The Secret Caucus.

Mr.. Bryan seems to have stampeded
Mr.. Underwood and some OF the lat
ter's friends on the subject OF the Sc
cret caucus. Why open the doors TO
the public while party programs are
under discussion and party policies are
taking their first form?
The question grows out Of mis-
take made by Mr.. Bryan, which was
not creditable to his experience either
as a politician or an editor. Seizing
upon an ill-digested report OF the
proceedings of democratic caucus.
Mr. Bryan read Mr.. Underwood
sharp lecture on the subject of democ-
racy and party duty. and pointed out
10 him the path the leader OF the
House majority should take as to tariff
revision.
As the report in question seemed to
reflect somewhat upon Mr.. Under
woods ordinary intelligence. Mr.. Bryan
might easily have assumed its in
accuracy and informed himself pri-
vately of the facts. The gentleman
from Alabama is not only bright
man, but clean in every respect and
far above reproach. 1t was simply
absurd TO suppose that he had put the
wool schedule ahead OF the metal
schedule in taking up revision of the
Payne law because he had personal in
terests in metals and none in WOOL
As a matter of fact. knowing how the
game OF politics is played. Mr.. Under
wood, TO insure himself against the
possibility of such an attack, had de-
sired the metal schedule put ahead or
the wool schedule.
r, cd
had desired an excuse for attacking
Mr.. Underwood, and in his zeal had
snapped up a thing unworthy OF his
notice.
When a member of the House, Mr.
Bryan helped prepare the Wilson tariff
bill. That work was done in secret.
lie and his co-laborers were bantered
on that score by the opposition, but
placed at no disadvantage. All that
followed Of a nature to bring that
measure under censure was done in
the open. Mr.. German picked the bill
10 pieces and reconstructed II in the
presence of crowded Senate galleries.
He even replied TO Mr.. Cleveland'S Sc
we're criticism in a speech in the open
Senate, which hundreds heard and no.
body wondered at.
Campaigns, military or political, are not
prepared in public. general and his
staff do not order the long roll sound
ed and the rank and file marshaled to
hear all the details of a movement
agreed upon. Nor Is a report sent
under a white flag TO the enemy. that
lie may know just what to expect.
The secret party caucus is a well-es-
tablished institution. and has served
many valuable purposes. Its abolition
is not demanded by any existing con-
ditions. No additional plays to the
galleries. Mr.. Underwood does not be-
lieve. or says he does not, in that sort
Of politics, and should not attach so
much Importance to Mr.. Bryan's prod
dings.

Flying Does Not Pay.
the Memphis Commercial A ppeai.

From the Memphis COmmeIclaI-Appeai
Aviation as commercial enterprise is
not a success in America. The best meet
ing ever given until this year was that Of
the Moissant aviators in Memphis. Tne
regular meeting lasted ten days. The
avlalors did not take in enough at the
gales to pay the running expenses.
The promoters of the Chicago meeting
are having the same experience. Mr.. Null
laney complains that the spectators dc
not come through the gate.
The only interesting feature IN avia-
tion, after one has seen a machine f1y. Is
the element OF danger Flying Is so SIM
pie that the spectacle of man goine
through the air Is no more interesting
| than is the flight of a bird.
The machines are simple. At best they
are mere kites with a motor. They pre-
sent nothing OF the complications OF the
fast-going automobile. There are nc
thousand and one valves. levers, gears
and tubes to puzzle the spectator and
give to the machine q color OF mystery
After one has seen a machine fly one
does not hurry to see a second flight. and
yet for all this the development OF tRe
flying machine Is the most marvellous
forward movement In mechanics since
the invention of movable type.

Hat Pins and Eyes.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

1t is reported that a New Haven man
recently had his eye put out by lady's 8
hat pin, which protruded from the side
Of the lid" sufficiently to connect with
any one occupying the same street car
seat with the owner OF the deadly orna-
ment. Whatever may be said in favor of
''milady's' hat ornament, a great deal OF
damaging testimony can be brought
against 1t, and it is reasonably certain
ti.at II II was an adaptation Of mere
man 1t would long ago have been forced
in.o the 'has-been" class. But woman.
with her supreme power, and her hat
pin make a combination difficult to de-
feat. Do you wonder?

Chicago. Sept. 2i.-Father Sherman
is known from coast 10 coast as Il lee
turer before Protestant audiences on
the beliefs of the Catholic church.
He was brought into wide publicity
in 1906. when he launched n movement
to lead an army OF United States
troops over the famous route his
father followed in his march to the
sea.
The plan was strongly opposed in
the South. Theodore Roosevelt. then
President, called the militant priest to
Washington and ordered him to aban-
don the plan. This was done.
During the Spanish-American War
he served as chaplain of the 4th Regi-
ment of Missouri Volunteers. After the
close of the campaign he remained in
