The possibility of Mr.. Bryan retir-
ing is thus discussed by John Maggie,
in The Manitowoc Pilot:
"What a harbinger of success this
would be to the Democratic party,
which now nourishes his ambition at
the cost of certain defeat! A physi-
clan will not prescribe for himself
when In need of medical treatment, as
he knows his diseased condition dis
qualities him for the exercise OF cool
Judgment. But the politician with
consuming ambition will accept no
advice unless 1t harmoniZes with his
purpose.
"Bryan and what he represents arc
solecisms among the living questions
of the day. Democrats generally
recognize this, though with some IL IL
more In the nature OF an impression
than recognized conviction. Bryan
is dimly conscious OF It,, but fancics
that the ardor with which he will sup
port new issues, will bring forgetful-
ness OF the ambush into which he led
the Democratic party In 1906. He Is
without positive policy today, nn-
less criticism Of existing conditions
may be called one. He Is determined
to dictate the course of the party, and
men who question his Judgment and
who could lessen his authority, acqui-
esce In his dictation because OF four
years OF subservicnce.
"One need not be close observer
to notice the decided change of senti-
ment regarding Mr.. Bryan among
Democrats in this state. True, it has
not found expression In words. But
silence has given IL unsyllablcd utter
ance, and no Interpreter IL needed to
declare It's meaning.
"This declaration coming from u
gold democratic paper, II noticed at
all, will provoke wordy protest. But
Democratic editors throughout Wis
consin feel that the party IL handi-
capped by the asccndancy OF Bryan.
II the sober, serious sense Of the
democrats OF the state would govern,
Mr.. Bryan would not have the Wis
consin delegations, because they
know his nomination would be step
toward disaster. Their support OF
him was always more u matter of SEN
timcnt than action based on convic-
ton, and sentiment " always dissi-
pated unless IL can Withstand rcllcc-
tion.
cit IL high time that democrats put
aside enthusiasm and lot reason gov
ern for " season, and be IL guide for
future enthusiasm. The next Demo-
cratic convention should be dclibcr-
alive body, determined to do what
is best for the party, and not u gath
ering for the purpose of giving an
ovation. Tho democrats can win next
fall II wisdom guides their course In
the preliminary steps"
The hope OF democracy lies In rea-
son asserting itself In the party coun-
ellis; and there are signs which indi-
cate u tendency In this direction. II
the regular democrats are, of their
own accord, getting back to right
Judgment In matters political, 1t Is
wise, ~ suggested 10y Mr., Maggie, for
gold democratic newspapers to re-
frain from provoking them to wrath
and disturbing the right current OF
democratic thought, by any nnnoees-
declarations or advice. The financial
question IL no longer the paramount
issue In American politics, and 1t
to be hoped that the leaders OF the
the democratic party will quietly ac-
cept the situation.

POST AND CORPS INSTALLATION.


In addition to the impressive GER
emonies, addresses, fraternal and
social greeting and a banquet, were
notable features of the joint installa-
tion party Of the Corps and Post, on
last Friday night.
The program was we'll arranged,
and carried out to the letter. The law
had It's representative in Mr.. f.. G.
Fielder, the city Mayor Spensley, and
the Gospel in the ministers present.
These all responded to the calls for
short addresses. The music was fur
nished by well known musicians OF
our city, and was highly appreciated
The banquet followed in due course,
1t Is needless to say that 1t was In
good taste (no pun and form. The
corps had it in charge. OF these
ladies we wish to emphasize their com
mcndation by Mayor Spensley, in the
help they had been to him, as Mayor,
in the relief Of the poor. While in
these days organized charities are
necessary the distinguishing feature
about the Corps is that it's organized
life Is lost in it's practical charity, and
the recipients are made TO feel that it
Is friend that comes to them in their
distress. Further, we would like to
repeat here what one OF the speakers
said who spoke about the self sacri-
hcing work which Is always repre-
scented In the best and highest types
of womankind. No nobler on the face
OF the earth are found than those who
constitute the corps They carry the
light of that sacrifice into the dark
and sad conditions OF life. In the
civil and late war, what light broke
on the soldiers, sick and dying, In
the hospital by their presence, as
nurses or representatives OF the Chris
tian commission. or the soldiers Mr..
Fielder said, no better were to be
found In all the world, and in the
gray old veteran, he POLITICALLY re-
marked, we see the real and living
picture Of Bull Run and other battles.

4 TINE FOR EACcINATION.

The Health Department Of New-York has a
broad opportunity in the last month of the year
to earn the gratitude of every citizen. From
that plague spot OF infection in the negro colony
near the North River. in the midst OF the All
Nations" block, among the upper Sixties of the
West Side, the smallpox virus has been dihused
TO an extent which should pat President Murphy
and his associates on the jump. There Is no
cause for panic, hut New-YOrkers generally
should make mp their minds that reasonable
precautions ought not 70 be neglected. 1t can
not be disputed that the poison Of this loath-
some disease has been scattered to considerable
distances from its original nursery. Wherever
the least danger of exposure TO contagion may
be suspected the prudent course is to seek vacci-
nation promptly. Even when the percentage Of
risk is comparatively slight is it not the part of
caution and common sense TO avoid the posi-
bility OF danger?
The characterization faddists and fanatics
have lost influence in recent years They never
had a basis of reason for their contentious.
The evidence in favor of the benefits of vacci-
nation is so strong and so thoroughly fortified
by the conclusions of the ablest physicians that
it is inexcusable for intelligent men anu women
TO reject it. Until vaccination came into exten-
sive use the ravages of smallpox were appal-
ing Vaccination Is the main cause of general
immunity at the present time. The people of
New-York should not lose their heads. But it is
just the emergency which should appeal 10 them
to consult their family doctors and to be vac
cnated. Then they will be practically safe
against alarms
