Bryan's Mastery Inactivity.

1t will be recalled that the ciuo
was launched with much eclat, ana that
it's dedication was marked by what was
supposed to be a reconciliation between
Cleveland and Hill. to say nothing OF
the lesser lights of the Democratic
party in New York State. who met ana
fraternized for the first time in many
years. Distinguished Democrats from
all parts of the country attended tho
opening. spoke eIoquently OF the reunit-
ed Democracy. and Tossed off bumpers
to the health and prosperity OF every
body present and absent who laid claims
to being a Democrat. William Jennings
Bryan was not there. and he took advan-
tage Of the first opportunity 10 explain
in his .'Commoner' why he did not at
tend. He said he had not been invited.
This caused the secretary OF the cluo
to issue a statement showing that not
only one. but two invitations had oeen
sent to Mr. Bryan in registered pack
ages, receipts for which the unhappy
secretary produced. but II the invita-
items we're delivered to Mr.. Bryan Oh
flee they were devoured by the office cat.
1t is possible, OF course. that the faiiure

New Tilden Club a Failure.

Democrats returning from New fcrK
bring discouraging news concerning the
new Tilden Club, which was dedicated
to the cause of their party few mcntns
ago by no less a parsonage than Grover
Cleveland. in a speech that aroused the
country and churned up afresh the re-
sentiment in the Organized Democratic
soul to the uroffending ex-President.
Although the club rooms are magnin-
Gently fitted up, ard contain every con-
venience and comfort desired By way
faring Democrats. it is said that they
are vacant by night and by day WaA-
ers, white-aproned end eager to take

atty. and was treated as more or less
of a joke. It was only the preliminary
legal step to a lawsuit which will be
carried to the highest courts in the land
by the marquis before he is through.
and which will practically have the eff
feet of forcing the tribunals to decide
whether the recent action Of Premier
Combes ives in accordance with law. and
constitutional or not.
With regard to Boni de Castellane's
purchase last week Of the historic
Chateau de Grignan In the south OF
France. there is no doubt that he was
prompted thereto less by its picturesque
beauty than by a desire to strengthen
the impression that he is descended from
the Casteilanes who have played so
great a role in French history. and In
the annals OF the nobility of Provence.
This famous family Of Castellane, how
ever. became extinct with that Marquis
of Castellane and Count OF Grignan who
was the sou-in-law of the famous Nine.
de Seylgne.
The son-in- law OF Nine. de sevisne

most eminent genealogists of France.

Mr.. olmsted's Sad Mishap.

The Hon. Marlin Edgar olmsted, VINO
is now serving his third term in Con-
eress from Pennsylvania as the Repre-
sentative OF the Harrisburg district ana
is a candidate for fourth term, was the
victim of sad accident few days ago.
Among Mfr. Olmsted's numerous politi-
cal assets is daily newspaper at Har-
risburg. Inspired with commentators
desire to throw flood OF light upon
all public questions-and particularly
the coal strike-for the guidance Oh the
faltering footsteps Of the voters In ms
vicinage, Mr.. Olmsted indited an able
editorial for his newspaper. Instead OF
CARRYING the precious result OF MS ih-
tellectual parturition to the puohcation
office in his own hands, he intrusted It's
conveyance TO the always risky cnarse
of a messenger boy. This wing-neeieo
servitor proceeded directly to the ONCE
OF the rival newspaper, and delivering
the copy to the editor with Instructions
from Mr.. Olmsted that 1t be played up
in double leads. went on his way rejoic-
ing the possession Of clear conscience
of duty we'll done for cash considera-
ton with which to purchase gallery
ticket to the minstrel show. And thus
it happened that Mr.. Olmsted's loath-
some contemporary scooped Mr.. oim-
sted's newspaper in shedding a flood OF
light upon all pending public questions
through Mr.. Olmsted's own editorial
lens. MIR. C.msted at last accounts was
still looking for the bungling messenger
boy. with whom he fam would have
speech for a moment.
