Ii has been pointed out frequently
that il takes genius 10 accept defeat
gracefully-nuch more genius in fact
than il does TO bear yourself nobly in
victory.
1t has been pointed out also that Mr..
Bryan does not know how 10 accept his
defeat in this accomplished manner. II

break out in public speech within a
week Of his crushing defeat 1t did not
show courage, for any one can make a
speech a. any time who has been msk-
ins item to number 539 at the rate Of
six and seven day.
Bryan does not seem 70 comprehend
that the nation has just said IL does no;

ming, and his sympathies have been
manifestly with the prosecution. In fact
1t is believed that the case would other
wise have been abandoned long ago.
The district attorney has been acting
under direct orders from the depart
ment of justice from the beginning, and
it is seldom that the attorney general OF
the United States takes such an inter
est in the prosecution in the district
courts.
Mt. Chapman's case is test Behind
him and involved with him are Il. D.
Haveneyer, president; J. Z. Searle. Sec
rotary of the Sugar Trust; E. J. Ed
wards, correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, and John S. Shriver, CORE
spondent of the New York Mail and Ex-
press, who are indicted for an offense
similar to that of Mr.. Chapman, COM
mitted at the same time, and under the
same circumstances They have not
been tried because the district attorney
preferred TO wait until the supreme
court passed upon the constitutionality
of the law, which requires all persons
to answer questions that are asked by
congressional committees. As soon as
the decision in the Chapman case is
rendered next Monday the other defend
ants will be called to trial and they will
also undoubtedly be committed TO jail
for thirty days and sentenced to pay a
similar fine.
Mr.. Havemeyer is not accustomed to
90 to Jail, and he very much dislihes the
prospect. Nor does he hope for excel
tive clemency, for he knows that the
president will not extend pardon to
the head Of the Sugar Trust. Altogether
the outlook is very gloomy for the gen.
tlemen named The Jail of the District
of Columbia would not be a bad board
ing place, however, but for the malarial
influence that comes from the eastern
branch of the Potomac. The building is
clean, wholesome and neatly white
washed throughout the interior. There
are large grated windows which let
plenty Of air and sunlight from the east,
south and west into the corridors and
some Of the cells. The cells are neat and
tidy and are lighted with electricity,
which is better than tallow candle.
The tanks in which the prisoners wash
are of white marble, and there Is plenty
of water and soap, although towels are
not 50 plenty as is commonly the case in
first class hotels.
Every prisoner is required to take
bath at least once q week, and the in
mates have days and hours assigned to
them for this purpose. The food is not
delicate, but is plentiful and wholesome,
and Mr. Havemeyer may be gratified to
know that he can have a bawl Of mush
and milk every Sunday morning, and a
pot of excellent baked beans at noon,
with a pint of coffee at both meals in a
tin cup. The Iuxuries are not so great
as he has provided for himself in his
palace in Madison avenue, but the iron
bars that keep outsiders from breaking
in and insiders from breaking out may
possibly remind him Of the stately and
artistic iron fence and gates that protect
his own home from unlawful intrusion.

Is now under Democratic administers
ton and has just refused to accept an
other.
Not understanding this, Mr.. Bryan,
without waiting for Mckinley to be
even inaugurated, begins the campaign
oe 1900" lie will not be supported in
this new custom of continual agitation
by his own organs. The Augusta, Ga,
Chronicle, which supported Bryan with
intensity. now says:
I'VE do not think that continued and
continuous agitation of the issue Is wise
at this time. OF necessary to its preser-
vat:on- TIE question has been plainly
put before the people. In general terms,
they understood the issue. They voted
to continue the trial of the gold stand
ard. We accept their verdict, and say
give ii the fullest and fairest trial. For
the present, We believe it to be the part
of wisdom to discontinue the financial
discussion, and turn attention to mater
ial development and the encouragement
of commercial prosperity"
Another Bryan paper in the south. the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, which
can pot stand renewal Of lost fight,
says to Mr.. Bryan and the others who
desire 10 keep up the silver agitation:
THE only reply to such a proposition
is: Rats, with a prolonged and thun-
dering accent on the sonant fricative.
The country has had enough financial
agitation, and what is needed now is
peace and an opportunity to work. The
Buffers, Tillmans and other professional
ag:tators must go into retirement"
1t is true that Mr. Bryan can harm no
one but himself by this scheme of begin
ming the campaign of 1900. and on that
account it might be better to let him go
ahead with it. But even to his closest
follower it must be plain that Bryan
since the election has shown where he
lacks in real greatness of character than
he did before the election. And for
their edification his present figure is
pointed out.

DRIFT OF THE CORN TRADE

Government returns Of crop exports
for ten months Of the present calendar
year show that the shipments have
amounted to 1OO,99O, Ill bushels against
43, 10, lis bushels for the corresponding
period last year. The increase Of about
5S,00O.000 bushels in total exports for
tie ten months has gone chiefly to
southern ports. TIE gain at New Or
leans, which leads all ports in the vol
ume Of its shipments of corn, has been
second, with an increase of 1882, 057
bushels; Norfolk and Portsmouth to-
gether have had an increase of SO7 ,029
bushels; Galveston a gain of Ass, 5o7
bushels, and Newport News gain OF
4,O57, 131 bushels. New York and Bos-
ton shipments have been practically the
same as they were In 1895, and Phila-
deiphia has had an increase Of 4, All 1878
bushels.
There Is nothing remarkable about
the enlargement Of business at the gulf
ports. They are the natural outlet for a
vast section Of the great corn raising
territory of the west, and they have had
the benefit of active competition be-
tween the southwestern railroad com
panies and the steady growth OF the
commercial spirit among their mer-
chants, who have largely extended the
facilities of those cities for receiving,
storing and exporting grain. But it is
remarkable that Baltimore should have
forged SO far ahead of her rivals on the
Atlantic coast, and have increased her
traffic in corn nearly three times as
much as Philadelphia. The explanation
doubtless lies in the fact of active COM
petition between the railroad companies

HANNA AND THE CABINET.

1
The whole country is just at present
| allowing itself TO become excited over
the ambitions Of Marcus Hanna. The
! Iopulisls who have abused him SO
shamefully are now declaring that ne
must OF under any circumstances De
! gwen cabinet position. Their remons-
frances at this time are in poor taste
and. furthermore, not in order.
1t is not known whether Marcus
Hanna wants a cabinet position or not.
! IF lie does, he will certainly get one, as
| Major McKinley's success is due 10
nothing more than it is to Mr.. Hanna 5
| MANAGEMENT and conduct OF the cam-
paign.
| He would make a good secretary or
state or OF the navy or OF the war, Dut
it seems that the one position with
| which he i the most frequently men
toned it is not possible for him TO hold.
A member of the United States SEN
ate who is not unfriendly to the presi-
dent-elect nor to Mr.. Hanna, but ad-
mires them both and says that he wishes
them the greatest satisfaction and sue
cess, predicts that if Mr.. Hanna were
nominated for secretary of the treasury
the senate committee on the Judiciary
would raise the point that he was ineii-
gible to that Office and report against
his confirmation.
MIR. Hanna is the senior member OF
the firm of NJ. a. Hanna & Co., which Is
not engaged in the foreign trade but
deals in pig iron and mines and ships
iron ore and coal. The firm owns
large feet of steamers, among them the
finest vessels on the great lakes, and OPP
crates its own ships. Mr.. Hanna is also
heavy stakeholder and a director IN
the Globe Iron company of Cleveland,
which operates iron mills, furnaces and
shp-building plant. This is under
the management of his brother, Fl. NJ.
Hanna. He is also the principal owner
in the west side system of street rail-
ways in Cleveland, and is proprietor Of
the Cleveland opera house.
The law says that no man who is en-
gagged IN trade and commerce can be-
come secretary of the treasury. This
clause has heretofore been construed to
refer to the foreign trade exclusively,
but the senator says it has much
broader meaning and was intended to
prevent the appointment Of any person
who was financially interested In enter
prises that would come under his own
Jurisdiction if he became the head OF
that department. Mr.. Hanna's steam
ships, twelve or fifteen in number, are
under the direct jurisdiction Of the sec
rotary of the treasury through the bu-
reau Of naviga don, which has supervis-
ion Of the merchant marine Of the Unit
ed States, and the inspector general of
steamships, who inspects hulls, engines,
and boilers, examines candidates for
pilots and officers of vessels and issues
licenses, after such inspection, in the
name Of the secretary. II Mr.. Hanna
became secretary of the treasury it
would be necessary for him to inspect
his own steamers-of course, through
his subordinates-and grant himself IL
censes to use them for transportation
purposes. He would also have to grant
licenses to the shippers and mates of
these vessels, and would thereby have
direct Jurisdiction over his own affairs.
