FOR NETN0-BNTT. Dickinson, in Washington Post. As all roads used to lead to Bome, so do all political diseussions in the United States lead to the Presidency. The approaching congressional cam paign is concede-ly fraught with un usual importance to every -available presidential candidate in both parties. Republican leaders are about agreed that the result of the struggle next November for control of the House of the Sixtieth Congess will determ ine whether their leader in 1908 shall be a representative of what for lack of an apter term is called Roosevelt radicalism or whether he shall repre sent that conservatism that attually or nominally is opposed to the exist ing state of things at the White House. Democracy's Advantage. In an important sens.e the der,-c racy is as deeply concerned over the outcome of the contest between these (ipposing forces in the oipposition par ty as republicanism itself, for the democracy will be governed almrost as largely in 1908 as it was in 1904 by the action of the republicans in cho>os ing between the,e two extremes of pr> litical thou,ht. To the (xi(r.t that the democrats at this juncture are not so acuately threatc:r.:d with dan gerous interrjal diorders as are the republicang, they have a deided ad vantage in the task aheai f,! aelet ing a standard bearer for the next great fight. Then, again, there xsi tion is more advantageous from an other viewpoint. There is no tre mendous ecxnom,ic or fiscal issue like that of the tariff to distract their cour.cils and confuse their judgments. Now that free silver i-s as lead as African slavery, the demrocracv is united once more on all the great questions that divide the elect,rate into two partie:s, and its rank and file can be more easily recone-ilcd to the p)arty ledership commisiorned by its chosen representativ.r ir converti'n than can that of the reublir-ans un lr''.s tlhe deroeraey dos&! that which Grait once predicted could allways be dfepenlded uipoln which was that "the deioeraey invariably made a 11---d fool of itmelf at the. right time.'' Bryan, Hearst or Bailey. From still another point of view, the democraty ,.-een in better shape at thj present moment for the big fight two years henee than do the repub licans and that is that thus early in the preliminary skirmish no mnove ments of mystery as to the selection of the leader is going on. Only three names are at. this time being serious ly considered by the masses and the leadera of the party. They are Wil liams Jennings Bryan, William Ran dolph Hearst, and Joseph Weldon Bailey. Mr. Bryan'g candidacy, of course has beeomne a fixed thing in the politics of this day as was that of JIlenry Clay, amnong the republicans, t wenty years aigo. Tfhe Nebraskan has writ ten a Jet ter from the jungles of' India to a f riendl sayinrg that he would he governed by ci rcumnstances in thew ma tter of againi ask inrg for hais party's nominrat ion. Theio onily other tinrg he could hav 5e! 1 saiis that inl no circunmstance wourld lbe aecept a thirdi nomination. U knee Mr. Biryani may he considlered in the race for his party's leadership. I )v Lancey N icoll, of New York, who was in Washington last week, dleclared thait he was for Bryan against all comners, aund int imiated1 that whatever influence may be cointrolledl by Altoni B. Parker repiresenits any thing of moment in thei party, then it follows that at least a portion of the conservative elements which f'orced the uninspiring New York jurist upon the Southern democrats in 1904 will throw its influence to the Nebraskan whom these influences once fuought desperately. Nothing stranger t han thIis couild hapjpen in A merican pol iiiis; no'th1inrg stranger has happ,ened unh-iss it lie the indlorse ment by a fael ion of thle demnocracy oif thre noinailt ion oft Hobrace G reeley. Hearst As a Factor. But it is by no means certain that even with the support of conservative influences whicb lie has niever had be fore Mr. Bryan could sweep the next demnocratie national convention off its feet as lie did in 1806 and again in 1900. If Mr. 11earst shall be elected /governor of Newy York the actual arithmnetic of tIhe sitmuation would be agaiinst Bryan more thain any other prospective cand(idaft(e. Hearst would be enabled to enter thIe conv'ent ion with a delegate's at rengthm second to nobody's and should Senator Bailey develop the following iat the Souith whicoh it Is thought his avowed can didney wvould deOveopI, it is not at all Improbable that the surprising spec t'ace would be presented of Mr. "Bryan being third in the rance in the Important, matter of instructed (de10 gates. In such a situation it is con ceivable tat the convention wW be de&doeked as eiely and for 4 long s"peuiod as any national pot cal gathering of reent flow.. In spite of the plain facts of hi tory against Mr. Bryan, he still h suffleient following to make him fo midable in democratie convention His followers take not note of the p thetie experiences of Clay and Blain than whom as a popular leader he r sembles more than does any man < bis time. They were circumstaneA about as he. In their respective pa ties there was just enough unyieldit opposition to defeat them at the poll Prejudices of the kind that Brys has to combat and which Clay an Blaine wore out their lives comba ing are handed down from father I son. There probably still are hundrei of thous.ands of democrats in tt United States who believe that Br an's election to the presidency woul mean ruin to the country and in spit of every argument that might b brought to bear upon them to th con:rarv they could not be convinceA But this element would not have th same personal prejudices against eitt er Hearst or Bailey. Other element of course. might aswert themselvE agai'st the candida:v of either an continue to call themselves democrat. just as the hundreds of thousands o democrats who in both Bryan cart paigns voted against him continue t call themselves democrats. Bailey Growing Fast. Mr. Bailey's candidacy is as yet un formed, and of course, unavowtr That he will be drawn into the corn test, however, there are many reason to believe. Judge Parker's earnes if not impassionate appeal severa weeks ago, to the Southern demoe racy to assert its right to the part; leadership was not made without du reflecti,n or without wise counsel The Texan has been growing fast oi the nation within the past few month Newspapers of great influence tha had fallen if,to the habit of ridiculin him. now Fpeak of Mr. Bailey wit respeet and treat him as one of th mi of large eapacity an] discern merit in national affairs. Texas is a more irnportr.nt Stat than Nebraska. and the democrat weit hysterieally to that sagebrus Thus geographical consideration wil cut little figure against Mr. Baile; from getting the delegations of sev eral Southern States there is n doubt at all. Certainly Texas woul, support him with wild enthusian Mississippi, the State of his birtl could be counted upon. So coul< Louisiana, aceqrding to the admif sion of numerous politicians in tha State. Mr. Bryan has never beej strong in Georgia, Alabama or Flori da, and a Southern man strong): backed quite probably could beat the Nebraskan for the delegations fron those States. Even Virginia migh fall into line against B3ryan andl i favor of Bailey. Should Mr. Bailey secure the dele gations from no other States thai those mentioned, his instructe st rength could he used] as a nuelen aro,undl which to organize a powerfu aniti-Bryan party. But the same ini Ilhienuce which would give him the States namned] undoubtedly would be powerful in other States of the Souti and Wet The East, too, would shar< in the movement, andl whether or no the TIexan should enlist suifTeien streungth to assure his own nominatio] he wouldl have eno.ugh to dlefeat Bryai u,nd~er the t wo-thirds rule that has been rigidly maintained by democrati< national conventions from the incep WI Three Lows Newt Id tion of nominating conventios. a some Sags in Bryia's Mh, i- As to who would inherit the )lley following nobody could prqdiet, s- Hearst of courie, would get some of Ls it. But Mr. Hearst might be strong r- enough in instructed delegatios to S. make a combination with the Bailey I- managers against Mr. Bryan. Thus. e, in any event, the Nebraskan probably e- will find that be will not have as f smooth sailing in the next democratic d convention as his idolators at this r- time seem to think be will have. How ig ever. when he has had time to study . the field at elose range after his re n turn home next month be doubtless d will proceed to form combinations of t- his own. And then about the live 0 liest democratic polities this genera tion of voters have -seen will begin to Is shape up. WHITE MAN LYNCHED BY LOUISIAV(A MOB. t Robert T.

To ascertals whether communication by wireless telegraphy can be had with submerged submarine.boats-that is, whether the water can be made a medium of transmission of waves,of wireless $elegraphy-important experl i ments will soon be made at Newport, R. L. by order of the Navy depart ment, under the direction of Command er Albert Gleaves of the torpedo sta tion, says a Newport special dispatci to the New York Herald. As the tests will be novel In every way and as the results sought foi would be of great sei4lce the experi ments will be watched with much in, terest. Either the Shark or the Porpoise will be used for the experiments. The ve sel will be fitted with a transmitting apparatus similar to that used for send. Ing through the air, and with a lom aerial from which the current will x projected. The apparatus regularly it use at the torpedo station will-,be em, ployed for receiving. No attempt will be made at first tc send messages from the shore to the submerged boat, for it is believed i1 the water is found to be a satisfactory conductor of the waveb they can be transmitted either way. Some experiments have already beev tried. Operators at the torpedo statioz recently switched off their aerial and yet heard and read very clearly mes sages sent from a Fall river line steam boat off Point Judith. They believe the waves of electricity were transmitted through the water and the ground tc the station. PISTACHIOS IN AMERICA. SeedIng Planto Are to Be Cultivated In Colorado. It will not be long before the young women who delight to make candles for the visiting young men will be able to add to their home products the ex pensive and highly prized pistachio cream, which Is the pride of Maillard and Huyler in New York and all the other great candy makers of America, says a Denver special dispatch to the Chicago Record-Herald. And this is why the pistachio nut, the choicest and most costly that reaches the American market, is to be grown in Colorado, it having been dis covered that a profitable rate of pro duction can be had in New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and southern Nevada. Having learned that pistachios grow wild In central Asia, where the winters are quite severe, the promoters of the plant introduction garden of Chico, Cal., with the co-operation of the office of seed and plant introduction and dis. tribution at Washington, have grown a large number of seeding pistachios, and these will be distributed among the various localities where the nut may be grown, Colorado coming In for a considerable share. The pistachios grown in California are of excellent color and favor, and It has been ascertained that nuts of simi lar nature thrive better in Colorado than in California and at maturity are of superior quality. One of the first of the Colorado pistachio orchards will be established In the San Luis valley, an other will be near Longmont, while still another will be planted In the Boulder creek valley. A.
