ApnnMrNr rs MASHED.

rt is pleasant to find our some time cantankerous friend, The Virginia-Pilot, Joining the old-fashioned Democratic newspapers in their eforts to bore some financial and political sense into Bryan's head. In a recent issue it declares that Of all the former really Bryan news papers, The Commoner is the only one favoring the re-endorsement of his financial views and theories, and that of all these papers mot one but holds that the reafirmation of the Kansas City piatform would be fatal to Democratic chances this fall,' and closes strong aditorial on the subject in this way:
 This is as certain as that the sun will rise or that warmer winds will blow opinions of his enemies, but no sane man despises the opinions of his friends. That spells isolation and ruin. And if MT. Bryan insists upon the reafi1rmation of the Kansas City platform entire, he viii find in the end that he has vainly bat tered his head against, the stone wall of opposition of his friendA, not his enemies.
 We are very decidedly of the opinion that it is a waste of time to argue with MT. Bryan. Of somewhat noted Bibll- cal character the Prophet Hosea declar- ed: "Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone" If ever any man of modern days was hopelessly joined to an idol, that man is Mir. Bryan. and free silver is his idol We do not know that the Democrats of the country can do better than take the prophets advice and let him alone. Argument is wasted on him. He either cannot see or obstinately re- fuses to admit the changed conditions, or to understand that certain policies must change to suit existing conditions. If he prefers to browse on the dead thistles of past issues we see no remedy for 1t. Other and better Democrats than he have recognized the truth and are all the better for it. If he cannot or will not see what ought to be plain to any reasonable mind let him remain in dark ness.

CONCERNING BRYAN.
Sensible Conclusions of a Former
 Friend.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Il think Mir. Bryan is making great n,istase in going through the country and telling Democrats what they should do In order to have his approval" said an old line Democrat last night.
 MT. Bryan seems to overlook the fact that large percentage of the votes he received in 1886 and 1900 were from men whc supported him on account of party loyalty and not by reason of the fact that they shared with him his financial viewS. It looks to me as if MT. Bryan's mission is not to save the party but to wreck It.. Indeed. I think he would rather see the party Fail than to have the party win on platform not in accord with his suS- gestions.
 At one time Tn his career Mir. Bryan impressed the country that he was a man of flrlnness. I think tile verdict now IS that he Is an essentially stubborn and obstinate man. In this day of progress and development no man can lead a great issue who does not take an optimistic view or conditions. With Mir. Bryan 1t is different, He would much rather talk about famine and panics than to give en- couraSing accounts of the country's well fare. In fact, his stock in trade consists in tearing down. rot building up. If he should happen to the misfortune of losing his voice CT his fine stage presence, don't believe that he would have a fol- lowing as formidable as Tom Johnson of 1T MT. Bryan felt secure as to the strength of his position on public questions, ne would not find 1t necessary to use a bei- lows in order to keep alive the coals uii- der the political pot which Is supposed to hold his views"

CHINA'S RIGHT.
Question of Seizure of Manchuria
 Under Terms of Hay Note.

 Washington Special.
 Certain diplomats here have raised the question whether China will not have the right, under a general acceptance of Sec retary Hays note, If she does not already possess it, to seize Manchuria by force and prevent the continuance of its occG- patton by Russia for military purposes, and this without in any way violating her declaration of neutrality.
 The facts as set forth by those who in- cline to believe that China may right which had participated in the Pekin Con- gress signed a convention guaranteeing the integrity of the empire; that all and each of them, with the exception of Rus sia, observed the spirit and the letter of that promise.
 Russia, however, under various pretexts that her interest would be jeopardized by the withdrawal of her troops; that Man churia was infested by formidable hordes of Chinese bandits; that other powers were guilty of acts prejudiical to her, and that it was impossible for her to conVe- niently move such large masses of men and material on short notice, delayed her evacuation, so that she has now gath cred in the province of China an army whose minimum strength is placed by military experts at 150O0O. and which is probably greater. with stores of ordnance and ammunition in proportion.
 Her numerous assurances that she would keep her original promise have been as repeatedly ignored, to the dis gust and exasperation of the nations.
 The question is. therefore. very perti- nent, in the opinion of many here, and. although other nations would hesitate to mako any demand upon Russia looking to her evacuation at this time. 1t is doubt full whether any of the powers would coerce China should she now attempt to regain her partially lost territory.
 China may represent to Russia that she is fully as able as that country. uil- der existing circumstances, to maintain order within her bounds. and to prevent destruction of property: that being re- quired by the powers to remain neutral she can not fulfl that obligation whiie | her territory Is overrun by one of the hostile armies and made a highway Tor the transportation of soldiers and arms | to be used against another nation.

AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

It behooves every farmer in Alabama to read the proceedings of. the eighth an nvai convention of the Alabama Live Stock Association published in The Advertiser of yesterday and today.
 The sessions of this patriotic body of men-patriotic. because they are helping their State while helping themselves were not attended by as many persons as they should have been. The papers were instructive and inspiring. It is encouraging to know that men who are engaging in cattle raising. mule raising. sheep raising and kindred pursuits are reaching out for new ideas and progress sfve methods.
 No delegate who listened to experience ed stock raisers of other States as they dweit upon the opportunities in Alabama could have failed to be impressed with the importance of the industry in Ala bama. These lessons will be valuable to the delegates when they return to their homes.
 Recently we have welcomed to Mont gomery County several progressive farm CTS from distant States who are prepar- ing to raise live stock in this section. We need more such men here, but our own people should awaken to realiza- ton of the splendid resources and opror- tunities all around them.
 As one visitor to the convention said yesterday, Cotton Is King hero and ought to be. but let us cultivate the by- products. Let us diversity our interests"
 Beef cattle raising is profitable and may be made as successful in Alabama as in Texas. These are the words of a successful Texas cattle man. Let us heed them.

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Has it evsr been your unhappy lot to be told by your physician that you must gu to hospital and submit to an operation. If so, you remember with what dread and shrinking you awaited the day when you must endure the knife.
 The present day surgeon appears ito be possessed by mania tor operating, espe- cially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles. and while the greater number of the D, d. fession do not recommend this Hast re- sort unless they honestly believe if nec- essary, the fact remains that much need less operating is done, and the patient nut to much expense and suffering for what ?
 To obtain possible temporary relief: these words are used advisedly, because In nine cases out of ten the afiiction Ie. turns and the patient is just where he started from. Often times he could be cured much more simply and easily by the use of such remedy as the Pyramid File Cure; this has come to be recognized p4lnful disease named. and the druggists now sell more of IL than all other pile remedies combined
 The writer personally knows people who were af1ieted with the worst form of bleeding and protruding piles and who were permanently cured by the use of Py. ramid Pile Cure. In every one of these cases the attending physician had assured the sufferer that only by an operation could he rid himself of the disease; so much for the infallihlity of the doctors.
 This remedy. which is sold by all drug gists at the low price of fifty cents, Is ip suppository form. is applied directly t5 the parts affected; and performs its work quietly and painlessly. The Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshall, Mich. will mail free to any address a book telling all about piles or hemorrhoids. their cause and cure.
 suggestion is offered that if the read CT is afflicted, or knows anyone who is. this book be sent for, as 1t will be found invalua pie. wed-gu.

Subway Ready in a Month.

New York Telegram to The Pittsbu=g
 Dispatch.
 In another month the subway between Park Row and One Hundred and Twen- ty-tifth Street will be in operation, and the promised jump from Harlem to Ci.y Hall in fifteen minutes will be put to the test. By far the larger part of the subway Is constructed for four tracks, provision for the two express trains be- ing made between the locals. Lights at frequent intervals will afford the only illumination, but then there is little real need for bright lights, as there is no reason why the subway should not re- main free from obstruction. Although the four track structure is general throughout the subway at frequent intel vals the structure has been widened to form tive-track structure, so as to per- init of the switching back of aadisa bl ed train. or to permit of the operation of the subway by means of the switches in the event of an accident preventing the con tinued operation of the whole subway In order to permit of the switching of tie cars 1t has been necessary to take cut the intervening Uprights and to strength en the remaining supports so as to belr the added weight

Mr. Bryan has selected certain newspa- pers and offers a prize of $100 for a Democratic platform for 1904, covering imperialism, trusts, money and tariff and labor, upon which these papers will agree. A second offer is a proportionate sum for any platform on which two or more of the papers will agree, and If no two of them can agree upon the same platform, he offers $10 to any one of them which will prepare and print in its own columns such a platform, provided no Republi- can paper of equal circulation within ten days claims such platform as a Republi- can document" Thereupon The Rich mond Times-Dispatch counters on him with this neat one:
 As for his banter, we will give his pa- per S1O in gold, or, if he prefers, in sil- yer, if he will prepare and print in The Commoner platform to his liking which
 no Populist paper will claim as a Popu-
 listic platform.
