It would not be surprising If there was u sudden collapse of the insurrection. FOREIGH OPINION ON THE ELECTION The satisfaction expressed by the | British and German newspapers gen- cally with the results of our presiden- tlal election is due mainly to financial and trade considerations, though the question of international relations is not | lost sight of. The British und British | press and British financiers regard this | second overwhelming vietory for sound | money as of world-wide importance and | in this they do not overestimate it.| There was apprehension in Europe and | particularly in England that demoeratic #uccess would disturb and unsettle the financial world and this fear had a re strictive influence upon business theve | as well as bere. This danger having been averted a revival of business is ex- | pected and doubtless will be realized. It was also feared that democratic sue- cess might sooner or later bring about an impairment of the friendly relations between England and the United State and whether or not this apprehension was well founded the fact that the r publican administration, whose policy it is to cultivate friendship with all na- tions, is to continue, is reassuring. The expressions of the leading Ger- man newspapers are exceedingly cor- dial and even in government circles hearty satistaction is felt. One paper say: iermany can only rejolce at the further strengthening and solidifi cention of the economic conditions in the United States,” and it declares that Me- Kinley's election Is of great hmportance not only for North American Industrial iuterests, “but also for the entire com werce of the world, which is vitally in terested in a gold standard in the United | States.” Another expresses sattsfaction | because “the re-elected president has won the confidence of our government and our diplomats by constant efforts to | maintain good relations between Ger- | many and the United States” and it| thinks MecKinley's election means a continuance of these relations. 1t is a fact that the friendship between the two countries was never more cordial than at present and there is every rea- son to expect that the administration will make every effort to maintain this friendship. It 1s to be presumed that this 1s well understood by German Amerleans and that it was not without influence with them. In nearly all these foreign comments there is a hearty recognition of the statesmanlike course of President M- Kinley. While many of his own coun ymen profess to sce little in his ad ministeation to commend, foreigners generally vegard bim as one of the greatest statesmen this country has pro- duced. As to the suggestion In some of these oplnlons that republican sue- cess means a4 more aggressive forelgn policy, such an inference is erroneeus. It simply means that what we have we shall hold. The republican party, sldered charges of a heated political campalign. while declaring that the territory “to | dirs | popular 1i THE questionable title—a title recognized and acknowledged by the elvilized na tions of the world—shall not be aban doned, 1s not in favor of acquiring wore territory and we believe that no one would oppose any proposition to do so more earnestly and firmly than Mr. Mc Kinley himself. [t should also be re marked that the republican victory was not an endorsement of imperialism, b cause nothing in the remotest de like Imperialism Is Involved In repub- lican polle OMAHA DAI INTEREST IN 1Hb ELECTION RETURNS, Although the campaign just closed did not come up to records in point of absorbing public attention, the popular interest in the election returns wanitested by the people tn this section was never wore intense and the signs of satistaction over the result never uore pronounced, especially in Omaha. The avidity with which the publie selzed upon every bit of election news that bore upon coutested territory has | been particularly noticeable. It is sate to say that more election extras of the newspapers have been sold in this cf in the past two duys than in the same time following any preceding election, national or stute. Whether this is a good omen or a bad owen we need not deterwine, ex. cept to comment upon the widespread iutelligence of the people which fwpels them to take a personal concern in the politics of the nation and | fusist upon passing their own judgment upon the clection figur S previous hus long as the people manifest this ot and vital interest in their goveru went, alurias about pretended danger to iy are out of place, LIBERAL PARTY The general election In Canada Wednesday resulted in favor of the liberal party, which made cousiderable gains over the vote of three years ago.

In view of the cnormous gains scored by the republican ticket In nearly every state is it not a falr conclusion that the issues of the recent campaign were settled right? The Bee's election figures have led the entire procession.

A CAMPAIGN OF VAGARI A Few Democratic ( Things Past. Detroit Free Press (nd. dem.) 1t is only because vagaries Is a word coy- erlug everything outside of tho normal and usual course of events that it Is selected in making this designation. Responsibility for its use rests chiefly with Mr. Bryan. Had he left the representatives of the peo- ple to themselves when they assembled in convention at Kansas City they would have constructed a platform upon which even he m have won. But he would not ae- quicsce in the will of that body. He must have n duplicate of the Chicago platform. The silver plank must be inserted or he would refuse to run, and by this very in sistence on his part tho flnancial question was forced to the Importance of a para- mount tssue. Aftor the party declaration was made the eastern wing of the Irreconcilables de- manded that the free silver issue should be subordingted. In compliance with this protest Mr. Bryan made a partial accept- ance at Indianapolis, posting imperialism as the most Important question to be passed upon by the American people. Imperialism falling to stampede the enem Mr. Bryan insisted pon again mounting Lis favorite hobby and took ad vantage of a4 western locality for advo- cating his fnancial theories. One experi- mental test was enough. He met no more formidable opposition than in the minority of his own ill-assorted party, and from that time to this has thwarted every effort to ascertain what he would attempt to do with the menetary intercsts of the nation If elected. His refusal to answer questions was the more annoying to those who were trying to stand as his frieuds because his attempts to dodge and at t same time concillate the public were so clumsy and 80 comscious as to increase the bad temper which he sought to a The next shift of the dictatorial leader was to trusts, an fssue upon which the par- ties and platforms are in unison.

Kansas City Journal (rep.): In over- throwing Bryanism the American people— particularly the business interests—have slmply procecded o the principle of self- preservation. Kansas City Star (ind): The lesson of the election ought to be entirely clear to the democratic party. It is that the only hope of that misguided orgaoization Is to attach itself firmly to a principle which will command r and stay by it. Its ruin bas been the practice of taking up with some idea or notion which It has as- sumed would be popular with the people and carry It into power. In the pursuit of this weak aud viclous policy it has re- versed itself oo most of the cardinal articles of faith which once made it power- ful. It may now see to what this sacrifice of Integrity has brought it. | . Paul Ploneer Press (rep.): The Ne- braska republicans have mot ouly won the ate for McKinley, but the control of the legislature, thus defeating the scheme of sending Bryan to the senate. What will Dryan do now? He would like, no doubt, fler having led the democratic party to disastrous defeat in two battles, to make a third attempt to win the presidential crown of thorus. But the candidate who been discredited by two such over- whelming defeats is not likely to be in- trusted with the leadership of his party a third time. He bas fought his last bat- Ue as a presidential candidate. He has not only lost his battle, but his cause It {s not only Bryan, but Bryanism that Is defeated. His party will not only repudi- ate hiy leadership, but his principles, his theories, all that he stands for in his revolutionary and anarchic echeme of pol- itics. Free silver is dead forever. Chicugo American (dem.): The first cause of defeat was the intrusion of the silver issue. Free silver was dead and so unpopular that even its corpse was enough to drag any man down to defeat. The second was the policy of cutting loose en- tirely from the Philippines. That was no in accord with the spirit of the American people. The people have evidently made up their minds to dispoxe of free silver once for all. The effort was superfluous, for free silver had ceased to exist as & possible policy four years ago, but the voters were determined mot to have the remains lying around any longer. The democratic party has paid by two defeats e adpoption of an unpopular and dis- credited issue. Free gllver was defensi- ble in 1896, although even then its advo- cates had an uphill fight. But everything that has happened in the st four years 15 helped to bury it deeper In the grave- ard of obsolete Issues. Mingeapolis Times (ind.) against Mr. Bryan's success was fear of the man and his policy—fear unjustified, \lloglcal and ungrounded, perhaps, but In- hercnt and abiding. The financlal tenets of the eloquent Nebraskan afirighted the majority of the prosperous and made even th who accumulate little or, nothing timorous. He held his opinfons on silver in abeyance, but never played traitor to them or denied their hold upon him. Many too, who would earnestly deprecate im- perfalism if existent in our policy, refused to accept such existence as real, prefer- ring to boliove that the great American natiou not only could, but surely would work out our new problem to the better- went of allen millions and the glory and profit of the vepublic. As to militarism it was pever a real Issue. Facts, history, our innate conceptions of what Is right all discounted the statement that we were to ape Europe in its armics or make the soldler greater than the citizen. e has Most potent PERSONAL NOT The colored people of Washington are getting fogether a fund for a statue of Cassius M.
