BRYAN-FANATIC.

lntelHgencer OF fTfday.
No observing man can look IN Bryan's
eye without instantly deciding that the
man is a fanatic. ] give him credit Tor
honesty of purpose and goodness of heart.
but he is not of Presidential stature. HIS
eye is the eye of Father McGlynn, one of
the best men in the world. but fanatical.
1t is the eye of PettigreW. who Is thor
oughly insane. 1t is the eye OF Paul
Deroulede, as crazy a Frencnman as ever
shrugged shoulders 1t is the eye of John
Brown. of Ossawatomic. It is the eye lit
up by the ignis fatuus of mad ambition.
Bryans greatest day was when he was
nominated at Chicago in 1896.
&c. Bryan has bad eye. He is a
fanatic of the Father McGlynn
school. He is double of Paul Derou-
lede. and is afflicted with the spirit OF
JON Brown, whose soul still goes
marching on. Well, that isn't bad
coterie to follow. The Intelligencer
itself says Father McGlynn was zone
of the best men in the world" Paul
Deroulede was a French patriot, if one
ever lived, and we. all now of John
Brown and his ambitions in the direc-
ton of freedom for race held in slav-
cry. If Mr.. Bryan combines the es-
sence of these three men he must be
pretty good, and a safe man to follow.
And even Pettigrew stands for liberty,
equality and for the advancement OF
the people Has it come to this, that
man who has the eye of John Brown
is to be denounced and ridiculed in a
Republican paper, simply because he is
a Democrat There was time when
Republicans swore by John Brown and
held his memory aloft as a precious

Richard Croker and Thomas Plat,

widely divergent in political creeds, have
nevertheless a very close understanding

Beyond question it Is this unholy alliance

eight powers cooperating over In

Austria, France, Italy, Britain and
ourselves. without counting poor old
Spain struggling along in the back
ground with second-table people like
Belgium and Portugal. Which makes
q queer combination. It will be the
first time in history that Russians and
English or Americans have fought
side by side, or anybody else alongside
the Jsps, and so on.
By the International rules of war,
the highest in rank in any OF the armies
will take command of the combined
forces, which means that the comman-
der In chief will be either from the
Russians or the Japs since they will
have more troops than anybody else
and consequently higher officers.
Which in turn means more trouble
since Russia and Japan are almost at
swords points now. Again, none OF the
white powers has the most implicit
trust in any others and all alike des-
pise the non-white and semi-whfte
soldiers of Japan and Russia. Natural
ly, too, the situation among
English speaking people is further
complicated by a disposition on our
part to look down on the Briti.h. Ill

AS for the people from eastern Europe
they mostly shocked US. There was
one Hungarian cavalry commander, a

He led famous charge at Spring. field,
