earIdom Lord Roberts active
public career may be considered
closed. From the point of view
of the soldier it has been an
extraordinary career, and 10 one
will begrudge the veteran his
honors, even though England's
work in South Africa has not been
completed. Before attaining his
majority he was in active service
and the record of his achievements
includes ard"rous fighting both in
the Indian mutiny and ia the
Afghan war, when he made his
unprecedented march from Kabul
to Kandahar. On the whole, his
operations in South Africa, where
he took hold just at q time When
the foremost British generals had
been making disastrous b]unders,
have been of kind to sustain his
reputation.

reputation

REPUBLICAN papers are very
kind to the Democrats and are
burying Bryan for them in such
manner that he is sure to rise
again. 1t is Cleveland says this;
Whitney says that Dickenson says
something else All of whom
have been fighting the Democratic
party for the past two presidential
elections, thus Aminently fitting
themselves for debating the course
of the party. By their actions
they endorse the policy of the
administration. If the Mckinley
policy is right why attempt t."
build up-a party to defeat it? If
they do not believe il the McKin-
ley policy, then they allowed their
personal feeling against Bryan to
overweight their loyalty to princi-
pie. A rule or ruin policy, un
patriotic and una nerican. The
Republican organs we'll know such
leadership, arbitrarily assumed
would result in the most crushing
defeat Democracy has ever known.
This is the secret of their per-
sistent circulation of rumors to the
effect that the Cleveland element
will assume control. Those WHO
figure Bryan as no longer factor
in Dem, cracy, reckon without
their host. He is the one strong
man in the party and can direct its
course If he desires so to do. It
is safe to say that when the new
alignment is made for the cam
paign of 1904 the principles he adj
vocates will be prominent, proba-
bly, not particularly the financial
feature, but that even is question
which the developments of the
next four years may bring to the
front or force into retirement. 1t
is gratifying to see occasionally,
in obscure corners of the dailies,
denials from the Clevelandites of
statements accredited to them.
They would be welcome additions
to democracy, but only as Demo-
Gratis, not as dictaters. Their
views and opinions are only en-
titled to consideration when they
are willing to accept the will of the
majority and their decisions COM
ing as al ultimatum should and
probably would have no weight.

GIVES FARMERS A CHANCE.

Senator Allan of Nebraska has
introduced an amendment to the
commerce bill, providing for a
government bounty on agricul-
tural exports, and for an addition
al bounty on exports made in
American ships. The export
bounties proposed are wheat or
rye, 1O cents per bushel; four 80
cents per barrel;' corn, 5 cents per
bushel; corn meal Z cents per
busbel; cotton l cent per pound;
hops, 2 csnts per pound; tobacco,
2 cents pei pound. Then for any
of these products exported in
America bottoms, the correspond
ing bounty is increased 10 per
cent. Last years exports of flour
amounted to 100000 barrels, of
wheat 139,OoO,0O0 bushels, and Of
corn l74,000,o00; These three
items alone, providing they did
not receive the extra bounty for
shipping in American vessels,
would require a bounty from the
government to til. amount
1871, 100000. However, none need
have care as to that for there is
no canger of any bounties being
given the agriculturist. Neither
is Senator Allan DESTROYS that
there shall be; but he is having 40
little fun in compelling the men,
bers who favor subsidies to
millionaire ship companies to
explain why those are more
worthy of financial help from the
government than the men who
produce the bread and meat and
fruit of the world. Mr.. Allen
evidently thinks that if bounty is
a good thing, it should be passed
around SO that everybody can
share in its blessings.
