MI. Rrrnn,s sneechen.

The Washington Post and some OF the
other Independent newspapers are ex-
pressing the opinion that Mr.. Bryan is not
helping the cause of democracy by the
kind of speeches he has been making
since his nomination The fault they find
With the speeches is that they have very
little merit, and do not bear out the i'm
preston the country got Of him from his
speech at the Chicago convention.
We hardly think the criticism is a fair
one. Mr. Bryan has been doing little
more than making a few remarks to old
friends and neighbors and throwing out
thought here and there to enthusiastic
admirers at railway stations. He has
made no effort to say anything that would
have a decided effect in the campaign. He
will make efforts Of that kind probably
when he has fully entered upon the work
of the campaign. In the meantime the
very unpretentious way in which he has
been travelling about and the off hand
and hearty manner in which he has
greeted the crowds that have collected to
see him have strengthened him with the
class of people upon whom he depends
chiefly for support
1t is true that his little speeches do
not read very well, nor are they calcula-
ted to create the impression that he is a
man of great intellectual resources, but it
is quite evident that he is not trying to
make an impression of that kind. He is
simply aiming to make himself popular
with the people, and in that respect he ap-
pears to be meeting with success. In a
day or two he will make a speech at
Omaha and later ON, early in August, he
will be officially notified of his nomina-
ton at Madison Square Garden, New
York. on both of these occasions much
will be expected of him, and If he meets
expectations his speeches at railway sta
tons win be- forgotten. BY his speeches
on special occasions he viii be judged as
an orator, and not by his off-hand and
unprecedented utterances.

The se,vnre ouestinn-

The statements made in the June SAM
tartan relative to the pollution of the wa
tiers of the Pa.ssiac river by the sewage
deposited in it, which statements were
quoted in communication yesterday to
the Morning News by DR.. lie Hardy. to
show the danger of depositing the sewage
of Savannah in the river in
front of the city, ara undoubtedly true.
but do they sustain the conclusion which
DR.. lie Hardy draws from them?
There is a vast difference between. the
Passiac river and the Savannah river.
The Passaic is a comparatively small
river and drains small territory. Be-
sides. the territory which it drains is very
thickly settled. The sewage that flows
into it, therefore. is very great. The sa-
vannah river is a grkat, swift flowing
stream. carrying a vast volume of water
to the sea. 1t drains a great territory.
and the amount Of sewage which goes into
it is very small.
Would the sewage of Savannah. If turn
ed into the river in front of the city, en-
danger the city's health9 We do not think
so. 1t would be carried to the sea and

presence in the water in front of the CITY

water. Certainly not a sufficient amount

He was a Gentleman.

Back Of Duvalrs blum, in Arkansas, is
country where schools are scarce, and
civilization of the most primitive type,
says the Washington Star.
A prominent attorney of this city had
occasion to go down there a short time
ago to look over some land titles. and
stopped over night al log cabin, which
contained one room and a loft. The only
occupant was White-haired old man,
too feeble to walk without the aid of a
heavy cane.

lawyer.

democrats who cannot conseenriously
support the Chicago ticket and platform
These democrats. he says. cannot sup
port Mckinley They cannot march "a
the ballot box under a flag Of which
oue-hdlf IS Tor sound money and the other
half for protection"
Tt was expected. OF course. that Mr..
Watterson would favor another ticket
His objection IS not 50 much 10 Bryan
and sewall as TO the platform upon which
they stand. He looks upon the platform
as an "open door 10 revolution"
1ir. Watterson goes 10 extremes I'm what
ever position he takes. While there are
"a good many democrats who take the
same gloomy view he does OF what was
done at Chicago. that view is by no means
entertained by very large part OF the
sound money democrats. They do not
think. as he does. that if the democratic
party should triumph in the pending cam
paign and come into power the "conserva-
tive leaders would be quickly set aside
by the wild element behind" The wild
element" IL is true, showed itself in the
Chicago convention and was Kissed down.
II was in avery small minority. Indeed,
Il is doubtful IL the platform had the
hearty approval of the convention except
that part Of it which refers 70 silver, but
all Of II was accepted with the hope that
1t would help the cause Of silver.
There are many difficulties in the way
OF calling another Observation-Disclosures
which Mr.. Watterson in his pres
ent location cannot fully appreciate.
There are reasons. for thinking that Mr..
Whitney. Senator Hill and other sound
money democrats are now considering
these difficulties. and are trying to de-
eide whether OF not they can be over
come. in other words. they are trying
to satisfy themselves whether or not 1t
would be better. from their standpoint. for
the future Of the democratic party and
for the country to have another demo-
cratic ticket. There is no intimation yet
as to the conclusion they will reach. but
the prediction that there will be no other
democratic ticket would not be a rash
one. It may be that the action Of the
two national conventions that will assem-
bic at St Louis this week will have some
influence IN determining the policy of the
sound money democrats.
OF the sincerity Of Mr.. watterson's ad-
vice there is no doubt. but Of it's wisdom
there IS a wide difference of opinion among
those for whom his advice is intended.
