VOLUME 49, DREAMERS IN POLITICS. It may be true, as several Republican speakers assert, that Mr, Bryan fs a dreamer, but he 1s not the only dreamer in tho land. Some of his} visions and the interpretations that he has placed upon them have not| @ppealed to men of good judgment, Others have been hailed with enthu- siasm as omens of promise, Men who dream at al] are likely to dream a @eat deal, and sometimes to a purpose. More to the point just now Is the fact that several m{!l!ons of Demo- erats are dreaming also. They dream of a time when privilege and wrong @hall disappear from government; t chased; they dream of peace and justi dream of elections free and unpur- e; they dream of eq al rights; they dream of the day when jingoism shall be no more and when foreign adven- ture shall cease; they dream, too, of a government economically admini tered, with no largesses to favored interests and no crushing burdens upon Andustry, These are dreams worth while. To the extent that Mr. Bryan {indulges in visions of this kind his imaginings will injure nobody and he will have @n abundance of company, Every such dream, no matter what its source, cannot fail to be an inspiration to the people Irrespective of their political | prejudices, To be at peace, to be free, to promote justice, to enjoy equa) opportu titles, to reap ‘he full rewards of industry, to take no part in the oppres- | sion of others, to escape the yoke of privilege and plutocracy and to be telleved of the exactions that always attend upon extravagance and waste —are not these glorious dreams, and are they not worthy of every honest man's most serious consideration? One man’s dreams are not always significant, but the dreams that mill- fons dream are true, and eventually they will come to pass. eed USING THE FISTS. The best defense that is made of boxing !s that It famflarizes men | with the art of self-defense, and the most that can be sald in behalf ot} Drize fighting is that it {s favored in those countries whose people are more Ukely to resent injury with their fists than with knives or firearms. Like most other sports, the tendency of boxing !s always downward and so we have the brutal and brutall ng prize ring, which, In aplte of | all {ts degradation, many fairly reapectable people continue to take all Uvely taterest. If we could have boxing without bruising !t ts probable that the skilful use of the fists would be held in higher esteam than ts now the rule, A wise New Jersey judge, called upon to deal with many cases of hom- felde and assault with deadly weapons, has seriously proposed that public Gymnasiums be established for the instruction in boxing of men coming | here from countries where ‘he knife and the revolver are resorted to on the slightest provocation. “Use your fists to settle your-disputes,” he sald; “fight with nature's weapons and you may live to fight again, {f you must Aight.” We have here, of course, the old problem of the use and the abuse of | @ thing, but of the substantial correctness of the judge's view there can ‘be no question. It wf! be some time before mankind will be able to wet along without violent personal disagreements, and so everything that @erves to minimize bloodshed 1s deserving of commendation, — To fight successfully with the fists a man must have scientific training, which calls for boxing lessons. Practice In boxing leads to rivalry, and the step from tlat to a prize fight is not a long one, It 1s preferable to murder, however, ee THE LURE OF THE TIDE.
