Arranging Bryan's Campaign.

cratic national convention, or the next DEM

David r. Francis is a successful man of
business. and ha had some success in poll
ties. He is an agreeable man to meet. and
possesses dignity and address. But why
make Mr. Francis a leading figure in a
stirring revival OF Organism? He has never
been an ardent supporter of Mr.. Bryan. and
at the start was probably no supporter at
all. At any rate. when Hoke Smith. a gold
man, left Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet to support
Mr. Bryan for regularity's sake. Mr.. Fran
els took his place, and thus became asso-
Ctated with the Cleveland opposition TO the
democratic ticket In 1896 Besides it was
Mr.. Francis who introduced Senator Bailey
to the oil people, whose affairs cost Mr..
Bailey heavily in the way of prestige.
Has Mr.. Francis any sympathy with
trusts?
And why Augustus Thomas for orator
extraordinary and nOminator p!enipoten-
tiary at the convention? Is he an orator
at all? Is he politician at all? He has
had some small success as playwright,
but is not otherwise known. Why select
him to present Mr. Bryans name to the
convention? playwright may be an ora
tor, as Richard Brinsley Sheridan demon
strated. But Sheridan was a great play
wright.
But the real fun is found in the sugges-
ton of Big Tim" Sullivan for chairman
OF the national communicative general to
conduct the Bryan campaign. That, We
may all be sure, Is either an error, or

We may be absolutely certain, however
that big Tim will not be Mr. Bryan's
choice for manager next year. or any other

ward. and presides well over a 'chowder
party" but he would not spread out over

The Earle Case.

There is little in the case of Mr. and Mrs
Earle, who have just separated by mutual
consent in order that the husband may wed
his affinity" to dfferentiate it from
large number of marital misadjustments in
these days of easy divorce. All that really
distinguishes it Is the utter frankness with
which the couple have taken the public into
their confidence, and the willingness with
which the discarded wife has relinuuished
her rights to free her husband Neyerthe-
less a mob yesterday assailed the husband
when he returned to his home at Monroe
n. j.. after escorting his wife to the ship
which is now carrying her to France to
secure a divorce. Many a man is permit
ted by his community to march to court
and secure the papers of legal separation
without the slightest sign of disapproval
Many an offending husband is received In
good society after he has gone through the
divorce mill. Had 1t not been for the pub
licity with which the Earle case has been
transacted thus far the people of Monroe
would probably have given no sign what
ever of any partisanship on the subject.
This affair is deplorable from every point
OF view, even though 1t may seem to result
in a readjustment for greater happiness for
two of the three people chiefly concerned.

The Dinard Episode.

Let us wait for the French version Of
the Dinard incident if that government
vouchsafes an offering the subject, be-
fore we allow our American choler to rise
unduly The affair itself is at this stage
merely picturesque. An American citizen
who spends large part of his time abroad
is summarily notified that ne must leave
France in twenty-four hours. The reason
assigned for his official classification as
an undesirable resident Is that he has been
officially connected with social club at
Dinard at which card playing for stakes
is permitted Of course, the morals OF the
French government are so finely adjusted
that matter of gambling is likely to upset
the entire administrative organization. The
indignant American citizen obeys the COM
mand and fees to England, where he tells
his tale of to the ambassador. and
the wires become somewhat heated in con-
sequence.
If the story Mr. Winslow tells Is absolute
ly correct. and leaves no important fact
untold. there has undoubtedly been gross
injustice. But II Is just well to wait
for more particulars. Mr.. Winslow claims
that the enmity toward the club with which
he was connected springs from the fact
that 1t has distanced IN social favor an
other club, controlled exclusively by
Frenchmen, and that his expulsion was
merely part of a program of persecution
designed to drive the Americans out of
business Inasmuch Americans supply
the major part of Dinard's revenues this
would seem to be a short-sighted policy
on. the part of the local authorities, and
the case thus calls for calculation before
judgment is passed. ....-.
