papers that there are to be several
innings. that but one has been played,
and that there will be sequels and yet
sequels. with Bryan for the hero and
central figure of each.
There is nothing surprising about
his book. from all We can learn. Mr..
Bryan has had plenty of time to write
t, none of his lectures interfering with
he undertaking. and he probably will
have plenty of time in which to try
and sell it. He has already learned
hat the people rather take their hard
lines doctrines dispensed gratis from
he tail end of a train. than to pay to
hear them in the lecture hall. The
book may meet with similar conditions
Possibly everybody out of job will
write for a general agency. For their
Information we would add that Mrs.
Bryan has written in the preface all
about what q good man her husband is
and he has anticipated a desire to get
together at some future time by dedi-
eating the work to Richard p. Bland,
Gen. Weaver and Senator Teller In
return for that distinction they will be
expected TO read it through and furnish
a few press comments. We UNDER
stand there is no reference to Watson,
though he may, undoubtedly, he relied
upon for comments. The book is full
of the silver doctrine, however, but
whether the silver trust paid space
rates or got 10 per cent. off for cash is
matter too delicate to touch upon.
OF course the author arraigns the
gold Democrats, whacks trusts and ex-
presses the opinion that the people
don't want civil service reform. The
pathos is reserved for the fms, where
he tells the public how on election
night confidence gave place to doubt
and doubt to resignation, land i'm the
contemplation of the picture of a citi-
zen by his fireside, free from official
responsibility. l fell asleep" Up to
date the country has not attempted to
wake him. Bat if the needless discon-
tent. the unjust suspicious, the UNI
deserved bitterness and the hatred on
account of fancied wrongs. all of which
he sowed broadcast and assiduously
cultivated. haunted his dreams, he
deserves no pity.

Bryan's Book.

Along with the cold wave and tales
of distress in Chicago comes a report to
the effect that the last pages of Bry-
ans book have gone to press in that
city. The title of the volume is to be
THE First Battle" We are of the
opinion that a more appropriate one
would be Rapid Rise and Fearful
Fall, or How the Wind Blew Itself
Out" But there is undoubtedly a mo-
tive in the chosen title that would be
absent from the one suggested. Now
the casual reader who only looks at the
cover of the volume, and we appre-
bend there will be many such, might
infer If he had never read the news

That Extrayagant Entertainment.

DR.. RainsfOrd is the pastor of n
New York church patronized by some
of the very wealthy. including many
of the society people, who have invi-
tations to attend the half-million dol
lar entertainment to be given by the
Bradley Martins of that city. SO when
DR.. Rainsford expressed in the pulpit
his opinion that such a lavish display
of wealth and extravaganza is morally
wrong and should be avoided he stirred
up hornets nest and not few of the
hornets have persisted in buzzing
about the good mans ears. Editors
brushed up on political economy, So
GEOLOGY and the like and have written
learned editorials to show that it is
better for the public that the Brad
ley-Martins should put their wealth
into circulation that way than to hoard
it. All sentiment aside, it is better. Were
the wealth always to be boarded and
never be put to the use of stimulating
more worthy enterprises than drink
ing, dressing and feasting to an ex-
tent beyond human capacity for gen.
uine enjoyment. OF course. also, the
Bradley Martins have a legal right to
do with their money as they have a
mind to except they do not spend it in
a way to affect those moral views
about which legal barriers have been
built. They have no right to spend it
gambling, although that would be put
ting it into circulation with less of
waste of raw material which is needed
for other purposes. A glutton has a
legal right to gorge himself to insen-
sibility with humming birds on toast
in some public place where the starv-
ing can see him do it but it seems to
us that a pastor also has a right to
preach against such a practise. No one
suppCses that the Bradley Martins are
wicked folks seeking to cause heart
burnings and intensity the sufferings
of the destitute. They want to give
the SWEETEST kind of an entertainment
ever Known in New York. That is their
ambition. not a very laudable one from
a biblical point of view, but a great
manyamong the producers will be very
glad to have them do it and will profit
well thereby. Nevertheless it will I'M
doubtedly serve to emphasize and in
tensify a feeling of discomfort among
the very poor and encourage the belief
that the very rich are utterly heartless
and selfish. a belief not founded on fact
and withal exceedingly mischievous
The entertainment will be held, no
doubt of that, so it will be well to hope
that having had their fun these Brad
ley Martins will devote some of their
surplus to a more worthy purpose
Instead of thinking bitterly of their
vanity fair let us remember that Bank
err Morgan, against whose plutocracy
many hard things have been said, gave
only a few days ago n million dollars
for worthy institution that will sure
~ prove a great blessing to the needy
of that great city.
