Bryan May Get Three-Fourths.

". r. Tribune.
 If MT. Bryan is alive three weeks from now he will be the nominee for President of the Democratic party. His choice at Denver on the first ballot is eertainity. The. Tribune has for months past foreshadowed this action, since in its Judgment, Mir. Bryan com pletely dominated the Democratic party and efforts to sidetrack him had no serious support among the Democratic masses. week ago our record of the preferences of the delegates-elect to Denver showed that the Nebraska a statesman had already a two-thirds majority. He had then 66s votes. Last week so delegates were elected from Colorado, Florida, Mississippi and Ten nessee. and MT. Bryan got 5s of them. His present total is 727.
 Sixty-four delegates are still to be chosen from the four states of Georgia, Nortr Carolina, Vermont and Montana. Georola's delegation may be divided. but Montana and North Carolina are likely to support Mir. Bryan. If we credit him with no votes from Georgia or Vermont we must still run his total up to 757---a three-fourths majority In the convention. The two other declar- ed candidates. Gray and Johnson, have only 33 sure votes between them. It would not be surprising If Mir. Bryan's name were the only one presented at Denver.

 The railroads complain of the poor quality of steel put Into rails sold them by the steel trust. Defective rails are declared to be the main cause of the occurrence of frequnt disasters in the United states from which other coun- tries are comparatively free: The user of tinplates make like complaint of the inferior quality of the home make as compared with imported tin. The practical monopoly of the home market enjoyed by the trust has been abused to the disadvantage of consumers.

'Ts it absolutely necessary to de- stroy those beautiful maple trees on Grove Avenue, in order to make way for city Improvements" asks The Richmond Journal, and then adds a paragraph which we heartily approve and which fits elsewhere than Rich mond. It says:
 The value to the city of row of beautiful shade trees. such as these are. cannot well be measured. As a source of pleasure. comfort. and health. there is nothing that could take the place of shade trees. and so a hasty. order may result in the city losing a blessing that 1t would take fifty years to replace.
 To dig up a fine shade tree in city and insert in its place something that is little better than broomstick may not be a crime under the law, but should it not be made so?

SOLDIERS
PRAISED At CAMP
By GEN. GRANT
Colonel Freeman's Command Is
Primed for Mimic Battle.
Every Man Well.
Especial to the Evening Star.

PINE CAMP, N. Y, June 29.-There
some real drilling here today, but
Judging from the manner in which the
First Regiment N. G. n. ]. boys from
Newark, N. j.. pitched in it was to
their liking. General Frederick Dent
Grant had nothing but wors of praise
for Colonel Freeman's men yesterday,
and said that he intended to use them
on both defensive and offensive sides.
General Grant complimented the
Essex Troop, which also halls from
Newark. They established a record
when they arrived here at sos Satur-
day morning. and with horses and all
equipment were permanently located in
camp in less than an hour. This in
cluded a march of more than a mile
and the pitching of tents.
Several thousand visitors visited the
camp yesterday.
Colonel Freeman is delighted with
the location of the camp. The Grand
Old Colonel regards 1t as little short
of marvellous that there has been no
serious case of sickness among the
1000 men since coming here. He be-
lieves the excellent sanitary arrange
ments are responsible. There is no
malaria here. no fogs, flies or mos
quitoeS.

the project" said Congressman Rich
ard Barthold. chairman of the COM
mlttee on public buildings and grounds.
If the matter is to be brought to the
attention of Congress I shall be glad
TO Civ it all the backing 1 IAN. In
the last session the Republicans were
considerably more enthusiastic about
recognition han the Democrats, and 1
am certain that every Republican in
the House would vote for a memorial
for the great statesman, who deserves
a monument if any citizen of the
United States we did"
Frederick w. Lehman, president of
the st. Louis Bar Association, believes
that a memorial building would be
more appropriate han a shaft of mar
BILE or a statue.
His name should be perpetuated in
a most substantial FORM" he said. "a
public building erected in his honor
would, I think, be the best kind of q
memorial. A structure of utility, a
building dedicated to science or to gov
eminent would be the kind of memorial
that Cleveland would himself like"

o
witnessed an incident hat seems
to show a friendly understanding among
squirrels.
An o~ut-of-door dinner had just been
finished and the party were still sitting
at the table, when a red squirrel, with
glistening, eager eyes, came creeping
down a tree which stood near the table.
He crept nearer and nearer and finally
leaped Upon the table.
The lady who was presiding said,
Yes, help yourself to anything you
want"
Upon this invitation the little fellow
made bold to creep up to a loaf of bread
from which only a slice or two had
been cut. He seized It and dragged it
to the side of the table, and somehow
managed to scramble down the side
with it to the ground. He then fixed
his teeth in the crust. and dragged it
away and down the steep sides of the
glen.
But when he reached the bottom and
confronted The steep rise IN the other
side it was too much for him. Then he
gave a sort of call, which seemed to be
understood, for soon squirrels were seen
coming from several directions. They
crowded round him. and after a little
conference, all took hold, and with tug
and strain they managed to bring the
loaf to the top of the hill and disap-
peared with it in the woods beyond.
