what pipe dream! Why, Sarah, that
county doesn't raise one twentieth OF
the pines produced in America, nor one
tenth the amount raised in ST. Lucie

BRYAN DEFEATED BIZ PARKER
Nebyasban Still a Power in Balti.
more Convention.

Although beaten by majority o,
73 votes, William Jennings Bryan re
manned a powerful factor in the pro
ceedings Of the Baltimore convention
1t is true that his opponents claim
that he could have been beaten by {
much larger majority, and they point
! to the fact that in MIR. Underworld
own state of Alabama he received one
and one-half votes, and that in many
other states he received votes which
were permitted to go to him in order
that his humiliation in Democratic
convention might not be made too
great. But the fact remains that Mr..
Bryan received 500 votes, which is
100 votes more than one-third OF the
membership of the convention. 1t is
not claimed by Mr.. Bryan's bittcrest
enemies in the convention that they
could have withheld from him enough
votes to imperil his control OF one
third of the delegation.
1t follows, therefore, that although
Mr.. Bryan was defeated for the tenn
porary Craftsmanship, the convention
cannot name as the presidential can
didate of the Democratic party man
to whom Mr. Bryan will object as a
"reactionary" Furthermore, Judge
Parker in his address last night on
accepting the chair, took particular
occasion to refer to Mr.. Bryan in the
most complimentary terms and to
urge his unanimous election as chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
which prepares the platform OF the
party. The bittercst fight of the com
mittee will doubtless come over the
tariff plank. Mr.. Bryan's controversy
with Mr.. Underwood and his passing
displeasure with Speaker Clark arose
last year over their radical diffcren-
ces on the question of free raw ma
serial as the corner stone OF the Dem
ocratic tariff temple and he denounccs
the policy which permits tariff for
revenue only" to be made the cloak
for Incidental protection.
Mr.. Bryan declined to accept the
compliment offered him as chairman
Of the committee on resolutions and
can now continue his fight against
his opponents on the floor of the con-
vention.

ROOSEVELT NOT A SPORTSMAN.

Mr.. Roosevelt, who likes to pose as
one favorable to sport, and at all
times uses the language of the ring
to give piquancy to his political ex-
pressions, is himself lacking in the
ramcncss and fairness that constl-
tutes true sportsman.
He went into the fight at Chicago
with drums beating and banners n.y.
inc and with all the acclaim that &C
companies real champion, but when
he saw his chances waning he de-
termined to bolt. Many Of his dele

CHINA MAKES PROGRESS.

Momcntous movements have been
transpiring in China recently, though
they have excited little comment out
side of official circles.
AS soon as the excitement incident
to ahc war between the insurgents
and the Manchu dynasty subsidized and
the dcspotic rule of China gave way
to the establishment of republic,
the worlds interest was turned to
rather moro vivid scenes.
The young patriots of China have
succeeded in impressing the bankers
of the world with their integrity and
the immediate financial necessities OF
the new government have been met,
and the international group Of bank
ers have agreed to make another
emergency loan pending the confer
ence in regard to the large general
loan to China.
A sign of the confidence of the
State Department in the stability OF
the new Chinese government and It's
ability to maintain law and order was
shown in the order issued from the
Navy Department the other day for
the return to the United States of Ad-
miral Sutherland with his flagship
California and the armored cruiser
South Dakota, with the supply ship
Glacier.
With the big cruisers Colorado and
Maryland, which have already return.
cd to the Pacific coast, these vessels
were rushed to China from Hawaii
several months ago when conditions
looked very dark for the Chinese re
public.
The United States has long beer
China's best friend, and this expires
sion of confidence by withdrawing the
protective fleet sent there in moro
troublous times, will doubtless be Ia
vorable to China in the eyes of othel
nations.
The international bankers evident
" feel satisfied that wel!-construct
cd government will rise in China, ant
though there are still opposing fac
lions and some disturbances, the out
look for a regenerated China l;
brighter than at any time since tn
movement to establish republic.

Shows Nerve, Then Eaints.

Camden, n. AT the point of a re-
volver, Mrs. Mary Borich of Master
street and Ferry avenue the other aft
ernoon compelled thief to drop
some jewelry he had stolen after he
had engaged board at the house, and
then hustled him into the street. Hard
" had the thief disappeared before
the woman tainted, but soon was re-
vived by neighbors. Early in the day
a well-dresed youth, who gave the
name of StanislaUs Sobliski, was di-
rected to a room upstairs. Mrs. Bor'
ich later became suspicious and caught
him in the act of taking jewelry from
her room.

Roosevelt's friends organized a meet
ing and named him as their choice, tc
be nominated at a convention of Pro-
gressives, to be held later on. Tho
colonel accepted the honor with the
understanding that when the Progress
sive, or third party, convention met
and anyone was found more suitable
than himself to make the race, he
would retire.
Thus the colonel leaves loophole
of escape from what is likely to prove
a forlorn hope.
In the flush and excitement Of de-
feat at Chicago when indignation and
resentment was high, the rally Of his
friends was an easy matter; but in
the cold light of defeat thirty or sixty
days later when the solemn facts have
become hard and concrete truths, the
the selfish course Of Mr.. Roosevelt IS
obliged to be understood even by his
most ardent followers. The same mo-
tives of revenge will have cooled and
the enthusiasm, which the colonel in
Chicago once scattered, cannot be
gathered together again.
Roosevelt is clearly defeated in his
loftiest ambitions and from it he can
not irecover. 1t is doubtful if the
convention ever assemblies.

Bryan's Objections to Parker.

William Jennings Bryan, in his
speech at the Baltimore convention
in opposing Alton B. Parker as tenn
porary chairman among other things
said:
We have been passing through a
great educational age and the Demo
cratic movement has been sweeping
all obstacles before it around the
world. In Russia, emancipated serfs
have secured right to voice in their
government. In Persia, a people have
secured constitution. In Turky the
man who was in danger every hour
Of being cast into prison without ar
Indictment, or beheaded without
charge against him, now has some in
fluence in the moulding of the laws
And China, the sleeping giant OF the
Orient, has risen from slumber OF
two thousand years and today is
republic waiting for recognition.
And while the outside world has
been marching at double quick in the
direction of more complete freedom
our nation has kept step, and on no
hther part of Gods foot-stool has
popular government grown more rap
idly than now. In every state the
fight has been waged. The man
whom l present has been the leader
of the progressive cause in his state;
and once joint leader in the nation.
l challenge you to find in 16 years
where the candidate presented by the
committee has, before an election.
gone out and rendered effective ser
vice in behalf of any man who was
fighting the peoples cause against
plutocracy.
(Cries of Parker; hoote and cheer
ing) This is the situation which VIC
have to meet. The Democratic party
has not been the r-(reneWcd
hooting, cries of Parker and cheering
for Bryan.)
The chairman: Gentlemen, Nr.
Bryan has the floor.
Mr.. Bryan: The Democratic party
has led this fight until its action has
stimulated a number of Republicans
to initiate them. | will not say they
acted as they have because we actee
first; | would rather say that they at
later hour than we have caught
the spirit of the time and are now
willing to trust the people with the
control of their own government,
We have been travelling in the vii

promised land During all the weary
hours of darkness and progressive
Democracy has been the peoples o.
fire by night; l pray you delegate:
now the dawn has come, do not roi
our party of the right so we'll earnec
to be the peoples pillar Of cloud by
day.
The speech of Judge Parker as
temporary chairman Of the conven-
ton, was plea for party harmony
He took the Republicans to task fo1
failure to reduce the tariff and curt
the trusts, went at length into the ca
reer of Theodore Roosevelt, and dwell
on the peril of a presidential thlrG
term.

suggestion that his defeated rival toi
