Feeling Public Pulse.

While it seems certain that
w. j. Bryan will not soon again
be called upon to lead the forces
of the Democracy, the following
letter, sent out to the old Bryan
Democrats throughout the coun-
try, indicates that the former is
keeping abreast with public SEN
timent and wishes to exert his
still great power in favor of real
popular demands, based on an in
vestigation of what the people
really want:
First What is the political
situation throughout the
country?
Second Who, in your
opinion, would be the most
available candidate to lead
the progressive forces ?
Third Suggest a plan to
arouse progressive Demo-
Gratis and get them to act be-
fore delegates are selected to
the next Democratic national
convention.
Mr.. Bryan is still and will long
continue to be a powerful factor
in the fortunes of the Democracy.
Like other great thinkers he liv-
ed ahead of his time and enunci-
ated doctrines which were scott
ed at by the politicians as popu-
listic and reactionary. Yet these
same doctrines have been appro-
priated and made use of in time
by high Republican national Of
ficers and have come to be re-
garded by the public as part of
the progressive necessities Of the
country Bryan was a political
evangel, a sower of the seed, and
his reputation, if not himself,
will reap the reward.

The gallinaceous tribe has its
aristocracy, too. Witness the
sale of six eggs at the Suns
wick Poultry farm of South
Plainfeld, N. j., some time ago,
for $125. The producer of those
eggs was a prize single-comb
White Orpington. May her
tribe never increase, at least for
egg consuming purposes. She is
a plutocrat of plutocrats.
The Democrats of the house, IN
caucus, have again given a good
account of themselves and DEM
onstrated a commendable sense
Of devotion to the public interest
by formally pledging themselves
to vote for Canadian reciprocity.
That the sentiment in favor Of
the reciprocity treaty was well
nigh unanimous was indicated
by the vote, 90 to %. The ma
jority of those few Democrats
who did not favor supporting the
treaty took their stand on the
ground that there was no occa-
sion to rush the Taft treaty
through without amendment be-
cause of the painstaking work of
tariff revision that soon would be
undertaken by a Democratic con-
gress. A few of the dissenters
were such in the interests of their
local constituencies who foresaw
some slight disadvantage to their
sections in the pending treaty.
But the vast majority of Demo-
cratic representatives viewed the
whole subject from q broad, pa
triotic standpoint, unblinded by
partisan advantage and unwarp-
ed by selfish considerations.
The support of the Democrats
insures the passage of the reci-
procity treaty in the house.
What its fate may be in the sem
ate is problematical.
