Colonel Henry Watterson. in his capacity as a
sub-manager of the Democratic campaign. is
still holding open the door of hope to the Col
ored Brother Although the Denver conven-
ton, for obvious reasons. failed TO welcome
the Colored Brother within the Democratic fam
Sly circle, and the Democratic candidate for
Presdent-also for obvious reasons-has
avoided openly inviting the support Of colored
voters, Colonel Watterson evidently believes
that much good can be accomplished if Mr.
Bryan is only equal to showing TO the negroes
in states where the Democratic party needs
their votes its cordial interest in their political
welfare. while at the same time not intruding
that cordial interest on the negroes in states
where the Democratic party does not need
their votes and would not accept them under
any circumstances.

Watterson has been urging Mr.. Bryan Ito shape

McARREN,!s TICTORY.

There can be no dispute about Senator Nc
Carren's victory over in Brooklyn. Not only
has the attempt of Murphy and Corners to
destroy his power failed, but McCarren is
actually stronger than when he thrown out
of the state convention last spring. Whereas
his enemies then controlled seven districts,
they now have only five. The result is bad
defeat for Mr.. Murphy. whose high handed
methods of ignoring primary results and sub
stituting his own men for the duly elected
representatives of the party have been re-
scented throughout the borough.
But if the Brooklyn results are rebuke to Mr..
Murphy for throwing the regularly elected rep
resentatives of Brooklyn out of the state con
vention, they equally a rebuke to Mr..
Bryan for refusing to seat the proper repre-
sentatives of Brooklyn in the Denver conven-
ton. Mr.. McCarren and his claims as the rep
resentative of Brooklyn We're treated with as
scant ceremony by Mr.. Bryans committee on
credentials as by Mr. Murphys. The Demo
cratic candidate at that time was seeking the
favor of the Tammany boss, and so was indif-
ferent as to how the dear people of Brooklyn
felt at having their right to representation in
the party taken away from them. In the light
of the primaries this seems TO have been one
of those cases where the people did not rule.
Mr.. Bryan. who is busy trying to insure the
popular rule, missed notable opportunity to
give It effect when he found it con-
venient to let the Tammany boss rule than
the people.

RESULTS IN MOROCCO.

The opinion is expressed by 'Le Temps of
Paris, that Germany is not proceeding further
with the policy of Internationally recognizing
Mua Hafg as Sultan of Morocco, and that the
incident NAV now be considered as closed. 1t
is not improbable that that opinion is correct.
Certainly it is to be hoped that it is. In that
case the net results of the episode are worthy
of contemplation.
The German government has at any rate
shown to the German people that it is untir-
ingly alert in the guardianship of German in
terests abroad and in the thwarting or attempt
ed thwarting of schemes for the possible ag
grandzement of rival powers. 1t has reused
the patriotic spirit of the nation and has created
a probably irresistible sentiment against limita-
ton of ornaments 1t has fngratiated itself
with NIulai Haffg as to make sure that when
ever he is recognized he will not be a yassal of
Frances. but will incline toward favoring Ger
many in every way. There are those who re-
gard it as having increased the isolation of Ger
many; but isolation is a condition which can be
endured so long as it is accompanied with con-
solidation at home Moreover. while nominal
isolation may exist the Triple Alliance still re-
mains a concrete and potent fact.
France for her part is united as perhaps
never before in the history of the Third Repub-
lie We hear tales of all parties ralIying to the
support of the government in this matter. The
French alliance with Russia is strengthened,
and SO is the entente with Great Britain, while
the sympathy of Italy and Austria Hungary is
pretty clearly manifested. That the Franco
Spanish policy of requiring guarantees from
Mulai Hafig before recognizing him will prevail
is not to he doubted. Europe seems to be
unit on that point, with the exception Of Ger
many.
closing of the incident at the present stage
of the game would therefore be reasonably
profitable to both parties, and would probably
serve well the general interests Of the world.
The FrancoSpanish policy is beyond doubt cor
rect 1t is to be doubted if Germany would
wish 1t to be defeated for Moroccan reputation
of all conventions with the powers would be
offensive TO her as well as 10 others. But Ger
many's desire to figure cOnspicuOusly in the case
is natural and not unreasonable, and if it has
been gratified by what has already been done
or said there is no reason why all should not be
satisfied.

Two Of the addresses delivered at this years
meeting Of the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, just ended, have re-
| lated to plant life. In one Professor Francis
| Darwin dwet characteristics which sug-
gested the possession of memory, habits and
moods. At times, xhe declared, there is an e1-
| hibition of what III man is called consciousness
| and evidence that some system of communi-
cation from one part of plant to another, re
sembling telegraphy, exists. A plant occasion
ally acts said this speaker, as if it had nerves
In the other address, by Professor Harold W.
T Wager, reference was made to bits Of CLASSY
material sometimes found on leaves which,
being transparent and shaped like lenses, limited
at form of service akin to sight. BY way Of
illustrating the phenomenon, Professor Wager
showed several photographs taken with the
aid of vegetable lenses.
In the opinion OF Professor Darwin, a son
Of the great naturalist whose name he bears,
there is nothing in the least sensational or
revolutionary. BY what qualification climb
ing bean is fmpelled to encirce pole it may
be difficult TO say but the fact itself is almost
as great a wonder as the behavior of more
highly endowed creatures. Professor Darwin
did not credit vegetation with reasoning
powers, and automatic or semi-automatlc
response to the stimulus of physical contact
other external agencies is one of the tests
which the biologist applies to all forms of life.
Concerning the soundness of Professor
Wager's conclusions the best judges other
botanists verdict rendered by jury of his
peers is needed to confirm upset his theories.
Even the uninitiated, however, can detect a
possible flaw in them. A photograph can be
obtained without any lens at all-with a pin
hole camera for instance-and even with
lens vision is impossible without a retina. Proof
of the most convincing kind must be offered
that vegetation has not only a nervous system
but also that highly developed special sense
on which sight depends before Professor
Wagers suggestion can be regarded with favor
Ewes that see not would be of little use
Within the last few years more than one
popular writer on the traits of animals has
ascribed to them not merely instinct but intel
lect also In some cases. no doubt the as
sumption has been honestly made. In others,
perhaps it has been held that if not strictly
correct il might be sanctioned by sort of
poetic license In still others. ii is to be feared
there has been conscious fabrication. Against
few of these flights of the imagination there
has been a vigorous protest by such close OBJ
servers of animals as President Roosevelt and
John Burroughs To denounce Professor
Wager as a mature faker" would undoubtedly
be unjust: but there can he no objection 10
waiting for independent confederation by
