Premier Balfour apparently has no
dread of a Liberallrish Nationalist CO
alition against him in parliament. His
100 majority is so big that even if the
other two parties were united and ag.
gressive there would be no immediate
in not having united Liberal party
to oppose him, and in not having a
Liberal chieftain to fight who com
mands the confidence of even the re
duced and discouraged couraged Lib.
eral party. For the present at least
Premier Balfour is master of the situa-
tion.

BRYAN.

And what about Bryan Will he
ever quit predicting? viii he still
banker for the Democratic nomination
for president? No telling Bryan is
queer proposition. The people do
not take him seriously, however, any
more. He will no longer be consider
ed a drawing card by Western Demo
cratic managers and he is not likely
to be carted around the country on
special trains in the future. His own
state repudiated him two years ago.
When in Durango last week he pre-
dicted Nebraska going fusion by sew
eral thousand majority, whereas it
has gone Republican by largely in
creased majorities. Two weeks ago
the Democratic leaders of Idaho, Utah
and Colorado on bended knees implor-
ed Bryan to make Il star campaigning
trip through their respective states.
This request was complied with. Ida
no was visited and all principal points
were given treat of his rhetoric and
false prophesies. Then he took in
Utah and the people flocked to hear
him in droves. Then came the
whirl-wind wind-up in Colorado. Start
ing from Grand Junction he made a
flying tour of the great and only San
Juan, and again people flocked to
hear him just like they flock to cir
Gus. Then the special carried the
spellbinder to Alamosa. thence
through the Arkansas valley to Lead
vile then back to Pueblo, Cripple
Creek and Denver and the same
crowds greeted him. but results indi
cate that those who listened to him
did so through curiosity and then went
and voted their own convictions and
against Bryans admonitions The
Herald gave a resume of Bryan's Du-
range talk. Not one word for the
American people. He put himself and
his judgment against the great major
ity of the intelligent men and women
of this nation and criticised every act
of administrations that have made
America prosperous. The people,
therefore. have come to regard him as
common scold, well meaning, but
misguided. And now the result. Ida
ho has gone overwhelmingly Republi-
can, being a regular landslide, the Re
publicans having over a two-thirds
majority of the legislature which
means a Republican successor to Heit-
field who was elected over Dubois,
who walked out of the St Louis con
vention and was afterwards traitor
ously defeated for reelection to the
senate. And Utah also elects a Re
publican governor and legislature as
against the admonitions of Bryan and
to cap the climax Colorado joins the
ranks of progressive states and will
be governed by Republican govern
or and other state officials and the
| q possible way the Democrats can
control the legislature is through
| fraud in Arapahoe county.
Thus we have Bryan influence dis
played to a greater extent than ever
before, but the influence is the kind
that Republicans hereafter will pray
for. 1t means that Republicans will
try and induce Democrats of Texas
and Arkansas to secure Bryan for the
next campaign. in which case those
states will be classed among the
doubtful.
We all admire William Jennings
BRYAN as a man but his doctrines are
not endorsed by the American people
an despecially his rantings in regard
to the Philippines.

America does not hang breathless on
the theories concerning it and the
progress Of its inhabiting peoples
slowly fusing into one as the years go
on which are entertained by the gen
eral run of sociologists; but some of
them may be worthy of passing atten-
ton. Prof. Varkandt says that If We
are going to rule the world a good
while, as Rome did. We must keep up
high standard of living and educa-
ton. and at the same time bring up
large families. The scheme is not a
bad one, but we are already carrying
1t out after fashion, the professors
countrymen helping us prodigiously so
far as the latter part of the proposi-

Carnegie's tribute to Gladstone is
fervid, but it is just. He was one of
the foremost men of his century,
though there are many persons in
England now who would reject that
judgment. Gladstone's concession to
the Beers nearly score of years ago
is often mentioned in his country to
his discredit, but posterity will say
that this was an act of statesmanship
which called for high degree of cour-
age, and which deserved better re-
ward than it received 1t would be
well for his party and his country If
the Grand Old Man" of twenty years
ago were at the front for a few years
in the present day.

The election of Franklin E. Brooks

Virginia's new constitution is said
to be highly successful. The test of

Some wonder why 1t is that Republi-
cans are pleased over the downfall of
Teller. We can explain. No one kick
ed at the senator walking out of the
st. Louis convention. but they kick be
cause, in order to curry favor with the
Democrats of this state, he went back
on his record as Republican. He
was honest in his silver views, no
doubt, at the same time he supported
Harrison in 1892 after declaring that
he was an unrelenting enemy of sill
yer, and after leaving the Republican
party in 1896 on account OF silver he
still maintained his Republican views
on other questions of Importance. 1t
was not until his term as senator was
nearing the end that he began hedging
and deriding the party that had done
SO much for him and his virulence In
creased from day to day until he fin.
ally stated in speech that he had
been a Democrat at heart during the
long years Of Republican Office hold.
ing This was what sickened the vo
tiers and made a great many Demo
Gratis tired Of him as well as Republi

The people of Wilmington like
other American citizens, desire to
get ut the bottom of everything.
They want to know the why's and
wherefores. When investigation
leads to the most positive proof it is
hard to dispute the evidence. Faith
born of experience and conviction,
should follow the evidence of people
we know. The testimony OF friends
and neighbofs can be easily proven
and vouched for. There are many
cases like the following all from
here at home and if the reader Is
still skeptic why not investigate
further, the way is open.

every action of the body and has
been a faithful guardian of the tax
