Thinkers and the People.

This is taken from the account of the
dinner eaten by the St. George Society OF
New York Thursday evening. at which
District Attorney Jerome was one of the
speakers:
Mr. Jerome was warmly cheered. He
began by praising the British ambassador
Mr.. Bryce. No other man on earth, ne
said could have written his second VOL
ume of the American Commonwealth
While Americans generally praised MI
Bryce few of them he said, had ever read
this second volume.
This statement. following hard upon
Mr. Bryce's statement made at Char
lottesvilIe that few people today read
Thomas JeffersOn's writings, raises an
interesting inquiry. Does the world take
It's writer's and thinkers of the higher or
der a good deal upon trust? Does the
approval of a few carry name and a
book among the great majority OF peO-
pie?
Mr.. Bryce was undoubtedly in the right
about Mr.. Jefferson. His name Is IN
voked in behalf of all sorts of causes oy
men who not only know nothing ABOUT
him, but nothing about any OF the
fathers of the republic. They have at
tached themselves to him in haphazard
fashion. Why they are not Hamiltonlans
instead of Jeffersonians is mystery.
They could not, If their lives depended
on it, expound the principles of either
man. But everything that they favor
they think Mr. Jefferson would favor II
alive. and hence they worship his name
If Mr.. Jerome is right about Mr. Bryce,
the Americans are losers. The study that
the British scholar and statesman mas
made of the American commonwealth Is
at once profound and Illuminating. 1t Is
as much for the everyday man Of affairs
busy in office as for the student in his
library with no thought or hope of office.
In circles where it is known it is a clas-
sic, and its influence proceeds from the
praises there sounded.
But Mr.. Bryce is alive. and large num-
bers Of our people are beginning to know
him from his later public deliverances.
curiosity to hear him is widespread, and
HIS Invitations are numerous. And ha Is
serving both his own people and his hosts
by the character of his responses. In his
addresses he is bringing his knowledge
of us and his meditations on our institu-
tions up to date. Thus great numbers OF
people, with neither time nor inclination
for q fat volume, are able to enjoy some
Of the reflections of q learned man who
both understands and admires our gov
eminent and its wonderful workings. and

Bryan and Sullivan.

Some of Mr.. Bryan's opponents are
merry at his expense over his recOncilia-
ton with Roger Sullivan of Illinois. 1t
must be admitted that the theme Is
tempting. Four years ago the two men
were bitter enemies; and Mr.. Bryan's de-
nunciation of Mr.. Sullivan at the St.
Louis convention was in terms severer
than he had ever employed in public be-
fore about anybody. They quite shocked
those of his admirers who had come to
regard him as the prince of polite as Of
eloquent expression.
Today the two men are acting together.
The Illinois "highwayman" of 1904 is a
lieutenant Of Mr.. Bryan In this year Of
grace, and will deliver the vote of the
Sucker state to the peerless leader at
Denver. Any change in either man? Only
such as the exigencies Of politics have
made necessary.
Mr.. Bryan? Have they nothing of the
kind to account for? Take affairs In New
York. The anti-Bryan case there is In
the hands of Charles F. Murphy. The
anti-Bryan hope is in him. And yet many
of the men who are using Mr.. Murphy
against Mr.. Bryan have scored the Tam
many IedOeT QuItc as SdNdSeiy as
Bryan has Mr.. Sullivan. II they can af-
ford to give their hand to Mr.. Murphy
for this years fight cannot Mr.. Bryan af-
ford to give his to Mr.. Sullivan:
Then there is the case of Judge Taft
and George b. Cox of Cincinnati. Two
years ago Judge Taft forced Mr.. Cox,
who was then the republican boss of Gin
cinnati. into the background. So dis
couraged was Mr.. Cox by the election re-
suit of that year. which Judge Taft by
public addresses in Ohio had helped to
produce. that he announced permanent re-
tirement from politics. Today that trou-
bic has been entirely composed; and not
only has Mr.. Cox returned to the field
full Of fight and authority. but goes to
Chicago as a delegate to vote for Judge
Taft In the great contest for the repub-
Hcan nomination for President.
MIR. Bryan is entitled to a square deal In
this matter. 1t is the time for reconcilia-
tions. AS The Star stated some weeks
ago. hunting bosses is not now In order
This Is the closed season. Mr.. Bryan Is
simply obeying the law of the game. He
does not intend that his opponents iu
either party shall monopolize the pardon
ing power. And he is right.

Tammany and Its Orators.

Thomas F. Grady announces that he is
serving his last term in the New York
senate. 1t seems. however, that he has
taken Anal leave Of that body before. and
his farewell Is becoming a thing of rou-
tine. 1t fails to impress his hearers.
Mr.. Grady Is one of three men whose
oratory served -Tammany many valuable
turns during the Crokerian dynasty. The
other tive were Bourke Cochran and John
r. FELLOWS. Mr.. Cochran chose the ma
tional field, and has been conspicuous in
Congress. Col. Fellows for a time con-
fined himself 10 New York, and served a
term as district attorney. Then he ac-
cepted a seat in Congress, and made a
very pleasant impression in the House.
Personally he was one Of the most popu-
lar Tammanyites of his day.
Why Mr.. Grady has contented himself
with the local field is not clear when 1t
is considered that lawyers of his gifts
after entering politics usually fix their
eyes on Congress- He is ready speaker
and a clever parliamentarian.- and would
have made a place for himself In the
House. But Albany has claimed him. He
has spent years there, and been one of
Tammany's principal assets in the as
sembly.
Can 1t be that Tammany's work is get
ting distasteful even to Mr.. Grady? He
Is hardy" citizen in that particular.
He has stood good deal. and nobody
has suspected his stomach Of limit. Mr..
Cleveland when governor paid Mr.. Grady
the ieft-handed compliment of asking that
he be left at home in the interests Of the
party and his own personal comfort, and
Mr.. Croker granted the request
1t was at Buffalo in the convention
which nominated Mr.. Hearst for gov
ernor that Mr.. Grady showed his first SEN
sitiveness about the exigencies Of politics.
After assisting Charles F. Murphy and
Chairman Corners in bringing about the
deal between Mr.. Hearst and Tammany
on that occasion, Mr.. Grady, In At of
disgust. remarked: This is the dirtiest
days work that ever I have DONE" At
the state convention the other day, when
delegates to Denver were chosen and
the McCarrenites were rejected without
ceremony. Mr.. Grady was not selected to
execute any of Tammany's mandates.
His intimacy with Mr.. McCarren in the
legislature may have disqualified him for
such service.
Tammany must have orators. Col. Eel
lows 10 dead. Mr. Cochran has been turn
ed adrift. and now Mr.. Grady announces
retirement. Upon whom will Mr.. Murphy
rely? Who are to take the places of 1.-The
lights Of other days.?

FRENCH MINISTERIAL SITUATION

y utmost tension the patience

cor,,r. must eliminate in a storm
on the reassembling of the
chambers. The Clemenceau cabinet, II Is
predicted. will fall. and must have fallen
long ago but that the progressists and
liberal party that constitute a balance OF
power sustain NJ. Clemenceau from a
patriotic view against the anti-patriots OF
the Jaures, Herve and Berteaux class
which aspire to succeed. 1t Is therefore

element in the chamber Of ''better bear

the chamber of deputies. The results Of
that conflict loom large upon the hori-
ION and cast their shadows athwart the

other the continuation of disorder and an
archy under the rule of Jaures and re-
turn to the days of the national con-
Vention. to the theories OF Danton. OF
whom Jaures Is the faithful prototype.
The lines between the inferior and ex-
terror policy of q nation are scarcely per-
ceptible If they run to revolution and
change Of government when they become
direct interest to alien, governments.
For this reason and in view OF the storm
flags that are now flying in France 1t will
interest the American public to anticipate
coming events there. to invite attention
to the Interpolation by NJ. Jaures on the
general policy of the Clemenceau cabinet,
M. Combes recently delivered q speech
attacking the Clemenceau cabinet and
declared that If things OF
Combes' which he complained con-
- tinued the republic was
lost. He created a SEN
sation. but at the end of eight days
the public had forgotten 1t. He was not
discouraged, but renewed the attack at
the recent dinner given to fete the ami
versary OF the fifteenth election of M.
Brisson to the presidency of the cham
Der of deputies. where he said:
THE superior interests of the republic
necessitate the formation Of two parties
resentation-the party of advanced repub-
licans. republicans of the left. and the
republican party. composed of progressive
and liberal republicans. who have with
them and behind them the conservatives
of all colors."
M. Clemenceau. who was present. took
up the gauntlet thus flung at him with
defiance and replied with acrimony that
It were better to seek a remedy for GER
tain inevitable conditions in parties by
the constitution Of q solid majority. not
for personal satisfaction, but for the real
ization Of great principles
In turn NJ. Clemenceau was attacked by
M. Millerand. by NJ. Berteaux. both am
bilious of power, and finally by M. Jau-
res.

a Pathetic Sto ".

A pathetic story of a child's hero
ism is told by Dublin gentleman,
says the London Telegraph.
Recently lie proposed to drive with
his wife TO the beautiful Glasnevin
cemetery. Calling his son, a bright
little boy, some years old, he told
him to get ready to accompany them
The child's countenance fell. and the
father said:
Don't YOU want to 70, v7illie?"
The little lip quivere1, but the child
answered: "Yes, papa. If you wish.'
The child was strangely silent dur
ing the drive,-and when the carriage
drove TIP to the entrance he clune to
his mothers side and looked up in her
face with pathetic usefulness.
The party alighted and walked
among the graves and along the tree
shadowed avenues, looking at the in
soriptions on the last resting places of
the dwellers in the beautiful city OF
the dead. After an hour or 80 thus
spent they returned to the carriage
and the father lifted his little son to
his seat. The child looked surprised
drew a breath of relief, and asked:
''Why, am going back with you o.
"Of course you are; why aot?"
Il thought when they took little bows
to the cemetery they left them there"
said the c:lild.
Many a man does not show the hero
ism IN the face of death that this
child evinced in what, to him, had evil
IDENTIFY been a summons to leave the
world.
