A WISE HEAD.

Bryan's refusal of the offer of $4,000 a
year as legal advisor of a Chicago bust
ness house shows a very wise head.
Such a salary would have lifted him out
of the ranks of the poor, whose cause he
espouses, and they would soon regard him
with distrust. The offer was no doubt
made with the view of getting him out of
the field as a Presidential probability four
years hense. His good sense in declining
the offer shows that he is above money
influence, and that nothing can turn him
from the service of the cause which he is
so gallantly advocating.
His reason for declining, that he is too
busy in the service of bimetallism for The
next four years to devote time to other
matters OF less Importance, is significant.
