Colonel Bryan may lay the fatteFing
JUNCTION to his soul that at any time
as the next national convention ap-
proaches he can rush over into Iowa
and with one blast upon his %buglehorn
re-Bryanize the Iowa democracy. But
the sober truth Is that he has no time
to lose IL he cares anything for the Iowa
delegation in that convention. The
Iowa delegation is in fact absolutely in
~dispensable to him, and yet things are
being seriously and systematically
framed up to put and to keep Iowa in

Our Dawes political stock in trade has
always been Of the claim-all variety.
If o believe his boasts, everybody is
demanding his reelection and every
ward and precinct is solid for him. Two
years ago, it will be remembered, he
launched his senatorial boomlet on the
same hot-air railroad, pretending in
self-made interviews that members Of
the legislature from all over the state
were writing to him asking the privilege
Of casting their votes for him. 1t trans
pired that the only letter writing on the
subject was done by Mercer, begging
for support, and when it came to the
joint ballot for United States senator not
a single man expressed his choice for
Mercer. But Dawes brass never fails

winning much commentator for his
very practical way Of doing things. 1t
is remarked of him that personal OBJ
servation, personal contact, apparently
counts for as much as reports read in
the seclusion of his office at Washington
or formal visits from men of affairs.
1t is said that he has gone to New York
City more frequently than any secretary
of the treasury whose home was not
there and the fact that he dares to be
original Is duly recognized by the lead
ing 6nanciers. 1t was due to his fore
sight and originality, observes a New
York correspondent that the banks are
in condition not only to demand but
instantly to receive the additional cir
culation and in the kind of currency
notes needed wherewith to meet the ap-
peals of those in the west who are
looking for payment for their crops.
There has, of course, been some criti-
cism of Secretary Shaw's original ideas,
but he has come to be very generally
regarded as an exceedingly safe man
and the financial interests of the country
have learned to have entire confidence
in him.

TIE HAYrIEN rRouBLE.

1t is not probable that anything seri-
Gus will result from the sinking Of the
Hayden gunboat by a German war YES
sci. The gunboat was in the service
Of the revolutionary party in Hayti and
it's destruction was doubtless a crafty
ing circumstance to the Haytien gov
eminent. 1t is not apparent that the
United States has any interest In the
matter. 1t may not concur in the Ger
man view charging piracy, but it seems
perfectly obvious that there was no vio-
latlon of the Monroe doctrine. 1t ap-
pears safe to assume, therefore, that
our government will take no notice, in
an international sense, Of the incident.
Where this government is manifesting
a very earnest interest in the Haytien
trouble is in regard to the protection Of
commerce. There appears to be a de-
termination at Washington to prevent
interruption of the worlds trade in this
hemisphere, as has been shown at Pan
anna, in Venezuela and in Hayu. The
position taken by Commander McCrea
OF Machias in notifying the Hayten
insurgents that he was charged with
the protection Of foreign m as
well as that of the United States, and
that he should endeavor to prevent all
interference with this commerce, is en-
tirely proper and legitimate. In up
holding the Monroe doctrine the United
States has a duty to perform in pro-
tecting the commerce OF foreign nations
against interference and interruption on
the part of revolutionists in the eoun-
tries Of this hemisphere. This obliga-
