TRELT THE ENEMY,S COLNTRY. .

1t is announced on no less authority than that
Of "A letter which he has sent to Dr. John H
Grdner that Mr.. Bryan is coming to New-1ork
as soon as his engagements will permit on
sad and important errand. -Four years ago.
when about to visit u.s. Mr.. Bryan described
this region as the enemy's country. The fact
that it is such to-day, in a different sense from
that in which he then employed the phrase, is
the reason for his coming. He has ascertained
that "a mans foes shall be they Of his own
household" and his awkward mission is to
bring about peace which will be good enough
until after election. The enemies who occupy
his thoughts at the present moment are Croker
and Hill and his determination to change all
his arrangements in the hope Of closing the
bloody chasm is as clear a proof as anybody
could ask to see of the anxiety which their war
fare is causing him.
There has never been much reason to sup
pose that Mr. Bryan enjoyed his travels through
the enemy's country in 1896. He came hither
under the impression that his advent was re-
garded as the most awesome occurrence in the
history of the metropolis He was to speak in
Madison Square Garden. and long before the ap-
pointed hour the neighborhoOd was packed
with perspiring citizens that the police could
scarcely force a passage for the Nebraska
phenomenon. The huge amphitheatre was full
to the roof and it really looked If a stupen-
dous moment had arrived. But the great man
had scarcely made a fair start when his audi
ence began to dribble away, and less than half
of it was left when he concluded. 1t was mere
curiosity that led to all the crowding and the
tumult, and shrewd men. discerning the fact,
hastened to send orders to their brokers to buy
stocks at the opening of the market the next
morning.
That was a melancholy experience for Mr.
Bryan, and his coming visit to the enemy's
country, undertaken with less pleasing ex-
pectations, is not likely TO produce more
cheerful results. He comes to command a cessa-
ton of hostilities between two men who hate
each other with bitter and relentless hatred
and to whom his needs and wishes are a matter
of comparatively trifing concern. Doubtless he
has reason TO consider the task Indispensable
but before he has finished the greatest effort of
his life the designation which he applied to this
part of the United States four years ago with
such foolish satisfaction will convey new and
pOrtentous meaning to his mind.

CERTOTS SHOWERS.

Showers Of fish like one recently noted in
Western Colorado no new thing, and there
have been showers of rats and toads and lizards
and other rodents, reptiles and the like re-
corded from time to time. Though they over
come us like a summer cloud. they need no
longer excite special wonder. In current par
lance, 1t often rains cats and dogs, but this
is fgurative deluge, inviting no scientific in

hours, to the great terror Of the simple minded

There is nothing miraculous in these occur

This is the vital point Of the whole situation.
On it must turn the judgment of the people.
The ultimate disposition of the Philippines is a
more remote question Some supporters of Mr..
Mckinley doubtless look to the time when those
islands could be safely left to their own de-
vices. And there are all degrees of dependence,
including the protectOrate talked of by the Dem
ocrats The crux of imperialism is not the
future arrangement for governing a dependent
territory. but the holding of that territory for
an instant. Is Mr.. Bryan going to keep sol
diers in the Philippines to maintain order while
establishing that stable government? If so, the
question for discussion between the parties is
our ultimate relation with the islands, not the
present problem confronting the American Ad-
ministration and the American Army. In de-
Gliding intelligently between the parties it is
essential TO know what the first steps of either

squarely what he would do Would he imme-
diately withdraw the troops?

NOTHING But A FARCE.

The first feeling Of many respectable citizens
on hearing that the den of iniquty known as
the TivoN had been pulled" was doubtless one
of qualification because at last the police au-
thorites had done something which they ought
to have done long ago. But we not sure
that on reflection there is more cause for re-
joicing than for shame and indignation in the
Incident. The motive for closing the place and
arresting its patrons just at this time seems TO
have arisen from a consideration of the incon-
venient notorety into which it had been brought
by the recent assault on Senator Ford and of
the proprietor's awkward assertion that he was
protected by a sufficiently powerful pull. No
offence was committed there Wednesday
night which had not been committed every night
for a long time previous and no evidence was
obtained against the establishment which might
not have been obtained before or which added
anything to the ample knowledge of its charac
ter and operations already possessed by the
Chief of Police and his subordinates Nor is it
possible to suppose that any one Of the Police
Commissioners was more ignorant inasmuch as
1t was known for what 1t was to thousands Of
citizens and it's evil reputation was familiar TO
the whole community. In short all the evidence
supports the belief that the Tivoli was raided
partly because it had lately excited a certain
degree of official animosty and partly because
circumstances had MADE continuation OF lIS
immunity imprudent.
This particular resort of vice and crime has
been less repulsive superhcially than some other
places where the same propensities are encour-
aged and gratfed, but 1t has not been in
trinsically viler than many resorts which -four
ish by the same means and do not get into
trouble Consequently this affair, so far from
tending to show that the police want to enforce
the law and keep the city decent, and are slow
to act only when they lack necessary evidence
on which to proceed, convnces all intelligent
citizens that protection is their rule and inter
ference the exception which proves it. On the
whole, therefore, this manifestation of sudden
energy is calculated not to please and encourage
the reputable public, but to strengthen the gen
eral sense of the degradation of the municipal
government 1t Is possible that other raids will
follow in order that this spectacular perform
ance may not appear too ridiculous, but we fail

TIE KAIL OF GAMALIEL.

Predictions are always dangerous and we
seldom make them. But we felt sure enough
Of our ground to predict a few weeks ago that
though there then seemed a great gap IN the
file Of ant-imperialist letters in open or covert
support of Organism, it was perfectly certain
that the gap would be filed in due season by
the appearance of Gamaliel Bradford. Gamaliel
is slow but sure. 1t takes him longer to timber
up than William Lloyd Garrison, the emotional
and poetic, or Erving WinslOw. the anti-impe
rialist secretary, with a steuographer and other
convenences for correspondence at hand. But
Gamaliel gets there just the same, as we knew
he would.
This last-we mean latest-waI of Gamaliel
gives his reasons for preferring to support
Bryan rather than third ticket. In that we
think he is right. Feeling as he does we think
Bryan is his proper candidate and it is more
respectable to support him directly than to try
to delude some people into voting for n third
ticket on the dishonest pretence that they are
not supporting Bryan His general Indictment
of the Republican party on other counts than
that Of imperialism weakens somewhat the
force Of his Indignation over the expansion
danger for 1t shows him a man seeking ex-
cuses TO critclse the Republicans and get back
in line with their opponents. whom he deserted
four years ago only far enough TO vote for
Palmer and Buckner. He can therefore hardly
be said to repudiate President Mckinley, since
he never was really for him, and only goes
back the half step he reluctantly took before.
Carpet bag governments" "the Force bill,
the tariff, the Interstate Commerce act, pen
sions National bank laws and many other
things excite his ire and apparently his oppo-
sition to Imperialism is only an incident to his
hatred of everything the Republican party has
stood for since the Civil War.
The wall, however, contains one paragraph of
anti-imperial denunciation which deals not with
opinions but facts and the conclusions sug-
gested by them utterly unjust and false
furnishing reasons for support of Bryan as
against Mckinley that they call for a little
attention. Gamalel says that "the whole
course of the Mckinley Administration and
"its supporters for the last two years has been

Declaration Of Independence" and he attempts
to support this proposition by three instances
