The BRYAN Interview.

Mr. Bryan has again demonstrated his
ability 10 recognize and 10 seize upon a
living national issue, although in his in
tervlew in The World to-day he main
tains that the buried issues OF 1896 still
have life in them.
Some years ago the issue was the tariff.
and there was no more ardent or clo-
ouent -reformcr than Mr.. Bryan.
Two years ago II was free silver and
Mr.. Bryan polled 6,502 92j votes as tho
champion Of - 10 l. This year ana pro-
baby for two years 20 come the chief
issue promises 10 be Imperialism rs. De

his sword. declares that 1.-THE imperialis-
tic idea is directly aHtagonistic TO the
idea and ideals which have been cher
ished by the American people since the
signing Of the Declaration of lndepen-
dence."
However this policy may strike the
country in general and the Democratic
party in particular. It will not be denied
that Mr.. Bryan has lost none of his dar-
Ing and doxterity as r political Oppor-
tunist with brilliant gifts Of leadership
New York World.
The first thing we find 20 commend
about tho interview IS the asence OF any
allusfon to free silver coinage The idea
OF saying nothing about silver is the
sOundest. wisest. and greatest that ever
shaped itself in the mind OF Col. Bryan.
II he has really become convinced that
the 1G-to-l issue is dead. as his silence
on the subject indicates he may have be-
fore him even now a useful and credita-
bic public career.-N. Y. Times.
II is notable that Colonel Rryan's
printed interview does not contain
word about silver coinage. or about any
other subject except that Of territorial
expansion. On this topic II Is quite
plain that the Colonel does not propose
to permit himself TO remain fn the back
ground. and that he Is prepared 10 lead
the opposition 10 what he calls the I'm
porialistic idea" On this point HIS con-
victions are clear and well outlined. and
he furnishes another evidence Of resource
fulncss by offering a fixed and plainly
defined policy for the Democrats I'm Con-
gress TO pursue.-BaltimOre Herald.

fit OF the school baseball team. Prin. M.
s. Villas presided and j. d. Denison, DIR.

A fair sized audience was present. Henry
Lewis, Arthur Sault and Arthur Newton
supported the affirmative, with Leighton
Abbott, Willard Holman and Harry Phil
lips on the negative. The debaters on
each side acquitted themselves well. The
jury, after elaboration, decided in flavor
of the negative.
Rev. V.M. Hardy, DID,, gave half hour
talk Friday afternoon to the High School
on "Money and Manners" which was
listened to with much attention and was
very instructive. Both money and man
ners are matters of great Importance and
both capable of right and wrong uses.
But each must be worked for; manners
do not come by chance any more than
money. II we cannot have the one, we
may possess the other. What can each
do for person? "a Money can intro
duce yoD to certain classes of society;
manners introduce you to another and
better class. (2). Money may give you
pleasures OF travel, education, music and
the like; manners are education and
pleasure. l3) Money makes you possessor
OF many things; manners make you pos
SCISSOR of the hidden values which these
possess. II we may not be rich, we can
all of us be good mannered. True man.
ners do not consist In grace OF gesture or
idea that the dancing master and the
tailor make up good manners is a mis-
take. True politepess is OF the heart; 1t
has respect for the feelings and presence
OF other people and finds pleasure In do
ing good to others.
