The latest suggestion is that the Atkin-
sonans make a demonstration in force ut
Chicago next month. and then turn to Mr..
Bryan with offer of support if he will
put autI-imperialism forward as the lead
ing issue next year.
This is ''childike and bland" Mr.. Bryan
has good deal of power the leader of
his party, but not power enough to do this
if he desired. So far as his candidacy for
the presidency is concerned the leading is
sue is made. He could not change it if
he would, and he has repeatedly frankly
declared that he would not if he could. He
stands for the free coinage of silver at 1T
to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation. His legitimate fol-
lowing is organized with that as the su-
preme object. The country has been abun-
dainty advised on the subject and so I'M
derstands. So long, therefore. as he re-
mains the leader of his party neither i'm
perialism trusts. bossism nor anything else
can be put ahead of silver. If Mr.. Bryan
Is elected President he will use the full in
fiuence of that great office toward carrying
out the financial policy which he clearly
and conscientiously proclaims.
Men who are ranting about Imperialism
and yet are opposed to free coinage need not
shut their eyes to a perfectly plain state
of case. If they cooperate to put Mr..
Bryan in office they must accept him at
his own and not at their valuation. I'm
perialism is a very vague thing as eX-
pounded by those who are trying to Gull
tivate horror of it, But free coinage is
a very definite thing. AS to the one, Mr..
Bryan as President would have no need
to exert himself. There would be moth
ing for him to do. AS to the other, he
would begin at once to shape his policy
and to muster his forces to put it into OPP
GRAFTON.
The whole question. therefore, so far as
the Atkinsonians of the east are concerned,
resolves itself into this: Is a shadow of
more force than thing of substance?. In
fleeing from Imperialism, are they willing
to land in the arms of free coinage?

Craftsmanship of the House Committee

Strenuous opposition will be made by cit
liens of Washington to any proposition con-
templating the retirement of Mr.. Babcock
from the craftsmanship of the House Dis
trict committee. Mr.. Babcock, it is known
has expressed disinclination to take the
craftsmanship again MIR. Babcock's rela-
lions with Mr.. Henderson are such as to
warrant the belief that he could secure
another craftsmanship if he should urge it.
These facts have induced many citizens
to bring pressure to bear upon Mr.. Bab-
cock to induce him not to seek a change,
but to continue in the place which he has
filed so creditabIy for several years. At
the same time Mr.. Henderson has been
advised of the feeling in the city and has
been given to understand that he would

Mr., Babcocks services to the District in

Washington cannot contemplate with equa-

still Nominating the Admiral.

1t is doubtless inevitable that there should
be revival of the discussion Of Admiral
Deweys presidential availability just on
the eve of his return home. He is perhaps
the most engaging figure in the national
horizon today. He has been discreet, keep
ing his own counsel, and has preserved that
modest demeanor which has made Derma-
nent the fame he won year and a half
ago. He has made mistakes. Conse-
quently, being somewhat of a mystic in his
attitude toward the current political issues.
as far as they are defined. he is fair prey
for the spectators. To be sure. he has
placed himself on record as saying in I'M
equivocal terms that he is no politician and
desires political connections, and that
the presidency is not within the scope of
his personal ambitions. But such a refusal
will not count for much with the profess
sional candidate makers. They discount
that entirely. 1t is all well enough, they
say for a man to be modest and to put
aside temptation when far from the scene
of actual trial. But once let him step foot
on shore. where he will be at home, sur
rounded by familiar people and scenes. and
realizing TO the full the fruits of popu-
larity. and the situation will be different.
How can he then resist the fattering init

OF course, Admiral Dewey is just so
human that he is pleased at being so highly
praised and so richly rewarded for his
achievements. Applause and promotion are
sweet to any man, however reserved or
austere. They are doubfy sweet to a
of the temperament of Admiral Dewey.

1t is altogether improbable, in view of this
demonstration of sound Judgment and sin

ton which year and half Of exemplary
conduct under excessive adulation has af
foried, that Admiral Dewey will change his
point of view in the slightest after his re-
turn. To believe that he would allow him

cal race by the schemers who are working
for their own interests all the time would
be to lower him in estimation to the level
of a shifty. time-serving, crafty manipula-

The Two Ways to End the War.

The "anti-imperialists' of Washington
have organized, and have signified their de-
votion to the principles of their new cult
by signing declaration to do all that we
can TO bring to an immediate and honor
able end the war now being waged for the
conquest of the Philippine Islands, There
are two ways to accomplish this highly
commendable purpose, varying with the
years of the individual. The young men
among them might enlist, for instance, and
proceed to fight for the pacification of
Luzon and the establishment of order and
good government in the archipelago. Those
who are not able to bear arms for the re-
public, or whose incinations are personally
more pacific, could do practically as much
as the fighters by playing the part Of good
citizenship and refraining from giving
further aid and comfort to a public enemy.

Joe Smiths Jest.
ON the Boston Herald.

How far a little joke frequently throws
its effulgent beams. Consideration is re-
ported among the Outlanders in the Trans
wall because of rumor that 10000 armed
Irishmen are coming from America to help
the Beers down the Britons. If We are not
mistaken, this rumor started with that gay
and festive humorst, Joseph Smith of Low
ell, who some time ago assumed a serio-
comic vein and advised all americans

to South Africa to assist Dom Paul in wal

UNIVERSITY ORGANIZATION.
The Board Holds An Election of Directors
and Officers,

At a meeting of the trustees of the
University of New Mexico, at the resi-
dence of Hon. L. Bradford Prince, an
election was held to fill vacancies by ex-
piration of term, and the following per-
sons now constitute the board: Messrs.
Bartlett, Beatty, Berger, Bishop, Chase,
Gilbert, Hobart, Knaebel, Laughlin,
Prince, Seligman, Thornton and Ward.
The annual election of officers resulted
as follows: President, l.. B. Prince; vice
president, N. B. Laughlin; secretary,
w. M. Berger; treasurer, c. l.. Bishop.
Careful consideration was given to
various matters connected with the
property of the corporation, especially
Within hall and the Ramona school.
The president was appointed to arrange
as to past rent due on the former, and
a committee vas appointed, consisting
of Messrs. Knaebel, Bartlett and Ber-
ger, to arrange as to it's use during the
coming year. The property Of the cor
poration forms an important nucleus
for a large educational establishment in
the future, and the trustees are alive
to their responsibility to the original
donors of the funds with which the
buildings were erected to preserve it in
tact, until arrangements for increased
usefulness can be perfected.
