GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.
Bryan Not Wholly Responsible for
Democratic Wreck.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal
1t is true that William J. Bryan has led
the Democratic party a disastrous pace
since he vaulted into the saddle. 1t is true
that under his leadership IL has suffered
two of the most crushing defeats in its his
tory. II is true that its alliance with pop
ulism under his dictation and its adoption
of Populistic policies were the very
sence of political insanity. And yet all the
blame for the undoing Of the Democratic
party cannot be justly laid on the shoulders
of this ambitious Nebraskan. Let US give
the deXil his due.
What was the condition Of the Demo-
cratic party when Bryan assumed-or.
rather, seized-its leadership? Before tho
close of Grover Cleveland's last admins
tration the country was plunged into hard
times. AS every one remembers, the busi-
ness depression and industrial stagnation
were appalling. The free-t-ade Wilson bin
had done its destructive work. Discomfort
was everywhere. The Democratic party
dared not 60 before the country again ON
the tariff issue. II had no issue. IL had
no prospects Its leaders were apathetic
and hopeless. In effect they were ready to
turn the old hulk over to whoever would
take IL and run Il through the ensuing
campaign. Bryan was the ambitious ad-
venturer who accepted the commission. He
ran it-in his own way. He reached out
in all directions for allies and fused with
everything that would join him. He took
up with the Populist crazes TO get away
from the deadly tariff issue. He ran the
party with a high hand through two presi-
Dental campaigns. and its RUNS are strewn
over two-thirds of the States OF the Union.
But Bryan was not the wrecker OF a
sound, healthy and fiourishing party, as
some OF the more respectable Democratic
leaders would now have the world believe.
He took an invalid in charge. administered
radical remedies and has brought II 10 the
verge Of the grave. The Hon. Grover Cleve-
land and the distinguished Democrats who
framed the free-trade bill which closed
the mills and smothsred the furnace fires
laid the foundation and erected part of the
superstructure OF the partys ruin. On
them should be placed an important share
of the responsibility. They hold up their
hands in holy horror and talk Of this dis
tressing campaign" but IL was the dis-
tressing condition into which their own
works threw the country that made sucn
a campaign as the last enc possibility.
Bryan is a failure In craftsmanship ard
iu leadership, but he cid not produce the
cases OF gripes from which the Democratic
party has been suffering aconies stree the

THE MAELARD DUCK.
None of Our Migratory Ducks Covers
Wider Range of Territory.
Forest and Stream


No one of our ducks has a wider range
than the mallard, which, as has been said.

duck IL is found over the entire northern
portion of the world; and in America as far
south as Mexico. while in Europe IL breeds
in southern Spain and Greece. 1t is be-
lieved 10 be common throughout Asia, ex-
cept in tropical India. and IL is more or less
abundant in northern Africa. Although a
migratory bird. the mallard may usually
be found throughout its range in winter,
provided there is open water, and a
place where il may feed. In many places
in the northern Rocky mountains, where
the thermometer often goes 10 80 or 40
degrees below zero, mallards may be found
throughout the winter living in warm
springs along swift streams where the
current is so rapid that the water never
freezes Thus IL is seen that the winters
cold has little TO do with the migration of
the mallard-or, in fact. with that of many
other ducks-and that, IL food is plenty, the
birds can bear almost any degree OF cold. Ii
is the freezing OF the waters and thus the

Howard, with symptoms Of astonish-

her--"the checks lost were blue-I

examined the end Of his cigar more
intently than ever and tried to ap-

abruptly from Falkland. ,..... ~,
"Certain!" answered Evelyn decid-
edly. But. II you like, I will fetch

She jumped up from her chair and
turned to hurry off along the terrace,
when. to her surprise. she found that
Major Brown had turned likewise, and
that consequently their paths both lay
in the same direction.
This is very serious business.
