his theories even when they are only
question of expediency, but history
does not afford an example of poll
tician who advocated an immoral pol
icy and survived it.
The free silver proposition was a
steal. 1t involved the reputation OF
one-half of all existing Indebtedness.
It's results would have been worse
than war, famine and pestilence put
together.
Bryans plea is about as rational
say amusing-as the address of a
highway robber to a prospective fell
low traveller who should say: See
here my man, let us be friends and
companions. On two different Occas-
ions, it is true, | tried to hold you up
and take all you had and you succeed
ed in beating me off and | would still
like to do it, but | have a lame arm
at present and am absolutely harm
less. Come and go with me and trust
me. | am now a perfectly safe and
honest man
He might be compared also to a
physician who says to a former pa,
tient: 1T is true that on two differ
ent occasions when you applied to me
for treatment | tried to poison you and
you discovered the trick and frustrat-
ed it and / would still poison you if
could, but that is nothing now.
You will be on your guard hereafter
and | will be unable to poison you,
SO pray continue to trust me and en-
ulOy me in Sickness"
The traveller and the patient would
both say: "Whcre there is a will
there is a way and as long as you
have a disposition to rob me and take
my life am afraid you will find a
way to do it, SO prcfere to have ~ h.
ing to do with you"
That is exactly what the American
people will say to Bryan if the op-
portunity presents itself

st. PETERSBURG, Mug. 1.-THE activ-
ity of the terrOrists and revolutlonists
and lack OF support of the public are
steadily forcing the governments
hands in the direction Of repression.
The events in Poland have given d
new impetus to the talk of military
dictatorship, which is one Of the sub
tccts for consideration enumerated in
the call for meeting received by the
members OF the military council. The
prevalence of agrarian strikes and
disorders has impelled Premier StOly-
pin TO send another circular to the
provincial authorities directing them
to spare no efforts to suppress them
and prevent their repetition. NJ. Stoly-
pin demands increased vigilance on
the part Of the administrative officials
and police and rural guard.

BRYAN AND THE BULL RING

In small slaughter houses a rope is
fastened around the horns of a steer,
then passed through a ring in the
floor and then wound around wind
lass, says the Chicago Chronical.
When the windlass is turned many
are the struggles and contortiOns of
the animal as his head is brought
down to the floor to receive the death
blow, but it is of course all in vain.
What the ring in the floor is to the
steer the silver issue is to William
J. Bryan. The various democratic
conventions that have nominated him
for the presidency are like so many
turns on the windlass. He sees the
bull ring right in front of him and
has already began the sidestepping
and dancing about which naturally
precede the more violent efforts to
escape the inevitable. He betrays his
gloomy apprehensions by discussing
the subject of silver himself before
any one else has limited at 1t. The
wicked fee when no man pursucth
Deeply impressed with the appre-
hension that his silver record forever
disqualifiss him for the presidency or
for a presidential candidacy, Mr.,
Bryan. has now begun to apologize for
1t. He would repudiate it if he
could. but rs he must live and die
with it he attempts to draw it's
teeth.
Il am moro than ever a free silver
man." he says, but the free silver
issue is dead. \ deplorable plethora
of gold came along just rs l introduc,
ed the issue and killed it. 1t is a
dead issue at present and cannot in,
terfcre with my candidacy"
Issues may be very much alive for
some men long after they are dead
to the community. The fact that a
national issue has been disposed of
does not rchahilitate the men who
were on the wrong side of it, espec.
tally if it was a moral issue.
Whenever moral issue has been
decided Alright and ceased to be an
issue all the politicians who were on
the immoral side have been inferred
with 1t.
Secession is n dead issue and every
politicianiwho advocated it is dead al
so for all national purposes. Slavery
is a dead issue and no man who ad
vocated it can ever be president. Flat
money is a dead issue and James B
Weaver can never be live politi
clan.
In like manner silver is a dead is
sue and William j. Bryan died with
1t as a national politician. The ten
