BRYAN's CHANCES.

Why shouldn't Williams Jennings
Bryan be the unanimous choice Of the
next nationel convention Of ths Dem
oeratie party? The party is pledged to
the free coinage of silver. It is op-
posed to milltarism, to conquest, to
forcible annexation, to intermeddling
in Oriental broils and European poll
ties. 20 Capitalization Of wealth and
power, to trade restriction, to taxation
for the benefit Of combines and corpor-
atoms. It favors trade expansion,
peaceful acquisition of territory, BIZ
metaliism and the issuance Of paper
rooney by the government.
Mr.. Bryan is the leading exponent of
all of these Democratic doctrines.
Moreover. he is a much stronger man
than he wax three years ago. He was
comparatively unknown before his
nomination. He has grown in the es-
timation OF the people since then. He
was q young. Untried leader then. He
is the Idol Of his party now. It was in
timated in 1896 that he was man OF
one idea, a hobby rider 1t has been
demoRaTated since that he is sound on
all the leading issues of the day.
Three years ago 6.511. 600 citizens
voted for him for the highest Office in
this republic. No Democratic nominee
had ever received so many votes be-
fore. Our readers remember what a
fight he made almost sirsle-handed,
with all the corrupt influences that
could be mustered by that arch cor
ruptionist, Hanna, against him.
He lost, but never struck his colors.
He has never ceased to marshal his
hosts for another battle. True. there
have been some desertions, but there
have oeen eAistments, too. He has
gained more than he has lost. Repub-
licans count on the indifference of the
public this yea- to aid them They
claim that the prosperity which comes
from foreign famines and new gold
discoveries viii be credited up to the
administration 1t may be that some
voters Will be misled by these condl-
tons, but in that banner year Of Re
publican prosperity" 1892, which pro
lection orators and writer's have never
ceased pointing to with pride, the land
slide came which swept the Republican
party out Of power. The money barons
in the east and abroad had their re-
venge, Of course, but the votes were
cast in the zenith Of that era Of pros
perity."
There are Republicans, TOO, who
count upon the military glory with
which the president has sought 10
crown himself. as q factor in his inter-
est. They should not forget that the
administration under which the war
with Mexico was waged and the party
which supported it were swept from
power at the very next election; yet
what war ever was 50 uniformly sue
cessful?
Bryan's nomination is a foregone
conclusion. His chances of election are
Frightening every day. The confident
arrogance Of the opposition viii not
lessen those chances one iota.

WHAT WILL BE THE NEx1q

People are wondering what the next
century viii bring forth. There will be
another year of this one and the indi-
cations are that it viii be crowded to
the last day with interesting and ex-
citing developments.
Laboratories, machine shops and at
tics are peopied with students, schem-
ers and dreamers, who are planning,
perfectng, experimenting and invent
ing-turning out such instruments of
convenience. necessity and pleasure as
the telegraph, telephone, telautograph,
phonOgraph, photo-engravipg appar-
atus. type setting machines, rapid fire
guns. X-ray appliances. lighting and
heating arrangements and thousands of
devices which owe their existence to
the persistency of enthusiasts working
out a theory.
Wireless telegraphy IS among the
possibilities of the near future. Sue
cessfuI experiments have been con-
Quoted already. And there are men
who vouch for it's efficacy whose most
unrea sonable predictions We have long
since learned to accept seriously.
When 1t comes to preserving the
human voice forever, to sending the
strains of music from d concert hall
to the homes of a large city, to draw
ing a likeness a thousand miles from
where the artists operate, to talking
across mounts ms and states in an or
binary tone-who shall say that any
cheimerical dream Of the m1st extrav-
agant visionary may not be realized
during the next century?
