With the roasting-ear season cotuin' mi, plenty of fruit in sight, watermelons nearly ripe and the yellow-legged chickens getting to be about the right sie, Nebraska is not panic-stricken by the pack iug-luiiise revelations. What is the matter with these machine republican politicians? They are wilting like gathered wild llowers and dropping out of the game like the fellow with the small stack of chips. Walt, lirownlow of Tennessee is the latest to be sacri ficed on the altar. Tin; president is now after the beef trust as vigorously as he start after the railroads. And he will quite likely back down as eas ily as he did on the rate question. Teddy is certainly a four-flusher. lie advances like a O.rant ami re treats like a liurnsides. On May 23, Mr. Aldrich reported from the senate committee on tin anceajoint resolution providing, "That purchasers of material am equipment for use in the construc tion of the Panama Canal shall be restricted to articlesof domestic pro i t unction ana tiianutacture, unless the president shall, in any case, deem the bids or tenders therefor to be extortionate or unreasonable." The practice of giving the president power to suspend the operation of a general law for a particular puropse is contrary to our theory of gowr-1 , incut ; and if this resolution passes David R. Francis for Bryan. Another indication that the deiu ocrats are going to be united in 1908 is the return of Hon. David K. Fran cis to the fold. The former gover nor of Missouri attended the demo cratic state convention at Jefferson City yesterday, addressed the at tendants, and the course of his speech said: I wish to ask this convention to send its congratulations to the na tional democracy on the disappear ance of our differences. There are no differences lictween us now. In 1904 what is known as the conser vative element of our party ask that it would beallowed to make the plat form and name the candidates Right liberally did the radical fac tion concede the honor to the con scrvative element.

IT noes an old Missouri demo crat's soul good to read the proceed ings of the democratic state conven tion at Jefferson City Tuesday. There is manifestly great harmony in the party, and the different fac tions have let all past differences fly to the four winds audall are uni nited in one object only redeem the state from republican rule, and give the state to Uryan for presi dent in 190S. or taken action of larger import for the whole country than the meet ing ot the Missouri democracy at Jefferson City Tuesday. Andnoth- ing was more emphatically indicated in the unanimous and spirited ac tion oi tneconvention tnan tne con viction of Missouri democracy that William Jennings Hrvan will lie the nominee of the reunited demo cratic hosts and the next president of the United States. Missouri has declared itself. The rest of the country will likely follow. Nothing except the re fusal of Mr. Bryan himself to Lecoihe the standard bearer of democracy in 1908 seems to stand in the way of his nomination. Bryan stands for ward more prominently than any one else as the representative of resolute opposition to government of, by and for the trusts intrenched behind an ultra high tariff of their own dictation. Which is to say that it is upon constitutional prin ciples and for a constitutional gov ernment that he stands. As such Bryan is a conservative. As con trasted with other political ten dencies the principle of which he is unquestionably the leading ex ponent is eminently conservative. Indeed, without exaggeration of language it can be truthfully said that Bryan is the most conservative force in American public life.

A mom; the things which will in terest the people of this state at the coming Novcmler election is the one of the adoption of a constitu tional amendment, creating a lail road commission. While it is doubtful if such an addition to the list of state officers would afford the relief that the people ask, it is evi dent that the legislature and the courts have adopted the sublet ftigc for the purpose of evading the res ponsibility of acting.

Toward his ma tured statesmanship the united de mocracy, its differencces completely outgrown, now turns for a represen tative of convictions fundamental in the party, which by reason of of their special application to pres cnt-dav affairs are recognized and approved by millions of people who have not heretofore considered themselves democrats. Experience has taught the Ameriran people in the last few years the value of many Jeffersonian truths. Expe rience has demonstrated, too, the necessity of constitutional govern mcnt, government which shall be- in the interest of all the people as opposed to the rule of privilege. In this emergency Bryan answers at once the sane demands . and the thoughtful purpose of democracy, just as in thisila'y of revelations, of exposed inequalities, if injustices and corruption in the administra tion of national affairs, he offers the living hope of wise, sound, honest, constitutional government. Proposed by a democrat of na tional prominence, a leading repre sentative of iic faction once op posed to Bryan, his endorsement bv the Missouri convention ex- view of the united, national democ racy.

Thk enormous republican major ities in Pennsylvania in the past are not so wonderful since the light has been thrown on the corrupt bargain between the railroads, trusts and combines and the repub lican politicians, and similar con ditions prevail in New Jersey and other states, but light is breaking on the cesspools of corruption. Taking the first"lemonade day" as a pointer, Washington weather prophets are saying that congress w ill adjourn by the 1st of July. But congress still has statehood and the rates bill on its hands, and all signs are liable to fail in a hot session like this. Observer Cannon's prognos tication that the session will end somewhere between the 1st of June and the 1st of August still holds good, however.
