Fears Bryan's Weakness.

Editor The Washington Herald.
While there are stu some Democrats
who would have Mr. Bryan as their
standard bearer Ia the coming cam
paisn, and would bo willing to let
their whiskers grow until he Is elected
there are indications that these admirers
though not deserving the party, are rapid

ability, and having found that the latter
does not warrant their giving encourage

ranks OF those who long ago discovered
that thcre was 70 connection between
Bryanism and Democracy.
In his early days he was locally known
as the boy orator" and the cause which
gave rise TO the nickname may be taken
as manifestation Of that same ambition
which continually moves him 10 clamor
for some kind OF distinction above his
fellows There are unquestionably any
number OF Democrats who viii admit
Bryan's versatility, but al the same time
they realize that g IS a serious matter
10 put In nomination a candidate for
Presidept OF the United States There
are THOSE who regret having been caught
by his cross OF gold' and crown Of
/ thorns metaphors and have awakened
20 the fact that the Presidency cannot
be attained by figures OF speech. This
truth seems 20 have al last dawned on
the twice defeated candidate. and Judging
from some OF his latest charges and chal-
lenges, he Is more than alarmed at the
prospects Of another disaster
In the current issue Of the Cornmoner.
he calls the independent action of the
Pennsylvania Democrats "an embezzIe-
mcnt OF power" but if tho other dele
gates along with the PennsyIvanians
properly resent the Msiuuation that they
are for sale. the Democratic voters IN
November viii have no excuse for re-
naming away from the polls or casting
their ballots FOR the Republican nominee.

granted are the courts, viz: Courts of
law, which try cases In accordance with
positive and fxed rules OF law. and courts
Of equity, which adjudicate causes IN
compliance with principles Of natural
justice.
In conclusion, so far as the lin crow
car laws and their relation to interstate
passengers are concerned, they are in
direct conflict with. and repugnant and
contrary 10, the Constitution and the
laws made IN pursuance thereof. These
laws are not invalid, for the reason that
the legislatures were powerless TO pass a
valid law. They are not unconstitutional,
for the reason that the legislatures were
poweriess 20 pass a constitutional law.
Hence, If these enactments are not in
valid or unconstitutional, and the legisla-
lures were pOwerless TO enact valid or
constitutional law regulating interstate
commerce. then they are nOnenfOrcible.
The ordinary legal remedies. as a penalty
for the enforcement OF the lin crow"
laws, are not plain, not complete. and
not adequate; therefore. the remedy must
be the equitable extraordinary remedy,
"injunctions against the law officers" Of
the States 20 prevent the enforcement OF
the so-cancd Jim crow" laws.

Wants a Sane Fourth.

Editor Tho Washington Herald:
At a recent meeting Of the Dolly Madi-

instructed TO write 70 the daily papers

garding the celebration OF the Glorious
Fourth, hoping in that way TO help for

saner form of patriotic rejoicing on the
anniversary OF a deed so vital in the coun-
trys history.
When one thinks OF the 1900 children
who %ere killed in the dangerous demon
STATIONS OF the last Fourth, and the many
hundreds moro who were seriously in
jured IL seems incredible that the whole
nation should continue this deadly work
and call IL a display of patriotic feeling

matter seriously In hand and find some
way OF teaching patriotism TO the rising
generation without sacrificing so many
precious lives? Z. c. TULLOCH.
