fOundly melancholy fatalism. We are supposed
to be free TO select our candidates, irrespective
Of the designs of fate. and TO select them with
reference to what think Is their availability
vote getters Inevitability is not supposed to
trammel conventions. but the Democracy seems
TO be afflicted with the fatalistic notion that
here is a candidacy and here Is defeat from
which there Is no escape. We were depressed
by the sight of this melancholy fatalism, and
even Colonel WatterSon's vision of North
erner with a mustache failed to restore our
customary spirits
Under these circumstances it is a relief to
learn that some Democrats are not In the
slough OF despond. but actually want Mr.
Bryan to run for President-at least, we
interpret the action of Colonel Walker. Colonel
Troup and Colonel fhonus frr organizing the
Bryan Democracy. Their numbers may not be i'm

Walker. Colonel Troup and Colonel Thomas are
doing their best to impart an aspect of life
and cheer to the coming campaign. They hold
no fatalistic view. They are going through the
motions OF being the original Bryan men, just
as If inevitability needed such adventitious
aids. They are for Bryan. Just If anybody
except Colonel Watterson had the spunk to be
actively against him. They almost impart an

THE POOR ARTIST.

Some persons still believe that the millennium
is as backward the spring of 1907 But this
pessimtstic view may easily be refuted by
simple consideration of the poor artists career
In these days. We say poor artist as n mat
ter of habit, for in tradition poverty Clings as
closely 10 the painter as paint does TO his can
vas. But tradition has had it's day: the appel
lation is no longer just. and therein lies proof
of the dawning millennium
The artist Of history has always dwelt In q
garret-so the books say lie has fed on dried
up paint tubes and leftover turpentlne; has
worked himself into gallopng consumption and
pershed unknown TO all save his creditors The
only real estate he has ever held has been a
small lot In some potters field. unless we cede
10 him the painted acres in his landscapes And
even when / ortune has glanced in his direction
the best she could do was to make him the
lowest Of the rich mans guests and the high
"est of his servants"
But all this has passed. The morning papers
bring the news that the artist Is no longer so
poor as what he has painted Touched bv the
spirit OF the age, he has descended TO the meth
DDS of the predatory rich by going into the real
estate business on the side. Perhaps II IS only
the realistic school OF artists who have allied
realty in New York with reality in art But
the important fact still remains that II Is n
syndicate of real, live artists which has bought
a Fifth avenue plot for S1.25OOOO and pur-
poses to erect a twelve story studio building
thereon Not content with starting modestly In
real estate, these welders OF the brush have
boldly plunged into the most exclusive neigh
borhood on the island. with the apparent in
tentiOn Of effeCting an alliance between High
Art. High Finance aud High Society
The poor artist Is becoming extinct His suc-
cessor manipuates millions Of dollars and
strikes terror to the hearts of the captains OF
industry by planting his easel next 10 their
palaces. He enters the ranks Of the real estate
spectators and finds many Congenial friends
there. For, after all. there Is q close affinity
between the artist and his new Collea g1les; both
the painter and the renl estate speculator have
vivid imaginations and are adopts at vanishing
landscapes. Indeed, there is some question
whether the artist is n higher form OF the land
specuatOr or the land speculator an advanced
specimen Of the artist. Whichever may be the
case. the brush-and-easel artist will be st home
among the lot swappers. And probably no
body will recognize him I'm his automobile "a a
lineal descendant of the miserable wretcbes
who used to grind ont masterpieces in the gar
rets of Europe, VIII men have the same DIFF
ficulty in chasing his canvases along with the
attic ones?

PARTY FATALTSV

Colonel Watterson alone seems to be kicking
against the pricks, at least with any energy.
The rest of the Democracy appears resigned 10

party feels about its prospective candidate has

YORK We do not think that The World ~
The Times and THE American" misrepresent
in expressing dissatisfaction with Colonel
Bryan, the sentiments of the Democracy We
have read the Democratic newspapers of New

venture TO say the majority view the impending

SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOATS

The most elaborate series OF tests of sub
marine torpedo boats ever made by the United
States Navy Department has just been CON
cluded in Narragansett Bay. This country was
the first TO try the method OF warfare which
such craft render possible but after the art
had been revolutionized In France by the use of
gasOlene engines and electric motors the United
States was slow to employ the improved means
of coast defence Not until the recent war with
Spain emphasized the deficiency did the au-
thoritleS AT Washington fully realize the wis
dom Of action in the matter. At that time two
American inventors, John L. Holland and Simon
Lake sought official favor with boats which diff
fered in certain details. The first orders which
We're given went TO Holland. or to the owners
of his patents. Indeed, though preliminary mr.
rangements to give Lakes boat trial have been
made several times before, no real comparison
has been practicable until now
From the somewhat imperfect press renorts
of the trials which have just ended it appears
that the Octopus "a Holland boat and the
Lake have about the same radius Of action
from 1000 to 1900 miles when on the surface
and are practically equal in Several other re-
spects. On the other hand, each has its own
special exceilences At three different sta yes-
on the surface, partially submerged and en-
tirely under water-the Octopus showed greater
speed than her rival It was possible, too ~
submerge the Holland boat more quickly than
the Lake. though 1t may not be easy to deter
mine whether the superiority in this particular
was due merely TO peculiarities Of construction or
was aided by the skill Of the crew. Finally, the
Octopus is equipped with apparatus which
would automatically force out water enough to
insure a return to the surface If from any
cause the boat should sink below n prescribed
level. Among the unique features OF the Lake
Is the ability to check h"r progress by altering
the pitch of her propelers and without re-
versing. II she resembles the earlier boats Of
the same inventor, she also has a trapdoor In
the bow through which diver cnu emerge in
order TO cut telegraph cables the wires to
anchored mines.
There are so many characteristics to be taken
into consideration that 1t may be found hard
TO decide which is the better type OF boat 1t
MAY 5s suggested that with equal sucoursSepsut

Lake might possibly have improved as much on
his original design as his rival has on his. The
Octopus shows a wonderful advance on the
Holland, which was launched only seven years
ago. However, the all important fact is that
material progress in efficiency and safety has
already been made. partly as result of of
fetal criticism and partly in consequence OF the
zeal and self-Interest of the boat builders. If,
may reasonably be predicted, these influences
continue TO operate in the future they have
operated In the past there will he even greater
cause for congratulatOn few years hence than
there is now Perfection has not yet been
