PARAMOUNT ISSUE
IS PERIALISM
Bryan So Declares in Dis
cuSsing Platform.
He LIKES THE TARIFF PLANK
Fears Antitrust One May Not Suit
Judge Parker.

LINCOLN. Nob. July 15.-W. j. Bryan
has taken another look at the platform
OF the Democratic party. He finds many
defects and much to commend. He is
still uncertain as to the attitude Of
Judge Alton b. Parker on some planks.
Mr.. Bryan declares the paramount issue
will be Imperialism. "The COmmoper"
today says:
THE plank on Imperialism is positive.
strong and satisfactory to the entire
party, and this question becomes the
paramount issue of the campaign
Opposed to Parker.
1.-THE tariff plank is good, but it was
made so on close vote In the com
mittee and largely against the opposi-
ton Of Mr.. Parker's adherents.
THE antitrust plank is a good one.
1t demands the enforcement OF the GRIM
inal clause of the criminal law against
the trusts; it demands the abolition Of
rebates and Determinations, and il de-
mands the withdrawal Of the Interstate
commerce privileges from trusts when
once convicted.
THE plank is infinitely superior to
the Republican plank, and with a Presi-
dent who desired TO destroy the trusts
would be a sufficient plank; but as this
trust plank was also substituted by the
fun committee, there Is reason 10 fear
that II may not be in keeping with the
ideas Of the candidate.
An Eight Hour Day.
THE labor plank is nearly all that
could be desired. 1t declares against
government by injunction. 1t favors
arbitration and the eight-hour day. and
denounces the methods that have been
resorted to in the Colorado strike; but
as these planks were added in the fun
committee, some uncertainty exists as
TO the candidates position.
1.-THE platform has a plank in favor
of the enlargement Of the scope Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
in favor of irrigation. The general
clauses of the platform excite no dis
pute, and the appeal against introduce
tion OF a race issue ought TO have
weight with the sober, thinking Amerl-
can.
No Mention OF Money.
"On the whole, the platform is good.
From a Western standpoint its greatest
defect is that It makes no mention Of
the money question. An attempt was
made to secure a plank opposing the
melting Of the silver dollar, opposing
the asset currency and branch banks,
and expressing a preference for the
United States note Ordinarily known as
the greenback). over the bank note; but
having refused TO put in gold plank.
the committee was not willing 70 have
any phase Of the money question al
luded 70.
while the motion to reaf firm the
Kansas City platform was voted down,
there was considerable vote IN favor
OF its reafiirmatiOn, and the Western
members OF the committee, with few
from the South stood together and
secured enough changes IN the platform
10 make a presentable document and
worthy Of the support of the party"

FEWER AMERICANS
STUDYING ABROAD
Improvement in Colleges
Here the Reason.
CONSUL MAKES A REPORT
Increase in Attendance at German Uni
versities Not Coming From
the United States.
CONSUL MAKES A REPORT

That the practice Of Americans seek
ing education abroad is barely holding
its own because Of the increasing eXcGl-
lence Of : merican colleges. is the con-
clusion drawn from statistics showing
American attendance at German col
leges. submitted 10 the State Depart
ment by United States Consul Diedrich,
at Bremen. Germany.
Mr.. Diedrich says that the number
of foreign students. especially Of those
coming from Russia. has steadily grown,
buS a carefully study OF the Attendance
at th@ German universe ,es See-Es TO
show that Americans have not been
addihg 70 this Increase.
Only Seven Students.
There were only seven more Ameri-
cJL.s enrolled last winter than there
were :cur years agO-317 in all.
During the nineteenth century Ger
man universities led the world In eruGi-
dion and scientific investigation. and
their great professors attracted many
students rom all parts OF the world
in quest of higher education says Mr..
DIedrich. But times are altered.
Having myself been engaged in e6u-
catlonal work as an American college
professor for good part Of my man
hood, l have naturally taken consider
able interest in the life and work az
the various institutions Of learning in
this country. and IL is my impression
that the facilities for lgner education
are improving IN the United States
much more rapidly than in Germany.
