TAMMANY passes along the word to fight Bryanlsm, after the latter Hung his glove directly in the face of the Tiger. Emperoh William's ten-year-old son has been enrolled in the army, lie will command the Boys' Brigade, no doubt. Senator Quay, being the choice of the great majority of the Republican members of the Legislature, and the caucus nominee, should succeed him self in the United States Senate. He is handicapped, however, in the sup port given him by a Democratic paper, which fact was brought out at the hearing of the legislative investigat ing committee. There are many reasons why the volunteers still in service in Cuba should be mustered out. Some part of them left occupations which they should resume at the earliest practic able moment. Some have dependent families whose maintenance requires larger earnings than a private soldier can in uke. These classes should be relieved of the disabilities of camp life as speedily as possible. There are others who may prefer military service, and who, if honorably dis charged, would probably enlist in the regular army under the new law. Fighting Bryanlsm. Presidential importance is rapidly being attached to the controversy be tween Perry Belmont, president of the Democratic Club of New York, on one side, and William Jennings Bryan on the other. Tlje issue has been squarely made. It Is the Demo crats of the Eust against the Demo crats of the West. The Presidential campaign of 1000 can be said to haye started in March, 1890. There seems scant possibility for the calling in of the edict declaring war on Bryan on the part of the Croker braves. For Mr. Perry Bel mont, who is not in the habit of be ing so boldly and uncompromisingly criticised, hag sworn that Bryan shall rue the day he attempted to revise the New Yorker's creed. Bryan's re mark that Belmont's presence at the Jefferson feast would not honor the memory of "the world's greatest Democrat" cuts with the sharpness of a two-edged sword set with serpent's teeth. For Mr. Belmont considers that Mr. Belmont's presence at any function is all that Is necessary to the success of that function. He has taken the attitude of tho small boy who discusses with another small boy their respective importances in the juvenile world. The Dollar Democrats, by the way, think Mr. Bryan will be their guest on the night of April 15, the young gentleman from Nebraska having al lowed that if the spread were post poned for a couple of days and called by his name he might condescend to make his subjects happy. This the leaders of the movement are not xa- willing to do, although there is an element in the body whioh is opposed to saddling the affair with the title of a Chicago platform banquet. Mr. Bryan is going to explain be fore a gathering of Milwaukee oitl zens on the night of April 13 the dastardly attempt that has been made to oruoify the workingman on a oross of gold and the part that he, Bryan, took In attempting to prevent the slaughter. Consequently the young gentleman will be unable to be in New York on the date whioh hod been set for the Jefferson dinners. But, if the Dollar Democrats will be good boys and do as they are told, their fountain head may spurt a few spurts for their greater glory on the night of April 15. This is the present programme, and tha leaders of the Dollar move jnent openly express their delight at the prospect. Changes may be made in the arrangement, however, for the extent of a silver fanatio's caprices no man knoweth and few claim to be uble to foretell.

If the blood is disordered, the brain is starved, and no "dish is a feast," for the reason that the vitalizing elements do not reach the proper spot.
