CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY. DEC. 20, 1900.
AN ABLE DOCUMENT.

One of the ablest political documents
of recent times is William j. Bryan's
letter to the public, which appeared in
the Chicago American on the 10th. 1t is
his first review since election of the pc.
litical situation and outlook. Without
assailing Grover Cleveland by so much
as a single word, Mr.. Bryan briefly but
completely marshalls the facts in connec-
ton with Mr.. Cleveland's second term
so as to make them tell their own story
of treachery on the tariff question and
party disruption on the money question.
This reorganization of facts will not be
relshed by Cleveland's admirers. But
it is difficult to guess what objections
they can urge against the reasons Bryan
recites to justify the reiteration OF the
silver plank in the campaign of 1900. He
makes out a perfect case, both upon the
score of expedicncy and of common hon
esty. And while he admits that the re-
publican party was able to make use of
this action on the silver question to
threaten borrowers and scare bank de-
positors, he truly says that ''this could
not have been avoided without COM
plete surrender to the influences which
control the republican party" Incl
dcntally he administers merited rebuke
to the men who call themselves demo-
Gratis but who in the recent campaign
urged Opposition to silver as reason
for defending trusts, large army and an
imperial policy" But what is calculated
most to strengthen the confidence of
those democrats who believe in Bryan's
democracy, and to draw others of their
kind toward him, is his brief but vital
discussion OF the shifting issues of politi-
cal campaigns. Because no one can
foresec events, no one in 1896 could tell,
he says, what would be the paramaant.
wit 6e the paramount issue OF 1904.
But, he continues:
"While no one can foresee events, par
ties, like individuals, can have fixed and
definite principles and can apply these
principles to new issues as they arise.
The man who is determined to obey the
commandment, Thou shalt not steal,
cannot foresce what temptation may
come to him or what emergencies he may
have to meet, but he can know that he
will not take that which belongs to an
other, no matter how great the tempta-
ton may be-
In this habit OF meeting the shifting
problems of daily life by reference to alb
solute principle, trying both to know and
to apply the principle Alright, lies the
strength Of Mr.. Bryan's character and
the tenacious quality of his popularity.
II is also the explanation Of his unpopu-
laritv. The man who truly makes prin-
ciple his mentor and guide is dubious
character to large proportion OF man
kind. They don't understand that mode
OF life. There would seem, at any rate,
to be no other reasonable explanation OF
the bitterness of hate which large class
OF conventionally good people exhibit
toward this young man OF manifest
ability, of proved moral character and OF
stainless life. He lives in the concrete
what they only preach in the abstract.

A primary election law, modelled after
a statute of the state OF Minnesota, is be-
ing advocated, and will be pushed before
the coming session of the legislature, in
an effort to purify politics and abolish
machine-bossed conventions. The idle
is good one, but hardly goes far enough.
Bossism in political parties exists only
by reason OF the Indifference of the aver
age voter in the matter of primaries and
conventions, and, to overcome this in
difference, voting at the primary cleo
tions should be made compulsory. 1t
would be well to insert clause making
the vote at the primaries a necessary
qualification to vote at the election
proper, unless good and sufficient excuse
for failure be given.

L. r. Brooks, of Los Angeles, CAL, is
in the city, preparing an interesting work
on "Grays Harbor, It's Resources. The
work is to be small, handsome volume
devoted to the industries and resources
of Grays Harbor, and will vary from all
previous efforts in this direction, in that
it will in no sense be private advertise
ing medium, but, if properly circulated,
will do much to advertise the resources
of this favored region. The work is to
contain not less than 36 pages, and have
no less than 80 half tone illustrations.
The reading matter will be descriptive of
Aberdeen and vicinity, and will be just
the thing to mail to eastern friends, and
to prospective investors. AS no adver-
Using matter is inserted, Mr.. Brooks
only asks the guaranteed sale of 1900
copies at ten cents each, and so far he is
meeting with very liberal response
from the people of this city.

Great salt Lake sAri.kl.s.

The reason why the Great Salt Lake
in Utah u growing smaller, according
to Prof. ]. q. Talmage, Is that the
volume Of water from its four tribu-
tary rivers Is being more or less d.

says the water Of the lake is growing
each year more acrid as it shrinks in
size, and he thinks that in another 100
years 1t will be replaced by q glittering
