Infamy Of Russia.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

FROM the fhllaOelpnla Ledger
A mere statement of the facts. all ema-
mating from Russian sources, in connec-
ton with the trials for the Bialystok
massacres, is one of the most hideous in
dictments ever brought against nation
which is assumed to be within the ranks
of civilization or standardization. In
the Bialystok massacres, which were &C
companied by the most loathsome ex-
hibitions of savage, ruthless butchery,
less, women and the child in arms, the
soldiery, inspired and encouraged by the
reactionaries like the Black Hundreds
killed 73 Jews and 23 Christians and
wounded horribly 81 Jews. After an in
terval of three years for the purpose OF
permitting case to be worked up fol-
the government. the court releases Is OF
the defendants. imposes trifling sentences
of from six months to one years impris-
onment upon IL others, and actually cen
dennis one lone man to three years penal
servitude.

Mr.. Sherman.

Everybody hopes for Mr.. Sherman
early and complete recovery. But even In
that event there must be recasting OF
the program far as his part in the
campaign is concerned. II would be I'M
wise for him to undertake the duties OF a
speaker. for the item of travel would draw
heavily upon his physical resources He
is not, however, a spellbinder, and no
great loss need mark his absence from
the stump. AS an adviser in campaign
work he should prove very valuable. he
is familiar with it on a national scale
from his service on his party's congress
sional committee. and his acquaintance
with the leaders of both parties is AS
wide as that of any man in the country.
His prostration at this time is most re-
grettable and until his physicians have
pronounced more definitely on his case the
republicans will be anxious.

Persia in Reaction.

Reaction nas!been in progress in Persia
ever since the death of the former shah
and the attempt of his son. who succeed.
ed him. TO yield to the demands of the
progressive party. The establishment of
parliament under constitutional guaran-
lees found the people unprepared for such
privilege. and several times affairs have
approached crisis threatening a violent
collision between ithe forces of the crown
and those of the proletariat There was
'leep schisn between factions of the pro-
sressive popular element and at no time
slnce the liberal movement in Persia be-
gan has II been possible to concentrate
he powers of progression sufficiently to
warrant the shah in recognizing it fully
Had the people been better organized the
new shah would probably have yielded to
them even more completely than by pro-
claiming an impotent parliamentary sys-
tenn.
Unquestionably the Russian influence

the capital. 1t would have been in the
lust degree unfortunate for Russia-that
II to say, autOcratic Russia-for Persia to
reach a republican plane or in any degree

sentative government. Russia today re-
cards Persia as one of its outposts and

1t is impossible to foresee the outcome
IN Persia save in terms, at least for a
long time, of reaction. repression and
autocratic domination. The people are Ill
prepared for liberal institutions. Yet the
TACT that they have reached the point of

the shah has just given them will be
reckoned by some students of humanity
as sign that political advancement is

Penny Postage.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
"Of all the wild and visionary schemes
of which l have ever heard or read it is
the most extraordinary" That was the
official comment made by Lord Lichfieid,
postmaster general of England, on Row
land Hills proposal to establish a uni
form postal rate of a penny throughout
the United Kingdom. And that was at q
time within the memory Of some men
still living. only seventy-one years ago.
Despite Lord Lichfield's condemnation OF
it. the scheme was within three years
an established fact. And men who in their
childhood might have seen and read the
first letters ever sent from one part of
England to another for a penny may this
year see and read letters sent around the
globe and practically to every part of the
English-speaking world for the same small
fee The achievement will be not only a
most impressive rebuke of the short
sighted and timorous administrator of two
generations ago, but also an equally i'm
pressive demonstration of the constantly
accelerating progress of civilization.

Prosperity Signs.

One of the railroads with a New York
terminal. in anticipation Of summer of
prosperity. has set all of its machine shops
in operation under full pressure in an ef-
fort to break it's records by repairing in
thirty days a total Of 5000 freight cars.
which have accumulated during the past
eight months as result Of business de-
preston. In the maintenance of way de-
partment 1900 men are at work ballasting
and bringing the line up to standard.
This is reliable sign of the times. On
every hand are to be seen evidences of
prosperous conditions. The crop reports
are encouraging and there is apprehension
even now lest the harvest yield may be SO
heavy as to cause a renewal of the car
shortage cry raised so frequently couple
of seasons ago. Though little has been
heard during the past few weeks Of the
back to work propaganda which origi-
mated in st. Louis there is no doubt that
the movement is still under way, and that
men are returning to the factories stead
lily in numbers which promise that by the
first of July there will be no more than
the normal total of unemployed men in
this country.
There are no indications at present that
the presidential campaign will be marked
by serious industrial crisis. There are
no clouds now on the horizon save that of
the possibility that the teegraphers may
resume their ill-advised strike activity.
Business men are no longer greatly
alarmed by the possibilities of presiden-
tial campaign. and no acute issues appear
this year to be menaced as a result of the
canvassing for votes conducted by the
two great parties. In 1896 there was such
an issue. the outcome of which was await
ed with the keenest anxiety by large cor
porations and small business interests
alike. causing a general depression Of
trade activity for several months.
Confidence has been restored to such
degree that there will probably be little
uelay in full resumption of the currents
Of production and trade. The harvests
will give employment to many thousands
OF men, and three months from now, bar
ring unforeseen disasters and complica-
tons. there should be a higher range of
individual comfort than at any time for
many months. possibly approximating that
which marked the unusual period of pros
perity of 1906 and 1907.

Georgia.

Georgia is mystery She appears to
vote FOR one thing one day. and appears
no vote for the very opposite thing the
hext day. 4 committee should be appoint
sd to ind ont Just where she is at.
Take the record. Last year prohibition
and strict government regulation of pub
4ic utilities. with railroads especially in
view. won. IIOke Smith for governor
swept the state. Upon taking Office he
executed the mandate he had received at
she polls. He signed the prohibition act
ihe legislature passed. and proceeded to
out the screws on the railroads. The
people who had elected him applauded.
\ few weeks ago Gov. Smiths course in
office came up for review. and it appeared
10 be severely condemned. a compare
lively obscure man defeated the govern
or's aspirations for denomination. The
popular Interpretation of the result was
chat sentiment had undergone a change
both TO prohibition and the railroad
question. and that Georgia would now
return TO her former attitude as to both.
Yesterday the democrats met in state
convention to ratify the nominations made
at the recent primaries. to adopt a plat
form of principles, and TO choose dele
gates TO Denver. The nominations were
Dut the interpretations t0dt ndO
been put upon them were completely
repudiated by the platform. That deliver
ance pledges the party afresh to prohibit
ton. and to government regulation of pub
lie utilities. 1t is platform upon which
Gov. Smith could easily have stood for a
second term.
Then as to national matters. Govern
rnent regulation of public utilities. with
railroads especially in view. is Mr.. Bryan's
long suit and heretofore Georgia has been
Bryan stronghold. But after ihdorsing
the Bryan policy the convention refused
10 instruct its delegates for Mr. Bryan's
nomination. They go to Denver foot
loose and fancy free. They are likely to
turn up in the Bryan column but for the
reason that the column at Denver will be
irresistible.
The one reasonable and logical per-
fornance of the convention was the re-
fusal TO indorse Tom Watson for Vice
President. But that was easy. Was the
proposition really a joke? Did somebody
offer the resolution merely to tighten
proceedings which otherwise had been
heavy and dull? Why. did his neighbors
s not know that Mr.. Watson at that
moment was harbor1ng a populist nom-
nation for President2 A prophet should
enjoy more honor in his own country.

The World at Play.

When the days go drifting by.
Leaving June to seek July,
Then this old world stops to play;
Every days holiday.
Builds flower with cunning care;
Scatters it upon the air.
1t can build another one
And it does it, just for fun.
Every days a holiday.
Skies of blue or skies of gray,
Summer smile or summer shower,
Each the fancy of the hour.
Winged creatures course the air
Here and there and everywhere!
Out through space, with sorrow done,
Earth keeps whirling, just for fun!

The Why Of Bryan.
From the Louisville Courier journal

From the LOUISVILLE COurier-JOurnaI.
If the masses Of the democratic party do
not want Bryan. why do they continue to
shout for him and instruct for him? The
politicians are not doing this. AS a rule.
they are against him. 1t is the people. the
plain. common. everyday. democratic peo-
pie, who will not have it otherwise. and
whom the politicians dare not disobey. If
they could they would. The Courier
Journal knows all about it. 1t tried 1t. 1t
tested the case fully. and it knows where
of 1t speaks when 1t says that the setting
aside OF Mr.. Bryan In this campaign for
anybody-no matter whom-meanS de-

nobody. But We are going to elect him
