WHAT WATTERSON SAYS.

The result shows that we diversified
the spiritual and understood the mater
lal in the hearts and minds of the peo-
pie. They were deaf alike to precedents,
to reason and to eloquence; for nothing
could surpass, as nothing has ever
equaled, the personal canvass of Mr..
Bryan; it's wondrous lucidity and power
of statement; its splendid intellectual
and physical endurance; it's unanswer-
able argument. Nor did Ignatius of
Loyola sweep through world of in
carnate evil bearing the Cross of Jusus
to triumph with greater force of ins2ir-
alton and truth than did the heroic son
Ut Nebraska traverse land gaping with
curiosity, but too busy over it's work
and play to consider any danger to the
immortal soul of it's constitutional
fabric.
There is something yet better than
being president of the United States,
and that is the real sense of duty done.
Tilden will live in history, when Hayes
is forgotten or exercrated. History will
say Of Bryan that in three great popular
movements, clouded sometimes by errors
of judgment and INSTRUCTED always by
corruption-as we now know by in
surmountable corruption-he led SUBJ
timely; that he set before his country
men the standards alike of God and
Truth; and that he went down beaten
with clean hands and high repute, car
rying with him the homage of patriotic
men. In the national government the
oligarchism Of privilege finds itself
stronger entrenched than ever before.
Its fortress is assailable. 1t can never
be driven out short of it's own dissolu-
tion or some dire catastrophe bringing
ruin in it's train. Yet vanquished as the
democratic party is, it has not been SO
one with itself in many a day and it
owes renewed loyalty to the public
service. This should be maintained
equally in defeat and victory. There
must be systematic and enlightened
opposition. How this shall arrange
itself and who shall lead it, will appear
in good season.-Louisville Courier
Journal.

WHAT THE RETURNS SHOW.

For all friends of reform and progress
sive policies, whether they be demo-
Gratis or republicans, there is much
satisfaction to be had from study of
the election returns, and this notwith-
standing the defeat of Mr.. Bryan.
The great body of the nation and
this includes everything west of the
Alleghanies and part of the Atlantic
seaboard, is inclining Enthusiastically to-
ward the principles and policies for
which Mr.. Bryan contended So splen-
didly in the campaign that is closed.
AS compared with the vote of 1904
the republican majority is reduced 25,-
600 in West Virginia, 100000 in Ohio,
$4,000 in Indiana, 100000 in Iowa, 10000
in Michigan, $4,000 in Wisconsin, 10000
in Minnesota, $4,000 in South Dakota,
100000 in Kansas, $4,000 in North Da-
kota, $4,000 in Washington. In Colorado
a republican majority Of $4,000 is con-
verified into democratic majority, and
in Nebraska a republican majority of
$4,000 becomes democratic majority of
1000 or 5000.
Even in the far east the Bryan candi-
dacy was stronger than the Parker
candidacy in Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Massachusetts,, New Jersey,
Rhode Island and Vermont, and in
Pennsylvania republican majority of
more than 100000 is reduced almost 80
per cent.
New York is the one important state
where the democratic party shows sub
stantial losses, and it is New York that
is the capital of the entrenched plutoc-
racy, and where it's influence is great
est.
Not only is there cheer in these
Bryan gains, but in tho election of
democratic governors in Ohio, Indiana,
Nebraska and Colorado, which states
now have republican governors. The
democrats lost governor in Missouri,
it is true, but Hadley, the republican
candidate, represented the best type of
progressive republicanism.
There will be a betterment of the
senate, too; slight, but none the less
precious. The reactionary Hemenway
will be replaced by radical democratic
senator from Indiana, and Chamberlain,
another Bryan democrat, will enter the
senate from Oregon. Cummins of Iowa
will take the place made vacant by the
death of Senator Allison and there is a
likelihood that some man a little less
ooAoNAOoo w S3OOSA SlOlLCuouip Uudu
Joseph Benson Foraker will be chosen
from Ohio.
God moves in mysterious way his
wonders to perform. The leaven Of
Organism has worked powerfully in this
nation OF ours in the last several years.
1t is working yet, and will continue to
work. So plain is the tendency toward
many, if not most of the Bryan policies,
that it will be powerful stimulant to
more of progress and less of reaction
in the national government under Mr..
Taft's administration. If that admin
istration, in any marked degree, disap-
points the aroused expectations of the
people the revolution so many of us
hoped for IN 1908 may prove to have
been deferred for short time and not
at all defeated.-World-H Herald.

For passing bogus Merchants &

aged proprietor of the Draper lodging
house. on South Second Avenue, yes
. terday evening, a man giving his
name as Thomas O'Brien is in the
city Jail, awaiting trial on a INSIDE
meanor charge. o'Brien rendered the
bad bill in payment for a room for
the night, receiving good money In
change. The bogus bill, being nei-
Their a counterfeit or a forgery, does
not come within the statutes of the
state relating to felonies, and the only
charge upon which O'Brien can be
tried, according to statements made
by lawyers, is that of obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses. The bill
was one of a number of bank notes
issued by Georgia bank during ante
bellum times. They were never deliv-
| cred to the bank, being printed on
only one side. Two of them are past
ed together and passed on the unsus-
pecting. County Attorney Gray will
file information against O'Brien and
his trial will take place as soon as
possible-Pocatleio Tribune.

Disaster Areas.

Comparisons are being made between
the Boyertown theater holocaust and the
Ircauois horror. and also with the Brook
lyn theater burning in 1876. The former
disaster cost approximately 600 lives and
the latter 295 The Boyertown catastro-
phe thus far is known to have written
a death record of about 175. and the tota!
may reach 200. Considered statistically,
therefore 1t is rated as secondary In the
rang. of fire horrors. This however. is
an erroneous measure of estimation The
Boyertown fire destroyed something like
per cent of the entire population of
the community. The losses in Chicago
and Brooklyn were. in proportion TO the
local population. of infinitely less weight.
An instance of this local-proportion meas
urc was afforded by the burning of the
steamer Slocum few years ago in the
East river. New York. when 1000 lives
were lost. Practically all of the victims
lived within a narrowly circumscrroed
neighborhood of the east side of the city,
a veritable community. allied by language
ami religious ties. Thus practically the
entire weight of this catastrophe fell
upon the few thousands constituting the
colony. While the disaster. of course.
greatly shocked the entire city of New
York, and. indeed. the whole country. 1t
was not felt as a personal sorrow save
by the denizens of the region described.
and there the percentage of mourning was

the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
With another Congress getting to work
there arises once more that inevitable
question about the propriety of imposing
a heavy duty on imported works OF art.
Although nearly everybody interested In
the creation, sale or collection of art OBJ
jects agrees that the tariff schedules af-
fecting them are needless. harmful and
discreditable. Congress has never listened
TO reason on the subject. Perhaps this
unresponsiveness is due to the supposed
slight Importance of the matter in COM
parison with many problems with which
the congressional mind has to wrestle.
But we fear that two misconceptions have
hindered the reform far more than Its
superficial triviality. Members of Con-
gress may fancy that the duty-free i'm
portation of works of art would deal a
death blow to the American infant in
dustries" Of painting and sculpture. and
that for the protection of strugg Ing ma
tive artists. therefore, the tariff should
be maintained. The other misconceptien
finds utterance in the theory that art OBJ
jects should be subject to a duty because
they are luxuries, like diamonds and au-
tomobles Year in and year out Ameri-
can artists have been exposing the weak
ness of both these errors. and 100 college
presidents. countless civic societies and a
country wide American Free Art League
are all demanding removal of the duties.
