extraordinary freedom Of action displayed py
the Russian Emperor. Scarcely before in all MS
,oic,, has Nicholas ii travelled so far and so
freely through so disaffected portion OF his
realm. His doing so has been variously ex-
nlainnd some saving that he felt for himself a

is assumed everywhere to enjoy, and others that

ACTION OF THE BREWERS.

1t is an agreeable thing 10 find an ASSOCIATION
of citizens representing billion dollars worth
of breweries and saloons pledging ltsen 10 the
abolition of dives and TO the cause of temper
ance Whether these resolves spring from
moral conviction or from newly acquired
shrewdness is a secondary question: the sigii'h-
cant fact is that the brewers feel themselves
under sJme powerful obligation to take an open
stand upon two vital matters which they have
hitherto affected TO ignore. Their action lur-
nishes the strongest proof of, the breadth ana
yigor which the sentiment against the abuse OF
drink has recently attained. The means OF up
building this sentiment have not been supplled
50 much by those who have lately been success
fully agitating i'll favor of absolute prohipliloh
as by the brewers themselves, who have not only
tolerated but often encouraged gross evils ioi
the sake of profit Naturally. the brewers as
body repudiate this explanation. but as lndlVld-
uals many confess its truth.
Theirs is an awakening brought about ny the
same circumstances which have aroused men 10

brewers who are now recognizing openly the ue

they prepared to continue this work indefinitely,

if the brewers resort only to half-hearted meas

COLONEL W4TTERSOy IN LINE.

Colonel Natterson has signaze his recon
ciliation with Mr.. Bryan and his appearance
as the star-eyed prophet Of a new era of peace
and harmony in the Democratic party by MAX

loves TO do things with the proper spectacular
finish, and bis arrival as a guest At Omaha

wrote an editorial in The Louisville Courier
Journal" for consumption al Lexington and
used some of the best paragraphs Of il in an in
ferview for the edif1cariOn Of Lincoln and points
west of the Missouri River. The trend of these
duplicate observations that Colonel Wat
ferson had never really understood Mr. Bryan,
and that in bitterly opposing him in 1896. sup
porting him lukewarmly in 1900. denouncing
him as a marplot in 1904. reluctantly accepting
him as the party's only possible leader in 1906,
trying desperately TO find a substitute for him
in 1907 and finally reaccepting him in 1908
The Courfpr-J Journal" had acted not with real
knowledge and insight, but on vague and half
intelligent impulses. Colonel Watterson has
lived and learned and now, as he looks back
Oh the political history OF the last twelve years,
he can see that Mr. Bryan was not. he
erroneously supposed al exploiter and wrecker
Of the Democratic party, but the real main
