Perhaps so, brother, and perhaps not. If only
the man could be found to keep the party to-
gether, perhaps ho. Pertfctps it would be better
to say, if only the man could be foucd that would
inspire confidence and unity in the warring advo-
cates of the different ideas. A great many people
believe that while the silver question cut some
figure in 18%, it did not much in 1900 and that
it was anti-imperialism, or rather anti-expansion
that cut the mustard in 1900. But according to
the Inquirer's thinking, neither one cut the figure
attributed to them. The Inquirer believes that
the defeat of the party Was not due to Bryan or J
what he stood for in particular, but the American ¡
people were on a "prosperity spree." By the ex-
travagant expenditures during the war and;
changed conditions after a few years of stagnation,

The lust for money brings an indifference to the
taking of human life, and after that a lust for
blood is only a little way off.
Again we remark that no man who possesses the in-
stinct* of a gentleman will try to settle his subscription
account by shoving it back in thc office marked "refused."
The Inquirer keeps every paper that is thus marked and
shov«d back and has a very nice collection. We were
•bowing them to a friend the other day who remarked that
there were a few names among them that he did not believe
capable of such a contemptiably small act. But one never
knows when he is dealing with a "whitened supulchur"
these days. There are men who appear on the outside to
be cult used and manly but within are "all uncleaniiness."
We wouldn't take a dollar a piece for these papers. Cam-
rron Inquirer,
There arc very few newspaper men who do
not have a few specimens of thc above species of
the human family to deal with and the business
manager of the News-Chkokici.k is no exception,
but there are certainly very few here—at least
very few who can get their names on ou;* list.
PERHAPS SO, PERHAPS SOT.

The democratic party will have a walkover 1W4, in if a
man is nominated who can keep the party together. Had
it not been for the free and unlimited coinage of silver
plank, the democratic party, according to our judgment,
would have come to power in U'SMi. The silver issue wan
the cause of defeat. Now again in I'KXl the silver issue
was inserted in the platform and caused another defeat.
We do not doubt Mr. Bryan's ability as a statesman, but
free silver is dead, and if we want to win a victory, must
remain dead. The tight in thc next campaign must he
made along entirely different line . Had our political
wise-acre* dropped the silver issue in 1900 as they were
told in 1896 by the ballot bos, and made thc fight on im-
lism only, it would have been a walkover. Imperial-
was made thc paramount issue, but free silver was
held fast for four terrific yearn and required the
compacted forces of two :;reat continents ti
shatter and bring to surrender.
History, though leaden-shod, arrives after all
and thc times are coming slowh but surely when
the soldier of the gray jacket will be written down'
and universally read of as one of the most ap-j
provable patriots and heroes of the ages. Who
cares that even yet the meretricious politicians of
the winning side call him "rebel" or "traitor?"!
What matters it that a timid, popularity-eraving|
sentiment yet bars him from et^ual justice with
those against whom he fought? He has faced
worse missiles than pension-stuffed epithet and j
has borne more serious hardships than disbar-
ment from office!
The Confederate soldier fought for principles
that he believed were ;is right as the oracles of
Holy Writ and all the arguments of politics and
all the arbitraments of war can never change the
fact. He perilled all he owned and life itself to
sustain the cause that embodied to him thc dear-
est interests of his people and the highest obliga-
tions of patriotism- and mortal men have never
yet done more in any cause that triumphed! But
when his cause was lost the Confederate soldier
did not shirk from his imminent d;.ty or shirk
the sufferings, humiliations and privations de-
manded in the work of conforming to thc new
order of things that came upon him. And in the
past thirty-seven years he has wrought marvels
of regeneration and rehabilitation in his Southland
until the world counts him today a greater hero
for hi* victories of peace than for his valor and
prowess in a fateful war.
These glorious old veterans of thc gray are
gathering annually in thinner and more pathetic
columns, but tbeir people love and honor them as
the elect of the land we love. That their re*
union at Dalian may be full of pleasure to every
one of them it the prayer of the whole Southland.
