A Little Scot.
From the PAN Mall Gazette.

From the Pall Mall Gazette
If there are worse things than a little
Highlander perhaps a little Scot is one Of
them. We should have thought that a
Scottish patriot would rejoice to see the
extension of his country's pastimes into
benighted lands, but now we find Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman apparently
grudging us our golf.

ne believed II was "trip unique IN VIII
ter transatlantic travel There were
two and a half days of storm starting and
five days of glorious weather. almost
dead calm, and then the last couple OF
days very rough and very high seas.
Coming IN the bay Mr. Bryan had a
general reception. He declined to talk
specifically for publication, on the ground
that he intended 10 write Of his expert
ences and did no. desire all the impress
sions he had gained to he old before his
own writings had achieved print.
Mr.. Bryan said he visited ten capitals
and part Of Sweden He spent fourteen
hours with Cont TOlstoi. He also saw

France and Switzerland.
Switzerland is far more democratic
than the United States. Public opinion
controls there more quickly than any
where I know" he said.
Mr.. Bryan said he was going to Con-
necticut on Monday and that he hopes
10 be able 10 go TO Nebraska before
the end Of the coming week.
Asked if he favored the holding Of
the Democratic national convention in
New York. Mr.. Bryan gave an en-
phatic negative anwer. He said:
IF you people have as much money
as YOU say you have you can afford
to go into the centre Of the country.
You have been Boosting about your
wealth. and can afford to spend a lit
tie Of it. I am opposed 10 any extreme
point Of the country being taken for
the convention. Mr.. Bryan would not
say where he would like the conven-
ton, but suggested somewhere in the
centre Of the country.
Mr.. Bryan would not talk about the
platform.
He said he knew of nothing that
would be taken out of the last platform
and could not say what would be ad-
ded He refused TO discuss the Pan

know more about ii.

The government. however. is deter
