Mr.. BRYAN in the Rine

This dispatch from Denver is sufficient

interest to the democratic party:
Everybody who knows anything OF

II he would again be candidate

subject time and again he continued
and II the people haven't sense enough
10 understand It. why. what's the use OF
explaining II over again?
"1 am not an out-and-out candidate
but II the people Of this country and my
own party should demand that I make

fought Mr.. Bryan at Denver last year
and deplored his triumph there He is ir
the hands OF fate and his friends. with the
intention of giving both steer from

perience may advise. 1t is plain that he
wants to try again. and is still to bt

presidential calculations

gan work too late. They misjudged the

Fighting 4 Plague.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
War upon tuberculosis Is being wagec

BILE has found in science foe deter

thrown new light upon the disease. and
tho fact has been revealed that con-
sumption is not Of necessity fatal. There
has also been demonstrated the posi-

the tubercular germ was a momentous
step in the battle for human life, and
being followed quickly. by knowledge OF

Parker That Mr.. Bryan could perform
such wonders within the party after his
own two defeats and the one sustained by
Parker and Davis partly through the de-
fection of his friends against his enorts
did not appear to them as possible.
They were somewhat misled, too, by the
failure OF the Madison Square Garden
speech, delivered by Mr.. Bryan on his
return from the journey around the Worlo
to finish him. The prospect for him was
dark for few months-government own
ership and operation OF railroads was re-
jected by many men who had been among
his warmest supporters. The south. a
Bryan stronghold, did not cotton" to the
proposition, and eastern anti-Bryanitee
hoped the south would take alarm and
join in the hunt for a new leader.
The south might have done this. except
that Wall street, with characteristic polit-
ical fatuousness. now got into the game
AS soon as the southern leaders discov-
cred that the trusts were trying to use
them, and their choice was between
the trusts and Mr.. Bryan, SO far as the
democratic nomination was concerned
they forgave Mr.. Bryan his latest vagary
and held on to his coattails. They pre-
ferred another nomination Of the Ne
braskan to appearing as the purchased
tools of a power which might not sup
port the candidate even after Mr.. Bryan
with their aid had been shelved.
But. to repeat, here is fair and full
notice to every democrat In the country
who desires both a new leader and a
new platform for his party. Bryan and
Bryanism are linked together. II one
prevails the other must. A fight against
one is fight against the other. Mr..
Bryan. in no uncertain way. is still In the
ring. -Four years" he says. "is long
time" Yes; as long for his enemies as
for him. They need not be late this
time. We shall see, how they improve
their opportunity.

George Washington.

Although this year the close conjunction
OF the Lincoln centenary and the in
auguration and the coincidence Of the
fleets return with Washingtons birth
day lessons somewhat the public appre-
citation of the days traditional signif-
canoe. nevertheless the occasion does
not pass without appropriate commemora-
ton. In this city meetings are held by
the patriotic organizations, and in the
Senate Washingtons farewell address is
read, in accordance with a custom which.
it is to be hoped, no stress Of legislative
business will ever be permitted to check.
Most of the workers are given holiday,
and the city is decorated in honor of the
day.
George Washington should never be-
come merely a traditional figure, nor
should the anniversary OF his birth be
permitted to fall into non observance.
However long this republic may endure,
whatever the number Of great men who
may arise as occasion calls and as op-
portunities offer, the figure Of Washing
ton will remain undmmed in luster and
eloquent in significance. The country
can never discharge its debt to the man.
who. with skill and courage and unfal-
tering faith, led its armies against the
might Of England, and who later, in
the even more trying times OF peace and
organization, proved leader of rare
wisdom and an executive Of infinite
capacity. Seldom are the qualities OF
generalship and craftsmanship SO per-
fectiy blended In the same individual.
Rarely has the man so completely met
the needs of the hour. whether in the
stress OF battle. in the sufferinEs of win
ter camps or In the difficulties Of state
craft.
Viewed now. nearly 10 years after his
death, George Washington stands as an
inspiration to American youth. Lincoln.
of later service to the country In circum-
stances unforeseen by those who wrought
with Washington. was a product Of his
own environment and of the conditions
which were making for decades for the
crisis through which the emancipator
brought the Union. Washington was q
perfect type Of his own day. as different
as 1t is possible to conceive from the man
Of sorrows who gave his life to his coun-
try. 1t is impossible to compare the two
men. They are. indeed. to be viewed
singly, each with reference to his own
peculiar problems and his own mastery
over himself and those who wrought with
him for the sake of the country. They
were alike, however. in the supreme es-
sential of the patriot. They were single
hearted. unselfish believers In the repub-
lie, and their faith. so differently ex-
pressed and yet so singularly identical.
Is today one Of the strongest forces maxi
ing for the uplift Of the American people.

The Return Of the Fleet.

The better the day the better the oeeo.
As this is one of the greatest days In
our calendar 1t appropriately marks one
o. the greatest Of our naval demonsfra-
fions. On Washington's birthday we well
come the return of the fleet from its
world tour and we do SO In Virginia
waters. In every particular the arrange
n1ents have been we'll conceived.
President Roosevelt is fully entitled to
the satisfaction he must feel. Pity that
a domestic tragedy should cast a shadow
over hin, on such an occasion.
His friends are cheered. his opponents
discounted, by today's magnificent spec
tacle and its meaning. He was criticised
for ordering the voyage. 1t was char
acterized as piece Of folly, which might
produce unhappy consequences. Suppose
foreigners construed the parade as bit
of swagger. Suppose Japan construed 1t
as an offensive warning to her. Sup
pose an accident deprived us Of several
Of our best ships. Suppose this. that
and the other.
The suppositions all failed Swagger
or not. the voyage provoked the liveliest
and most complimentary interest every
where All the way down to and around
'-ape Horn the fleet was welcomed with
enthusiasm. I'm Australian ports 1t was
mobbed with kindness. Japan paid 1t the
highest possible compliment. and solicited
the opportunity. Her waters were not
in the original itinerary. And so on all
the way from start to finish.
The end sees great things accomplished.
We have girdled the globe with good
feeling. We have given our sailors,
officers and men, an invaluable practice.
We have tested our ships in every way
short OF actual engagement, and they
are back under inspection as mt as nd
dies The President. therefore. has good
warrant for the pleasure that must fill
his heart today. His interest in the navy,
which FIRST took practical form In the
months preceding the war with Spain,
reaches in this demonstration its highest
point He ought to be popular with every
sailorman who wears Uncle Sans uni
form,
That the voyage will increase pride in
the navy is certain: and it should assist
IN securing the proper increase in that
arm Of Tie national defense. We should
have more ships. and the very best the
market affords. Presumably, too. We
shall get them not with the aid, but In
spite. Of the noisy persons who. by pre-
dieting war and affronting one Of the
country's best friends, are heartening all
the foes Of a strong navy. The hope
IL in the proper appreciation OF the naVy's
value to us In our new place among the
nations. which is. and must remain. one
of great responsibility. We must be pre-
pared ut all times to hold up our end

Queening Europe.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The reported marriage arranged be-
tween the Portuguese king and English
princess would 60 far toward re-estab-
fishing the old conditions. From a politi.
cal standpoint by which alone marriages

lance appears to be fortunate. The sup

More Race Hatred.

omaha's race riot discloses to the coun-
try at large a hitherto unsuspected
source Of trouble in tho states. In the
south the black people are perennially
the objects Of attack as events bring
them into the unfavorable attention Of
the mob. Out on the coast the racial
animosities center on the Japanese and
the Chinese. Down in New Orleans on
one occasion now historic. Italians were
hunted down like rats by a posse of peo-
ple maddened by the murder of a po-
lice omcial. There have been anti-Pol-
ish rows here and there and various
other nationalities have come in for such
unpleasant attentions. Now 1t Is the
Greeks who suffer. Considering the cos
mopolitan character OF our population.
the possibilities Of race-line cleavage be-
come seriously extended with each such
manifestation OF passion.
One of the most sinister features of
this Omaha affair is the fact that the
riots Immediately followed a mass meet
ing In the course of which the murder
Of a policeman by a Greek prisoner was
denounced by two of the state legislators
and an appeal was made to the race
prejudices of the mob. These men, rep
resentatives Of the community in the law
making body. addressed themselves to the
worst passions Of their hearers They
are guilty of the most despicable crime In
the calendar. that Of melting others to
bloodshed and arson. Will Nebraska toll
crate such performance?
The Greeks of South Omaha according
to the dispatches. have been prosperous.
They have built UP business establish
ments and have maintained themselves
generally in a quiet manner The news
reports mention the employees of the pack
ing houses as being conspicuous in the
ranks Of the rioters. This suggests that
there are labor jealousies behind the race
prejudice.
