Wild West Eloquence.

Mr.. Bryan is a paragon in I'M
seemly utterances. The other day he
INDUCED in the extraordinary lmpro-
priety of telling his hearers that hate
rhymed with syndicate. Indiscretion
can no farther 60 in a candidate for
the high office of president; an office
which implies no party, no sec
tionalism, no hatred but power given
by the grtat American people to be ex-
ercised in the interests ofall. And why
shouda syndicate OF bankers, who
united to preserve thecredt of the ma
ton against the assaults OF a syndi-
cate of silver miners and congressman
OF the type of Mr.. Bryan and his fell
lows, the Pfeffers, Tillmans, Watsons
and Simpsons, be deemed so MERGE
nary and unpatrlotic ? The New York
London syndicate assumed risk in
the purchase of some bonds, which
undoubtedly would have been rated
below par if the wildeyed reformers
OF the West could have had their way.

England.

And why all this passionate invec-
tive about England and Lombard
street? AS if nation of 10000, 900
people need always to be in fear OF
nation of 35,000,000. London for
various reasons is a convenient center
Tor the worlds trade, and for the
trade settlements of the world;
state of things you can no more
change than you can prevent trade
going to New York or Chicago.
Commerce tends to lines of least
resistance. People will buy and sell
where they like, or where it is for
their interest to buy and sell; and
the sooner certain men and organs
realize this, the sooner their own
tide of prosperity will set in. 1t is
quite certain we can't all take the
most advantageous positions in
London, or Chicago or New York.
Somebody was there before us, and
bought or earned his place. Unequal
tiles there will be, geographical
financial and mental, but there's
ALWAYS room on top"

vania me;ol line to Pittsburgh is said
to averstweernly about one-half cent

declare that it is impossible in the
nature of things to raise rates; that
the only solution to railway financial
problems lies in the direction OF
economies. A prime factor in such
economies must be declining value
in steel and iron; and this means a
hea vier rail- heavier train loads, and
better service, but yet in spite OF
railway statistics, there will always
be left some people to denounce the
soulless railway corporations.

Now, if you want to know the
straight truth of our friend Billy
Bryan, it is that he is a very good
looking and surprisingly genial gen
tleman. He has "a sweet Irish
tongue" and he seldom or never
says unpleasant things, and is pecu-
liarly fortunate in his ability to rub
the fur the right way He is politi-

but socially, morally, and intellect

an upright, clean man"
