As to Bryan.

The Seattle Times, whose absolute
director" as the paretic mattoid now
calls himself, was recently named by
the Democratic State central commit
tee to welcome Bryan on behalf of
Washington Democracy, has a welcome
for Bryan in the form of an. editorial
article urging Hearst for the Presi-
dency. In 1t he says that by Hearst
"the principles which have been laid
down by Roosevelt would be carried to
their consummation with even more
vigor" than by Roosevelt himself. The
mattoid has begun to gihber.-Seattle
Post Intelligencer.
If any further proof were needed to
demonstrate the unfitness of William
]. Bryan to be President of this coun-
try and have the reins of government
for period of four years, it has been
furnished by his utterances since his
return from Europe. They stamp him
as being a more dangerous man than
he was ten years ago. when he at
tempted to force on the nation a de-
preciated currency which would have
depleted the treasury and ruined the
credit Of the people for many years
Nevada City Miner Transcript.
Even If we should ever be forced to
adopt Government ownership as a solu-
tion of the railway evi,s OF the present
time-and may the day be far distantl
the country is certainly not ready to
adopt such an innovation now. It is
much taken with the idea of govern
ment regulation and is watching with
interest the operation OF the railway
rate law, which went into effect one
day this week. What is the use of talk
ing about government ownership when
we have just begun this other absorb
ing and possibly sufficient experiment?
Providence Journal.
In his speech at New York Mr. Bryan
said that "at present the paramount is
sue In the minds of the people is the
trust issue" The comments and criti-
cisms upon this speech by the leading
men and journals of his own party, as
well as the Republican, are confined
almost entirely to what he said as TO
government and state ownership of the
railroads. And the tenor of these COM
ments must convince Mr.. Bryan that
he was quite justified in his doubt
whether majority of the people. or of
the Democratic party. are ready to
espouse this doctrine. No Democratic
newspaper or leader of standing and
influence has accepted his dictum on
this question.-Boston Herald.

a cold breath over Wilmington. for at
$50 this morning several quite respect
able thermometers registered rs de-

day. One Of the late fall kind. A
few stray clouds in a deep blue sky,
a golden sun. crisp. invigorating air,
gave a brisk step to the pedestrian,
brighter eyes to everybody. and a glow
OF health in the cheeks Of young and
old.
Overcoats and gloves were brought
into use and the man who came out
without either or both looked go cold
early this morning that he made every
body else feel so.
The weather man does not give much
hope for very many more very warm
days but he assures us that this 35
