CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.),
says: There are not wanting indi-
cations that the Democrats of New
York will not be able to agree upon
any citizen of that state as their
unanimous choice for the presidency.
In that event it, will be wise policy to
look elsewhere. There is no dearth of
suitable presidential timber outside the
Empire State. AS New York will un-
doubleday furnish the Republican
standard bearer. it may be point of
desirable strategy to select strong
Democratic candidate from one of the
Western states"
The Nashville American Dem.),
says: MIR. Bryan has come South to
deliver political speeches which he
calls lectures. He says he comes as
a private citizen statement which
is in accord with the decree of the
American people. He makes one thing
plain, and that is that he is not i'm IA
vor of Democratic harmony and unity
except on his terms and that there
will be a row in the convention and
in the party If he is able to create it.
We cannot undertake to foretell what
he will do, but according to his own
attitude and argument the only logical
thing for him to do is to bolt. This
we believe he will do"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem),
says: "Of course, the United States
can pursue no other course but one of
strict neutrality towards both bellig-
erents, but at the same time il would
be hypocritical to disguise the fact
that American sympathy is on the side
of Japan. both because she is COM
paratively small nation fighting
against the greatest Power in the
world, and also because she Is fighting
for the maintenance OF a policy to
which we are unalterably committed,
namely. the open door I'm the Far
East While entertaining no III will
towards Russia, Americans cannot but
hope that her effort 10 absorb the
whole OF the Far East and fence II
about for her own exploitation may
fail"

The Persistent Appendage.

Once upon a time there was a pri-
mordial cell of protoplasm that put out
a short, slender thread, which it wig
gled, and then rejoiced in a tail, says
the New York Herald. After that came

the long list of mammals, to the mon

the monkeys, "all living creatures are
troubled with tails, and the higher the
civilization the longer the tails"
Then one of his auditors insisted that
they had cousins, called men, who had
no tails. w..

fist. 60 where the men are and verify

The other monkey went, and after a
while returned.

Needed a Gentleman.

A story is told about an experience
of Mayor Mcclellan a few years ago
at a social affair in Washington, says
the New York Times. Mr.. Mcclellan
was then congressman from the
Twelfth New York district. He was
introduced to gushing young woman,
daughter of Western Democratic poll
tician. She was deeply interested in
politics, but her knowledge was not
proportioned to her zeal. She had
brother living in New York who had
ambitions for the career of a states
man, and she was bubbling over with
the young mans plans. These were
the chief topic of her conversation with
the congressman from the Twelfth.
my brothers going to run for Con-
gress," she remarked by way of in
PRODUCTION.
"Ah," said Col. Mcclellan.
yes" she continued, hes going to
run in the Twelfth district. He thinks
there ought to be a gentleman in Con-
gress from that district and horrid
Tammany man has the place now"
Col. Mcclellan did not disturb her
joy by disclosing the identity of the
"horrid Tammany man."

COST OF THE PANAMA CANAL.

There are two points in the synopsis
of Senator Clay's speech on the Pan
anna canal treaty which we published
yesterday that will arrest attention.
One is the cost of the canal and the
other is that Colombia will. in all prob
ability be given a satisfactory COM
pensation for the loss of Panama.
The impression the public has had
all along is that the cost of the canal,
including the amount paid the Panama
Canal Company and that paid for the
concessions. wouldn't exceed $200.000,-
600. Senator Clay speaks of 100000
600 or $500. 900, 900. No doubt he is well
informed in regard to the ultimate
cost. He hears the subject discussed
by those who understand what work
there is to be done and what the cost
Of it will likely be.
But if the cost of the canal is to be
S4OO, 100000 or $500. 100000 why are the
estimates of the engineers so much
below these figures? 1t seems to us
that the public ought to have the truth
as near as IL can be obtained. There
is q wide difference between 100000
600 and $500, 100000. or even $4OO GOO, 900.
The inference from what Senator
Clay says is that Colombia ought to
be compensated for the losses which
she sustained on account of the revo-
luton He says, IF Colombia has
been wronged let reparation be made.
4 10 in fuxr nf
just and fair treatment of Colombia,
so far as lies in our power"
OF course If this government is re-
sponsible for the losses which Colom-
bia sustained through the revolution
it ought to make reparation, but is it
responsible? That question must be
definitely settled before the people will
be willing that any considerable sum
of money shall be transferred from the
treasury of the United States to the
treasury of Colombia.
Senator Clay says that he cannot
bring himself to believe, in the face
of the Presidents disclaimer, that the
United States promoted the secession
of Panama. That being the case, it is
difficult to see on what grounds the
United States can be expected to pay
Colombia for her losses.
Any payment to her would seem to
be an admission that the United
States wronged her in some way. A
straight out donation to Colombia
would hardly meet the approval of the
- ~,trr
lombia, therefore, it ought to come out
of the amount that is to be paid the
new Republic of Panama.

Doctors Know a Good Thing.

Congressman John Sharp Williams
tells of man in Mississippi who is a
hypochondriac of the first order, says
the Colorado Springs Gazette. This
individuals falling is source of
never ending amusement to his fellow
townsmen. 1t was of this man that
some one humorously remarked, in an
swer to a question as to how the sick
man was getting on, that he COM
planned that he was feeling somewhat
better"
Mr.. Williams says that the hypo-
chondriac was one day telling friend
of his efforts to regain his old-time
health. He ran over the list of doctors
whom he had consulted. Whereupon
the friend remarked:
well, old man, I must say that you
appear to have lots of faith in doc
tors
Certainly have" replied the sick
man. Don't you think the doctors
would be foolish to let a good customer
like me die"

His First MOustache.
From the Denver Post.

lOlA Tie DGlNGI OSI.
In these days of great achievements
heroes are as thick as bees
Buzzing in the springtime sweetness of
the Towering locust trees,
And upon their telltale faces we can
note a look of pride
Which their sense of innate modesty is
powerless to hide.
But there's not look of triumph CLINT
ing from a hero eye
That is cleaning satisfaction tinged
with soulful pride can vie
With the self-important glances of a
fellow when they flash
Down along his nasal annex at his
first moustache.
Never was a newborn infant watched
by loving mothers eyes
With more tender apprehension than
this capillary prize
When it timidly is peeping from the
nudeness of n lip,
AS If fearful it could never hold its in
FAINT downy grip,
And the author of it's being, how re-
joicingly he stares
AT the silky down that cannot vet be
dignified as hairs,
And he wouldn't swap positions with
the bloated man of cash
AS he watches the 'accouchment Of his
ffrst moustache.
Half dozen times a minute you will
see his fingers glide
To caress the downy softness he has al
most glorified,
And he tenderly will smooth ii and will
pull II to and fro
AS II he by loving fondles would en-
courage IL to grow.
All the well-earned pride OF heroes and
of men in lofty sphere
Must get out of the procession and
bring up the struggling rear
When compared with pride that's burn
ing In fellow when the cash
In his features is upholstered with his
FIRST moustache.

The Philadelphia Press (Rep) is of
the opinion that it is time Uncle Sam
put Santo Domingo on his beat, oc-
cupled the island, expelled yellow fever

like Booker T. Washington at the task
of administration" There are two mat
tiers to be considered in connection
with this project. First, if Uncle sam
were to take possession of the island.
would the Quays and Penroses and
other Republican bosses be willing for
"a man like Booker T. Washington" to
have the job of Governor? Wouldn't
they demand the place, and all the
other places they could find or make,
for white henchmen of their own?
And, second, in the event that a black
man could get the governorship. is it

Japan is the last Asian Power of i'm
portance that is left. China Is effete
and helpless, ready to fall under the
domination of whichever Power wins
in the great duel now in progress. In
dia and Turkey have become actually
or virtually dependencies upon Euro
pean systems Should Russia prove the
victor, Japan would fall back into a
minor position and Russia would DOM
mate the vast Chinese empire and Co
rea, thus practically putting an end
to the yellow peril of the Far East.
Should Japan win, her influence would
be greatly extended and China and
corea would in all probability be DOM
mated by her. Under Japanese domi-
nation there is no telling what might
be the future of the Chinese. Japan
might be able to make them throw
off their lethargy, TO organize them
into efficient armies and thus put her
self in command of about one-third the
population of the world. The Japs are
progressive, resourceful and highly am
bilious.

JApAN'S STATEMENT OF HER PO-
SITION.

The statement which Japan has made
showing her reasons for engaging IN
a war with Russia are calculated to
create the impression that she Is in
the right, although, as matter OF
fact. Manchuria and Corea belongs to
neither of them. Russian occupation Of
Manchuria is unjustifiable. She holds
that province of China because China
is too weak to drive her out of it. And
Russia proposed to occupy portion of
Corea simply because. she wanted it
and knew that Corea was not able 10
preserve the integrity of her territory.
OF course Japan isn't fighting Rus
STA for the benefit of China or Corea.
She is simply looking out for her own
welfare. She understands that Rus
STA, if she succeeded in firmly estab-
fishing herself in Manchuria and Corea,
would be in a position to take part or
all of the japanese empire. So she de-
cided to fight while she had a chance
for her national life.
Besides Japan is overcrowded.' She

settling and trading in Manchuria. Not
only that, but she wanted it understood
that her influence in Corea was greater
than that of Russia. so that there
would be no danger of Russia getting
such a foothold there as to endanger
her national existence.
From Japans statement it viii be
quite generally agreed that she had a
good excuse for resorting to war to set
tie her differences with Russia.
OF course it was well understood that
Russia delayed giving an answer to
Japan's last note in order to gain time
in which to make better preparations
for war. She had no doubt that her
note wouldn't be satisfactory, and that
the chances were that Japan wouldn't
continue the negotiations any longer.
AS a matter of fact Russia had no in
tention of granting the demands of ia
pan, hut she held out a hope that she
would make satisfactory concessions in
order to put off hostilities until she
was prepared for them. Japan recog-
nized what Russia was doing and be-
coming satisfied that her only chance
for getting what she demanded was
by means of war, and being prepared
for it she decided to drop diplomacy
and begin hostilities.

THE BnYAN-HEARsT COMBINATION.


THE BRYAN-HEARST COMBINATION.
1t has been asserted that MIR. Bryan
and Mr.. Hearst have combined their
forces and influences for the control
of the Democratic National Conven-
ton. and this announcement hasn't
been contradicted. 1t seems that the
Bryan forces and the Hearst dele
gates will work together, the Hearst
delegates assisting Mr.. Bryan to make
the platform and the Bryan forces
helping the Hearst delegates to nomi-
nate Mr. Hearst for President.
1t has been clearly understood ever
since Mr.. Bryan returned from Europe
that it was his purpose to leave no
means untried to control the Demo-
cratic National Convention. He is de-
terrnined that the Kansas City plat
form shall be reaffirmed, not that he
thinks it's reaffirmation is of such great
Importance, but he wishes to show the
party that he is still its leader. He
believes that those who are against
the reaffirmation of that platform were
not in hearty sympathy with him in
his two campaigns, and he wants to
make them take a back seat.
The extent of his influence is Who'll
ly a matter of speculation. I'm
doubtedly in some of the Western
states he still has very considerable
following But it seems to be admit
ted that MIR. Hearst is in a position
lalapra a
when the time comes for choosing the
delegates to the National Convention.
He has an organization in about every
state, and it is doing an immense
amount of work. From all accounts
it has plenty of money, and money
will do a great deal in securing dele
gates.
There is no other candidate for the
nomination who has an organization.
Indeed, there is no one of them that
is an avowed candidate. Even Judge
Parker, who 1t is thought, will be the
choice of the New York delegation
for the nomination, hasn't minated
even to his closest friends that he de-
slres the nomination. 1t was thought
after Mr.. Carlisle spoke of him as the
choice of the Democracy for President
at the dinner at the Manhattan Club
last Saturday night he would make a
response of some sort, but he didn't.
He left New York without so much as
mentioning the fact that his name
had been connected with the nominal
ton.
Mr.. Hearst is having no opposition
in his work of getting delegates for
himself. AS soon as counties begin to
select delegates to state conven-
tions-the conventions which will
choose delegates to the Demo-
cratic National Convention the
effect of his work will be
seen. Reports that are being received
by members of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee indicate that the
Bryan Hearst strength in the National
Convention promises to be surprise
to the great majority of the leaders
of the party.
