NOT ar VARIANCE.

The managers of the jefferson Day
entertainment to be given tonight In
Washington seem TO be unduly inhOs-
pitable and suspicious for persons who
are obviously Democrats and have been
obliged as such 10 keep an eye on the
multfarious meanderings of Demo
cratic doctrine in the last twenty years.
According 10 a dispatch from the cap
ital. the committee in charge OF the cele-
bration was confounded by the con-
tents of letter received by it from the
Hon. William J. Bryan. Said the dis
patch:
The letter was postmarked Lincoln.
Neh" and was addressed 10 Cotter L.
Bride Of the general committee. II con-
tanned views on the money question. the
tariff. the high cost of living and other
issues at variance with accepted Demo-
cratic doctrine. and when read at the
committee meeting caused furore.
II may be that the views expressed
by Mr. Bryan were tinged with novelty
and idiosyncrasy. 1t may be that they
were eccentric. socialistic. populistic or
even safe and sane" But what puz-
ZleS us is how the committee could
have had the extraordinary self-conf-
dence and self-assurance TO set up as 4
Judge of what views are or are not "at
variance with accepted Democratic doc
"trine" Mr.. Bryan has written and in
terpreted three of the last four Demo
cratic national platforms. He has made
and unmade Democratic doctrine ac-
cording to his own sweet will. The doc
trine TO which the party is now tied is
his. and no one is better qualified than
he 10 determine whether or not the
stock of ideas which the Democracy
has on hand ought to be augmented by
a few brand new discoveries
The jefferson Day dinner committee
was finical and narrow minded. IL
ought to have realized that anything
which Mr.. Bryan says or writes cannot
possibly be ''at variance" with the
latest opinions of the party which he
exploits and dominates

dences of divine favor and usefulness.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction, and
if our friends who love 10 see lie al nrst
hand would drop into these Gospel halls
they would learn of most interesting and
real conditions of life. Indeed, New York
civ has its good side. and there IL no finer
bodv of men and women in the world than
here II Is our conviction il such lnstltu-
tions as these mission halls could be largely
multiplied and those which are now at
work could be favored with better facilt-
ties that the ideal of New York as holy
city would be much nearer at hand than 1t
is now. GEORGE y SANFORD

There are doubtless good many
Americans who. with no lack of gener-
Gus feeling. Will insist before they ac-
cept the announcement that the summit
of Mount licKinley has AT last been
reached on seeing detailed account of
the performance. including specific.
statement concerning the route foi-
lowed. and on hearing the opinion of
expert mountain climbers Caution i'm
the present case iS suggested bv Dr
Cooks diScredited claim. but as Il gen
eral rule some skepticism regarding th,.
report of amy remarkable achievement
i proper until adequate proof has been
presented. There il no reason to doubt
that the Fairbanks party began their
preparations in perfect good faith and
conducted them with thorOughneSS. but
Such preiiminaries are not an absolute
guarantee Of success.
Many attempts TO gain the top Of
Mount Mckinley have been made i'm the
last seven years. and while the difficult
lies were shown 10 be- formidable. there
WAS room for hope that they would not
prove inSUperable There has always
been a chance that further search would
reveal new aud better path
