Mr.. Bryan says there is every indica,.
ION that the democratic party will now
ADDRESS itself to these reforms, and thu,
by deserving success lay the foundation
lor real victory" But most OF the mat.
ters which MIR. Bryan mas referred to, are
not new things; he, himself has shown in
the article that m ost ot these things have
already been planks in The party plat
forms without the coveted victory ensu.
ing. ..
The whole trend Of Mr.. Bryan's article
is, that the only hope of the democracy
is the possible mistakes Of the republl-
cans in dealing with these problems AIr.
Bryan's idea has severa' faults; one be-
ing that it will be just as hard to unite
the democracy on the correc' solution OF
these subjects, which are mostly of a
purely bushes nature rather than politi-
Cal, as it will be tor the republicans.
Trusts, monoplies and railroads are lust
as much democratic institutions as thev
are republican. That the republican
party can make mistakes is very tue.
but the history of the past fifty years has
proven that they have grappIed with far
greater problems than on MIR. Bryan's
present list and solved them to the salts
faction Of the people, and in the light OF
alter events have proved to have solved
them correctly. Anyway The republican
party has every reason that can possibly
actuate the Democrat: party in solving
these issues rightly.

nR. BRYAN AND REORGANIZATION.

In late issue of the Saturday Evening
Post Mr.. Bryan has an article on the fut
ure OF democracy in the discussion o
which he naturally refers to past history
As matters stand Mr.. Bryan is undoubt
edly the foremost figure IN the ruins and
what he says may be taken as the plans
of the leaders of the democratic party as
now constituted, and therefore of inter
est.
But we fear the average democrat will
not get much hope Of encouragement
from Mr.. Bryan present ideas. His
torically the author gives Mr.. Parker
very faint praise. About all the reason
that he sees tor disappointment in MIR.
Parker's defeat is that Mr. Parker favor.
ed immediate declaration Of PHILIPPINE
independence. He thinks Mr.. Parker
might possibly have given the people
some other reforms but does not ment.
ron them by name, Mr.. ryan states
that we cannot deny the PHILIPPINES indie.
pendsnce without violating constitution.
alliberty evidently forgetting the fac,
that the Indians have been held as
wards Of this government ever since il
has existed and that his democratic
friends in the south have succeeded in
denying the negro his constitutional lib
erty in the exercise Of the franchise.
Mr.. Bryan refers to past presidential
elections and says that the last election
has forever destroyed the power Of the
east or conservative element to lead the
party. He proudly boasts that he re-
ceived million more votes than did his
predecessor on the national ticket and
more than Mr.. Parker, but seems again

MccUNBER'S NATIONAL WHEAT in.
SPECTION.

This paper has several times called at
tention to the wrong, almost absurc
methods of grain inspection under which
all our crops are sold.
There need be no argument to show
the folly Of a plan that hands over the
power Of fixing the grades entirely witt
the buyer. All our wheat goes 10 Mimi
eapolls or Duluth. The inspection is
done by Minnesota officials who have nc
interests in common with farmers from
other states. Whire they are sta te off ci
ais yet they are in every way intimately
connected with the private interests O
the local buyers OF those markets. With.
out charging them with being any more
or less than human, that seems to Ill thai
is necessary in this case.
|, Senator McCumber's bill seeks to pu,
the matter under government appoint
ment and management. He would have
the matter placed in the hands of the
Secretary OF Agriculture, and the inspec.
tors placed under the rules of the civil
service. These inspectors to be placed
in all the principal grain markets.
The bill itself does not seek to make
definite rules as to grading other than
the Secretary shall make the rules and
"having reference to the standard, classi-
6cation and grading, now recognized by
the chambers of commerce and boards
of trade but he shall not be controlled
thereby"
It would seem that the subject of dis.
interested government inspection Of
wheat ought TO appeal to the interest Of
every producer, but strangely enough
there does not seem to be much interest
takenin the matter by those most in.er-
ested on that side, y. ss#
Onthe other hand the people who are
interested on the other side, he buyers
and The; chamber Of commerce men are
wide awake and such : bill will never
pass with their consent. Besides this

London, May Is. - Intense popular

War Is Growing.
Gyang Use, Tibet, May 15.-British
troops made a reconnaissance in force
on Wednesday. The larger part of the
expeditionary force, which has been
halted before Jong for some days, was
taken by Col. Brander to flank the
hills behind and to the east of the
Tibetan stronghold.
The Jong monastery on the noun
tain side was visited because it had
harbored the enemy's horsemen two
days ago, but was found to be inhabit-

therefore, left unframed.
No opposition was offered by the Til

The commandment was renewed late

which our chief defense could be en-
filaded, was occupied and partly de-

Job After Unique Regime.
Washington, May Is. - Eugene r.
Ware, commissioner of pensions, has
handed his resignation to President
Roosevelt, to take effect at the pleas
ure of the latter. The resignation has
been in the hands Of the president for
some time, but he has urged the poet
lawyer to remain at his post for
while longer. For months rumors
have been current to the effect that
Mr.. Ware desired to lay aside the

Mr.. Wares wishes long time before
the formal resignation was placed in
his hands. The commissioner has
clashed several times with his SUI
perior, Secretary Hitchcock, who has
overruled several opinions of the com
missioner, and has ordered the re.
yersal of some Of his official acts. The
administration Of affairs in the pensiont
Office has been unique during the
