A Bryan Cabinet.

While the Kansas City convention is
reading the Declaration of Independ-
ence and nominating for the presidency
that great voice, William j. Bryan, it
is getting lots of good advice from
various quarters. One of the best
pointers yet given it is the suggestion
of the New York Sun that it put in
nomination the statesmen who will con-
stitute Mr.. Bryan's cabinet if he is
elected in November. This would take
the President ELECT and would enable
him to ring 'steen variations of his 16
to l monologue into his inaugural ad-
dress. BY way of disinterested sugges-
ton the Sun makes up combination
for Bryan's cabinet which we cordially
endorse as worthy their chief in per-
sonality and principle. No explanation
is needed of the slate. 1t sufiices to say
that each man is as well fitted for his
DDSltlOU, anu III thG SoiiiS "''S
fitted, as Bryan is for the presidency.
Why doesn't the new Democracy,
which is so strong on disregarding
precedent and casting aside tradition.
adopt the unique innovation suggested
by the Sun and settle the cabinet after
the following fashion:
Secretary of State, Carl Schurz of
Missouri.
Secretary of the Treasury. Richard
Croker of New York.
Secretary of War. James Hamilton
Lewis of Washington.
Secretary of the Navy, Samuel Bowles
of Massachusetts,.
Attorney General, William SulZer of
New York.
Postmaster General, Nat Ward Fitz
Gerald Of West Virginia.
Secretary of the Interior. James D.
Richardson of Tennessee
Secre airy of Agriculture. Richard F.
Pettigrev of South Dakota.

No Washington correspondent Is a
fairer and more observing Judge of
men and affairs than Lincoln" repre-
senting the Boston Transcript. He Is
now at Kansas City and he writes that
Mr. Bryan has grown more intolerant,
rather than less so. of all who differ
with him on the silver question. and
accounts for the great change in his
personal attitude by the atmosphere
of adulation for four years now sur
rounding him as presidential candi-
date The Bryan of 1896 even thought
of boiling the party himself and join
ing the Populists unless what he con-
sidered the proper position on silver
should be taken. The Bryan of 1900
demands that the party come to him.
and the effect of the geographical en-
vironment at Kansas City Is to sup
port him in this error 1t is .Lincoln's"
opinion that the only thing to
strengthen Mr.. Bryan's otherwise
tottering cause is the anti-imperial-
istic movement, and that, he saws is
but little heard Of in Kansas CITY or

The Dav We Celebrate.

This is the day that the American
eagle and the small boy celebrate
More than that, it is the day when
every patriotic heart swells with
pride as on no other day. and the old
flag swirls in unusual glory from the
masthead. 1t is. TO be sure, not the
Fourth as our fathers and grand
fathers celebrated 1t. They took the
occasion. as they did everything in
life. with more solemnity than we do.
and their observance of Independence
day had a pomp and seriousness that
is lacking in these end of the century
years. The stately Grafton and the
grand banquet with it's patriotic toasts
are no longer the chief features of
the day. There is a pandemonium of
noise and a series of games and sports,
firemans musters, picnics and excur-
sions that would have Mortified the
patriots of the good old times.
But from this change in the manner
it does not follow that the spirit Of
patriotism is dying out, or that the
principles of liberty. SO dear to the
hearts of our fathers, are less sacred
to our own. The change is one that
pervades. in one way or another, all
lines of our national life and it must
not be misunderstood. Doubtless if
young America had had the oppor-
tunity in the old time he would have
been as noisy as he is this morning;
and. perhaps. if the men of those days
had been as busy as we are at the end
of the century. they would have felt
that a holiday could be better en-
ployed for rest and recreation than in
listening to spread-eagle Grafton for
two hours in the heat of the day.
people are char ID. since the good old
times; but the " :rican love of liber-
ty. the respec: II the founders of the
republic, and the aonor in which their
stupendous work is held, are things
that change not with the passing
years. If there had been any doubt
as to the quality and quantity of
American patriotism. it was quickly
dissipated by the magnificent response
made by every section of the land to
the nations call. two years ago. The
patriotic ardor that filled the ranks
with dishonor. was as deep and true
as that which animated the breasts of
the noble men at Saratoga and New
Orleans. The love of our flag and all
it represents was never greater in the
American heart than it is, today; and
never was that flag in a prOuder posi-
ton before the world or more worthy
the homage and affection of a mighty
nation.
Down with the pessimiSt! The man
who thinks the times are out Of joint
and that the country is going to the
bad. had better consult a doctor. The
political calamity bowler can be for
given for he has an ak to grind and
he knows better But the poor mortal
who really cannot see that the world,
and best of all our country. is making
progress in all that is good and great,
that today is better than yesterday
and that tomorrow will be better than
today as surely as its sun shall rise, is
either an object of pity or of con-
tempt. Never was our country so
great as it is at the close of q CEN
tury and a quarter Of national life;
never was there more to be proud Of
i'm its present and never more to hope
for and be confident of in it's future.

tions during the month.

being the first man in Hancock county
to hang out a Mckinley banner. Mr..
Hamor is evidently strong in his Re-
publican principles. He says that he
cast his first vote for President for
Lincoln and he has voted the straight
Republican ticket ever since except
twice, when he voted for Democratic
nominees for county officers. Mr..
Hamor says those two Democratic
votes saved his life. He was hunting
in the woods Of New Hampshire when
heavy thunder shower came on, and
he crawled into hollow log for pro-
lection. There he fell asleep. When
he awOke he could not move; the log
had swelled with the rain, and had
him fast. He thought his time had
come; he was far from home. and he
would starve there in the log. The
