LABORING FOR THE CAUSE,

Washington, May 3.-The polti-
clans, particularly the silver leaders,
continue to discuss Mr. Bryan and
his future, win he remain promi-
nently in evidence on the stump
and lecture platform during the
next three years, and If so, what
will the effect be on his fortunes in
| 1902
The general opinion in silver cir
cles IS that Mr. Bryan expects to
be and should be the candidate Of
his party again for the Presidency
He is practically deyotng his whole
time to the silver cause, He is In
easy circumstances financially His
book Is selling well, and his adj
dresses, when bis subject Is silver
are renumeratiye, He is generous
with his earnings, giving to the
campaign fund of his party a liber-
al share, He travels a good deal
and is In receipt of many invitations
to speak He Is regarded, indeed,
as the Wendell Phillips of the silver
crusade and, like Phillips, prefers
always to talk on the subject near
est his heart The abolition agita-
tor when invited to speak or lee
ture would name rather stir terms
for anything In literary line, but
would respond for nothing If per-
mitted to discuss slavery, So with
Mr. Bryan, He Is always ready TO
talk silver, and without price If the
cause can be adyasced But his In
come from both his tongue and pen
Is said TO be large and this enables
him to give over the law and every.
thing else upon which at one time
he depended for living
Next fall Mr. Bryan probably will
appear In some of the State cans
paIgns, The programme has not
yet been arranged There may be
some difficulty about arranging It,
for 40 strong drawing card ae Mr.
Bryan la, there are certain localities
where his presence might work ln'
Jury TO his party, He will likely "a
to Kentucky aud help Mr. Black
burn, but his presence In Maryland,
New York or Ohio would stir up
last years Ares and that would
mean Democratic disaster 1t Is
agreed that Mr., German will aol
try to carry Maryland with a shout
for free silver nor could any head
way be made either In New York ol
Ohio by employing such tactics
Mr. German IN Maryland, Mr. Muir
ply In New York aud Mr. Mclean
In Ohio each wants TO make th,
home campaign on the force Of hl'
own personality But the lntrodue
ton Of Mr. Bryan into the fight II
these states would upset these cal
culaliona, for wherever Bryan II
there will free silver be- also,
Some very interesting gossip re
ates TO a foreign tour which lIfy
an Is said TO have mapped out fo
himself II Is said that he will yisi
Mexico next Winter aud later 20 Il
Europe aud spend some time, Thl
win enable him to study the eondl'
tions of the people In a silver stand

aid to equip himself for a more
thorough discussion Of public guess

said, feels that the work he has Gu
out for himself calls for as thorough
investigation Of an subjects, lnan'
