His One Role.

William j. Bryan is quoted as resrettinp
his engagements to lecture. The report
follows so hard on his appearance in At
ianta, fair inference is that his exner;
ence there must have served to point ont
his mistake. He was well received in At
lanta; had an overlooking house and an
audience full of sympathy: but accounts
agree that the enthusiasm manifested was
more closely related to the late presi-
Dental campaign than to the subject of the
evenings = discourse 1t was a repetition ON
a small scale of the Madison Square C,ar-
den episode. An audience had gathered
fun of the fame OF a fiery and soul-sfirrtne
orator. and found itself unprepared for an
unimpassioned address along everyday
lines or thought. Disappointment could
not altogether be CT concealed. and the speak
er. with an orators intuitions, experienced
n sense OF failure.
1t Is not unlikely that the yery sneec n
which made Mr.. Bryan may. In the end
undo him An orator 1, very much like an
actor, In experience with the public as we'll
As In temperament for his work. MANY an
actor has felt himself injured for a fnlI
professional success by the achievement
of one unusual hit. The public fixes upon
him at once for that particular part. and
1eceiJes him with but limited favor In any
other. The late Frank Mayo always re-
GREETED his phenomenal success In the part
Of 'pavy Crockett" He complained that

Hats on,

1t Is reported that New York young man
has solved the high theater hat problem.
Recently finding himself at performance
seated directely behind two enormous mil
hnery creations that completely hid his
view of the stage. he preferred the usual
petite request of their wearers with the
in some places-,lsual result of a contemp-
tuous refusal to remove the offending OBJ
structions- Thereupon the sufferer folded
Dis great coat into wad, seated himself
Upon II in his chair. thus raising his shoul-
GERS to an unusual height and calmly
donned his high silk hat. Instantly a shout
arose from those behind him of Hats off,
He at once complied with the vociferous
demand quickly enough to prevent the
wearers of the two big hats in front of him
from learning the cause of the disturbance
and the house broke into rapturous ap-
plauSe when they succumbed to the clamor
and removed their headgear. This Is heroic
treatment. but it sometimes seems neces-
s%ry- Legislation. it appears, does not
entirely legislate high hats out of existence
nor do the constant admonitions of the
press wholly stimulate the sense of consid-
eration of others that should animate every
person in public place But little by little
1t would appear that what with laws and
the advice and ridicule of the newspapers
and such instances of vigorous local treat
ment as that just related, the big theater
hat is falling into disrepute and there is
hcpe that the twentieth century will see
the full emancipation of the theater-goer
from this unbearable nuisance.

Spnin'a POpular L0an.

There need be no marvelling over the
prompt subscription to the popular loan in
Spain for carrying on the war in Cuba. A
very large portion Of the money came 1t is
true, from those imme diately surrounding
the throne. The throne is practically at
stake, and those who flourish in its shad-
cd are yitally interested in propping it.
But If every particle Of the sum had come
from the plain people themselves it would
simply have testified to the success Of the
Spanish leaders in authority in impressing
upon the masses their own Interpretation
of the war and their own contention as to
what Spanish duty in the premises is.
No man in Spain who bows to authority
is permitted to know the real situation In
Cuba. In the first place the war is ex-
planned there as only the revolt of bands
OF desperate and depraved men, who not
only chafe under Spanish rule, but under
all rule These bands. the people Of Spain
are encouraged to believe, are entitled to
no consideration whatever. They are out
laws, deserving Of determination. How en-
tirely this view is accepted in Spain is evil
denced by the way the news of General
Maceo's death was received there. The re-
joicings and public demonstrations were on
par with celebrating the death of
the fallen foe was a soldier of great ma
trral ability, who had gone to his death
fighting for what he conscientiously believed
was the good Of Cuba and his comrades in
arms. such a person might have met with
fate similar to Maceo's.
AS for the news respecting the progress
of the Spanish arms in Cuba the Spanish
people are dependent ON Gen. Weyler. 1t
is not difficult therefore to understand their
ignorance Of the actual situation. We have
had ample experience Of his blue pencil
in this country to be able to appreciate
how he uses 1t when it comes to editing
stuff for Madrid. He is at once his own
euiogist and defender, and Spain sees the
whole struggle through the medium of his
Celebrations or suppressions. He makes of
himself hero battling in Spain's name
and for Spain's glory against outlaws and
the despoilers of the people.
1t Is in this way and by these means that
the Spanish Imagination Is reached and
the Spanish responses are secured. How
much longer the game can successfully be
played is a question. Spain's foreign credit
is exhausted, and her stocking fund cannot
be large When that Is gone, where will
Gen. Weyler turn to capitalize his CUFF?

The Currency Question.

An improvement in our currency system
Sould appear to be quite as well assured as
a revision of the tariff. The latter will of
course come first but the former ought to
follow within the year. Interest In the
subject "a profoundly awakened both in
business and in political circles, and that
some substantial good must result Is an
expectation that springs easily out of the
resources involved. Given a matter of
supremest moment to all the people, and
the foremost men in the country In or out
of office engaged in It's solution, and some
thing of general benefit is reasonably GER
tain to be evolved.
The business men will express themselves
first. They will meet in Indianapolis early
next month in convention. All sections of
the country will be represented The under
standing is that no bill is to be prepared,
no cast iron policy adopted. The whole
object of the meeting is to discuss the cur
rency question in all of its bearings. and
probably appoint a con- mission to sit, and.
later, formulate some suggestion for sub
mission to Congress. This suggestion will
stand for the business view of the matter,
ard will necessarily nave weight with Con-
gress wnen the time for legislation arrives.
The political leaders are also on the alert.
Senator Nolcott. it is understood. Is rapidly
putting into shape the proposition looking
TO the holding of ANOTHER international con-
ference on the silver question. There will
probably be no opposition to this even from
the extreme silver men. The confessed
object of the movement Is to provide for a
larger use of silver as money, and however
skepiical free coinage men may be as to
its result they cannot with consistency
oppose it.
Still anvther point of interest is found in
the attention which the Banking and Cur
rency Committee of the House is now giving
to the currency question. 1t has just heard
Eoth orally and by letter from William l..
Koyaii OF Virginia, a sound money demo-
crat " hose opinion is that the south is
really not clamorins for free coinage of
silver at 16 10 l. but is simply restless and
discontented under too limited banking
facilities Enlarge those facilities in some
safe way. and the south. Mr. Royal be-
feveS. will cease to be prime factor In
the free silver agitation.
Here. then. are all the different phases of
the subject under Intelligent and responsible
inquiry. 1t is admitted that something
should be done about the currency But
what? hat do the business men say as
to change in the banking laws? What do
foreign governments say on the subject of
the free coinage of silver? What does the
south say about accepting larger banking
facilities as cure for the ills she has been
attri5uting to the law of 1878 as 1t affected
and still affects the coinage of the silver
dollar?
Evening star., 1896-12-28

the public would have him in nothing else.
He was an excellent ail-around actor, and
aspired even to Shakespearean roles. But
'Davy Crockett became. under the tyran-
ny of a delighted public, his treadmill.
Mr.. Jefferson has never been permitted
to sober up for very long on the stage. He
gives such exquisite pleasure in that role
of the tipsy vagabcrd, the public demands
him in the part Some Of the mellowest
of his gifts as comedian are unknown in
many cities. His enduring fame will be
found socketed in the role of rip Van
Wrinkle"
Salyini, the Italian tragedian. is another
instance in point. He has offered himself
in this country in several parts, and ne
has varied repertoire, but his transcen-
dent embodiment of the part of "Othello"
has fixed his status as an actor here. Other
assumptions by him are lnawakening in
comparison with the effect he produces by
that. interesting, as he is, in all of his
parts, he Is supremely satisfactory only in
that. and that the public demands of him.
So with Mr.. Bryan. He is the orator who
by one burst of forensic energy and elo-
quence swept a ne tional convention off its
feet; set men of mature years to dancing
and paradihg about like beings under
spell; caused cheering to be protracted
for over half an hour; brought all business
for that time to q stand still; and as an
unparalleled result secured a nomination
to the office Of President OF the United
States. He must stand Eow on that pima
Gle, uncomfortable as it may prove to be
as permanency. The public will be inter-
ested in him at his best, or but little at
all. Audiences to hear him lecture will
demand the sensations enjoyed by the
Chicago convention. Why should he make
fish of one and flesh of another? People
will go to hear him expecting to be thrilled
as never tefOre, and certain to be disap-
pointed when called upon to listen to what
in comparison must prove tame and unin-
forming. Mr.. Bryan without his thrills
will not be the Mr.. Bryan of the popular
imagination. And not even Mr.. Bryan can
hope to keep his thrills in working order
all the time.
