Brysn's election. They are justified
in feeling that way, in view of Mr..
Bryan's platform declaration and his
speeches. Should he fail to make good
his promise, they might take to the
bushes and undo all that the republic
can party has accomplished in years
of effort toward educating them for
self-government. OF course, under
such circumstances. President Bryan
would be compelled to call upon the
hated army and navy to bring the little
brown brother to a sense of his posi-
tion again. Such action would be en-
~barrassing to Mr.. Bryan and his anti
i%mperialist friends up Boston way, but
the healthy prospect of such a condition
only illustrates the difference between
democratic loose talking and republic
can sane action, and the difference is
equally as marked on practically every
issue between the republican and DEM
ocratic platforms.

HI OMAHA r

The withdrawal of the representa-
tives of the Commercial club from the
deliberations Of the self-styled charter
revision commission accentuates the
situation in regard to the city's bill of
rights. The self-constituted commits
sion has been busy for a great many
weeks ~endeavoring to frame the re-
visions necessary, or thought to be
necessary, in the document, The
difficulty is that too many cooks spoil
the broth, "'and too many people with
divergent ideas are working on a task
which at present they seem likely not
to accomplish.
Some changes are needed in the
Omaha charter, and these are plainly
pointed out by experience and will
probably be achieved at the coming
session of the legislature, but any gem
.eral revision of the charter can scarcely
be accomplished along the lines now
being followed. The suggestion of
the Commercial clubs executive COM
mittee is pertinent. 1t is proposed by
the Commercial club that the city coun-
Gil provide for a commission properly
constituted which shall have charge of
framing a charter for the government
of the city. The work of this COM
mission would be taken to the legisla-
ture and by the legislature enacted.
1t might be well to further provide
that the charter revised by the city
councils commission should be pre-
scented to the people for adoption at a
special election before 1t is offered to
the legislature for enactment into law.
The home rule thai Omaha really
requires is recognition of the right of
the citizens to make their own charter
without legislative interference. This
could be brought about in any one of
several ways, and it's great advantage
would be that when the charter has
been framed by a properly selected
commission and adopted by the citi-
zens it would be largely removed from
the danger that now besets it from the
thinkers who biennialIy delight in MAX
ing over the various provisions of the
document. 1t is not expected that
such a charter would answer all pur-
poses or would satisfy all people, but
it would meet most of the requirements
of the case. The suggestion of the
Commercial club to the city council is
along right lines and opens the way
to desired results.

CUBAN CONDITIONS CRITICAL,

hC@NS ~ IVA
Washington officials who have given
close attention to colonial affairs and
the relations between the United States
and Cuba are having much difficulty
in maintaining their air of optimism
over the prospects of a stable govern
ment being established in Cuba as a
result of the coming presidential cleo
tions on the island. Recent disorders
on the island have emphasized the
prospect of marked discomfort with the
election results, whatever they may
be, and all indications are the contest
will be an exceedingly close one.
These disorders have strengthened the
claims Of many Cubans that at least a
portion of the American troops now
on the island should be retained for
an indefinite time after the election
and they have also shown that there
has been but little, If any, improve
ment in Cuban political conditions
since the second American occupation
took place.
The situation has become so acute
that the authorities have changed the
first plan which contemplated a COM
plete withdrawal of American troops
from the island. and it is now planned
to have some of them remain for an
indefinite period. 1t is a moot ques-
ton as to how long the Cuban gov
eminent can maintain itself indie
pendent of the United States after the
re-establishment of the new govern
ment. The most optimistic predict
that the new government will be able
to hold its own for a couple of years,
if business conditions remain good,
while others believe that the with
drawal of American troops will be the
signal for fresh disorders that will
necessitate speedy reoccupation. All
factions are practically agreed that re-
occupation will follow in a short time,
in any event.
Under the circumstances, the United
States may as well prepare for a long
siege with the Cuban question. No one
desires either annexation or permanent
occupation, for the purpose of terri
torial extension, but the national
obligation to Cuba which came as a
heritage OF the war with Spain must
be discharged. The problem for the
next administration and congress is to
decide whether steps toward annexa-
ton shall be taken or the Cubans given
a third chance, should the coming gov
eminent fail, to show their capacity
for self-government. Tests thus fan
indicate i~ncapacity for self-govern,
ment. This, added to the fact thai
the business interests of the island are
anxious for annexation, on commercial
grounds, tends to strengthen the belle.

Eastern democrats Of the Cleveland
school who are getting into line for
Mr.. Bryan-with the purpose of show
ing regularity" credentials when the
time m for recognizing the party
after Mr.. Brysn's third defeat-hsrdly
will find any keen delight in reading
the 1908 platform of the Nebraska
populists, in which Mr.. Bryan is
warmly endorsed as the best repre-
sentative" of populist principles. This
endorsement will be all the more en-
barrassing to these eastern democrats,
as they are industriously trying to
make themselves and the public believe
that 1t is a new Bryan" who is leading
the democratic near-hosts this year;
that the old populist Bryan of 1892
and 1896 has disappeared.
AS a matter of fact and record the
old middle-of-the-road populists have
practically disappeared. They have
been swallowed up by Organism.
From the days of 1892, when the pop
ulist national convention in Omaha de-
clared that out of the conditions then
existing: From the same prolific
womb of governmental injustice we
breed two great classes-tramps and
millionaires," Mr.. Bryan has been the
personifcation of populism in the west,
however much he has sought to travel
under a political alias in the east.
That platforms denunciations of cap
i~talists, corporations, trusts, watered
stocks, the demonstration of silver,
the altar of mammon and corruption
funds from m%illionaires" has furnished
Bryan with the texts for sixteen years
of preaching. The government own
ership of railroads was a Bryan addi-
ton. Otherwise, the Bryan of 1908 is
the same Bryan who supported Weaver
in 1892 and has persistently cham
pioned populism ever since. To those
who know him he is the same old
Bryan.

What has become of the guarantee
plank? Two months ago It was on top
of Mr.. Bryan's pile of paramounts, the
trustiest' blade of the whole collection. Now
it has lost edge and point and has accumu-
lated rust. Not an allusion to it is its owner
making. 1t is as though it never was.
This makes-or breaks-a record. Nothing
like it has ever happened before. Abandon
ment, was of course, inevitable, Sooner
or latter that was bound to come, but no.
body supposed the blade would be sheathed
before election day. That it would last
until November was generally believed.
Fate has ordered otherwise. Possibly,
the weapon was purloined. Haskell may
have carried it back to Oklahoma with him,
where it belongs-they like it there. But.
whatever has become of it, the story is
pathetic. Almost as pathetic as: "If I I'm
so quickly done for, 1 wonder what l was
begun for"
Even government ownership was not so
harshly treated. 1t lasted nearly a year.
Free silver survived, as it were. its own
death. Other paramounts have been
treated considerably. They rave been
mercifully chloroformed and more or less
reverently Inferred. Not one of them was
strangled in the cradle.
Mr.. Bryan becoming heartless. He is
losing his paternal Instincts. He is ceas.
ing to care what becomes OF his offspring.
He is as inhuman as the Russian mother
who threw her children to the wolves, lest
she be herself devoured.

The Socialists Thi. Year.
New York Tribune (rep.l.

New YORK Tribune (rep.).
The enthusiasm with which the socialist
candidate for president, Eugene ". Debs,
was greeted in this city on Sunday suggests
that his party may realize it's hope Of
greatly increasing its vote this year. At
any rate it serves to remind the public
that the socialists are carrying on a more
extensive and energetic campaign that ever
before. In 1900 Debs received 1854 votes
for the presidency. In 1904 his vote had in
creased to 402, 2S3, and 1t is the hope OF the
party that It will pass the million mark
this year. 1t is putting forth exceptional
efforts, for 1t feels that circumstance are
favorable to gaining converts. The fl
nancial panic is expected to help the party,
for the socialist argues that panics are
caused by the present individualistic organ
ization OF industry. Efforts are being made
to reach those who are out OF employment.
because It is believed that they will lend
a ready ear to a doctrine that proclaims
that periods OF enforced idleness are UNI
necessary and that with industry socially
organized the business Of the world would
run on al even keel Indefinitely. The whole
party is excited over what it regards as
its rare opportunity to make an impress
sive showing on election day, and that
excitment accounts for the extraordinary
scenes which attend NJ. Deb's nomination
and his Sunday reception in this city.
