Mr.. BRYAN and the Populists.

WI. Oh ydll dllu VIC OpuAAoSo.
Tom Watson has now turned against
his friend. Bryan. He says that the lead
er Of the free silver anu.plutocratlo
movement OF 1896 has bean captured by
tho pl,tocrats and will probably be their
candidate in 1908.
This shows how hopeless II Is for DEM
ocrats to expect to mako satisfactory
terms with Populists. In 1896 Mr. Bryan
was acceptable to the Populists, and IN
part they were acceptable to him. lie
made friendly overtures toward them;
lie spoke in the kndest and most com-
plin1entary terms OF them and Invited
their corporation. AS a result, lie re-
ceived the support Of the Populist party
and boosted that he was their nominee.
Mr.. Bryan had hoped that some sort OF
friendly and agreeable compromise would
be effected with tho Populists. and that
they and the Democrats would get to-
gether OH All acceptable platform. But
no is no doubt convinced by this time
that such compromise IN any event
would have been impractical and inlpos-,
sblc. Tho Populsts gave him their sup.
him into the White House would be the
first step, and All important step, In the
direction Of establishing and putting into
operation their theories of government.
They were not satisfied even with the
platform Of 1896, but accepted 1t as q
iiieans to an end. They had no intention
Of taking any step backward, and II Mr..
Bryan had been elected they would not
have. been satisfied with him unless he
had committed himself to all their. pct
Populistic schemes.
In the convention Of 1901 Mr.. Bryan ex-
erted a considerable influence, and while
he did not secure q platform that was
entirely pleasing to him, he succeeded in
keeping out of the platform some pro-
posed planks that were Questionable, and
when the document had been COMPLETED
he cordially supported it in convention
and subsequently. during the campaign
which followed made many speeches in
advocacy Of the platform and Of the DEM
ocratic ticket. His course has now turn
ed against him his former friend and
admirer Mr. Thomas Watson, and doubt
less. most Of the Populists, like Mr.. Wat
son, have lost their admiration for him.
Because he refused to side with the Pop
ulistsa and to remain In the DEM
ocratlc party. Mr.. Watson has lost
Interest in him, and has lost faith
in him, ana says that he is now bowling
the knee to the plutocratic Baal.
The lesson to Democrats is plain enough
the Democratic party is strongest in its
integrity and when 1t undertakes to make
compromises with the Populists or dis
gruntled Republicans or with any political
organization, whose members do not be-.
lieve in Democratic fundamentals, 1t In
jures It's character and Is sure to lose
from its own ranks more voters than 1t
will gain from the ranks Of tho aliens.
Mr.. Bryan now says that he is opposed
to organizing new party, as, In spite
OF its defeat. the old Democratic party is
good enough for him. We hope that he
is forever done with the Populists.

General Miles's Scheme.

A report comes from Washington that
General Nelson a. Miles is attempting
to induce European commissary officers
to use q larger proportion OF rice In their
army 1ations. It is further reported that
General Miles Is interested in largo rico
farms in Texas and louisiana, and that
after several trips West to. consult tho
Chicago and y st. Louis capitalists who
have invested considerable sums in the
scheme, he Is preparing to sail for Europe
that lie may visit several countries and
advocate q larger use of rice as an army
ration with view to getting a wider
market in the products OF Texas and
Louisiana fields. which he and his as
sociates are cultvating.
But It is not believed that his effort
will be successful. Rice is not popular
as an article of diet with the soldiers OF
the United States or the soldiers Of Euro
pean armies and it is useless to attempt
to make men eat that which they do not
like when there are moro acceptable re-
lions at their command. It must be con-
fessed, however, that Japan has been
doing first-rate work with soldiers fed on
diet Of rice.

else. recreancy to what is expected
of US.
Again 1t is an appeal for naagnani-
nifty. If we are really here to pIay
the part of honorable men and women
we can afford to overlook apparent
Sights and wrongs, because all these
When meekly taken strengthen and
perfect character. We can refrain
from answering back, from returning
unkindness for unkindness. What Is
shabby treatment. what are baseless
accusations compared with keeping
our own record clean and fine and
magnanimous?
And still again this conception of
life as an affair of honor is a mighty
appeal for achievement. Just because
we are given such large latitude. lust
because we are made in the image OF
COO with divine capacities, just be-
cause we are permitted to think and
talk and act as we please, we are
bound to do something and think
something from day to day that is
worth while. We are bound to be
doers. not parasites or drones. No
matter IL life is short and the years
ny swiftly and we are not as gifted as
some others are and the circle of our
influence is small, we can still rise to
the level Of this conception of life
which has been expressed so beauti-
fully by poet. Edward r. Sill, who
was on earth only few years when he
wrote

That's the talk" shouted a score
OF voices and in almost no time every
man present had added a donation to
Kentuck Randalrs estate. A delega-
, ton was appointed to seal the pile in
an old can and bury it in the dirt
1oor OF the cabin and soon the task
was reported as duly performed.
Early in the afternoon the half doz-
en- prominent citizens called for Miss

searched every nook and corner of the

hands seized half as many shovels and
for several minutes dug in every place

"'Tain't no use" said one of the
workers. finally. throwing down his
shovel, there amt nothin' yere."
But at that moment shout from an
other perspiring but cheerful Iaborer
drew everybody to his side. He had
uncovered the can. which was soon cut
open and its contents dumped out on a
table.
How much is there?" eagerly in
quired the heiress

dollars. and all your'n," said the Par
son, and at his words Miss Randall
gave a glad cry and tainted.
But Joy Is never fatal except IN sto-s
rfes, and the young lady was soon In q
condition to be taken to the hotel ac-
companied by the precious can and
every man In camp.
The next morning before the stage
left she made them little speech OF
thanks for their kind assistance, and
there was not a donor to the estate OF
Kentuck Randall, deceased, who did
not feel fully repaid for his contrfbu-
tion. At the last moment Parson
White announced that he was going
along TO protect the young lady and
her valuable treasure. and, although
Hank Dillard said privately that so
long as Kentuck was dead. the stage
didn't need no protectin'," vet the
ParsOn allowed he needed a trip any
now and the boys applauded his gener-
Gus action.
Two weeks later Bill Diggs. with a
lugubrious countenance, read to the as
sembled citizens OF Paradise Flat the
following letter:

been confined mainly to bacon and rub

who agreed TO detain the young lady at
the table as long as she in conscience
could. and there was not one of the
newly purchased garments that did not
do duty a second time, somewhat to
it's detriment but greatly to the edifica-
tion of it's fortunate wearer. Then the
Flat, conscious of the fact that it had
done itself proud in a sartorial way,
drank long ard deep at Bill Diggs
well-springs of joy and waited in tre-
mendous anxiety for the morrow.
The next morning Miss Randall,
through Nam Roberts, expressed a de-
sire to meet Parson White, who she
understood was the leading citizen of
Paradise Flat. as well as a few more
of the prominent inhabitants. There
fore an hour later the Parson, with five
lesser lights (there being only six white
shirts in camp, marched into the little
parlor, where each man exerted him
self TO get behind his fellow the re-
mainder of the Flat waiting the while
at the FL Dorado TO hear the result of
the conference. When the landlady, in
her best style, had performed the intro
ductory ceremonies the young lady,
who to the deputation of leading citi-
zens bore the appearance of a blue
eyed, golden-haired angel, murmured
few broken words of thanks to them
for the kindness which she knew from
their appearance they had extended to
her poor, dear papa, whereat each
member of the delegation felt strongly
disposed to exercise his pedal extremi-
ties. not only on himself, but upon his
neighbor as WELL as his mind reverted
to the past.
Now to business" she finally re-
marked. Poor papa sent us so much
money while he was alive that mamma
and l knew he must have left quite
an estate, so l concluded to brave the
hardships of the journey and come
out TO take charge of it. Do you
know which bank he put his money
in?"
"Parson Whites"-began one of the
boys, but he was interrupted by kick
in the shins and a volley Of ferocious
looks and discreetly subsided.
THE gentleman was about to remark
that they had appointed me to be
spokesman" said the Parson IT don't
really think your father put his money
into any bank. You see, we amt got
no banks here and the boys mostly
takes care Of their own money"
when they are lucky" muttered
one of the delegation.
"Then possibly papa buried his
money" suggested Miss Randall

tire crowd.

"But didn't he have a good claim ?"
