THE BRYAN PARTY.

1t is becoming apparent that the re-
publicans are to be opposed this year
not by democratic party but by Bry
al party. The old worm-eaten idea
that platform must be constructed by
the members of convention duly chos-
en-, and that the presidential candidate
must be selected by the same body, has
gone the way OF other played-out and
useless notions. Mr.. Bryan provides a
method of avoiding all the turmoil and
labor involved in getting up a conyen-
tion-made platform by announcing that
as he is going to get the nomination be
may rs well state the principles he and
his party are going to support. Accord
ingly he has promulgated complete
platform which will be pleasing in his
sight The delegates at Kansas City he
does not doubt will manfully come for
ward and adopt the same as just what
they would have said themselves. This
being the situation, what is the need of
the delegates ever meeting ut Kansas
City? 1t will be merely for the purpose
Of asserting to Bryan and endorsing the
principles he has scheduled, which could
be done quite easily by mail vote
The platform Mr. Bryan has just bull
letined endorses in its first sentence the
Chicago platform of 1896, and all Of it.
It calls for q constitutional amendment
authorizing an income tax and election
of e. S. senators by direct vote. 1t calls
for the initiative and referendum, and
opposes in familiar phrase government
by Injunction Curiously enough it
demands more liberal pensions. 1t de-
cides against the naturalization of the
Nicaraguan canal 1t says we de
mand an American financial system,
made by the American people for them
selves, to be secured by the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage Of gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of rs to I without waiting for
the ana or consent or any 0ther nation.
How fam liar this sounds And yet how
pathetic, because impotent. There are
the usual declarations against trusts and
militarism and the national
banks. The one real good thing in it is
the condemnation Of the proposed Porto
Rico tariff.
Mr. Bryan having thus delivered him
self there seems TO he nothing for demo
Gratis to do but follow in his train. Mr..
Bryan would doubtless deem it rank
treason for delegate in his convention
to propose any deviation from the line
he has so graciously and wisely pointed
ont.

MACHINERY isproving the Malthusian
theory Of population to be fallacious. A
hundred years ago Nautilus predicted
that the earth'S population was increas
ing faster than its produCtiveness, and
that unless the birth-rate should de-
crease there would be periodical world
famines in which hundreds Of thousands
would die of hunger Carroll II. Wright,
the statistician, in recent magazine
article shows that the total horse power
used in the United States in manufac-
turing is about 5000 600 As one horse
power is equivalent to the work of six
men this means that the power expend-
ed is that of 36, 900, 900 men. Only T. 476, =
SSl persons are actually employed, so
that the ratio of the two kinds Of power
is about ) tot. Accordingly our present
working population by the aid of ma
cblnery are expanding power enough to
support eight times their own number
according to the standards of century
ago. Az labor-saving machinery is con
stantly being invented there seems to be
no danger that population will overtake
production until the time comes when
the earths natural resources begin to
give out That time is so far in the fu-
ture that there is small need for MS to
worry over il.

IT IS generally conceded by both press
and pulpit that the Rev. c. NJ Sheldon's
attempt at editing Christ-like newspap-
er was failure Editors say his paper
gave no news, and ministers say it was
not reverential or religious His motives
may have been good but his acts We're
tainted with sensationalism The con
tinuance of the experiment for any length
of time would have probably wrecked
the paper financially and would have ac-
complished no substantial advance in

REPUBLICAN DISBURSEMENTS.

The present congress has undoubtedly
got the republican party seriously divid-
ed by its treatment Of some important
public questions Before congress mel
there was small revolt on the part Of
republican anti.expansionists like keed.
Hoar and Boutwell, Their views were
not popular and they alone could-not
have caused any serious detection. But
there are many republicans who APPROX
ed Of expansion and who do yet, but
who were and are strongly opposed to
"imperialism, that is to the exploita-
ton Of our new possessions by extra
constitutional methods Of government
They have felt until recently that much
of the talk Of imperialism was for mere
effect aud they had NJ fear that the
United States would nOtdeal fairly with
the islanders who had been taken over
from Spanish control Expresident Har
risop and Congressman Mccall and Lit
tlcfeld are types Of this class and 1t Is a
large one. These republicans have been
reused to strong opposition to proposed
methods Of dealing with our new pcs
sessions by the action Of congress III
Undertaking to erect Il tariff between
Porto Rico and the United States. Many
of them think it unconstitutional ana
all think it wrong And they have with
them the most influential portion OF the
republican press. Another thing that
has helped to divide the party is the
ship subsidy bill now pending, 1t has
become 80 well known that this Will
operage for the sole benefit of two or
three rich ship-owning corporations that
the congressional committee having the
bill in charge has not dared recommend
il, massage. The western members Of the
committee have been trying 10 amend 1t
out of shape and may succeed but the
struggle has already caused serious
rupture. The Hay Pauncefote treaty has
also caused disagreement not only among
republicans but among democrats; but
the former being the party IN power
must suffer most from the internal dis.
scnsion. The Quay case is a perplexing
matter If Quay should ultimately be-
seated in the face Of all the senate's prec-
edeuts the republican majority in that
body will have to take the responsibility.
Though Quay is a boss only in Pcnnsyl-
vania lac is 50 offensive boss that re-
publigans all over the country are anSi
Gus 10 see him permanently barred from
the senate
All these thing have stirred mp rcpuD
licaua 30 such m extent that unless con
gres- reloems itself rapidly the admin
i-tra'iun will be- unable in the coming
campaign to go before the people with a
united party behind it. If the Porto
Rico muddlc can be adjusted the largest
class Of disanccted republicans would
undoubtedly be reclaimed. But both
senators and representatives seem TO be
- firmly in the grasp Of protected inter

feel that the tOhfcco and sugar trusts
