dispassionate observers OF the politl-
cal situation that the democrats Of the
country viii be much less divided in the
support OF Bryan In the coming contest
than they were four years ago, and
the republicans, to win in the coming
struggle. must win on their own
strength rather than on the weakness
OF the democracy. The question OF
cheap money. involving the free coin
age Of silver at the ratio Of lS TO /.
is past issue in point Of fact whether
OF not the democrats shall commit the
folly OF reviving it in their platform
at Kansas City.
The country feared cheap money and
repudlation four years ago. but there
is no reason whatever to fear II now.
Our financial policy is settled. and no
popular Judgment given in the coming
national battle could in any way
change it. The business interests OF
the country win. therefore. not be dis
turbed by the money issue, and the
democrats will only weaken themselves
by exhibiting a lack OF political saga
city If they shall revive the now ir-
revocably settled money dispute that
absolutely controlled the contest OF
1896.
The lines OF the two great parties
are now pretty well shaped. and the
democrats will certainly be in a strong
er position than was anticipated when
the present congress met in December
last. They have the advantage OF an
aggressive campaign before them, with
the republicans compelled to accept the
defensive because Of the failure Of con-
gress to legislate on the trust issue.
the Nicaragua canal, the war taxes. the
Philippines and other questions which
will be more or less factors in the
national battle.
The republicans have the advantage
Of prosperous country; of having es-
tablished a sound financial system that
is now unalterable. and in having a
party whose achievements write some
Of the most brilliant chapters in the
annals Of the Nation; but with all these
advantages. those who assume that the
great national battle Of 1900 will not
be one Of the most earnest and possi-
bly, one Of the most doubtful struggles
Of our national history. do not intel
ligently appreciate political conditions.

SHAPING THE LINES FOR 1900.

This has been an eyentful week in
national politics. Much has been done
by both the great parties of the coun-
try tc shape the lines for the battle Of
1860.
1t is no longer a disputed question
that William Jennings Bryan will be
the unanimous nominee Of the demo-
cratic convention for president, and re-
cent political events indicate that a
very large proportion of the cound
money democrats who opposed Bryan
four years ago, will give him faithful
if not enthusiastic support. Bryan's
popularity with the rank and file Of
the democratic party is so general and
SO positively inspired to give aggres-
siye support to his cause, that all who
look for future fellowship with demo
cracy will follow in favoring Bryan.
Tine two most important democratic
state conventions Of the year have Just
been held in New York and Maryland
Both of those states voted against
Bryan by overwhelming majonies,
and neither could be carried against
Mckinley with the cheap money issue
accepted as vital in the struggle. The
conventions Of both states declared in
favor Of Bryan's nomination for pres
ident, and both practically discarded
the free silver or cheap money issue.
This important action Of an apparently
united democracy in both Maryland
and New York, will be likely to i'm
press the national convention with the
necessity of conserving the Chicago
platform Of 1896. and making the new
questions of the day the vital issues
OF the battle.
It is now evident to all intelligent and

MR.. nRYAN AND THE BoERs,

Mr. Bryan, in response to the inquiry
as 10 what he thought about inviting
the Beers to come to America. says:
The Beers are Industrious and in
telligent. and have shown themselves
lovers Of liberty. II they lose their
fight for independence hope they will
come TO the United States. wish
they could come soon enough 10 help
save this country from the imperial
ism that is driving them from South
Africa. A small part Of the money now
being expended on war OF conquest,
would, II spent in reclaiming arid lands.
make homes for all the Beers and thou
sands Of our people besides. wish there
we're more Of them in this country.
They could well take the place Of a

the imperiallstic policy of Great Brit

Murat Halstead. in late article.
held that the Beers certainly have
good points. but that Bryan is mistak
en- as TO their political character. They
are the most brutal shareholders the
world has ever seen. They attempted
10 prevent DR.. Livingstone from speak
ing to native Africans of the black
races. Of Christ. threatened to kill him
if he did, and tried to XIII him for do
ing it. They would have assassinated
him for doing missionary work. if it
had not been that he was absent when
they raided his home and destroyed
his property, and they took the black
children he was teaching and sold and
whipped them into slavery.
According to Boer precedents in the
Transvaal if they were transplanted
to Nebraska or any other American
state. no matter how small minority
they were in. they would disfranchise
everybody else and impose nine-tenths
Of the taxation upon the majorities
VINO would not be permitted to vote
because they would overvote the Beers.
But let us consider what would hap
pen If Kruger and his people could
be deported and transferred TO the
state OF Mississippi In that state the
majority Of the people are black. The
Beers would not allow any Of the
blacks to vote, and would practically
re-enslave them, and lash them to their
tasks They have been. during the
war with the British, whipping the
Kafirs with bull whips, forcing them
to work on fortiications. SO much for
the black ''niggers."
And IL the Beers had their way in
Mississippi as in the Transvaal they
would enslave the whites also-take
away their arms. refuse them any
share Of citizenship. tax them and as
sess them and rob them to enrich the
Kruger family, and permit them no
representation whatever. That is, the
Beers would make white niggers out Of
the white people. and If an English
speaking person got into the legisia-
ture. he would not be heard in his own
language, but Il ne broke silence 1t
