SAME OLD TEXT.
Editor Bryan Maintains That He Is
Still the Only DEM
Ocrat

In recent speech Mr.. Bryan indi-
Gated his desire that the democratic
party should in 1904 make the same
fight for principles that it did in 1896
and 1900. Which means, of course,
that Mr.. Bryan believes the only true
democratic principles were enunci-
ated in the Chicago platform on
which he stood when first he was a
candidate.
That is the sole trouble with Mr..
Bryan. He imagines that the his
tory of the democratic party prac-
tically began with his nomination for
the presidency five years ago; that
he became the personi6cation of
democracy; and that the principles
he advocated were the only ones
worth remembering or fighting for
In brief, he believes that he is all there
is to the democratic party, and that
as the expounder of the faith he is
infallible. That ought to make him
supremely happy and comfortable.
But other and older democrats
and the number of them is increas-
ing-do not agree with him. They
are inclined to think that the demo
cratic party amounted to something
before Mr.. Bryan was corn; that it
still amounted to something when he
was in political swaddling clothes
and what is more to the point, that
it can amount to something when
Bryan and Organism have been elm
mated from it.
This recent declaration of the ed
itor of the Commoner concerning the
principles of the platform of 1896
upon which the party was defeated
twice, only amounts to another evil
dence of the innate egotism of the
man and his complete satisfaction
with himself, no matter what others
may think of past and present lead
ers of the party.-Cleveland Lead4J

The numerous expeditions to the

that the game is fully as popular as

assume that they are fond of adven-
ture, and without doubt they are fond
of notoriety. Hence the money ex-
pended and the risks taken for pur-

A Pennsylvania doctor says that ap-
pendicitis, with which women were
until recently seldom afflicted, is now
almost as common among them as
among men. He ascribes this increase
of the disease among them to the use
of the bicycle, to golf and other out
door sports. What are the women to
do, poor things; First, they are tear
fully and prayerfully urged and inn
plored to engage in outdoor sports fer
the sake of their health; then they are
told that if they do so they will have
appendicitis. Life, as regulated by
doctors, has complications.

done by the judicial branch of the gov
eminent. All this is elementary, but
it appears that the members of the
Cuban convention did not understand
it.
The course for the Cubans is clear.
They must agree to the Platt statute
in its strict terms. There can be no
mental reservations or equivocations
on this point. Their official accept
ance must be so plain and so explicit
that there can be no possibility of
any hedging by them hereafter. That
they will meet the new situation in
the proper spirit is probable. The
necessities of the case have been
pointed out to them by the author
tiles at Washington in friendly way,
and they have been told that the
terms must be agreed to as they are
laid down in the statute. The con-
sequences of their rejection, or of
delay in their acceptance, can readily
be pointed out to the Cubans. The
American troops will remain in the
island until a government which will
meet American ideas is esta blished,
and this cannot be done until the re-
lations between Cuba and the United
States are agreed to by the Cubans
on the exact lines laid down in the
Platt proviso. 1t was the eXpecta
ton that Cuban republic would be
in operation by the end of 1901 at the
latest, but if there is to be any OBJ
structiveness on Cuba's part ibis out
come will be delayed. Proba bly, an
am;cab agreement will be reached
soon. At least this is the hope of all
Americans. Until this is effected,
however, the United States soldiers

times the deposit in those banks on
