ANOTHER BRYAN vAGARY.

Colonel Bryan has a scheme by which he hopes to bring peace to the world. The ambition is 2 worthy one, but the plan proposed is as chimerical as his plan was to have the United States adopt free coinage of silver at the ratio of six teen to one or to have the govern ment own the trunk railroad lines and the states own the branch lines.
 As outlined by the secretary of state to the senate committee on for eign relations, the plan proposes the negotiation of treaties by which all estions, even those of national ho-or or vital interests" shall be sl limited to an international board f inquiry and the disputing coun- r; $ shall agree not to make prepa- ons for war for a period of six IT nths or a year after the row be- < IS.
 The new secretary of state fails to understand that wars no longer are matters of choice forced by the peo- ples of the countries involved, and

the people, inasmuch circumstances. take small account of treaties.
 Then there are things that no na- ton can afford to arbitrate. Now and then we see little country fly at the throat of a giant, knowing full well the result cannot be other than disastrous. Such were conditions when the Boers of the Transvaal de fled the power of Great Britain, such is the condition of Montenegro re- garding Scutari Questions of nation al honor, of national existence, 1t may be, cannot be arbitrated.
 There is another phase of it. The United States is the great producing nation of the world, the richest na- ton under the sun III natural re- sources Her wealth is estimated at one hundred and twenty billion dol lars and the wealth of her nearest competitor is estimated at eighty bill lions. She has the Atlantic to guard one coast an dthe Pacific as bar rier against aggression on the other. Between the two, she produces prac- tically everything that humanity can demand in the way of necessities and luxuries
 She Is the envy of the rest of tile world, and as has occurred in nearly all cases referred to The Hague where the interests of this country were a party of the issue, arbitration has returned a verdict against us There is no likelihood that the atti- tude will be changed for long time
 There is still another phase of il that Mir. Bryan has not considered The United States has the Monroe doctrine to maintain and therefore must remain to a great degree. re- sponsible for the conduct of the Latin American republics Should arbitration treaties be negotiated with those countries, this nation would be subject to the whim of every little military despot who might come into power, and the old system of throwing American citizens in jail and allowing them to rot there would be in vogue again.
 England made her citizens respect ed throughout the world when sh, sent Lord Napier with a strong arn.S' into Abyssinia to liberate Captain Cameron, who had been thrown into dungeon by King Theodore. That was not a matter for arbitration.
 Mir Bryan is an unsafe secretary of state and is aiding in the down fall of the democratic party.

EUROPEAN WAR PROBABLE.

The situation in Europe is exceed iHgly critical. Montenegro insists that Scutari, gained at enormous cost of treasure and life, shall be held at all hazards. Austria announc- os that there must be an immediate evacuation and if the great powers do not join in the coercion, Austria will undertake the task alone.
 Austria belongs to the triple alli- ance, composed of herself, Germany and Italy. The triple entente is com posed of Great Britain, Russia and France. These six powers make the concert supposed to dominate the politics of Europe. The triple alliance and the triple entente are not friendly except when circum- stances make them so Germany is the most hated of the powers, the Kaiser having used the prestige of his great army to bluff France in 1905 and to bluff Russia in 1910. The position of France now is differ ent. Sc is the position of Russia. The English navy never was so strong. The queen of Italy is the daughter of the Montenegrin king, but family ties now cut little figure in international affairs. If the sen timent of the Italian people serious h oppose retention of Scutari by Montenegro, the government will join Austria and Germany in the protest
 But back of it all lies the tremen- dous pan-Slavic sentiment The Rus sians, three-fourths of the Austrians and the Balkan nations are of Slavic blood. Against 100000 Germans in the Austro- Hungarian empire are 26,OOO,00O Slavs whose sympathies are with Servia and Montenegro. Can the 100000 continue to rule the dual kingdom?
 While no one can predict what di- klomacy, coupled with finances, may accomplish, it looks very much as though Austria must recede from her position or involve Europe in war. If war should come, it is not Improbable that her Slay subjects would dismember the Austro-Hun- Earian empire.
 Also it is possible that to insure peace, the great powers will stand together and compel the evacuation sf Scutari by King Nicholas.

frankly told the newspaper men so. They took him at his word, so far as making copy went About the same time Martin of Texas, made his advent into the national capital as member of congress. He cele brated his coming by blowing out the gas, and was thenceforth doom ed. A Tennesseean told in the con gressional directory of how much he was worth, which was a goodly sum, and the fact that he was descen- dant of Oliver Cromwell and that he had married into one of the most aristocratic families in the south. He was made the butt of the joke ar tist
 During the last congress, Adam Brown Littlepage, of West Virginia, was the man who furnished the fun, all because he had placed in the di- rectory a sketch of himself that was a fulsome eulogy of the things he had done in his life. He really was q good man, and knew 1t, and thought he should tell the fact to every one else. He was the subject of so many paragraphs that he was retired from congress by his con stituents at the first opportunity.
 This year there are many conspicu- ous egotists, but the one who is now at the head of the list is Senator William Howard Thompson, the new democratic senator from Kansas. A congressional directory of the Sixty third congress has just been pub lished, and Senator Thompson begins his obituary" for such it is, by tell ing that he is the youngest senator ever elected from Kansas; also that he is one of the youngest men in the senate. He then tells of his activi- ties for the past thirty-three years, compliments himself in the conspic- uous ability with which he has dis charged every trust confided to him, and predicts that he will so discharge the duties of his present high posi- ton as "to reflect honor" upon the state of which he is one of the rep resentatives.
 The new senator also shows his democracy by shoveling the food in to his mouth with his knife and the fact that he does not belong to the common herd by appearing in even ing clothes before six o'clock, or be- fore noon, if the notion strikes him
 Also there is the autobiography of William H. Murray, (Alfalfa BilD of Oklahoma, who also is a man with a remarkable career; as he describes it It is such a bunch of statesmen to whom the country has confided its destinies, though their influence is somewhat negatived by men like Oscar Underwood, who admits of no such wonderful achievements in his record.
