MIR. BRYAN's PREDICTION.

The tone of Mr.. Bryan's articles in
his paper, The Commoner, justifies the
belief that he is afraid that his influ-
ence is on the wane, and that in the
next national convention of the Demo-
cratic party he will be a back num-
Der. In an article in its current num-
Der he predicts that If those who SYM
pathise with the views of Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Hill get the upper hand
in the management of the party De-
mocracy will suffer an overwhelming
defeat at the next national election.
In the course of his article he says:
Even the election of 1885, disastrous
as it was, was only feeble illustration
of what may be expected if the party
comes again under the leadership of
those who were recreant in recent cam
paigns What will be the re-
suit if the men who were loyal in 1895
and 1900 are asked to rally under the
standard of those whom they distrust
and are required to surrender a deep
conviction and condemn their own
votes? If the party, although it polled
a million more votes, could not win
when 10 per cent. of the members of
the party were dissatisfied how can it
hope to win when 80 per cent. of the
members are dissatisfied?"
Mr.. Bryan is assuming a great deal
when he assumes that if certain issues
which were prominent in the Demo-
cratic platform in 1896 and 1900 should
be abandoned in the next national plat
form 80 per cent. of the members of
the party would be dissatisfied. In the
first place, it would be impossible for
Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Hill or those who
are in harmony with them to lead the
party or to get their views in the plat
form if 80 per cent. of the members
of the party were opposed to them and
their views. They will lead and their
views will prevail only in the event
that the great majority are in SYM
pathy with them.
Mr.. Bryan, instead of trying to read
| those who were not in hearty sympa-
| thy with him in 1896 and 1900 out of
the party, ought to be trying to find
some common ground on which all
Democrats could stand. 1t really looks
as If he would rather see Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Hill and all Democrats who
are in touch with them kept in the
| background than to see the party sue
ccssful. He must realize that the sill
yer issue is practically a dead one.
There cannot be even per cent. of the
party that insists upon keeping that
issue at the front. and yet, if we I'M
derstand Mr.. Bryan, he wants the
party to announce that as one of it's
issues in the next national campaign.
His reason is probably that he came
into prominence as its advocate.
If he has read the resolutions adopted
| this year by Democratic state conven-
tions nc cannot have helped noticing
that the Kansas City platform was for
| gotten oftener than 1t was noticed.
That ought to convince him that if he
is anxious for Democratic success next
| fall, and in 1904 the wiser plan for
him to pursue is to assist Democrats
| in getting together rather than to call
| attention to matters calculated to keep
| them apart.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says: IF
the Japanese government purposes to
investigate the business of tea grow
ing in South Carolina with view to
rivalry in the enterprise, 1t will please
do so quietly as possible. Tea growing
in South Carolina is an infant industry.
and if it should discover that it needs
protection from Japanese competitors,
the consequences might be disastrous
to the American free breakfast table"
The New York Journal of Commerce
Qnd.) says: I'VE have only to make
duties on cuban products low enough
tc permit the island to live and pros
per and buy goods of us to accomplish
all that the island needs and to assure
its future. That would still leave our
sugar and tobacco interests with the
protection they say they need, and 1t
would keep our domestic politics free
from such a disorganizing and demon
alizing element as an island with in
terests, tastes and habits wholly dis
tinct from our own. The beet sugar
and the tobacco interests will bring
down free trade upon their own heads,
and introduce the most vicious in
1luences into our elections, if they do
not reverse their policy and urge Con-
gress to grant a liberal measure of re-
ciprocity to Cuba"
The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: Apparently the Democrats of
Texas share the desire which is so
strongly felt in the Middle West to get
away from Organism, but are not quite
ready to turn their backs upon it, as
their brethren in Indiana and Illinois
recently did. The party convention in
the Lone Star State met at Galveston
yesterday, and adopted a series of reso-
lutions which affirm faith in the prin-
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
PLATFORM" but do not mention specific
ally either Mr.. Bryan or the free-silver
plank which he insisted should be car
ried over to that platform from the
Chicago deliverance of 1896. This may
be considered a waiting attitude, from
which the party in 1904 can either re-
cede to further support of Organism.
or advance to an alliance with Demo-
Gratis of the Indiana school, who pro-
pose TO fight for harmony by knocking
out Organism in an open contest, If
there is no other way of getting rid of
it. This attitude doubtless represents
pretty correctly the prevailing senti-
nient at the present time
among Democrats in the South
west on the vital question of
party reorganization. Similar action by
the North Carolina Democratic Con-
Nention indicates the same condition
of feeling in the South Atlantic states"

A Costly Dog.

The other day, says a writer in
Harper's, my wife and I made the
pretext of an errand the excuse for
sailing on the blue waters of Shana-
shank Bay, and engaged old Capt.
Little at the customary price of so
cents an hour to take us across to a
village on the opposite shore. With
the captain always went his dog Tas-
So as indispensable companion, rath-
er than as necessary crew. Arrived
at the village, the errand was prompt
ly done and we were ready to depart,
but the dog could not beefound. We
called and whistled, and sought him
high and low, until at last at the end
of a good half hour he strolled onto
the dock calm and unruff1ed, and with
out the suspicion of malevolence in
eye or action. The sail was there
upon resumed, and the captain, who
is a good skipper, after laboriously
pushing us off a sandbar on which he
had inadvertently grounded, finally
drew up at the wharf at the end of
three hours from the time of depart
ure. well, captain" we said, you
have given us a good sail. How much
is it?" WAL" said the captain, It'll
be $3.50. We've been gone jest three
hours. You see," he continued, sit
took us half an hour to look up that

Harry Furniss tells of testy but
popular Scotch lecturer who, on tour
of the Lowlands, met with chair
man so impressed with the Importance
of his office that. in introducing the
visitor, he actually talked to the audi
ence for an hour, says the Philadel-
phia Times. The gathering, a large
one, bore it all patiently. This was
the chairman's peroration:
ut is unnecessary for me to say
more; so 1 call upon the distinguished
gentleman who has come so far TO
give us his address tonight"
The gentleman who had come so
far arose, stepped forward, bowed.
pulled out and looked at his watch,
and then said:

ter will find me there. Good night"

pose.

SALARY AND RESPONSIBILITY.

Last March Harry G. Bell, receiving
teller of the Riverside Bank, New
York city, fed, leaving a shortage of
$4,000 in his accounts. Later he was
apprehended, and last week he was
tried and convicted of larceny. Bell is
described as chubby youth of Pa"
He will go to prison. His prospects
are blasted.
There are several morals to be drawn
have been often pointed out and dweIt
upon in similar cases. 1t seems, how
ever, that there is one point in Bells
case that is especially worthy OF at
tention. The Sun says that the bank
with which he was connected did a
big business" 1t must have had con-
siderable patronage. otherwise Bell
could not have got away with the pref
ty considerable sum of $4,000 before be-
ing found out. Yet. Notwithstanding
the responsibility of his position as re-
ceiving teller and the amount of money
he handled, it seems that Bell received
a salary of only $1S per week. And it
appears further that the cashier of the
institution at the time of Bells defal-
cation was another very young man"
whose compensation was 500 per week.
Presumably the other employees of the
concern were paid on about the same
scale.
1t may be said that If man is hon
est, he will be honest anyway. no mat
ter what his salary, and that if he is
a thief he will steal no matter now
large his pay. But that is fallacious

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky
poured out glass of ice water and
drank it with evident satisfaction, says
the. Washington Post. "There isn't
anything quite so good as water, after
ALL" quoth Blackburn, (which, by the
way" he added, reminds me of a
story"
Down in Kentucky" began Mr..
Blackburn, there was a farmer, who,
strange to say, did not know the taste
of whisky. One day, at Christmas
time, he was at neighbours house and
was invited to sample a mixture of
cream, lemon, sugar and other in
gradients, commonly known as egg
nog. He slipped, then drank, then
drained several mugs. When he start
ed to go home he felt curious. It's an
insidious drink, you know, and when
he reached home he went to bed. The
next morning he awoke with an awful
thirst. Breaking the thin covering of
ice on the water bucket out on the
porch, he took one long drink.
Mandy, Mandy. come here and
bring the children" he shouted. I
never tasted such water in my life.'"

stnrie. nf Kitehener.

The English papers are full of sto-
ries about Kitchener. One of them tells
how Gen. Delarey described one of his
interviews with Lord Kitchener, in
which he made an earnest endeavor to
obtain an armistice during the prog
ress of the negotiations. II told him.,
said Delarey. that 1 considered it ex-
tremely unfair for his columns to gall
lop about the country after my com
mandoes. while l was here to discuss
the possibility of a peaceful under
standing with your people. My men
were deprived Of their leader, and plac-
ed at an unfair disadvantage. 1t was
no good, though" continued the Boer
general. Kitchener turned to me and
replied. Gen. Delarey, l am not aware
that any one asked you to come in.
You can go out again tomorrow, if
you like" Christian De Wet seemed
thoroughly to enjoy describing how he
tackled the man of Khartoum over
the continuance of our occupation OF
the country with a large military force,
which, he protested would be an UNI
desirable charge on the resources or
the country and a handicap to its
speedy development II told him,
said De Wet, that I must stipulate
for the withdrawal of the whole of
your army at the earliest possible date
after the signature of peace" Kitch-

"Ah, you are to join Plumer."
The stranger then began to talk of

NIITCHELL'S ADVICE.

Mr.. Mitchell, the president of the
United Mine Workers, gave very good
advice to the convention of miners at
Indianapolis. He advised against a
strike of the soft coal miners, but pro-
posed instead that they be assessed to
assist the anthracite miners in con-
tinuing their strike.
A strike of the bituminous coal min
ers would have embarrassed the indus
tries of the country, but i would not
have been impossible, in all probable
ity, in the event of a strike, to get suf-
ficient soft coal to supply the demands
of the factories and the transportation
companies. 1t Is much easier to mine
bituminous coal than anthracite coal.
should strike they would violate con-
tracts which they have with the coal
operators. That in itself would turn
public sympathy against the strikers.
There is no doubt that the wiser plan
was adopted, The anthracite miners
can hold out a long time yet, especial
ly If they get the help they are expect
lhS AIOiAA tliC wal =
and from other sources. 1t is said to
be probable that one of the largest of
the coal railroads, if not the largest,
is seriously considering the advisable
ity of passing it's semi-annual dividend.
1t is evident, therefore, that the strik-
ing miners are not the only sufferers
by the strike. If it becomes a ques-
ton of endurance the miners may dis
close staying powers that will sur
prise the coal operators and coal rail-
roads.

In New York church the other day
at the offertory solo was whistled by
girl of twenty years. The audience
was so well pleased, it is said, that an
encore was demanded, and after the
services the whistling girl rendered
The Mocking Bird" to the great
pleasure of the assembled people. Aft
er the whistling girl, will there come
the growing hen as an attraction to
the house of worship? Must there be
a variety show at the church to get
the people to come out? OF late years,
as matter of fact there have been
seen in pulpits certain things that were
very like vaudeville turns-verbal
gymnastics and pyrotechnics, and some
ground and lofty tumbling. If theat-
rical novelties are found necessary, it
must be because the occupants of the
pulpits are wanting in the eloquence
and fire that made the preachers of
former days so powerful in their COM
munities. Good music, of course, o.
desirable in church, but it seems that
the musical novelty is altogether out
of place there. From the whistled solo
1t is not great step to the solo on
sleighbells or on goblets.
