the Manhattan Club banquet on Feb.
% was an announcement Of his can
didacy for the presidential nonina ton
Of the Democratic party in 1904. and,
also that il contained the issues on
which the Democratic party should
conduct the presidential campaign.
IL IS a fair inference from what Mr..
Bryan says that ne is opposed to Mr.
Hill, because, among other reason, Mr..
Hin did not give him an enthusiastic
support in 1896 and 1900. He says that
Mr.. Hlll was skulker and a repudi-
auOr during those two campaigns. He
refused" said Mr.. Bryan, TO give a
single word of encouragement to the
Democratic ticket during the cam
paign, and, as a result, whatever in
fiuenCe he had was thrown against
the party. When the campaign was
over he wrote a carefully prepared
campaign article assailing the Demo-
cratic platform and argued in favor
Of repudiating it,
Very naturally Mr.. Bryan feels ag-
grieved at the course that Mr.. Hill
pursued in the last two national cam
paigns, and il is hardly to be expect
ed that he would say a kind word for
him, even if he believed that the party
was about to follow Mr.. HITS advice
as to the issues on which the Demo-
cratic party should conduct the next
national campaign, but if he thinks
that the party will sympathize with
him to the extent of regulating Mr..
Hill. if the latter seems to be the man
TO lead it in 1904, he is greatly mis-
taken.
The party is not 50 much concerned
about a quarrel that MIR. Bryan and
MI. Hill may have as it is to win the
control of the government in the
next national contest. The party will
not think the less of Mr.. Bryan for
his opposition to Mr.. Hill, but it will
not follow him in opposing Mr.. Hill If
it believes that Mr.. Hill can unite the
Democrats and lead them to victory.
1t is not yet certain of course that
the wing of the party with which Mr..
Hin is Unidentified is going to domi-
nate in the next national campaign,
but in view of the fact that the two
campaigns under Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship resulted in defeats it would not
be surprising if there should be a con-
trolling sentiment in favor Of giving it

VHr uISsIssIPPI MOVEMENT.

As we predicted the resolution.
adopted BY the lower branch Of the
Mississippi Legislature by an almost
unanimous vote, favoring an alliance
between the South and the North and
East-a political and business alliance
is attracting q great deal of atten-
ton. In the East it is understood to
mean that the Democrats OF Mississippi
are ready 10 drop free silver and 20
unite with the Democrats Of the North
and East in making a platform and
nominating a candidate for President
that will command the united support
Of the Northern and Eastern Demo-
Gratis.
There is no doubt that if the Demo-
cratic party is to win in the next ma
tional campaign it must be united. 1t
cannot be united on a platform that
contains declaration in favor of free
silver. That appears to be the opin-
ion of the Democrats of Mississippi,
and they have practically said, through
their representatives in the Legisla-
ture of their state. that they are ready
to abandon the free silver declaration
at least for the time being.
If the other Southern states take
a similar position there is no doubt
that the silver declaration will not ap-
pear in the next national platform of
the Democratic party. The delegates
from the South, North and East will
compose an overwhelming majority of
the national convention.
viii Democrats in other Southern
states take an early opportunity to in
dictate their purpose in respect to free
silver? If they do the question as to
the character of the next Democratic
platform viii be pretty clearly under
stood a long time before the meeting
of the Democratic National Convention.
1t is not improbable that the purpose
of the Southern Democrats will be
made evident in the conventions nom
mating candidates for Congress. 1t is
in the power of the South, to a very
great extent, to say what the character
of the next Democratic national plat
form shall be. In fact, since the ac-
ton taken by the Mississippi Legisla-
ture, it is probable that the Democrats
in other parts of the coun-
try will expect the Democrats
of the South to take the lead in that
matter. 1t would not be surprising
therefore if the South should play the
most conspicuous part in harmonizing
the Democratic party-should practi-
cally dictate the platform and name
the presidential candidate.

THE IRRIGATION bill.

The Senate passed the other day,
with very little debate and practically
no opposition, the bill providing for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
West. So little stir was created by the
bringing of the measure before the Sem
ate that 1t appears the friends of irri-
cation have the passage of the bill
"cinched. " And yet it is a bill involving
the ultimate expenditure of literally
hundreds of millions of dollars. The
New York Journal of Commerce dis
cussing the bill the other day said re-
speeding it, 1.-THE financial undertake
ing is the most extensive that has ever
been proposed by any government
apart from war for the nations hon
or or existence"
1t is estimated that 20, 100000 acres of
land are now available for irrigation.
The average cost of irrigation is placed
at SIS per acre. Thus there is an ex-
pendture of $500, 900 already in
sight. The scheme contemplates the
irrigation of all of the accessible arid
lands of the public domain, the work
to be extended as rapidly as may be
possible. These accessible lands are
calculated at $4,000, 900 acres. There is
therefore a possible expenditure of
5000 900 600 or more involved in the bill
that went through the Senate so
smoothly the other day. The lands
thus irrigated are to be disposed of
under the homestead law and not I'M
der the presumption law.
One argument for the passage Of the
irrigation law is on the ground that
more lands for farms and homes are
wanted. Are the possibilities of those
parts Of the West where nature pro-
vides sufficient moisture exhausted? If
they are, those of the South are abun-
dant There is room in the South for
hundreds Of thousands of farmers on
acres that are just as rich as those
that would be reclaimed, in the West by
irrigation. These Southern lands are
watered by nature. Their cost would
be no more, and probably less, than
the ultimate cost of the irrigated West
ern lands. In the South the home
over water rights, such as are almost
inevitably bound to occur in the irri-
gated sections because of the conflict
ing and involved water laws of the
arid states and territories. Nature has
already done for the South, without
cost to anybody, what it is proposed
| Congress shall do for the West; and in
addition the South's climate is more
genial than that of the arid section.
It may be that Congress is being
given some very strong reasons why
! the irrigation scheme should go
through, but it cannot be that one of
/ the good reasons is a need for more
farming lands. That reason cannot be
| consistently urged while there are so
many acres of unoccupied, idle lands
! ir the South, only waiting to be tickled
/ to smile crops.

Senator Bacon of Georgia, is fond
of telling a story about Allison, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American. 1t dates
back to the days before the Republi-
cans declared themselves opposed to
free silver, and when Allison, regard
ing himself as a very decided presi-
Dental possibility, was waiting to see
how affairs would shape themselves
before making up his own mind on the
subject.
Allison, Bacon, Chandler and sew
eral other senators had gone to Phil
adelphia to witness a launching, and
were seated upon the upper deck of
a steamer provided for their use. The
senator from Iowa was in the best of
spirits, told stories and discussed pub
lie questions With great freedom and
spirit. Suddenly the conversation
shifted to the silver question.
Bacon himself had made a statement
bearing upon the subject, and he turn
ed to Allison for confirmation of his
views. To his astonishment he saw
that the Iowa man had dropped into
a deep slumber, from which it was i'm
possible to arouse him until silver had
been eliminated from the discussion.
Senator Bacon is, himself, the sub

engaged in the last struggle to remain
upon their feet. They were holding
each other by the hand, and as the

With one spasmodic effort, the pair
threw themselves at the startled
statesman; each seized a whisker and

the shock and the pain were too much

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun Dem) says:
ALBERT ]. Beveridge, the junior SEN
ator from Indiana, was the Wash
ington's birthday orator before the
Chicago Union League Club. In his
speech Mr.. Beveridge said the Wall
street wizard has disappeared, mean
ing probably that the capitalists who
a few years ago welded an influence
with a million dollars has dropped
from the throbbing contest. He seems,
however, to have forgotten the high
priest of wizards, who regards a sin
gle million as a mere bagatelle and
builds upon billions. Day after day
newspapers show that the wizard is
still in the flesh. The only difference
is that he is so mighty that he has
swallowed the smaller fry either to
destroy or make them a part of his
corporate self"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) says: THE monetary circula-
ton of the country suffered some con-
traction during February, for the first
time in many months. Gold exports
formed one cause, and national bank
note Withdrawals another. Notwith-
standing the organization of new
banks, the not circulation has expert
enceQ net Qecllne during eacn OF the
past two months, and the Withdrawals
continue. But the act of March. 1900,
liberalzing the note issuing provisions
of the national bank law at least
served its purposes of stimulating
heavy monetary imitation to spread
the speculative boom through the pres
idential year and beyond"

says: The Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Herald init
mates that the pushers of the ship
subsidy bill, which is likely to pass
the Senate, will force it upon the re-

He Was Not -Ben Hur..

Out in San Francisco a few days
ago, says the New York Commercial,
a man CARRIED after the fashion of
Roman senator walked into the South
ern Pacific Railroad station and
bought a ticket for a suburban town.
He was bareheaded, and a light gray
blanket was gracefully draped about
his athletic figure. His legs were with
out clothing, and there were Roman
sandals on his feet. His chest was
rather exposed, but he bore himself
with the demeanor of an actor play
ing "Brutus" in Julius Caesar"
The policeman who guards the rail-
road station thought at first that he
was dreaming when he saw the strange
figure loom up on the sidewalk, but
after looking at him critically he con-
Guided that the gentleman in the toga
was mad or was an advertising de-
vice.
San Francisco has been filled lately
with all sorts of queer street figures
some dressed as cavaliers heralding
the merits of a brand of cigars, and
others dressed as Indians calling at
tention to a smoking tobacco. Only
recently the policeman at the South
ern Pacific station arrested a man who
who had been ordered to keep of the
streets on account of the excitement
that his presence aroused. That ar
rest had proved a difficult task, as
the patrol wagon was not long enough
to hold the mans six feet and the nine
feet of stills, and the fellow was land

but finally accompanied the policeman.
At the hospital he said that his name
was Herr, and smiled pleasantly when
asked if his first name was Ben. When
examined by the physicians he proved
himself possessed of extreme intelli-
gence and a healthy body and mind,
and he entertained the doctors with
recitation on his plan for preserY-
ing strength and not growing old. He
said:
Some years ago my physicians told
me that l would die from consump-

Then, turning to the red-faced 'cop"
who was standing dismayed and open
mouthed nearby, the Roman Senator
said: MY good man, if you would
shake off those heavy clothes you wear,
doff that helmet and those heavy bro
gans, and wear nothing but my blan-
ket and sandals you would not have
that great paunch, and you would be
