Colonel Watterson Wants Ne?
braska Leader to Abandon
His Tariff Activities. ^
Louisville, Ky? June 2.?Under th?
caption, "Coma Off, Mr. Bryan." Mr.
"Watterson suys in the Courier-Journal:
"liven Theodoru Hooscvelt contrived
to weather the tariff and Jcave it t?*
Iiis successor. It was quite certain
that when the Democrats took the
initiative they would require among
themselves a compromising spirit, ask?
ing and reasonably expecting of tho
public patience and forbearance. AVlth
this in mind. It seems to us that Mr.
Underwood lias thus far displayed good
qualities of constructive statesmanship
and legislative leading.
"?The Democrats have acquired in
Congress merely tho right to propose.
They simply 'have the door' In thf!
lower house. First, and above all else, 1
they needs must show the capacity to ,
Mo' and outlive und refute tho accusa?
tion of 'excess.' The country has swal?
lowed enough of dogma. What the peo?
ple want is deed:'.
Warning to Peerless One.
"William Jennings Bryan owes it to
his own fame, aswoll as to his fellow
Democrats, to proceed warily and go
slow In Hie matter of censorship, lie
should be- very mire both of his footing
and his Judgment before attempting to
stir the depths and muddy the stream
Jlis three defeats for the presidency
not only bring him In lifelong debt to
his political associates, but .they ad?
monish him not to be too self-conti
dent, It seems the part of wisdom for
a hi Hi i now occupying his exceptional
position to rest awhile from agita?
tions, even from counsels, and to let
well enough have a chance In the race
after perfection.
"We are beginning to hear talk
about 'the doctrine of freo raw mate?
rials.' it is as thee haiter of children.
There can no more be a 'doctrine' on i
such a subject than a 'doctrine' touch-'
lng 'the free coinage of silver at tho
ratio of sixteen to one.' Having gone
to destruction upon the rocks raised
up by the latter, shall the shallows
ol the other be allowed to impede our
onward course, to perplex and undo us?
Fing Still Aloft.
"The Courier-Journal can hardly be
accused and cannot be suspected of a
disposition to lower its flag In the
matter of the tariff. it is the last
survivor of the old guard of revenue
reform. Heart-broken, It saw its party
fatally shipwrecked by most incom?
petent navigation, literally wrecked in
port. It hud ahandonod hope. Yet it
has lived to seo the question come
again.
"Taking counsel of the past?even
of some of Its own mistakes which Mr.
Bryan now would copy?it will seek
in the coming battle for tho right to
achieve rather than to theortve und
j declaim.
"The Democratic party has for the
llrst time In sixteen years enjoyed
a little spell of sunshine. We have a
living chance to win. But we are not
yet musters of the situation.
"So come nway, Mr. Bryan. Avast
there, and leave the boys a chance to
start the old carryall of Democracy In
their own way, not In your way. The
Courier-Journal Is your friend, not
your'enemy. Come off, before your
enemies have the right to say that
with you It is rule or ruin."

ho would consider the case of the con?
demned w>aman, If the application tor a
purdon Is presented to him through the
regular chamiftls of tho Department of

It would bo a stain on our national

tence commuted I will sec thai tho
