QUITE ENOUGH OF BRYAN"

of William Jennings Bryan-the writer
was one of them in the campaigns of
1896 and Iooo-ttat the Nebraskan has
developed into political marpot and
nuisance, of whom the country is grow
ing awfu1ly tired. The Bryan of today is
not the Bryan of eight years ago. Then
he was man of gentle temper and per-
feet self-possession, but having been
beaten in two presidential elections he
has become a man with grievance and
an insatiate appetite for revenge He be-
lieves, or pretends to believe, that every
man who did not blindly follow his
financial theory should be driven out of
the Democratic party, especially Grover
Cleveland, and those closely associated
with the ex-president"
"As we have already remarked, the
Democratic party is getting tired of Mr..
Bryan and his deliberate mischief max
ing. and it is to be hoped that when the
next Democratic National Convention is
held he will be dumped overheard and
given an opportunity to Organize party
for his exclusive use 1t is as certain as
anything can be that the Democratic
party has quite enough of Mr. Bryan,
that its exclusive Use by him is no long
er possible. He is now engaged in max
ing trouble for the Democracy that has
twice honored him, bat in the end we are
quite sure the trouble will r0ost at his
own doors The Bryan party Of 1904 will
neither be formidable nor frightening. -
New Orleans States.
QUITE ENOUGH OF CLEVELAND
In the same time and temper, as indi-
Gated by the excerpts from the New Or
leans, we may say that it is quite evident
lion and more Of Democrats who op~.
posed the Cleveland Mckinley combine
and were steadfast to Bryan and the
platform Of the party, are getting tired
of Mr.. Cleveland, and it is about time he
was being dumped overheard. The great
body of Democrats who fought for Bry-
ar and Democratic principles when
Cleveland su1ked and indirectly if not
directly aided and Allotted in the Site
cess of Mckinley, have no confidence in
Cleveland and who will oppose his lead
ership of the party. We do not think it to
be good policy to belittlc Mr.. Bryan or
to strive to place him in a false attitude.
| Any and every such attempt will only in
cite retaliatory feeling towards Mr.
Cleveland and the others who, with him,
| deserted the Democracy in the hour of
need, during the progress of the battle
| against Mckinleyism when Democracy
| had the right to expect the loyal support
of every man who claimed allegiance to
the party It is not true that Bryan is
engaged in making trouble for the
! Democracy, etc. He is simply directing
his influence to restrain and defeat the
Cleveland combines which would control
the party. and in the same spirit we may
assert that the Cleveland party of 1904
will neither be formidable nor frighten-
| ing" The Democrats, the six millions
and more who were loyal to Bryan and
the principles Of Democracy, have quite

He Wasn't On Fire.

Many amusing incidents have ccur-
red since the installation of the cleo
tric street railway in this city, but
perhaps none so funny as one which
happened on the beautiful compart-
ment car Tom Ross" some ten days
ago.
The novelty of being sped along up
the valley as swift and easy as the
fight of a bird was being taken al
vantage Of by an unsophisticatcd
westerner one cold, rainy day last
week, and to be more secure from
the cold fog he entered the closed END
of the car and took his seat. He had
been seated probably a half minute,
just long enough to get out his tobacco
and roll a cigarette when Conductor
Gill noticed him feeling of the seat
as if he had lost something. He felt
along the seat. felt of his match peck
ct, stood up and rubbed himself under
the coat tail, looked around to see if
anyone else had noticed him and
frantically beckoned the conductor.
Look here, conductor" said he when
that individual entered. you better
stop the car darn quick, there's some
thing on fire. sure"
1t was the electric radiator giving
out its cheerful glow, and the I'M
sophisticated individual thought he
had discovered a hot box.

LAS VEGAS ISLAND.
BRIDGES BOTH NORTH AND
SOUTH WASHED OUT
ALL STREAMS HIGH.
Eighteen-lnch Rise in the Rio Grande
Last Night-Strenuous and Success
fuI Work on Alameda Dyke.

A big gang has been working all day
on the temporary bridge installed in
Pecos arroyo after the iron railway
bridge has been taken out. The Ger
ter cribs were washed away by the
high water of last night. Word comes
to The Optic at a late hour this after.
noon that the damage has been we'll
nigh repaired and that trains will
cross before 5 o'clock this afternoon.
The trouble south vas the washing
away Of a small bridge neal Lamy.
No. s and No. 2 got over safely a little
after noon and arrived here at 1850
and 4 O'Clock respectively.
A special received here this norm
ing from Alameda said the Rio Grande
had risen eighteen inches during the
night and hat $50 men had been
rushed up from Albuquerque to work
on the leyee. Alameda is eight miles
above Albuquerque. The levee guards
the old channel of the river which
runs through the lowlands of Albu-
querque. The current of the river,
however, strikes the west bank, and
the east bank where the levee is re-
ceives at ordinary times nothing but
the back wash. When the river is
unusually high there is some pressure
against the dam and the best informed
believe there is some danger, In case
the leyee gives way, of the river going
back into its old channel. A Santa Fe
civil engineer who works between here
and Albuquerque tells The Optic that
the danger is great enough to make it
extremely important than an impregi-
Bile levee should be maintained at
Alameda. This view seems TO be
shared by the people of albuquerque
who have had the dam constantly
watched during the present high wat
er and have strengthened 1t with piles
of %sandbags wherever it showed in
~dication of breaking. 1t is the inten-
ton to plant a row of willows behind
the levee and to fill in with stone and

Many having friends and relatives
in Albuquerque called at The Optic
office today and were assured there
was nothing to cause apprehension Of
damage to Albuquerque.

kind and courteous manners and strict

panied to the train by a large Grove
of friends who showered rice and good
wishes after them in great ~profusion
Note-The bride is a sister to the
local waitress at the Castaneda.

NORMAL SCHOOL BILL
Newark and Jersey City De-
feated = New Amendment
to Colby Measure.
Special tc eTae Jersey city News. :"

Especial tc TIE Jersey City News
TRENTON. Feb. II, 1903. Newark's
effort to have a normal school locatsd IN
thar city met a rebuff which is. wellnigh
fatal in the House of Assembly last eve
ming. There is no certainty yet that As
semblyman Harry Leavitt's plan of en-
larging the Trenton Normal will be
adopted, but it is much more probable to-
day than yesterday
The bill under discussion last night
was the Colby bill. wanted by Essex
County and said to be backed by the
State Board of Education, of which Mr.
Colby lis a member. 1t does not fix the
site for the proposed normal, but leaves
that with ] the State Board, which is
known to favor Newark as the site.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Treacy,
of Hudson, last week to locate the school
in Jersey City, first came up for discus
sion. 1t was opposed by Colby.
Mr.. Treacy made an eloquent appeal
for Jersey City, and was supported by
Mr.. Stillwell, from the same County
Messrs. Newcorn and Williams both OBJ
jected to the Legislature selecting the
site.
Then began the parliamentary fenc-
ing. Mr.. Leavitt moved that the pend
ing melton be indefinitely postponed, be-
cause, he said, there was bill before
the Legislature providing that the Tren-
ton Normal school be enlarged and i'm
proved.
Leader Boyd succeeded in shutting off
all further debate by moving the previ-
GUS question while Mr. Leavitt was still
on the floor. This was ordered and the
Treacy amendment was then put to a
vote and defeated, n to 49,
Then Mr.. Dalrymple, of Passaic, of
fered an amendment Locating the new
normal at Passaic City. This amend
ment was passed by vote of 33 to p.
Then Mr.. Leavirt moved to lay the bill
as amended on the table. This was
carried.
Mr.. Colby win find it a difficult task
to get rid of the amendment, which prac-
tically kills his bill. The members
which he might get to vote for. the .ori-
ginal bill would not vote against the
amendment. The Mercer members are
very much elated over the result of the
first maneuver over this question. 4

TRENTON, Feb. II, 1908 Senators
Gebhardt and Hudspeth took occasion
last night to protest because they We're

Senator Hudspmeth compared the pre-
sent state Of things with what existed
when the Democrats were in power and
denounced the present loose methods.
Senator Wakelee told the majority
that they always had remedy for their
supposed wrongs by requesting the COM
mittee chairman to hold meeting on
bills in which they arc interested.
