Mr. BRYAN and BOltera.

Mr. Bryan is being complimented on the
sagacity he exhibits in discouraging bolt
in Ohio on the part OF his friends. He
does not lack sagacity when 1t comes to
his own interests. He is. indeed, a very
clever politician. He grasped the Ohio sit
uaIion at glance. Were he TO become
boiter now, or the abettor of boilers, his
power would vanish It once The other
course Is imperative. He must accept the
decision Of the majority and bide his time.
VIII his Ohio friends take his advice?
They may not. But they could afford to-
That is. they could very well forbear to
put ticket in the field. Why stand up
and be counted in that way? Why not
take leaf out of the book of the gold
democrats as respects last years cam
paign, and either stay at home on election
day go to the polls and quietly vote the
republican ticket? The Palmer and Buck
ner movement in 1896 was mistake. 1t
accomplished nothing The great majority
OF the gold democrats decided after lit
tie reflection 10 make their strength count
to the full, and so they neglected the ticket
they had put up, which stood no chance
OF success, and deposited their ballots
where they would do the most good. Last
year they rejected the proposition Ifor a

third ticket. and again made themselves
felt in the most effective fashion.
A difference, it is true. Is to be noted in
the two situations. In voting for the re-
publican national ticket the gold demo-
Gratis secured what they desired in the
matter of a money policy. In voting for
the republican state ticket in Ohio the
Bryan democrats would but make sure Of
the defeat of the men who have shoul-
dered silver to the rear The republican
platform contains nothing of which they
approve. But as between the republi-
cans, who stand openly for the gold stand
ard and those democrats who though
once for silver are now turned toward
gold. Mr.. Bryan. by speech and with his
pen, gives praise to the former; and that
may influence the action of many of his
followers In the present dilemma.
And then this further fact is to be con-
sidered: II this years elections should be
carried on platforms advertised to public
favor on the strength of being silent on
the subject of the Kansas City platform.
next years democratic candidates for Con-
gress will copy the slight to silver. and
Bryanism will be hopelessly handicapped
for 1904 But whatever his followers may
decide to do Mr.. Bryan himself Is no bolter,
and so saves his face for another day. He
has played a good card.

The temper OF leading Cuban newspapers
with respect to sites for the American ma
val and coaling stations shows distinct
advance Of good feeling in the island to-
ward the United States since the Plat
amendment was accepted. The era of carp
ing, of seeing red at the bare mention of
the United States and it's purposes. seems
to have passed, and it is now possible to
secure for an American proposition consid-
Grafton upon it's merits.
In making itself strong on the coast of
Cuba the United States will have the double
purpose of serving Cuba and serving itself.
Clearly therefore it should make itself as
strong as possible. The best sites for ma
val stations should be selected. and when
selected they should be put In the best pos
sible condition. 1t Is precisely as IL Cuba
herself were taking the action. Incapable
by reason OF her size and limited resources
of fortifying herself sufficiently against pos

sible attack from without, she yields in
that matter to her mere powerful friend
and neighbor, and in doing so will be wise
in letting her neighbor exercise its own
judgment as to the places to be fortified.
The Cubans cherish sentiment about
the coast Notifications at Havana and at
Santiago. The Spanish flag flying for so
long over those two castles as an emblem
of tyranny made them desirious of seeing
their own flag raised there. But those
places are in the very nature of things
needful for the purposes of this govern
ment, and should be willingly transferred
to us. At no other two places could the
United States hope to make itself so strong
as a naval power for it's own and Cuba 8
benefit. This fact some of the Cuban
newspapers freely concede, and the hope
Is that their views may be widely ac-
cepted.
With this matter satisfactorily disposed
of. and the Cuban government In opera
ton, the next question will be the CONNER
cial relations between the two countries
That they should be intimate Is plain
enough. and that they must be IL Cuba is
to prosper is certain. By her present mood,
therefore, Cuba is recommending herself
for generous treatment on the commercial
score by the United States. We shall re-
spond to her concessions of military and
naval nature by those Of a business nature
We shall be glad to help build her up. and

MIR. McLaurin.s Democracy.

Reading Mr. McLaurin out of the demo-
cratic party for ignoring the national dem
ocratic platform Is queer proceeding.
Do the Tillmanites of South Carolina really
mean it? Do they realize the change that
has come ovor the face of things since the
warfare on the junior senator from that
state was first begun? Are they unaware
OF the fact that he now stands ia distin-
guished and numerous democratic COM
pany? If not, is 1t their opinion that all
men calling themselves democrats who ig-
more the national democratic platform
should receive treatment similar to that
which they are administering to Mr.. Nc
Laurin?
Three months ago Mr. McLaurin was de-
nounced a republican. He denied the
accusation. asserted that he was still a
democrat, but claimed the privilege of the
opinion that his party was on the wrong
track as to several of the leading issues
and should set itself right before the coun-
try. He defended his abandonment of the
silver issue. He defended his attitude to-
ward the American merchant marine. Fa-
voring its rehabilitation, he supported the
only measure that had been brought for
ward for the accomplishment of that end.
Believing that his section and the rest of
the. country would benefit by the retention
of the Philippine archipelago, he held that
the national policy should be shaped SO as
to give the United States the best position
possible in the matter of oriental trade,
with the Philippines as a base. That was
the head and front of his offending.
Today hundreds of thousands of demo-
Gratis are found wanting if weighed in this
scale. The woods are full of them. They
are both open and ostentatious in ignoring
the national democratic platform They do
1t in speeches. in interviews in newspaper
editorials, and in state conventions. They
talk and write all around the subject.
Others as openly repudiate the platform
They assert with vehemence not only that
1t should be abandoned but that 1t should
never have been adopted. 1t embodies in
their eyes the most serious blunders, both
with respect to silver and to Imperialism.
The party, they insist, must face about and
put itself in touch with the business in
terests and the patriotic feelings of the
people.
The critics of Mr.. McLaurin asserted that
he had been influenced in the premises by
patronage and the hope of patronage. And
now this. in substance. is just what Mr..
Bryan is saying of Mr.. Mclean and his
friends. He conceives them to be hunting
simply for office. They are repudiating
the national democratic platform in the
hope of winning at the polls. Their aim Is
power. and not the establishment of demo-
cratic principles. He does not read them
out OF the party, because he has no au-
thority to do SO. But he does not regard
them democrats.
Mr.. McLaurin is not nearly as lonesome
as he was a short time ago. By reading
him out of the democratic party of South
Carolina his enemies are reading him in to
the party elsewhere.

Loyal and Dutiful snObs.

Some American women in England who
are always ready to show themselves more
British than the Britons have been snob-
bishly seeking the favor Of royalty by pre-
senting a medal to the queen. 1t is in
tended to commemorate the services of the
hospital ship which was sent to South
Africa by Baltimore shipping merchant,
who seems to have neglected this oppor-
tunity to, bring himself personally into
notice. So his countrywomen turned the
occasion to their own purposes. The king
graciously received the medal and thanked
the American ladies for their loyal and
dutiful sentiments" He, at least, does not
mistake his position. He accepts all this
'obeisance as a loyal and dutifur' service,
assuming that women who go out Of their
way to do homage to British royalty must
wish to be ranked among his faithful
subjects. In this assumption American
sentiment will cordially concur. If these
people are so in love with England that
they forget all their American sentiments
and sympathies. let them enroll themselves
frankly as subjects of the British sover-
eign. They cannot remain at the same
time sovereign citizens of this republic.
They would do much more credit to their
country by renouncing their allegiance to
it than by dragging it's name into ridic-
ulous and humiliating exhibition of snob-
berry.

ames.

Ancestor worship practiced in this
country has its decided embarrassments.
This is brought sharply to note by the
recent experience of two men who are
named after the same "signer of the Decla-
ration" Robert Treat Paine. One of these
men lives in Boston, the other in New
York. One makes a specially of his an
cestry, the others interest apparently Is
more definitely concentrated on present in
fuences. The New Yorker recently re-
ceived some dividend checks which We're
intended for the Boston Paine and forth
with forwarded them. with a practical sug
gestion intended to save future confusion.
The Boston man replied TO express regret
that man not of the Boston branch of
the family should venture to perpetuate
the name of the "signer," whom he
claimed the first to bear the name, and
deplored the custom of naming children
after famous men. This was too much
for the New York Paine, who wrote to de-
clare his opinion that his own family had
existed many years prior TO the signing
Of the Declaration and that If the 'signer''
was the first TO bear the name uncompi-
mentary thoughts were suggested as TO his
antecedents. He declined to Investigate
his family tree for fear that some withered
branch might be found to extend to the
Boston representatives. With this ex-
change of compliments the correspondence
has closed. but the thought remains that
a serious question of name proprietorship
has been thereby raised. If there is any
social value in name which reflects some
measure of past greatness. should the
bearer OF II be protected in his possession?
The law holds that no man can utilize the
Of far lHsh
without his consent Thus is legally de-
clared a proprietorship in the physical in
dlviduality which may extend to the name
as we'll This principle, If enforced, would
play havoc with the people who dub their
offspring according to the passing fancy
for a popular hero. There's much in
name, indeed. despite the adage.
