CLEVELAND'S ENDORSATlON OF
PARKER

Mr.. Cleveland is reported as saying
that "any real intelligent Democrat
can accept Judge Parker" and he
adds. that he is delighted at the
prospect Of the party's return to
unity and patriotic effort.
A number of Democratic Represen-
tatives have been called upon TO eN-
press their views as to the effect OF
this declaration on the part OF the
ex-President upon Democratic har-
moDy, and Democratic prospects Tor
success, and considerable number
have declared Ii to be their belief that
it will weaken Judge Parker schanceS
for the nomination, and lessen the
chances of Democratic unity. Upon
what these dissenters base their
ideas, we cannot see. Judge Parker
has on all occasions consistently CIV
en- his support to the Democratic
ticket. When Mr.. Cleveland, and
those who bolted the ticket in
1896 and 1900. were using their best
efforts to defeat Mr.. Bryan, Mr.
Parker gave his unqualified support
Surely the Bryan Democrats cannot
now refuse to support the man who,
in spite of environment and illustri-
GUS example. remained true, simply
because Mr.. Cleveland and his FOL
lowers, who did not deem that they
could eonscientiOusly support Bry-
an and the principles he stood Tor,
now declare that Judge Parker Is ac-
ceptable to them. All elements OF
the Democratic party must realize
that in order to attain success this
time all factions of the party must
be united, and they must further
realize that any man who has an
atom OF chance for success must be
at least acceptable to Mr.. Cleveland
and his following. To our mind the
effect OF Mr.. Cleveland's utterance
should have the tendency to en-
nance Judge Parker's chances a. the
probable nominee, not through any
respect that the Bryan element may
have for Mr.. Cleveland and his views,
but as pointing out probable NOM
inee upon whom all members OF the
party can conscientiously and con
sistently unite. If success is what
the whole party desires, the way to
harmony and success has been point
out, and this can only be attained,
as we have repeatedly pointed Thy
some compromise of views in the Sc
lection of a candidate. For ourpart
we hail Mr.. Cleveland's utterance as
a propitious sign, and it can only be
regarded otherwise by those who are
unslterably bent upon a repetition
OF the fallacies OF the two preceding
presidential campaigns and the in
evitable disasters which followed
them. Mr.. Cleveland might have been
more discreet and conciliatory than
TO have have felicitated the party
upon it's return to sanity, but this is
simply Mr.. Cleveland's view OF Demo-
cratic attitude in the recent presi-
Dental contests and does lot affect
the fact that he is willing to support
q candidate that the other wing OF
his party cannot consistently refuse.

Mr.. Bryan is at his home in Lin
coin, looking after his farm and not
in a talking mood. He declines to
be interviewed and says that here
after he will make no statements for
publication regarding the national
political situation except through the
Commoner. That is one point gain
ed for the Democracy.

Hearst has not done as well in
Kansas as he and his friends had
hoped for. While the convention en-
dorsed his fight against the coal
srust and applauded him for his vic
tory. it did not endorse him for the
presidency. The failure to endorse
his candidacy with its expression OF
confidence in Bryan, appears to be a
blackeye for the Hearst movement
in Kansas.

PROBABLE OUTCOME OF THE WAR
IN THE EAST.

The trend OF affairs in the Far
East seems to justify the impression
that the war will last long time.
The first impression, produced III
some quarters by the activity OF the
Japanese. and their signal victories,
WAS that Russia would be forced to
abandon Manchuria and sue for
peace before she could bring to bear
her immense army and tremendous
resources, but the difficulties which
beset the japanese in their Occupa-
ton Of Korea, and the delays result
ing thereirom, have given the Rus
slams time to concentrate an i'm
mense army in Manchuria. The Jap
anese are beginning to realize the
enormity OF the task they have un-
dertaken. and confronted by an army
Of superior numbers, have apparent
ly changed their tactics, abandoned
the dash which Characterized their
early movements and are proceeding
cautiously. The result OF a prolong
ed contest can scarcely bein doubt. II
japan ever had any chance OF sue
cess it was 10y sharp and quick at
taeks and occupation Ofterritory be-
fore Russia was prepared. The
chance for campaign Of that kind
is gone. and now in time unlimited
resources and overwhelming numbers
must prevail, in the absence OF some
unforeseen event. Japan can never
hope To drive Russia out OF Man
churia. which was her object when
she declared war On the other hand
Russia is going to find it a difficult
task TO dislodge the Japanese in no
rea. Acting ON the offensive in no
rea. where the enemy has fortified his
position. no doubt Russia will find 1t
vastly different proposition from
repelling an advance'nto Manchurla'
which she occupies. Indeed we doubt
not that the end OF the war will find
the Japanese still in possession OF
Korea: that they will fail in their ei-
forts toexpel Russia from Manchuria,
but will prevent Russia from gaining
a foothold in Korea. The talk OF in
vasion OF the japanese Empire in alb
surd and ridiculous. In order to ac-
complish this Russia would have to
drive the enemy from the continent,
distroy his fleets. and eiiecs a land
ing on the island, a task which is too
stupendous for even Russian re-
surces to contemplate.
It is doubtful, therefore, il either OF
the belligerents succeeds in effecting
any great change in the status they
occupied prior to hostilities, aud af
ter being worn out with fighting Il
compromise verdict will be reached.
This result is warranted by the pres
ent outlook. unless the termination
be the greatest war the world has
known, involving the great nations
