MR.. BRYAN GIVES OUT
POST-ELECTION STATEMENT

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7.-William j.
BRYAN has issued the following state
ment.
''The election has gone against us
by a decisive majority. The returns
are not all in, and it is impossible at
present to analyze them or to say what
causes contributed most to the Repub-
lican victory We made our fight up
on platform which embodies what
we believe to be good for the Ameri-
can people, but it is for the American
people themselves to decide what laws
they desire and what methods of gov
eminent they prefer. 1 have faith that
the publicity we asked for will yet
commend itself to the American peO-
pie, that the election of senators by
the people will yet be adopted, and
that the iniquities Of the trusts will
arouse an opposition that will result
in the elimination Of the principle Of
private monopoly. I am confident
that the people will see the necessity
for the labor legislation and the tariff
reduction which our platform demand
ed. am confident, too, that the ed
vocational work done in this campaign
will result in securing greater protec-
ton to bank depositors. The above
are the most prominent reforms for
which we labored and believe that
these reforms will yet come, together
with more effective regulation of rail-
roads and independence for the Fill
pinOs.
II desire to commend the work of
our national committee, I am entirely
satisfied with Mr. Mack as the chair
man, and with the members of the
committee. do not see how they
could have done more than they did
do, and as for myself put forth every
effort in my power to secure victory
for our cause. The nomination came
from the hands of the voters; have
obeyed their command and have led
as best could. Words will not ex-
press my gratitude for the devotion
which has been shown by millions of
Democrats duringthe past twelve years
Neither am able to adequately ex-
press my appreciation for the kind
words which have been spoken since
election
eff could regard the defeat as a
purely personal one, I would consider
it a blessing rather than misfortune,
for am relieved of the burdens and
responsibilities of an Office that is at
tractive only in proportion as it gives
an opportunity to render larger
public service But I shall serve as
willingly in private capacity as in a
public one. God does not require
great things of us. He only requires
that we improve the opportunities for
service presented by private life.
Comforted at Home
''In this hour Of national defeat I
find some consolation in the cordial
support of my neighbors, by the citi-
zens of Lincoln, and by the people of
the state of Nebraska. With Demo-
cratic governor and Democratic legis-
lature we shall be able to put into
practice so much Of the Democratic
platform as relates to state legislation,
and l trust that our state will set an
example that will be an influence for
good unto the nation.

One radical difference between the
old and the new French law Is the pre-.
MUM which the latter puts upon in
dustry. The German law Is followed
In this important respect, and the prin-
ciple for which a large element Of the
English nation Is contending is estab-
lished. Workingmen are required to
contribute annually during thirty years
per cent Of their wages in order to
qualify them for pension at sixty. But
employers are also made to contribute
equally with their employees, so the
pensioner win really get more than his
own savings when he is too old to
work. Besides, the French government
guarantees to make good any deficit in
the fund and to be consistent will prob
ably go to the length eventually Of
guaranteeing employment in order that
there shall be no break in the thirty
year term Of service required by the
bill.

puels OF the ordinary type over petty
personal quarrels are to be expected
In Russia. Blood runs hot there, and
there is no powerful public opinion to
stamp out effectually this relic OF bar
barlsm. But the recent duel between
two generals over differences Of opin-
ion as to personal conduct at the de.
Tense Of Port Arthur Ii q striking y. Oof
that the sense OF honor has not been
developed there as 1t has In other
countries. Questions Of this kind can
only be settled by courts Of inquiry,
end mistake made by a court can be
rlghted.
In this country the case Of General
Fitz-John Porter dragged on for TWEEN
~ years, but the aggrieved was finally
indicated. Had he taken up the pls-
tol In 1868, when he was dismissed
from the service, it would have been
considered as the desperate act of a
guilty man. and he would never have
had the rehearing which General Grant
secured for him years afterward and
which established his innocence. Per-
haps one-half Of the countrymen OF
Admiral schley believe that he was
wronged by the court Of inquiry which
investigated the naval campaign OF
1898. but resort to a challenge would
have alIenated his sympathy and de-
stroyed his case completely. AS 1t
stands, history win surely place the
honors Of that period where they be-
long duel settles nothing but as to
which is the best shot or swordsman.
On the other hand, court Is an au-
thority before which the noblest man
may bow. and II the court errs the
shame Is not on the head OF the victim
Of the error, but upon the court.

Is the logical reasoning of the Tri-
bune's argument. The machine
method whore a few politicians can
get together and nominate a ticket
in advance of the conventions SENS to
suit II better than the popular nomin-
alton by the people. We are fire to
admit that the direct primary will
cut on lot OF graft which unprin-
cipled newspapers have been fatten-
Ing on for years. Machine methods
are the corrupt methods.

OLD DEMOCRACY.

Tho Parma Herald measures up
what II believes constitutes true
democracy in the following language:
Whatever else they may be.-and
we believe they will measure up to
the moral standard of any follower
OF Dubols--Judge Perky, Karl
Paine, Joe Pence. John Nugent and
Jim Hawley are Democrats. They
were reared In the faith, aud didn I
acquire It for the sake of Office"
They are democrats because they
were reared in the faith: because
they suekled at democratic breast
and drank democratic milk and not
because there are principles In demo-
oracy In which they believe They
belong TO the class OF democrats who
do not welcome new recruits or new
blood to the party. because 1t might
interfere with some OF their antlquat-
cd ideas and cause some OF the moss
70 fall from their backs. Such dem
ocracy may be the genuine old Bour-
bon kind, but It Is not the modern
article such as Is advocated by Bryan
and his followers.
Democrats and republicans were
reared from infancy In the days OF
old before people generally began
to think for themselves. Modern
free thought Is working revolutions
along many lines.
