Bryan, the Prophet.

With catchy phrase William Jennings Bryan
captured the nomination for the Presidency at
Chicago and four years later compelled his sec
ond nomination at Kansas City. In both cam.
paigns his mouth was an important factor and
with strenuous vocal effort he managed to dis
semminate his views from ocean to ocean.
Thousands watched his long-winded performance
with amazement, bat they were not convinced.
They cEeered the young man as one might cheer
champion long-dstance pedestrian or pugilst,
but his availability as candidate for the Presi-
dency did not appeal to the !ong-headed men of
his party.
Defeated a second time it was supposed the
prophet of the West would retire from public
view, but Mr.. Bryan is not of retiring nature.
He evidently suffers under the deiusion that he
is the only real thing in the Democratic party
and all others must make way for him. His
prophecies uttered with which freedom and free
quency in his former campaigns all failed of
fulfllment. Calamities which were to overtake
the nation did not come to pass and his wall of
pessmism was drowned in the hum of busy in
dustry. But Mr.. Bryan was not discouraged
His hopeful and sanguine nature rises above the
failure of his prophetic vision and once more he
prances into the open with predictions to burn.
Cleveland and Hill and German may imagine
for brief period that they are going to reconstruct
the Democracy on new lines, but the great pub
lie can already see the shadow of Organism fall
ing athwart their schemes and hear the voice of
the prophet utter his denunciations.
Bryan will either carry the party standard in
1904 or dictate who shall bear it aloft. They
can't lose him and his recent speeches have serv-
ed to chill the reviving enthusiasm ofthe Demo-
Gratis throughout the country who were hopeful
of reorganization without Bryan He insists
upon being heard and every time he opens his
mouth the gold Democrats and those who believe
that our prosperity is condition and not theory
groan in spirit. But the voice cannot be stilled.

The Report About Mr.. WI.

Mr.. WI T:ng-fang has no news confirm

with due appreciation of the services he
has rendered his country at this capital.
His grasp of western ideas is most generous
and unusual for a man of Asiatic birth and

But more important still is the post in

NOR row connected. 1t has to do with for

the Chinese government and thus facilitate

ttnns here in America. He knows the ropes
