A JUST RERUkE.

There IS no man so great but what he may be brought down to the common plane by a just and Hitting rebuke administered to him by his fellow man. For some reason known only to MT. William J. Bryan, he has formed a viru- lent dislike for Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, at one time Democratic candidate for the presidency. We say unknown reason because we can not be brought Io the belief that this dislike is brought on by political Jealousy or by personal malice. Sufficient to say, that whatever may be the dislike on the part of Bryan towards Judge Parker, il was of sufficient import to cause Inc Nebraska statesman to make a personal matter of the New Workers appointment as tempo rary chairman of the Baltimore convention, imprIling him lu lake the floor in all effort tO unScat Judge Parker. even to offering himself as the instrument with which tO humiliair that diStin- guishcd gentleman.
 Probably Mr. Bryan did not heed the warnings previously given him that any attempt to disturb the prevailing harmon ioaE ,geGling would be met by a $ sig5 rebuke,: or perhaps MT. S3fyhff thought himself too firm -ly entrenched as the leader of the Democracy, to fear a downfall within the organization of which he has beenk the head and inspir- atiOIssfOr sOllong. But MT. Bry- ,sllh etkDned WithouL his host with the rCs"it that he suffered defeat at sine hands; of Judge Parker, who. under ordinary conditions, gould not poll a tenth of the strength conceded to the NcEjras- kan.
 The lesson taught is that the Democracy are in a mood for harmonious and concerted ac- tiOn; no small matter is to side track their onward march to vic tory; no personal animOsiticS are to bar inc road to the pariy's suc- cess. The differences between Mir. Bryan and Judge Parker must :n their very nature have. been personal, for iha position given tha latter as temporary chairman gave him neither power for good or evil. save that il recognized d small but powerful element of the party; il also took into consider alton modest demand of the greatest stale in the Union, with Oui committing or compromising either the convention or any of the candidates seeking honOrs before that great dclibcrativr body.
 Fudge Parker as temporary chair nan will not have the nam ing of a single committee; there VIII Df nb uucSlloil aIlSlnS DE which any political views he may entertain can possibly embarrass the majority of the delegates in their beliefs. The rules govern ing the Democratic convention are as immutabIc as the laws of the Mrdcs and Persians and no deviation from them can occur without the assent of inc major ity of the delegates. These mat tcrs considered. il must bc plain ly seen that MT. Bryan injected himself into Squabblc and in dulgcd in glarinG personalities when the olive branch of pcac . and the spirit of good will to- wards all men would have much better subscrvcd the purpose.
 The T., suit has been a well mcr- tied rcbukc to the favored son. We sincerely hope the lesson taught will render him more am nable in the future to the plainly expressed wishes of hi party. It is unfortunate that MT. Bryan had to be taught the line of dcmarkation existing between u leader and boss.
