The Decisions of Mr.. Bryan.

The following vigorous editorial is
from the New York Times
I'm 1908 we shall not only win vic
tory, but shall be in power for genera
tions. and it shall fall to our lot to carry
out all the reforms for which the people
a1e clamoring,' said Mr. Bryan to his
friends of the Brooklyn Democratic Club
Tuesday evening
We do not know upon what facts or
beliefs Mr.. Bryan bases this prophecy
If he is really speaking as prophet he
risks his whole reputation; if he speaks
as a politician seeking merely to put
heart into his followers, we must doubt
the sufficiency of the means to the end.
He deludes himself but not his follow
ers. A Bryan Democrat would have to
be very blind to the signs of the times if
he believed that his party, or the Bryan
portion of his party, will triumph next
year and remain in power for genera
lions.
All the reforms for which the people
are clamoring? Every man who keeps
his ears open knows that these are Mr..
Roosevelts reforms. Originally they
were Mr.. Bryan's. Mr.. Roosevelt has
seized upon them, has made them COM
pletely his own, and he has vitalized
them with his personality and his genius.
He is so far superior to Mr.. Bryan in
ability, in intellectual reach and re-
source, in picturesqueness, in zeal, force
and ardor, and in his command of all the
arts by which crowds are reused and led
that Mr.. Bryan is as completely "blank-
eted" and beaten as if he had never been
in the race. In comparison with the
wonderfully gifted leader in radicalism
Mr.. Bryan seem pale and Intellectual
indeed. No very large number of per-
Sons any longer seriously attends to him.
Demonstrations organized in his honor
seem cold and perfunctory. Democrats
who wish TO remain Sin politics" abide
with him because they have nowhere
else to go. But the people The re-
forms for which they clamor, the chas-
Using of the railroads, the claiming of
the corporations, the abridgment of the
swollen fortunes, with all these another
and far ADLER agitator and radical than
Mr.. Bryan has charged himself.
Robbed by Mr.. Roosevelt of all his liv-
ing issues, afraid to trust himself to his
issue of government ownership of rail-
roads, Mr.. Bryan, desperately casting
about for some idea with which his name
may be identified in the popular mind,
has fished up the ancient, battered, I'M
interesting and academic notion of the
initiative and referendum. You might
as well try to inspire the people by urg
ing upon them new method of ex
tracing the cube root. The initiative
and referendum has a deathless charm
for raw minds. 1t is the last support
of frayed and outworn political reputa-
tions. A theory which, if applied ir
private business, would result in uni
versal bankruptcy, which has in every
land been rejected by the founders Of
political institutions, which is applicable
only to the affairs of small, primitive
and homogeneous communities, will not
be transformed by Mr. Bryan into al

A Quaint Epitaph.

The following epitaph is copied from
a tombstone in Brandon, VT. marking
the grave Of child who died at the
age of few days:
Sweet maid. she glanced into our world
to see
A sample of our misery.
She turned aw her languid eye
To drop a tear or two and sigh.
Sweet maid. she tasted OF life's bitter
ii cup
Refused to drink her portion UP.
She turned her little head aside,
Disguised with the taste. and died.

THREE THOUSAND QUIT WORK
Commercial Telegraphers Employed in
 New York City Strike.

New York, Aug.-At 1 o'clock Mon day Les-eA0perators in the main office ol the Western Union here went out. There had been rumors that such a move was in contemplation, but up to a few minutes before 1 o'clock there were no signs of the intended action. At exactly 1 o'clock shrill whistle was sounded through the big operat- ing room, and practically every man left his desk. As the men left the building they were cheered by other operators who had gathered in Dey street. The cheering soon attracted the passersby on Broadway, and in few minutes large crowd had gather ed There was no disorder, however, and the police of the traffic squad soon put the sightseers in motion few minutes after the strike while the pc lice were clearing the sidewalks around the Western Union building, one man disputed the right of the po- lice to compel him to move on and he was arrested.
 Secretary-Treasurer McInenery of the local Photographers Union said that the local men had walked out without any order from the union off cers, and that they took the matter in their own hands in going out. He said the officers of the union, though, would stand by the strikers in their action.
 Secretary McInenery said that the feeling of the men was strong against the company, but that the local union officers had done all they could to prevent the men going out. He said;
 The officers regret the action ot the men going out at this time. We did all We could to restrain them. but they were simply goaded into going out. The last straw that broke the camels back came, when three men who had been discharged last week for declining to work wires on whlcn strikebreakers were employed, went to the main office of the Western On- ion to get their time. They were told by one of the chief operators to gel out of the office, and the men ac- companied the ejectment with abusive language The fault is with the com pany, for We have done all we could to prevent this trouble. The local union will stand by the men.
 Secretary McInenery said the local union was we'll provided with funds and that the Order of Railway Iele- graphers had assured the local union that they would aid them in finan' cial way.
