BRYAN THE OPPORTUNIST.

one of Nj Bryan's greatest weaknesses as
& political leader has been his proneneSs 10

has seized upon issues which he has considered
effective or popular. anG dropped them again
without compuDction whenever he has discoy-
.red that they were unprOductive or out Of
y.shion. He was an ardent tariff raformer in
1890 and lS9@ In 1896 he put tariff reform
aside as a minor issue and tried To persuade
the country that the sole cure for our economic
ills was 10 be found in the debasement Of our
standard Of value BY 1900 he had wearied of
the crusade for cheapened dollar, and had it
not been necessary 10 placate me Populists and
silver Republicans, who had also nominated him
for President. he would have let the Democratic
National Convention at Kansas City ignore free
silver coinage. as il was sincerely anxious to
do In the campaign Of 1900 he pushed anti
Imperialism 10 the front and fOretod the COM
ing Of empire and the Mexicanzation Of the Re
public. until he found out to his disgust that he
was dangerously overtaxing the American sense
OF humor Then anti-mperialism went the way
Of free silver. In the last eight years Mr..
BRYAN has unearthed and buried more political
issues than any other man in public life In
his private graveyard at Lincoln now rest, be-
side free silver coinage ana antiimperialisnl.

THE REPLY TO CASTRO.

The reply of the Netherlands government 70
the Dictator of Venezuela deals with three
poiuts in what seems 10 be an effective manner
Tb. reason for the Dutch warship's not salut-
i'm, the La G,lsyra forts appears to be potn
adequate and discreet, and Identical with the
reason why many other warships enter Foreign
ports without firing salutes The explanation
of the alleged insults 10 the Venezuelan Consul
must also be regarded as convincing, II 1t De
true-and ii must be fact of record, easily
ascertaina nable-that the man in question was
not really consul at all
The third point that concerning the expulsion
of the Dutch Minister, is to be determined not
so much by facts of record as by Judgment Tnat
Venezuela had right to get rid of an unac-
ceptable minister is not TO be disputed The
question is whether she was justified in getting
rid of him as she did. We have not yet heard
of ANYTHING which he did, or is charged with
having done which would, according to prece-
dent. give warrant for expelng him without
first informing his government of his unaccept-
ability and asking for his withdrawal Accord
ing to all the known facts in the case, the Dutch
government seems to be quite right IN hoidlhg
that Mr. Castros course was in violation OF
di9lomatic precedent and offensive.
It is however, probably too mucn to hope
flat The strenuous Dictator will be convinced
by these representations of the "barbarians of
Europe" He is more likely to regard the Dutch
note rs anotner insult TO his autocratic dignity
When man establishes the rule that whoever
agrees with him is right and whoever disagrees
with him is necessarily wrong there is little use

crude OIL like gasolene, a considerable increase
in the demand has been created by the auto
mobile, but that requirement Is likely TO De met
in time by cheap spirits. The best luDricatihe
oils have for years been derived from petro-
leum, and it is not clear what can be useo III
their stead. Finally, both the unrefned OIL anu
a good deal of the residuum left after refining
have been employed as fuel. In the United
