NOT GAINING,

| Although the nomination of Bryan
now eeems inevitable it is evident that
he Is not the idol of his party. He Is
not even as much of an idol as he was
There are OMNIBUS mutterings In the
South against him, and he does not
seem to be heartily trusted and beloved
helped him. 1t has exposed his light
ness and insincerity. Much criticism of
his wisdom is made and there is much
feeling of the kind voiced by the Phila-
delphia Record, which says: By his
Populist platform and his speech men
acing the people with a new greenback
agitation just when the spectre Of free
silver has been laid Mr.. Bryan has
shown even to his most jealous adher-
ents in the past that he is not the man
for the hour. No matter how sound
may be his views upon the great issue
which Republican administration and
a Republican congress are forcing upon
the nation, his identification with the
worst monetary heresies and humbugs,
including greenbackery, has inspired a
distrust of him which cannot be over
come in the pivotal States that will de-
eide the contest.
Bryan has been too long in the public
eye, and the public eye eeems to be
somewhat irritated by him. He has not
gained lately in the respect and affec-
ton of the people.

grade of colored clerks is higher than
ever before. And they all draw in SAL
aries from the federal treasury $5,53S, GIG
per annum, or nearly sixteen cents for
every colored man, woman and child in
the country.
This is surprising progress for people
who only forty years ago were In cav
cry, and who have had savage prejudice
to contend with ever since. We suppose
it is possible that there may yet be
black man in the White House, If the
octop or other things do not destroy the
republic.

IA WAII.lN SILPER.

There is a silver question in our Ha-
walan possessions, but the outlook is
good for its speedy settlement. Secre-
tary Gage and the director of the mint
yesterday appeared before the House
committee on territories, in regard to
the bill relating to Hawaiian silver
coinage introduced by Mr.. Knox,
chairman of that committee. The sec
rotary and the director gave the bill
their Endorsement, and the expectation
is that it will be favorably reported.
This measure provides that all the old
Hawaiian government silver coins now
in circulation be redeemed at face
value and retired before January /,
1903, and that the silver certificates be
retired by January l, 1904. The silver
coins are to be recoined into American
silver.
This is certainly fair plan. Even
Bryan can't find any crime" in 1t.

FRENCH VITALITY.


! The position of France in the world Is
unique. England, Germany and Amer

ducers, possess nothing which Is unique

Frenc, we owe practically everything
that adorns and graces existence,
Their creative faculty, their inexhaus-

ear, the taste and the intelligence, give
to life nearly all the charms it possess
es. Their wonderful metropolis, in
stinct with everything that an artistic
imagination has been able to devise In
architecture and IN street scenery to
make 1t beautiful their shops. which
are pleasure and lesson in the fine
arts; their theaters in which the his
trionic art has reached the highest
point Of development ever attained;
their brilliant schools of painting, sculp-
ture music, literature, philosophy, sci
ence, open to all the world, are but a
few of the things that make France
unique upon earth as an intellectual re-
erection ground for humanity. There
are people, nevertheless, VINO call
France one of the decaying nations
Yet what other country can show Il
greater array of more varied talent or
more varied talent or more enduring
work in the things of beauty which are
a joy forever?
France a decaying nation? France
who, after she was drained, by the re-
vocation of the Edict of Nantes, of
what appeared to be the flower of her
