THE BRYAN DEMONSTRATION.

The enthusiastic reception which was
given Mr.. Bryan when he entered the
National Democratic Convention Hall
on Thursday afternoon to present his
minority report in the case of the
contesting Illinois delegates may be in
terpreted by those who do not look
below the surface to mean that he is
still a great power in the Democratic
party. Nothing could be further from
the truth.
Arrangements for that reception had
been made beforehand. The purpose
was to make such a show of strength
that uninstructed delegates would get
the impression that Mr.. Bryan and
those acting with him in the efforts to
defeat Judge Parker, would ultimately
control the convention. The friends Of
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Hearst had been
instructed 20 be present. and to dis
tribute themselves through the au-
dience, so as to influence as many as
possible to join the cheering. Besides,
there were many in the audience, par
ticularly among the delegates, who,
realizing that he was no longer a force
in politics or a factor in his party
and still having a kindly feeling for
him. desired TO make his downfall as
easy to bear as possible. The cheer
ing therefore which sounded so sweet
ly TO his ears. and which, doubtless,
made him feel that he was in the sad
die again, as it were, with a following
sufficient to enable him to accomplish
his purpose. was not an indication of
strength, but Of weakness, for when
the roll was called In the Illinois case,
at his request. it was found that in
any contest he might make he could
depend upon the support Of much less
than a third of the convention.
The cheering did not mean that he
was still a great leader of his party.
It meant that he had passed into the
ranks Of the has beens. and that his
party associates did not wish TO gloat
over his political misfortune The

PLATFORM COMPROMISES
Tended,
DE-

Those Democrats who complain that
form are not in it. and some things
they didn't want in it are in it, should
give a second reading to the admira-
BILE speech of Martin w. Littleton NOM
mating Judge Parker. Among other
things Mr.. Littleton said:
THE integrity of party existence
rests on the homely rule of meeting
each other half way. A platform is
not a photograph of party faith-it is
a composite sketch of party compro-
mise. A policy is an approximation,
not a precise plan. 1t is better to give
up some untimely doctrine and occa-
sionally succeed than to hold them all
faithfully and always fail, for if we
could become master of a few things
we might become ruler over many. To
plan success in disregard of principle
is mere intrigue; to plan failure by
holding to an outlawed issue is mere
folly. Winning is not wicked, strate-
gy is not a sin. 1t is far better for
the country to re-light the fires of
Democratic hope by success coming
from concession than it Is to put out
what is left by failure fastened to a
formulat.
In the Committee on Credentials Mr..
Bryan continually insisted that it would
be better to stand UP to the declara
tlons the party had made in previous
platforms even at the risk of losing
the election, than to abandon them and
thereby increase the chances of win
ming the election. He was, of course,
insisting upon things which were in
the Chicago and Kansas City platforms,
and which the people had twice re-
jected.
The point made by Mr.. Littleton was
that it would be better for the party to
get into power by promising to do a
few of the things the party wants done
than to increase the risk of defeat by
promising to do too many things, some
of them being things the people have
indicated they didn't want done. BY
insisting upon things the majority has
condemned, a party may never get a
chance to do anything. In 1896 and
1900 the Democratic party seemed to
think 1t advisable to construct plat
forms that would keep it out of power
This year it has aimed to build plat
form that would help 1t get into power

thing like 200 votes. If the Worlds
figures are approximately correct, that

MIR. CLEvELAND's MEDICATION.

Mr.. Cleveland doesn't want to be i'm
relative to the Democratic platform,
though he is pleased with the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker.
There is no particular reason why he
should object to giving his views CT
the work of the convention. The
outburst of applause which the men
ton of his name by Temporary Chair
man Williams caused was an extra
ordinary compliment to him. He had
been charged for eight years with
having wrecked his party by his poll
cies, and his name had been Kissed on
the floor of Congress and in great pub
lie assemblies by leaders of his party,
but the Democratic National Conven-
ton practically admitted that he had
been right all along and that those who
had reviled and sought to belittle him
had been wrong.
Mr.. Cleveland may have hoped that
the nomination for President would
be offered to him. If he did he gave
no sign of it. But whether he did or
not he has reason to feel grateful to
the convention for the vindication it
gave him.
Many of the self-styled leaders of his
party-some of them trimmers and
time-servers-who thought to strength
en- themselves in popular favor by at
lacking him, have been relegated to
political obscurity. while he holds
higher place in the confidence and es-
before. The st. Louis convention made
it evident that it is not within the
power of his political enemies to loos-
EN- the hold he has on the masses of
his party or to detract from his fame.

THE ANTI-BUoKET SHOP BILL.

We are sure the Legislature would
were 20 make 1t unlawful to operate
bucket shops in this state. The main
objection 20 them is that persons with
a very small amount of money can
speculate by means OF them-that is,
they can gamble in securities or agri-
toners of bucket shops are people of
very limited means. They cannot af-
ford to lose the small amounts they
risk. but, as 1t is we'll known, they
do, as a rule, lose.
We do not mean to charge that the
transactions in bucket shops are not
strictly honest. We simply mean to
say that they are Objectionable be-
cause they tempt people of small
means to gamble.
1t may be said that It is just as
wrong for persons OF large means TO
gamble as it is for persons of small
means. There is no doubt about that,
but we are not discussing now the
moral and legal phases OF gambling.
We are simply pointing out that per-
sons of small means acquire the taste
for gambling in bucket shops. and that
they wouldn't acquire it, in all prob
ability, II there were not such insti-
tutions.
1t would be a good thing for the
South II there were no means for gam
bling i'm cotton. The Southern states
would be much richer than they are
II the money the cotton farmers have
sauandered in speculation in cotton
had been invested in developing the
Souths resources.
There is no probability. however,
that speculation in cotton will be
stopped, and It is doubtful II 1t could
be, but the evils connected with cot
ton speculation can be limited by
shutting UP the bucket shops.

THE SITUATION IN THE FAR EAST.
Port Arthur is still in possession of
the Russians. The expected decisive
assault upon il by the japanese has
not taken place. nor is there anything
to indicate that Il will be made in the
immediate future. The land operations
OF the opposing forces during the past
week have not been important. The
wet weather and impossible roads have
put a. check upon the movements Of
both armies. The recent activity Of
the Vladivostok squadron shows that
its commander is a man Of daring and
resources, ready TO take advantage OF
whatever opportunities may present
themselves that do not involve a bat
tie with the ensmy. II Is the policy

when to Exercise.

When to exercise is an important
consideration. If the morning only is
available the exercise should be light.
Particularly is this the case IL one is
engaged in any work. The supply of
energy must not be drawn from at the
beginning Of the day. The afternoon
is perhaps the best time for exercise,
when one has gained strength from
the absorption of the morning and
noon meals. Those who exercise vigor-
ously at night should eat midday
dinner. Exercise should always pre-
cede bathing and not, as rule, follow
1t. In this respect the ancient Greeks
showed great wisdom. Exercise and
bathing they called the two pillars Of
strength. Exercise was Hercules and
bathing Apollo. Both were regarded
with equal Importance, and neither
was complete without the other.
