BRIAN'S ATTITUDE

Rad'caH,n DispeI Parv's Hope and Means
.ss Roosevelt's Election, Woyla Says

!. He still believes in bimetallism -
and. as in 1896, he proclaimed himself
q bimetallist rather than a silver mono
metalhst, it is inferred that he still be-
heves in the heayen-born ratio and the
free coinage of silver at 16 to /.
All that anybody asked Of him was a
moderate recognition Of the principle,
he himself once laid down, that
8 changing conditions make new is
sues. lg ~
81 Means Roosevelt Again.
Instead, Mr. Bryan has seen fit to
drag the corpse of free silver out Of its
grave and assure the country that it is
not dead. but sleeping. When he de-
clares that he is in fact more radical
than he was in 1896, it is to be pre-
sumed that he has changed in no way
for the better and has learned nothing.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Bryan
In installing stubbornness for consisten-
cy, is practically turning the presiden.
cy over to the republican party again,
making it q walkover in 1908, as it had
in 1895, 1900 and 1904. His statement
has already distinctly ,clouded demo:
cratic prospects in the congressional
campaign next fall and has helped to
make possible so large republican
majority in congress that Mr.. Roose'
welt 8 election will be a certainty
even against his own will.

"Who SO keepeth his mouth and his

Likewise he may keep the souls Of 9TH
ers from trouble. The words Of Solo
mon are respectfully commended to the
consideration of William Jennings
Bryan. Sc
A week ago the. democrats Of the
country were looking forward with en-
thusiasm to new order of things. BY
tacit agreement the old issues were to
be ignored and the old quarrels forgot
ten. Mr.. Bryan was accepted as the
leader of the party and: the inevitable
nominee for president in 1905 -.
Speech Spells All. ~
Mr.. Bryan, with a proper regard for
the proprieties, had refused to announce
his candidacy and had protested against
being placed in the attitude Of a candi-
date. Then without any particular
reason or justification he unexpectedly
issued a statement that did not define
his position on the proba BILE issues of
1908. but defended his position in 1895.

nomic questions, he says.

st. Petersburg, July 19.-The heller
that the adoption by the lower house
or parliament today Of a reclamation

will precipitate the long brewing con-

war is profound.
All hope of reconciliation between

At the council held at Peterhof last
night, the camarilla came out strongly
in favor of disolving parliament. but.
according to the best information. the
emperor hesitated and at the moment OF
adjournment refused to agree to a dis
solution, tho his final decision was
postponed.
Shrink From Appeal.
Nevertheless the more moderate fac
ton of the constitutional democrats,
compromising that the government can
hardly avoid the issue, shrinks from
making an appeal to the country which
may involve climb down. They seri-
ously believe that the advocates Of
the dissolution Of parliament, realiz-
ing that the making of an appeal,
would be equivalent to declaration
Of civil war, count upon the active
Intervention Of Austria and Germany,
which, according to the official Ros,
STA, have agreed in principle on send
ing troops across the border to aid in
the suppression Of an agrarian upris-
ing, should the Russian government for

Rossia's sensation.
The Rossia 8 announcement created
a tremendous sensation. It is stated
that the decision of the two neighbor-

fexecution of the principle of confisca-
ton of property in Russia would con-
stitute danger to them
The Rech, which joins in the appeal
to parliament not to take step which
seems to warrant the government in as
sorting that parliament is attempting
to usurp the executive power, says
that If the government adopts the des-
perate expedient of calling in foreign
troops to put down a civil war the
result will not be the same as in 1S4y
