BRYAN and Peace.

Mr.. Bryan, who is now lecturlng in Cali
fornia, will visit New England in April and
confer with his political friends in that
quarter. From there he will go to The
Hague and talk peace for all mankind.
This is a good arrangement. He will learn
of many of the horrors of war after meet
ing George Fred Williams, who is in battle
array against the trusts and the Hearst
outfit But before asking the outside world
to disarm should not Mr.. Bryan induce Mr.
Williams to disarm? Dsarming, like char
ity, should begin at home. How can Mr.
Bryan consistently denounce batteships of
the Dreadnought pattern and guns of the
thirteen-inch size abroad when he knows
that Mr.. Williams armed with thirteen
inch tongue is raking the Hearstites in
New England fore and aft in his behalf?

Soft Weather and Sickness.

This mild January weather is popularity
believed to be unwholesome, and much Of
the prevalent illness Is ascribed to it. Over
in Baltimore an unusual outbreak of grip
is causing widespread distress, one esti-
mate placing the number of sufferers from
this ailment at 100000. This Is probably
an exaggeration. Doubtless a great many
ordinary colds are classed as grip by
the patients themselves. and possibly some
of the medical men are willing to have
the ailment so regarded. Just why soft
weather is conducive to grip or colds in
mystery That these Affections are due
to a bacterial infection is now the estab-
llshed belief. 1t remains for science to
discover what influence the mild tempera-
ature has upon either the susceptibility of
the individual or the activity of the germ
to cause a sudden rise in the morbidity
rate from this cause coincidental with
midwinter thaws. One theory Is that the
atmospheric midness leads people to ex-
pose themselves and take risks, TO sit in
drafts and go out OF doors without wraps
1t is believed that the bacterial influence

The Artillery Bill.

Great good was accomplished for the eff
flCienCy of the American army by the re-
organization which followed the war with
Spain. Methods which that campaign
proved to be inefficient and obsolete were
discarded and the various corps were in
the main placed upon far more practi-
cable and scientific basis than had ever be-
fore been gained But in the readjustments
some mistakes were made. They were in
evl,able in so sweeping an enterprise Since
the enactments which effected these
changes some amendments have been Sc
cured which have gone far toward estab-
fishing a perfect balance between all the
parts Of the great military machine. One
such correction is now being urged in be-
half of the artillery corps. BY the act of
February . 1901, the Re simental organiza-
tion OF that branch OF the service was abol-
ished ard il was organized into a corps of
40 companies OF coast artillery and thirty
batteries OF field artillery, with maximum
enlisted strength Of 1890. This measure
placed the artillery upon a much higher
plane of efficiency than would have been
possible under the old formation, but the
experience of six years has proved that
more is TO be done If the American artil-
lery service. especially that devoted to coast

There amt a chance of gettin' him placed

He's al right on diplomacy, a wonder at

And in finance as bright as any man you

But there are certain drawbacks that will
keep him from a place
Which his talents make him eminently
qualified to grace.
There are two reasons why the nation suf-
fers such loss
He never playe lawn tennis an he doesn't

OF course there's other arguments that hurt
his chances some,
But most Of these reckon could be some

He amt military man, although he thinks
it's right
To stick up fur your country, even if you We

But he lacks the modern spirit, an he

Fur huntin' or fur fishin', an he never shot

But the principal objections that I've so
far run across
Are these-he can't play tennis an he

The Change in Persia.

There is no present reason to look Tor
change of conditions in Persia, as the re-
suit of the death of Shah Muzaffer-ed-Din
and the succession OF his son, Mohammed-
Ali-Mirza. Prior to the shah's death Per-
STA had been placed upon the basis of a
constitutional government and the heir ap-
parent had signified his approval of the
reforms. In December, it is true, he fell
somewhat under the suspicion of the pro-
gressiye party by proposing change which
would render the senate of the new par
liamcntary body under crown influence. He
Indignantly denied, however. that he was
reactionary, and in the subsequent adjust
ment of differences agreed TO a compromise
which appears to prevent the dominance Of
the legislature by the crown. The senate is
to consist of sixty members, thirty being
elected and thirty appointed by the crown.
The assembly is to have control of all finan-
cial matters, including local and foreign
loans commercial treaties and the formation
Of companies at home abroad for the
construction of railroads and other public
works Matters pertaining to the admin
istratlon may merely be debated by the as
sembly, without vote. The lower house
cannot be dissolved without the consent of
the ministers and two-thirds of the senate.
With these legislative guarantees it is
hoped by the reform party that Persia will

Muzaffer-ed-Din the dead shah was in
some respects remarkable man, consider
ing his environment. His foreign travels
had Lroadened his mind and during his
eleven years OF rule he demonstrated his
desire to improve the condition of Persia
in a practical manner. His son has had

defense, Is to become as highly effective as
it should be. One fault of the act of 1901
was that 1t combined into one corps two
arms of the service which have no tactical
relationship, the field and coast artillery.
Another was that 1t did not properly meet
the needs of these two arms in the matter
of officers. 1t also preserved for the coast
artillery the fixed company ferma ton,
which has been proved to be ineffective and
cumbersome. Beyond all other faults, how

Hearst and Mcclellan.

That little word "oust'' has stirred New
York profoundly. While the talk about the
mayoralty election was confined to charges
about stufffng ballot boxes, using repeaters,
and classifying the count, there was no
great excitement. That sort of thing was
too familiar to cause more than fiutter.
The town was used to that. Many people
considered it merely one means of retiring
from the field, and such people expected
Mr.. Hearst to drop his contention after a
few weeks.
Now the proposition is that Mr.. McClel-
Ian give up the Office to which it Is claimed
he was not elected. That causes New York
to sit up and take notice. Politicians and
lawyers, doctors and merchants, bankers
and manufacturers Tom. Dick. and Harry
are all aroused. Mcclellan out might mean
Hearst in. and with Hearst in what might
not happen? With Hearst in, the deluge?
Not few sober-minded people think so.
The election in question was in some of its
features unusual even for New York A
campaign as bitter as ever had been waged
had closed with party lines sagging in every
quarter of the city. Hearst, it was known,
was strong in Tammany circles. while Nc
Clean was strong in republican circles
The republican candidate-intellectually the
IlTSt man IN the raCe-WaS certain TO De last
in the polling. Things were upside down
from Harlem to the Battery.
A day or two after the election, promi-
nent southern politician, democrat, who
had spent election day in New York. was
interviewed here in Washington, and SEEM
ed impressed with the claim that Mr.
Hearst had won. He said he had seen some
pretty rough work done at home to carry
an election, but nothing to approach Tam
many's work in it's candidates behalf on
this occasion. He had evidently had his
eyes opened to the possibilities of can
vassing methods when In the hands of men
entirely tough.
Mr.. Mcclellan is as much stirred as any
of his friends. He will contest every move
of the Hearst people. His office Is no bed
of roses. Many of the men who helped put
him there are now opposed to him. The
leader of Tammany Hall, who managed his
campaign. is now his open and avowed
enemy. Mr. Murphy it is true, cannot sup
port the Hearst charges, for he himself is
involved in them. but in so far as they add
to the mayors embarrassments they prob
ably give him a sort of pleasure The
whole situation is such as could arise only
in New York and come to a complex ma
turity. And something more than the may
orally is at stake.
