BRYAN AND THE PRESS.
Wellman's Washington Letter.

w tllllltll W NdSHllIStOu Icltcl.
Mr.. Bryan's greeting at the national
capital Saturday was anything but an
ovation. The boy orator was obviously
disappointed with it. To begin with, the
crowd which assembled to hear him was
a small one Even the reserved seats
We're not all occupied. The distinguished
guests" Were conspicuous by their alb
sence Places had been kept for sixty
newspaper men, but not Il score were
present. The newspaper correspondents
Of Washington know Mr.. Bryan, and while
the most of them esteem him highly as q
man, the majority refuse to look upon him
as Il great statesman or party leader. The
newspaper men of Washington remember
Mr.. Bryan very Well They know him as
"a loquacious. cffervesCent. intensely con-
ceited young man who loved to exploit
himself in the newspapers of the country.
They remember his actorlikc tendencies,
his posing. his playing to the galleries. y
They have always in mind the time when
Mr.. Bryan made Il speech in the house of
representatives and with tragic air de-
clared he would willingly lay down his life
for the cause of free trade. The irrever-
ent scribe in the press gallery smiled AT
this. Some of them were indecorous
enough to laugh aloud. Mr. Bryan heard
this laugh, and. looking up to the gallery,
choked back the stage tears which were
Cmbelishing his remarks and laughed too.
Such Il man Is neither q traecdian nor Il
comedian. 1t might be unjust to say he
was Il burleSquc or buffooh. But at any
rate he is not TO be taken too seriously.

ity. Its arguments for the Chicago
money plank were dignified, plausible
and .nsistent. SO much SO as to attract
national attention. This being under
stood, the reader is better prepared to
comprehend the real significance of the
following remarkable comment from
the Tribune of Sept. %:
We are every few days greeted with the
report from some quarter that the silver
sentiment Is dying out, that but ltttle caH'-
paisn work is being done on the silver
side, but little money being spent, ana Dut
little skili shown in the munagement OF
the canvass. 1t is quite true that ittie
or no money is being spent. Money IS onIy
spent literally in politics when con'vihu-
tors expect returns in honors or cmolu-
mtnts, or when there are axes TO grind.
The silver party Is singularly free from as
pirantS for honors. Its adherentS are
wasing a contest for principle. and the
campaign IS not to them Il mere scramble
| for office. II may be true also that the
campaign Is not skillfully conducted. be-
ing peoples movement the trained poll
ticians are not found in its ranks. Per-
haps as all the work of the campaign
Is being done from motives of patriotism
and not personal interest or with the hope
Of reward II may be that there is less done
than would be If a business were MADE
Of the canvass with plenty of money to
stimulate effort " II it be-true that
the movement Is on the wane il Is sad
thing for the patriot to contemplate, for
II IS confession that the nation has de-
generated from the exalted sentiments of
kberty hcld by our rorcidthors and Is slveH
over TO the rule of money Jf
American patriotism has so declined that
the country is content with the rule nj a
millionaire syndicate let il hs so. The
Tribune Is content if the peoulo are. No
| doubt the country will be well ruled but
| 1t VIII not be the same old republic Of
Mhich we have been so wont 10 boast Our
| libert!es Will have departed
The only practical Interpretation to
be placed ON this jeremiad is that it
| signifies vciled confession of defeat.
coming so closely after the Democratic
! iiasco in New York and the announce
ment that Bryan had been suddenly no.
tilted by his managers to desist from
his hopeless rainbow chasing in the
| east and get back to the defense of the
Neering west. it virtually means that
| the silver men themselves have been
| forced to the conclusion that their
struggle is hopeless. This condition of
affairs is not without it's lesson to Re
publicans. They should not give way
to overconfidence, bur should prepare
to turn the enemys defeat into panic.

Giving Up the Silver Fight.

One of the surest indications yet af-
forded of the subsistence of the free
silver enthusiasm comes in the shape
of an editorial in the Detroit Tribune,
to the proper understanding Of which
few explanatory remarks are neces-
sary. The Tribune, long the recognized
mouthpiece of the Republican organi-
zation of Michigan, was recently pub
lished by James l.. Scripps, wealthy
journalist of Detroit who. although a
life long Republican, had also been an
enthusiastic bimetallist. Mr.. Scripps
declined to support the money plank
in the st. Louis platform. and although
still claiming to remain in harmony
with his party on all other issues. threw
the Tribune into the fight for free coin.

The Democratic party in I.uZerne is
in hopeless straits apparently. There
is no head, no organization. The whole
scramble seems to be for county com
missioners. AS the minority party
must be represented on the board, the
question as to whether ii shall be Mr..
Finn or Mr.. Quincy. is the predominant
ing one. The gentlemen live within Il
stones throw OF each other, the former
in Miners Mills, the latter in Wilkes
Barre. AS neither appeals to the con-
sideration of the average rural voter
who, by the way, has no candidate big
or little on the ticket, it would appear
to man uo tree as if the ~ tire
struggle in Luzerne had resolved itself
into merely local Kilkenny fight he

AN UNFOUNDED FEAR.
Professor Paul Leroy-Beaulieu.

Money ought to be as stable as possible.
Every system of initiation must be con-
demned. The theory of the modern credit
system shows that the world can, by us
ing improved methods of settlements and
payments, do business on the largest scale
with a small amount of metallic money.
and practical people realize this fact. The
fear of money becoming scarce Is one Of
the vanest fears that exist

THE EFFECT ON FATHER

Young Sewall made a speech or two
Hefore the Main election.
He talked against the silver craze.
And told OF his detection.
His speeches they were heard and read,
They caused the hosts to gather;
They piled up $4,000 votes,
And the blow 1t near killed father"
