Mr.. Bryan's Overzeal.

From the New York World Dem).
The history of the world shows that the
overzeal of advocates has done more in
jury to propagandas than all the errors of
heretics. There was q lesson of wisdom
both to reformers and to political leaders
in the moral Of the Indians story of a
tree that was SO straight it leaned back

Is not Mr.. Bryan in some danger in both
these directions? In his telegram accept
ing the invitation to the political Jeffer-
sonian dollar dinner in this city, he says:
"Ar speakers should be supporters of the
Chicago platform.
Mr.. Bryans object in coming to New
York Is, of course. to strengthen his can
didacy for the next presidential cam
paign. Is 1t not more fanatical than prac-
teal to try for an election by making the
party smaller rather than larger? The
supporters Of the Chicago platform" were
In a minority of $3.50 in this state in 1896.
There is no evidence that they have grown
relatively more numerous since. On the
contrary the state was carried by the DEM
ocrats in 1897, by a plurality of 60.O00, with
the Chicago platform deliberately ignored.
And under the same policy last year the
Democrats were beaten by less than $4,000
In the country at large does Mr.. Bryan
really find any warrant for building fences

will have twenty-seven members after Utah

of Montana and Utah.

JUSTICE STEPHEN J. FIELD.

A long and illustrious public career has

the dead jurist' Coming from a distin-
guished and accomplished family, the bent

his impress indelibly stamped upon that

commonwealth inestimable service AL
though severely criticised for some of his
rulings. especially those terminating sew
eral notable railway litigations. 1t is sig

test OF time. As justice of the supreme
court OF the United States, his rulings have
been conspicuously fair and his decisions
invariably sound. He earned the distinc-
fion Of being one OF the ablest jurists ever
honored by appointment to the highest
court of the nation, and he was especially
proud of the fact that he was chosen by
President Lincoln. Another qualification of
his judicial life was that he retained his

SALARIES AND SERVICE.

1t is doubtless impossible to arrive at the
precise and true merits of everybody and
pay him accordingly. But it is not a prop
or inference from this fact that there need
be no attempt to connect merits and wages,
In New York they are trying to get a bill
through the legislature requiring the in
crease of salaries In the New York city
schools on the ground Of length of service
alone. Governor Roosevelt has assured the
friends Of the bill that he will veto it un-
less examinations for promotion are added
TO the condition Of length of service. This
being an imperfect world, Mr.. Roosevelt's
head is level. In perfect world teachers
would not be allowed to become veterans in
service unless they were eminently sue
cessful. and then the special examination
would be unnecessary. But in a world
where favoritism and nepotism play large
part in the distribution of public appoint
ments and promotions length of service
alone is not sound claim to advance of
pay,

Of these-the adoption Of the silver plat
form-was traceable to Stones Initiation.
If the next national convention resurrects
free silver and puts it up as the banner on
the bandwagon, of course William j.
Bryan will be the standard-bearer. If
other issues are given equal prominence.
Stone may be struck by lightning. If
silver be subordinated to other issues. it
seems inevitable that some Eastern man
will secure the nomination.
Presidential conclusions are still distant,
but the game of politics is always interest
ing, even In its preliminary moves. Mis-
souri, is to be something of a battle-ground;
that much is certain. In this instance. Of
course. the game is played simply on its
merits as party politics. The finish of the
bi-party contest is so clear even now that
there can be no doubt of the final result.
The Democracy can not figure out any
combination that will beat the popularity
Of President Mckinley and the record of
his administration.
