The ratification of the propositions to. issue bonds for funding '.the floating debt and for the erection of a high achool building, and the rejection of the city hall and sewer paving bonds, affords gratifying evidence of the gvd business ense on the part of the people who par ticipated actively In the contest With only half a dozen automobiles in scorching operation, the Jungle over au tomobile speed appears to be slightly premature.' For the present at leust it does not jnatter whether the horseless machine runs twelve knots an hour or seven kuots.

BRYAN'S HOPES. Willing: to Prescribe, hot Incertata as to tho Result. New York Mall and Express. -Mr. Bryan ' says in the Commoner this week that the sliver Issue was subordinated to antl-lmperlallsm In the Kansas City platform "because Imperialism was a heart disease." And though the oountry has grown ruggeder and ruggeder in the cardlao region during tho last three years, ha la sure that It Is going to have the same malady In 1?04. and that It will be neces sary to put the silver medicine aside again In order to administer, or attempt to ad minister, another antl-lmpertallstlo pill to a very reluctant patient. In spite of his confidence In his own pre scriptions. Dr. Bryan declines to predict democratic victory next year. It seems that the country resolutely declines to take his medicine. And as It continues to become more vigorous, more solid, more powerful year by year without It, he sees no reason to hope that it will ever be willing- to take It. Nor has he In sight anybody who Is ablo to hold the patient while he forces the medicine down. The most that he can venture to hope, he says, is that "an adherence to light will bring- eventual triumph." Bryan Is war ranted In his confidence In this broad prin ciple. But ha seems to be beginning- to recognize the fact that It Is working against him all the while. If he gives up 1904, as he now seems to do, when does he really expect his heart disease to strike? In 1908? In 1912? Does he Imagine that this great and progressive nation will have more than the dimmest reeoUeotlon of either his It to 1 policy or his Philippine scuttle policy five or ten years from now? As Issues they will be as dead then as the alien and sedition liws and the Dred Boott decision. IX JESTIltO MOOD.

When the em ploye asks union wages and hours and the employer grants these, that Is recognition enough. Recognition further than this can not. with Justice, be asked." A Daniel come to Judgment! If the unions get what they want. Is not that the real recognition?

Surely blessed, beyond compare. Are these, secure In their tranquil lease. Who take, with thanks, what the gods be stow Flower and fruit of the field they till And tarry, content, while the travelers go By the long road over the hill. Never the call to strife they he Never the din of the moiling throng; But the blltheful greetings and songs of at matin and at even song; These, and the mill wheel's drowsy hum. Pipe of bird and babble of rill. And the tinkle of bells, when the slow klne come To the hamlet under the hill. And thus for aye would I have them bide Wholly happy and simply wise; Never to dream of a boon denied. Far adventure or vain emprise. Never a foot from the fold should stray. But I would be the traveler still Who looks and envies and goes his way The long road over the hill. J Need We Advise You? Iajaatlp to tho flam.
