HIS THORNY ROAD.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan may find in time, if he has not discov- cred already, that the road to military fame is rough and thorny. There is a widespread suspicion that he accepted the command of his Nebraska regiment partly, at least, for political reasons, being apprehensive lest General Fitz- hugh Lee or some other martial demo- crat should beat him out two years hence in the race for presidential honors; but how is the coIoneIcy of an obscure western regiment going to give him his coveted chance to win a new and striking reputation? He may indeed get an opportunity like the one that came to Lieutenant Hobson; and then again he may not. All of which is of course irrelevant if he had no ul- terior motive in view in enlisting, but was actuated by a sincere desire to do what he could for his country. Even SO. there is reason to believe he might have been of more real use as a high private in the rear ranks. He knows less about war than he does about eco- monies.

MIR LETTERS FLYER IN WHEAT

Joseph Letters experience seems
 something like that of the king of France, who, having marched his coll-
 orts up the hill, marched them
 straightway down again It recalls that of the Nantucket whaling captain
 who came back after a three years cruise with nary bar'l of oil, but had durn fine sail" MT. Letter has ex- ce1led the king of France in that he has not climbed his hill for nothing, but has taken the advantage of the laws of gravitation and slid down con- siderably beyond the point where he started to climb up, and he has the advantage of the Nantucket Yankee in having compressed his experience in 0 one year instead of three. It will be said now that, after all, the earlier Jo- seph was a more sagacious grain op- ertor thu his namesake, but that is not altogether fair, for Jacobs son had certain foreknowledge of a seven-year famine, whereas our son of Levi had to get in and out again within four teen months. What matter to him if he has not succeeded in doing it prof
 1tably. Inasmuch as he had no visible motive for playing with grain except to enlarge his mind and add to his Knowledge of human concerns, rather than condole with him over his losses

An exchange gives a list of eight classes of people who are a detriment to town, as follows: First, those who go out of town to do their trading. Second, those who oppose improve ments. Third, those who prefer a quiet town to one of push and busi- ness. Fourth, those who think busi- ness can be done slyly and without ad- vertising. Fifth, those who deride public-spirited men. Sixth, those who oppose every movement that does not originate with themselves. Seventh, those who oppose any public enterprise that does not appear to benefit them. Eighth, those who seek to iniure the credit of any individual The eighth is the most contemptible class.

AS TO ANNEXATION.

The question of annexing conquered territory is certainly not one to be set tied off-hand. Neither nations nor men can grasp new opportunities without assuming new responsibilities. But if conquest does not involve annexation it does not forbid it. The opponents of imperialism, so called, are never weary of saying that the United States did not begin a war with Spain for the purpose of adding to its territories
 This is perfectly true, but how many of the great movements of the worlds history have been deliberately foreseen and prepared for. The point for us to consider now is not what we intended to do, but what the force of events has made 1t obligatory for us to do. It is a pity that the opponents of annexa- tion under any circumstances are so unwilling to concede that it's advocates may be quite as sincere and high minded as themselves, and so ready to insinuate that some low motive lies behind the proposition to enter upon a more active part in international politics.
 The New York Evening Post is right enough in saying that the resolution to take Hawaii and keep the Philip pines involves us in "a momentous policy" We have so accustomed our selves to Chinese desire for isolation that the opening of a new sphere of activity daZes us a little. We ask at once if we shall enter upon such sphere, if it is in accord with our tra- ditions or our character, if we shall not lose more than we gain by it Such searchings of heart are doubtless nat ura1. And it is we'll that we should count the cost of new step before we take it. But the opponents of imper- ialism (the word they use may be adopted for convenience) either have no substantial arguments against "a momentous policy or else believe that mere abuse will serve as an argument. Their assertions imply a profound dis trust in the ability of the American people to arise to the opportunities and discharge the responsibilities which two short months of war have sufficed to bring before them.
 Such assertions do not touch the main question at all. That is one of our duty to ourselves and the rest Of the world What is to be the conner cial and political future of the Pacific? If we let go what we win will the time ] never come when we shall have req son to regret it? Can we restore the !! islands to Spain? If we do not keep 1 them ourselves to whom can we give i them? What effect would colonies in | the east have upon our tariff legisla- tion? How should we govern them? l Are they fit for self government? Here are serious questions to be discussed | seriously. If the opponents of annex ation will condescend to consider | these and others of a similar import we may all get much light on the sub ject. But at present their observations are neither illumining nor convincing. i
