BRYAN AGAIN THREATENS.


1t Will be noticed that William }. Bry-

on loot TO elect MN as Il senator from
Nebraska lie informs the public that
he has no ambition TO go to the senate,

last lour words are addressed to the
democrats throughout the

a few weeks past reading him out of
the list OF NOMINATION possibilities.
Bryan words, as are quoted, taken
IN connection with tn" reported start

the deinocratlc party. There is good
reason to believe that he is to make
another attempt to get the nomination,
and, judging from the number of pre-
cedents which h" has broken in his
short career, there may be a chance
that he Will succeed in this endeavor.
lhere Is no doubt that he still has
some warm friends among his reCent
supporters. 1t is said hat chairman
Jones Is iavorabI" 10 giving another
chance to Bryan. There is talk. too,

while Altgeld, it is sal" to say, would
be glad to See Bryan put up again, SO

rather ominous import to the reorgan-

Oliver G. Harrington, curator of the
Field Columbian museum at Chicago,
has just completed experiments with
the rocky formations peculiar to the
famous caves Of Indiana which are
stated to prove the fsllacy of Usher's
chronology, based upon the fragment
airy and varied computations of the
dates in the Bible, placing the age of
the earth at only about 5000 years.
Mr.. Harrington says he believes that
animal life has existed on this planet
for at least 10000, 900 years, calculating
year at the length of time now recog.
nized, and probably for double that
length Of. time. These conclusions
were reached by estimating the period
required for the petrification of the
stalsctites, or limestone formations, in
the caves mentioned. In 1850 one of
these stalactites was cut and the in
crease since then has been carefully
measured, showing that about 85 years
are required for the formation of a Gu
bic Inch Of the substance.

viii History Repeat 1tseltY

WAL 6l0COTy GscpS6s As
During the campaign four years ago,
the democrats favored and the repub-
licans fiercely attacked the quantttative
theory of money; yet, before the lapse
Of year after the close of that mem
orable campaign, the republicans rec
ognized the truth of the principle for
which the democrats contended. They
recognized that times could not be
bettered until the circulating medium
Of the country was increased in volume.
And forthwith every power of the ad-
ministration was used to increase the
quantity Of every form of money used
by the people. Even the mints, which
the republicans helped Cleveland to
close, were again started to coming sil-
yer at the ratio of 16 to l, and many
Mihibns ii silver have been; coined in
this country during the past three years.
Foreign wars and the discovery of
great gold fields in Alaska have helped
to still further increase the country's
money supply. The republicans, by
needing the lesson which.the democrats
taught in 1895, were enabled to win al
the elections yesterday, notwithstand-
ing their abominable record on many
other subjects.
Now If the republicans will pay heed
to the anti-imperialism lesson, which
the democrats have just given ont, as
they did four years ago on the guam
titative theory of money, the country
will again profit by the efforts of the
defeated party. But, on the sother hand !,
If the republicans continue to tread in
the paths of tyranny, without reckoning
the tyrant's cost, the return of the dem
ecrats to power will be as certain IS the
return of the seasons. If the republicans
disregard the liberties and rights of a
weaker people, they will have to pay
the debt, for the God who reigned over
Babylon is the God who is reigning
yet.
