4 DEFuNCT ISSUE.

Chicago Tribune (repD: The free coin

adopted by twC-thirds vote. But IL would
have been defeated had 1t not received the
votes of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan
and Ohio delegates Long before 1900 gets
here it will be known whether those states
will vote again in national convention for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
Louisville Courier-Journal (demO: The
country wants rest from agitation and work
for the idle The supreme court of American
politics has passed on the issues. Now, the
people want u chance to work and make
some money. The man who seeks to renew
the proposition to deliver the country to
the mine owners is public enemy But,
seek as he may, the people will no longer
heed him. They will refuse to be "agi-
tated" by poweress agitators.
Chicago Times-Herald irepJ: Senator Dan

not end the agitation Of free silver was all
well enough as prediction piece OF
bravado-a sort of whstling to keep the
courage up--but when a national issue has
once been settled by the American people,
has in effect been stamped with their disap-
proyal no demagogue or agitator, no mat
ter who he is, can resurrect it.
Globe-Democrat Crep): A kind Of spas
modic agitation may be kept up, but an
other crusade like the one just ended is an
lllpOSSlDlllly. Inc opportunity ol SHNNItsS
that came last Tuesday was better than
any that can be expected to follow 1t. and
it lacked a good deal of being what was
desired. All things considered. therefore,
the outlook for free silverism is decidedly
discouraging, not to say hopeessly gloomy.
II is lost cause. with no visible prospect
of ever being anything else.
Baltimore Sun (demJ: The majority
against the free coinage OF silver is so
large and so decisive that the agitation for
the debasement OF the national currency
may now be expected to cease. Free coin

prospect of success, The politicians. there

Governor Drake has announced his
intention of calling the Iowa legislature
together in extra session this winter
to complete the unfinished work of re-
Vistng the code and making several
appropriations that have been rendered
necessary by emergencies The lcgis-

new code with full knowledge that it
would have to be reconvened. Extra
sessions of legislature are expensive

that Iowa will get its moneys worth

BRYAN'S FUTURE MISSION.

The late nopocratic candidate for the
future mission will be to give Ne
brasla laws that will prohibit ana pre-
vent the coercion of worllingmen by
their employers. In this, as in other
matters relating TO legislation. the de
funct recalls forcbly his striking re-
semblance to necessity, which is said To
know no law
Mr. Bryan is evidently unaware of
the fact that Nebraska has already on
its statute books laws against the
laws prohibiting trusts and Illegal com
hinations TO raise prices of cOmmodi-
ties. Section 5,7S1 of Cobbey's Crimi-
nal Code provides that "Any person who
shall by bribery attempt to influence
any elector of this state in giving his
vote or ballot or who shall use any
threat TO procure any elector 10 vote con
trary TO the inclination of such elector
or deter him from giving his vote or bal
lot. shall be fined in any sum not eX-
ceeding $500 and he imprisoned in the
county Jail not more than six months"
BY this law 1t will be noted every case
Of bribery, coercion or intimidation

Imprisonment and If any large employer
of labor should be convicted of whole

FOLLOW TOO CLOSELY.
The Disturbance of Business by Presi-
dcntint Campaigns.
a InnHrn

After every election OF president an agita-
tion is started for lengthening the term OF
office of the natipas chief magistrate, for the
reason that presidential campaign is dis
tracing and depressing to business. This is
always true OF d presidential contest, but
the interference with industry has been par
ticularly marked In the campaign just
closed, The usual uncertainty attending the
outcome OF a national election is sufficient
to cause men of capital to hesitate before
putting their money into new enterprises or
cnlarging existing rnes. The disturbance to
business has been unusually severe during
the last summer -bt tcause the issue involved
was one of tremendous Importance TO busl-
ness interests. But the difference between
this and other campaigns is simply one of
degree. With every. recurring presidential
election business must suffer more or less.
These contests follow each other too
closely. II elections took place less ire-
Guently business would be subject to fewer
disturbances from this cause. AN years is
not too long a term for the president OF the
United States to serve. especially II II be
understood that he shall retire at the end
OF that time and not seek reelection to
the office. six-year term would give two
presidential elections In twelve years, In
stead OF three, now four-year term is
too short In the early days of the republic
tho objections we're not great to the
shorter term. Now the very cost OF prosi-
dental campaigns is an argument against
having them more frequently than Is neces-
sary TO enable the government TO keep In
touch with the people

LAUs DEO! IT is DONE.

John GraauIeaf Whittier.
II is done!
Clang Of bell and roar of gun
Send the tidings up and down,
How the bclfrlcs rock and reel!
How the great guns, peal on peal
Fling the joy from town TO town!
Ring. o bells,
Every stroke cNutinE tells
OF the burial hour of crime.
Loud and long, that all may hear,
Ring for every listening ear
OF eternity and Time!
Let us knccl:
Gods own voice is In that peal,
And this spot is holy ground.
Lord forgive us, What are we
That our eyes this glory see,
That our ears have heard the sound
For the Lord
on the whrlwind Is abroad;
In the earthquake He has spoken:
He has smitten with His thunder
The iron walls asundcr,
And the gates of brass are broken.
Did we dare,
In our agony Of prayer,
Ask for more than, He has done?
When was ever His right hand
over any time or land
Stretched as now beneath the sun?
II Is douci
In the circuit Of the sun
Shall the sound thereof go forth.
It shall hid the sad rejoice,
1t shall give tho dumb voice,
1t shall belt with joy the earth
Blottcd out!
All within and all about
Shall frcshor life begin;
Fr"yr breathe the universe,
As it rolls its heavy curse
on the dead and buried sin!

The mention, in Postmaster General Will
sons report. of the dcsirability but enormous
cost of pneumatic tubes for mail service in
cities suggests a scientific dream. As is
we'll known, the sewers of Paris are great
underground galleries, the main ones large
enough to be traversed by men in boats,
and in them electric wires are hung and all
necessary tubes arranged. If that could be
done in Paris, as il was, many years ago,
with the old-fashioned, costly appliances,
why not much more readily in Philadelphia,
with all the advantages of modern economi-
cal methods, and in subsoil SO well adapted
to the work we have here? There is no
difficulty in conceivng harmonious system
of sewers under this city, fulfilling the same
functions as those of Paris solving the prob
lem of overhead wires by taking them all
underground, carrying gas, water pneu-
matte and any other desired pipes and tubes
in a position where they would be out of
the way and yet would be always within
reach, and there would be no difficulty in
constructing the same without disturbing
the surface. except perhaps for the smaller
branches 1t is only question Of money.
Some day. no. doubt, the city will have the
money and will see its way clear to make
