of Southern Pacific and the return of

There may be depression in some Of
the industrials which give employment
to the skilled artisan, but the condit on
does not apply to low-pa.d labor. The
demand for this class of workingmen
was never larger. and Is reported from
almost every part of the country. lmmi-
grafton was never on larger scale than
it has been this year, and already
reaches the grand total Of nearly 100000
since the 1st of January. Immense as
this figure may appear, the ohces OF i'm
migration agencies and steamship COM
panies are overwhelmed with applica-
tons from cities and areas in every state
in the Union for workmen. They are
wanted on farms and in construction
work-wanted by the hundreds Of thous-
ands in the aggregate.

Some Views About Bryan.
Some of the deep-sea thinkers nave
it that the President is quietly encourage
ing the political suicide of William Jeh-
nings Bryan by letting him have MS own
xhaf
way in every vagary that IS ueIsturine :,
and even encouraging fresh aoventurlns
foreign to his official duties Inc ueep-
sea thinkers argue among themselves ina !
the executive looks upon Bryan as ms
most dangerous rival for the next piesI
Dental nomination and that the surest
way to get rid of him is to let MIN nave
his own way-in the coarse old way OF
expression, to give him plenty or rope
and let him hang himself. This ram
bow vision supplies the dee-sea thinkers
with a subject for discussion, with the
ever present prospect of fatal admins
tration dissensions and possibly a nlaT ln
effect. There is no limit to the wan va
street imagination these mentally dis
turbing days of torridity.
A great many people In and about
Wall street would like to get good lead
as to what the outcome will be In
Mexico. The destruction of life and prop
erty goes on without interruption. and
the pressure for Intervention increases
continually. The reluctance of the ad-
ministration to assume police duties in
Mexico is not making hit with the VIOLA
tile element and spectators who have
interests south of the Rio Grande, but
the more sober-minded had rather the
Mexicans would establish what can pass
for a fairly stable government before
mixing in.
Formal official announcement has been

freight situation will remain precisely as
it was.
