story, pearls and rubies drop from his
mouth whenever he opens it. He can
set men laughing or crying at will. He
is master of the situation while he is
speaking but afterwards it ib different.
He has led a blameless life. Ho has
made a gallant light and he is not ac
cused of any meanness. His townsmen
who voted against him followed his ad
vice which ho has given in so many
speeches and in hundreds of places, viz:
Office 1132 N street, Up Stairs.
Telephone 384.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT,
. At this writing republican victories
are roported in Tennessee and Texas.
This means that the disruption of tho
"solid south" has begun. When tho
time comes that a state is not to bo
counted upon becauso of its. location
60uth or north, west or east, lhe union
will bo strengthened which is a some
what awkward way of saying that sec
tionalism is dangerous to union.
The "business men" who opposo civil
service reform aro in tho habit of con
ceding tho merits of tho reform and
adding that it is impossible to affect it
becauso politicians, like everybody elso,
are governed by self interest and tho
offices belong to tho men who were able
to get tho most votes out. How many
otithe men who voted and worked foi
or against free silver in this campaign
exppcted to got an office from tho re
publican or tho democratic party? Re
publicans voted for McKinloy because
he is tho republican candidate and they
took off their coats and worked for him,
oratorically because tbey wero con-

HON. WM.M'KILNEY.
Whatever Air. Bryan's career may
be, he has broken all previous records
for speaking and travelling. If ho can
climb out of the drift that covered him
up on November 3rd, ho baa a record
that will stand by him when he wants
'Voto as you believe." Thay believed
that tho Chicago platform was the
worst medicine this country could take
for the paralysis which has made ita
members uselees for several years. For
Mr. Bryan personally they .have the
highest regard. No fair-minded mart
can know Mr. Bryan without appreciat
ing his siraplo-hearted goodness, gener
osity and thoughtfulness for others.
The newspaper men tho majority of
whom are republicans, have becomo to
a man, his devoted friends in tho months
that they have been so closely associated
with him. As a citizen of Nebraska
he is a'n honor to tho state. Any other
assertion in consideration of what Mr.
Bryan has done single-handed, deserted
by democrats and only lukewarmly sup
ported by populists, is not borne out by
the circumstances.
.' Mr. W. T. Stead, tho English editor
and writer on economics, ethics or what
ever you wish to call the autopsies that
reformers like Dr. Parkhurst and Mr.
Stead hold over the diseased bodies of
largo cities, has an article in the current
number of "The Review of Reviews,"
which is calculated to make tho Eng
lish as mad as "If Christ Came to
Chicago" made Chicagoans.
It is well known that in
1878, when Kuesia had tho Turk
down, the English summoned
the Berlin conference in order to re
establish tho Sultan's authority and
consolidate his empire. England forced
Russia through the conference, to dea
Btroy the guarantee exacted from the
Sultan for the protection of the Ameri
cans, seized Cyprus for itself and has
since occupied it. In consideration of
the Cypriote larceny English diplomats
have repressed their horror at the
Armenian massacres until tho English
people began to consider a candidate's
attitude on the Armenian question a
qualification or disqualification or a
seat in parliament.
Nevertheless, England can not do
much on tne Bosphorus without tho aid
of Russia, and Russia is suspicious. c
English phiUnthropy. "It is all very
well," say the Russians, "for English
agitators to clamor for armed interven
tion on behalf of tho people whom
English ministers have dragged from
tho arms of their rescuers and handed
over to the Turk." Lord Beacocsfiold
took Cyprus in 1873, wo should find
Lord Salsbury, or some ono in his place,
attempting to seize Constantinople or
Gallipoli in 1S03. History repeats it
self. National characteristics do not
disappear in twenty years. As England
tricked us then, England will trick us
again. You can never trust the Eng
lish excepting to look after the main
chance for themse'ves, and to leave
everyone and everything else, including
their principles, in tho lurch, when the
time comes "for laying their hands upon
their neighbor's goods."
On the other hand, if England, or
rather the English, are really in earnest
about putting a stop to the Armenian
