Strong pressure Is being brought to
bear upon Col. Bryan to induce him to
accept an entirely new issue for the
coming campaign inasmuch us the
silver question has Sn seriously divided
the Democratic party and. rs is urged,
the party can easily harmonizc on the
question of imperialism and put the
Republicans on the defensive from the
first. 1t is doubtful, however, il Col.
Bryan is in his proper element outside
the free silver struggle, forhcrc his re-
cord is clean and unnssailablc, but it is
pointed out that on Il platform con
tlclnninS the war and its causes, Col.
Bryan will himself be on the defensive
because Of his advocacy of the ratiiica-
ton Of the Paris Peace Treaty, to
which influence, it is alleged, the sue
cess OF the treaty in the Senate was
due. an.. that he as IL result was the in
direct cause Of the war. His record on
Imperialism certainly cannot be said to
be imprcgnable. and if til" party is
"hell-bent'' on nominating him. it
should bcstir itself t. get Il platform to
fit him, and not hazard Democratic
success by going before the people on
issues hOneyconbcd with fawning and
apologctic explanations. While Bryan
made brilliant campaign four years
igo, tie history of il will be rcmem-
bercd as losing, so that the shadow
defeat, which rests so heavily upon
him, would exert such tremendous
adverse influence in another election
that, from the present point of view,
his candidacy can only be viewed rs Il
distinct burden on the party which if
pushed to successful nomination in the
convention must inevitably end in
ignOminious defeat. If the party's
standard bearer must go down under
: the battle of the ballots, let him be n
true representative of the party, free
fronT Tpopulistic taint; such defeat will
be more welcome than inglorious vic
tory with straddlers, fusionists, and
the tlisaifcctcd sore toes and sore heads
rs rival and jealous allies.

The scatlinE arraignment by Repre-
sentative Richardson, of Tennessee. of

connection with the National City
Bank, OF New York, is Il credit to the
brilliant Tcnnessecan. lIis open, bold
and fearless expose of the tshy trans
action by which the favored govern

government got the "cah0Ots" was
ably planned and admirably executed.
He showed that from the sale of the
New York Custom House to the Ma
tional City Bank, S3,215.000 of the pur
chase price was paid to the govern
ment, which amount was deposited
with the same Bank free Of interest,
leaving cnly a5O,OOO unpaid in order to
prevent the title from passing to cvndc
taxation. The Bank, it is stated,
loaned this deposit ut enormous inter
est, which was its own business, but it
remains that the government received
not one cent of advantage from it,
nothing from the entire transaction in
fact bnt the privilege of paying $13G,-
600 per annum rent OH the property

campaign fund in 1896 which the Ma

succession Of political debt paying, so

The rOlnmcnuablc concern displayed
by the Legislature for good roads in
South Carolina is the best Indication
of good, old time, hard, common, horse
sense in that representative body of
Carolinians. The passage of the Bill
to give the preference in the hiring OF
cOnvicts to Counties for the building
of permanent public roads at $4,000 Il
year is Il scvcnlcague stride, and any
County that liz solicitous for it's own
welfare need not hesitate now to equip
itself with first class highways on ac-
count OF the expense. While the
scheme will be paying one to the
State, it will also save the Counties
much needless expense and greatly
facilitate the building of permanent
roads, by reason OF the easy ivailabili-
ty of labor. The other Bill. which has
passed the Senate. is the "brOad- tire
bill. which provides for the protection
of the States property. the roads,
from mutilation hy narrow buggy and

Previous information which has been

not more than dozen miles 1t seems
evident, therefore, that the armies
halted for time at Tung Chow. prob

the rear of the advancing hosts should

Possibly also that delay was the re-

Chinese officials looking to the delivery
Of the ministers with a Chinese or

army continued on its march and at
lacked the capital three days after
