The most extensive and most carefully
planned movement for twenty years
against President Diaz and his govern
ment has miserably failed. Railroad and
telegraphs put the revolutionary band at
a hopeless disadvantage when the govern
ment has, as in Mexico, a well-drilled and
well-armed force, organized on the lines OF
an efficient constabulary.
The revolutionary hands in northern
Mexico, though they operated in a region
where there is and always will be dissatis-
faction with the Diaz regime. have been
dispersed and driven across the frontier.
The army and the better classes have re.
mained loyal. Mexico has out Of IL, coo, 900
a population OF about 100000 more or
less educated property holders with their
families and 100000 more made up Of the
mechanics and small shopkeepers class.
These are, perhaps, half of them white and
half Of mixed Indian and Spanish ancestry.
Both are satisfied with Diaz He has
kept the path open TO the ambitious and
loyal and made all secure in their prop
erty or business. The remainder of the
population, some l~l,OOO,O0. working In
| dams, have as yet neither education nor
aspiration. In the propertied and trading
classes some political activity exists, but
It will only appear after Diaz's death and
probably act constitutionally. Today the
elections are all arranged in advance.
Railroads, mines and ranches together,
at least 7OO.OOO,O COO OF American capital,
are invested in Mexico under the stable
order created by President Diaz. A sue
cessful revolutionary movement would
bring heavy losses TO this investment and
in many instances wipe 1t out altogether.

"BOssIsM."

According to the self-constituted
photographer Of his party from whom
there is no appeal. democracy" is de-
fined az "the rule Of the people" and
"bossism" as the rule Of one man"
II Mr.. Bryan's political dictionary
we're to be photographieaily illustrated
from life all he would have to put
after the word "bossism" would be a
picture of his s~o-called democratic
convention in session at Denver.
If there we're ever a perfected ex-
ample OF the rule Of one man, the con
vention at Denver, blindly registering
the edicts from Fairview, constitutes
an example of bossism supreme. The
manifestations Of bosslsm have not
been confined to merely naming the
chairman OF the convention and COM
mittees, and ruling out Of order the
desire OF the last democratic standard
bearer to present a resolution eulogis-
tic of the last democratic president,
but has allowed no detail large or
small to escape.
A great political party in national
convention assembled is supposed to
be endowed with p~lenary powers over
its own organization. Yet in this case
the temporary roll Of delegates, made
up by the duly constituted national
committee, has been amended by tele-
graphic instructions of the big boss.
The unseated delegates submitted
their evidence and arguments to the
credentials committee, but got their
verdict from the man az Fairview, who
had not even seen the briefs. Spokes-
men for different interests desiring
their views reflected in the platform
have been presenting the proposed
planks to the resolutions committee,
deluded by the idea that its members
were free to accept or reject their ad-
vice when. as a matter of fact, the
platform will contain nothing that is
not put there by direction of the boss
500 miles away.
It is notorious that the democratic
party mas always DCVh 'HO "
ridden party in history. Up to this
time, however, the democratic faith
has been built on the doctrine OF
states rights, with one boss holding
undisputed sway over each state.
Using the cry Down with the boss
to overcome the state p%otentates re-
fusinq IN recognize his superior do
minion, the new democratic overload
has finally established a national boss
ism that covers the whole democratic
marty and knows no state line.

EATING THEIR OWN WORDS.
A Characteristic of Democrats Under
Radical Leadership.

hdllSdS SlNS I
That the democratic convention did a
very commendable thing-in all human
probability the only thing It will do that
will meet the approval of the great body
of the American people--when it adopted
resolutions eulogizing the late ex-Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland, goes without say
ing. At the samegtime, it can not be de-
MED that in sosdoing a large majority of
the delegates stultified themselves and ate
the things they have been saying about the
distinguished dead for the last fourteen
years at least.
Ever since 1894, when the free silver
craze came in vogue. the democrats who
comprise the Bryan wing of the party
has been abusing Mr.. Cleveland in bitter
terms, denouncing him in public and private
as a traitor to his party, an enemy of the
people and a tool of Wall street, all be-
cause he refused to forswear the political
faith of democracy's founders and join
will them In the worship of the silver calf.
Mr.. Cleveland's career was handicapped by
more than one serious fault or shortcom-
Ing OF manner and disposition, but even
his severest critics must concede his rug
ged honesty and answering consistency
In politics as well as in his private life;
and this is more thar can be said for the
motely crew of populists, socialists and
apostate democrats who slandered him
alive and who now praise him dead, in
both Instances for the same reason-to
catch votes.
However, It were idle to expect political
consistency or honesty from so-called
democrats who reversed the unbroken re-
cord Of their party for nearly a century as
a sound money party and ran off after
flat money-or from a democratic leader
who declares for government ownership
and other socialistic fads, but is willing to
forego his principles because they can not
win. The democratic assemblage at Dem
yer is an anything-to-win party, but be-
yond that 1t has no fixed principles.

VANDALISM VI,

The destruction of the banner
strung across the street at Lincoln by
the republican state committee, which
has it's headquarters in that city, is an
outbreak of vandalism which all good
citizens should deplore. The repub-
licans have as much right to show
their colors as the democrats either
in Lincoln, in Cincinnati, in New York
or in Chicago, and it is no more dis
respectful for republicans in Bryan's
nominee than it will be for democrats
in Mr.. Taft's home town to show their
devotion to the democratic ticket. We
dare say that the only reason Bryan
banners have not been floating in Gin
cinnati is because the democrats there
have been waiting to make sure who
would be actually nominated in
Denver.
The alleged objection in Lincoln to
banners as street distractions is pre-
tense and sham. The same street
only three months ago was handsomely
decorated with a canvas sign stretch
ing from one side to the other admon-
ishing all good people there to vote
for a clean city" and nc remonstrance
was entered. While Mr.. Bryan and
his friends, of course, disclaim all re-
sponsibility for the destruction of the
Taft banner in Lincoln, the act none
the less reflects no credit upon his in
tense partisans. Tearing down the
banner and setting a match to 1t, al
though less violent, is a piece OF law
lessness of the same warp and wool as
the capture of a negro by a southern
mob and burning him at the stake.
They both seem to spring from a
frenzy In line with the destructive
teachings of present-day democratic
leaders.
But a new republican banner will
go up as the emblem of the party Of
safety, sanity and equal protection OF
the rights of all.

THE BANDY S~CAPEGoAT.

The Guffey incident cannot fail to
impress disinterested observers how
fine it is to have a handy ~scapegoat.
When driven into a place where the
ordinary man would find himself cor
nered, Colonel Bryan has a deft fac
ulty of unloading upon some con-
venient victim.
Not to go back into ancient history,
when the pot of Belmont-Ryan money
sent into Nebraska in 1904 to pave
the way for Bryan to the senate vas
uncovered, a devoted brother-in,la law
turned up to assume responsibility
and to assure the public that the guile
less Bryan did not even have knowl-
edge of the proximity of the tainted
money.
When Colonel Bryan more recently
concluded that it was %expedient to
give another exhibition of his courage
Gus independence of machine DONNA
ton, Colonel Guffey had to take the
blow and go down in a heap, while
Tammany Chief Murphy, Roger Sulli-
van, Tom Taggart and other equally
~unsavory members Of "the old Parker
gang were shown to so~ft-cushioned
reserved seats in the grandstand.
The scapegoat business dates from
Biblical times, and Bryan is a great
student of the Bible.
