When the late Henry NJ. Stanley last visited
Washington-I believe 1t was quite dozen years
ago-he dined evening at a house in K
street Among the guests who sat at meat with
him was a Western woman. equally famed for
the suavity of her manner and the inaccuracy of
her general information. She was delighted to
meet the distinguished gentleman. She wasn't
quite sure what he had done till a reference to
Darkest Africa gave her hint.

A HOPELEssLY DISRUPTED PARTY.

Mr.. Bryan's voice is still for war. In
an interview given down in Texas he de-
clared there was no middle ground on
which the opposing factions of the Demo-
cratic party could compromise. They can
not go together" he said You might as
we'll start two men out from the same point
in opposite directions and expect them TO
go together" Mr.. Bryan declined to say
whether he would abide by the result at ST.
Louis. but his statement regarding the i'm
possibility of the two factions of the party
getting together shows what he expects.
Mr.. Bryan's ultimatum has been known
for some time, viz.-reaffirmation of the
OF candidate who supported him in 1900.
1t is difficult to see how the reorganizers
can meet tNs demand by any amount of
phrasemaking without sacrificing their
self-respect. A negative platform of gilt
tering generalities and political maxims
like that adopted by the New York conven-.
ton will not suit Bryan. He wants an ex-
plicit reafflrmation of the Kansas City plat
form. This the convention will not make.
Mr.. Bryan also objects to Judge Parker be-
cause he is noncommittal regarding the
Kansas City platform. Judge Parker may
not be the nominee of the st. Louis conven-
ton, but whoever is will be placed on
platform that ignores dead issues. Recog-
milton of a dead issue is the main feature of
Mr. Bryan's ultimatum.
In considering the possible outcome Of the
situation IL should be remembered that the
Populst national convention, which at first
was set a few days before the ST. Louis
convention, has been postponed till few
days after, the evident purpose being to
take advantage of the action of the Demo-
cratic convention. Mr.. Bryan is more of a
Populist than he is a Democrat, and if the
Democratic convention does not go to suit
him he would undoubtedly accept the NOM
ination of the Populists. This, with the fol-
lowing he could command in the Demo-
cratic party, would make situation not
unlike that of 1900. Bryan has not nearly as
large following in the Democratic party
as he had four years ago, but with the
Hearst following he could command he
could make Democratic success impossible.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.
Training the Daughter to Think.

Scholarship IS a purpose commonly held in the
school and college for boys. Although not one
boy in a thousand will become a scholar, yet ii
is we'll that the purpose is general. If one boy
in a thousand becomes a scholar, girl In
ten thousand becomes scholar. Small is the
so infinitesimal is the chance that my daughter
will become a scholar that / have the right.
and perhaps am bound by the duty of, elimi-
mating it from my calculations. But If my daugh-
ter cannot become scholar. there is one thing
which my daughter may become. She may be-
come a thinker. 1t is much more important,
as it is more probable. For the opportunities for
the use of scholarship are few sporadic; but the
opportunities for the of the power of think
ing are constant. In no better way can pre-
pare my daughter to undertake the joys and re-
sponsibilities OF the headship of a home, either
for herself alone or for herself In combination
with others. than by making her a thinker. The
appreciation of others needs is most readily Sc
cured by thinking. Wise thoughtfulness saves,
or helps to save from selishness. Effective
economy, economic efficiency, is the result OF
discrimination. and discrimination is form of
thinking. Attention TO details is primarily an
intellectual quality. The largeness of conception
which my daughter should embody in her life
in the home represents the power of thought
Therefore I wish my daughter to think--Dr
Charles F. Thwing. in Harper's Weekly.
