IF Mr.. Bryan were president and
controlled the legislative branches,
this country would be thrown in a
panic which would require months to
check and years to heal. False proph-
cts and leaders spring up and
live for time, and they die. Mean
time the true principles of self-govern-
ment live.
my prediction is that after Mr..
Bryan has been defeated for the Sec
ond time the people will renounce
him. No man aud no set Of principles
can live after having been twice de-
feated at the polls. Perhaps it is well
that Mr.. Bryan was renominated. His
party cannot win. and his defeat will
forever settle him.
should he be successful he would
convert democracy into populism. and
! can apprehend no more serious ma
tional calamity, than populist prin-
ciples of political economy be even
given trial. They are unsuited fol-
the times and unsuited and unsafe for
a successful government NJ

Admiral Fourier, commander of the

fact that the France turned to the

tails thus far received are very meager;
but small portion of the crew, con-
sisting of four officers and So men
were saved. 1t is believed that no
fewer than so were lost. and great
anxiety is felt here. The France,

A PIIferinR Brynnite.

Mr.. Webster Davis, the self-consti-
tuted champion of the Beers, who re-
signed as assistant secretary of the
interior because of his dissatisfaction
with the administration, has still fur
ther displayed his dissatisfaction by
Topping over to Bryan. He signalized
his flop by making speech at the
ratification meeting in Lincoln which
greatly pleased the sixteen to one can
didate as well as the notification COM
mittee. Charmed with his oratory,
the democratic national committee
promptly arranged to have him APP
pear on the stump in various cities as
Bryan spell-binder. Their enthusi-
asm, however, suddenly cooled when
IL was discovered that some of his
Lincoln speech was stolen almost
bodily from one of James A. Garfield's
speeches. 1t was about 16 parts Gar
field to one Davis. 1t is not likely now
that the Bryanites will be so eager
for the oratorical services of n man
who shows such disregard for the
use of quotation marks. = Chicago

Macatawa, Mich, Tuesday while trying
to make parachute drop into Lake

momentarily entangled. and the sud

SILVER WILL NOT DOWN.

The hope of the mugwump enemies
81 President Mckinley thut Mr.. Bryan
would be placed in a position where he
could force the silver issue into the
background and make his campaign on
the Imperialism issue il not to be graf
flied. Silver is bound to be an impor-
tant issue of the campaign, no matter
how the eastern leaders of the party
may try to ignore il, and no matter
what Bryan may do in the attempt to
push Imperialism to the front after the
campaign has opened.
Bryan and his followers have gone
too far in committing the party to free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to to take
the back track now. Even il a specific
declaration for silver had'not been put
into the platform it would have been
impossible 10 evade the issue. Bryan's
open declaration of his purpose not to
abandon the principle for which he
fought in 1896, and the avowal by his
followers of their belief in the virtue
of the issue of 16 TO 1, prove that the
masses of the democracy throughout
the west and south are as fully com
mitted to-. that issue now as they were
in 1896.

Rome, Aug. 10.-The train bearing
the remains of the late king of Italy,
which left Monza at 4:2s p. m, Wednes-
day, accompanied by the duke of Aosta,
the count of Turin and the duke of
Oporto. arrived here al 6: 30 a. IN. Thurs
day. Immediately after that hour ten
noncommissioned officers of cuiras-
siers carried the casket containing the
body of King Humbert from the funeral
train to the large hall of the railroad
station, which had been transformed
into chapel, hung with sable drap-
cries with gold orBamentation. The
first chaplain of the court, assisted by
a number of priests, pronounced the
absolution. and the cortege started for
the Pantheon, where rest the remains
of Humbert's father, King Victor EN-
manuel III.
During the march Of the procession
several brushes occurred. Among those
present in the crowd on the Via Del Ser
penti 20 persons received slight wounds
and 80 others were bruised.
When the casket reached the Pam
theon ten noncommissioned officers
of cuirassiers lifted it from the gun
carriage and carried it into the
church where 1t was received by
Mgr. Count of Reggie, archbishop
of Genoa, who was in his pontifical
robes and surrounded by the ca
thedral furctionaries. The casket
was then raised to the top of cata-
falque surmounted by wreath of
iron, and nn it was placed the he'll
met and sword of King Humbert.
London, Aug. 10.-A special dis
patch from Rome says that sudden
movement of the crowd in the Via
Nazionale, as the kings carriage in
the funeral procession passed, result
ed in a panic during which 30 persons
were injured and several were badly
crushed. The dispatch adds that it
was at first thought by the officers
that it was the new kings life that
was in danger, and the duke of Aosta
and the count of Turin drew their
swords. while the cavalry drove back
the crowd and inclosed the kings car
riage in a square. Women. the dis
patch continues, tainted and shrieked
and number were knocked down
and trampled under foot, but the dis
aster, which was seemingly inevitable,
was averted.
