BRYAN and Tillman.

-. Interviewed at Augusta. Ga, on the polit-
lcal situation, Senator Tillman said:
1T looks to 1Le as IL the democrats will
have to nominate Bryan for the presidency
next year. He seems to be the only logical
man. He will have a running mate some
substantial southern man, probably Culber-
son Of Texas, Hoke Smith OF Georgia or
Daniel Of Virginia"
Why not speak for yourself. Benjamin?
Bryan and Tillman could be pronounced
,"trippingly' by the spellbindsrs. It would
have a militant ring. and insure a lively
campaign. The two men are not wholly In
agreement. but what OF that? Mr.. Bryan
could oonfine himself to the question of
,plutocracy In its various manifestations
and Mr.. Tillman to the race issue az he
sees It through his red spectacles. Mr..
,Culberson, Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Daniel are
good democrats, but no better than Mr..
.Tillman- II the south Is to furnish the
second man for the ticket. let Mr.. Tillman,
Notwithstanding his modesty. be considered.
! This 10 why q southern man will be Sc
lected:
| "It Is time for the democratic party to
stop offering obsolete mlllionaires for the
vice presidency. especially when they have
nothing but money to recommend them. /

1t Is always to be remembered that this
condition is only temporary. Seldom are
there two short crops in succession in this
country. Owing to improved methods of
agriculture the United States is able to
make the most Of every opportunity and
to combat to the last degree the ravages
Of insects and bad weather. Owing. too.
to its enormous area, the American wheat
field is rarely affected throughout its ex-
tent by the untoward conditions that con-
tribute to shortage.
The Department of Agriculture is hold
ing itself free from the pessimistic fnfiu-
ences that radiate from the wheat pits, and
its bulletins. while disclosing a less favor
able condition than In recent years, are by
no means of an alarming character. It is
still possible to hope for turn in the tide
and reaction from the high-price move
ment.

Is Stevenson the Dark Horsep

If Mr.. Bryan will withdraw, Mr.. Waiter
son has a dark horse, sound of wind and
limb. which he will enter for the presiden-
tial stakes and guarantee that he takes
them. He does not name him. but as the
proposition Is interesting and guessing q
high privilege. The Star will make a guess
What Is the matter with the Hon. Adlai
Stevenson of Illinois? What democrat
dares say that he is not all right?
Mr. Stevenson us a good organization
man." and docs not live east of the Allie
ghenies. nor south Of the Potomac and the
Ohio" His only alliances are such as
have "entangied" him with both factions
of the party, and most agreeably with both
Observe the appeal that could be made in
his behalf to both.
Mr.. Stevenson's relations with the Cleve-
land people are excellent. He served dur
ing the first Cleveland administration as
first assistant postmaster general, and
during the second as Vice President He
was exceedingly popular in both offices.
The way he swung the ak in the Post
Office Department, with his chief talking
civil service reform in the White House,
filled democrats everywhere with admira-
ton and gratitude. Heads fell until baskets
could hold no more. As presiding officer
of the Senate Mr.. Stevenson met every re-
quirement of that post Of great dignity and
responsibility.
Mr. Stevenson's relations with the Bryan
people are probably quite as cordial. His
nomination for Vice President in 1900 was
most agreeable to the Bryanites, and his
part in the campaign was performed with
marked zeal. 1t was no fault of his that
the ticket failed. He did not weaken 1t at
any point
Is it essential that the democracy keep
its hold on the old populistic contingent, II
so, Mr.. Stevenson should fill that bill. He
was at one time greenbacker, and green
backerism was the forerunner Of populism.
The probability Is that the populists would
take to him as readily as they have done
In two campaigns to Mr.. Bryan.
If 1t Is objected that Mr.. Stevenson Is
seventy, or whereabouts, it may be said
that he carries his years as lightly as Mr.
Cannon, of whom the republicans are talk
ing more or less. Both men are still vigor-
Gus, and as seasoned politicians know how
to meet callers and dispatch business. Mr.
Stevenson in the White House would know
how to save his strength for the most i'm
portant demands on it.
Is it Mr.. Stevenson Mr.. Watterson has in
mind? They are old friends, and MIR. Stew
enson is a native of Kentucky. But will
Mr.. Bryan withdraw, even for a man who
touches thus at all points? AS young Ham
let would say, there's the rub.

From the Lynchburg News.

That man is able to marry who is able
to provide adequate and respectable shelter
bodily comfort-all this irrespective of the
luxurtes enjoyed by other people, Very
unfortunately does it bode-the disposition
to disregard this standard-the disposition
on the part Of young men to view matri-
mony from the standpoint Of a timid
doubling as to their capacity to supply the
needs Of home-and an increasing dtspo-
sition on the part of young women to regard
an expensive mode Of living as sine qua
non Of matrimony. Thus Is the welfare of
the human race preJudiced-and false pride
and mistaken concepts are made to inter-
fere with the operation Of natures intend
ment and natures laws.

Editor Watterson says he can name a

The result will be awaited with interest.

THE TIRED CITY.

/ saw the tired city fall in the arms Of
the night !.
Like beautiful, weary woman, her
body cleaning and bright.
And she spake CT heard her whisper
when the purple dusk came down,
A mantle from high heaven to cover
the teeming town
s'Mine eyes are very tired and my
heart is deep oppressed,
For the toll of the Jay was on me, and
I crave little rest;
~ little ease from the burden that L
bore through the throbbing day,
A surcease from my sorrow-one quiet
hour to pray.
My iron tasks are ended, are done
for little while
Have / not earned respite?'
| saw weary smile,
A smile as of patient courage illumine
her pallid face,
And the Night drew close around her
and held her in his embrace.
Then I knew that the Night was her
lover. loyal and proud and strong,
For he foIded her to his bosom and
kissed her fondly and long.
And the city whispered to him, 80
love, though my body ache,
1 will robe myself in beauty, and be
glad for your loving's sake"
And she took from golden casket her
jewels cleaning and rare,
And scattered them on her fingers and
tossed them in her hair.
They spangled all her garments, they
shone like ropes of fire,
And she gloried in her loneliness, her
imperial attire.
Forgotten was the days long stress in
this triumphant hour,
And like queen she reveled in her
sudden pomp and power.
But soon her eyes grew dim again, and
ere the daylight came
She flung aside her shining gems, her
necklaces of flame;
And for one little hour she slept on the
Night s warm breast
o tired city! when viii you take long
and dreamless rest9
