Prosperous railways iudicate a
prosperous country. No nation can
thrive when its commercial arteries
are clogged.
Those enterprising cities where
the population figures have not come
up to expectations are in a position
to sympathise with Mr. Bryan b
lS'Jt) nretlictions.
Mr. Bryan's speech of acceptance,
taken in connection with the plank
he torced into the Kansas City plat
form, entitles him to be known as
the Emperor of Evasion.
The pressure oi public sen timent
has compelled the New York police
to close some of the most notorious
dives in that city. Thus is Tam
many's source of revenue for cam
aign purposes materially oontratcted.
