BRYAN's OPPORTUNITY.

In speaking the other day of the re-
cent harmony meeting in New York
under the direction of the Tilden Club.
the Hon. Thomas Taggart the leader
of the Indiana Democracy. Isaid that
| the sentiment among the Democrats
| whom he met in the East was that it
was time Democrats We're getting to-
gether. IF they can do this Mr..
Taggart went on. and they think in
the East that there is no question but
they can, under existing conditions the
Democrats have an excellent chance of
winning in 1902 and 1904. The question
of reorganization talked of in the news
papers is not discussed in the East. The
only sq,astion is Can we, and shall we,
have democratic harmony? 1t is not
a question in the minds of the East
or how if the results can be accom-
plished"
Mr. Taggart said much more in the
same line and his statement was given
TO a number of Democratic editors who
were assembled at indianapolis.
ABDUL Inc SdNiS LlIlc dfpctiiSc
in the Commoner. Mr.. Bryan's personal
organ. an article on Mr.. Taggart, the
Nebraska editor. in which he said that
that distinguished Democrat was lat the

before the unrepentant apostate from
New Jersey" ut Is well,' the Com
moner concludes, that the Democrats
of the nation learn thus early Of the kind
of politics to be expected when IN
diana's favorite son takes the helm"
Whenever Mr.. Taggart or anybody
else talks about harmonizing Mr.. Bryan
is at once aroused to indignation and
begins to throw firebrands. He does
not intend that there shall be any har-
! mony between those who were formerly
called Gold Democrats and those who
were formerly called Silver Democrats
if he can prevent it
Mr. Bryan is trying hard to pre-
vent harmony in the party and to keep
his forces in line that we have been
asking ourselves if Mr.. Bryan is not
calcula ting on another period of hard
times about 1904 The country is very
| prosperous just now, but it cannot al
| ways be prosperous, and there may be
| by 1904 another period of commercial
distress If so that would be Mr..
Bryan's opportunity, for he is pecu-
liarly, and we had almost said essential
ly, calamity candidate. If calamity
should come again and the cry of ca
larnity should become the campaign cry
of 1904, Mr.. Bryan would again be in
clover and would be the logical candi-
date of the calamity party. We do not
wish to do him an injustice, we are not
disposed TO impute bad motives, but the
suggestion is irresistible that Mr.. Bryan
is waiting for another .'calamitous'' OPP
portunity.

DANVllLE'S NEW MASONIC TEN
l.

The members Of the Masonic fraternity
in Danville had a glad time last night.
They dedicated with elaborate ceremony
the new and handsome temple just built
by Roman Eagle Lodge, No. 10, at a
cost OF $4,000. Roman Eagle is one among
the Oldest Masonic lodges in the State,
has very large membership and enjoys
the distinction of being the wealthiest
Masonic lodge in Virginia. 1t owns very
valuable property in Danvillc, and while
It's charity list is large and the lodge Is
liberal contributor to all worthy causes,
Its income from rents, dues and init!a-
ton fees exceeds Its annual outlay.
That the lodge is in this comfortable
financial condition is due TO the fore

CONGRESS ADJOURNS.

The FiXty-seventh Congress yesterday
passed the Philippine government bill
and the naval appropriation BILL, and
adjourned for tho session.
The passage of an Isthmian Canal bill
makes the session notable. and other i'm
portant measures were adopted, among
them the bill repeating the war taxes
which went into effect on the day that
the session adjourned.
But this Congress is most noted for
what it failed to do. 1t defeated the
Cuban reciprocity bill and defeated other
recommendations of President Roosevelt.
The Senators will now breathe freer,

Petrified Forest In TrIpolI.

The great desert in the forbidden
hinterland of Tripoli, northern Africa,
which has not been visited by Euro
peans for fifty years, has now been
explored by Mr.. Edward Dodson, a
Young Englishman, who went out last
March. The members of the expedi-
ton experienced much difficulty with
the authorities; at one place they were
put under arrest, and on two occa-
sions threatened by Arabs, who pre-
pared to ambush them, says the Lon
don Mail. One of the most notable
things on the journey to Murzuk was
the great petrified forest. For ten
days they travelled across an area OF
petrified trees varying in circumfer-
ence from seven feet to few inches.
Every branch Of this forest was, or
course, lying prone. and this, together
with the presence of marine Shells
showed that this part of the great Sa-
hara had at one time been submerged.
One night they were surrounded by
thunder storms No less than five dis
tinct storms were in progress all
around, and the guns and spears OF
the party became surrounded by a
halo of phosphorescent light, winch
greatly alarmed the superstitious at
tendants. who regarded this as a

AS a matter of fact, Victor Hugo hSs
a certain claim to be considered as
composer. When his "Lucrece Borgia"
was being rehearsed, the question
arose as to who should be asked to
set the drinking song to music. Mey-
erbeer and Berlioz both offered, put
the manager would not hear of either
of them, says the London Express. he
said he did not want music which
would distract the attention of the au-
dience from the play, and he told the
conductor of the theater band to write
the tune for the song. The poor man
did his best, but he could make moth
ing of it. In despair he went to Hugo.
This is the sort of thing you want"
cried the poet, and began shouting
the words of the song to a note OF
music in his voice. but he banged the
rhythm with his first upon the table
so that the musician got the swing OF
the song into his head, and very soon
dashed off a melody, which he ever
afterward called Victor Hugo's tune.
