TROUBLE FROM BRYAN.

There are many Democrats who affect
not to care what Mr.. Bryan says or thinks;
but it is safe to suppose that a large NUM-
Der of them await with some degree of
nervous apprehension the speech which the
Peerless Leader is to deliver in Chicago to-
morrow night. The subject announced.
1.-The New York Platform is suggestive of
trouble. What Mr.. Bryan thinks about the
New York platform is already known. He
has said very plainly that that platform
ought TO defeat Parker's nomination unless
the Democrats. when they assemble in St.
Louis, decide to attempt a confidence game
on the public
In the light of this and like utterances ii

fitting title. What l Think Of Parker"
That is to say, this patriotic Democrat has
hired a hall in order to fay his partys

bring a sense of nearness, of the kinship
of humanity, which no dry chronicles can
ever give. 1t is likely that many persons
in this country date their first interest in
the subject from lecture delivered twenty
years ago by Miss Amelia B. Edwards, an
Psychologist, of England, who made tour

to the country an administration noted for

a fear exists that the official in charge of

THE WAY OF THE TRANsGREssORs.

The last act in the Elkhart bank tragedy
has been played. far the public is
concerned, and the curtain has fallen, hid
ing the chief participants from view. But
the drama is not ended for them. They
must play it to the end through long
years in prison and through such years
as may remain to them after the prison
doors have been opened. Perhaps in one
sense the worst is over for these men, for,
weeks of their trial, even the certainty of
their fate must bring with it a feeling of
relief. But through all their lives they will
continue to pay the penalty for their mis-
deeds. The punishment inflicted by the
court is only for their offense against the
the moral law. for the injury done to their
families, TO their friends, To themselves,
no penalty can be melted out by judge or
jury. Those sins carry their retrbution
with them, and for men of intelligence
and at least degree of moral sensibility
cannot be escaped. For a time the princi-
pies of honesty and righteousness were for
gotten; doubtless the men deceived them
selves into thinking their course justifable,
feeling sure they would make all their
crooked ways straight before discovery, as
many a man has done before them. If they
were so deceived, pity is their due; If
they entered upon their devious course with
eyes open TO its iniquity, even then it is
not the part of those who look on to cast
stone. Having committed their deed and
having entered upon the inevitable and
hard way of transgressors. the public may
we'll consider the lesson of the tragedy
without assuming pharisaical attitude of
superior holiness. For these were such men
as we all know-reputable, respected, high
ly esteemed citizens, until a few months
ago no more to be suspected of rascality
than the most reputable business men
known to any of the Journal readers. They
fell from their high estate. and the fall
was swift and certain once their feet had
tripped. The fact that they were men
of this class is what has made their trial
and their fate of such interest. The lesson
of this drama of real life is vastly more

than that of the most tremendous tragedy

maker. Ii has been his invarable rule to
denounce as unworthy every man who has
not flung his ready cap in air and shouted

his party means nothing to him If it does
not include a personal Endorsement The
Democrats know this. They know that no
candidate who is Hills friend and Cleve-
lands friend can ever be Bryans friend.
IL therefore remains a matter of particular
anxiety as TO whom Mr.. Bryan has chosen.
And the Parkerites shudder as they in
evitab.y think of Hearst.
If Mr.. Bryan does not declare openly for
William Randolph Hearst tomorrow night
it may be taken a sign that he has pri-
vate plans for raising serious difficulties at
the St. Louis convention. If he does de-
clare for Hearst it will mean that he and
his friends will bolt the convention if it
chooses Parker. In either case he adds his
maiign contribution to the completeness of
his partys present disorganization and
coming defeat. He will not walk tamely in
the rear of a procession which repudiated
him in two campaigns.
