Bryan's Failure.

Great men, men notorious, have had
their say as to the cause of Mr.. Bryan's
failure to reach the presidency, why
not little fish have their say as we'll? In
nearly all cases of causes of failure, the
chief reason assigned was Mr. Bryan's
radicalism, yet Mr.. Bryan is most de-
cidedly conservative man upon ques-
tions that concern the masses of the
people. Had the Democratic party taken
up the three questions Of direct legisla
ton, postal telegraph and telephone, and
the annuling of the national banking
system, substituting direct issue of
money therefor, he would have had
something tangible with which to go
before the people. His opposition to
trusts would have been infinitely more
effective than his present plan of licens-
ing them. His opposition to the govern
mental policy in the Philippines and the
question of free silver at 16 to / as a re-
demption money drove thousands from
him. The only question that made Re-
publican votes was the prosperity dodge
and the scare would have been greatly
lessened had Mr.. Bryan advocated meas.
ures that appealed to the common sense
of every voter in the country.
Had Mr.. Bryan taken cognizance of
the powerful effect those ideas had upon
both old parties, while the Populist par
ty was in the middle of the road, he
might now be the incoming president,
but so many of the leaders of his own
party are in full sympathy with the op-
position to those measures, because they
are beneficiaries, prevented his espous-
ing fully the cause of the people. Mere
opposition is not enough; it requires
something more positive and radical to
attract voters, look at the effect of Pin
gree's radicalism, of Tilman's, S. c.,
and Jones, of Ohio, and then say that the
people desire conservative men. If the
Democratic party moves forward there
is hope for it, but if backward, it's name
is Dennis. .'-Faribault Jeffersonian.

The fusion deal seems to have acted
as boomerang to the Democratic par
ty.
The Democrats claimed that the Pop
ulists would nearly all vote their ticket
If they did there are certainly not many
Democrats in the country.
The Quill is now more hopeful for the
cause of reform than it has been since
1896. Because the betrayers of reform
are now out of the way.
The great Republican landslide was
not because of the peoples admiration
for the Republican party, but because
of their disgust for the Democratic par
ty.
The reformers can now train their
guns on the Republican party. The
Democratic party is dead, and we can
not afford to waste ammunition on dead
ducks
So we are to have a continuation Of
the present great CD prosperity for four
more years. BY that time great many
people will be tired of prosperity ami
will be willing to vote for real re-
form party.
A large number of Populists voted the
Democratic ticket in 1896. and the DEM
ocrats have been abusing the Populists
ever since; and now it looks as if the
Populists had tried voting the Repub-
can ticket to see If it would. be anv het-

A New Party Under New Leader.
BY Wire From Boston, Nov. 10.

President George F. Washburn, Of the
Bryan club, and national executive COM
mittee of the Populist party has issued
the following address:
The campaign of 1900 was a contest
of conscience against capital. It was
the greatest struggle of human rights
since the days of Jackson or Lincoln.
'The reelection of Mckinley was a
victory for imperialism and the trusts,
but our grand reform movement will
roll on to ultimate victory
1T is beyond the range of human
probability that Bryan will again be-
come the candidate Of the Democratic
party. But can lead to victory new
party conducted on safe and conserva-
tive, yet progressive lines.
Therefore, to maintain our present
momentum new party must be formed
we must have complete reunion Of re-
form forces.
This can be accomplished by uniting
the Bryan Democrats, Bryan Republi-
cans, Populists and other smaller bodies
to be led by the man of the hour, who
ever he may be.
81 believe that had such a party been
formed four years ago, Bryan would
have triumphed this time.
Accordingly, l propose that at an
early date we have a conference of the
parties referred to in the central part
of the country for the purpose of effect

Woman SuHrage.

l cannot refrain from saying some
thing, collectively, of course, about your
American women. There is nothing like
them in the world that have ever seen.
In our cities the men are subjects for
general admiration in their sprightli-
ness, dash, vigor and generally we'll
groomed appearance, In America it is
the women. l have been astonished at
the intelligent interest they take in pub
lie affairs, not only in their own coun-
try, but all over the world. Naturally
a great many of them, have asked me
about the results of our Irish local gov
ernment act of 1898, which gives women
equal suffrage with men on all questions
of local government and upon every
question on which the Irish people vote,
except that of sending representatives
to the British house of commons.
OF course l am an advocate of woman
suffrage. Why not? The interest that
it gives to women in municipal govern
ment is in itself an educating force 1t
is in sympathy with the spirit of the age,
which is enlargement and not restric-
ton. What woman lacks in logic She
supplies in intuition. What she lacks
in strength of mind she makes up ia
finesse and delicacy. Capable, honest
and intelligent women, united for the
annihilatlon of wrong, are tremendous
power in politics. In the progress of
civilization woman's power and capabili-
ties are becoming more manifest. 1t is
high time that we break away from the
barbarism that makes women intellect
ual interiors. Are we told that the poll
ing booth is not fit place for women?
Then say it is the duty of man to make
it fit place for her The admission
that it is not SO is in itself disgrace.
In Dublin, previous to the local gov
ernment act, we had about 5000 voters,
none of whom were women. Now our
voters list is about $4,000, of whom at
least $4,000 are women Their votes
have helped secure the election of candi-
dates pledged to social reforms. Our
elections, since they have been given the
power of voting, have been orderly and
we'll conducted. Not the slightest dis
order has taken place at any booth.
But the new privileges of women are
not confined to the franchise. They may
be elected to the city councils, rural
councils and boards of poor law guard
ians. Mrs. Maurice Dockrell, wife of
Dublin merchant, was elected council
or of the district of Blackjack, and on
the first meeting of the council she was
unanimously elected deputy chairman.
In Templemore, Mrs. iBracKen, a gradu-
ate of the Royal University of Ireland,
was elected chairman.

the Populists to vote their. ticket. Then
by insults and abuse and slandsr. con-
t1nued from then till now, they have
succeeded in driving the other half into
the Republican party. But in doing so
they have completely destroyed their
own party.
It was almost dead in 1895, and would
have gone down never to rise again
IL it had not been helped out by the
Populists. Then they turned around
and played traitor with the friends
who helped 1t out of the grave. But
it is now dead! Dead! Dead! Never to
rise again. In view of this fact the re-
formers should lose no time in getting
together and commencing the work Of
reorganization. That is, the members
Of the various reform parties should
compare notes and get a national con-
ference called in which all the reform
parties shall take a part, and the result
will be a grand reform movement that
will sweep the country in 1904.

Master of the Situa ton.

In the days of slavery, Abram was q
special favorite with his master, whom
he had served as body servant from his
youth At the death of his master, his
mistress accorded him the same privil-
eges he had enjoyed, and at the time OF
emancipation he resisted every tempta-
tion to quit the old plantation. How
ever, in the exercise of his magisterial
duties, and his rights as privileged
character, he became obnoxious to the
other negroes, and no amount of re-
monstrance on the part of his mistress
seemed to avail. Finally her patience
became exhausted by his frequent inter
ference with her plans, as we'll as with
the rights of the negroes, and she de-
termined to dismiss him; SO calling him
to her, she said, kindly:
"Abram,' she began in a kindly tone,
81 see that you and cannot live in peace
on the same place, and we must part"
But before the mistress was able to
conclude her preamble, Abram exclaim-
ed:

Misses BOlerO Waist. No. 1886.


Whatever other styles the autumn

The very chic design shown is youth

materials. AS illustrated, the jacket is
of fawn-colored vicuna cloth with bands
of rich red braid, the waist of soft
finished taffeta in slightly lighter
shade with embroidered dots of red
that match the braid, and worn with a
crust belt and collar of panne velvet rib
bon in the same warm color. Velvet
could, however, be substituted for the
bolero with admirable effect, and all
suiting materials are entirely appro-
pirate.

that closes at the center front On it is
arranged the full front, that is tucked
to form a pointed yoke. AS shown it is
included in the right shoulder and under
arm seams, and hooked over to the left:

When plaid goods is used, good effect
is obtained by making a seam at the
center front, the pattern being laid on
the bias edge of the material in place
of the fold. The plaid must, of course,
be carefully matched, but when that is
done the result is a good one, and the
sides, falling on the straight, are not so
liable to sag.
To cut this skirt for woman of the
medium size 31s yards of material so
