WAS 1T THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER1


Strange and portentous news comes over the
wires from Texas. From the platform of
Democratic State Convention the Hon. Joe
Bailey, critic Of bond issues. free-sllver coinage
crusader and defender in general Of the Consti-
tuition as construed on the Texas prairies, has
had the temerity to speak in hippant and unbe-
coming jest Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS candi-
date for the Presidency. The Hon. joe had
been called on TO entertain the convention while
ii was waiting for its Committees on Credentials
and Resolutions TO prepare reports. His speech
was long, and covered in detail the issues of the
Presidential canvass; but from the beginning to
the end all reference TO the Boy Orators can
didacy was studously avoided Finally dele
gate either out of Indignation or in n spirit of
mischief, shouted to the speaker. How about
Bryan Mr. Bryan is a very bright young
man. replied the Hon joe" Jelly and sar
,astically; and with this astonishing rcjoinder
he abruptly left the platform. The effect on his
fellow delegates of the Hon "Joe's" osentatious
refusal to waste any oratorlcal incense on the
idol Of the Chicago Convention Is not described;
but they must have construed his contcmpuous
fling AT Mr. Bryan-and those who read It in
cold blood will undoubtedly thus consrue It
as a brutal and unnecessary stab AT the Repudia-
ton candidate. now slowly and painfully

East.
What mystery lies beneath the Texas Repre-
sentatve's sudden outbreak Of animOsty and
pique? What are thu real causes Of his appar-
ent estrangement in interest and sympathy from
the Nebraska candidate: The two men have
many traits and qualities in common. Both

now, and it will be difficult to get them stirred
up the question Of SURPRISING the bicycle.

An intellectual. attentive and enthusiastic
audience greeted Lord Russell when he rose TO
address the American Bar Association in Sara
toga yesterday. The address which he delivered
was worthy of the occasion and OF the unstnted
approval bestowed OH it. Lord Russell avowed
himself a warm advocate Of international arbi-
tration, but at the same time he did not hesl-
tate to affirm that there might be worse Things
than war. He paid us the compliment OF say
inc that the United States had been foremost
among the nations in the settlement OF din
cultes by peaceful arbtrament and the intro
ducton Of arbitration clauses into treaties AS
for Great Britain and America. he declared that
war between them would be stupendous
calamity The address Of the Lord Chlef-Jus-
tice will be widely read. and will serve as an
other link to bind together the Engllsh-speaking
races who have so many interests to unite them
and so few reasons for unbrotherly feeling.

The latest trolley accident in Brooklyn demon
strates once more the uselessness OF the fender

being a means Of safety to one who happens to be
struck by it, 1t appears to be constructed and
50 attached to the to Increase the injuries
of the victim OF a trolley accident. Attempts have
been made by the companies to obtain fender
that will fulfil its purpose but thus far they have
not been eYectual. The problem is not free
from difficulties, II Is true. but they are such as
ought to be overcome by ingenuity and persist
ence Even II It requires the reconstruction Of a
large number OF cars so that the fender can be
hung sufficiently low to protect person who may
chance to be hit by It, without being brought into
contact with the ground by the pitching Of the
car the companies should be compelled TO incur
the expense that may be involved.

Why naturally, II would not be con-
duciye OF good feeling. The order for
bidding expectation OF unmanufactured
tobacco from Cuba was made solely with
an eye 70 the Interests Of the workmen

The great part OF the manufacture OF
cigars Is carried on In Key West and
Tampa. and at this time II Is particularly
desirable that the cigarmakers In Cuba
should have every chance extended TO
them 70 earn a living.
There Is one thing. however, and that
Is. that my friends In the United States
will not run short Of good tobacco for a
long time to come, even II the cigars
made In Cuba are barred out OF this
country.
