An anxious search for principles ex
plains Mr. Bryan's present activity.
An object in life for the democratic
party ia what he aeeks. Democratic
prospects and issues are at low tide.
The champions of negation were never
wore puzzled than now. They are slow
to admit it, but know that free coinage
has lost its bold upon a great number
who voted for it in 1S96. No converts
can be found. Democrats in sound
money states are tired of defeat follow
ing fresh appeals to the people for cur
rency debasement. States are against
silver that were for it four years ago.
The Eastern democrats have had enough
of the Chicago platform. Iowa demo
crats heretofore for silver declare that
the time has come to drop it. They are
satisfied that Iowa is for honest cur
rency by an enormous majority. The j
Pacific states have become a wall of
granite against cheap dollars. In all
except a few Southern states this feel
ing is general. Silver is unavailable for
the paramount i-'soe this year. But the
national conventions meet shortly and
it is time to look around for keynotes
and a campaign basis.
Since Mr. Bryan resigned from the
army and began to circulate in New
York and other Atlantic states, there
bas been a democratic flourish on the
subject of trusts. The people know,
however, that there is a broad margin
between what democratic platforms
promise and what they accomplish.
For the two years following March 4,
1863, the democrats bad control of all de
partments of the government. On the
subject of trusts the national democratic
platform said : "We believe their worst
evils can be abated by law, and we de
mand the rigid enforcement of the laws
made to prevent and enforce them, to
gether with such further legislation in
restraint of their abuses as experience ( even
may show to be necessary." The demo
crats had full swing for two yean.
something they cannot regain for at
least the next four years and failed to
make the slightest impression on the
trusts. They must excuse skepticism
concerning new pledges. Their oppor
tunity was neglected in 1893 and 1894,
and their trust piecrust for 1900 will
natarallly be subject to a discount.
Everything indicate that the demo
crats will get hold of the wrung end of
expansion. Before the conventions
meet the Philippine policy will be de
veloped and working smoothly. Quite
a number of democrats are fighting
what they call imperialism. It is a
creation of their own fancy. The United
States has acquire! no new territory by
wanton seizure or diplomatic trickery-
Hawaii, whose soil geographically, be-

many people will believe, and argue, I mistake, though plainly demauded by

senceot some great political convulsion conferred could proceed to intelligently
and upheaval, such as cannot be easily
imagined, there is really no more room
for doubt of McKinley's re-election than
that Pennsylvania will go republican
and Mississippi democratic.
Therk will be fun when the demo
crats insert the anti-expansion plank in
their platform of 1900. A former Bryan
organ says "While the trimmer and
catch-penny politician is lying low and
hesitating which side of the question to
take, Mr. Bryan unhesitatingly commits
himself against expansion. As a policy
of deliberate word conquest we quite
agree with him, it would be contrary to
American ideals. As an nnforseen con
tingency of war, that bas fallen on the
American people, we believe it is our
duty as a nation to bravely and squarely
meet the responsibility."
WHAT IS BRYAN'S POLITICS?
The editor of tie Medford Free Press,
a populist paper, has this to say about
William Jennings Bryan's politics:
"Bryan has run around over these
United States so much in the past four
years that be ia completely turned
around, up-side-down, inside-out, until
he don't know "where he is at." He
don't know east from west, north from
south, one state from another, America
from Mexico, or whether it is winter or
summer, daylight or midnight; or if the
sun ia the sun, or whether the moon is
the planet Mars. He don't know if he
is a democrat, republican or populist; a
know which be wants anv more, cold or
silver or braes or copper. He don't
know whether he baa expanded or is
about to expand or whether he is just
about "busied." In fact, he don t know
his name any more. Sometimes he
thinks he is McKinley, then Mark
Hanna. then Sampson, and Washington.
and then again Benedict Arnold. He
imagines, sometimes, that his
! nmriA in ()tin nr Aviiinliln nr Punnnvar
or Charley Nickell. There, is onlvone
thing that he does know, and that ia, he
is a candidate for president and will
ai-cept a nomination on any ticket, re
gardless of principle."
A FOOL OF AX ACT.
equalize the returns as furuislu-d by
many ol me assessors. Itie remedy
lies beyond the power of any board of
equalization, ami must be found, when
found at all, in legislation that gets after
the assessors. To be sure, the present
law in that respect seems to be iron
clad, but wholly inoperative, and while
the complaints seem to have been grow
ing loudt-r as the years go by, the under
valuation grows apace, and so does the
scramble for position iu the various
counties. Of course capital punish
ment is not to be thought of.
"The difficulties in the matter of
equalizing the returns of the assessors
is illustrated by the summary of our
principal counties as returned to the
secretary of state. There are headings
prepared for the amounts and values of
'milea of railroad bed,' 'miles of tele
graph and telephone lines.' 'steamboats,
sailboats, stationary engines, etc.,' and
'railroad rolling stock.' Instead of re
turning these separately, aa contem
plated by law, and as provided in the
printed form, the miles of railroad bed
and telegraph and telephone lines are
returned in a lump sum, aa to value and
aa to miles. So ia the value of steam
boat, sailboats, engines and railroad
stock.! So burj of equalization on
eara.1 could even begin to 'equalize' the
value ot railroad slock, tor instance, nor
of telegraph and telephone lines, for
they are not returned separately. Ac
cording to the retnrns there is no way
of knowing how many mi Iti pf rai!roeu
bed there are in that county, although
the law requires such return, nor of the
value or railroad rolling stock, for it
has been returned with the value of
steamboats in a lump sum !
"Of coursa this low valuation would

Some clerks in some counties of this
state contend that the bunglesotne reg
istry law bequeathed to the inhabitants
of this commonwealth by the late la
mented at Salem, makes it incumbent
upon the naturalized voter who desires
to register, that lie produce his original
naturalization papeni or declaration of
intention. This is a fool of an act.
Thousands of original papers having
been Bled in the various land offices of
the United States, in connection with
applications for government lands nndrr
i me acta oi congress, are no longer in
possession of the naturalized citizen.
I Are such to be disfranchised by an act
j such as this? Eminent legal authority

if the low values were uniform. But it
is an injury to the reputation of the
state abroad where the results alone
are known and the causes are not un
derstood. It must be said for the assess
ors, however, that there has been a
partially developed public sentiment
that has, in a measure, justified this
method of undervaluation, evidently
thinking that in Some way it made the
burden of taxation lighter. We cannot
fool ourselves in this matter much
longer, and if this ridiculously low val
uation and inequality will serve the
purpose of stimulating the next legisla
ture to investigate the question of secur
ing fair .assessments and to provide a
board of equalization of three members
elected by the people, with power that
will approach arbitrary authority in the
matter of completing the work of par
tial assessors, the people will in the long
run have gained by the result of it.
There will be no question before the
next legislature that will compare in
importance with this one, and it is to be
hoped it will be successfully met and
solved."

Struck Tbeir Waterloo.
Suffragists have struck their Waterloo
on the proposed amendment to the con

satisfaction expressed regarding the
registration law. Many voters seem to
overlook the fact that registrations are
made for two years not for the election
to be held in June, alone. Unites you
are registered before May 15th you will
be deprived of the privilege of voting at
any election to be held during the next
succeeding two yeara, including the
presidential election in November. It
is imperative, therefore, that a strict
observance of the law is had if any
elector be privileged to vote.
