His Candidate.

William j. Bryan came to Chicago
the other day, professedly in the in
terest of the Democratic party. He
hired a hall that no limitations might
be placed upon him in declaration Of
principles or in expressing prefer
ences for candidates. And yet he
made no declarations Of principle and
made no suggestions as to a candi.
date.
His speech was almost wholly naga-
tive. He devoted most of his time to
the criticism of the platform adopted
by the New York state convention to
the Democrats of the nation. In his
analysis Of the platform he found not
a single phrase to commend, not a
principle to approve.
If Mr.. Bryan has any political fol-
lowing, If he is still the leader of the
faction that controlled two Demo
cratic national conventions, his speech
was formal notice to the people Of the
United States that there is an irrepres'
sible conflict and an impending crisis
in the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan, judged by his speech In
Chicago, is at open war with the wing
of the Democratic party under the
leadership of Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Hill
and Judge Parker. He looks forward
to no parley except in the field Of his
own choosing. He looks forward to
no platform tnat does not include the
Kansas City platform. He looks for
ward to no candidate who cannot
stand upon the Kansas City platform.
The only question that Mr.. Bryan
leaves open is as to what candidate
he will support. He mentioned none
that he could approve. He was en-
phatic and definite as to the candi
dates he would oppose. The logic OF
his speech points to one candidate
only-and that is William j. Bryan,
the twice defeated, the hopeless

Easily Encouraned.

The New York Evening Post sees
hope for free trade in the fact that
nothing tangible in the way Of tariff
reform is to be expected Of the Repub-
Ncan party. 1t says:
"The people Of the United States
save had new light on a good many
subjects. They know more about tar.
IFS and their effects than they did.
They have learned that high duties
not only keep out imports, but keep
In what they would like to export
that is, unless they sell below cost.
Ten years ago production was not so
far ahead OF consumption as now, and
less attention was excited by this fact.
But to-day our greatest aim is to find
foreign markets. The Republican
platform of 1900 promised to aid in
tAls effort, but promise has not been
followed by fulflment."
II anybody has learned that a pro.
tective tariff restricts foreign trade

All the galleons of Greece
Drink the oceans dreamless peace;
Lost was Solomon's purple show
Restless centuries ago;
Stately empires wax and wane-
Babylon, Barbary and Spain;
Only one thing, undefaced,
Lasts, though all the worlds lie waste
And the heavens are overturned,
Dear, how long ago we learned!
There's sight that blinds the sun,
Sound that lives when sounds are
done,
Music that rebukes the birds,
Language lovelier than words,
Hue and scent that shame the rose,
Wine no earthly vineyard knows,
Silence stiller than the shore
Swept by Charon's stealthy oar,
Ocean more divinely free
Than Pacific's boundless sea;
Ye who love have learned 1t true.
Dear, how long ago we knew!

secularism, was represented by but
$50 delegates. The strongest ele-
ments present came from Italy, the
seat of the Roman church, the next
strongest from Germany, Austria and
England. The decline of infidelity
in the United States and the strong
gains of mature, middle-aged men in
the church memberships. are the two
most pronounced tendencies of mod
ern thought. The churches are no
longer called congregations of women
and children. Thinking practical,
hard-headed, driving business men
are now allied with them as never
before. The decline in secularism
does not mean that all the disappear
ing forces of infidelity are being alb
sorbed by the churches. Many active
infidels have surrendered, many
more have quit agitating and many
more have just simply sealed up and
are awaiting results. Ingersoll's death
left them leaderless.

1t is earnestly hoped that somebody
gets whipped in the Orient-that
either Japan or Russia will be pound
ed to pieces and thrown over the
fence, so the humiliation and defeat
will be complete. Such a result of
the war will be best for the world.
If either of the combatants is soundly
whipped he will keep his place in the
Orient forever after and the victor
will be considerate of the rights of
the other nations, for fear of COM
bined attack upon him, should he
become arrogant. If Japan and Rus
sia compromise, and the war ends in
mutual agreement, as 1t may do,
within two years, these two countries
will join hands in the Orient and the
rest of the world will be shut out.
That would be disastrous to the world.
China would be at the mercy of this
combination, the commercial doors in
Manchuria, Siberia and Japan would
be closed and monster combination
against the interests of the United
States, France, Germany England
and other civilized powers, would be
formed, from both the commercial
and military standpoint. A Russo
menacing to the interests of civiliza-
ton than a disastrous Japanese de-
feat and a Russian triumph. Man
churia and Siberia are the only large
countries left open for the overflow
of the civilized world. for the next
few years. To close their doors to
travel, settlement and trade would
be a world wide disaster.
