Venezuela.

Judging from the official correspond
ence between MIR. Jacob Sleeper. Ameri-
can diplomatic representative in Ven
ezuela, and Dr. Jose Paul, minister OF
foreign affairs of that country, President
Castro is still out of touch with the mod
ern diplomatic usages The situation
which this correspondence now printed
outlines leaves the United States govern
ment no choice at present but to con-
tinue to remain unrepresented in Caracas,
save through the good offices of such a
power as Brazil. until the Venezuelan gov
eminent realizes that it is in interna-
tional law obligated to consent to an
equitable adjustment of the pending diff
ferences.
Stripped Of its somewhat preposterous
verbiage. DIR. Paul's letter 10 Mr.. Sleeper
is fat denial of any American rights
which the government at Caracas is
bound to respect. 1t restates in tiresome
iteration the old proposition that Venez-
ueIa cannot recognize any claimants who
will not bind themselves to submit un-
reservedly to the courts of Venezuela. 1t
intimates that Mr.. Sleeper's request for
safe conduct is an insulting suggestion
that Venezuela is a dangerous territory,
and begs the retiring diplomatic repre-.

Bryan and Guffey.

Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania, like Sir
Anthony Absolute. is calm man. Some
people, under provccation. get excited.
He never does. When people revile him
he argues the case with them. When
they prove ungrateful he forgives them.
His knack of turning the other cheek is a
study in humility. And yet he is a
product of a state where politics is an
art and excitement runs high. How he
acquired his perfect self-control is mys-
terry. If forced to retire from politics he
might turn to the church and find fame
and happiness there.
Evidently there is a misunderstanding
between Col Guffey and Mr.. Bryan
They have seen too little of each other
great stretch of country separates
them. Col. Guffey, being capitalist is
often in New York. and has probably alb
sorbed some of the New York prejudice
against Mr.. Bryan. The peerless leader,
being westerner and close to the people,
has absorbed some of the local prejudice
against New York and capital. The COM
merce between them has been conducted
by agents unqualified for such delicate
work. Had the two men met and con-
ferred oftener about money and morals
of today would not have occurred.
What will be the effect on the demo-
cratic campaign? Col Guffey speaks of
his past services to the party, which
seem to have been the raising of dust
Dust in the past, and unto dust the party
must return. 1t will need as much dust
this year as ever it has needed hitherto.
Will Col. Guffey help raise it? He may
SO desire, but has not his credit been
somewhat impaired by Mr.. Bryan's at
tack?
What will Col. Guffey "call for" If Mr..
Bryan is elected? Who could hope to get
action on his campaign contribution by
making it through him?
But is the row, savage as it now Is,
past settlement? So many things suggest
themselves. So much history-some Of
it recent-bear upon the point. Mr.. Bryan,
as a rule, is an amiable man, compan-
ionable, and even tender. May not his
equanimity be restored by Col Guffey's
criticisms and conciliatory retort? When
in calmer moments he reflects that Col.
Guffey. under extreme provocation. has
only called him a faker and an migrate.
and pronounced his statements false, Mr..
Bryan may see the advantage of calling
this accomplished son of Pennsylvania to
his side in a campaign where cocl-head-
edness and serenity will be worth their
weight in gold.

The "Jolly" at Lincoln.

These are days of mingled bliss and
anxiety for Mr.. Bryan. Let us not forget
the bliss.
The peerless leader sits enthroned at
Fairview. His callers are all worshipers.
They believe in him. They are "leggsng
for him. They things through his
glasses. And they are seeing many
things.
Let us consider a sample case. 1t is
Col. Shocks OF Podunk. an authority
In that town anS therea bouts, who grasps
MIR. Bryan's hand with fervor, and drops
by invitation into the chair at Mr.. Bryan's
side. He has never scratched a demo-
cratic ticket in his life. and never will.
uIe has been a wheel horse in a dozen
presidential campaigns. He knows the
'.boys' and the ropes" and how to
gather and appraise public sentiment.
Col. Shocks is free now to say that
neither in 1896 nor 1900 did he look for
success. The signs around Podunk point
ed the other way In 1904 In confidence
at the tavern he predicted defeat. Parker,
he felt. would prove a sinker When the
party. against Mr.. Bryans advice. sur
rendered to Wall street, as it did in nomi-
mating Judge Parker, defeat was both in
vited and deserved. Col. Shocks shed
no tears when defeat came.
1t is all very different now. Mr.. Bryan
is coming into his own. The people have
been growing up to him. They are ap-
preciating his wisdom and his worth.
They are sorry for their two adverse
verdicts at the polls. They will remedy
matters this time-the third time. which
is the charm. Col. Shocks knows of at
least twenty republicans in Podunk who
are convinced that Mr.. Bryan is the man
for the emergency, and will support him.
And, as in Podunk, SO elsewhere Look
out for great overturn i'm November.
Ordinarily Mr.. Bryan would be able to
discount the enthusiasm of Podunk's Illus
trious citizen, but not now Col. Shocks
is but one of many-one of long process
sion, all uttering the same thing. AS a
consequence Mr.. Bryan is an easy mark.
lie has himself caught the fever. He
believes what his friends believe, and
what he wants to believe. He grips Col
Shocks hand. returns his smile, walks
with him to the front door. and bids him
God-speed to Denver. He Is happy to
have seen him, and will remember his
words of cheer and confidence. And Col.
Shocks? He only regrets that he didn't
make the number of converted republic
cans in Podunk a hundred instead of
twenty.

A Convict Candidate.

Yesterday in New York a convention
was held by the socialist labor party and
q presidential ticket was named by the
delegates. The temperature must have
been very high in the convention hall, else
1t is difficult to account for the remark
able results. The candidate named for
the presidency of the United States Is
man under constitutional age now serving
term of twenty-five years Imprisonment
in Goldfield, New, for manslaughter, with
over twenty years of his term yet to run.
Such fragrant defiance of the funda-
mental law is calculated only to attract
national attention to the irreconcilable
attitude of the radicals comprising this
petty political party. In a way such a
nomination, affronting the good taste of
the people and essaying to make mock
of the Constitution. will do much more
good than harm. 1t will disclose in I'M
mistakable terms the fanatical position
of these partisans, who are SO closely al
lied to anarchism that they become
violently indignant when accused of such
an utilization, and this disclosure will
probably restore many to a sense of po-
Gtical propriety. Nothing less than the
entertainment of straight-out anarchistic
principles can justify the formal presenta-
ton 10 the people of a presidential can
dictate who is ineligible to the Office on
two accounts-first, because of his con-
yiction of crime, and. second, because of
his lack OF years. The man who placed
him in nomination boosted of the fact
That the nominee is of unprecedented
Years. saying:
Though Preston is not of the age pro-
vided In the Constitution for presi-
dental candidate. it makes no difference
TO us. Ii is for the working people to
elect him, and if he is elected lie will be
seated. Constitutions are for the people
and not the people for the constitutions"
OF course this is no more than blatant
banality. and is not to be taken seriously
for a moment save. as it expresses the at
titude of number of people. They are
not numerous enough 10 form an i'm
portant factor in American politics. but
they are representative i'll eXaggeration of
q somewhat more numerous group who

reputation and of anarchistic agitation.

neglect their opportunity and allow the
practice 10 continue regardless Of the
known fact that the sentiment of the ma
jority of the community favors repression.
The citizens associations of the District

first fall meetings and adopt measures
looking to a capitalization of the antago-
nistic feeling against this barbaric prac-
tice Organization is perhaps the only
method of reaching the end. and If in
telligently applied it will score results. It

Gov. Folk was an early bird, and the
worm caught him. But do not grieve for
him. He was never seriously in the rum

He hopes to defeat Mr. Bryan's friend, w.
