1t is safe to predict that no Demo-
cratic spellbinder VIII attempt to dis
cuss tariff duties in specific way dur
ing the canvass. Possibly Mr. Bryan
himself might not object to having the
tariff question take a shape that would
delay the return OF prosperity until
after the election, as IL would be
profitable asset for him. But few peo-
pie of sound judgment would agree
with him. The most radical difference,
however. between the two tariff planks
is that the one framed at Chicago en-
phatically declares that protection to
American industry shall be maintained
as cardinal principle In every change
Of schedules that Is made, while the one
adopted at Denver as plainly decla res
that every change shall be for the pur-
pose of bringing our entire tariff sys-
TEN as rapidly as possible into accord
with the principle Of tariff for reye-
nue. only with the idea of protection
absolutely eliminated This last diff
ference Is wide as the poles. 1t is
enough Of itself TO condemn the Denter
platform. The one made at Chicago
shows that the Republican party is
broad-minded and intelligent enough to
adapt its policies to the needs of the
country as they develop. That made ut
Denver shows that the Democratic
party is dominated by the same old

A half dozen years ago Mr.. Dooley,"
in one of his delicious Celtic imagin-
ings, prophesied that the time would
come when the world would speak OF
the Nebraska candidate as that gr-
rand ould conservative Willyum jim
nings Brine"
IL the Irish philosopher had confined
his prediction TO Bryan and elimin-
ated the remainder OF the world he
would stand to-day as prophet with
honor in his own country 1t was a far
cry then To fancy the perennial one in
the pose Of Il conservative. In those
days he was radical OF radicals. 1t
was his job to be radical. He believed
that in radicalism lay his chiefest claim
to unlimited advertising and possible
ultimate victory. He was ready to
drag the sun from the skies and beat
it into red hot letters for the pred
atory everybody -who-had-a-dollar He
yearned to grapple the moon and turn
it around to see IL the other side were
not better side. He was just as will
vamp the monetary system. Anything
looked good to him IL IL were just
radical.
But it's different now. Mr.. Bryan
believes that he haslAeen beaten twice
on the charge of raHcalism In the
Silly watches ad interim he has figured
it out that the radical pose is out OF
fashion. He has discovered that the
American people, in sober judgment.
choose prosperity and peace and plenty
rather than spectacular theories with
resulting ills they know not Of. And so
it is that. knowing these things and
weighing them, Mr.. Bryan has cast off
the flaming. faring garment Of radical
of the conservative. When the Denver
maelstrom assembled 1t was not the
east, but William Jennings Bryan who
sat on the lightning and curbed the
whirlwind. 1t was not delegates from
the Atlantic states. but Mr.. Bryan him
self who softened the radical utter
ances and turned the sensational phras-
ing Of the Democratic national platform.
The firebrand of 90 had become the
fire extinguisher Of 1908. 1t was just
as imperious. just as arbitrary. just as
tyrannical Bryan as Of yore, but 1t
was q new Bryan. The hand had not
lost its cunning But it was pitching
a different kind Of curve.
The change Is not impressive. 1t was
to be expected, and it furnishes Its own
discount Mr. Bryan's radlcalism failed
of its purpose. A similar fate awaits
his conservatism. For the people OF
the Union have learned Mr.. Bryan and
they know that his conservatism Is
like his radicalism-fOr revenue only.

Vice-Consul Murphy. at Frankfort.
Tribune:
"A warm discussion has been going
on for many years In Germany as 10
whether purchasers suffer from the
dealers practice OF submerging aspara-
gus in water to prevent its whitening
or hardening. The plea OF the dealers
has been that soaking asparagus In
water merely keeps 1t fresh In appear
ance without either lessenlng Its ali
mentary value or increasing its weight.
I'm order to put an end to this dis
cusslon. the Gardeners Union deter
mined to submit the question to the ex-
perts Of the experimental institute at
Geisenheim on the Rhine. According
to the Frankfurter Zeitung Drs Win
disch and Schmidt have completed the
experiments with surprising results. 1t
has been ascertained that the absorb
ton of water by submerged asparagus
Is not inconsiderable, the weight being
increased about 10 per cent In two
days. Moreover, 1t loses some of Its nu-
tritious components. especially those
containing nitrogen and mineral mat
ter.
The results Of experiments with as
paragus whose cut surfaces had been
coated with paraffin were exceedingly
interesting. Contrary to expectations,
1t was found that asparagus thus treat
ed absorbed considerably more water
and lost much less Of its alimentary
value than that which was placed I'm

paraffin where 1t had been cut.
Thus ii has at last been authorita-
lively established that the practice Of
keeping asparagus fresh by placing it
in water not only lessons its value as
food. but also defrauds the purchaser

1t might be supposed, from the noise
made by Mr.. Bryan on the subject OF
publishing list of party campaign
contributions, that he represents all the
virtue that can be discovered In this
connection. 1t was only the other day
that he felt called on TO explain that
neither he personally or his paper re-
ccived any part of the campaign cash
sent to Nebraska four years ago on the
strength of the representation TO the
Parker campaign managers that Bryan
would try to carry the Nebraska Legis-
lature as senatorial candidate. As
Nebraska's majority against Parker
was no less than $4,000, il must be re-
marked that whatever became OF the
money, it was obtained by false pre-
was invested In the Bryan campaign
fund Of 1896 by the silver mining in
terests, for Bryan's success meant I'M
limited profits for them.
The worst plague spot in the United
States for campaign corruption fund
is Tammany, an organization without
which the Democratic party would be
in a hopeless condition in the State
Of New York, and nationally. Tam
many rolls in campaign money, fact
that could be guessed from the enor-
nous expenditures and huge salary
list of New York City, whose debt is
rapidly approaching S1,000,OO0O00.
What chance is there that Tammany
will ever publish true statement of
its financing Of campaign? Not one
dollar in twenty that it spends in po-
litical work will ever see the light of
print Mr.. Bryan claims that he was
beaten by the use of money In 1896 and
1900, but the popular plurality against
him was first 100000 and then 10000,
and he must have a low idea of the in
tegrity of the American people If he
thinks these verdicts were purchased.
The Republican party can better afford
