BRYAN AND HEARST.

Most OF the Democratic leaders
have opposed the nomination OF MIR
Hearst, by the Democratic eonyen-
zion which will assemble in st. Louis
this summer, from the very begin
ming. While they have had other
good and sufficient reasons for tins
opposition TO his candidacy, they were
animated principally 10y desire Tor
Democratic success and Democratic
harmony. Mr.. Hearst's candidacy
could never have induced those Dem
ocrats who bolted the ticket in S96,
to return to the ranks OF the party,
and without their assistance the
Northeastern States, which with their
help may be carried, would be hope
lessly lost, and defeat OF the ticket in
this event would be assured. But
Mr.. Hearst has removed a very great
deal OF the prejudice which has here
tofore existed against him by his re-
cent declaration that he would give
his hearty support to any man the
S.. Louis convention saw Tito NOM
mate, and that he would stand
squarely on the platform adopted
there. In this statement he has
evinced good Judgment and the spirit
of sound Democracy, and his atti-
tude is In striking contrast to that
Of Mr.. Bryan, who has time and again
emphasized the fact thatii the candi-
date and platform are not to his liz
ing he will not support them. Mr..
Bryan is not only doing allhe can to
prevent harmony in the party, but
he arrogantly declares that unless
the party subsequently follows again
his leadership, by nominating a can
didate and adopting "a platform OF
his dictation, he will bolt. In 1876

cure for existing evils, honestly en-
braced iree-silverism asanimaginary

He was allowed to dictate both plat

ceeding presidential campaign

iority of his party, and largely be-
cause of the gallant fight be had
made in 1896. The ISSUES he fought
for are dead, and their chief exponent
has persisted politically with them:
The party is now alive to new issues.
Mr.. Bryan must either take his place
in the ranks or retire from the party.
Ordinary gratitude dictates the
former course. while selfishness and
stubbonness the latter Upon his
choice OF the one or the other OF these
two horns OF the dilemma which con
fronts him rests the real caliber Of

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

Latest advices from the far East
confirm the report shat Japanis pre-
pairing to attack Port Arthur by
land and sea, aud itpossible to take
it. This is contrary to what was
originally reported to be the inten-
ton of the Mikado's army aud navy
commanders. Port Arthur was con-
sidered from a strategic point OF
view as practically valueless to either
Russia or Japan, and Immediately
after communications with the main
Russian forces were cut OF by the
Japanese army, it was declared that
40 far as Port Arthur was concerned
the japanese had accomplished all
they desired. Since that time, how
ever. Japan has lost two OF her war
vessels, one by coming in contact
with Russian mines and the other In
collision. The loss OF these two yes
sells has demonstrated the uncertain
ty and insecurity OF sea power, ana
at any time such other accidents
NAV occur as would cause the loss to
japan OF the supremacy atsea which
she now enjoys. Japan prefers, and
wisely too, not to afford Russia any
encouragement to send her Baltic
fleet TO Eastern waters, as she would
undoubtedly do il the enemys naval
strength we're much reduced and she
had Port Arthur still in her posses
sion as a harbOr for the fleet. The
capture Of Port Arthur is destined to
be the most difficult task the Japa-
nese forces have yet attempted. AMI
will undoubtedly be attended with
heavy loss on both sides, butas mat
ters now stand 1t is imperative that
the japanese capture not only Port
Arthur, but il possible Nladivostoek
AS well. They can afford no more
losses at sea. for once the Russians
assume control OF the water the Jap
anese armies in Manchuria are in a
