Bryan and Harrison.

Probably the most interesting feature of
all the Jefferson celebrations last night
was the appearance at the same table in
brother-like comradeship of William j.
Bryan and Carter Harrison. 1t will not stir
the country as a surprise. The two men
have always been friends. But some recent
occurrences have suggested rivalries be-
tween them, and no little speculation has
been current as the result. But it all falls
to the ground in the light of last night s
developments, Mr.. Harrison is still a
Bryan man, and makes the fact so indis-
putable and apparent that Mr. Bryan may
become a Harrison man. If that shall fol-
low, the next democratic national ticket
will be almost as good as named.
Nor can it be denied that such a ticket
would possess elements of strength and
attraction. Both are young men-hand-
some, eager, audacious and aggressive
Both are excellent mixers. Each has had
remarkable success for his years. Each
has an abounding self-confidence. No man
was ever more absolutely certain of the
efficiency of his policies than Mr.. Bryan is
of his, and Mr.. Harrison, after one term
as mayor of Chicago, would sign a contract
tomorrow to settle, off-hand, every disputed
municipal question anywhere existing.
IAey "ouIu work Well together In har-
ness. Mr.. Bryan is much the superior in
tellectually, but he would probably be tact
full enough not to make the fact a source
of irritation to Mr. Harrison. He would
nurse" his yoke-mate along SO as to pre-
vent baking or spasmodic and irregular
exertion. A team like that well groomed
and we'll handled, holding high head with
out the aid of a check-rein, would attract
no little attention in a presidential race.
Mr.. Bryan's Milwaukee speech contains
no comfort for the gold democrats. The
note of liberalfty is sounded as to other
matters, but TO silver there is no change.
Except the boilers repent them OF their sin
and make promise for the future they can
not be received back into the party fold.
That point is made so clear that all may
understand IL.

The Real Alternative.
From the London Chronicle.

Even If the Americans withdrew, It would
be impossible for the great European pow
ers and Japan to allow the establishment
their communications via SINGAPORE witt,
Europe. Moreover, the Jealousy of these
powers would prevent any one of them
from securing an exclusive naval base on
islands which furnish steam-coal. The al
tentative, then, is not between an independ-
ent republic. SO called. and an American
protectorate. but between an American and
a European protectorate. 1t is difficult to
see why Aguinaido should prefer the latter.
But probably he does not look far enough
ahead to see that 1t Is inevitable unless he
comes to terms with the United States,

The Diplomatic Boycott.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The action of the diplomatic corps at
Washington in establishing a social boy
colt against the Mexican ambassador is a
rather queer proceeding. What makes it
worse is that the reason assigned for it is
that Mr.. Azpiroz had something to do with
the shooting of Maximilian, at least to the
extent of being judge advocate of the court
which condemned him.
There never was a more righteous act
than the shooting of Maxmilian He lived
over in Austria, and had not the faintest
concern with the affairs of Mexico. He
was not a subject of any of the three
powers that went to Mexico to collect their
debts, and of these only France remained
None of them would have gone there but
for the fact that little family quarrel
in the United States made 1t inconvenient
for the United States to go to extremities
in the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
After this was over a hint from the United
States led to the withdrawal of the French
forces. Macmillan, who had assumed the
title of emperor without the assent of the
Mexican people, was soon captured when
foreign support was WithdraWn. He had
no excuse for making war upon Mexico,
and he paid the penalty. He went there
upon the invitation Of France, and when
that power withdrew it's army 1t advised
him to return to Europe. Before this how
ever. he had issued a decree that any one
found in arms against the empire should be
treated as bandit and executed without
trial. Such sanguinary decree from a
| usurper against the vast majority of the
people whom he had come to rule could
of course, only be maintained with force,
and when force failed he had no right
: to expect better treatment than he had
proposed to give the Mexicans. In fact,
however, he did receive better treatment,
for he had at least a trial
1t was not AZpiroz, or JaureZ and his COM
patriots, that ruined Maximilian. 1t was
| the United States of America that did it,
by ordering the French out of Mexico With
French support he might at least have
avoided capture and death. 1t is said that
| he was persuaded by Bazaine to issue the
sanguinary decree against Mexicans found
| in arms. But monarchs have always wick
| ed advisers. and Maximilian's yielding to
such counsels showed that he was not a
| fit ruler for any country. When his ad-
wiser went away he should have gone with
| him. Having challenged fate by going into
a country that did not want him. and rul-
/ ing 1t with severity. he could expect moth
| ing else but death when his enterprise
| failed.

Mr.. Croker's Dinner.

Well, MIR. Croker and his cohorts of the
Democratic Club, a thousand strong, ate
dinner last night In honor of Thomas JEFF
ferson. There was a notable absence of dis
tirguished democrats of national reputa-
ton. Beyond Mr.. Croker himself. Perry

Suffrage In the south.

The question of negro suffrage in the
south is again one of very live interest.
There is widespread discussion of 1t and a
desire Is generally expressed for some lust
and wholesome solution. That the negro
has too often been the victim of demagogic
appeals by the one side and of violence and
lawlesSness by the other is an established
ract. That he has deserved a better fate

A Chicago Irrexerenc

A toast to Thomas Jefferson!
He was all right. The things he's done
Were great,
I'll state;
But you'll allow
That Tom would not be in it now.
To vast results his sayings led,
But just at present he is dead.
1t takes live men to get the chink,
Like Bath-house John and Hinky Dink.
Things once were differently run.
Old Franklin and George Washington
Were then
Great men.
But men amt worth
A great deal when they're off the earth.
Unless he'd see his laureis fly
A man can't quit his job to die:
He's got to watch and never wink,
Like Bath-house John and Hinky Dink.
He who would still be in the game
Must hail the coming man of fame,
Nor be
Too free
In asking why
Or how his fortunes mount so high.
Perhaps new turn of the wheel
Your dire undoing may reveal.
Till then my homage shall not shrink,
Oh. Bath-house John and Hinky Dink.

The War-Pay Question.

1t is of course agreeable to contemplate
the reduction Of the present heavy national
expense account accomplished as a result
of the proclamation of peace. but IL is to be
questioned whether the popular apprecia-
tion will go so far as to approve the de-
cisiOn that the war-pay of the troops now
serving in the Philippines shall be cut off
at this time. The amount thus saved is not
to be compared with the principle involved.
The official view Is that the disturbance in
the Philippines does not constitute state
of war. but is merely an armed insurrec-
ton 1t is true that there has been no
formal declaration of war. The insurgents
however. have been formally notified by
proclamation that they must accept the
sovereignty of the United States or be
punished. Doubtless the administration is
inspired by a disinclination to dignity the
troubles with the natives by the name of
war II may be that there is a degree of
hesitation about giving to Aguinaldo's
forces the rank of a public enemy Per
haps recollection of the Cuban situation
before Intervention occurred. when Spain
withheld from the colOnists in arms the
recognition of beIligerency which would
have entitled them to the right to buy arms
In this country, is now operating to deter
the government from declaring that the
troops serving in Luzon are entitled to
war-serTice allowances. The fact remains
that the troops are serving under excep-
uonally hard conditions. facing a foe who
must be punished into peace. If the law
cannot possibly be stretched to cover this
case. which IS surely deserving of wide
latitude in the application of the statutes.
then the law ought to be changed, to per-
NIT war-pay for troops engaged in active
field service. whether the occasion be a.
war, an insurrection or a riot.
