Rerve-lifting yell, such as would put a
comanche Indian to shame, and attract
ing a crowd. he said: Here's just the
thing you want to take to the conven-

handkerchiefs. which will cure colds and
sore threats. You will want TO yell, gen.

remember the glorious Fourth-in fact,
the most glorious Fourth in the history
OF this grand republic since George Wash

THE NOMINEE FOR VICE PREsI-
DENT

The thought of Adlai Ewing Stevenson
| for the nomination for Vice President was
a happy one. 1t offered a way cut of what
was a rather complicated, and what
misht have becsme. troublesome situa-
| ton
The Populists and Silver Republicans
we're pressing the nomination Of Mr..
| Towne. an admirable man from some
points of view, but entirely unsuited for
the position of nominee for Vice Presideat
on the Democratic ticket. He is Silver
Republican in name, but a Popnlist in
fact He is at the head OF the Silver Re-
publican organization, and is the nominee
of the Fopulists for Vice President 1t
would never have done for the Democrats
to nominate for Vice President man
with such political affiliations. As mat
ter of fact Mr. Bryan represents all the
Popuism with which the Democratic par
ty desires to have any connection.
The nomination of former Senator Hill
would not have been wise Mr. Bryan did
not want h m as an associate on the tick
ct, not because lie has anything person
ally against him, but because they are
not in sympathy on the money question
Mr.. Hill is not a 16 to 1 man, and with
him on the ticket, Mr.. Bryan would have
been handicapped, He would have found it
difficult 10 explain why it was that a man
hostile to the l6 to ! idea was placed on
the ticket with him. Mr.. Hill realized hat
it would not be advisable for him to be
the nominee That was the main reason
probably why ne declared that he would
not accept the nomination. His record
would not permit him 10 stand on is 10
1 platform. He would have been glad to
have the nomination for President and
during the second day of the convention
the demonstrations in his favor seemed
to indicate that If there were fight over
the platform, and the opponents OF de-
claration for silver won, he would be the
candidate for President
The other candidates for Vice President
made no impression on the convention.
This was the situation when Mr. Steven
son was suggested. He was Vice President
during Mr.. Cleyelands second term, and
has an excellent record He is in sympa-
thy with his party on all public questions
and has considerable popularity in the
West While he will not add any great
amount of strength to the ticket he will
not be a weight upon it. He is a con-
sentative and safe man, and if the Demo-
Gratis should be successful he would be an
admirable presiding officer in the Senate.
1t is a question whether vice presiden-
tial nomination could have been made
that would have strengthened the ticket.
Mr. Bryan is practically the whole ticket,
and would have been if any other man
had been nominated for Vice President
except Mr.. Hill, who, as already stated,
while he might have helped the ticket in
the East would have hurt it in the West.

Already there are Indications of a dis
cord in the concert of the Powers in
China. Japan's good intentions, It is in
dicated, have been or will be paralyzed
by the jealousy Of Russia. A few days
ago it was intimated that Japan might
be given a free hand TO go in and finish
up the work that Russia prevented her
from doing in 1894 There seems now to
be some doubt that Russia would agree
to any such thing. japanese preponder-
ance in China might interfere with some
of the plans that Russia has laid down
for herself. The little island empire would
want an indemnity, OF course. fer It's
work, and the concessions it would ask
would probably be Port Arthur, which IL
once fairly captured, and other ter.
ritory that is wanted by Russia.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk CVa.) Landmark Oem.)
says: I'VE wish that Admiral Dewey
were in Chinese waters to-day. Undigni-
fed and even ridiculous as his conduct has
been in some respects since he got on
land there is no doubt that in his ele
ment ne is an extremely able man. Ii
is only as a sailor that he is a states
man, but he is statesman of large cal
ibre then If he were in Chinese waters
now he would rank all the foreign naval
officers there. we think, and would com
mand the entire fleet In case of trouble.
He would in all proba biiity have made
his mark several times. Possibly he would
nave been able TO avert some of the trou-
bles that has come upon the Caucasians
under their present leadership. Certain
ly the people of the United States will
expect from Admiral Kempff a better
explanation than they have YET had Of his
motives in not permitting the Monocacy
to return the fire of the Chinese forts"
The Charleston News and Courier Dem)
says: such a platform could have no
better exponent than William Jennings
Bryan, who was nominated without oppo-
sition by the Democratic Convention last
night He has made a hard, consistent
effective fight for the paramount issue
OF the campaign and with strong
party behind him and sure goal I'm front
of him, he will win II the people are true
TO themselves and true to their country"
The Columbia g. c. State Dem) sage
1--WE venture 90 believe that the Demo-
cratic party will make Republicans dread
fully sick of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence before the campaign ends. That i'm
mortal instrument has ever been obnox-
ious to tyrants, and compound doses of 1t
are calculated to bring even hardened
imperialists to a condition of fiaccid hope
lessness."
The Birmingham Accelerate CDem }
says: THE man is pitted against the dol
lar, and Mr.. Bryan stands for the man and
Mr.. Mckinley for the dollar including
OF course all sorts of privilege from a
Dingley tariff and ship subsidies 40 re-
sultant combinations and troops enough

Private Bremen, of the F'orty-sixth Reg
iment of Volunteers. in the Philippines,
writes to the Philadelphia Press to protest
against the liberal giving Of American
money to Lily Langtry and others for the
benefit of British soldiers in South At
RIGA, while there are so many American
soldiers in the Philippines who would the
more appreciate attention from Americans,
and to whom American attention is more
due We confess to a sympathy with Pri-
vate Brenner's kick" There isn't any
good reason why the people of this coun-
try should raise a hospital or any other
fund for the British soldiers. Great Bri-
tain is amply. able, and is quite willing,
TO do all that is needful for Tommy At
kins.' Those Americans who have made
themselves most prominent in working for
British soldiers, and contributing to funds
for them, are probably anglomaniacs and
toadies VINO worship the Prince of Wales
from distance, and were willing to give
their money to Mrs. Langtry because 1t
Is known that she is in favor with His
Royal Highness. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that no collections have been taken up in
Great Britain for our soldier boys, nor
has England ever fitted out any hospital
ship for their benefit

Should authentic news come from
China 10 the effect that Minister Conger,
his family, his guards and a number of
American missionaries had been butch
cred by the Boxers, II would be very diff
fcult to restrain the fighting spirit Of the
United States. The murder of Minister
Won Ketteler has set the phlegmauc Ger
mans afire and the American people are

Already one may hear among the young
men expressions Of desire to volunteer

there have been murdered.

Probably the death of no other newspa-
per man in the South would cause more
universal regret than has that of Col.
Charles O'Brien Cowardin, editor of the
Richmond Dispatch. He was, in the
ruest sense of the expression, a genial
gentleman; loyable in all his moods In
teresting in conversation, courteous in
manner, and at heart kindness itself.
With these qualities, he was neverthe-
less man of decided opinions, and firm
in maintaining that which he thought to
be right. AS a humorist Of that gentle
sort which delights to amuse, entertain
and instruct, but never wounds, he will
be remembered in Virginia. Only one of
his kind is produced in generation. In
the newspaper associations of which Col.
Cowardin was a member and of which
he was the happiest spirit, his place will
never be filled, and for years to come
his absence will cause a sigh to arise
from the hearts of those who knew him
best and appreciated him for his sterling
worth.

German officers were among those who
drilled the Chinese and taught them the
use of modern arms. German officers
drew plans last year for resisting an in
vasion OF the Chinese empire by sea. And
now German soldiers are to go against
those Gt rman-taught Chinese and attempt
to defeat the German-made plans of cam
paign which the Chinese will follow. 1t
was in Germany 100, that so many Maui
ser rifles with 1000 rounds of ammun on
for each, were purchased by the Chinese.
