defined opinion throughout this country
that Whitaker Wright was no worse than
half dozen-or perhaps many more
American financiers who have lent their
names to gigantic enterprises which, SEEM
ingly based upon real values, have later
proved to be composed chiefly of wind. The
bursting of several of these bubbles In
quick succession has awakened many people
who heretofore have been lulled to sleep
by the resonant tones Of the promoters
trained voice. The public is growing ac-
quafnted with the real facts in finance.
The Whitaker Wrights of this country may
not be brought to book, may not be for
mally indicted and tried. but that fact will
not prevent the growth of the popular inn
preston. and a fairly Intelligent and dis
corning impression at that, that the courts
should soon get busy with the swindlers
who sell worthless stock to the public and
then squeeze the holders dry. The severe
words of the London judge who tried
Wright. and who in denouncing him de-
clared that he could not conceive a worse
case of fraud. will awaken many echoes on
this side of the water.

Delaying the Treaty.

There appears to be no reason to believe
that the administration is dealing otherwise
than frankly with the Senate on the subject
of Panama. But can as much be said of the
minority of the Senate in its dealings with
the administration? The great cry for light
as to the new government on the isthmus
and the treaty has apparently only a po-
Htical end in view. That the administra-
ton is working for a canal is evidenced by
every step it has taken. Of course the
minority proclaims the same end. But it's
performances are all in the interests of de-
lay. Ind delay is equally the desire of the
transcontinental railroads and of the
enemies of the United States in Colombia
The Senate's rules favor delay on the
treaty, but the minority in invoking them
takes risk fraught with danger to- the
country and to the democratic party

Again in the Enemy's Country.

Mr.. Bryan said it last night to their
faces. Addressing a large audience in a
public hall in Greater New York, he scolded
the reorganizers and their methods and pur-
poses roundly. He had close attention, and
was wildly applauded. The man is not
dead by a long shot, and 1t is clearly his
purpose to make the fight of his life in the
interests of the policies for which he now
stands
Mr.. Bryan's leading inquiry was very
much to the point. Replying to the adjura-
ton to all democrats to "get together he
asked. What for? To put the trusts in con-
troll of the party? He is opposed to that
He prefers longer stay in the wilderness.
To frame a platform indefinite enough to
tickle the country at the polls, and then to
cause endless trouble for those responsible
for 1t in case of success there? He is op-
posed to that. He recalls the bitter expe-
rience his party had a few years ago as
the result of bunco game, and, for one,
he will not aid in repeating that history.
He knows what he is for, and he wants to
know what the other fellows are for.
NO auction, says Mr.. Bryan. That is
sound. and in taking that position he de-
clareS against the whole Wall street aim
and propaganda. But how does he square
himself with the Hearst movement? The
Hearst campaign has in great measure
money basis. That is to say, the fact that
the New York editor has large wealth and
spends it freely in political campaigning
explains the potentiality of the figure he
is cutting in the presidential game. The
trusts are spending their money in an effort
to put man in the White House who will
look out for their interests. Mr. Hearst, we
are told. is spending his in an effort to put
man there who will look out for the peo-
pies interests. Does Mr.. Bryan subscribe
to that explanation of the case?
1t was demonstrated last night that the
Nebraskan has lost none of his influence
over a popular audience. His hearers re-
sponded to all of his appeals, and, upon the
whole. his reception was extraordinarily
hearty. AS a stampeder he still possesses
power. He may not be able to demonstrate
it at st. Louis, for a large number of the
delegates to the national convention will be
on their guard against him. They will be
in an eloquence-proof state of feel
ing. But if the convention fiouts Mr..
Bryan and his recommendations, and drives
him into open opposition, he may make it
warm for the ticket in the campaign. His
smile-which positively won't come off-and
his honeyed words-to which there appears
to be no end-would lure many votes to
third ticket

Moral: Be Square.
From the New York Herald.

FROM tne new York Herald.
1t was when the Boer war had brought
depression in London financial circles three
years ago that Wright's doom was sealed.
One of his Australian mining companies
was Lake View Consols. a property which.
originally bought for about a thousand dol
lars. was capitalized for more than million
in shares which were made active in specula-
ton and hoisted to dizzy figures. They had
fallen to one-third of their former high
price when Wright. in December. 1900, I'M
dertook to stem the decline by purchasing
them in the market through the London
and Globe Finance Corporation. This col
lapsed under the strain. carrying down with
it the similarly juggled and overloaded af-
filiated companies and burying thirteen
stock exchange firms in the ruins Then fol-
lowed three years of misery for the culprit
investigations, exposures and wretched,
anxious delays and evasions. Stunned by
former friends and followed by the curses
of those he had ruined, until yesterday
Whitaker Wright stood condemned as a
felon and dropped dead under the sentence
Example il always more efficacious than
precept. and there are promoters and stock
jugglers on this side the Atlantic who may
profit by study of the closing years of
this eXtraOrdi. -ary career

Russia and the American Consuls

1t Is gratifying to learn that the Russian
government has formally notified the State
department that there is no truth in the
report that NJ Plancon, Russian diplomatic
agent at Port Arthur, in an interview init
mated that Russia intended to obstruct
the admission of United States consuls at
the open ports in Manchuria and the exer-
else by them of their proper functions
PARTICULARLY is it pleasant to know that
Russia does not desire that the United
States should form false impressions of
the Russian purpose. Also is it pleasant
to know that NJ. Plancon has not been so
indiscreet as to make the statement ac-
credited to him-whether he really said it
or not being subordinate to the formal Of
fetal denial The fact remains that at the
present time Russia has, she SAYS. given
no intimatfon, formally or informally. of a
purpose to hamper the American consular
work in Manchuria.
AS The Star suggested the other day.
this government can not afford for a mo-
ment to recognize the Russian sovereignty
over or the Russian possession of Manchu-
ria, as long as title to that province is
vested in China and this country main
tains treaty relations with China affecting
Manchuria- 1t would Seem to be plain that
Russia now appreciates the American dis
position in this regard and has shrewdly
sounded the situation with this denial of
the PiGncon interview. AS long as the st.
Petersburg government is aware that the
United States proposes to pursue it's own
course logically and properly recognizing
only China as the sovereign and refusing
TO recognize any suzerain. there will prob
ably be no friction over the activities of
the American consuls at the treaty ports

The Artistic Temperament.

He used to disdain what his neighbors en-
joyed
He wore a superior air:
He often averred that his mind he en-
ployed -o.
Alone on the good great and fair;
And he let his hair grow and his face wore
a look
Decidedly solemn and mystic; - .
And work he completely and calmly for
SOCK
He said that 1t wasn't artistic
This life's what we make it, philosophers
teach,
And the various ways we pursue
Depends on the status selected by each
In this world as his own point of view.
He sometimes feels lonely and dinner is
scant.
And the landlord sends bills cabalistic-
And he'd like to buy various things but he
can't
But he smiles and declares it's artistic.
