l am recalling that which was ad-
mirable in our friend. "The faults
of our brothers, we write upon the

Our Brother has now solved the

BRYAN and Watterson.

The joke Is on Mr.. Watterson. Replying
on Wednesday to the prediction that MT.
Bryan upon landing would declare for the
government ownership of railroads. he said:
The election of a democratic President
in I9OS-all things pointing to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan as the candidate-wlil
depend upon a certain grasp by the party
upon the situation as it Is. and not through
the invoking of new issues or the breaking
of fresh ground. The issue OF the govern
mental ownership of the railways would en-
EoJy a revolution quite as sweeping as was
wrought by the abolition of slavery, or as
would be involved by a proposal to elect
the chief magistrate of the nation Tor ire
To inject such an issue into the next presl-
Dental campaign would be in advance to
sacrifice it. We have no Idea that Mr..
Bryan meditates anything of the kind. That
he should do so would imply hopeless
state of mental obfuscation. and, although
he has shown himself something of
dreamer 1t is inconceivable that he should
fly wholly in the face of both common
sense and the true philosophy of popular
government.
There was great risk in this, and 1t Is
strange that Mr.. Watterson took it. Expe-
rience should have taught him to be wary
In dealing with Mr.. Bryan. They possess
nothing in common except opposition to
protective tariff. Mr.. Bryan is a silver
man. and Mr.. Watterson gold man. Mr.
Bryan is an anti-imperialist, and would let
the Philippines slide tomorrow. Mr.. Wat
terson wants the flag out there, and every
where else, to stay put. Mr.. Bryan Is
strongly tinctured with populism. His de-
mocracy on that account often puzzles peo-
pie. You can tell Mr.. Watterson's de-
mocracy as far as you can see It, Inc brand
is of the old school. The fact that both
are called democrats, and that Mr.. Wat
terson is willing to accept Mr.. Bryan as
leader is but another Illustration of these
extraordinary times and what strange COM
pany men are keeping.
Mr. Bryan will never bring Mr.. Watterson
around to an Endorsement of government
ownership of railroads. But no more has
he brought him around to an Endorsement
of free silver Will they part company
now? If Mr.. Watterson leaves Mr.. Bryan
where will he go? In 1896 he went to Pal
mer and Buckner. Shall we witness an ar
rangement in 1908 which will accommodate
democrats who, though unwilling to sup
port the ticket bearing their party's label,
are yet not prepared to go over to the re-
publlcans? The Palmer and Buckner ticket
was a great relief to those whom it was
nominated to soothe. No balm of Gilead
was ever more welcome.
IN TWO weeks MT. bryan VIII appear III
Louisville in response to an invitation. and
will be welcomed by a great throng. 1t Is
to be demonstration on the part of the
southern democracy, and the democratic
leaders of all the southern states have sig
nified their intention to be present. VIII
this New York deliverance affect that func-
ton in any way? And will Mr.. Bryan i'm
prove that opportunity to repeat the utter
ance which Mr.. Watterson could not believe
he would make, and must now deeply depre-
cate?

America and Cuba.

Some of the leaders in the Cuban uprising
are said to be disappointed at the lack Oh
approval of their cause in this country.
They seem to have expected US to take nre
at their call to arms, and interfere at once
in their behalf. Instead of that, sentiment
generally has been with the Palma govern
ment President Roosevelt's attitude OF
hands-off has been applauded, and the nope
expressed that the Cuban authorities might
make short work of the bushwhackers.
The situation which moved us to profound
sympathy between 1885, when the Cupahs
rose for the last time against Spaln' ana
1885, when we took the quarrel OIL tneir
hands and put an end to Spanish suprem-
acy in the island. was one that appeared 10
a wider world than ours. England was
stirred also by the description OF what was
taking place in Cuba, but was not In POSI-
ton as we were to take action. By virtue
of being a near neighbor and OF our attl-
tude toward Cuba under the Monroe doc
trine, We were the power. and the only
power, to step in when conditions In the
island became intolerable. At last the war
fare Of Weyler became a reproach to civ
jlization. and the tragedy Of the Maine
capped the climax. In what followed we
punished our own enemies as well as
Cuba's.
There is nothing in Cuba today to stir our
blood like that, or, indeed, at all. 1t IS
only a case of politics. The outs are
fighting the ''ins." We are familiar with
the game in this country, although We don't
play It after the fashion of our southern
nelghbors. Their weapon is powder and
ball; ours is the ballot. Ours, we think. Is
the better, and we could wish to see our
neighbors adopt 1t. In time they may. They
will think more Of the ballot the longer they
use 1t. They have but recently made its
acquaintance.
For this reason our pulses are not at
present quickened. The Cubans in the
bushes may have some grievances. No gov
eminent is perfect. We think well Of our
own. but, improve 1t as we may, there re-
main some things to complain OF. The
thing for the liberal party in Cuba to do
is to try. try again. not by revolt. gun in
hand, but by an improved organization and
better management in the peaceful presen-
tation Of issues.
American interference, now or at any
time, will not come at the instance Of a
lot of disgrunt1ed politicians figuring on
offices and personal honors and little exer-
cised with the welfare Of the island. We
wish Cuba well and have fair idea OF her
true interests.

Christian Olaf Hohenzoaern was baptized
the other day at Potsdam, Germany in the
private chapel of his grandparents, the EN-
peror and Empress of Germany Little
William F. +. ]. C. o. Hohenzollern Is the
eldest son of the Crown Prince of Germany,
his only son in fact his only child to be ex-
plicit. He is an important little pink per-
sonage. In him are wrapped many of the
hopes of the whole Hohenzollern house. If
he survives his grandfather and his father
ard there has meanwhile been no change
In the way in which the German people
manage their affairs. he will some day be

Of Prussia, and goodness knows what else
besides for the Hohenzollern family Is
somewhat acquistive. and by that time NAV
have added considerably to Its territorial
odds and ends.
OF course. an infant of such possibilities
and Importance must be carefully safe
guarded through life, physically. mentally
and spiritually. There is a big machine for
attending to each of these departments of
the youngsters welfare. He will be doc
tored by the largest corps OF the ablest
physicians who ever prescribed for a collie

Mcclellan.

Mayor Mcclellan sails for home today.
and upon his arrival will help boom Mr..
Jerome for governor. He said in Paris yes
terday:
II am going home to fight for decency in
politics and decency in democracy. and my
friends are going to fight with me-
1t Is this sort of thing that mystifies some
people and turns the stomachs Of others.
The men Mr.. Mcclellan is coming home
to fight this year are the men who last
year reelected him mayor. If they are
the sponsors and purveyors of indecent poll
tics and indecent democracy now they were
then. The only change in them Is that
they are now against him. II they were
good enough last year to pick a mayor
are they not good enough this year to pick
a governor? The McClellan-Murphy fight
illustrates the humbuggery which has set
tied down over all of our politics. And does
1t not explain the wide and deep distrust
with which all politicians are now regarded?
