BRYAN'S RECEPTION.

In scope, significance and in enthusiasm the
reception given William Jennings Bryan at Madi-
son Square Garden, New York last night exceeded
any ever previously accorded a private citizen
Much OF the interest attaching to this function had
TO do naturally, with the speech Mr.. Bryan de
livered
There is no question an Importance largely
fcticious had been given his expected utterances,
chiefly because Mr.. Bryan was endorsed as presi-
dental candidate by Democratic conventions in
several states but those who expected he would
place himself in the attitude of such a candidate
by his New York address were mistaken.
In substance, temper and tone his remarks were
unexceptiona indeed, admirable He did not at
tempt TO formulate any platform for the
Democrats OF the country. Indeed he carefully =
avoided even suspicion of desiring to be a party
dictator.
He considered public questions of the most
vital importance to the American people, but it
was as the philosopher and practical man of affairs
rather than politician he spoke.
Nor did he indulge in any flights of oratory, He
confined himself TO presenting common truths in
common sense and convincing way In his words
there were insight and practical wisdom, well
as the philosophy that comes from experience.
1t a man OF the people that he spoke
TO the people, and to them he gave the results Of
his keen, shrewd and able observations. There is
food for thought in the Bryan address, not only for
those who are weM disposed toward him presi-
dental possibility, but by those who have hereto
fore regarded him a candidate holding doubtful
theories and advocating questionable economic
policies.

BALFOUR'S BOOMERANG.

II is a truly comic situation which has
been produced by one judgment OF the
court of appeal on the education act OF
1902 The authors OF that measure un-
doubtedly intended that the local educa-
tion authorities should be compelled to
pay for the religious teaching I'm the nom
provided dhat is. the old voluntary
schools. Everybody, Liberals and Con-
servatives. churchmen and dissenters, as
sumed that the act did what it was in
tended 20 do All the local authorities
have administered the act under that inn
pression-with the Notable exception OF
the county council OF West Riding Of
Yorkshire.
Passive resisters had their household
goods distrained upon or went To prison
rather than submit 10 the supposed law.
IL was one OF the chief questions before
the country at the general election. The
house of commons has since devoted most
OF it's time to the consideration Of bill
having for one of its principal objects the
relief OF the rates from any liability Tor
denomnational instruction.
And now II appears that everybody was
wrong-everybody with the exception Of
not make It obligatory upon local author
tiles 10 pay for denominational teaching
I'm non-provided schools and though the
point did not come before the court or
appeal IL seems at least doubtful whether
they have any power whatever 10 make
such payments How has this monumen-
tai miscarriage OF the legislative scheme
come about? I think the Westminster
Gazette has hit the right nail on the
head
II Is vet another case in which Mr.. Bal
four has been rather too clever. His great
idea was TO harp on the pretence-it was
nothing more-that the bill secured puo-
lIc control OF the voluntary schools. A
nlain statement that IL saddled the rate
pavers with the cost Of religious teach
ing I'm those schools. but denied them-as
the act does-any control over such teach
ing would have given away the show.
Mr. Palfour therefore preferred 20 at
tempt to accomplish his object In a less
straightforward way, and the result has
been this humiliating and iSnominous
fiasco.
The Judgment OF the court OF appeal
should certainly have a Christening enect
on the opponents OF Mr. Birrells bill. II
10 ridiculous however 10 talk as II the
need for the bill had disappeared and the
ed,cation controversy could be settled on
the basis OF the managers Of non-proVid-
cd schools undertaking 10 pay for the re-
ligious instruction. There still remain 10
be dealt with such important questions as
tbe abolition Of all religious tests for
toochors and the establishment of fun
nublir control over the management OF all
rate supported schoos--London Truth.

GERMAN DESIGNS
ON HOLLAND.

II Germany should succeed by means OF
the Emden canal and perhaps by the ad-
ditional pressure OF hostile tariffs in inn
poverishing Holland, Holland may feel
impelled 10 throw herself into Ger
many's arms 10 escape national bank
ruptcy.
But II Germany should not succeed in
drawing her trade away from Holland
Germany may feel tempted 10 create some
dispute with her Dutch neighbors in or
der 10 acquire Holland in a more direct
manner.
1t is true that in "a hours the northwest
corner OF Holland with Amsterdam, Rot
terdam and The Hague may be converted
into an impregnable island fortress, but
the Dutch may not be given the time
necessary for flooding their country Only
80 miles separate Mulden. where the most
important sluices for putting the country
around Utrecht under water are situated,
from the German frontier. and German
military motor cars travel at an astonish-
ing speed.
Besides, IL seems not at all certain that
Holland would vigorously resist an eHS'-
getic attack. In 1857 a small Prussian
force overran Holland and took Amster-
dam almost without bloodshed. In that
year the dikes were pierced and Amster-
dam seemed 10 be impregnable, but
weak spot I'm the water defences enabled
the Prussians TO get through. After all,
the intensity OF resistance depends not
so much upon the defences as upon the
defenders, and the little Dutch army is
an unknown factor
Therefore, n German general OF daring
might feel tempted TO recommend TO his
sovereign 10 take Holland by a rush; and
In view OF the preparedness OF the Ger
man army such a rush would very likely
prove successful. Nineteenth Century.

The Drift of Things
AS Others See Them
INSTANCE.

Alongside the case of William ]. Riley,
porter, who got tired moving his feet, q"
we desire to place another hot weather
incident at least equally eloquent, which
has, somehow, escaped notice in any news
columns. 1t happened upon a steamboat,
not a thousand miles from Manhattan is
land. that the dense crowd OF men, wo-
men and children congregated as usual
upon the open upper deck was stampeded
by a shower
a woman among them who had snatch
ed up folding deck chair along with a
child sleeping peacefully upon that dia-
bolical device was caught by the rush In
a narrow cabin door. Shut In the chair
as i'm a nutcracker upon the handles or
which the full weight OF the crowd began
TO press, the unlucky infant was being
literally pinched TO death in spite of the
Mortified mothers pleadings. The mass
OF human beings behind paid no attention.
Suddenly little old gentleman OF griz-
zled and soldier-like aspect, who had
been thrust close TO the door. braced HIM
self against the frame work and barred
the way
The crowd fleeing from the rain-it was
not much OF n rain-was vociferousy IN

wet?" shrieked large men in tweeds and
Amazonian figures Of women in peek-a-
boo shirt waists-all pushing frantically.

snapped the little old gentleman. The
crowd surged on. The old gentleman
was like the rock OF Gibraltar for firm
ness, but he was near being borne down
when a tall young man, perceiving the
work OF mercy upon which his elder was
engaged. shouldered his way 10 the res
