HITTING BACK AT BRYAN.

MT. Bryan's Commoner--which, by the way grows commoner each week-must needs have a shy at the Indiana Demo- crats because they fought the late cam paign on living Democratic issues. and lost. MT. Bryan, as is usual with him. condemns them for failing to stand on the Kansas City platform, and tells them they must take their stand on the na- tional platform of the party and try to earn a victory by deserving it."
 This sort of criticism is too much for The Indianapolis Sentinel. formerly strong Bryan and free silver paper. It resents the intimation that the Demo- erats of Indiana did not do their duty or deserve victory. and thus talks back at the would-be boss:
 It is difficult to take MT Bryan serious ly when he talks this way. Does he mean to be understood that the Democrats Of Indiana who in the recent campaign joined issue squarely with the Repuoif- can party on every living issue were not fighting for principle? Does he mean that when they demanded heroic treat ment of the trust problem. the extension of the constitutional guarantees to every person under American Jurisdiction, the revision of the tariff in the interest of the people. the election of United States Senators by the people, and other we'll established Democratic policies, they were sacrificing everything for victory? The fact is that no sounder or bolder platform none more thoroughly Demo- cratic. was ever made by the party in any State than that on which the Demo- crats of Indiana recently went down to defeat. They went against overwhelming odds and they were beaten, but they made a manly fight for living Democratic prin- ciples. and it is not generous in the man whom they supported faithfully in two unfortunate campaigns-tens of thousands of them only because of their intense par,y loyalty-to bring against them now the utterly unmerited reproach that they sacrificed principle to win success at the rscen- election. There are no better Dem oorats anywhere than the rank and file in Indiana. none who have fought better fights or made greater sacrifices in the past for the principles of genuine Democ- racy. If they are not in the majority they are, what is much better in the rt0hf

The Child Labor Law.

We do not believe that there will be any serious opposition to a child labor law in our next Legislature. Like most of the true reforms the people have been led up to the issue by human and con vincing steps and the wise mill man will not raise his voice in opposition,-Mob obile Item.
 We expect to see serious opposition to any legislation on the subject, but while we do not favor anything revolutionary or extreme, which might defeat its own objects, we certainly expect to see Leg islature which will not be influenced against such legislation as is both needed and demanded.

SOME COMMENTS IN PASSING
Bad Politics.

The voters of Alabama are not changing their politics because they did not vote. They simply did not think their votes were needed, and this time they were not, Birmingham Ledger.
 And that is the very worst kind of pol itics. If A thinks his vote Is not needed, B. and C. may feel the same way, and the result would be the defeat of the ticket, though all of them favored 1t. The right way to look at it is to think that all the votes will be needed and that it is the duty of every qualified voter to Vote

A Supposition.

Cleveland took time to make one speech near New York and 1t caused the Repub- lican majority to be red Lced from l3O,OOC down to l0,OOO. Now suppose he had made about two speeches in New York. Why we believe the Democrats would have carried the State by about 100000. Cleve- land is a power.-Ozark Tribune.
 Possibly The Tribune is too enthusiastic, but if MT Cleveland's advice had been asked and followed in the convention, and his assistance secured for the ticket there is little room to doubt that Coler would have been elected.

The French courts are having a whole lot of trouble over question of natural history which might be expressed in the interrogatory, Are frogs fishes?" It all comes out of the arrest and trial of two Frenchmen on the charge of fishing on private property, or on property which was not open to the public. They proved before the magistrate that they were frogging. not fishing. and were dis charged. Then they were brought before a court of appeals with the same result, and now it is proposed to let the court of cessation have a try at 1t. What that court will do remains to be seen, but we presume 1t will call on the experts to settle It.

EASILY FRIGHTENED.

That Manhattan Bridge scheme must be bad
indeed when those who defend it are driven TO
personal abuse at the mere mention of investi-
CATION into the comparative merits of bridges
and tunnels. Frightened at the proposition to
give Brooklyn a series OF tunnels in three years
instead of the bridge first in seven, they have
induced The Brooklyn Eagle" to attack the
honesty and good faith of The Tribune. This
is hardly the attitude toward The Tribune's
motives and position which we should have
expected from good friend as THE Eagle;
hut In view of the pressure from local interests
TO which il is now. 10 doubt. subjected, we
are not disposed to take its expressions too
seriously. Doubtless Mr. Alexander f. Orr,
president of the Rapid Transit Commission will
be equally charitable over the insinuaton that
he and his colleagues are trying to betray the
interests of the borough of which he is one Of
the most public spirited citizens So. doubtless

Brooklyn who have thought II wicked to waste
So, 100000 of the city's money. If the same ac-
cOmmodation can be secured in less time with
the expenditure of half that sum. Inexperienced
advocates often believe that those with whom
they do not happen to agree are deep dyed
villains. We will let that pass. The one thing
indeed, in the attack on The Tribune the Mayor
and the Rapid Transit Commission inserted in
"The Eagle which requires attention is the
following:
The third bridge has been sanctioned by law.
ordered by authority. in part provided for by
expenditure and initiated by actual work The
promise OF II has been made TO the people in the
most solemn and practical way. In consequence
of that promise, large investments have been
effected and tremendous improvements pro-
jected.
Just what are those investments? Who has
bought land on the line OF that tremendously
long approach TO reap a handsome profit by
selling 10 the city? How many spectators did
the Tammany administration take into It's con
fidence when planning the bridge? Inasmuch
as the tunnel already under way will reach
exactly the same point as the projected bridge

hood will suffer from n change Of plan. If
other tunnels are built giving transit facilities

ST. PIERRES APPALLING FATE.

The earlier reports of the destruction of the
city of St Pierre are now fully confirmed and
there is no longer ary reason TO doubt that the
island Of Martinique has witnessed calamity
that is almost without parallel in modern times.
The only we'll attested loss of life from vol
canic eruption which exceeds that wrought by
Mount Pelee this week is that which followed
the explosion OF KrakatOa, in the strait be-
tween Java and Sumatra, in 1883. At that
time upward of thirty-six thousand people
were killed, fully twenty-five thousand of them
being drowned by a tidal wave. That East
Indian catastrophe. indeed, while IL NAV not
have been attended with a greater mortality
than the burial of Pompeii and Herculaneum,
was more startling exhibition of violence
The little islet on which the volcano stood was
completely wrecked, and the sound was heard
more than two thousand miles away. Until
fuller details are received from Martinique il
is impossible TO say precisely what happened
there last Tuesday. Something almost equally
abrupt must have occurred though to Justify
the statement that there was fall of fire suf-
ncient TO destroy the city, at particular hour
No shower OF ashes or torrent of lava could
well have operated so suddenly
When a volcanic outbreak occurs immediately
after or at the same time with an earthauake
and the two phenomena are observed within a
few hundred miles OF each other there is rea-
son 20 think that a close relation exists between
them. Such an inference concerning the distur-
bances recently reported I'm the Antilles and
Guatemala, however, is not well warranted
They were separated from one another by a
distance Of one thousand eight hundred miles
and period of time scarcely less than three
weeks. The assuring of Mount Pelee was prob
ably NOT caused by a subsistence OF the earth's
crust along some old aud hidden crack, but by
the pressure Of steam and lava against a long
sealed vent. Under the latter circumstances ex-
