In no part of the country are leading
Democrats openly expressing an opin-
ion as to the extent of the influence
which Mr.. Bryan will have in the
Democratic National Convention in
1904. Mr.. Bryan has just concluded a
visit to New York and Washington. a
visit that was undoubtedly made for
the purpose of acquainting himself
with Democratic sentiment in respect
to presidential candidates He did not
talk freely to his newspaper friends
and what he said to prominent Demo-
Gratis was not said for publication.
1t seems to he the understanding,
however, that he stated that he was
against the nomination Of Judge
Parker. who IS now the most general
~ mentioned Democratic presidential
candidate. The reason he is against
him is said to be that he regards him
as the candidate of the plutOcrats Of
the party-the men who stand in with
the trusts. and who want the govern
ment conducted in the interest of those
who have great fortunes and vast hold
ings ir corporations. However, he does
not regard Judge Parker as the candi-
date the plutocrats intend to finally
support. He thinks he is simply put
forward to draw attention away from
their real plans and purposes.
Mr.. Bryan seems to think, at least
that is the impression that he creates,
that he will control the Democratic
National Convention, and that he will
dictate the ticket and the platform. A
day or two ago we suggested that he
might find himself mistaken. There are
signs, particularly in the South, that
he is no longer the political power he
once was. There is no doubt of course
that he will have influence in the Ma
tional Convention, but it seems a safe
prediction that he will not have the
power there that he thinks he Will
There is a growing sentiment In the
party in favor of making a platform
and nominating ticket that will COM
mand the support of both wings of the
party and it is certain that If Mr..
Bryan has his way the platform and
the ticket will suit only those
who were his warm supporters
in 1896 and 1900. Such ticket and
platform would come no nearer COM
manding a majority of the electoral
votes than did the Chicago and Kan
sas City platforms and tickets. That
is pretty we'll understood. For that
reason it is doubtful if Mr.. Bryan will
be permitted to dominate the next
rational convention.

A Western senator brought to the
Capitol yesterday a good story about
Minister Bowen. which the minister
himself recently told at a dinner, says
the Washington Post.
Il was asked some days after I ar
rived here in Washington" said Mr..
Bowen, why I had stuck so closely to
my rooms at the hotel and had not
showed myself around town.
The reply was a rather painful one,
but nevertheless fully truthful. 1t
was because l hadn't the clOthes.'
Thereupon Mr.. Bowen told how he
had been commissioned to hasten
north suddenly and without oppJrtu-
nifty to provide himself with the heav-
Ter wearing apparel necessary for res
iGerce in cold climate. AS soon as
he reached town he put a local tailor
to work upon an outfit.
The hardship of the situation was
that Mr.. Bowen had ordered some raj
ment from London, and this was COM
ing across the Atlantic in British
bottom, which was one of the very
first ships to be held up by the block
aiding fleet of the allies There was no
help for it. and Mr.. Bowen's London
clothes, such as are necessary for
proper appearance in polite society,
are still somewhere in South America.
Ele had reason, therefore, for being
personally grateful when the block
ade was raised and his clothes had an
opportunity to go forward to Caracas.

Rhetoric at Rugby.

What has been called the grand
manner Of rhetoric" was certainly Gull
tivated by the late DR.. Goulburn, once
head master of Rugby. says the New
York Post. On one occasion fight
had taken place between town and
gown and the sixth form boys should
have interviewed to keep order. But
they were conspicuously absent. In
remarking upon the fact, the head
master, who evidently intended to say
that the sixth form should have been
on the spot, actually said: Il noted
with regret the excessive prepostorial
denudation." But Rugby boys must
have found it easy to understand that
style, for they frequently had to en-
dure it from the pulpit. One preacher
in Rugby Chapel. warming to the
theme of remembering the poor, en-
Enthusiastically declared: The duty of
giving and the pleasure of receiving
are eternally related through a blessed
juxtaposition, and interpenetrate one
another with a beneficent reciprocity"
This might well go with the exhorta-
ton of another Rugby preacher: LET
your pleasantly, my younger brethren,
be as the coruscation of the summer
ghtning-lambent yet innocuous."

Very Much at Sea.

"a Rhyme of the Vastly Deep. After
a Course of Kipling)
From the Syren and Shipping.
A twin-screw brig, with AL rig, was
the good ship Bolivar,
All spick and span, from the donkey
man to the bilge on the capstans
bar;
She was pully-haul, with d ten-foot
yawl, and regular chantey
crew,
And right avast. at the mizzenmast,
the scarlet bo'sun flew.
And OH dear lad. what time I've had
collecting sailor slang,
And weaving it into the strangest
songs that ever a sailor sang:
Well, they mayn't be true, but they
seem to do, for the checks are
large and fine;
There's nothing like cheek when your
flames unique, and the pays five
dollars a line!
We had Rugged the shore for a week
or more, till on the seventh night,
From out of the gloom the thwart-ship
boom of the Deutschland doomed
in sight;
And inch by inch, as she dipped her
winch. and her fulmar flying high.
Through the sleet and mist, with a
forward list, she strove to pass
US by.
Full steam ahead" our captain said
and we heard the pennant
crack
With a twist of the heel he put the
wheel abeam on the starboard
tack;
With biige in hand, he took his stand
abaft on the taffrail hatch,
And the Bolivar, like a shooting star,
began to snore and ratch.
So away we went, with our foc'sles
bent, and our hawse-pipes smok-
ing free,
While the kentledge on the keIson
shone atop of the topmast tree:
On the poop abaft, where they force
the draught, the coaI-shoots
glmmer white,
And we spliced the guys to the cathead
ties. and made the doldrums
tight.
And never word we spoke, but heard
the bullmouthed breakers call,
While close behind the southwest wind
went yammering down the pawl;
The cardboard strake was all ashake
where the spinnaker- thrust
comes through,
And still avast, at the miZzen-mast,
the scarlet bosun flew.
And they piled each CRATE with the
best Welsh slate, till the gun
wales almost broke
You could hear them hum like a dis
tant drum as the gurry-butt
gave the stroke.
Then the ballard peak began to leak
and the engine-room grew hot,
For the bobstays damned, McAndrews
damned, and the captain slanged
the lot.
And inch by inch, while she dipped her
winch, and her fulmar flying
high,
Through the sleet and mist, with a
forward list. the Deutschland
passed us by.
But oh! dear lad. what time I've had
collecting sailor slang.
And weaving IL into the strangest
songs that ever a sailor sang;
Well, they mayn't be true. but they
seem to do. for the checks are
large and fine;
There's nothing like checks when your
flames unique, and the pays five
dollars a line!

The new issue of two-cent postage
stamps is to be retired at one. A storm
of well-based ridicule have proved too
much for the postal authorities. Some
sarcastic observer declared that after
most careful, microscopic examination,
he was prepared to assert and maintain
that the portrait on the stamp was
really that of Mr.. Dolly and not that OF
Washington. The newspaper para
graphers quickly caught up the sugges-
ton and the issue has been designated
as the "Dooley stamp" name by
which it will probably be known hence
forth. Retiring the issue win make a
good market for stamp dealers, who
win shortly be advertising "Dooley
stamps at a premium.

Within a. week or two, now, we shall
have reports of the annual spring
floods. Recently there have been ex-
ceptionally heavy falls of snow in the
mountain regions, especially in the
Middle West. When the thaw comes,
and it will not be long delayed, there
will follow a rush of water to the riv-
ers and a flooding of the adjoining
country. All the conditions indicate
very heavy floods this spring.

1t now seems probable that two Amer
lean Artic expeditions will start this
spring in efforts to reach the North
pole. One is being fitted out by Mr.
William Zeigler, who backed Baldwin's
expedition, and the other by the Peary
Arctic Club. The Zeigler party is fit
ting out the whaling vessel America.
and it is understood that the Peary
party is trying to buy the ship used by
the Duke of Abruzzi in his great dash
north. 1t seems rather to be regret
ted that these two parties do not come
together and combine into a single ex-
petition One very strong expedition
could no doubt accomplish more than
two weaker ones.

fact the advance in the price has been
about so a bale since that time.
1t seems to be admitted that there
has been a short crop in India and 1t
is calculated that the American crop
for 19O2-1903 will not go above 100000
bales. The thing for cotton farmers
to keep in mind, however, is not TO
proceed upon the idea that the price of
cotton will remain high, however great
the increase in the supply may be. No
doubt there will be some increase IN
the cotton acreage this year, but the
effort should be to restrict the acre
age to about what it was the past sea
son. If there is to be any increase in
the supply let it be by better methods
of cultivation rather than by an acre
age increase.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-(Special. )-This has been comparatively a peaceful week With MT. Roosevelt Last week there were the air and purpose and bustle or politics about the White House. This week began with a reception to some Of the most prominent Masons in the world, neaded by the chief of them all, Hon: James D. Richardson of Tennessee. Next c3me a reception to another very distin- guished body of gentlemen from the Pan American Conference of Episcopal Bish- ops or the Western Hemisphere. These two amiable Companies of guests were in great contrast to last weeks continual procession of Maryland Republican poli- ticians-liy-whites and black-and-tan posses and rounders. It was no peace-be- to-you- brother talk that MT. Roosevelt gave the motley visitation of maryland CTS. They were vigorously told to go lortn and win the crown of RoOseveltism or else stay outside with the cranks.
 There was a time when MT. Roosevelt regarded 1t as impossible for a man to hold Federal office deservedly who sought to influence an election. When ne was civil service commissioner here In Washington. he made life burden for every Republican and Democrat in office who manifested the slightest partisan zeal. At that time there was number or organizations made up of voters in the government service from the several States. Commissioner Roosevelt objected even to these people going home to vote so persistent was he that he called upon caplnet officers and sought their aid in quenching all political ardor and sup pressing all evidence of party utilization In the departments. The vice-president of the Massachusetts Republican Associa- ton began an interview in The Washing ton Post at the time with the exclama- tion What an ass that man can be.' Subsequent dealings with the situation would seem to indicate that MT. Roose- Welt has expanded some since he became Presfdent and sought his own election.
 The foregoing reflections properly be- long to the White House events of last week. although they still have a pertinent bearing upon the fitness of things. of actively availing themselves
 Last week MT. Roosevelt was red-hot politician. This week he has been Sunday he addressed the most distinguish ed assemblage of leaders of Christian thought ever gathered at the national capital He set out to speak from three different Scripture texts. but did not long stick to either. branching off in his char acteristic way and harpng upon his hard ridden, raw-back hobby of "decency.' He implored the august bishops to ''be de- cent" It Is an even chance that if the most glorious company of apostles that were ever cannonized were to have to be talked to by Mir Roosevelt, he would be- seech them to "be decent" Whether MT. Roosevelt-s address to the bishops had a salutary and timely effect may not clear ly appear. but 1t is at least certain that none of them has been arrested for in- decency since MT. Roosevelt spoke to them about 'decency."
