DRIFT OF OPINION.

UCol. Bryan is not booming any par
ticular democrat for the presidential
nomination. He seems to be a sort of
trustee for all the candldates.-St. Louis
GlObe-Democrat.
DThe plutocrats against whom Mr.
Bryan is now leveling his biggest ora
tOrical guns are the men who did not
vote for me in 1896 and 1900" What
other defeated presidential candidate
ever exhibited his sore head in this man
ner and what other repudiated leader
ever undertook to make loyalty to him
self test of party membership.-Chi-
cago Chronicle Dem).
ryIf it were true that the democrats
needed a missionary to inspire their
hearts and minds with higher ideals,
to lure them from idolatry of the
money devil" would Mr.. Bryan be the
logical candidate for that mission? IfMr.
Bryan, since the hour of his defeat in
1896, has not been hustling hunter for
dollars and cents, we know of no man
who has thus been employed. And his
success has been very considerable
Washington Post Und).
GEIt had been supposed by many
people that Mr. Bryan's travels might
have broadened his mind and Iessened
to some extent his prejudices and per-
verted opinions on public affairs. Such
anticipations were proved too sanguine
by his recent address on his return to
Nebraska. The older he grows the
more stubborn the democratic presi-
Dental candidate in 1896 and 1900 be-
comes in hugging his delusions.-N. Y.
Tribune.
DWhat we most of all require is a
modicum of common sense, less ora
tory and more git-up-and-git! If Mr..
Bryan could realize that he is neither
conjurer, nor a cOnScience-keeper-
that others besides himself have opin-
ions entitled to respect-that other
hearts than his beat for the lowly and
the poor-he might recover from the
disease of Bryanitis-self-love, self
confidence, Observation-Disclosures
possesses him.-Louisville Courier
Journal (Dem).
CJIf the signs of the times are 10 be
depended upon, William J. Bryan and
the principle for which he stands will
be repudiated by the democratic national
convention of this year.
Ey'It seems clear that the democrats
are not inclined to permit man who
has twice led them to defeat to dictate
what they shall do this year. The re
volt against Organism is certain to
spread between now and July, when
the convention meets. If the Ncbras-
kan has the power to check it he will
prove that he is a greater man than
people generally credit him with being.

MRS. LORENZ GOES FREE.
Judge Pritchard Directs the Jury In
the Postal Trial 10 AcquIt Her.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Before court
adjourned in the postal trial Friday
Mrs. Martha Lorenz was Il free wom-
an. Justice Pritchard, acting on Il
motion of Mr.. Kumler, decided that
there was not sufficient evidence co
hold her and directed the jury to find
~ verdict of not guilty. She simply
smiled at the announcement and was
warmly congratulated by her coun-
sci and friends.
Justice Pritchard's decision came
Immediately after all the evidence
was in. Several witnesses in rebus-
tai testified, one of whom was John
II. Tulles, the stenographcr, who took
down the questions and replies at the
time Machcn was under investigation
in Gen. Bristow's office, May 27, 1909.
The witness under searching cross
examination admitted thir he had
made a number of errors in TRAN
scribing his notes.

DUPE OF DEMOCRATS.
Another Manifestation of the Triyi.
aIity of the bursting Bryan
Intellect.

81 was put in nominal; on twice by
lington, N. j., only because it was
known that there was no chance for
my election"
This is a most remarkable utterance
1t is a public confession by Mr.. Bryan
that in both his presidential campaigns
he was a dupe-that from the begin.
ming by his own party he was betrayed
and befooled, says the Chicago Intel
Ocean.
There is some reason to believe that
with refernce to his nomination in 1906
Mr.. Bryan's opinion is partially correct
There doubtless were democratic lead
ers then who saw no way of Kidding
their party of the incubus of Organism
save by letting Mr.. Bryan run again
and be defeated.
But there is not one scintilla of evi-
dence that any such conspiracy as Mr..
Bryan charges existed in 1S90-not
even in the form of passive acquies-
cence in Mr. Bryan's aspirations, de-
structive as they were seen to be-
None who saw the Chicago convention
of 1S96-saw the wrathful, prayerful,
and even fearful energy with which
many democrats there strove to with
stand the Bryanite frenZy-can enter
tain such an idea for a moment.
Nor was this energy displayed by the
conservative democrats alone. Scores
of men in that convention were as rad
ical for free silver as Mr. Bryan Yet
they regarded the stampede to Mr.
Bryan as a treacherous desertion of
Mr.. Bland. All through the hours be-
tween Mr.. Bryan's Gross of Gold"
speech and the actual nomination these
men argued and pleaded with tears in
stand or speak, with delegates not to-
desert, "Old Silver Dick"-the man
who had worked all his life for silver
and deserved the reward of that issue'a
triumph in his party.
During his European tour Mr.. Bry-
an is said to have been fully converted
to the theory of Tolstoi, that any man
who serves his fellow men under pres
ent conditions must be martyr. This
pessimistic theory may account for
Mr.. Bryans description of himself as a
dupe. However that may be, Mr.. Bry-
ans mentality has long been known to
be trivial. His presentation of himself
as a martyr or dupe is probably. in the
light of the facts of 1896, only another
instance of his customary mental petit
ness.

Justice to the Historical Novel.

Publishers, casting up their accounts,
find that last years business was large
and profitable. Many books were print
ed and sold. 1t is asserted that there were
few failures among all the works pro-
duced-faiures, that is, from financial
standpoint. The publishers do not ven-
ture the assertion that all the books were
successful as literary productions. They
content themselves with the declaration
that the average of merit was respecta-
BILE and we may accept the statement as
just. 1t is probable, thinks the Chicago
Chronicle, that the literary output never
before presented such dead level of re-
spectacle mediocrity as characterizes it
to-day. There are few absolutely worth
less books; there are no great books.
Looking back over the literary output of
1903 only two books recall themselves
to memory as distinguished above the
rest by reason of their subject matter
or their style. Senator Hoar's "Remin-
jscences of Seventy Years" is one of the
two; Morley's Life of Gladstone" is
the other. Neither is a popular" book
and neither is likely to achieve circL-
lation equal to that enjoyed by many
pieces of contemporary fiction. 1t is
contemporary fiction, however, which
brings the contemporary literary stand
ard up to a fairly good average. 1t is
said that everybody is writing histori-
cal novels, and though the statement is;
of course, an eXaggeration it is true
enough to furnish an explanation for
the relatively good quality of the grist
of fiction. In the historical novel, that
is to say, the writer finds the main Incl
dents of his story ready made for him.
His background is, so to speak, sketched
In and he has only to supply the details.
His imagination is not heavily drawn
upon and if he possesses a respectable
knowledge of the mechanics of litera-
ture-if he knows how TO put words to-
gether grammatically and with some ap-
pearance of skill-his novel is likely to
be mildly entertaining. 1t can hardly
be absolutely stupid, for the events Of
history are not stupid. Consequently,
the historical novel, so far from being
the legitimate object of persifage, de-
serves our commendation. So long rs
novelists stick to history we shall have
no recurrence of the odoriferous AID
i1nbecile trash which passed current as
fiction a few years ago.

BAD SINKING SPELL
Senator Hanna Was Near to
Deaths Door.
Oxygen and Other Powerful StImu-
Iants Were Administered TO
Him and After Hard Work
by Doctors the Pa
tient Rallies.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Han
ma is passing through the climax of
his illness and Friday afternoon it
was feared he was dying, but last
night he rallied strongly ad there is
again some hope that he may win
the forlorn fight. The odds are much
against his recovery, but the sturdy
physique of the man, aided by oxygen
and powerful stimulants, brought
him through when he was sinking
rapidly and possibly may again. 1t
is now n question how long the eli
max of the fever will last and how
many and severe will be any further
acute attacks, for yesterdays spell
was so severe that another probably
would witness the end.
The acute attack came in the form
of a chill about o'clock and not long
afterwards Senator Hanna passed in
to unconsciousness not to return
again until around o'clock. His
pulse at this time run up to 13O and
was so feeble it was not perciptible
at the wrist. Three hours or so
later, however, he had shaken off the
attack to so great an extent that DR..
OSleT, tne bdlllulOre DllNSlcldn III dJ-
tendance, as he came from the sick
room at 9:35 o'clock said that there
had been decided improvement and
that the patients pulse was much
stronger and had fallen nearly 20
points.
Senator Hanna as the night wore
on continued at least to hold the raj
ly he had shown and at II o'clock the
doctors said that the Indications are
that the senator would have Il com
Portable night. They said that he at
that hour was resting without any
artificial aid, but oxygen in slight and
diminishing doses was being given
him at intervals of Is minutes.
The physicians say the chill from
which the senator suffered is quite
unusual in typhoid cases and has but
few precedents. 1t does not follow,
they say, that another is likely to oc-
cur and for this reason they are in
clined to hope there may not be fur
ther trouble from this source.

SECRETARY HAYS NOTE.
To the Powers in Regard to Limiting
the Scene Of HOStilities Is Not Well
Received ut st, PeterSbur0.


st. Petersburg, Feb. I2.-Secretary
Hays note to the powers has attract
ed much attention in diplomatic cir
cleS here. Any movement having for
its purpose the limiting of the scene
of hostilities is received with SYM
pathy, but in certain quarters the
practicability of the action suggested
is questioned. a prominent dipIo-
mat expressed surprise that the
preservation of Korea was not in
Guided in the note.
The wishes of the United States
have been communicated to the Rus
sian government, and presumably al
so to Japan. At the foreign Office it
is learned that no response to the
note has been made, and it is con-
sidered extremely doubtful whether
Russia feels herself in position to
make any declaration now, as these
might hamper her military opera
tions.
The question is said to be one for
the military authorities to decide and
the representations of the United
States probably will be referred to
Viceroy AleXietf.
Newspapers here do not fully un-
nerstand the purport of the note and
regard it as an attempt at mediation,
the bare suggestion of which, while
the country is smarting under the
sting of defeat, creates irritation.
The Nedomosti points out that the
United States should have initiated II
joint action fortnight ago to re-
strain Japan and that it is now too
late. Furthermore. Russia, after her
experience at Berlin. has had enough

on st. Louis Worlds Fair Loan.
Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate
will vote on the Panama canal treaty
on some day between February Is
and %. An agreement was reached in
executive session yesterday to take
action on Monday next, to decide up
on q time for voting on the treaty
and it was determined that such date
should be on or before February %.
The senate was in executive ses-
sion more than four hours and after
the agreement to vote on the treaty
had been reached nearly the entire
time was devoted to discussion of the
encroachments of the senate and the
president on each others preroga-
tives under the constitution. Sena-
tor Teller in a speech lasting more
than two hours and filed with incl
dents where he alleged the president
had encroached on the senate in re-
gard to the making of federal APP
pointments, aroused number of the
republican leaders to the defense OF
President Roosevelt. Some of the re-
publcans agreed with Senator Teller
that there have been many encroach-
ments from the White House on the
rights of the senate.
The political phases of the debate
were finally eliminated with the re-
suit that several administrations
were discussed and brought under
the ban of disapproval. The first was
the Cleveland administration in
which it was said that the president
used undue influence for the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act.
President McKinley's influence on
republican members of the senate for
the ratification of the Paris treaty
and President Roosevelt's pressure
in bringing about the ratification of
the Cuban treaty and also the infu-
ence he has brought to bear looking
to the ratification of the Panama
canal treaty were cited as instances
in which the senate has not been left
free to deal with these topics ac-
cording to individual juGgmet.
The criticism was not alone of the
executive, several senator's, including
Spooner, Allison, Teller, Dubois, Gal
linger and Platt, of Connecticut,
agreeing that the senate often had
insisted on the appointment of GER
tain men for executive positions
against the wish of the presidents
mentioned.
House-The house by vote of 172
to 103 concurred in the senate amend
ment to the urgent deficiency appro-
priation bill authorizing a loan of ST.
100000 by the government to the

amending it with respect to the man
ner in which the money shall be paid.
The house also concurred in the sem
ate amendment to the urgent de-
ficiency bill authorizing tests of Goals
and lignites at the ST. Louis fair and
non-concurred in all the other amend
ments proposed by the senate. a
number of bills were passed.

The red necktie has loomed up into
prominence again. This time it is the
New Orleans Times-Democrat that
raises it's voice in protest. The right
to wear red clothes, declares that pa
per, is not an inherent right SO far as
the male portion of the population is
concerned, and no one has objected to
the female portion arraying themselves
III such colors as may be considered to
suit their compilations. But no man
has any vested right in a complexion,
Or if he has it should be taken away
from him at once as a thing annoying
if not dangerous to the public peace.
The face that requires a red necktie to
enhance it's beauty should be at once
suppressed and the owner should be re-
quired to get another face or remain
in seclusion. The red necktie is Csn-
ira bonos mores and is an affront to
all good citizens and, being such,
should be relegated to the class of pro-
hibited articles.

WAR, FIRE AND COTTON.
Were the Adverse Factors I'm the Busi-
ness Situation This Week.

New York, Feb. 13.-R. q. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
War, fire and cotton were the adj
verse factors of the week, vet the
country stood the shocks remarkably
aging symptoms. To large degree
the outbreak of hostiIities in the
Orient and the collapse of cotton mad
been discounted, and the disastrous
loss of the contiagration was offset
very largely by the stimulus it will
give to many industries, notably
structural steel.
In restoring Baltimore there Will
be great activity in the building
trades, while large stocks of goods
must be replaced and orders filled by
jobberS and manufacturers else
where. Buyers are arriving in this
city in large numbers from all sec
tions of the country and there is a
good demand for all leading staple
lines, with notable urgency for
prompt shipment of cotton goods.
The labor situation throughout the
country is almost devoid of friction.
Actual business is still restricted in
the iron and steel industry, but there
is more confidence in the future, and
the extensive starting of plants by
the leading producer suggested that
foreign markets will be entered more
aggressively than ever before.
Failures this week in the United
States were 22S, against 230 the cor
responding week last year. Failures
in Canada number 25, against 20 last
year.

NO OPPOSITION TO HIM.
Choice of the Republican
Party.

Leading republicans whom demo-
cratic organs have alleged to be op-
posed to the denomination of President
Roosevelt have evidently concluded
that it is time to expose the lie, and
they are doing so, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. Within the republi-
can party, at Washington as well as
elsewhere, there is not only no 'op-
position" to the president, nor even
''lukewarmness," but there is actual
enthusiasm for his denomination. 1t
is freely stated not only that there is
no better man" in sight, but that there
could not well be any better man either
as candidate or president. No other
republican is seeking the nomination
and nobody has ever pretended that
any other could get it if he did seek
it. All that the democrats have ever
pretended to assert was that there was
dissatisfaction" with the president,
which, while not strong enough to pre-
vent his nomination, might, as was in
timated, induce a few disgruntled re-
publicans to vote the democratic ticket.
There is nothing in this. There new
er was anything in it. There are ele-
mentS which are opposed to the exc
cution of Statutory laws which are very
strongly opposed to President Roose-
welt because he enforces law as he finds
it. Some of these men doubtless call
themselves republicans. AS a matter
of fact they are political Ishmaelites.
who will vote for the man whom they
think least likely to interfere with evil
doers. Some of these will very likely
vote for the democratic candidate in
preference to President Roosevelt If
the democratic press likes to brag
about the accession of these malodor-
GUS recruits it is welcome to do so and
to the strength" which they can add
to the democratic cause Honest re-
publicans and honest men are for pres
ident Roosevelt, who executes the law
whatever the consequences and who is
not afraid of anybody. The man who
would rather be right than be president
is most likely to be right and president
both when the people know him as
they know President Roosevelt
Aside from the personal character of
our fearless president, influential re-
publicans recognize, as the people will
recognize, that it would be both fool
ish and dangerous to change presidents
at this particular juncture. The United
States is adjusting itself to the new in
ternational relations into which it en-
tered as the result of the events of
1898 In the Caribbean and in the far
east there are policies half worked out
with whose threads and bearings the
president is familiar as no other man
can be- Until five or six years ago we
were living on our continent in COM
parative isolation, concerned only with
oardomestic politics. Now our interests
and responsibilities have suddenly eX-
panded until we find them impinging
on those of other powerful nations in
ways wholly unfamiliar to our expert
ence and traditions. The mastery
handling of these delicate questions by
the president and preceding admins
trations has excited the admiration and
secured the respect and esteem of the
civilized world The president is need
ed to finish the work.
