lieve. He stood we'll among all who
knew him and was we'll respected.
Old age and its accompanying ailments

THERE has been a weak effort

THERE has been a weak effort to
make it appear that the success OF
Prohibition will resurrect the old drug
store abomination with the physicians
prescription attachment. There is not
an honest Prohibitionist in the state
who would not prefer direct return
to the old bar room system, and there
is not an intelligent man who does not
realize the fact. The slogan of Colonel
Hoyt, and those who uphold him
through conscientious principles, is:
"The dispensary is preferable to the
saloon and prohibition is preferable to
the dispensary." If prohibition gov

THERE is one thing certain and that
is that Mr.. Bryan makes no bid for the
return of those voters that went
against him in 1896 on the 16 to
question. AS we see it, 16 to is now
practically dead. 1t was right in 1896
und it is right now; but the difference
in the situation now and then is, that
while it was right in 1896 it was also
practicable; but now it is not practi'
cable. The currency bill passed dur
ing the last session of congress killed
all possibility of free coinage so long
as the senate remains Republican, and
that is a reasonable certainty for four
years more at least. Not only is this
new law clincher for the period in.
dicated; but it will give rise to addi'
tional complications after that time
Therefore, it seems that the issue could
have been allowed to drop without
improperly. Still there is nothing
surprising in Mr.. Bryan's insistence.
Mr.. Bryan yields nothing for political
expediency, and if he should be elect
ed president of the United States he
will use all the power of his position
to mould the country's financial sys'
tenn along the lines he laid down in
1896, and to which he has adhered
ever since.

bestow upon national banks the power
to issue and control the volume OF
paper money for their own benefit. A
permanent national bank currency,
secured by government bonds, must
have permanent debt to rest upon,
and if the bank currency is to increase
with population and business, the
debt must also increase. The Republi-
can currency statement is, therefore, a
statement for fastening upon the tax
payers a perpetual and growing debt
for the benefit of the banks. We are
opposed to this private corporation
paper circulated as money, but with.
out legal tender qualities, and demand
the retirement of the national bank
notes as fast as the government paper
or silver certificates can be substituted
for them.

liquor is wrong, whether engaged in
by the state or the individual, and they
do not propose to tolerate it in either.

The Washington Post sizes Mr..
Bryan up pretty correctly as follows
"He is the one Democrat alive who car
develop the party's utmost strength
this year. Not only do Democrats
give him their unreserved respect and
confidence; they now recognize his
absolute honesty and his magnificent,
answering courage. With him a:
the leader all is not harmony but
without him the Democratic party
would be an incoherent and heterogen
Gus mob. He does not, like Mr.. Nc
Kinley, appeal to the sentimental
side of men. He does not, again
like his distinguished antagonist, wir
personal affection. He is strenuous
dominant, compelling. He does moi
consult or seek advice or lean upor
another. He is captain, command
er, law unto himself"

only reason to hope that maybe the le.
cations are supplied with food and am
munition sufficient to last until help
arrives.
The idea that few thousand for
eigners could march from Taku to Pc
kin has been abandoned. No one now
believes that a less force than well
equipped army of $4,000 men could
make the journey at all, and there are
some who hold that it will require 100,-
900 men year. They claim, too, that
this army must be backed by heavy
reserves, to keep the way open behind.
1t has been considerations like
these that have induced Russia to con-
sent to allow Japan, the only nation
that is ready with sufficient army, to
take the lead in an invasion. The
powers have about agreed that Japan
shall rush her troops into China as
rapidly as possible, and that they will
back her up as best they can and as
fast as they can. The danger of a de.
feat at the outset is now realized by
all. The least success on the part OF
the Chinese is calculated to still fur.
ther encourage the uprising in the
south, and with the whole empire uni
ted against invasion there is reason to
fear that the task will be too great for
the combined powers.
The exact situation at Tien Tsin is
not known. A portion of the city was
taken by the International troops but
the Boxers and soldiers were not driven
away. The Internationals were too
weak to accomplish such task. Fight
ing continues necessarily. The river at
Taku is almost blocked with the float.
ing bodies of Cinnamon, and around
Tien Tsin the dogs have been feeding
on unburied dead.
The International governments have
agreed that there is no responsible
government at Pekin, and that, there
fore, war will not be declared against
the Chinese empire. 1t is preferred to
treat with each province that is capa
BILE of maintaining order as sovereign
state. In this way the governments
may avoid some of the many compli
cations that are looming up in theil
path.
From the dispatches and from the
explanations of Minister WI at Wash
ington, it appears that there is civil
war in Pekin. The Boxers and anti
foreign forces are under command o.
Prince Tuan, who is responsible fol
the attacks on foreigners. Prince
Ching stands for law and order, an6
against Prince Tuan.. The forces O.
each are about the same except thai
Prince Ching has control of all the
heavy artillery, and this fact has pre-
vented Prince Tuan from bombarding
the besieged foreigners in the consul
ates. 1t is said also that Prince Tuan's
forces have lost sight of the anti
foreign principle in the desire for loot
and that nearly all of the other Chi
nese forces in the city have taken the
defensive for the preservation of theil
property, regardless of their senti
ments toward the foreigners. The
statement that the empress is dead is
again denied, and it is now claimed
that she is exerting herself to harmon
ize the differences between Ching and
Tuan.
