BrYani1ed Democracy.

In the complete triumph of Mr.. Bryan
at Denver we have the co1summation
of a movement begun twelve years ago
In the National Democratic Convention
at Chicago. This movement has been
nothing less than the overslaughing of
democracy by populism. The spirit of
populism achieved a victory in the NOM
nation OF Bryan il 1896. Again it
achieved victory in his nomination in
1900, accompanied by full Endorsement
of the radical 1896 platform. In 1904
the more conservative forces of de-
mocracy dominated the hour, winning
over Bryan at the st. Louis convention.
But it was the last stand of old democ-
racy; and with the defeat of Parker
Its last hope of party dominance and of
popular success crept into its grave.
Since the overwhelming defeat of
Parker, conservative democracy has
been a thing without a prospect or a
hope. To-day Organism, which is only
a synonym for popu;ism and radicalism,
is in complete command of the situa-
ton. OF the old time democracy. the
democracy of the day of our grand
fathers, the democracy OF Cleveland,
and-to bring the case up to date-the
democracy of Judge CARRIER of Cali
fornia, of Asahel Bush of Oregon. Of
President Eliot of Massachusetts. there
Is nothing left but the memory. He
who to-day calls himself a Democrat
must confess himself supporter of the
whole scheme of extreme policies once
named pOpulism, later characterized as
Organism. and now fairly entitled. since
final triumph yields possession. to the
name if not the fame of democracy.
The Democratic party Of to-day is
not the Democratic party of another
time. 1t is another thing. founded in
different conceptions, prompted by other
motives, aiming at other ends. 1t is
in truth nothing better than populism in
the stolen garments Of historic democ.
racy. And since the Democratic party
of today is no longer the Democratic
party of tradition and of conservative
principle, it affords no place or stand
ing room for Democrats or the old fash
ion Your conservative Democrat like
those we have named must either accept
populism, Organism, radicalism, or he
must seek new political affiliations. He
has no chofce-he must change his prin-
ciples or change his pary.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

The Bull Run Battle.

The first star that shed its luster on
the Union arms was that OF General
Mcclellan, the young Napoleon of the
West, whose victories in Western vir-
ginia made his name household
word. He was the first to propose a
comprehensive plan for aggressive
movements against the Rebellion. and
coming from one OF the youngest sol
diers OF the army, II Is not surprising
that General Scott. with his sensitive
ness as to advice from those of less
experience, rejected 1t, ano presented
comprehensive plan of his own. theI

crushing the Rebellion.

and probably gave little attention. to 1t.
He then chung to the hope that no
such general military movements
might be necessary to attain peace
His belief was that shared by most Of
the prominent men of the cabinet that
a successful battle aid the capture Of
Richmond would bring peace. He had
| no occasion, therefore, to exercise his
authority as commander-in-chief, be-
yond comforting with General Scott
and the Secretary Of War. Had he
understood the issue then as he uhder-
stood 1t a year or more later, hazard
little In saying that the first battle Of
Bull Run would have been differently
fought, and with almost reasonable
certainty of the defeat OF the insur-
gents.

then assumed the authority as COM

An excellent operation in banking is
that related of General Schoepf, in
Kentucky. When the General arrived
iIi the neighborhood of London after
the Wildcat fight, he found that Zolli-
Golfer had been levying on Union men
for provisions, forage, transportation,
etc, and had paid them in Confederate
bords. Initiating an example which
the secessionist had set he issued
bonds for similar supplies In the
meantime, he assembled the Union men,
and, opening an exchange Office for
their benefit, set at defiaLce all bank

at par, and supplying the Union men
with good Ohio and Indiana mohey

presented their bills. he paid them of

enough to be thankful for the arrange
ment, but that wasn't his fault.

How workers Are Aided.

How Workers Are Aided.
The Department of Commerce and
Labor is doing service for the cause
at the time the department was es-
tablished, although that is only live
years ago. Secretary Straus Las
started out TO find employment for
many of the idle workers. and at the
same time to aid the employers who
want workers and who do hot know
where to look for them. He has just
mailed over 100000 double postal
cards to rural employers all over the
country, asking how many persons
they want. and what sort of work
they have to do. The answers which
be will receive will be communicated
TO the great business centers Of the
country. where the idle workers re-
which will doubtless enable many of
the present Idle persons to get work.
This is a large task, but the de-
partments chief has organized the
machinery to perform 1T. His object is
to shift the present mass of idle per-
sons to the places which are waiting
for them, and thus will benefit worker
and employer. The immediate object
of the new departure is TO furnish
workers for the harvest fields. At this
time almost every year. or a few
weeks later than this, there are loud
appeals from the wheat fields OF III
nois, Missouri, Kansas and the other
states of the Central West for men
to aid in gathering the crops. The
closing of some of the factories in the
present business setback ought to
make workers for the harvest fields
little more plentiful than in recent
years.
But the difficulty is to bring the
men who want work and the men
who are looking for workers together
This is easy in the large centers,
where in the most active of seasons
some idle persons can be found. But
such persons are seldom met with in
the rural regions. When the farmer
needs extra help one way in which
he expects to get 1t is by advertising
In the newspapers of the big towns
nearest to him. But the Department
of Agriculture has set out to sim
plify his task, and that of the workers
who seek employment. 1t is to be
hoped that it will succeed. The coun-
try will watch the experiment with
much interest. Secretary Strauss

Those who have urged tariff revision

that their success in forcing it produces
results the opposite Of those they have
predicted. One thing is tolerably GER

blunder OF depriving American indus

Reasonable and Fair.

Perhaps the declaration In regard to
the tariff Is second to no other para
graph Of the platform. Pledging the
Presidential nominee as soon as he be-
comes President to call special session
Of Congress for the purpose of revising
the tariff, 1t proceeds to declare In def
lite the unequIvocal terms how that
revision shall be done. The differeoces
between the cost OF production at home
and abroad with a reasonable profit Is
to be the measure in determining how
high the tariff is to be fixed for each
article enumerated, and this will satisfy
the manufacturer, the workilgman, ar.
the farmers Of the country, for it in
sures the home market to home manu-
facturers and producers, guarantees
good wages, and at the same time. and
what is highly important, pledges to
give the protected interests only a rea-
sonable profit. The tariff has been crit
icised mainly because 1t Is alleged that
some protected interests have been able
to secure more than a reasonable profit.
Even If that has been the case. the plat
form adopted last week pledges that
only a reasonable profit shall be Iro-
vided b the tariff schedules. No fair
minded man should ask less and no
honest nan demand more-Davenport

AMI HOLDS UP
SEVEN COACHES IN
PARK

Old Faithful Inn, Yellowstone, wyo..
Aug. PA Mghwayman yesterday held
up seven stage coaches five miles from
Old Faithful Inn and robbed the tour
lists of more than $4,000. The bandit es-
capped.
Two troops of cavalry and a squad
OF government scouts are in pursuit.
The coaches left the hotel in the usual
order at intervals of q few minutes and
were held up, one after another. as fast
an they came in sight.
The highwayman was stationed at q
bend In the road where he was invis-
ible from either direction. At the point
of a rife he lined up the passengers
and, after relieving them of money and
valuables, allowed them to enter the
stage and resume their Journey.
I This performance the bandit enacted
seven times. 1t Is understood that he
collected in all more than Sc, 900, from
about 125 tourists. The fact, that tour
lists in the park are not permitted to
carry weapons made 1t impossible for
any of the passengers Or drivers to Of
fer resistance.

WIFE OF GENERAL
III FOULLY MURDERED

London, Aug. 27.-The wife Of Major
General Charles Edward Lizard was
mysteriously murdered yesterday after
noon in a desolate wood neal Seven
Oaks, which Is a short distance outside
of London.
No trace of the murderer has been
found, but the motive apparently was
robbery, valuable rings having been
taken from the woman's fingers.
The circumstances surrounding the
tragedy are inexplicable. The general
and his wife were about to go OF a
holiday and the general suggested that
they walk from their residence at
Inghtham Knoll, a short distance, to
the golf links, to fetch some things
which they needed from the club house..
a short cut through a wood belonging
to a %neighbor, which the general had
the privilege Of using. Half way along
Mrs. Lizard. becoming tired, decided to
allow her husband to proceed alone,
she declaring her intention to return
home. The general proceeded to the
club house II returned to his resi-
dence by another route.
Finding that his wife had not
reached home he set out in search of
her and was Mortified to find her lying
face downward in a pool of blood near
left her in the wood. Some of the
accounts say that the body was lying
on the balcony of a summer house used
for picnics, while others say it was ly-
ing behind the summer house. AS the
general approached the spot his wife's
favorite terrier rushed to meet him and
then returned, mounting guard over his
dead mistress.
Mrs. Lizard had been shot with a
revolver, one bullet entering the temple
and another striking her behind the
ear. From the position of the body
anna ranflV she had faced her oScoi1-
ant and he had shot her at close quar-
tiers. The bullet entered just below the
left eye. The second shot seemingly
was fired after the woman fell on her
face. Her ham had been pulled back
and three rings wrenched from the ing-
ers. Her dress also was tori almost
from the body. The summer house is a
mile distant from any dwelling.
Mrs. Lizard was a tall, handsome
about SIS years old.

MOROCCO; BROTHER
MULAI ON THRONE

Tangier. Aug. 27.-The defeat of the
sultan, .A.bdel Aziz. by the forces Of
his brother, Mulai Hafid, has been con-
firmed. The sultan of record was seized
on the night of August 10, and most
Of his troops deserted to the side Of
the usurping sultan after the firing of
a few shots. Reports indicate that the
defeat of Abdel Aziz was due largely
to the betrayal of his own tribesmen.
Mulai Haid has been proclaimed sui
tan of Morocco at Tangier, and an
nouncement of the proclamation has
been telegraphed to all parts OF the
country. All the officials who previous
ly had been under the rule or Abdel
Aziz in this city declare that they have
accepted Mulai Hafd as their leader,
thus making him supreme in all the
large cities of Morocco.
