THE MAN AND THE PLATFORM.

1t is said that an effort will be made a
the Kansas City Convention to have the
party promulgate "a platform which will
ignore free silver, but we are frank to say
we do not see how, under existing circurn-
stances, the party could afford to do It,
With Mr.. Bryan as candidate free silver
must be d leading issue, for Mr. Bryan is
the great apostle and exponent OF free
silver, and he has been SO completely iden-
titled with that movement that to de-
prive him of the free silver issue were
to rob Samson of his locks.
Mr. Bryan declares that he will take no
step backward, that he will stand in 1900
as he stood in 1886, for free silver and for
all that it Represents, and he declares that
is entirely in accord with him and with
the platform upon which he shall stands.
In all candor, we must say that in our
opinion Mr.. Bryan is right. If he has any
strength before the people to-day it is
along the lines pursued BY him in 1896. II
he can be elected it must be through the
vote of the free silver people, and if Mr..
Bryan should recant and say to his friends
that he was wrong in 1896 and that after
all the gold standard was right, he would
by that act lose the great rank and file
/ of his supporters.
That is what Bryan and Organism have
| brought the Democratic party to. If the
party could have gotten rid of Mr.. Bryan
it might have put up an old-time Demo-
crat upon an old-time Democratic plat
form, and it would have stood splendid
chance to. win. But Mr. Bryan represents
a distinct school Of politics which is con-
| trary to old-fashoned Democracy, and with
Bryan as the candidate there must be
| Organism as the issue.
In view of these facts, therefore, we eN-
| poet TO see the Kansas City Convention
| adopt just such a platform as Mr. Bryan
will dictate and nominate for the Vice
| President some man who is acceptable to
| the leader and thoroughly in accord with
| his views. It is simply out of the question
| for Democrats to nominate Bryan and then
| promulgate an old-fashioned Democratic
| platform With Bryan the nominee the
| PARTY must give him such platform as
! suits him and such a platform as he IS
| suited TO- The platform must fit the man,
| ana the man must fit the platform. That
| is the logic of the situation.

Discussing the timely topic of foreign
missions, the Southern Churchman says:
Our age is so much
THE TRUE SPIRIT given to judging
OF MISSIONS by what it is peas
ed to cali .'practi-
cal results what it can see and handle
and count and reckon in dollars and
cents. that we sadly need to have our
thoughts recalled to the purely spiritual
and only proper point of view. Whatever
the Church may do or is doing for the
social alienation of heathenism, and
blessed be God it is doing mighty things.
in that direction, this is not its great aim,
nor is it the standard by which is work
is to be judged. But the underlying ques-
ton is. whether it is preaching Jesus
Christ and Him crucitied, whether 1t is
telling a sin-sicl5 world of the Great Ply
sician whether it is telling an unclean
world of a fountain opened for sin and
uncleanness. This, after all! is the article
of a standing or falling foreign mission
work. If converts be many. II churches
be founded and be growing. if institutions
be flourshing and multiplying, If society
be regenerated and nations be enlighten-
ed we thank God and take courage. and
bless His holy name for His goodness to-
wards the children of men, But if none
of these results follow, it matters not so
far as our duty is concerned, for whether
men hear or whether they forbear, our
duty and our aim is always the same.

1t seems well-nigh inconceivable that
man with a Bible could report himself
as believing that a

STEERING. tiZed was punished
by God. To touch
child rudely arouses Indignation. The
notion that a little creature without
tongue taught to utter good or evil. With
out motive or act of harm, the most in
nocent thing ever seen, save the BABE OF
Bethlehem, by mortal eye. the mere sug-
gestion that even a demon had heart
black enough to torture it. is a hideous
image OF a mind in nightmare. And that
God. who took the babes to His bosom
and blessed them-that He would thrust
their souls into the burning abyss-what
monster it makes Him!
One of the cardinal principles of inter
probation Of the Scriptures ought to be
that any meaning coerced out of text
to represent God as inferior to man of
honor and humanity is an error. Better
burn up the Bible than to permit it to
picture Cruelty as omnipotent and on the
throne. There are two steadfast stars for
safe steering! The Judge of all the earth
will do right and the next: God is
love- He will not do an injustice. nor
will He do an act not inspired by deepest
solicitude for mentor each man. Work
out your theory of a theodicy, but be
sure it has lost its polarity, if it is not
guided by these fixed torches of truth IN
the heavens.-Christian Advocate.
