A POSTHUMOUS THEORY. Mr. Bryan thinks that the knell of the daily paper as a political factor has been tolled. He believes that political influence is forsaking the dailies and is being It is pathetically natural that For how can a great statesman behold his name treated by the vast majority of the daily press as appropriate matter for its obituary columns without feeling the sad knowledge creep over him that the day of that press's influence has | } waned? And how can he give nurture to the weekly | ¢ child of his own genius without being exalted by the| > joyous conviction that the fate of the nation will in future be settled in the columns of the weekly papers? But let us not scoff at the pathetic delusion of this Let us rather view with pitying sympathy any fond fancy that may lighten the toilings of this modern Sysiphus, laboriously rolling his ponderous silver stone up the steep slope of popular dis- Hlusionmént, only to have it hurtle down again, drawn usurped by the weeklies. Mr, Bryan should have evolved this idea. great and unfortunate man, by the force of public disapproval. Let us humor him and content ourselves with won- dering how much longer he can dodge the stone. *HORSE-SHOW STYLES. Park Row, New York.

Perhaps the most important development of the in- quiry is the disclosure of the Commissioner's reason for antagonizing the parlor match. Stated in Inspector Murray's words, it is “consideration for the women and children st home, who need protection” “Remember the loved ones at home;” The bomb may mangle them In election crowds and subway dynamite smite them when they cross the street and nothing be done about it, but against the perils of the parlor match in thelr homes they must and shall be protected.

Heewondered what she was thinking about al that moment. Perhaps of the sleigh ride they had taken together the evening before. He admitted to him- self that it was foolish to suppose that any girl enjoying the excitement of her sister's wedding should occupy her mind for a moment with the thought of a man she had never met previous to the wedding.

It was not altogether a tactful re-, mark and the girl did not know whether to be wholly pleased at the compliment to herself or to resent the perhaps im- plied slur at her sieter. “I think Annie {s the prettiest giri I ever say," she declared warmly. “She Was the lovellest creature I ever looked » at thls morning at the wedding." “Was she?” queried McAviney ab- cently. ‘To tell you the truth, I didn't look at her; I had no eyes for anybody but you.
