cumstances that enabled Spain to prevent
Intervention last year will operate now to
keep the President and Congress from pre-
cipitating crisis. The ulta-Spanish resi-
deEts Of the capital refuse to believe that
the time for Intervention will ever come,
yet they denounce the United States bit
terly, and declare their readiness to go to
war, If need be, to protect the rights of
Spain. This attitude indicates their fear
that the day of international judgment is
relatively near. The insurgents themselves
and their ardent sympathizers seem to have
agreed upon February as the time when
action will be taken by this government in
default of genuine performances by Spain
In the line of reform. The American resi-
dents hold diverse views. From all these
estimates it is to be seen that Cuba and
even Spain looks for some action in the
way of Intervention to stop the war. 1t is
significant that there is little mention of
late Of such action taking the form of
recognition of the beliigerency OF the insur-
gents. The Cubans look forward conf
IDENTIFY to an actual recognition of their in
dependence. In the light Of this letter it
is apparent that while the reasonable
time" of trial may be an indefinite term,
and while the day Of Intervention may still
be a movable feast in the international
calendar, yet there are signs that this day
cannot forever be postponed and that even
the Spaniards look forward to the time
when, the patience of the United States
having been utterly exhausted, this govern
ment will take decisive action looking to
the settlement of the strife.

Mexican En- thusiasm for Mr.. Bryan

The enthusiasm with which the Mexican
people are greeting Mr.. Bryan is well de-
served. Mexico is not only silver produc-
ing country, but in actual practice con-
ducts its business on the basis of silver
money, and Mr.. Bryan just now is the
most eminent champion of silver as
money metal in the world. He is well en-
titled therefore to the consideration that is
being shown him by those whose interests
he so conspicuously represents. This en-
thusiasm. there is every reason to believe
will continue during MIR. Bryan's stay in
the country. Wherever he may go the peo-
pie will desire to give expression to their
appreciation of his services to the silver
cause.
But so far as Mr. Bryan is concerned, will
MS Journey yield much more than personal
qualification at a series of hearty personal
greetings? Receptions and hurried visits
here and there will fill up his time. Every
thing will be on dress parade arrange
ments. and everybody in dress-parade hu-
NOR, in his honor. He will see the country
and the people In holiday attire, so to
speak, and if he returns home with a COM
paratively rosy picture impressed upon his
mind it will be no wonder. When he left
the northwest after his stamping tour last
year he was persuaded that the entire sec
ton was afiame for him. The votes on
election day went by large majorities to
Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Bryan had formed a
stumpers hurried and misleading estimate
of local sentiment. He is quite as likely
now to form stumper's hurried and mis-
leading estimate of conditions in Mexico
A stumper sees everything through a dis
turbed medium.
The fact is that Mr.. Bryan is not likely
10 grow as a man of thought until after
public interest in his personal presence has
somewhat spent itself. He has had no time
for rest OF reflection since his nomination
for the Presidency eighteen months ago
His campaign for that office was in every
way so unusual that the liveliest interest in
the man was everywhere excited His fol-
lowers became more attached to him in de-
Feat than they had shown themselves to he
when counting upon success, and he has
been trotting about in response to their
invitations pretty much ever since How
much longer this will continue is a oues-
uon- MIR. Bryan himself seems to enioy
the experience But while ii continues the
conditions will not be favorable for either
investigation of problems or assimilation of
conclusions. and the country may expect
only entertaining variations on the theme
with which Mr.. Bryan first attracted ma
uonal attention.

the danger that the element in the popula-
ton that demands a measure of respect for
the day might enter a successful protest, it
is safe to assume that in time the walking
matches, running matches. eating, fasting,
bicycling contests, or what not. would ere
now have been extended into fortnight af-
fairs. and indeed there Is no probable limit
to be placed upon the cupidity of the mana
gers and the folly of the victims and the
patrons. In the case of the latter-day BIZ
cycling contests, the racers are sustained
during the long stretches OF their extraordi-
nary efforts by drugs. Cocaine, with its
wonderfully stimulating effect upon the
nerves and It's ultimately poisonous effect
upon the muscles, is administered in large
Quantities and serves to keep the men at
work at a tremendous cost. If the matter
only affected the participants the public
would have little concern, for the men go
into these competitions well aware of their
tremendous requirements. But the moral
effect upon the people is not safely to be
estimated. The argument of public demon
aiization logically urged against prize-fight
ing, buil-fghting. chicken-fighting, rat-kill
ing bear-baiting and other So-called "en-
tertainmerts'' for the delectation of the
public applies equally to a spectacle in
which human beings are tortured or are
permitted to torture themselves for pal
try money prize. The entertainment af-
forded by such a contest as that which has
just closed is meager save to those who
crave the sight of human suffering or en-
durance. The element of racing is absent
for the casual spectator. The interest Is
maintained only by virtue of the fact that
some one of the contestants may at any
time succumb to his sufferings. or may be
disabled by an accident The whole affair
is huge money-maker for the benefit Of
very few men. and the public pays the
price simply because it is thought to be
smart and up-to-date to patronfze these
disgracetul spectacles New York, how
ever. deserves little sympathy in her pres
ent spasm of virtue, for she neglected the
opportunity last year to put an end to the
six-day races. Nevertheless, it is to be
hoped that the present effort to suppress
such races VIII succeed.
