A SURPRISE FOR BRYAN.

The Democratic National Convention
is full of surprises for Mr.. Bryan. He
can hardly realize that it is the con-
vention of the party that twice nomi-
mated him for President.
Weeks ago he announced that he was
going to publish his paper, The Com
moner. daily, in st. Lotus, during the
sessions of the convention. If the pa
per is being published there the fact is
not mentioned in the dispatches. II
is doubtful IL it would be in demand
if it were published. Mr.. Bryan him
self isn't in demand. He is being neg
lected.
When he entered the convention hall
yesterday not delegate nor a visitor
greeted him with a cheer, and yet he
had been the party's leader for eight
years. He must have realized that his
influence and power were things of the
past, and that he was politically dead.
20 For months he has been trying to
play the part of dictator of his party,
and has been telling Democrats what
they should and should not do. He has
attacked with more or less bitterness
every conservative Democrat of promi-
nence. His harshest epithets have
been hurled at Mr. Cleveland, and yet
when Mr. Williams, the temporary
chairman of the convention. mentioned
Mr.. Cleveland's name in his speech yes
terday, there was an outburst of APP
plause which lasted eight minutes. Mr.
Bryan had tried to destroy Mr.. Cleve-
land. He helped to make him more
popular. He succeeded only in de-
stroying his own popularity.
Evidently, Mr.. Bryan is not a good
judge of public sentiment If he were.
he would have remained away from
the convention-from ST. Louis. He
wouldn't have faced the humiliation he
has to endure. He thought he was
going to dominate the convention as
he dominated the conventions of 1896
and 1900 If he had less vanity and
more wisdom he would have known
better.
He has been neglected. practically
ignored, ever since his arrival in st.
Louis. 1t is recognized that he is
without power and influence, and,
hence he is no longer an object Of in
terest or curiosity. Delegates do not
flock to his noon. and when he appears
in the lobby of his hotel nobody seems
anxious to get look at him. He has
ceased to be a parsonage. He is of no
more consequence than hundreds of
other delegates of the convention. not
of as much as scores of them.
When he went before the National
Committee in the Illinois contest he
was shown no more consideration than
other attorneys of contesting delega-
tions, and when he asked Col. Guffey.
the chairman of the Pennsylvania dele
cation, to cast the vote of that delega-
ton for Pattison. so as to make
showing of opposition to Judge Par
ker, he was treated with scant cour-
tesy.
Mr.. Bryan's mistake was in thinking
he owned the Democratic party. The
two nominations he secured turned his
head, and he thought himself a bigger
man than he was. He is young man
yet, but he has no political future UNI
less he abandons the ideas his party
has repudiated, admits his mistake and
gets into the band wagon along with
the other leaders.

An order for 10000 horses for the
Japanese army is said to have been
placed in this country. Ordinarily
large horses are wanted for cavalry
purposes, but the japanese order is an
exception to the rule. Small horses are
asked for, and no others viii be ac-
copied. The Japanese probably calcu-
late that, as they are small people,
large horses are unnecessary, and that
they might prove difficult to mount
and dismount; besides. small horses
eat less than large ones and are less in
demand in the ordinary markets, hence
ought to cost less. The Japanese, 1t is
said, will not use mules in their army.

The Springfield Republican, COM
menting on the failure of the negro
cotton mill at Concord, N. c., says:
Nothing whatever seems to be in
dicated by this event respecting negro
business capacity. W. c. Coleman
built u0 the mill and he died before
the enterprise had been fairly estab-
lished and trained successors had been
created" 1t appears from a recent
report of the receivers that the mill
had been in operation for nearly ten
years. In settling up the estate of
Coleman, who died a few weeks ago.
1t was ascertained that the mill had
peen run at loss from the first day
OF its operation. The prices obtained
by the mill for it's products were the
same as those received by other mills
making the same classes of goods, but
the operating expenses consumed more
than the profits, and Coleman's private
fortune all went to keep the wheels
turning. This" it is said, was due to
the lnefhciency of the laborers, who
never became first-class workmen,
even after years of experience in the
mill" The plant is hereafter to be
operated with white labor.

Russia has shown that she knows
how to bust" a trust in short order.
There was an attempt to form meat
trust and put up the price of meats
10 the army and other consumers. The
trust had progressed to the point that
all of the meat supply in the Chita re-
gion had been cornered before the au-
thorlties found out what was going on.
But when the situation became known
the head of the trust was arrested and
sent to the penal colonies to be held
until the close of the war. and the
trusts meats were seized and sold at
auction. This Russian trust, by the
way, exhibited just about as much
patriotism as is shown by some of our
own trusts.

Can wilder. more exciting race be
imagined that that between the rail-

in our dispatches yesterday? And
what an amount of nerve and quick
thinking was required of the engineer!
1t is true that he lost. His train was
blown from the track and wrecked, and
one man was killed and several injur-
ed; yet il is to be recalled to the credit
Of the engineer that he made a plucky
contest and lost only after every
human means to avoid the accident
had been made the most of. He had
an cratic terrible contestant to go
against, and il got the best of him be-
cause he could not foretell what it
was going to do. The race of the train
