To hear some of the anti democrats talk, one would think, it lie didn't know better that there would be no trouble in the republicans, progressives and democrats’ sleeping together in one political lied. If the fur don’t fly long before this campaign Is over, we will miss our guess. The Ossian Journal is the name of the newest paper on our exchange table. volume one. number one, having reached us today. It is a bright and newsy ten-page weekly, with B. Sprunger as editor. If the succeeding copies keep up the standard fixed by the first number, it will be a winner. The Berne convention came about as uear liein a “fizzle" as could be imagined. After weeks of constant labor by two or three imaginary politicians. assisted by the wise republican "bosses," anxious to split the demo cratic party, after predicting a crowd of two thousand, and a meeting that would rival a state convention, today’s affair at Berne was almost pitiful. By actual count there were 250, including the band in the parade, and it took a half-hour band concert to get that bunch together. Four-fifths of the number were never democrats. The big advance delegation which it was advertised in the Herald would gc from here yesterday to arrange for the big meeting consisted in realitj of Morton Stultz and Milton Miller It begins to look as though a lot cl good wind had been wasted. The fact that Secretary Bryan'.pezce plans are meeting such hearty response from nations generally, in dicates that the chief business of an I army will scon be that of keeping if app.aranc.-s. The plan is simple a that. It simply proposes that, wher any nation believes it has been injur I ed by another, no steps shall be taken I in the matter until an international I commission has investigated the is sues. In other words, it is the o.d I adage. “When angry, count a bun I dred," applied to nations. Os the fortytwo countries to whom the proposal was made, thirty-two have sigiiifi-d their willingness to adopt the scheme A dozen treaties have be.-n made, em bodying tho idea. For putting into practical operation this one simple idea of international good sense. .Mr ,
