cording to Bryan. There is very
much in that declaration of principles
which is not Clevelandism, but every
thing which is against the position
taken by the democracy in its two
recent national canvasses is classed
as in favor of the Cleveland conten-
ton. This helps to draw the line
sharp and clear between the two
elements of the democracy. Practi-
cally all of the reorganizers belong
to the Cleveland faction of their
party, and against this element Bryan
has pledged himself to make constant
and resolute war. Maryland's dem
ocratic convention has also lodged
the chief issue or the past two ma
tional campaigns, and incidentally
sidetracked Bryan, and the demo-
cratic chief will doubtless pay his re-
spects to German and the shutters
of his state at an early day. The
fight between the two wings Of the
democracy is on, and it will be waged
with vigor in state, congressional
and all other campaigns until after
the close of the canvass of 1004.-St.

COLUMBIA is CHOSEN.

Again Selected to Defend the
Americas Cup.

Newport, r. l.. Sept. 6.-The yacht
Columbia, champion of 1900, has been
chosen to race against the Shamrock
III. in defense of the Americas cup.
This decision was reached Thursday
after conference lasting two hours
between the members of the chal-
lenge committee. All the committee
were present. Commodore Lewis
Cass Ledyard presided.
The discussion was exhaustive.
The performances of the two boats
were gone over Systematically and
critically compared. The conclusion
was that the behavior of the Column
bia was far more consistent than
that of the Constitution and that in
the circumstances there was no al
tentative but to name her as the de-
fender of the cup. 1t was held that
while the decision might he disap-
pointing to the syndicate which owns
the Constitution. the committee were
compelled to choose the Columbia,
whose races have shown none of the
erratic form manifested by her rival.

BRYAN AND REoRGANIzERs.
Fight Between the Two wings Of the
Democracy Ii On I'm
Earnest.

In Ohio Bryan supports the ticket,
but spits upon the platform. 'Wheth-
er the Ohio democracy Is to take it's
position on the Grover Cleveland side
of public issues Is question yet to
be determined" says William j..
Bryan, "a question to be determined
at the primaries after the people
understand the issue presented" He
declares that the Ohio democrats do
not favor "a noncommittal, evasive
and ambiguous platform, such as the
democratic party promulgated when
the Wall street influences were in
control, and no one should assume
the existence of such sentiment with
out positive proof"
Bryan himself favors the Ohio DEM
ocratic ticket, and tells all his sup
porters to favor it, but he opposes
the platform because he believes that
it does not represent the views of the
democrats of Ohio. This reasoning
wi.i hardly be satisfactory to a ma
jority of his followers. The average
intelligent Bryanite, grasping the
fact that the same convention framed
the platform which put up the tick
ct, will oppose both. If the ticket
goes SO should the platform. If
the platform is to be hit the ticket
should not be spared This is the
view which large eiement of Bryan's
5,5O0,0OO supporters of 1896 and 1900
will take of the Ohio democratic
fight.
Clevelandism is the thing which
stands out in the Ohio platform, ac-

MATERIAL PROSPERITY.
The Vice President Warns the People
Against Forgetting Their
Higher Ideals.

The American people have been ac-
cused lately of forgetting their
higher ideals in the pursuit of mate
rial gain. Their politics is said to
have become commercial" Their
government is alleged to be domi-
mated by those who think it's chief
function is to afford opportunities
to make money. The power of that
social element of which Senator Han
ma is, perhaps, the most widely
known type is pointed to as proof
of these assertions.
OF course, only crazy idealists deny
that prosperity is the foundation of
civilization 1T is great thing"
as Theodore Roosevelt said in his
Springfield address, ito have mate
rial prosperity. 1t must be there so
that on 1t we can raise the super
structure of the finer life. The men
who bring business prosperity, who
give us the means to achieve civiliza-
ton, are the commemorative friends.
Remember the debt you owe them"
But remember" he continued,
"that the greatest debt you can owe
is to those who do you not material
but moral service-to the teachers,
the soldiers, the statesmen, the pub
lie servants" .Woe to u.s." he said,
again, 'if we have only material
prosperity. Woe to us If we see and
have only that ideal. Woe to us as a
nation If we ever permit our leading
men to be basel" rs

the American people as whole are
forgetting their higher ideals-are
ignoring their debt to those who do
them moral service? A little consid-
Grafton of their recent history-of
the thoughts that have. moved them
greatly-shows the unreality of that
fear.
That it would have been cheaper"
not to go to war with Spain and to
suffer Aguinaldo to work his will is
unquestionable. But the people saw
that their duty to themselves and to
the cause of real freedom demanded
that Spain be driven out and Aguinal-
do put down. And they gave their
lives and treasure without ever stop
ping to count the material cost.
Nor is the nation without leaders
to point out the middle way of san
ity and common sense between the
Scylla of gross materialism and the
Charybdis of impractical idealism.
Theodore Roosevelt points it out, and
his is no voice crying vainly in the
wilderness. And he is but one of
millions of men who, though less in
the public eye and mind, still see and
act upon the truth that he declares.
The heart and head of the Ameri-
can people arc sound. They sec and
know that material prosperity is the
indispensable foundation, and there
fore they seek it and safeguard it.
But none the less they know and
strive to erect upon that foundation
the edifice of fuller and finer life
