Personal Acquaintance. CIIAKI.KS M. I'KI'I'KU, the newspaper correspondent, who spent foui months on boat 4 the train that In 1S9G carried Mr. Rrvan 18,000 miles while he was delivering more than 600 campaign speeches to an agKtogatc of 4,500,000 people, sas that Bryan's renomlnation had been foieseen by him from that time. It came, ho assorts, In conse quence of this extended pergonal ac quaintance. "Having seen and heard their champion, It was not difficult to understand that whether he was de feated or not the majority of these 4.r.00,000 people who felt they had got acquainted personally with Mr. Rryan were going to bo his zealous support eis thereafter." Will not the same rule be likely to apply to Theodore Roosevelt on the Republican side four years hence? With the exception of President Mc- Klnley he Is today the best known man In the Republican ranks. His western tours have made him known to hun dteds of thousands, and before the present campaign shall end this num ber will have been Increased to mil lions, distributed throughout the po litically debatable territory both east and west, with possibly a. following In the south, which will not be diminished in consequence of the fact that Roose elt's mother was a Georgian, while of his two uncles one was an admiral In the Confederate service and the oth er was u midshipman who llrwl the last gun fiom the Alabama before she went down. It Is evident from, the tone of the representative southern press that there Is In the south a wide spread sentiment of personal admira tion for Roosevelt, tecently voiced with trreat force by Colonel Watterson and re-echoed by Cleneial Rosser of Vir ginia, which It would not be difficult to develop Into a political factor cal culated to excit power at the ncct national nominating convention. It will be lemembeied that both In JCS, at Chicago, and In 1S92, at Min neapolis, there was a strong demand for McKlnlcy'n nomination, which he hid the manhood to tefuse on account of his leUtlons with John Sherman. This was hefoie the great demonstia tlon by contiast, In 1893-8, of Protec tion's value and Is to be explained less on the giound of McKlnley'H Identi fication with the protective policy than from the fact of his extended personal acquaintance, derived largely fiont repeated campaign touts thtoughout large areas. The people who had seen him, shaken hands with him and heard him speak remembered him; he win not n political absti action. The factor of peisonal acquaintance In politics is far more potent than money or glen: ability which keeps aloof from the mul titudes. It Is the largest single con stituent of political hucccss, as it alo is of success In other walk of life. In other words, It Is canvassing that counts. Uc'mbcratlc organs this year appear to tl??XP.-,'Hrely nbindoncd faith In the "boy otatoi" business as a winning card.

It Is to be spen how this exceptional freedom of action will be used, whether wisely nnd well or tyrannically nnd In a man ner to necessitate eventual curtail ment. The United Stnts hopes for the former but Is not going to shirk any of its responsibilities in the event of tho latter contingency. "Imperialism," concerning which our Democratic friends wax so eloquent In denuncia tion, means simply that where the Stars and Stripes have been lifted in consequence of the Spanish war, there has got to be In future peace, justice nnd good order. Nothing less will sat isfy the American conscience. In tho coming National Democratic campaign it has been decided that Mr. Rryan shall play tho larger circuits only nnd avoid provincial one-night stands. The Work of John Hay. AN? KDITORIAI. In the Phila delphia Pi ess, apparently- inspired from Washington, accords to Secretary Hay tho credit for having accomplished with tegard to China a concert of in ternational policy and action such as Lord Salisbury was unable to secui" under similar circumstances In Ar menia. "Rut for tho presence and Influence of thu United States It is not im probable," says tho Press, "that wo should have seen, as In Armenia, Rus sia and France on one side and Eng land and the Triple Alliance on the other, with Germany doing just enough to prevent nil action. The Eng lish press at home and English cor respondents on tho ground have, not unnaturally, assumed that, as In Ar menia, Russia would pi event all ac tion on one pretext arid another. Rut It Is the Inestimable privilege of tho United Stntes to be the only power In the world equally friendly to both Russia and Englnnd. Each desltes our good will and nt no possible point are we the rival of either. Japan Is our next neighbor. Our most northern Is land In the Philippines Is but a few houis from the most southern point on which flies the Japanese Hag, and Japan understands, If some Americans do not, the advantage to civilization, humanity and futute self-government of having the American ling In the Philippines. Secietnry Hay has mado a most skilful use of this advantageous position. He led, bh the United Statei could, without arousing jealousy, In outlining a plan for common cuopein tlve action. Thanks to the astute and efficient diplomatic action of the ad ministration at Washington, the work of lestorlng older and punishing the responsible authots of the Peking massacres has been begun on lines nnd along a policy which piomlses to in sure the Integrity of Chlnn, the crea tion of a now and stablo government nnd tho preservation of fieedom of trade to a population of 400,000,000." This testimony comes from a source which knows and can be nccepted ns true. It Implies a remaikablo tribute to John Hay's diplomatic ability but not more so than Is set forth in tho curtent Issue of McClure's magazlno by the Washington correspondent of tho London Chronicle, A. Maurice Low. Mr. Low's attlcle Is a lifting of the veil from the secret diplomatics proceedings immediately prior to and early In the war with Spain. It gives the real story of the manoeuvers of the continental powers to save Spain fiom a thrashing and of England's part In declining to Join In any imtl-Ametican combine, but It nlso explulus details of Mr. Hay's work In this connection that teveal him as one of the most ac complished diplomatists of this or any other time. According to Mi. Low, it was John Hay who aveited war over tho Venezuelan message. Rayard was then our ambassador at London and had grown senllely sentimental. Gresham was secretary of state and had proved a sad misfit. When Olney succeeded him and took hold In glad iatorial style, Rayard could not con veniently bo deposed, but had to bo counteracted, for ho had utterly mla led British sentiment; and the only way the Cleveland administration coull find to do this was to send Hay ovr on a confidential mission, unknown to tlayard. Tho assignment was accepted by hltn ns an net of public duty nnd Its result was shown In Kngland'a final tissent to Venezuelan arbitration, an assent due almost wholly to the effective repie sentntlon of the. Ameilran posltlvn made by him unofllclally In personal Interviews wit It the men who shape Great lltltaln's foielgn policy The record of his contact with diplomatic problems Is onp of victory almost at every point, for he has been for forty years a student of International policies, enjoying exceptional means of Insight Into the motive nnd main springs of foreign diplomatic action and he knows every point in tho game, I'ven the cnnnl treaty, tempor.irll ciltlclzed, Is a monument to his fore slcht nnd nsttltencss nnd will so be recognized after the fog lifts. The Government Is certainly fortunate In havins such n man nt tho head of Its slate depattmeiit at a time when there Is so much call for ability, experience and fatslghledness In the guidance of our foreign relations. One hopeful nspect of the Chinese situation Is tin? fnct that the most tilt o news comes from Shanghai, many miles from the seat of government, and In almost every ease lacks con fli matton. The Dowager Kmpross of China seems to have been only slightly under the inllueuco of the drug. Hon. David H. Hill is not expected to descend very fnr from tho perch for another four years. Mr. Tow tie's time could be profitably employed In perusing a biography of Hon. Tom Watson. The otlginal Dewey men are now get ting under the electric fans. Where Strikes Are Uirttrally Unknown From the Springfield Republican. o1 F i:CI.FriONAI. practical interest touching tho labor problem, and especially timely In the t'nlted State, at the present moment, is Henry I). Lloyd's little book, under the title "A Country Without Strikes," which de scribes the Hops and operation, of the com pul,ory arbitration law adopted about the years aco in New Zealand, a country which Mr. I.loyd has recentel) visited for the purpose of studying its tnmy ami radical social and lalior reform,. An introduction by William P. Keeves, former inlnliter of labor and author of the arbitration law, is a feature of the book. Voluntary arbitration i, now n familiar expe dient in the t'nlled Staton and elsewhere. It I1.11 been deemed the only tolerable and practi cable kind of aibltratlon It lilt been the re sort of those who admit the need of interien. tion in the w.ilfjre of labor and cabital, nnd who hue ntked and he rec-ciied no satisfactory an-wor to the inirntlon,: How cm the decrees of a compulsory arbitration be enforced? Will you compel workmen to work acaln,t their will? Will you compel capital to operate on losing term,? And so we have had voluntary arbitm tie 11 board, created which volunteer their services and rarely have them accepted They hale imply been jiwtled aside as workmen and cm plojers come to blow,, and arp almost invnilahly ju-t as intere-sleil anil a, lielple spectators of the strike ai the sineral public. o lleforo picxsing a siheme of compulore arbi tration upon the New Zeahnd parliament, Mr Ileeies studied the workings of voluntary arbi tration wherewr applied. He found it unltir ullv uwle,, or piaetieally so. The Alassachu utt, boird seemed to him the most cflleient cf tho lot, but we- hac only recently rointed to the fact that the state is pajlnj J,IKU a ear to rath of the.e arbitration commis.loner, for sonlccs which hae not bien generally of visi ble form ond substance, tnd which oppear to be becoming more and mole imierieptlble. And jet tl.i, "ew Zealinder tells 113 that the fault is not with the commUsicncrs. It it with the s.istem, which is described bj him 0, a hsm, e The New Zealand compulsory aibitratlon law the only one in the world of 1t1ltt.1l .11 plieitlon (inw out of the mirltime strike ot ten eears at.o, which spread untold losses and bitter fielini; -lid sulTerlnir all over the colony. The laborei, wer, deflated in that strike, but it pinied to be till most notable single vittor eei won by thf worklngmen. Fie years later, after muth agi tation nnd persistent pressure in pirliament from the minister of labor the present system wa, adopted, and it Is almost erough to tay f"r it that there' lias not since been a strike worth mentioning throughout New Zealand. 'Ihe liw doe, not forte arbitration upon the dh-putants though it mar latei be amended to do so. It force, arbitration only on appeal from either one or both of the pirtles In dispute. Once an appeal his Iwen made, the case goes through to an award, ami both parties must abhla ly it. o There are boards of conciliation which flrt hear cases Then .1 Judge of the Supreme court ot the colcnv, selected for the purpose, bits as a court of arbitration tn pile Judgment and award on c.ims coming up from the conciliation boards. Laborer are encouraged to organic? in union,, which are Incorporated by law, Manu ficturers or tmployci, may also otganlre tr combine. This Mii.res a responsible flnnntlal body on the part of the workmen, with which the- sllte call deal In cnforelnir it, aard,, the I e unities being fines. If ,'inv oremUed Imdi nt 1 .borers and scun men In any one employment can form the nisi lies into u union under the law If am such bodv of men hire a grievance, such as in-;utfic lent wage, they tan appeal to the I001I board of com illation, and therempon their employer must come before the board with them, whither he wants to or not. The state of his alfalr, is then Inquired Into. IPs books are subject to Inspection, and he can state Ills side of the case-. The men f resent their side, and are obliged to do this themsebei or through one or more of their number, no hired counsel being: wanted or allowed. Meantime, work cois em it the factory as If nothing had happened. If Ihe final award Is for higher wage, the em ployer must concede the point. If be refuse lie Is fined, and the case I, reiiied against him by tho. men, and be would thus be fined ngiln and again until he jlehled, or chose to suspend operations. o Tint In fact little trouble ha, o far been ex peileneed In making the awards effective. The court of arbitration Is very generally- resorted to for the acttlcinri ts of deputes, and its awards are very generally accepted In gooel faith. An important I 1 1 1 1 Is that the case for both sldt, Is glien publicity; the facts upon which the award is based- aside from the warrantable busl. niss srerets of the employer are available to oil, and tublle opinion U thu, brought In o.s an Im portant factor in bending the one side or the other tn the decree Olher udiantage, mcured by Ihe law, besides Industrial peace, arc u uni formity of wage, for like wotk In like trades, which extends, In force of example, from the d-erce ef the court In a single case throughout the colony Wages nnd term, are fixed so that liiaiiufiicliners can plan their btnlntiss and rtiier Into contrails without fr.ar of labor ulsturhsnee, mid workmen, in a eonfldince as to the future neicr known before, can marry, buy land and bullI homes.

"Time and again," say, (be Cincinnati Com merclal Tribune, "The assertion has been made by friends of Mr. Ilryan that he is strontr today than four years ago. Of course, the truth or falsity of this idea cannot be estab lished, nor will It lie, until the votes are cast and counted next November. Hut it Is open to argument We think he is weaker now than he was in lBOO. Take the paramount issue, as the Democrats choose to call it.antl-imperiali-ni Will that make Democracy a winner? Is theie any serious disaffection among thousands, or mil lions, of voters over the course taken by the Republican admlnl,tratlon in its dealing, with the new Islands? Ha, there been any outcry oier the possession of the Islands, or the gov ernment of the natives, as far aa it has pro gressed? Are the people scared? Hale they skown in late election, that the administration was unworthy of confidence and that imperialism was going tn carry America to the deninltian bow-wows? We bale not noticed It. In fact, a.s far as vie can se-e, the people are paying but little ottcntion to this matter. Of course, the Democrats the regular iiyed-ln-thc-wool product are shouting thcmselie, hoarse over the danger to the Republic, and they will vote for Ilryan and the whole ticket. Rut that Is liecause they are Democrats. Their action villi add no new strength to Mr. Bryan. Then it is well to re member that not a few Democrats ot adianclng tendencies) will not hesitate to turn from the old partv by reason of its Insularity and littleness, Thev want to up this nation in the lead of the worldly procision, and if it is tn get there and stay there, it will be only bv continuing the Re publican party in power. s to tho silver busi ness, no one ot reason can see where Mr. Rryan is stronger by reason of that exploded fallacy. Prosperity killed tint ond maele It n dead issue liven in the we-t, where it had some strength n few years ago, it has gone glimmering, except among Democrats whn haie always been Demo crats and always will be. Is It not, then, a fair conclusion that Mr. Bryan will be beatm again, and even more declsliely than he wa.s beaten four year, ago?"

In a statement C.ovcrnor Waller siys: "I was a Democrat and a boiler In l"l, and a, the situation ha, not 1 hanged, I am a Dmioeiat and a bolter still 1 rejoice that the Ilryan con vention distinctly nnd definitely rellirated the lfl to 1, Socialist Populist plank of the Cliieagu platform instead ot concealing its intent and character by hoisting, as pirates some time do, an attractive and alluring Hag. The imperialism, militarism and the other ingredients of the Kin Hi Cltv platform may be well enough in them selves, but they are only used to lesien the foul taste of the 10 to 1 dose of poison the compos! tlon contolns. The attempt ot the Kansas pin form to mislead thoughtful people by declaring that other issues will be made In the campaign more prominent than the 11 to 1 heresy is too appannt and too silly to accomplish much harm " Sivs ex-Prerldent Cleveland: "I had mo.t ardently hoped and eleslrcil that the platform to be constructed nt Kansis City would be con sistent with the prof, ftdont of ilinse in chirge of Democratic management, to the efffct that harmonlrlng discordant sentiment In the partv was an object of supreme Importance. In thee circumstances, the Incorporation of a .perifle demand for free silver at the ratio ol lfl to 1 Is, of course, a great surprise and disappoint ment. On the bails of such a declaration Hie method by which Ihe parly I, to be harmonized, and Democracy Is to gain the confidence and sup port of our thinking and refl'ctive e-ltiiens Is beyond my comprehension." Mr. Cleveland ie. fused to discuss the ticket. Tho Rurlington flaretle, one of the oldest Dem ocratic papers in Iowa, editorially repudiates the action of th convention and predicts defeat for the Kansas City ticket. The following com ments arc from leading Democrats, both cf them prominent in party and business affairs in Bur lington, la.: William Carson, Jr. "I have al ways been a Democrat, hut never a Populist, I don't think It l necessary to say any more, I am not for Rryan and 18 tn 1." fl, II, Premier, leading Herman merchant "The Democratic party lost tti chance of victory when, to please the 1 vanity of one man who wants tn dictate, they put In their plitform the pi ink for the fiee and unlimited tolnagc of slliir at the ratio ol 10 lo 1," A lively rue I Inn Is promised in Umpire slate Dunne ratio polities In eon-oi'iicnic of Richard Tinker's brutal treatment of Divld it Hill at Kansas City.

The up state Democracy are not fond of being used as a door mat by the Van Wyek ice trust ging and they propose to assert tholr Independence. Say e Congressman Charles Traeey, a lead ing Democrat, of Albany, N. Y : "It 1, a rad spectacle to see so large a body of citizens ap parently endeavoring to depreciate the good money of the country. I cantot understand, the spirit which induces a r-irty to misrepresent the government of tint country by asserting that Its executive desires tn make practically a change in the form of government, while a, n mattrr of fact there Is no evidence in the .iillnn of the fuleral admlnislraticn or in the Republican plat form to forte upon the country what has bmi termed in the Demoera'lc platfoim Imperialism " "Thewe who read newspapers which give the news well understand," says the Philadelphia Times, referring to the I.urerne primaries, "that Senator Scott openly declared himself as against Quay's re-election and was supported by the dis tinctly anti-ejuay people; while Drury, although not publiclv committed on the issue, was sup ported by the friends of (Juay." Nebraska Ins never furnished the country with a president, or Illinois with a vice president, except tephenson. The only Republican can didate fin vice president nominated from Illi nois was defeated ill ls-l. In omitting nil reference to an income lax, the Kansas City platform makers manufactured a lot of embarrassment for Colonel Ilryan. BRYANISM A DISEASE. From Harper's Weekly.

I don't know that the smells had anything to do with upsetting my stomach, but I came away from that place with about the worst digestive apparatus I ever knew about and it was complicated with insomnia. When I did sleep I was not much refreshed. With a headache every morning, little sleep and no appetite for food, I lost twenty-five pounds in weight and my friends said my disposition was worse than my physical api carancc. It was by the recommendation of a member of my own family that I first used Uipans Tabulcs, but the result was satisfactory and imme diate. I soon gained in weight all I had lost and added three pounds more, and never in my life was my appetite better or my sleep more sound and refreshing thin now. My daughter, who was troubled 'villi a distress after eating, took some of tho Tannics on my recommendation and says lic think they are splendid. We are both well now, I was 44 years of age on the 17th of February.
