COL. BRYAN'S STATUS.
The Latent Addition to the Cri-ril of
thr Knltlifnl In tin- FH'C
Silt cr UftnliK.
The three departments of the old
Bryanite party in Nebraska have held
their slate eonventions simultaneous
ly at Lincoln. The Bryanite demo
crats, the silver republicans and the
populists met as separate organiza
tions, but with a common purpose in
view, namely, fusion and the promo
tion of Bryanism as revised to date by
the colonel himself. There was har
mony and cooperation, except a wran
gle over the apportionment of the
oflices. At one time there was a move
ment to reconcile differences by put
ting up Bryan himself for governor.
The final agreement resulted in the
nomination of populists for governor,
auditor, secretary of state, treasurer,
commissioner of public lands and
buildings, and superintendent of pub
lic instruction; a silver republican for
lieutenant-governor; and a democrat
for attorney-general. Although it ap
pears that the populist branch of Ne
braska Bryanism came out rather the
best in the distribution, it probably
got no grenter share than its nu
merical superiority and enthusiastic
energy warranted it in claiming.
While three separate sets of resolu
tions were adopted by the three con
ventions. they are practically identical
at all the principal points of interest.
They reaffirm the Chicago platform of
free coinage of silver at a ratio of six
teen to one. independent of the action
of any other nation; express pride and
joy in the achievement of Col. Bryan
in peace and in war: condemn the issue
of war bonds as unnecessary and un
wise; favor the referendum and the
election of senators by direct vote of
the people; and declare hostility to
the acquisition by the republic of ter
ritory so remote as the Philippine is
lands.
This last addition to the creed of Ne
braska Bryanism was due to the special
and personal efforts of the colonel him
self. He probably cared more about
it than about any other resolution, al
ways excepting the resolution refer
ring to his military record. Tt was
announced before the conventions met,
and while the steering committee was
laboring for harmony, that although
the great leader was miles away from
Lincoln, heroically support ing his coun
try's cause against Spain, he had left
behind him "as a legacy to the tri-eon
vention" the "thought" that the Philip
pines are too far away to be annexed'
In whole or in part.
The colonel's legacy of thought was
accepted, but not without some trouble
on the part of the administrator.-of his
political wishes. Not only among the
populists, but also among the demo
crats, there developed a sentiment in
favor of the very imperialism which
Bryan wanted the convention to con
demn and denounce. The Lincoln cor
respondent of the Chicago Tribune re
ports that "there was a considerable
element in favor of not referring to
that subject, or. if it was made the sub
ject of resolutions, to favor the exten
sion of the republic's territory to all
land thnt the flag covers as a result of
the work of the army and navy. This
sentiment, however, was not strong
enough in the committee to change
the programme. Col. Bryan had sound
ed the keynote of hostility to the re
tention of the Philippines or other re
mote territory, and in deference to bis
wishes the resolutions of each conven
tion on this line were drafted."
Thus it appears that Col. Bryan's
most zealous efforts in the present war
are devoted to the restoration to Spain
of the territory which Dewey and Mer
ritt and the men under them are hold
ing for the flag. This enterprise may
he within the functions proper to a
political colonel, but surely not to any
other sort of colonel. It is safe to say
that not an officer in the service of the
United States, with the single excep
tion of Col. Bryan, is now engaged in
working conventions with a view to em
barrassing his commander in chief.

sacrifiee which led Mr. Bryan into the
military service of his country needs

reform will probably never
be heard again as the main cry to rally
the democratic party. The disastrous
effects wrought by the Wilson-tJorman
law have taught a severe but perma
nent lesson to the people. The demo
cratic leaders r.re busy in the work of
thinking out tome other issue upon
which to prosecute the next national
campaign. Free silver may be the pre
dominant issue again, but if any other
principle can be substituted, this will
tie abandoned. But whatever be the

DEMOCRACY OF TO-DAY.
There la Mueh I nerrtnlnty .Ju*t Vuvr
an to Ilow the l*nrt> l« lon
■ tltnted.
Colonel 1 lie* Honorable William Jen
nings Bryan declines to be the fusion
candidate for governor of Nebraska.
This determination is a wise one, for a
defeated candidate for governor would
not be regarded as a favorable candi
date for the presidency, even if lie does
incarnate the leading principles of the
democratic party.
Col. Bryan represents more emphat
ically than any other man the princi
ples of the democratic party, and
though it is said by some time-serving
democratic politicians in this state
that the Chicago platform is a thing
of the past, it is nevertheless true that
every democratic state convention
held thus far—with the exception of
that of Pennsylvania—has indorsed
that platform.
Xew York, which cast 551.369 votes
for the Chicago platform in 1896, is ex
pected to repudiate that platform in
1898, not because the great body of the
democratic voters are in favor of such
action, but because it has been so de
termined by a group of politicians,
some of whom refused to work for the
nominee of their party two years ago.
The democrats of Xew York will be
the only ones in their party placed in
that position, and it will remove the
last vestige of authority in democratic
councils that the party in this state
possesses.
On one side will be registered the de
cision of every democratic state con
vention, including even .Massachusetts,
in favor of the Chicago platform. On
the other. New York will stand soli
tary, thanks to men who have dis
graced that party in various ways.
These men do not represent the de
mocracy as it is constituted to-day a.i
does William .1. IJryan.
Thus far in the campaign the de
mocracy has spoken in the states of
Arkansas, (ieorgia, Illir/ois, Indiana,
lowa. Kansas. Maine, Michigan and
Wisconsin, and every one has indorsed
the Chicago platform, upon which Mr.
IJryan stands. Now, whether he de
cVaies the fusion nomination for gov
ernor of Nebraska because he fears
defeat, or whether he proposes to
make a straight fight for the principles
embodied in that platform, is not
known, nor is it a matter of particular
concern.
liut it is known that as democracy is
constituted to-day, judging it from the
declarations made in the platforms
adopted by the state conventions
which have been held. William J. Bryan
is a better democrat than the schem
ing. selfish, calculating leaders in the
state of New York who are resolved,
simply to advance their own persnna!
interests, to repudiate that platform
at the coming state conventions and
stultify their own party and its works.
—Albany Journal.
THE STANDARD MAINTAINED.
Repulilienna Ailliere Faithfully In
the l*rlitclitlen of Sound Money
nII d .National Integrity.
When the Indiana republicans held
their state convention two years ago
they adopted a platform in which they
declared themselves for "honest
money." They announced thnt they
were opposed to free coinage at the
ratio of sixteen to one because it would
debase the currency, and favored the
use of silver only to the extent that
its parity with gold could 'JC main
tained. This year those republicans
take a forward step and assume a po
sition they were not ready to take in
1896. The state convention adopted
a money plank denouncing "sixteen to
o«e" because it would "debase our
money and destroy our private and
public credit ami cause general busi
ness disaster." The concluding sen
tence of the plank is as follows:
"We recognize the necessity of compre
hensive and enlightened monetary legis
lation, and believe that the declaration in
the St. I.ouis national republican platform
for the maintenance of the gold standard
and the parity of all our forms of money
should be given the vitality of public law,
and the money of the American people
should be made, like all Its institutions, the
best in the world."
This is a recognition of the fact that
the existing laws, which make United
States bonds payable in "coin" and
the legal tender notes redeemable in
"coin." mist be amended by requiring
those payments and redemptions to be
made in "gold coin." When that has
been done there will be no question
and no difficulty about the mainte
nance of the gold standard. The whole
world will understand that the United
States is committed definitely and ir
revocably to the world's money stand
ard.
As long as that naked word "coin"
remains in the laws, and the United
States has half a billion of legal lender
silver money the bullion in which U
worth only about 44 cents on the dol
lar, a Bryanite president could slump
the currency and breed a panic. It
would not be necessary for him to
have a Bryanite congress behind him
to enact a free coinage law. All he
would have to do to destroy public and
private credit would be to order his
secretary of the treasury to redeem
the greenbacks in legal tender silver
instead of gold. But a Bryanite presi
dent could give no such ordei if the
law ordered redemption in "gold coin."
It will lie the duty of congress after the
free silverites have lost their majority
in the senate to insert the word "gold"
before "coin." Then it will be neces
sary for the Bryanites to elect a presi
dent and have a majority in the house
and senate before they can tamper
with the gold standard. —Chicago Trib
une.
IE? Every sign shows that gold will be
plentiful enough for a monetary me
dium at least tor years to come, and
each day the unreasonableness of the
demand for an inflation of the curren
cy becomes more apparent. —Chicago

Key West, Aug. 18.—Details have
been received beje as to the boinbard
inent of the port of Caibaren, 011 the
north coast of the province of Santa
Clara, Cuba, last Sunday by the .Man
grove. The Mangrove left here last
week to protect the landing' of an ex
pedition under Col. liu/.as, which had
gone ahead on the schooners Adams
and Dcliie. When the Mangrove
reached Santa Maria i\ey. near Cai
baren, she found the Cuban party had
safely disembarked, but feared to ad
vance because of the presence of the
Spanish gunboat Ilcrnan Cortes and a
smaller gunboat which were evidently
making Caibaren their base. On Sat
urday afternoon the Mangrove an
chored at Key Francis, just outside
Caibaren. and as Vhe lay there the
Hernan Cortes came out and ran
around the Key to get a peep at hi-r,
scurrying back into the harbor as
soon as she was discovered. The Man
grove followed as far as the shoal
water would permit, but could only
get about half way in the harbor.
The next morning Capt. Stuart,
commander of the Mangrove, decided
to have a shot at the gunboats. He
was alone and the odds against him
were heavy, but he did a bold thing.
Sounding her way, inch by inch, the
Mangrove crept along the channel,
drawing eight feet of water in an aver*
age depth of h>/ 2 feet until about 9
o'clock she sighted both the Spanish
gunboats. The Hernan Cortes was
anchored near the shore, about 1,000
yards to the right of the town, with
her broadside to the sea. The small
gunboat lay at the wharf. The Span
iards evidently were anticipating a
battle. The shore was crowded with
Spaniards, citizens and soldiers, while
the roof of every building that com
manded a view of the harbor was lit
rrally covered with people anxious to
see the fight.
The llernan Cortes carried two 4.7-
inch guns and four 1-pounders, while
her smaller companion was armed
with three 1-pounders and a llotchkiss
rapid fire gun. The crews of both,
numbering between 75 and 100 men,
could be seen on the decks. Ashore
were several 1-pound field pieces,
while the Spanish troops were aimed
with Mauser rifles. The Mangrove,
whose entire battery consists of only
two 6-pounders, worked into a range
of :i,OOO yards. Tne channel was so
narrow that only one gun could be
lircd at a time, .it 10:45 a. m. she
got up her port gun at the Hernan
Cortes. The shot fell short. Instant
ly the whole shore line bursted into
flame, both gunboats and the field
pieces pouring in a heavy fire upon
the American vessel. Kvery shot of
this volley struck the water ahead of
the Mangrove, which continued pump
ing away with her ti-poundcrs. She
concentrated her fire on the llernan
Cortes and the next five or six shots
fell on the Spaniard's deck between
the bow gun and amidships, scatter
ing a body of men. Some of the lat
ter must have been killed, although
the Spaniards later denied that they
suffered any loss.
For a while no Spanish gun was
fired, but soon the Spaniards got the
Mangrove's range and a veritable
avalanche of shots and shells was
hurled at her. It was nothing les*
than a miracle that her loss of life
was not heavy. Shells from the big
guns of the Hernan Cortes dropped
within 20 feet of the tug. several
bursting and the fragments chipping
bits off her hull. Others went whiz
zing through her shrouds, and Mauser
bullets peppered the surrounding
water like a summer shower.
In the midst of all this, and while
the Mangrove was swinging cautious
ly around to bring her starboard gun
into play, the watch shouted: "Flag
of truce," and sure enough not only
one but three white flags could be
seen, one flying irom the small gun
boat and two from the government
houses on shore.
The Mangrove acknowledged the
signal and presently a small boat
came out with a Spanish officer, who
clambered aboard the Mangrove and
announced: "Peace is proclaimed and
I have instructions for your command
ing officer from the military com
mander of this district." He added
that during the engagement the Span
ish authorities in Caibaren had wired
the military commander of the district
that the American ships were bom
barding the port, and that immediate
response had been received, informing
them that peace had been restored
and the firing should cease. The crew
of the boat which brought this officer
to the Mangrove said the Spaniards
had not lost a man. The fight lasted
an hour and ten minutes.

true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
