It Is already indicated that the republican
party managers are trying to persuade the
operators to grant concessions to the
miners looking to settlement Of the differ
enees. 1t IL to be hoped that their efforts
will succeed. Any political influence which
is available and effective might well be en-

miners leaders to yield somewhat from

At the present stage. so far as the strike

Mr.. Bryan's Letter.

Mr.. Bryan's letter Of acceptance Is
strappy. II might have been written on
pad resting on his knee. as he rushed from
station to station on one OF his Wnlriwlnd
railroad Journeys. The issues are all
touched upon but merely touched upon.
A line about trusts. a line about silver,
line aerut expansion, with word or
two about Cuba, the Nicaragua canal,
and the Monroe doctrine, and the story
is told. The impression made Is that
q task has been performed perfunctor1ly.
The letter will add nothing to Mr.. Bryan's
reputation. nor will the democrats be able
to draw from II, as the republicans will
from Mr.. McKinley's. arguments of value
for use In the campaign.
The severest criticism to be passed upon
the deliverance is that 1t opens with
pledge which. however sincerely made. Is
not worth the paper 1t is written on. Mr..
Bryan can no more commit himself at this
time against third try for the presidency
in case he is elected this year than he can
change the stars in their courses. If he
goes into the White House 1t will be to SUBJ
ject himself to all OF the influences sur
rounding that high station, and inevitably
to yield to such pressure as no man before
him there has ever resisted, Why not a
second term. MT. JelleISou Iidu anu
made good use Of It. General Jackson had
one and made good use of it. Mr.. Lincoln
was reelected. and the whole country still
suffers from the fact that he did not live to
complete the second term. And how much
the people would have benefited had they
reelected General Harrison can only prop
erly be appreciated by recalling the appall-
ing price they paid for putting an end to
an era of prosperity and inaugurating one
of widespread calamity.
Is Mr.. Bryan begging his way into the
presidency? His pledge sounds a little like
it. 1t reads if he might be saying to Mr..
Hill, Mr.. German and others, Come, gen.
tlemen. Bear a hand, everybody, now. Put
me in for one term, and then the field shall
be clear as to the succession. will be In no
mans way four years hence" And does
this account for the activity of those dem
ocratic leaders who although opposed to
everything for which Mr.. Bryan stands, are
yet working for his election?
Vain promise! Vain expectation. For
particulars address the honorable Grover
Cleveland, Princeton. New Jersey. Ask him

Pride, a Mustache and Suicide,

Human pride is sometimes based upon
queer foundations. A f1sh-peddler In New
York boasted of a mos, luxuriant mus
tache, so long that it could be tied In a
knot behind his neck. 1t was renowned
throughout the East Side, a region noted
for its peculiarities of human structure
and adornment. The other day the owner
of this wondrous mustache became en-
broiled with a belligerent expressman. who
in the vent of his fury tore out sections of
the famous growth. The pedder, downcast
over the mutilation Of his mustache, took
poison and ended life which, ne declared
would forever be miserable because his pride

A scheme of Capital DEVELOPMENT.

Architect Glenn Browns article In the
Architectural Review. reprinted In today's
Star. Ia OF great interest to Washington
ians and offers many valuable suggestions
as TO the best method Of developing the
beauties Of the capital and approximating
the ideals which have animated It's foun-
ders and makers. Mr.. Brown, who has had
opportunity and occasion TO study the mat
ter OF public construction at close hand
for many years, believes that the govern
mental buildings should be grouped to af-
ford a maximum artistic effect and to avoid
fnterferences and dissertations such as now
mar some Of the beautiful results of the
structures already created Mr.. Brown be-
lieves the Mall should not be utilized for
building sites. He proposes TO add to its
area by the purchase of certain land on the
south and all the land lying between it and
Pennsylvania avenue the north and
placing on this added area all the public
Structures required by the government.
Thus he adjusts his general proposition to
the project now growing in popularity, that
OF utilizing the space between the avenue
and the Mall for this purpose. As to the
necessity for this enterprise on the part Of
the government there now seems 70 be no
dissent
Mr.. Browns general suggestions are ar
tlstic and attractive. They may never be
realized In detail, even though the main
features OF the project are in harmony
with the thought now gaining ground In
the public mind. The grouping Of the pub
Ho buildings on the space south Of Penn
sylvanta avenue is readily to be made part
Of a comprehensive plan Of Mall deyekop-
ment.
Mr.. Brown urges the construction of
straight avenue or boulevard from the
Capitol to the monument and thence to the
Memorial Bridge, the site of which he pro-
poses to change to the southwark There
are divergent opinions as to the character
ot any broad central thoroughfare through
the Mall. There are objections 10 a straight
street. while such thoroughfare undoubt-
edly affords vtstas otherwise unobtainable
II is gratifying TO note that Mr. Brown I'm
his suggestion. IN adopting the principle of
straight tboroushfare. does not seek to
place the public buildings along It, but
throws them TO new lands added on either
side. and thus clears the park space proper

nediately ornamental character

river bed, would afford an opportunity for
the Washingtonian and his guest to see

events in a manner nowhere to be paral-

There are features Of Mr.. Browns sug-
gestion which fit these opportunities and
overcome these obstacles in such a manner
as to commend 1t in general to the atten-
tion of the authorities. 1t avoids a further
use of park space for building purposes. Ii
sweeps away the structures now defacing
the avenue and the Mall and utilizes their
sites for beautiful and useful improve

which have been urged against a straight

Mr.. Bryan's Letter.

From the New York World Dem.).
Mr.. Bryan's discussion OF the silver Ques-
ton Is naturally the weakest part OF his
letter. His contention for "ths goiu and
silver coinage OF the Constitution" for ex-
ample, Is either meaningless or disingenu-
Gus. The Constitution says nothing about
the ratio-32 TO 1 would be just as consti-
tutional as 16 to /, and twice as honest.
Equally unworthy Is Mr.. Bryan's repetition
of the platform demagogy that the demo-
cratic party is mot willing that other ma
tions shall determine for us the time and
manner Of restoring silver money to its
ancient place a standard money" No
foreign nation cares "a ttnkers dam when
or IN what proportion we coin our silver

lost cause was never moro apparent than in
