The Only AristOcracy.
Buffalo Express.

Evidently Mr.. Bryan is not SO much
afraid OF aristocrats as he pretends. The
truth is that the only saristocracy in Amer
lean politics was fostered by the demo-
cratic party and the relics of 1t still con-
stitute the principal element of democratic
power. 1t was the afistocracy which was
based on negro slavery. 1t tried to disrupt
the union in order to maintain itself. And
the remnant that remains Of 1t is still
working for the restriction Of the franchise
and is claiming and enjoying a representa-
tion in congress in which the vote Of one
Of It's specially favored citizens counts for
as much as four or FIVE ordinary men. II
Mr.. Bryan is going to weed aristocracy out
OF the democratic party, that is the element
for him to begin with. Yet he has stood
hand in glove with that element through
two campaigns.

Governor Savage. is now being impor-
tuned to select as members Of a new
police commission parties who can be
depended on to antagonize The Bee and
the majority Of the republican party Of
this city which for thirty years has
firmly supported Its course. 1t is not
claimed that those who advocate such
a course are inspired by a desire to fos-
ter harmony and bring about republican
success in this years campaign. No
body will blame the demo-pops for mani.
Testing deep interest as well as great
anxiety to foment diseord and encourage
fractional strife among the republicans,
That is good politics from the demo-pop
standpoint.

Getting Their Eyes Open.

That our British friends should be ap-
pointing commissions to find out why they
are losing trade and how they can regain

getting their eyes open to the fact that
something is wrong with them and that It
behooves them to wake up and get a move

A BOLD Def.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
Tell us not in mournful numbers
That the price of meat Is high:
Tell US not twill keep on climbing
Till we can't afford to buy.
For the watermelon season
Has advanced TO u relief,
And our noses we're upturning
At the choicest cuts of beef.
Who has appetite so sordid
That It yeafns for oas or steak
When a chunk OF watermelon
Is so mighty nice TO take2
Who has such a vicious palate
That for gravy II has use
When there's such a soothing liquid
As the watermelon's juice?.
Watermelons! Why. the mention
OF the sweet n pulpy fruit
Is enough to make mouths water
All along the eating route.
And the fond anticipation
Meier is followed by regret,
Fol partakers of the melon
Say that it's the greatest yet.
When the days are hot and humid
What a Joy IL is to gaze
On the slice of watermelon
That is Don to win its praisel
How much greater Is the pleasure,
Be the weather e'er 50 hot,
When the edible so luscious
Disappears and hits h spotl
Red and pulpy, sweet and juicy,
What a feast the melon makes,
Throwing far into the background
All the choicest oas n steaks!
And when in the luscious melon
Eaters faces are immersed
They unite In this defiance:
Let the beef trust do It's worst.

Keeping 10 to 1 Green.

Springfield CMass.) Republican.
The dubious distinction Of singing out
the 16 to 1 plank of the Kansas City plat
form for special Endorsement has been re-
served for the democrats Of Missouri. In
this strange performance they are at least
true to the memory Of the late Mr.. Bland
and it may further appear that the indorse-
ment is due to former Governor Stones
desire to succeed Senator Vest In the
United States senate. Presumably no dem
ocrat could hope to enter the senate from
Missouri who was not true to the monetary
principles still embraced by the rural de-
mocracy of that commonwealth. If there
are many men in the south who still be-
lieve in African slavery-and Editor Wat
terson says that there are-it may be
premature to expect the heart of the Mis-
souri, democracy to grow cold toward the
sacred ratio SO soon after the great de-
feats which It has sustained in national
politics.

Colonel Bryan in the backwoods Of
Maine says he denounees the doctrine
that a nation or a man can go so far
as to be unable to retrace the step. In
this he has special reference to the
American policy in the Philippines
forced on US by the peace treaty which
was ratified only by the active efforts
of Mr.. Bryan himself In its behalf Nth
democratic and popullst senators with
out whose votes the islands could not
have been annexed. The trouble is
that the step taken when this treaty was
ratified cannot be retraced any more
than the election Of 1896 can now be
reversed. Our Philippine policy of
course could be changed, but it could
be changed only so far as conditions
permit and present conditions will not
permit any radical change.

hours, as our always excellent roads are
now in prime condition, and we hear that
no accident occurred; but owing to the
billy and narrow roads leading to and
through their fine farm these gentle
men found the run from Woodville to the
river not "rapid transit experience after
all. There too many halts were called,
owing to the frightened country horses"
dashing past, thinking doubtless that
their days of usefulness were over. Some
