Farm, Stock and Homo, Minneapolis. BRYAN WINS Tho brewery-owned press has so porsistontly spread tho report that tho refusal of tho Nebraska democ racy to accept county option involves tho political death of Bryan, that un thinking peoplo boHovo it. The browory-owned press is wrong. Bryan is not dead, and thero is no indication of his immodiato demise. Ho is not oven defeated. Bryan won a great victory in tho Nebraska convention, and Nebraska' democracy sustained a defeat. Lot us explain. Political enemies of Bryan have charged that ho is an adventurer, an opportunist, a selfish office-seeker who would subordinate principles to gain for himself tho presidency. By renouncing the friends who had sup ported him in his political ambitions and espousing an unpopular cause, knowing that it meant his dethrone ment, Bryan won the greatest of vic tories, a victory over himself, and disarmed tho criticism of his ene mies. Bryan stands higher in tho estima tion of the reform foroos of the na tion today than ever before, because ho has shown himself possessed of tho distinctive quality of the reform er the courago of self-renunciation. Tho November elections will show that in tho degree that Bryan has won, Nebraska democracy has lost, lost tho confidence of the people as a serious agency of political reform. When his critics have turned into cheap earth, selling at twenty-five dollars per acre, Bryan will still live on as one of tho redeeming influences of our national life. Dawson, Minn., Sentinel. DIPLOMATIC GOSSIP An English diplomat at a dinner in London said of Mrs. Langtry: "When she was ah the summit of her beauty and her fame when crowds followed, her in Bond street and tho Row she met, at a semi royal dinner, an African king. Mrs. Langtry, dazzling in her beauty, sat beside this king. She was in good spirits, and she did her very best to amuso and please him. And she must have succeeded, for at tho din nor's close ho heaved a deep sigh and said to her: 'Ah, madam, if heavon had only made you black and fat you would be irresistible!'" New York Tribune. all about his business. Ono night ho announced that ho was going up to tho girl's house and tell tho 'old man' politely, but very emphatically, that he was going to marry his daughter, no matter whether he liked it or not. Ho went to the houso early in tho evening and, to tho sur prise of his club friends, returned to his club early. " 'How'd you como out?' asked some of his interested friends: " 'Through the window,' was the reply." Albany Correspondence to New York Herald. HOW HE CAME OUT "I don't believe in telling about what you're going to do," said As semblyman Wilkie of Buffalo, "be cause you never can tell how things are going to come out. I recall a case of a young man who aspired to the hand of the daughter of a very wealthy man. He was a loud talking person, and nearly every one knew UP-TO-DATE MOTHER GOOSE. The teacher was telling the story of Red Riding Hood. She had de scribed the woods and the wild ani mals that live there. "Suddenly," she said, "Red Riding Hood heard a loud noise. She turned around, and . what do you suppose she saw standing there, looking at her and showing all its sharp, white teeth?" "Teddy Roosevelt!" cried one of tho boys. Judge.

Because of this rejection of a moral question by his party in his own ate, certain newspapers have gleefully expressed themselves in edi torial utterances and declaimed that tho Great Commoner was down and out for good. Time will tell. Mr. Bryan has been threo times defeated for president of the United States, and none of these defeats put him down and out. His political enemies wish ho was down and out, but away down in their hearts they know that he is not, and that there is no man in tho democratic party, standing as its standard bearer, who has the Influ ence or who can poll tho vote he can. His political opponents have for the time being triumphed over him in his own state. The issue on which they havo won will bring a hollow victory whon all is said and done. Mr. Bryan made expediency and per sonal advantago secondary to ulti mate party welfare and popular ad vancement. Ho stood on the side of temperance, good morals and the churches and against intemperance and its evils and the saloons. His act will bo measured by the calm and unprejudiced judgment of tho thinking voters of tho country and he will emerge and again como into tho public view stronger, moro pow erful and more influential than ever before. He sought to eliminate cer tain influences in his state which for years have dominated his party to its moral and material Injury, And right here, let it be recorded, the Nebraska republicans in their state convention adopted, by a largo vote, the plank which Mr. Bryan advocat- .ed.
