CURRENT COMMENT.

The Boston Post Qnd) says: Suppose
Bryan were elected President what would
happen? What sort of President would
we have in him.
In she first place, we should have a
thoroughly honest man in the White
House. This is a fact conceded by Mr..
Bryan's political foes as well by his polt-
ical friends. And il is more than the
Republicans can say of every candidate
for President put up by their party.
I'VE should have a President of unques-
toned ability. Mr.. Bryan has shown him
self man of parts. He is not only bril-
liant orator. he has demonstrated his pos
session of the qualities of craftsmanship.
1--WE should have a President who is per-
sonally unselfish Mr.. Bryan is devoted
to principles rather than to the advance
ment of his individual interests. He is a
broad-minded man.
I'VE should have for President a man of
tact and good humor. Mr. Bryan would
enter the White House without enemies
10 punish or grudges to satisfy. He car
ries no knife.
And touching the policies and issues on
which this election turns. we should have
a President devoted to the republican as
against the imperial theory of govern
ment; to the protection of the interests
monopolsic cabais.
I'VE should have a President who has
pledged himself to what I've at the East
regard as a mistaken theory of finance.
but who would be unable in the four years
of his term TO put his theory in practice
in any form.
"All in all, even from the Republican
point of view, there have been many can,
didates, both Republican and Democratic.
nh. ala ff-V.
be properly regarded with greater appre-
hension than that of William Jennings
Bryan"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem }
says: At present our exports of cotton
goods are very small-not much over 5
per cent. of the exports of Europe. The
South must seek a Pacific outlet for its
increasing productions of cotton goods.
The building of cotton mills. as well as
the trade of the gulf ports are all tied up
i'm the building of the Nicaragua canal,
which the Democracy have indorsed and
the Republicans have evaded at the dlcta-
ton of the transcontinental railroad own
ers. In this respect the Kansas City plat
form stands, in other words for South
ern interests, while the PHILADELPHIA plat
form represents the plans for delay and
obstruction presented by the opposition
schemers.'
The Chicago Chronicle Dem) says:
Dictator shouts a Republican organ.
William j. Bryan is a dictator before the
election; he would be dictator in the
White House And that may be true.
We may. however, console ourselves with
the thought that a dictator who does his
own debating IL uai,lpra,Iv 10 ,a rra
ferred over one who dictates at the die
tation OF someone else-at the dictation OF
Mr.. Hanna, for instance"
The New Orleans Times-D Democrat
Dem) says: enthusiasm win not win
an election, although IL can help very
materially in the fight. The chief lesson
from the Philadelphia and Kansas civ
Conventions is that one was a convention

the bosses"

washington, Feb. Sat the afternoon
session of the Clark investigation conn
mltttee Mr.. Rhodes said that Too)e said
he preferred republicans to assist and
wanted to engage men to testify who
would obey Instructions as to the char
acter of their evidence. On cross-exam-
ination witness was asked if Toole wa,
not a declared advocate Of the Rosebud
bill. Senator Hoar inquired If the witness
was not indignant at Toole's proposal.
Mr.. Toole will be given an opportunity to
refute the testimony of Rhodes and thus
a question of veracity will be raised be-
tween the two men. Judgment should
be suspended till Toole shall testify.
Ex-Auditor Cook testified that Speaker
Stiff tod him at the Montana club that
he was a man of family and would vote
for Clark if he could get fifty thousand
dollars. Witness denied all of Stdff's tes-
timony relating to the formers alleged
offer OF money to Stiff to support Clark.
Cook denied special intimacy with or
agency for Clark. He could remember
% two men who talked Of corruption
before 1t became common talk. He gave
a list of Days representatives at Hell

On cross-examination he admitted No
Ian was not an active for the
Daily side. He was interrogated by Hoar.
Jacqueth next testified, denying all al
legged meetings with Clark's agents in the
Power block and elsewhere. He never
saw or knew Rector and spoke to Steele
but once. He swore Wh'fteside had it IN
for him because the witness had refused
to allow him to swindle the town Of Kali
ispe,l on a public contract. To-day's
testimony all raised the question OF yer.
acty between the DAILY witnesses and
Clark Witnesses. The cross-examina-
ton Of Jacqueth is progressing.

Government of Cuba.

New York, Feb. 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington vi Though
gratified at the excellent conduct of the
residents of Cuba since American occu-
patton began, the authorities are still un-
able to name the date when American
sovereignty shall end and the inhabitants
of the island shall commence the adminis-
tration Of their own affairs.
Under instructions given by the pres.
ident and the secretary of war before his
General Wood is doing every.
thing in his power to educate the people
of the island in self-government, not only
by example, but by placing them In posia
tons of responsibility. 1t Is believed that
after the Spanish subjects Of the island
have registered their intention Of cons
%tinuing their allegiance to Spain or of be.
coming citizens of Cuba. the people will
be ready for the election which will cons
NIT the municipal governments of the isl.
ands to officers elected by the people.
These elections will. of course, be conduct.
ed under American supervision.
The operations of the municipalities
will be carefully watched by the admin%
istration in order to determine If the peoA
Pile are ready for a larger responsibility
and it If should be shown that such il
IN case, then a representative convene
ton will be called to draft a constitution
and to establish a general system of ms
dependent government. In his annual
message the president declared that the
United States mus see to it that free
Cuba be a reality. not a name, a perfect
entity, not a hasty experiment BEAR
ing within itself the elements Of failure"
The year allowed by the treaty of Paris
for the Spanish population Of the island
to elect whether they will be Cuban OF
Spanish citizens, will expire on April II
next. It was believed that by that tima
the results Of the census would have
been computed and tabulated, when this
government would then be ready to pro-
vide for municipal elections.
