Bryan Should Follow Suit.

from the New York Herald.
In his frank and manly announcement
that he will not again be candidate for
the presidency and would not accept a
nomination Mr.. Mckinley has rendered his
country an important service.
By announcing that he will not be can
didate for third term, the President ef-
fectually refutes the sinister insinuation
that. with his eye on a third term, he was
disposed to procrastinate legislation for
the insular possessions let's the people
know what to expect. and vastly strength
democracy and for the country If Mr..
Bryan would follow this example by dis
tinctly and definitely declaring that he will
not for third time seek nomination
by his party.
The democrats, who have twice insured
Mr.. Bryan's defeat, however, will never
accept him a candidate. Unification OF
the party seems hopeless so long as his re-
nomination remains a possibility. If he
were named a third time it would entail
third defeat, from which the party prob
ably could never recover. Mr.. Bryan has
said that he does not desire another nomi-
| nation. There are few who question his
sincerity. He can save his party by i'm
itating Mr.. McKinley's example and max
ing definite irrevocable declaration that
he would not accept a nomination even il

In doing this he, too. will render service
not only to his party, but to the country,
for pretty evenly balanced, parties and an
effective opposition are essential to the

quent commercial ruin. This section, just
entering upon the profitable manufacture
of it's own unlimited raw materials. has
for years been the hope of the free traders
in the United States and abroad, and was
induced in 1894 to lend Itself to the Cleye-
land Whitney scheme for introducing raw
materials into the country free. This sec
ton, with it's long sea frontage, is fercely
arrayed against the rehabilitation of the
American merchant marine, and is calling
for the retirement of the one senator from
its borders who spoke last winter in favor
of the only measure before Congress having
that object in view.
What explains such a record? Machine
politics. Nothing else under the shining SUM-
The people of the south have permitted
themselves to be marshaled under the BAN
ner of mere prejudice and regularly voted
against their own best interests. Fortu-
nateIy for them, and for the rest of the
country, they have not prevailed. The two
campaigns for cheap money failed. and the
victory scored at the polls for free trade
came to nothing when legislation in ac-
cordance with it's spirit was demanded.
1t was one thing to go upon the stump
and challenge the protected industries to
a battle to the death. 1t proved to be quite
another thing to administer the death
blow after the industries had been placed
at the mercy Of Congress. The industries
survived The party that had decreed
their destruction went out of power at the
next election.
All of the opening speeches at Phla-
delphia yesterday were pitched in the key
of brotherhood, business conservatism and
patriotism The southern men met the
northern men in spirit of frank dis
cussion, and each section wished for the
other abundant good luck and prosperity.
1t was not meaningless exchange of COM
pliments. but a sincere exchange of ideas
and suggestions. If such meetings We're
of more frequent occurrence, and some OF
them held in southern cities, it would be
far less difficult for a man like Senator
McLaurin to face in a direction and
obtain a cordial hearing for his views
and purposes. But that day is coming,
nevertheless.

The south's Material Re.ource.

In his address at the opening of the
southern industrial convention in Phila-
delphia yesterday President Hargrove said :
The southern states contain one-fourth h
or the area Of the Union. and the terri
tory has practically great an agricul-
turaI production as the remainder of the
country combined Its capacity In raw ma
terial Is almost beyond measurement. This
section has 20 per cent of the populatio
or the United States. 1t raises all of its
cotton and its cottouseed and American
rice; 50 per cent OF it's tobacco; contains
20 per cent of its timber resources; 30 per
cent of its coal area; 20 per cent of its
coal production; produces 17h per cent of
its iron. and furnishes so per cent of the
American pig iron exported; is the third
largest cane sugar producing section of the
world; contains more coast and river 'front.'
age than all the other states; has 30 per
cent of railroad mileage. and affords the
cheapest lumber building material lands,

undeveloped, so dependent for development

creased banking facilities, voted almost

ChicagO's Public Building.

Really. Chicago Is top bad. There is no
pleasing that hustiing metropolis. A new
public building is planned for the city and
its inhabitants want 1t finished inside of
Ave years. The building is started at a
pace which promises the consumption of
ten years. and the unreasonable people re-
fuse to compromise on more than seven and
half years. special inspector is sent
out to Chicago to see what can be done to
meet the public wishes, and is met with
scorn when he begins to tell of the vast
army of workingmen who are directly and
indirectly contributing to the progress of
the structure. Finally, enough granite is
In place to allow the carvers to start and
canvas screens are hoisted between them
and the public. The people take heart as
the sound Of mallet and chisel is heard.
Evening star., 1901-06-12

Four weeks pass and the canvas screens
are removed. The unreasonable Public
howls in disgust. There Is not enough
carving either to Justify the lapse of time
or to satisfy the popular taste. There is
evidently a vendetta spirit abroad in Chi
cago with the government building bureau
as its object. Nothing satisfies, nothing
will suffice. The whole enterprise Is awry
and out of keeping with Chicago methods.
Chicago would have built the post Office
eighteen stories high, plastered it with or
namental carving and had it finished inside
of twelve months. Or, on pinch, the city
would have been satisfied with half the
height and less carving, but not with
longer construction period. The western
metropolis wants quick deliveries. This
impatience with the dilatory methods of
the Treasury Department ought to bear
fruit at some subsequent session Of Con-
gress. Washington has had the same ex-
perience. and the object lesson of delay
was right under the congressional eyes,
yet nothing was done to relieve the situa-
ton. The experience was too much in the
ordinary course of things to arouse any
special degree of reformatory indignation
among the law makers. despite the persist

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.

Another failure to carry out after death
the desires of wealthy man Is seen in
the dissipation of the fortune left by Sam
uel Wood, a New York millionaire Mr.
Wood wished to establish a college of
music, but litigation has absorbed the
large sum of money he left for that pur-
pose.
The only way to be certain that con-
templated public institutions shall receive
the benefit of wealth is for the donor to
attend to the matter himself. This has
been said many times. and 1t Is needed,
for probably more wealthy men are act
ing upon the idea now than at any pre-
vious time in the history Of the human
race.
There must be a deep satisfaction in
witnessing with ones own eyes the bene-
fits produced by philanthropic deeds such
as those in which Mr.. Carnegie delights.

alton. as well as posterity, that will derive

n In PennSyIVanIa.
Senator Quay's republican machine in
Pennsylvania has once more stirred public
opinion in the state to it's depths by exc
cutting drive" in street railway fran
chises which is now being denounced from
one end of the commonwealth to the other.
The legislature passed a law recently, at
the instance. it Is supposed, of the ma
chine leaders, which gave the power to
city councils 10 grant traction franchises
OF the most valuable character, to be prac
tically unlimited in period and uncon-
ditiOnal. 1t was naively announced that
applications for the charters would be con-
sidercd on the ''frst-come-frst-serve
principle. but when outside applicants for
the privileges fled their claims for space
they found that in some mysterious man
ner the state had been bespoken by ap
plicants even earlier than the supposedly
early bird" Now the city councils are
at work granting the charters. Philadel-
phia is in a ferment of unrest In conse-
quence. There is a prospect that it's streets
will be gridirOned with tracks without re-
gard to their present need and without
care TO protect the present and future
rights of the public. Some of the most
extravagant propositions are under con-
sideration. Estimates of the value of the
iidlCHLSeS lHuS 10 De given away mount
into the tens and hundreds of millions.
Some OF the charters are evidently desired
for later sale. and some perhaps for actual
use. No restriction upon the number of
street miles to be occupied appears to have
been adopted The sole purpose of the
law seems to have been to permit the
faithful followers of the bosses to fatten
their purses at the public expense. The
excuse given in defense of the bill Is
that the people need more transportation
accommodations and that capital is shy Of
undertaking heavy investments in this
line now without guarantees and compen-
salons On the other hand the intelIi-
gent citizen who sees bit ahead holds that
franchises granted under such pressure
do not represent public demands, but pri-
vate ayarice. and that to build such rail-
roads is only TO burden the streets TO
mulct minority stockholders and to per-
haps impOyerish the railroads already pro-
viding The public with a fairly adequate
service. The political effect of the drive
remains TO be measured. Pennsylvania has
stood a good deal In the past from this
same machine. and may be in a mood to
endure its latest invasion of the public
rights.

Rnoms and 1904.

Mr. Mckinley's card will give an I'M
petus to speculation about the presidency
on both sides of the line. How stand the
men whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the nominations for 1904?
On the republican side both Mr.. Foraker
and Mr. Fairbanks must test their strength
at home before then. In order to remain
strong in the national appreciation both
must win at homs Mr.. Foraker submits
his case this year, and will encounter Wig
orous democratic opposition. His friends,
however. his party is solidly behind
him. predict his success Mr.. Fairbanks
will go before mis- people next year, and
with favorable prospects. He has made
an excellent impression both at home and
elsewhere But all elections in Indiana are
most stubbornly contested, and the state
until recent years was often found in the
democratic column.
In New York Vice President Roosevelt
and Governor OdelI are on the republican
list The former will not have occasion
to try his popularity again before 1904.
but the latter will Governor Odell will
ask an Endorsement at the polls, and fail
ing that would necessarily pass off the
scene. But he is a strong man, and the
present expectation is that he will be re-
elected In that event his friends will
urge his claims ior his party's highest
gift.

Easy street so far office is concerned.
He won his fight last winter by a hand
some majority, and he has only now to
watch the corners and observe how the
general situation develops. He has had
half century of political experience. and
is not likely to overlook or to underplay
good hand.
on the democratic side first and foremost
comes Mr.. Bryan. Will it occur to MIN
that if two successful terms in the White
House do not entitle man to third,
two unsuccessful efforts to reach there
ought to bar a man from making third
Probably not He will not reason in that
way. He is a thirG-termer when it comes
to trying for the presidency. as his oppo-
nents in his party are beginning to dis
cover. David B. Hill is foot loose. but Mr..
German is in the tolls for another cam
paign in Maryland. If he loses that it
will be idle for anybody. even for maneu-
vering purposes, to mention him again in
connection with the presidency. Carter
Harrison is not TO be taken seriously into
account. and in the cases of Tom John
son and John r. Mclean, it is evident that
even if they should succeed in carrying
Ohio this year neither would exert himself
TO advance any resulting presidential hope
fulness the other might experience.
But suppose some democratic leader of
attractive record and conceded ability
should defeat Mr.. Oden for governor of
New York. and another such man should
defeat Mr.. Fairbanks for senator in In
