The Hon. George Fred Williams has
returned from the West full of Bryan en-
thusiasn and confident that the Nebras-
kan will be elected. Impartial observers,
that is men who are seeking only for
the facts, fail to find any of the indica-
tlons which have so inspirited Mr..
Williams. The New York Herald which
has made a canvass of the country for the
sake of ascertaining the drift reports
nothing encouraging for MIR. Bryan,
but very much of tho other kind. 1t
can find no reason to think that there is
any doubt of McKinley's carrying New
York, New Jersey, or Connecticut in the
East, or any of the states in the Middle
West which he carried IN 1896, except ,
Indiana, which is close and doubtful, as
always a month before election. Of the
four upper Southern states carried by
Mckinney four years ago, it finds Della
ware and West Virginia inclining the
same way again, while Maryland and
Kentucky are reported more likely to go
for Bryan this time. Washington, on
the Pacific coast, Wyoming in the Rock
les, and South Dakota and Kansas in the
Missouri river valley. all OF which were
for Bryan in 1896, seem to be against
him now, while his hold upon two other
mountain states, Montana and Idaho,
is considered doubtful. This division al

GENEROSITY.

Perhaps the most marked examples of
generosity called out by the Galveston
calamity are furnished by the ladies Of
Chicago, who have been contributing
their husbands trousers and other ap-
p-arel to the clothing collection with such
freedom and prodigal1ty that many OF
the husbands have been obliged to rush ia
tee relief bureau to reclaim some of their
wives generous gifts, Meanwhile, the
contributions of female apparel are not
so abundant as they might be.

OF course the aldermen will not make

that repeated intoxication in gross form

hardly hold that man is disqualified for

fire because he occasionally takes drink.

THE PREDOMINANT ISS
(Lewiston Journal.)

The predominant issue of American
politics today-Outside of the presidential
is the reform Of the caucus. We shall
not cure political evils by boiling a bad
ticket and getting a worse ticket. We
shall cure the evil, If at all by putting
the caucus under the laws of elections
the caucus is the primary election. The
Australian caucus law, registration as in
secondary elections and long caucuses as
in the general elections are Important.
But the reform will come not from the
top but from where most reforms ema-
nate-from the ground floor. And it takes
long time for the ground floor to recOg-
nize that an old nuisance like the grog
shop and the mob caucus is not part
of the order OF providence But the reform
will come quite the same after the tax
payers have suffered long enough to dis
cover the real sourc3 of misgovernment
