Rev. John Cole walked slowly down
the aisle trying to look as he did not
feel-cheerful. On the platform stood
tall white-haired man talking to a
small woman, who wept and beat her
hands together John glanced back at
them and gave sigh of relief that
he had escaped Addie White for one

A thin, colorless man emerged from

he thought, irritably, entertained by

The best expression of the evangelist's
soullay in song. InJohn's estimation he
was no sermonizer, no exhorter. He gave
plain, wholesome talks on everyday

MISFIT GARMENTS.

The following from the New York
Evening Post (which was a pioneer in
the gold standard contest shows a
keen appreciation of uhe part which
Mr.. Bryan is taking In the Democrat
ic home coming:
"Mr. Bryan's responses to the sug-
gestions OF third Presidential nomi-
nation have been in n vein of admlra-
BILE good humor. The Times cores
pondent sends to-day from London an
interview in which he puts very clever
ly the situation as regards himself
and Mr.. Roosevelt's programme. He
didn't get all my clothes, said Mr..
Bryan, referring to the political joke
Of the day, and | doubt whether what
he did get fit him very we'll The fig
nre Is happy. Under the Presidents
coat Of popular reforms shows the
waistcoat-we were tempted to say the
strait waistcoat-of the stanchest Re-
publicanism. And to couple trousers
OF anti-monopoly and corporation
curblng pattern with high-tariif sus-
penders, designed to hold up monopo-
ly and special privilege, is nothing
less than disastrous. The Washing
ton correspondent of a good Republi-
can newspaper, the Chicago Evening
Post, wrote in all seriousness the
other day that not one Republican
Congressman In five believed in the
Presidents programme, and that
nearly every measure of Importance
this year was put through Congress
against the wishes OF It's members.
The Democratic uniform does not fit
Mr.. Roosevelt any too well, but it
hangs like gunny sack over the
shoulders OF the rest OF his party"

SPEAK OUT.

Henry +. Cochems, who Is a candi.
date for the Republican nomination
for congress in the fifth district, says
that before the primary election is
held every voter will be informed as
to his position upon every question OF
Importance. That's the right kind
OF talk. Mr.. Cochoms may be right,
or he may be wrong, on public ques-
tions; but, nevertheless, he ought to
declare himself; and SO ought all
other candidates for congress. In
fact the people ought to compel them
to speak out.

BE RIGHT, RATHER THAN
CONSISTENT,

As Is his usual custom, Mr.. Bryan
Is saying some excellent things these
days; but he betrays an element OF
weakness In striving to appear con.
sistent on the currency question. The
logic of events has established as
overlastingly right the position OF
Benton, Bayard, Tildon, Cleveland
aud Villas on the monetary question.
The historian so rehearscs it when
he writes up the people. 1t was
Thackoray who wisely admonished
"Say what you think today, In good
hard words, and tomorrow say what
tomorrow thinks again. Mr.. Bryan
is evorlastingly right on the tarin
question, and Is the most trusted
leaders OF the forces opposed to all
forms of monopoly. AS such leader
let him steadfastly face what Ia good
in the future, and let what Is bad IN
the past alone. Let him press forward
in the fight for equal rights for all
and special privileges for none.
