Bryan and Patronage. statement that he has not promised places for support in this cam- paign i worthy of credit without any reservation: But it is at the same time true that, if elected President, he will be under a greater variety of embarrass- ments in dealing with patronage than any other President ever was. If Mr. Bryan were simply the nominee of the democratic party, running on a plat- form of well-defiped and generally recog- nized demécratic principles, a forecast of the men who would surround him in office and assist In shaping policy would not be ditticult. The real democratic leaders are well known, as are real democratic princi- ples. It would be an entirely safe assump- tion In those circumstances that he would call the strongest men in the party around him, and that harmony on the large lines would prevail. But such will not be the situation in the event of Mr. Bryan's election. He cannot properly be called the democratic nominee. The democrits simply ‘found im first.” ‘They met in advance of the populists and Silverites, and put him upon a platform framed upon lines so alluring that the other fellows felt impelled to indorse the action taken. Mr. Bryan, therefore, is the nominee of a coalition—the candidate of the dtscontented. And, if elected, he will owe his success to that coalition, in the forming of which the democracy will simply, have taken a part This is the cause of the uneasiness that prevails concerning the men likely to sur- round Mr. Bryan in the event of his reach- ing the White House, and accounts for the stories of bargains and promises, and the denials of them, now current in the news- papers. That all those, of whatever-party. assisting in his election, will, in the day when he shall come into his kingdom, pre- sent themselves for some kind of recogni- tion and reward, may be put down as cer- tain. The cry of the hour, that all is for the cause and nothing for individuals, will serve the rurpeses of a cry and no other. Human nature is much the same at all times, whether engaged in the reform busi- or in some other business. Given an enormous winning, like that of the power and patronage and prestige of the Presi- dency, and the demand for a fair division of it among all who have helped bring it atout Is a natural consequence. Would Mr. Bryan be able to resist such a demand? Would he undertake to do so? And if he were to undertake it, and succeed temporart what would the witimate re- sult probably be? History shows that the worst governmental convulsions have grown out of the division of the winnings of coalitions. There is not a more difficult job for any man. Some of the ablest and most experienced men have failed at !t. Men at such times insist on being taken at their own valuation rather than at that of the executive, and the bitterest crimina- tions and recriminations result. It is nothing to the point that Mr. Bryan is free at this time from personal promis to this man or to that. porting him are known. Gov. Altgeld is a politician, and is not likely to seek to hide his light under a bushel if Mr. Bryan be- comes President. He will want to have a finger in the pie, and will manage to insert at least one. The same is true of others, including even Mrs. Lease, who will stump the west r the c ition ticket. The ques- tion at issue, therefore, is not as to whether Mr. Bryan as a candidate is carrying weight for promises made, but whether as Pres!- dent he would reward those who had helped to elect him. We may be certain that they will expect somethirg on their own per- sonal account. Ss Those who are sup- ee To Improve the Public Schools. In one of the news columns of this is- sue of The Star will be found a propo- sition interesting to every Washingtonian who is concerned as to the welfare of the public schools in the District of Columbia. "The tdea had {ts local origin in the ways and means committee of the Board of School Trustees and has received the ap- Proval of the entire Board. For a com- paratively small sum it will be possible to give an annual exhibition of the work done in the public ools. To some ex- tent this was done at the Teachers’ Bazaar last winter, but many varleties of schooi work could not jg there displayed. So great was the p ar interest in such of the sclool work as was shown in the ba- there is reason for believing that and guardians would appreciate an annual exhibition just as much as the pu- Pils would. The Board of Trustees has therefore come to the conclusion that a yearly aggregation of the best work in the various departments—appropriately dis- played in a suitable hall—would assist ma- terlaily in that continual betterment of Washington's schools which should be the main object of all whe are officially or through any other cause interested in local education. That the District Commission- ers will at once see the necessity for such an exhibit he Board would like to make is reasonably certain; and whea the Com- missioners and the School Board join their forces next winter Congress 1s quite likely to capitulate as to this particular item in the appropriation bill. ——++o With Mr. Sewall and Mr. Reed tn the field there is a strong probability that there will be a presiding officer from Maine some- where in the Capitol. So Mr. Watson and Mr. Sewa! It is the Thomsonian theory that peace ts the happy, natural state of man. Mr. Thomson, bowever, was probably unac- quaintod with poiitics, and he certainly never had experience with any such politi- cal situation as prevails in the United States at this time. Peace as between the principal political parties has never been Fossible, but this year there is antagonism and strife almost without end within each Separate and distinct party organization. Especially mixed up is the situation in the combined democratic and populist parties; they have nominated Mr. Bryan for Presi- dent, but they failed to agree about the vice-presidency, so the democratic conven- withdrewal of either Watson or Sewall. Without this there cannot be anything like unanimous fusion of populists and demo- crats on any electoral ticket. It may be taken for granted that Mr. Sewall is not at all inclined to get out of the race. He Was nominated by the democratic national convention and is not likely to decline the honor. It is certain thdt Mr. Watson will not retire. He is not of the retiring kind. Wher he starts out to secure an office he pursues it with unwearying persistency and will not be convinced until the last ballot is counted that the job has gone to some other man. Mr. Watson is very emphatic in his denunciation of the democratic man- agement and of Mr. Sewall. He insists that the democratic leaders lack patriotism be- cause they do not hasten to dismiss Mr. Sewall. He accuses Mr. Sewall of selfish- ness because that gentleman will not step aside to promote the interests of populism and the personal welfare of Mr. Watson. Up to this time Mr. Sewall has, so far as the public is aware, ignored the existence of Mr. Watson, either as an individual or as“a competitor in the vice-presidential business. That he will take Mr. Watson seriously is quite improbable. He will doubtiess keep on running for the vice- presidency, just as he might even had Mr. Watson never been born. In this he will Frobably be supported by those of his po- litical admirers who, through long experi- ence, have reached the conclusion that a campaign without a large and easily-tapped barrel is a complete failure. Mr. Sewall’s barrel—as yet understood to be tightly hooped and headed—is, like Mr. Hobart’s barrel, temptingly large. Mr. Watson has no barrel. But he has lungs and a news- paper. The warfare between the Georgia populist and the Maine democrat may therefore be expected to continue until the polls cloce in November next. For Verdant Wheelmen. The bicycle rider who was injured in a collision near Ninth street and Pennsylva- nia avenue and who declined to make 4nown his identity because, as he put it, he was ashamed to have his friends know that he—fifty years old—wes riding a wheel, probably did not say what he meant to say; certainly not what he ought to have said. If there was anything to be ashamed of it was the rider's unskillful- ness and the lack of judgment which im- pelled him to risk his life and the lives of others by wobbling along a busy thor- ovghfare. Very rarely indeed does a capable wheelman have any trouble with other occupants of our highways. The folks who figure in collisions are, as a rule, elther verdant cyclists or careless boys or girls who have as yet little or no idea as to the extent of their responsi- bilities in life. The unknown semi-cente- narian and all the other would-be riders who have not yet learned how to control their wheels should refrain from prac- ticirg on the streets and avenues where traffic 1s at all heavy. There is no rea- son why any man or woman who rides & bicycle well should be ashamed of that fact. _—— Safety im Railroad Travel. wspapers generally are saying some pointed things about the causes which made possible that awful railroad collision in the Atlantic City meadows. The best sugges- tion yet made as to remedial and preventa- tive measures is that advocated by The Star —the abolition of track-crossings at grade. That the companies concerned wiil take up that proposition seriously is not expected; very few of the powers in railroad manage- ment move on the lines of real and broad economy; they make what they deem rea- sonable provision for the public welfare and the stockholders’ dividends and are tolerably content. Distant signals—a mile from the crossing—might not have been of much use last Thursday, because one engineer disre- garded a signai which was a thousand feet from the crossing, but a regulation compel- ling all trains to come to a full stop before crossing the tracks of another road woulda have been obeyed by custom and instinct. ——- 2 0e ‘The efforts of the Bryan managers to get up a demonstration for him at McKinley's own home is a reminder of the manner in which Mr. Hanna went avout doing mis- sionary work on the stamping grounds of divers favorite sons. 2 eo (C.
