Kept on capitalists, who are evidently
held to be not only very timid but very
foolish person. since they are cxpectcd
to exhibit all of the old-tme symptoms
of fright at this dread bugaboo.
This time 1t les not the Eastern press
that has torn its hair and let out the
old familiar whoop. The first long
drawn bray comes from the far land of
the sportive salmon and the stranded
Klondike gold seeker. Thus the Port
land Oregonian declares that Mr..
Bryan in his Western tour has appealed
chiefly to every man that has failed .
every man that is disconnected: every
man that thinks he has not quite got
his share" Then the Oregonian throws
batch of lusty and vociferous fits.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press. not to be
outdone. declares that MIR. Bryan
"Devotes the larger portion of his ad-
dresses to the sowing of seed such as
produced the Panis commune and the
Chicago riots-of an anarchlstic social
ism such as menaccs order and civil
cation wherever they exist"
Now all this is very naughty of Mr..
Bryan. ii he is doing it, But no man
of even rudimentary intelligence will
believe he is doing any such thing.

lent opportunity to judge OF Mr. Bryan

evils that such policies have always
brought to other nations Is not appar-
ent.
1t Is noteworthy that the condemna-
ton OF Mr.. McKinlcy's radical depart
ure from the traditional policy of this
government has not come merely from
his political opponents. 1t has not
been the outcry of sheer alarmists. 1t
has been voiced by the ablest and most
conservative citizens of the country. by
men of the same political faith as Mr..
Mckinley and by none more inslstently
than by some of his warm personal
friends.
To make history Is one thing; to see
with Its eyes Is quite another. We are
making history now, and at a terrific
rate. We are making what has always
been. In the case OF other nations,
wrong history. This is the deliberate
judgment OF n vast majority OF intel
lgent Americans. Mr.. Mckinley has
had to meet emergencies; they believe
he has met them in the wrong way.
This is not the verdict of history, but 1t
is a significant and terrible indlct-
ment OF the present administration. 1t
Is such an indictment as has been
brought against no previous admins
tration during the existence OF the re-
public.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL Is. 1900.
NOW FOR THE COUNCILS.

The first days primary for salaried
officers Is over. and much interest has
been displayed. The vote Is the largest
ever polled at a primary. being 5,514.
1t is impossible ut this hour to form
an idea of the outcome and announce
the winners, although most diligent eff
fort was being made last night to as
certain the result.
The largest vote was polled in the
Fifth Ward, followed closely by the
Third and First Wards in the order
named.
The primary passed off quietly, with
the exception of difficulty In the
Fourth Ward. The greatest activity
prevailed al all the precincts and a
full vote was polled.
Let us now proceed to arrange for
n Council primary. We have never
had any fears of a full vote for choice
of Office holders, but it will take work
to bring out the representative citizens
to the Council primary. With the per-
sonality OF the candidate eliminated,
much interest Is lost. The Councils are
the legislative body, and the real
power for good or evil. Persons de-
string good government cannot do bet
ter service for the city than to urge
a full vote on the day Of the Council
primary, as we'll as inducing good men
to stand for election to the Council.
