BRYAN THROUGH FOREIGN EYES.

When MT. Bryan hits New York, if 1 he does not dumfound that mammoth 1 reception committee with his cockney- isms and his Parisian mannerisms, then the leading papers of the metropolii of two countries that have taken the | most trouble to squint at the man in their midst will be found in default in 1 their estimates. Of course the great commoner" may carefully hide such evident marks of cosmOpolitanism, but he can no more disguise the fact that he has been brOadened from a proVin- cial to a man of the world than he can rectify the error of reading his Fourth of July speech from manuscript. It was, indeed, this gigantic act of folly that made him the exposure of the London set. That the man who reels off language of a breezy type with the diction and elegance of an encyclopedia pirate would read in studied style a carefully prepared dissertation upon the spread-eagle theme of American independence convinced London that MT. Bryan was kOwtowing to the stan dards Of superior refinement that fur nished the atmosphere of his privileged environment.
 The London Globe, particularly, has kept its calm judicial gaze upon the Nebra skan,' and lately oracularly an nOunced it's decision that he is both a man and a gentleman. the former by inherent right, the latter through the assimilation of British and continental ideals So it happens that the man of the masses will come home carrying with him the Unwritten commission of the British cite to regard himself as a cOsmOpolitanized American. tempered both in manners and in view. The Globe assumes that this is what MT. Bryan went abroad to secure, that it is the thing that will furnish him with final acceptance to his countrymen. and that it constitutes another link between the crude republic of the west and the ancient and honorable orders of Flu rope.
 The Paris Temps describes the great entrancer as circling the globe in order to fill out the contour of his personality so that he will measure in magnetic girth the ample political dimensions Of the present incumbent of the White House and so be certain to outpropor- ton those of any other man in the country. According to the Paris jour nal Mr. Bryan has seduousIy sought to discount the place that MT. Roose- Welt holds in the amour prOpre of the American people through his diplo- matic achievements and other exploits in relation to the old world To ac- complish this MT. Bryan dropped down in St. Petersburg and gave to the douma the aroma of his excellence: he then reached TrOnjheim on coronation day. fitted over to England in time to spellbind the inter-parliamentary congress and struck Paris in the dull season. when more attention could be devoted to him than at any other time. These judiciOusly planned contacts. m the opinion Of the Temps have strved to give him the continental air that is admired by his fellow cOuntrymen and to initiate him with Yankee vanity"
 Undoubtedly MT. Bryan has been am plfIed in Knowledge and in observation by his world jaunt. but the European Journals that suppose he will conduct his campaign with stereopticon Iec- lures on What I Picked Up Abroad'' will find themselves at fault in their conception of the great American art Of fighting political battIe.-RaItf- more American.
