Mr.. Bryan's Foreign Trip.

And so. after all, Mr.. Bryan is going to
Europe. May he see all the sights and have
a good time. We may doubt the story that
he is expecting such a reception abroad as
no visiting American has enjoyed since the
days of General Grant. That is clearly
campaign lie. But his reception should be
hearty, and crowned heads and other heads
who have the pleasure of meeting him will
note a man of individuality and conse-
quence. His policies have not been adopted
and never will be. but the man himself is
fluent. aggressive sincere and in many
particulars attractive. and In taking his
measure foreigners will come to understand
his power over crowd in times of cam
paign excitement. The trip should benefit
Mr. Bryan in more ways than one 1t will
be his first look around outside of his own
country

present weight of rails and other track
equipment They claim, however, that
with this motor speed of 93 miles hour
would be entirely practicable without
smashing the road bed or seriously en-
dangering the safety of the passengers.
Putting the speed at so miles an hour, the
time between New York and Chicago would
be cut down to 10 hours. between Washing
ton and New York to hours and so min
utes and between Philadelphia and New
York to one hour. In view of the now pro-
crossing changes in the lines of the roads
running between here and New York, by
which it is estimated that the time can be
reduced by fifteen minutes or more with the
present motive power a 9O-mile speed
ought to bring the political and commercial
capitals of the country to within two and a
quarter hours of each other Were it pos
sible to speed electric train at the 1875
mile rate which has been attained on an
experimental basis in Germany Philadelphia
would be within Is minutes of New York,

A Vaudeville Campaign.

The enterprise of the ''Acorns," those en-
tortaining New York municipal reformers
who have engaged the services of a live
tiger as an electioneering device, has
stimulated the democratic geniuses until
there is a prospect that the campaign in
the big city. though brief, viii be filed with
specialties and novelties the like of which
have never before appeared in our politics.
The latest proposition is that the Tammany
people undertake to offset the undeniable
influence of the live tiger by exhibiting in
a Broadway window live elephant with
signs painted his hide. to be rubbed Off
and replaced by new ones each day. This
suggestion has impressed the leaders favor
ably, and negotiations are now on with a
circus manager for the rental of a pachy-
derm for this purpose. But some of the
sages of the Hall questioning whether
the line of political epigrams already pro-
posed will not inject too much national
politics into the campaign. 1t is intended
by the elephant man, so it is said, to cast
his signs in a vein to indicate that If
Tammany's candidate for mayor is beaten
this year there is no hope whatever for
the election of a democratic President next
year. The changes are to be rung on the
trusts. the negro question. the postal
scandals. the Schley affair and other mat
tiers of major politics. Thus far in the
campaign the Tammany people have kept
discreetly shy of breaching national issues.
and 1t will be interesting to learn what
words of wit and wisdom the patient ele-
plant will piacard to the watching world
when he takes his place as a factor in the
great bid for votes. But meanwhile the
"Acorns'' are not idle. for when they heard
OF the proposition to put an elephant on

The experiments with electric locomotives
which have recently been under way in
Germany have disclosed remarkable poss-
bulues and Will tend TO cause railroad
managers TO think seriously of the adop-
ton OF this form of propulsive power to re-
place the steam locomotive. The latter

while it may be developed to a slightly
higher efficiency than it has now reached
the day for material advancement, espe-
cially in speed. has passed. The ultimate
long-distance performance of the steam en-
CINE Is probably represented by the twenty
hour run between New York and Chicago

A cable from Manila gives the names of
certain American consuls in Asia mentioned
beneficiaries under the contract I'M
earthed by Collector of Customs Shuster in
connection with the scheme to bring in Chi
nese coolies under the guise of merchants
to the Philippine Islands, entering through
the port. The. collector has accumulated
other evidence to connect other consuls
with the alleged frauds.
THE conspirators have. 1t is said, already
issued many forged certificates assigning a
former residence in the Philippines. under
which Chinese have been admitted here
This investigation should be made
thorough as possible and everybody caught
in the net. whether in Office or out, should
be severely dealt with. Evasions of the law
under which the Chinese are kept out of
the Philippines should not be tolerated.
Their presence there in unlimited numbers
would work harm to everybody in interest
We should suffer. the Filipfnos would suf-

in danger of slaughter. The Filipinos mani

ambition fired, would more than ever resent
undesirable labor competition.
The same sort of influence that strove so

their attention. Give them good workers at

This Is the season when many parents

was when each organization had its speciaI

line of defense. each body has passed into
phase of purely social significance.
Much good-natured ridcule has been adj
dressed to the Boston organization, largely
because or the preservation of the old tradi-
lions of its origin. Nevertheless this body
OF men stands for the maintenance of high
standards of patriotism. 1t was especially
appropriate that the Boston hosts should
extend so hearty a welcome to the British
guests and during the ceremonies of re-
ception which have followed the landing of
the "Honourables" few days ago the
best spirit of international friendship has
been displayed on both sides
1t is hoped that the British visitors will
carry away from Washington pleasant
impressions. While the national capital
has not elaborated its sentiments by out

extending the hand of good fellowship. not
