THE WANING OF Nh. BRYAN.

It's political forecasts. has secured rep
resentztive expressions from seven
teen states as TO the future Of VIII
liam J. Bryan. especially with refer
enee TO the next Presidential cam
paign The opinion is practically
unanimous that Mr. Bryan will not
and should not be nominated third
time by the Democratic party In q
few states tie idea prevails that be

convention. perhaps debating the plat
form and naming the candidate In
the majority OF states consulted. the
conviction prevails that while Mr.
Bryan is strong personally. the people
have lost faith in him as a Presiden-
tial possibility and that he win not
cut much figure in the next Democra
tic convention or campaign All in
all. the reports indicate a remarkable
waning of the political prestige Of
the Nebraska man who stampeded
the convention OF 1896 and practically
conducted every procedure Of the con-
vention Of 1900.
Politically the worst thing that can
befall an aspirant is the popular be-
lief that he cannot Be elected That
is what has happened to Bryan. In
1896. when the chances OF the party
were not regarded as good. Bryan and
free silver were supported as a posi-
BILE means OF stampeding the country
into Democratic victory Aside from
the boiling Gold Democrats. vast
numbers of the rank and file did not
believe in Organism. In 1900 the par
~ really had very little 70 do with the
nomination or the platform. The
whole thing was Bryan. The support
be received was partly through faith
in the man and his policies. and partly
through the desire to be politically
regular Yet In both instances there
was prevailing opinion that he might
be elected. Now there is positive
conviction that be cannot win.
Parties do not cling TO men in
whom they have no hope. Mr. Bryan
is given TO specious platitudes One
Of his favorites is: A man can af-
ford 10 be in the minority. but he
cannot afford TO be wrong" That is
a high-sounding principle. In the alb
stract 1t is calculated TO be quite
effective. II may be said to have
aroused a good deal OF admiration for
the Nebrsskan in the last campaign
But when the principle is applied to
the case. IL losses force II Mr. Bryan
were an infallible doctor of political
economy. II would not lose force But
who is 10 say that he is right and
those who are opposed to him wrong?
The majority is generally right in an
enlightened country The majority
has been against Bryan and Organism
In two contests. You cannot keep up
popular enthusiasm or attain success
on diseredited theories. Especially
not In politics.
A certain element viii adhere to
Bryan. admlring his personal qualities
and his undoubted courage OF con-
vietion. But many of these will be
alienated when they find that the
former leader. now discredited as the
directing factor of the party. opposes
those who seek harmonious adjust
ment and united action.

The balance sheet of the United
States treasury shows a surplus of
10000. 900 for May. and for the eleven
months of the fiscal year the surplus
has been about s5S.000.000 But the
surplus of May far exceeds that of any
previous month. The fact attracts
no comment on the part of large
number of newspapers. but if there
had been a deficit of $1,000 they
would have discovered the fact and

The Consular Service.

Inc SOnSutdr service
The consular service Is now organized
under the provisions of law passed in
1856, which is entirely inadequate TO exist
ing conditions. The interest shown by so
many commercial bodies throughout the
country in the reorganiza tion Of the serv-
ice is heartily commended TO your atten-
tlon. Sevelpl bills providing for new
consular service have in recent years
been submitted TO the congress They are
based upon the just principle that ap-
pointments to the service should be made
only after q practical test OF the appli-
cant's fitness; that promotions should be
governed by trustworthiness, adaptabtlity
and zeal IN the performance OF duty and
that the tenure OF Office should lie unaf-
fected by partisan considerations.
The guardianship and fostering OF orr
rapidly expanding foreign commerce. the
protection or American citizens reSortins
to foreign countries in law tui pursuit Of
their affairs and the maintenance OF the
dignity OF the nation abroad combine TO
make it essential that our consus should

In the main efficient, but standard Of
excellence cannot be perna nently main-
tanned until the principles set forth IN the
bills heretofore submitted 10 the congress
on this subject are enacted into law.
In my judgment the time has arrived
when We should definitely make up our
minds TO recognize the Indian as an indi-
vidual and not as member OF tribe

some G0.ovn Indians have aireaGy become
citizens OF the United States. We should
now break up The tribal funds. dong Tor

Ihe ISthmiAn canal.
No single great material work which re-

is OF such consequence to the American
people the building OF a canal across
the isthmus connecting North and South
