Bryan has led us 70 defeat twice. and
now we must get somebody else who
can bring us victory. The champions
of the gold standard are deridinz Bry-
an, denouncing the principles for which

vention, in order to nominate some

certain that they will. the work that
was done in 1895 viii have 10 be done

cratic party. as such, thereafter Will
cease to he factor in American poll
tics. shall We assist them in this
work? If the Democratic party was
right in 1895 and 1000 upon the money
question. and that question is not set
tied. then why should that party in
Ohio abandon II in 1901? If the conten-
tion was right during those cam
paigns, it is right now. If politics Is
to be carried on for the purpose Of
securing office alone, then why bother
about great principles that involve the
well-being of men?"
These are logical and timely ques-
tions. The Democratic orators and
press gave the most solemn assurances
in both 1896 and 1900 that the. restora-
tion of free silver coinage was a mat
ter involving the highest principle;
that it was proposed as a remedy for
outrage and injustice. whereby the shy
locks of the land were grinding the
faces of the poor and taking from the
common people the birthrghts of
American citizenship. They either
meant these assertions or they didn't
mean them. If they meant them. it
would be cowardly in 1901 and in 1904
to compound a gold bug felony or to
desert the poo? of the land to their
grinding doom. If they didn't mean
them. what assurance have we that
they mean what they say now?
Until these questions are satisfactor-
lily answered, the Democratic party is
likely to have an unprofitable quest for
office.

with the Republican insurgents, has
been sounding the accusation that the
men In control of the Democratic or

been that the Democratic strength in
Philadelphia was divided and as a
minority party 1t offered no check

The Philadelphia Tribune is a publi- cation. not conspicupus. that appears

The Philadelphia Tribune is a publi- cation, not conspicuous that appears
 once week. II is EXAMPLES edited by colored men in OF NEGRO the interest of the col- PROGRESS. ored race It's last issue
 contains three items of news that merit attention from a larger audience than is commanded probably. by this estimable peridical. It records that Samuel IT. Golden, a waiter in a Pittsburg hotel, has just retired at the age of S1, with fortune of slOO.OOO, that he has saved from his wages and tips James O. Holmes and his wife were married twenty years ago. They have both been in domestic service since that time and their joint estate Is valued at s150, 900. Louisa Graham, slave in Louisiana be- fore the war, died leaving to her old mistress her fortune of sl2.OOO.
 These three bits of news. published in a single local paper, are cheering indi- cations that the colorei citizen is grow ing more and more into a fair way of settling for himself the much discussed | race problem. If three such statements can be published in one week that may be accepted as an indication that there are hundreds, or thousands, of similar examples of thrift and industry seat tered among the colored population throughout the country. It Is such cases of individual development that afford most encouragement to th6se whether white or of mixed blood, who study and work for the elevation of the colored race. It Is to the stimulus and multiplication of similar instances that the scheme of industrial education ad- vocated by Booker T. Washington is addressed.
 It Is worth noting that the president has just promoted a colored soldier. Corporal John F.. Green. to be second lieutenant in the Twenty-fourth infan- try. This appointment was made strictly on it's merits. Only few years ago it would have caused much com ment. That it now passes almost un- noticed, as a matter of right and of course. is another evidence of friendly public sentiment toward the colored man. whose individual devel- opment overleaps old prejudices.
