W.J. BKYAN is a growing man. He recognizes the fact that events make issues and that a party guided by certain principles must take a stand upon these crises in the national life as they arise. Questions are sometimes settled, and a step forward must be taken. Bryan stands upon the platform of the party as adopted in •596. But since that time events have occurred of such tremendous moment, that they too must be considered in the deliberation of the next National Convention. While he recognizes this fact he is willing to support the platform adopted by the next Democratic
National Convention, whatever that may be. In the meantime he exercises the privilege of using his best efforts to aid in shaping the opinions of the great body of the party, that it may crystallize into a unanimous sentiment at that convention. Whatever may be the estimate of Bryan's political tenets as held by his political opponents it must be conceded by all fair minded men that his declaration that "No man at this time has a right to say what the Democratic platform will be," is a loyal utterance as applied to any party. He says that he believes the Chicago platform will be reaffirmed, but it is impossible to predict what influence other issues may have. The platform of the Republican party is equally uncertain. The wise prophet is making no predictions just now.
of the peace
ANDREW D. WHITE, head American delegation to the convention at the Hague says that he hopes for practical results from that conference. The subjects of mediation and arbitration will receive much attention, and there is every reason to believe that some conclusion may be reached whereby the most humane of methods may be employed in actual warfare and also the danger from actual outbreaks of hostilities be re duced to a minimum. The wisdom of settling the great majority of disputes between nations by the method -of arbitration is becoming more apparent. This conference of representatives of the great natiuus cannot but be fruitful of great good. A bet-

ter understanding of the various' nations will lead to mutual respect and tend-to destroy narrow prejudice which often lies at the basis of an unwillingness to make reasonable concessions. We are not yet in sight of a general disarmament, simply because one nation will not trust to the honor of another. And it is true that it is not to be trusted. Bjit it is by no means unreasonable to hope that the time will come when such will be the case. The signs of the times would indicate that much.
THE Rev. Dr. Foster, of the chair of systematic theology in the seminary at Lebanon, Tenn., is accused of heresy by the Cumberland Presbyterian Gsneral Assembly. He published a book on "Systematic Theology" in which it is alleged that he teaches that regeneration precedes repentance and faith whereas the church teaches that regeneration comes last. The Dr. claims that he is misunderstood, and will revise the book. If a system of theology is fixed, and a thing incapable of growth, then when a-man finds he cannot agree with it he should withdraw from the church holding to that doctrine. If however new ideas are necessary to the life of a church and growth is indispeusible then the man who agitates points of difference to the end that they are better understood he should not be branded as a heretic, but difference of opinion reconciled by investigation and discussion. A better understanding of the truth seldom works an injury to things either humau or divine.
THE countrymen of Gomez are now calling him "traitor" and kindly names of a kindred character. They are becoming Americanized with extreme rapidity. Public men in this country are quite familiar with things of this sort. It is one of the high and mighty prerogatives of a Republican form of government. The Cubans will soon be eminently fitted for., selfgovernment.

A Nervy Steal.
Last evening two strangers went to Bayless' livery barn and asked for a horse and buggy to go to Whitesville. They were given the best horse in the barn, and anew rubber tired buggy with the understanding that they were to be back early. When last seen they were driving around town about nine o'clock last night. They were at the first valley saloon later on and told the bar-tender there that they were going to New Richmond Mr. Bayless waited until to-day noon for the horse and then turned the matter over to the Montgomery County Horse Thief Detective Association, and it now rests entirely with them.
The one that seemed to be the "main guy" was a low, heavy-set man, rather dark complexioned, with a heavy black moustache. The outfit was valued at about $175 or $200.

The opinions of Peter Porcupine are his own, and he gives them to the world without asking of it either credence or tolerance. Whether opinions political or social, general or particular, they shall be expressed with studied stupidity and malignant dullness as becomes ideas of an antique flavor, emanating from an old gentleman who is superlatively fearful of treading upon the excrescential adornments of the public's pedal extremities. Therefore shall he exercise a wise and discriminating judgment, knowing that there are "Tot homines, quot sententiae" in this old world, and asking only for an individual right to freedom of speech.
As to freedom of speech there are many queer crimes committed in its name. Poor old Edward Atkinson dared to exercise it, and his opinion necessarily being at variance with that of some bipeds of the same species, foresooth he is a "traitor" and some of the aforesaid bipeds whose blood is not cooled by age, nor minds deeply imbued with wisdom, recommend for the recalcitrant Edward sundry lashings on the bare back. At this date no account has been received cf his sudden death from heart failure. He bears his "shame" with the serenity of a philosopher, or the indifference of a stoic. His withers are still unwrung, much to the disgust of numerous self-styled patriots whose vociferous brayings make strange revelation of what may be sometimes hidden in a lion's skin.
I did not know that there was an editor in town who would be so undignified as to visit a hoochee coochee show, until I read the roar one gives in an evening paper. He went to get a sensational item for his sheet, and got more than he bargained for. It was too strong for even his well trained olfactories. The nose that has bored itself so often into putrefaction was offended. The affair must have been dreadful. That editor is a star. His virtue soars as high above that of the common herd as Mont Blanc's snow crowned summit above an ordinary dust pile. Too bad the "innocent" went abroad unchaperoned— ma and pa should go along next time to point out the pitfalls to his little feet and warn him that going to such places is naughty, and that all should shun them. He had no doubt read in his Sunday school lesson the words of the wise man to the effect that "stolen waters are sweet and bread eaten in secret is pleasant" and took the words literal]}' in his innocence. He was old enough to know better, but there is a proverb which says: "There is no fool like an old fool." I have never been caught on any supli hook. I was always blessed with an intuition that told me what was hidden behind the curtain was not good for the eyes nor improving to character. Men who lack this intuitive power are more to be pitied than blamed, and my heart goes out to the verdant editor who "saw sights too awful to speak of." It would be exceedingly well for him to go into retirement in some "monkery" about street fair time or he might be stolen and carried away like little
My old friend Brent Davis, of theNewport Hoosier State has known Queen Victoria for forty years he says. It is about time he was decorated with the Order of the Garter. To see Brent hobnobbing with royalty would be a spectacle for gods and men.
The habit of older men of telling tales of their prowess in their younger days is a bad one. Darling tales cause the young generation to conclude that they live in "weak piping times of peace" and that in order to hdve tales to tell to their grandchildren equal to those which Pa unrolltf, they mast wreck a train, kill
Indians, rob melon patches and do other things to narrowly escape the House of Correction. Very frequently after hearing tales of prowess, intelligence, etcetera they overhear that which dashes their air castles to earth. A poet, we know not who, says: I wisht 'at I'd of been here when
My paw was a boy
They must have been excitement then— When my paw was a boy In school he always took the prize, He used to lick boys twice his size— I bet folks all had bulgiu' eyes
When my paw was a boy.
They had a lot of wonders done When paw was a boy How grandpa must havelovedhisson,
When paw was a boy!
He'cl git the coal and chop the wood, And think up every way. he could To always jist be sweet and good—
When my paw was a boy.
Then everything was in its place, When my paw was a boy How he could rassle. jump and race,
When my paw was a boy!
He never, never disobeyed He beat in every game he played— Gee! What a record they was made
When my paw was a boy. wisht 'at I'd been here when My paw he was a boy They'll never be his like agen—
Paw was the moddle boy,
But still last night I heard my maw Raise up her voice and call my paw The worst old fool that she ever saw—
He ought have stayed a boy! PETER PORCUPINE, JR.
Exciting Runaway.
About noon to-day John Schultz, jr., was driving in a carriage on west Market srreet. The horse suddenly became frightened at some wagons and ran away. At the crossing of Market and Washington streets one of the rear wheels striking a cistern cover was broken and jerked off. Young Schultz was thrown cut, and his foot catching in the lines he was dragged for some distance, the rebounding spindle of the carriage nar rowly missing his head. When the horse came opposite Insley's barn it was caught. Strange to say the bo was unhurt. It was a very close call, and an experience bered.
