Mr. Bryan Would Not Interfere. “Mr. Bryan {s entitled to the thanks of every law-abiding person for the explicit manner In which he puts himself on record as to the re‘aticnssip of states and the gen- eral government. In his formal acceptance of the silver democratic nomination, Mr. Bryan warns the country of what he would do under certain conditions. In his letter of acceptance he says: “Our revolutionary fathers, tendencies toward centralization, as well as the dangers of disintegration, guarded against both, and national safety, as well as domestic Security, is to be found in the careful observance of the limitations which they impose. It will be noticed that, while the United States guarantees to every state a republican form of government and is empowered to protect each state against trvasion, it is not authorized to interfere in the domestic affairs of any state except upon appi.cation of the legislature of the lication of the execu- ture cannot be con- This provision rests upon the sound y that the people of the state, acting through their legally chosen representa- tives, are, because of their more intimate acquaintance with local conditions, better qualified than the President to judge of the fearing the Necessity for eral assistance.

It neaus more. All the declarations that Mr. Bryan could possibly make cannot affect the past. History has been made and not be disturbed or distorted by cam- paign language. Mr. Bryan's utterances are interesting mainly because they fore- shadow som> of the things Mr. Bryan Would do if the power to do them was placed in his hands. It should be thor- evghly understood that Mr. Bryan has put himself on the Altgeld side of the contro- versy and that he himself has in effect declared that should he become President end should there be another such series of disturbances 4s alarmed the country in the summer of ISM{ he would permit lawless cembinations, if the gcvernor of the state sympathized with them or was afraid tc which, ri call for istance, to work their will un- disturbed. Given a gevernor who is on their side and they may do what they please, even to the extent of blocking the mails and interstate commerce, of terror- izing a state, and of destroying life and rty. Mr. Bryan's frankness is not but it will surely be appreciated Americen citizen who respects the Ameri n flag and the principies it rep- resents. + —____ Will the Promises Be Kept? This is the day when the Eckington and Belt Street Ratiroad Companies should have at least two or three compressed-air cars on their tracks. The objection has, of ecurse, been raised by the companies that the term “begin to equip” does not really mean that cars should be operated by this date. The public is not Mkely to dispute over technicalities if {t discovers a genuine disposition on the part of the combined corporations to compiy broadly. with the provisions of the law that compels the adoption and use of a suitable mechanical motor. The Star is willing—for a while at leasi—to believe that a sincere effort is being made to obey the statute. The move- ment toward obedience is, it is true, delib- erate, but it has the appearance of being real. There is no reason why compressed- air motors should not succeed here. Nor is there any reason why the Eckington-Belt Company should not procure a sufficient supply of the best motors manufactured. he Eckington and Belt concerns hav: limes apparently delighted in tantalizing and deceiving the public. The present Management repudiates all responsibility for what has happened and promi: to do the fair thing. We shall soon see what the most recent promises are worth. see The coming appearance of Mr. Bryan at baseball park might be enlivened 1f some common ground for discussion could be found for him and that spirited debater, Mr. Connie Mack of the Pittsburg team. ——_-+ «+ Seven Chiramen have just been arrested in New York for violating thé*Chinese ex- clusion act.

Mr. Bryan's declaration against a second term in the White House is intended espe- cially for the eyes of the leaders of his purty. He wants their most active and effective support in this race, and he appeals to them adroitly on their selfish side. Politicians are very human, as Mr. Bryan knows, and there are conditions under which they work more willingly than under others. ‘As adroit, however, as this appeal is, it is hardly likely to accomplish all that Mr. Bryan desires. The men to be reached are all older and more experienced in affairs than he is, are observing to an unusual degree, and have spent months to his hours ground this capital. They know, from close otservation, all the influences that sur- round an occupant of the White House, all THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1896—TEN PAGES, of the temptations that are spread in his way, and how events sometimes shape themselves to control the very strongest men once they reach that attractive eleva- tion. These men, therefore, are not likely to be spurred to any extra exertion because of this promise of Mr. Bryan not to be in their way in the presidential race of 1900. Without doubting the sincerity of the reso- lution he announces, they will try him by the rule of conduct generally obtaining among men, and conclude—and doubtless very justly—that, under pressure, he will ot prove superior te the rule. A great many wise and eminent men think there ought to be a constitutional prohibition against a second presidential term, and for the same reason that Mr. Bryan in his letter gives. The office of President is one of great power, and the exercise of power in a free country is a very delicate task. It is nevertheless true tkat some of the most valuable services performed for the country are to the credit of Presidents who were indorsed by the people at the polls for a second term. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe ard Jackson share in this honor. Mr. Lin- ccln’s renomination was a necessity, and his taking off an unspeakable calamity. His second term, there is every reason to Lelieve, would, had it been completed by him, have yielded the country priceless results. General Grant’s second term was pot a success, but his renomination had been accomplished without his having to so much as lift his finger. General Harrison was easily renominated, and thousands of men still lament the fact that he was not re-elected. Mr. Bryan, if he reaches the White House, will not, as an occupant of the President's chair, be exempt from the ills or the influ- ences that Presidents are heir to. On the contrary, it is nothing in derogation of him to say that of all the men ever sitting there he will be the pet object of their attack. ‘The head of an aggressive coalition, pledged to policies designed to revolutionize the government, and certain if inaugurated to plunge everything into confusion and doubt; surrounded by Heutenants of ardent loyalty to him and to their common purpose; barely turned forty in 1900—a time of life when the great majority of men are just begin- ning public careers; will this man be per- mitted by his followers to retire at the close of one term? Not much! The machine —of his own construction, and powerful throughout the country—would put him up egain at all hazards, and in worshipfui Gisregard of his own promises and protests. But so far as the people in general are concerned, Mr. Bryan's personal ambition as regards a second term is of little conse- quence in comparison with the policies he represents. The question is the cost of one term of such a President. Can the country stand that? —___+ +_-—____ Mr. Palmer has a leng, hard slege with the photograpber before him if he intends to compete with the other candidates in getting his picture In the papers. —— + 02 The hope that the coal! barons would at last get so much money as to become In- different to its attractions seems utterly without foundation. —_ + 0m —__ It remained for Mr. Sewall to discover that there really can be such a thing as an embarrassment of riches in American politics. —__ + ee —___ There is yet time for some party to come forward and score a hit by declaring for the free and unlimited mining of coal. ———>-© <= ‘There were only one hundred and twenty- five men at work today on the new city post-ofiice building.
