SHALL THE MPtr HVLl.l
The attention of the Peerless Leader
Is prayerfully directed to a condition
that has developed not only In his own
state, but In his own bailiwick, and al
most In hl3 own front yard. It actu
ally Involves a member of his own per
sonal family and has grown so serious
that one wonders that Mr. Bryau ran
spend his time In the haunts of the
money devil In the east, when his pet
doctrine and supremely paramount is
sue of thu present campaign is being
so ruthlessly and shamefully misused
at home.
"Shall the people rule?" thunders
Mr. Bryan from every stump and, an
swering It for himself, he insists that
only under the direction of the man
who Invented the sacred ratio, who
liberated the Philippines, who chased
the money devil Into the darkest cor
ner of his mysterious lair, can the
voice of the gseat American electorate
have proper and forceful expression In
the affairs of government. And yet,
Mr. Bryan's own brother-in-law and
political manager, Tom Allen, has
taken upon himself to ruthlessly
thwart the free expression of a large
number of Nebraska voters. It Is
scarcely worth while now to hark back
to the matter of Tom Watson. In
1904 28,000 Nebraska populists regis
tered their votes for Tom Watson. In
1905 not one of these will be permit
ted to vote for Tom Watson because
Brother-ln-Law Tom has ordained
otherwise, and while Mr. Watson Is
running for president of the United
States on the ticket of the people's In
dependent party in every other state
in the union, he is not a candidate in
Nebraska. "Shall tho people rule?"
Again, certain members of the peo
ple's independent party, aspirants for
public office and seeking its nomina
tion, filed with the secretary of state
of Nebraska certain declarations,
among which was one to the effect that
in the event of their nomination by the
people's Independent party they would
stand at the forthcoming election as
the candidates of that party and would
support Its principles and carry Its
banners forward. Now comes Brother-ln-Law
Tom and says to these candi
dates of the people's independent party
that they may not run, but must vio
late the pledges made under the law
and withdraw entirely from the con
test because, forsooth, It does not suit
the plans laid by this ardent champion
of the fortunes of the Peerless leader
that anyone chosen In opposition to bis
arrangements should be a candidate.
Little doubt exists that Brother-ln-
Law Tom would place this ban against
the republican candidates, and the so
cialist candidates and tho prohibition
candidates, and the candidates of any
party whatsoever, if he thought by so
doing ho could remove their presence
from the political field and clear the
way for a unanimous expression In
favor of the Peerless Leader. It is not
yet determined whether Mr. Bergo and
his associates on the populist ticket
will have the manhood to abide by the
result of the primary election and In
sist on their rights to run as candidates
of the party that has honored them
with nominations, or whether they will
supinely submit to the dictation of the
chairman of tho democratic state com
mittee and withdraw themselves to the
privacy of their home lives in order
that they will present no obstacle to
democratic success.
While Mr. Bryan is shouting, "Shall
the people rule?" throughout the east,
Brother-ln-Law Tom Is giving a most
Illuminating example of the application
of gag-rule in Nebraska.
FIST? CROPS.
The appointment of a receiver for
the Fish trust serves to call attention
to one source of a nation's food sup
ply that has until recently t been
neglected, along with the nation's
other natural resources that have been
wasted or exploited for private gain to
the public hurt. The recent annual
report of the national fish commis
sioner shows that congress has finally
become awakened to the Importance
of protecting and encouraging this in
dustry and that great progress la be
ing shown by the national commission,
in co-operation with the commissions
In the different states.
It is only within the last few years
that tho fact has been made plain that
the rivers, lakes and oceans require
cultivation as well as the land, In or
der to make their food yields abund
ant. On this point tho commissioner
says In his report:
The farming of the waters la responsive
to scientific care and to a constant su
pervision even more than the farming of
land. The cultivation of the ooean floor
la a recognized tii-lenre today, and In that
cultivation good cars meana greater
crops, and big ocean crops mean good
pricea, for the demand la constant. Inas
much aa epicures must have their deli
cacies the year round.
In the early days nothing was more
plentiful in the shape of food than
fish which filled the rivers and bays,
until it seemed impossible that the
supply would ever be exhausted. This
condition obtained until perhaps a
quarter of a century ago, when it was
discovered that tho waste and thought
lessness of the government and fisher
men haj practically exhausted the sup
ply. Since that time the federal and
state governments have been engaged
In .an effort to save every specimen of
food fish now in existence and to en
courage fish culture everywhere, with
results that have been most gratifying.
Special attention Is Irelug paid to those
species that have long been neglected,,
such as the lobster, while the number
of salmon, trout, perch, etc., planted
tacit year runs Into tho hundreds of
millions.
The greatest struggle has been made
to preserve the lobster the demand
for that sea food having led fishermen
to exhaust the flelJa. without making
any provision (or the replanting of
them. So many stringent laws hav2
been passed that the lobster fields are
being restored, and the commission is
convinced that the supply will be suf
ficient to meet all future needs. The
commission has also educated the dla-mond-ltack
terrapin to lay eggs In cap
tivity and that epicurean dish promises
to be saved from extinction. The
work of the commission furnishes
abundant proof that it pays the gov
ernment and benefits the people to sow
fish crops for the future.
Tffc PRIMARY LAW.
Objectors to . the primary law are
now raising the question of expense
and insisting that on this, If on no
other ground, the law should be aban
doned. These men forget that under
any system of selecting candidates cer
tain expenses must be bnrne and that
the present law merely transfers the
burden from a few to the many. When
the old system was in vogue It was
charged repeatedly and truthfully that
corporations and individuals with In
terest In the government spent their
money In order to control the conven
tions, and the demand was made that
some means be adopted whereby the
machinery In the selection of candi
dates should be taken out of the hands
of the persons whose Interests were
opposed to those of the public. For
this purpose the primary law was es
tablished, and when the selection of
candidates was placed directly in the
hands of all the people It carried with
it responsibility' for the expense at
tached to the necessary arrangements
for the proper registration, collection
and counting of the ballots. This ex
pense Is a legitimate charge against
the public and should be met cheer
fully, for it Is worth all that It co3t to
know that the selection of candidates
Is free from the Sinister and too often
corrupt Influences that formerly sur
rounded caucuses and conventions.

Tho negro question is one of the
few issues of public Interest on which
Mr. Bryan Is not voluble. His refusal
to discuss the matter In his public
speeches because It was not mentioned
In the Denver platform Is not proving
satisfactory to the democrats of either
the north or the south and they per
sist In adding to his' embarrassment by
forcing the question upon the public's
attention, ignoring Mr. Bryan'a deter
mined effort to sidestep It.
Colonel Watterson, who is support
ing Mr. Bryan as eloquently as he op
posed him in his former two cam
paigns, is urging the Nebraska leader
"to shape his speeches on the tour of
the close states so as to draw the ne
groes from their alliance with the re
publican party." Doubtless Mr. Bryan
would like to accommodate Colonel
Watterson, but he can't because the
solid south won't let him. Colonel
Watterson wants Mr. Bryan to open
the door of hope to the negro and the
south serves notice that If Mr. Bryan
attempts anything of that kind he will
find the south standing behind the
door with a club. The Charleston
News and Courier, unquestionably
voicing the sentiment of the south, de
clares that a democratic victory this
year would be purchased at too great
a cost If it should be achieved with
the aid of the negro vote at the north.
The News and Courier says:
However much we wish Mr. Bryan's
election over Judge Taft, we hope that
the negroes will continue In their hide
bound advocacy of the republican party
and all Its works. We believe that they
will with practical unanimity support the
republican nominees as usual, and we
can think of no result which would be
more aalutary for the aouthern democ
racy, much as that course on their part
might injure the chances of Mr. Bryan.
Should a large proportion of the negroes
vnte the democratio ticket and help to
elect It the democratic administration
would be placed under obligations to them
which it could not easily Ignore, and
gradually a policy of deference to the
black voters would be adopted. This
policy in time would extend across the
northern border to the south, and our
political affairs would Inevitably be In
fected by the polluting Influence of negro
participation in them.
This Is specific notice that the south
does not propose to recognise the ne
gro as a citizen. He has been disfran
chised in practically all of the south
ern states and the democratic party
Is now seeking to disfranchise him In
Maryland, West Virginia and Kansas.
The party wants to disfranchise the
negro in the north as well as In the
south and would rather loss the presi
dency than accept It through recogni
tion of the rights of the negro as a
man and a citizen.
It would bo Interesting to know
what Mr. Bryan thinks of the ques
tion. The southern wing of the demo
cratic party, which dominates the or
ganization, should be magnanimous
and allow Mr. Bryan to tell tho north
ern people, particularly tho northern
negroes, where he stands on the ques
tion of negro disfranchisement.
Tho attention of James J. Hill is
called to tho fact that the government
of .the United States and the govern
ments of the several states spend an
nually sums very largely in excess ot
the $5,000,000 he proposes for the
maintenance of agricultural schools,
and that nowhere else In the world la
aa much attention paid to the Instruc
tion of farmers in practical agriculture
as In the United States. The Hon.
Hill Is again using his hat as a mega
phone. The democrats are losing considera
ble sleep over tho organization of the
Douglas county republican committee.
They might as well mako up their
minds that the committee will bo a
working organization, framed along
lines that are .certain to lead to victory.

The request of the board of gov

roads are concerned, for a long time
and It may be that this Is the reward.
Mayor Jim may have kissed the rod

Mr. Bryan says that a candidate's
speeches are binding upon him. Then
Mr. Bryan is bound by his 1836 and
1900 speeches, and is still In favor of
all the exploded vagaries that he made
paramount In those campaigns.

The suits brought against the city of

down aggregate $1164.000. This Is by no
means the total cost of a brief taste of

of property destroyed by rloteracan be
aued for. Sangamon county will have a
heavy bill to pay on account of the numer
ous triala growing out of the rjot. The
loss to the business community of Spring
field through the interference with traffic
cannot be estimated closely, but It was
heavy. Some disreputable characters have
left Springfield, but some decent, hard
working citizens have been scared away
and the community is the poorer for their
absence.

The recent outbursts of religious Intoler
ance In Ijnndon, which forced the Catholic
Eiicharlstlo congress to abandon In pirt
I Its processional rogram, aharply emphj-
!sca the absurdity of the Itrlt sh legisla
tive custom of ran ly repealing an Innocu
ous law. The law Invoked by a group of
religious fanatics is a survival of the In
fHinoua penal code of Ireland, which es
caped repeal at the passage of the Cath
olic emancipation act of 1S2! and forbade
outdoor religious ceremonials by Roman
Catholics. Failure to repeal the obnox
ious statute enahled a group of fanatics
to force the government Into a position
humiliating to the nation und insulting to
a representative element of the population,
Aa usual, the hostility arcu.-ed dam .ged
the cauae it represented and awakened
sympathetic Interest for the Catholic o n
gress. In all lands blue laws nerve the
purposes of petty tyrants and should bj
relegated to the museums of the witch
craft and fagot.
Every Austrian .wllh a pull worthy of the
name haa received jubilee decorations In

cipients of jubilee crosses, orders and pro
motions cannot fall far short of 4OI.0 0,
yet very few are satisfied. There Is an
enormous amount of intriguing going o.t
to get the highest order possible. The
most remarkable feature, however, la the
preference the officials display for some
deqoratlon or title to promotion Into a
higher class In the government service, al
though the latter means no Increase In
pay. Official salaries are miserably small
In all the lower classes; neverthekss sc.jre.a
of minor officials prefer some high-sounding
title to receiving higher pay.
So accurate have been engineering cal
culations on tunnel projects constructed in

a tunnel through the Black Forest moun
tains on discovering, a variation of twen-ty-alx
feet at the junotion point ot the two
borea. But It Waa not the fault of the en
gineers. The misplacement of a surveying
pin caused the trouble and put the state
of Baden to an expense of tl.uO0.000 to rec

that the pin waa Intentionally misplaced

charged during the progress of the work
and who gratified his revenge in this way.
Every mother heart, and father heart as
well, will throb with sympathy for tho
sorrowing Queen Wllhelmlna of Holland,
to whom the happiness of an heir has been
denied for the third time. AH Holland
looked forward with great pleasure to the
coming of an heir to the House of Orange,
and national disappointment is as keen aa
the heartache of the bereft queen mother.
A Joyous, impulsive girl, born to the pur
ple, and the idol of her people, her lll'e Is

hearts In the households of rich and poor,
royalty and peasant.
The' special correspcnder.t of the Ixmdon
Times at Sofia Intimates that some of the
diplomatic agents of foreign powers were
not averse to profiting by tho general cor
ruption among the governing class In Tur
key. He says: "Many disclosures pf an
unsavory character may still be expected
with regard to the means by which mem
bers cf the Ylldla camarilla and their pro
teges, both native and foreign, iiave er
rlched themselves or secured valuable con
cession for clients at the expense of the
Turkish treasury. In the former competi
tion for concessions, lucrative orders and
other favora, some of tho embassies found
It advisable, and even necessary, to main
tain close relations with the palace clique
through whom alone their speculative ei
terprlsea could be brought to a successful
Issue. The existence of these relations In
the past cannot but diminish the influence
of certain diplomatic representatives with
the new government, ami may even tend
to weaken the prestige of their respective
countries and the authority of tho Euro
pean concert. In these circumstances It
seems not unlikely that several diplomatic
changes may be announced before long."
Under the treaty Just ratified, by which
Belgium takes over the Congo state as a
colonial possession, the nation binds Itself
to respect the rights of the holders of the
enormous concessions which were granted
by the sovereign Just before he negotiated
this treaty, to pay large life subsidies to
Prince Albert and Princess Clementina and
some minor ones, and In the course of fif
teen years the aum of I10.00f10. to the king
or his successors, to spend t9.leo,XX1 on
public works In Belgium, and to assume
responsibility for the liabilities of the
Congo, excepting Interest on the Congo debt
of 22.&,O0O, for which for the present It
disclaims accountability. Apparently, there
will be, as a result of this treaty, a con
tribution to the 'Belgian budget of about
$1,300,000 a year, and a charge against It
of $,50fi,f00 a yonr, besides the Interest on
the Congo debt, for which no provision IS
as yet made.
There appears to be some difference of
opinion in England re,sP'jctlng the operation
of the new law compelling the owners of
patented articles to manufacture them lm
the British isles In order to secure the
protection of the laws. The London Stan
dard virtually asserts that It will accom-
! pltsh nothing. It says: "Instead, there
fore, of the act providing for the exclusive
manufaature of patented articles In Oreat
Britain, It definitely s 'cures the foreigner
against anything of the sort for a cor
sldernbie number of years, after which he
will have no difficulty in evading It." The
effect of the law In bringing In new fac
tories has been exaggerated. American
Consul General Wynne has heard of only
one American concern, the Gillette rasor
company, which la arranging to supply Its
English customers from an English fac
tory. On the otjier hand, ho has been
overrun by agents of manufacturing land
and buildings who expected a great de
mand for this class of property on account
of the new regulations. Three or four Ger
man firms are establishing works here,
notably those in the great chemical Indus

Is Mr. Bryan Willing- to Admit Ike
Krror. of Ills Issues f
Chicago Tribune.
Mr. Bryan says he recognised In 1896 that
there were people who feared his election
would be injurious to tho country. Their
fears grew out of the fact that his para
mount Issue was the free coinage of silver
at the retlo or 16 to 1. They believed free
tilver would iuokn cheap silver the meas
ure of value, that the purchasing power
of ' waRes would be decreased, and that
bank depoilta and other credlta would be
. rcaltd down one-half In real value.
I Mr. liryan argued then that thoae fears
' were 111 founded. Is he of the same opln-
tun now? lie says the money question lias
been taken out of polities by "unexpected
I discoveries of gold." That does not an-
swer the query whether the men who la
' 1"M saw in his election on a free allver
i platform an Injury 'n the country wre
Justified In their belief.
