the Christian citizenship of the Unit

and thralls, doing the will and serv-
ing the purpose Of corrupt and debase,
corrupting and debasing men?
No man will read this, whatever be
his shade of political opinion, who
would for a moment pretend that the
governmental policies which have
controlled the dominant political par.
ties in the years Immediately past,
have been such as belong to the realm
where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God That much is true
even when we consider national poll
tics. The acts of the federal govern
ment, whether under Democratic or
Republican administration. for the
last quarter of century. along scores
of lines, and especially in regard to
the liquor traffic, have not been such
as men who profess to be risen with
Christ" could willingly consent to be
partners in. Yet they have been done
in the name of Christian citizenship
and by the consent and with the ap-
proval of Christian voters.
If some free thinking preacher
should seize the Easter Sunday for
the proclamation of an assault upon
the doctrine of the resurrection and
should declare that Jesus did not rise
II would shock the Christian world
from end to end. A thousand such
sermons would make no difference
with the fact. but the failure of the
mass of the followers of Jesus to
rise in the most important sphere Of
life above the politics of the dollar
mark is a peril that menaces the very
perpetuity of the Christian religion.

BRYAN as a Party Boss.

Chicago Chronicle lDemD II is a
fact that the Chronicle has no dispo-
sition to censure nor even to criticize
William ]. Bryan for any portion or
his course which does not tend to-
ward another Democratic defeat with
him as the Democratic candidate for
president or debating the terms Of
the Democratic party. But the Chron-
icle criticizes and censures him for
assuming to dictate to the Democrat
ic party who shall he its leaders and
candidates in the future.
Recently Mr.. Bryan has been al
New York and Washington. perhaps
in other eastern political centers. At
these places he has taken it on him
self to declare that such Democrats
as David b. Hill and Arthur Z. Cor
man. of national fame and honored as
statesmen before he was voter, must
have no part in framing Democratic
policies nor in the nomination of Dem
ocratic candidates this year or in the
near future.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan is that
he thinks there was no Democratic
party nor Democrats previous to the
time when he became the Populistic.
Democratic candidate for president.
II is not seemly for Mr.. Bryan to say
in New York whom the Democrats Of
that state shall nominate for governor
or support for the Democratic presi.
dental nomination. II is not seemly
for him to proclaim at Washington
that ex-senator Goldman. now re.elect-
ed from Maryland to his old seat in
the senate, must not interfere in Dem
ocratic management during the COM
ing campaign.
Mr. Bryan has become a very un.
important factor in the management
and destinies of the Democratic party.
He should appreciate the fact.
