Trifles sometimes indicate the drift
of tilings, particularly in politics.
Owing to a number of recent unim
portant oeurrences, the discussion of
Mr. Hrynn's future as a democratic
leader and possible presidential candi
date has been revived in the more
speculative section of the press. The
other day the Nebraska editor was di
rectly questioned by a Chicago inter
viewer ns to his attitude, and he was
distinctly noncommittal in his ex
pressions. lint there is an editorial in
the Commoner purporting to take the
public into Mr. Bryan's confidence, and
it is interesting to glance at its central
statement.
There is an air of extreme frankness
about it, but, after all, it does not tell
us anything definite. Mr. Bryan says
that he is not "planning" for another
presidential nomination. This is su
perfluous. The time for planning lias
not arrived. President' MeKinley's
second term is not yet two months old.
and the new congress will not convene
for several months. Mr. Bryan adds:
"If ever I become a candidate again it
will be because it seems necessary for
the advancement of the principles to
which 1 adhere, and that does not now
seem probable. I shall, however, take
an interest in politics for several years

SO, BOSS! SO!
yet, if 1 live, and can be relied upon to
support tho.e who as candidates advo
cate the democratic principles and
who can l>e trusted to enforce them if
elected."
It does not now "seem probable"
thiit Mr. Bryan's candidacy will be
necessary for the advancement of his
principles, but if the necessity should
arise and the party should knock at
Mr. Bryan's door he is not the man to
decline the burden of leadership. If
tiiis does not mean that Mr. Bryan is
willing, even anxious, to be a candidate
"for the sake of his principles" it
means nothing at all. and this alterna
tive is not reasonable.
But the necessity will not arise. The
d( mocratic party is drifting and show
ing no signs of reconciliation, but it is
almost certain that none of the issues
of the late election will survive the
year 190:!. Free silver is dead beyond
peradventure, and the question of im
perialism will be settled by the su
preme court. The Filipinos will be
pacified and headed toward substan
tial autonomy and independence. New
issues will doubtless arise, for stag
nation is not a condition familiar to
Americans, but they will call for new
leaders, and the democratic party is
vigorous enough to furnish them with
out galvanizing the political dead. Mr.
Bryan stood for a body of doctrines,
and he will disappear with it.—Chicago
Post.
DRIFT OF OPINION.
CTQuite some time has elapsed in
which Mr. Bryan has not asserted
that this prosperity which we are en
joying isn't real.—Albany Journal.
CMr. Bryan fears that the demo
cratic party will be republicanized.
Something on this order happened
last .November.—Baltimore American.
CThe president is talking about
marketing our surplus, not about al
lowing outside competitors to mar
ket their surpluses here if by so
doing they will interfere with the
home producer.—lndianapolis Jour
nal.
ETWhen Mr. McKinley became
president the deposits in all the
banks of the United States amount
ed to $1,(150,000,000. The last report
makes such deposits $2,750,00C,W',M), an
increase in available funds of 7o per
cent. Still, now and then a man de
clares that there is no prosperity
that, is real.—lndianapolis Journal.
ICllnving so signally failed to leap
into the presidency at a bound, Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, reaping wis
dom as the harvest of experience,
may conclude to make his next ap
proach l/,\ i lie slower but surer ap
proach of gradual steps, first the
governorship of Nebraska and next
the United States senate. The plan
has this virtue, that, though failure
of ambitious consummation come
again, the fall will be less bruising
because of reduced altitude of pre
cipitation. Cincinnati Commercial

' M'KINLEY'S LITTLE SPEECHES
I \\ liolexnme Kffeet of tin- Clilef Mug«
inti-ute'M Til IKM nith lite
As a maker of lit tie speeches that
reach the minds and the hearts of bin
I hearers, and produce a deeper and
more lasting effect than most longer
| efforts of the kind, President McKin
-1 ley is without a peer. On not a few
1 previous occasions he has shown hiin
i self to he possessed of the ability to
say much of the right sort in few
| words, and the conditions which con
front him everywhere on his present
t rip arc well calculated to develop still
! further the faculty which be possesses
|in so high degree, lie is always the
staunch put riot, 1 be cheerful opt i mist;
j but his optjnrism never drifts from its
1 basis of fact. He does not color his
! description of conditions; but in brief,
i forceful words, he brings out their
gratifying details and compels attcn
j tion to them even from those who are
inclined to take prosperity as a matter
! of course, worthy of no special notice,
and are ordinarily aroused fri tn ia
| difference only when conditions are,
jor threaten to become, awry. There
!is in his utterances not a tra«;e of
t boastfulness, not the slightest ten
dency to exaggeration; he appeals 10
common sense, to national pride, to
i the optimism of his normally consti
tuted fellow citizens. He points out
j the many reasons for rejoicing that
we have as individuals and as a na
tion; he proclaims his own gladness
because our affairs are as they are,
and asks his fellow citizens to be fflad
with him.
The effect of the president's little
speeches cannot but he wholesome.
He invigorates the feeling of patriot
ism and national pride in those who
hear him and in those who read what
he has said, and leaves thein with a
fuller realization of the fact that
American citizenship is a boon for
which all who enjoy it should be de
voutly thankful. He makes the heart
of the optimist to beat higher with
pride and joy in the present and with
confident hope for the future, and even
the pessimist who hears him must ex
perience a new sensation that is not
the less pleasing because of its nov
elty.
In these heart-to-heart talks with
his fellow citizens, President MeKin
ley reveals himself again to the masses
as the man whom those who have
studied him more closely know him
to be- patriotic, broad-minded, large
hearted, permeated with love of coun
try and of his fellow men, and finding
his greatest pleasure in their prosper
ity and the promotion of it.—Albany
Journal.
Ajruinnlilo !S'o Martyr,
There is nothing of the martyr in
Aguinaldo: indeed, nothing of the
fanatic. He is simply a politician of
the oriental type whose party has
been defeated in arms, but hopes to
be successful in otlice. As the United
States means to continue to hold the
Philippine. 1 } as possessions, its policy
will be to employ local talent in ad
ministration as long as that talent
continues trustworthy, and Aguinal
do will be trustworthy so long as it
is worth his while. We shall not be
surprised if Aguinaldo becomes con
spicuous as one of the agents we
shall employ to solidify our domi
nation. There are a good many peo
ple in this country who think that
the United States will grant absolute
independence to the Philippines, but.
these people are doomed to see their
opinion discredited. They will see
tranquillity restored in the Philip
pines under the American Hag as the
Filipinos adjust themselves to our su
premacy and our people adjust them
selves to a "colonial system."—Eos
ton Transcript.
tCMr. Bryan in substance says he
is out of it—unless, perchance, he
happens to be in it."The heretofore
cannot be recalled, and the hereafter
cr.niKt lie anticipated.'' The trouble
with Mr. Bryan's party is that its
hereafter is all heretofore its future
is behind it.—N. Y. .Mail and Ex-
P'vss.
If When Editor Bryan dons his
overalls and goes a-plowing on his
farm, or when he reaps his harvest
this year, there will be none that
will care to take pictures of him
and write syndicated articles u'uout
his activity.—Albuny Journal.
Why IMnah l'elt So Bad,
Not long ago a lieutenant in the
navy was ordered away on a three
years' cruise. The order had been
dreaded for weeks, and when it came
the young wife, who was to be left
in a Brooklyn flat with a baby and
a colored servant., was in despair.
She controlled her sorrow very
well, however, until the actual mo
ment of parting came, and then she
wept as fiipugh her heart would
break. The'cruiser was to leave the
navy yard early next morning, and
the lieutenant had gone to report for
duty.
11l the midst of her lamentations
the young wife heard a 'sniffling and
sobbing in the dining-room, and upon
glancing through the door she saw
Dinah, the colored maid, rocking her
body to and fro in a chair and weep
ing violently.
"Why, D-D-Dinoh, what's the
m-mattcr?" cried the mistress; "you
seem to t-t-take Mr. lllank's depart
ure as much to heart as 1 d-do."
" 'Deed 1 doesn't, Mis' Blank; 'deed
112 doesn't!" sobbed Dinah. "What, am
boderin' dis chile am dc fac' dat a
eullud gemman friend o' mine am
gwine sail hisse'f on dat same ole
cruisah!"
111 M Trip Awheel.
A devotee of the bicycle started
Southward on his wheel at the. begin
ning of winter. Several weeks after
ward he reached Florida none the
worse for liis journey.
"Do you mean to tell me." exclaim
ed the friend whom he had gone to
visit, "that you made the whole dis
tance by wheel?"
"Certainly," he replied. "When I
couldn't ride the machine 1 got off
and walked by it."
The reader will perceive that there
is more than one way to travel "by
wheel."—Youth's Companion.

A western correspondent sends 11s

few grains of salt as to the material
allegation contained therein:
A country customer had bought,
some fish at a village grocery store—
whether codfish, mackerel or herring
is not necessary for the purposes of
the story—and at her next visit to
the store she entered a complaint.
"They tasted," she objected, "ex

"I'm not surprised, ma'am," replied
the grocer. "Those fish were caught
