FRIDAY, JULY. 1894.
Bryan S Plans.

After returning from St Louis Mr..
Bryan announced that he should sup
port Judge Parker for President and
postpone until after the election his
reorganization of the Democratic
party. Evidently, however, the Ne
braskan colonel has found waiting
irksome after a couple of weeks. for
he has announced what his plan of
organizing the radical and progress
sive element of the Democratic party"
will be.
For more than a century" he de-
clares. the Democratic party has
stood forth as the representative of
great ideas. jefferson founded it..
Jackson defended ii. and even Cleve-
land could not destroy it." Mr.. Bry-
al acknowledges that while he was
the leader OF the party, he could only
follow those principles and policies
which were embodied in the plat
form But now that the leadership
devOlves upon another" he is at lib
erty Ito engraft new doctrines upon
the party creed" TO his hearts con-
tent.
The only one of these new doc
trines,' which Mr.. Bryan is going i'm
mediately to engraft is Government
ownership. which is neither new nor
Democratic any more than it is Re
publican. The postofice, in fact.
bears witness that government OWL
ershiD is essentially national. Nor 2
over, the signs of the times indicate
its approaching inevitableness. Grow
ing appreciation of the rights Of the
individual viii assuredly demand that
all public enterprises be publiclys ad-
ministered for the good of all.
Mr.. Bryan first invites '-the sDAmo-
Gratis to consider a plan for the Gov
eminent ownership and operation OF
the railroads" He would not put the
railroads in the hands of the$Federal
Government for that, he thinks
would mean an enormous centraliza-
ton of power. 1t would give to the
Federal Government a largely in
creased influence over the CITIZEN"
According 10 Mr.. Bryan, the sew
eral States can own and operate the
railroads within their borders lust as
effectively as it can be sdOne By the
Federal Government Then "a
board. composed Of the representa-
tives from the various States. could
deal with the joint traffic Of the va
rious lines.
While the Democratic party in the
nation is advocating the Government
ownership Of railroads." continues
Mr.. Bryan, the Dem ocratic party in
the cities should espouse the cause of
municipal ownership Of municipal en-
terDrises. We have also reached a
time when the Pcatomce Department
should embrace arelegraph system as
well as a mail system" Also. Mr..
Bryan might have added, when it
should embrace a postal express sys-
tenn as is the case in every other pro-
gressive country in the world.
Those who combat Mr. Bryan's
ideas-and UIuuestionably they will
be bitterly assailed-should not do e
with the 1sming Bugaboo that they
are sOciahEtic. UnsOund they NAV
be, but socialistic they are not
Socialism Involves in a final deduc-
tion the abolition Of all government.
Mr.. Bryan's plan involves as he him
self acknowledges and endeavors to
prevent by the subterfuge of State
control the strengthening Of govern

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Earnings for Year Ended June 80 Were
S65,o7I, osI, an Increase
of SI,6Oo,3o5.

The Baltimore and Ohio has issued its
financial statement for the fiscal year
ended June 80. and it shows a remark
ably profitable year. though not up 10
the year preceding, which was the best
the company ever enjoyed.
The past winter, with its floods. eX-
tremeIy low temperature, and heavy
SHOWS. made operations slow and ex-
pensive. and the decrease in business
during the past few months. caused
some apprehension as to the financial
result Of the year.
The management kept an exceedingly
close watch on the situation. and was
able to clean up large number of old
matters. charging out many things that
have been pending for "A long time. and
I'm other ways cleaned house for the new
year.
Despite these expenses the statement
shows a good healthy condition. The
road has earned its fixed charges. taxes,
dividends etc, and has nearly, If not
quite. 100000 surplus for the year.

THE REAL KURoPATkIN.
A Great Leader of Men and Brilliant
 Soldier.
From the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
 At f1fty-six General Kuropatlxin has the same restless energy that he had in his youth when he stormed through the hor- TOTS of Plevna with Skobeleff; and he is one of the most famous military men now living Like Skobeleff, he is a great leader of men, and he knows the value of the theatrical pomp and braggadocio that appeal to the Tartar hearts of his Russian soldiers. But, in spite of his boosting addresses, his ostentatious slap ping on the back of his brother Ivan the private; in spite of his carload of icons, amulets and crosses, with the ex- hortations and benedictions of his priest, he is a cold -blooded calculator, patient and untiring in his study of detail, mod est and just. He is the idol of his army. Endless toll has been the keynote of his life.
 His lust for hard work showed itself early. At eighteen he scorned the fash tonable Imperial guards, and chose a commission in the Turkestan rhes be- cause he wanted work. After brilliant service ending at Samarcand, he return ed to St. Petersburg at twenty to com plete his studies in the academy of the of Ps1off, but he worked desperately hard, and in 1874 took the highest hon ors. On leave to study abroad after the Franco Prussian war; he helped to reor- ganize the French cavalry. General de Gallifet the first cavalryman of France. declared in his report that the most

The smaller children began 10 cry with fear The older children knew if their father, pos sessed of a thousand devils, should ever be able to batter down the door of the house he might slay them. But, strange to say as the trembling wife and ehil- dren saw sthe father and husband come nearer, instead of seeing him foaming at the mouth and flashing his eyes and of hearing him rave with hls cursing lips, they saw him with a loving smile upon hs happy face. He kept calling to his wife Mary, open the door Do not be afraid. It is l. your husband, freed from all my evils Mary, open! Jesus has saved mel Jesus has saved mel
 That was wonderful description Christmas Evans drew of the poor ma niac who had been possessed with the thousand devils among the Gadarene tombs. But is the scene of that liberated Hebrew returning home any more won derful than the scenes many of us have witnessed when we saw the drunkards who have been rescued by Christ from the devils of drink. and the outcasts who have been rescued by Christ. and the seven deviled Marys of this age who have been rescued by Christ any more mar velous than the scene of a Cough, or a Woolley or a Jerry McAuley, who have been exercised of their thousand devils during our present generation? And If Christ today Is going down among the lowest of the low to rescue fallen men and women have we not a right to in clude among the "evidence of things not seen" these slaves of sin among our. selves who have been rescued by hi; power?

brilliant results of the work had been gained through the advice of young Ku- ropatlxin. His remarkable stragetic abil- ity in the manoeuvres near Metz made him the first Russian to become an offi- cer of the Legion of Honor for military services.
 He has been severely wounded sev- eral times. In the Russo-Turlxsh war he was the battle brother of Skobeleff. At Plevna, by Sxobeleffs side, he saw 5000 of his chiefs 1S,0O0 men fall. The only officer not dead or wounded, he led 300 men in a charge against a battalion of Turks. Only a hundred returned, but the Turks had been driven back into the famous "Redoubt No 13.' He has won every decoration for valor that the czar has in his gift. Skobeleff said of him that he was the coolest and hardest nerved man he had ever seen under fire.

But not only do we find the footprints of the Man of Galilee" marked side by side with the footprints of his disciples who lived 1900 years ago, but also with his disciples who are living by our side at the present day. And, wonderful. to state, Christs footprints are best re- vealed when he has been walking with the vilest of modern sinners ana outcasts. as they were when he walked by the side of Mary Magdalene and talked with the woman at the well of Samaria and fol- lowed Zaceheus to desplsed pubncan's 8 house, built by the stolen moneys of Roman tax collector.

That was q vivid picture that Christmas Evans drew of the return to his home of that man whose home was among the tombs. where he dwelt like a wild beast, A misery to himself and a terror to oth- CTS. No sooner was he delivered by the mighty word of Christ than he started off to hunt up his wife and children. No sooner did the wife see him coming than she was struck dumb with fear.
