PRESS ON BRYAN'S SPEECH.
DEMOCRATS.

Mr. Bryan's speech at Topeka in accep-
tancs or the Populist nomination for the
presidency was a model OF tact and good
sense. There was no attempt on the part
OF the candidate to represent himself as
a member of the party that had honored
him with its nomination. Frankly de-
claring that he was not a Papulist, Mr..
Bryan skilfully marshalled the points on
which Populists and Democrats thought
alike, and described the enemeies they
had in common. 1t had been said that
whatever he might say to Democratic
committee at Indianapolis about para
mount issues he could not help making
silver paramount before Populfst COM
mittee at Topeka. He proved that this
hope, or fear. as the case might be, was
groundless. He did not ignore the money
question at Topeka, but he made IL en-
tirely subordinate. Mr. Bryan found him
self I'm sympathy with the Populists not
only on the paramount issue Of imperial
ism, but on the hardly less momentous
issue of trusts He could appeal to them
TO help along the election OF sena tors by
the people--a reform whose accomplish
ment he predicted would come during his
term IL he should be elected. He found
Populists and Democrats i'm accord on the
subject of direct legislation, on the i'm
come tax. on arbitration, on labor ques-
tions and on opposition to government
The Free Silver Republicans are return
ing to the fold. In Colorado they have
formally deserted Mr.. Bryan. Stewart OF
Nevada has become one of the most eager
and outspoken advocates of Nc
Kinley. They are going home again I'm
flocks.
what Is the cause OF this movement?
The simple fact that the silver question
is not at issue I'm this campaign; that
Il really makes no difference. so far as
the standard OF the currency is concerned
whether Bryan or Mckinley is elected.
These men, OF whom Senator Stewart IN
type "scuttle" back TO the Republi-
can ranks because they see that they
can effect nothing for their especial fad
with the Democracy.
And what the Silver Republicans see,
all other intelligent men see. The "

front, with which the Republican mama
gers started out. has failed miserabiy al

The money question. he said. is still un-

REPUBLICANS.

If Mr.. Bryan's Indianapolis speech was
an evasion. his Topeka speech is an apol-
ogy--an apology lacking in either feeling
or grace.It Is a patent and labored at
tempt to gloss over the political embar-
easements into which he has fallen
through trying to swap issues in the Very
midst of a Presidential campaign. The
scattering, ineffective and altogether dis
piriting performance he has just given at
the Kansas capital should wrsn the
Democratic candidate that in applying
Orator Puff methods TO the conditions OF
his second canvass he has descended to
singularly inapt and vulnerable role
New York Tribune.
There is an interesting subsistence of
the hue and cry from Democratic sources
about "militarism." The phenomenon has
been coincidental with Bryan's long ST
Ience about China, and final confession
that the administration was doing the
right thing there. II "militarism" Is right
in China, as Mr.. Bryan admits. why IL IL
wrong In the Philippines?-Fall River
News.
But why does Mr.. Bryan find n neces-
sary to tell falsehoods about the Repub-
licans? lie says that they intend to retire
the greenbacks. IT is not true. ell says
the greenbacks. II is not true. He says
that they intend to perpetuate the ma
tional bank currency. The party has
never announced any such intention or
arvthine like IT, Mr. Bryan refers TO tho
currency act of last March as authority
for both of his assertions. That act con-
tains not one word which justihes them.
II he desires the respect OF the American
neopIe. he must stick to the truth.--New
York sun.
The address as a whole indicates that
Bryan stands where he stood in 1895 upon
every question except that OF expansion,
and upon that new issue he has taken the
| wrong position His address will obtain
| hut little attention compared with what
his former address received. for IL has

ODD AND ENDS.

The city dog catcher of Denver has no
funds for hiring an assistant and all of
his time Is consumed i'm dealing with dogs
whose owners want them humanely ex-
ecuted. The result is that people are taxi

Logansport. Ind, has been disturbed be-
cause so many of It's people spend their
holidays in other cities. The result is
that the business men have organized an
association for the purpose OF arranging
holiday celebrations which will keep the
people of the town at honN and also at
tract outsiders.
There are today but three bands OF
Seminoles left I'm Florida. So completely
have these people been disintegrated that
no tribal relations now exist between
them; they have no acknowledged chief,
and they recognize no. mans authority.
They number about 600.

The ostrich has long been laughed at
for pushing his head into the sand when
hunted. II is really far the wisest thing
the bird could do. for its long neck is by
far the most easily seen part of it, Its
body-plumage harmonizes perfectly with
the desert sand.
