that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's

and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we viii
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents

HERE AND THERE.

VIZ + are told that the award to some Of the
owners of the land through which the
new streets now being laid out by the city are to
run way-amount in some cases to twenty or
twenty-five thousand dollars. Whatever is
reasonable sum for the land taken by the city,
should of course be paid to the owners, for the
city could hardly expect them to give away their
property But not how different things are when
II happens that the city closes up street and
disposes OF the land. There is at the present
time an application pending for the vaaction of a
portion OF Railroad Avenue; the p, B. & w. r.
X. wants the land The company doesn't expect
to pay anything for the land, for the reason that
the city won't ask for any compensation; it will
get this new strip of land for nothing, Just as
it got 700 feet of the same avenue about year
ago. Now the question that bobs up is this how
long will it take the city to get rich if it has to
pay for all it gets, and gives away everything it
has to dispose Of? Over in New York the other
day, the Pennsylvania paid $3o5ooo for FIVE
inches of land; but here, the people would be
shocked if the city got that much from the com
pany for quarter of mile of the streets.

Editor rho EVenins journal.
The homecomins OF the twice-defeased
Democratic candidate. william ,. Bryan.
seems likely 70 produce a small teapot
tempest Of hot air among his followers.
Ever since Bryan bobbed up in a Demo-
cratic convention and talked during a
period Of exceptional hard times about q
crcss Of gold and a crown of thorns he has
taken himself seriously as a born leader
Of men. without any regard TO whcm,
where or how he may lead, ard his whole
cry TO the party since has been only
elect me-"
None Of the opinions held by Bryan
have proven correct: nor have any Of his
predictions come true. Yet he still calls
out 10 Democrats Il am your Moes'
Elect met When the Spanish War broke
out Bryan rushed In and became colonel,
only 10 rush out again before he had eN-
perienced any smell Of gunpowder, and
because he was mot appreciated" But,
although he IS now a perpetual colonel"
he took The opportunity in England to adj
vertisc himself as favOrlng universal and
everlasting peace at any price" coll
onel crying for peace when there is no
war even IN sight
Bryan poses and announces himself as
the friend Of the laboring man, but he
wants all provisions to be doubled In
price, so as to enrich the SPECTATORS who
corner the provisions and the owners of
rrd silver who desire to get a
dollar for every 40 cents wor of their
mining product.
BY the passage OF free-silver coinage
Bryan desires to have 60 per cent. Of all
debts repudiated. But the moment the
debtor goes TO work he must pay a full
dollar for every 50 cents worth Of stun
he gets from somebody else and be
cheated in every transaction afterward
At one time IN the history of England
the debasirS Of England coin became so
common that IL was almost impossible TO
set money of full value or that had not
been shaved" or "cliprod" A law WAS
passed 10 hans the coin clippers and the
stealing stopped and to-day any man VINO
would clip an American dollar from It's
true value Of 100 cents to debascd
value OF 20 cents ought 10 be summarily
dealt with.
IL Us q pity that VIM. J. Bryan cannot
withdraw from his dangerous demagogue
work IN American politics and teach
school in some limited district where his
pupils would be few and far between. ana
where BY dint Of industry and great per-
severance he might be able 10 keep even
with his youngest pupils in arithmetic.
The debasement Of coin or money Is very
bad business, both in principle and in all
IFS effects, although these can all be
measured by arithmetic; but the debase-
ment Of public honesty and conscience by
plausible platitudes Of political paint and
putty is a thousand times worse
II the Democrats hope TO make any
race against any respectable Republican
at the next presidential election let them
seek out some clever man of well-trcd
executive ability who is not known to be
tainted with some kind Of political dis
honesty. Such a man might win, even
though he We're not self-styled Moses
a an actual sef-seeking politician.
