A PERENNIAL LEADER.

Colonel W J. Bryans political programme
seems subject to change nowadays between
way stations. At one stopping point he softens
wistfully to the suggestion Of another PreSl-
Dental nomination; at the next he waves aside
that thought as the unhallowed prompting Of
an overbold ambition At Mason City, Iowa, on
Wednesday, when the yielding mood was up
permost he was quoted as declaring that he
was not a candidate in the light Of seeking
'again to lead the Democratic party. but if the
party should decide he was the proper man to
head the ticket, he could not honorably say
NO" At Muscatine, in the same State, on
Friday when the colder fit was on him, he an
pounced with virtuous resignation: II will not
''be a candidate for President in 1904 While
e'I would not promise never to be a candidate
.'under any circumstances, | nave no plans
looking to a future nomination for any office"
Plainly. however. whatever other surprises
the Nebraska orator may have in store for his
devoted followers. he has no idea at present of
dwindling to a merely honorary and passive
role in Democratic politics. If he can help him
self he will never play the part of an emeritus
leader In the ease and quiet Of Monticello
like retirement he will not force despairlng
party to cry aloud, "Oh! for an hour or Bryan
in Democratic councilst' 1t is not IN MS heart
or in his books to make repentant ana De-
wfIdered Democracy clamor for the touch or
vanished hand in party platforms, for the
sound of a voice that is still on the political
hustings. No: the country faces no such dis
traction as Colonel Bryan's withdrawal within
the cooling shelter of some poItcal hermitage.

OPEN DOORS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The Presidents authorization of the Pacific
Cable scheme, reported in our special dis
patches yesterday, doubtless means the prompt
cornpletion Of that eminently desirable work,
on terms, as set forth in our dispatches, amply
protecting Governmental interests and estab-
fishing the whole work upon truly American
basis. Especially gratifying is the assurance
recently reported from Washington, that the
monopoly Of cable service in the Philippines
claimed by the Eastern Extension Company is
TO be ignored, and the doors Of that archi-
peiago are TO be kept open to all the world
for free communication. We have frequently
hitherto dwelt upon that point as the most
important Of all connected with this subject
and have urged that in some honorable way
the United States and its possessions should
be freed from the incubus of that Span
ish grant Such way Of release DOW seems to
have been found and TO have been adopted, and
II is the simple one long ago suggested in these
columns, OF regarding the Spanish concession or
contract as not binding upon the United States.
There is ample authority for the adoption Of
such g course. 1t is found in the Treaty Of
Peace with Spain and in the protocols and ne
gotiations Of the commissioners which preceded
the anaI making of that treaty. In the confer
ence Of the Peace Commissioners held in Paris
on December 6. 1898 the Spanish Commission
ers proposed the insertion in the treaty Of an
article which should provide that contracts
formally entered into by the Spanish Govern
.''ment or its authorities for the public service
"of the Philippines and which
contracts are still unperformed shall continue
in force until their expiration. pursuant TO the
terms thereof. The new government
will therefore as regards the said contracts
'be holden TO all the rights and obligations
therein attaching to the Spanish Government"
To this proposed article OF the treaty the Span
ish Commissioners appended list of the con-
tracts referred TO, one of them being described
as Gable contract, Manila to Hong Kong with
another English company l'Tbe Eastern0" In
reply to this proposal the president OF the
American Commission stated that the American
Commissioners Were constrained to reject the
article. Later, on December 10, in the Annex
10 Protocol No. %, The American Commission
'ers felt constrained to reject the articles ten
'dered by the Spanish Commissioners in respect
to contracts entered into for public works and
services The proposed article was accord
ingly omitted from the final draft of the Treaty
of Peace, and the treaty, without such article
was accepted and signed by the Spanish Com
missioners and was ratified by the Spanish
Government payment Of s2o.0O0,00o was,
however, made TO the Spanish Government un-
der the treaty, to indemnify it for betterments
made by it upon the islands, including, we may

The campaign in Cleveland against soft coal

Workers who are seeking relef from WHAT we

nprnicious work and will continue to do so
until the case is determined. Certain classes
of suits would seem because of their very
nature to be entitled TO the promptest possible
hearing, and these are among them
Another feature of the Cleveland campaign IS
that 8 nrivate citizen has taken up the matter
bv bringing suit against railroad company
for indemnify for the damage its smoke mas
done to his house and its contents. This llt-
CANT is an experienced corporation lawyer, and
is possessed of great wealth and greater resolu-
ton. wherefore it is anticipated that ne VIII

to be logical ground for his suits and some eA-
pectation. from analogy, that they may be sue
cessful Thus it has been we'll established that
a railroad company is responsible for damage
done by fires started by sparks from its en-
gines. Why not, then, also for damage dohe
by smoke from the same engines!
Whatever may be the detailed outcome Of the
Cleveland campaign. we must regard 1t as
most auspicious indication of growing interest
on the part of the people in the abatement OF
grievances and in the making of life more COM
Portable and enjoyable. Beyond doubt. Amert-
cans have too much neglected such work They
have been so intent upon doing business and
getting rich that they have ignored or tolerated
nuisances which would never have existed save
for such liberation. II is time they woke up to
a realization OF the fact, and mended their
ways in a jealous resentment Of every wanton
or needless infringement upon their rights.

The latest fad" suggestion to avoid seasick-
ness is to eat no meat shipboard, and TO
follow the vegetarian diet strictly without vari-

supposed to have been inspired by some IN

harm can there be in giving it a thorough trial!
If the qualms and distresses Of an ocean voyage

really believed that Mr.. Osborne could stem
the tide Of expert testimony as he pro-
fcssed he would before court opened to-
day, nevertheless the angry discussion that

with the greatest interest. Mr. osborne's
contention was that the manner OF death,

Rice's demise was concerned rs testified

that therefore there was no room for
