Bryan and Where He Stands.

Mr.. Bryan is no sudden states
man of quick apparition tricked
out in guady colors and aided by
strongest spotlight with panegyric
revealing unknown qualities,
vouched for by one man alone.
The people of this broad land know
him. Never has ne preached de-
molition of State lines and centrali-
cation; never sapping of the con-
stitution by court construction:
never exhibited distrust of the
people who have learned to believe
in him. Neutrality-suspicious. states
men, he has discoursed upon
many problems and analysed many
topics uppermost in the public
mind. Tentative solutions have
been argued, which events rem
dered needless. Now he stands
upon specific platform, and De-
mocracy lodges neither him nor
it.-Pittsburg Post.

has been lost beyond recovery
since the people ha~c found him
out. Many people have always
said that he was y charlatan, bat

believing il.
Yes, he has DONE" something.
He has "duneH the American peo-
pie just a certainly as they have

And if Taft (his man, standing

provement Company TO pay to the
plaintiff certain amounts for land.
and, when the boom" failed. de-
fault was made in the payments
and the suit was instituted. Allof
the stockholders of the defendant
company were made parties to the
suit, and were forced to pay their
proportion of the debt.
The suit was brilliantly contest
cd by an array of attorneys rarely
il ever equalled in any legal action
in Virginia, and friendships of
many years standing were disrupt
ed and bitterness engendered.
No one person or number of
persons can be blamed for the
failure of the BOOM" as it APP
pears simply to have been a case
Of over-confidcnce on the part of
the entire Southern people.
Towns and cities sprung up like
magic, with little or no real basis
for their hopes of success except
the confidence of the people, bat
when the crash came and fortunes
were wrecked, human nature, in
its desire To shift the burden To
ether shoulders, gave voice to the
most grave accusations of fraud
and deceit and misrepresentation
which were never justified by
actual facts.
We are heartily ylad the boom"
and its succeeding legal action have
been finally closed up. and we hope
that every person concerned,
either directly or indirectly, will
lay aside the bitterness which has
50 long ranked in their breasts at
every mention of the boom" and
will renew the friendships which
were so ruthlessly and painfully
broken in anger. After all, there
is nothing in life without friendship
and companionship. No man can
live rightly alone.
The boom has gone. Let us
say Amen, and forget it.

BIGELOW ON BRYAN.

John Bigcl"w. the eminent

says of Bryan:
He is without dispute "A man of
exemplary habits and character.
He owes Ia no mans exertion but
his own three successive nomina-
tons to the presidency by the
Democratic party, and on each
occasion he polled larger popular
vote than was ever polled by any
President of the United Stntes be-
fore Mckinley, whose popular vote
only exceeded Bryan's 500, 900 out
of total Of some 100000. He
has had no patronage to attract
supporters, nor private fortune
with which Ia multiply friends.
To his great credit. be il said also.
that he has earned all the bread he
has eaten from his youth upwards
by his own eXertinns. We may
therefore believe him TO be under

81 HAVE DONE SOMETHING. Z"


President Roosevelt, in his self
assumed role of father confessor
for the American voters, in another
one of his letters attacking the
good faith and intent of the Demo
cratic party, its nominee and plat
form addressed to Senator Knox,
one of the millionaire Senators
from Pennsylvania (who boasts the
euphonious name of Philander),
berates Mr.. Gompers for telling
the truth and tries to muddIe the
political waters 10y a display of
rabid verbiage which we think will
fall fiat. Incidentally, we may
remark that the President gave
the letter out for publication, al
though he announced few weeks
ago that he would write no more
letters in the campaign.
In the course of this wonderful
letter, the President says, Il have
done something"
1t is to be supposed that he
places his accent upon the personal
pronOun, as he goes on further to
intimate that Mr.. Gompers and
Mr.. Bryan have done nothing and
will do nothing.
He shouldhave placed his empha-
sis upon the Done" for he has
done" the American people to a
brown turn in more ways than one

the role of dictator. He did" the
