JOHN SHERMAN is 70 years old, but he
is still vigorous in body and mind. If
the ablest gold standard advocate in the
country ls selected for secretary of the
treasury, his name will questionably be
John Sherman. Already Sherman has
had the sagacity to urge the largest pos
sible use of silver under the Mckinley
administration consistent with the main
tenance of the parity of the silver dollar
with the gold dollar.

BRYAN Magnetism,

Nothing in the present campaign il
more remarkable than the universal ties
timony to the magnetism of Bryan, of
fered not only by his own supporters, but
by the correspondents of journals by
which he is bitterly opposed.
The correspondent of the New York
World has made it the chief theme of his
contributions to that paper. Henry
George has described it in glowing terms
in the New York journal, and here are
the words in which it is portrayed by Mr..
Julian Hawthorne:
"Never can cease to be affected by
these outstretched, approaching hands,
crowded together, striving to touch the
hand of the man of their hope; hands
knotty and gnarled, but each one with a
heart in it. Strange, unknown creatures
shoulder their way to the platform on
which. he stands; figures grimy with the
soil OF the field and smoke of the fac
tories. x 4 X The buried Titan is be-
stirring himself. He feels dimly that he
is strong; he begins to realize that moth
ing is so strong as he. He is getting to
his feet"
man who can attract such crowds and
awaken so much enthusiasm must surely
triumph over even the combination of
Doodle and bossism arrayed against him.

In repudieting Catron the people of
Santa Fe and Grant counties have en-
phatically notified congress that they
positively do not sanction Catron's eff
fort to secure congressional valuation
of the fraudulent Brice. Coler railroad

must not cease their vigilance. Arrange
ments should Immediately be made to
place the truth concerning these bonds in
the hands of every member of congress.

than governor of New Mexico.

Britain would be n general European
war. in which event 1t Is more than
probable that all the continental powers
would he arrayed against Great Britain,
though the fact must be recognized
that she is In n position to offer to some
of them great inducements to become
her allies.
In n wal waged by Germany single
handed against Great Britain the latter
would have the advantage ON account
of her greatly superior naval power, and
her much greater facilities for increas-
ing It. Germany ranks fifth among the
naval powers and her great infcriority
to Great Britain in this respect is
shown in the fact that while that ma
ton has pa wal vessels In service Ger
many has but seventy-four. Thus in II
singlc-handed fight between these
powers England could defend her colo
MES and have war vessels to spare for
operations against the colonies of Ger
many.

Besides the apportionments. Belgium owns
the Congo state with a population Of Is, $780,
0GO and an area of S65 400 square miles. Tur-
key claims, but England practically OWNS
everything in Egypt and Tripoli-popula-
ton 1880, 900 and area 1876 900. Liberia Is
a black republic. with an area of 81 900
square miles and a population of 1000, 900.
Swaziland, under the protection of the Beers,
includes an area of 6,370 square miles and
60, 900 people under a tribal monarchy. The
Boer state, the South African republic, has
a population bordering on 200, 900, and an
area Of 162 GAO miles. within which lie some
of the richest mines on the continent. There
remains unappropriated a total estimated
at %, 900, 900 square miles.
Great Britain has been openly anxious to
extend her protectorate by intrigue, stealth
or filibustering, but If France, Italy and Ger
many shall combine to preserve the balance
of power in Africa further aggression on her
part will be checked effectually. Numbers,
1t is true, are in her favor. Population to
the square mile is sixteen for British Africa
against eight for French, seven for Germany
and ten for Italian Africa. Fleets, however,
and diplomatic menace will be convincing
against a disparity of coloniZers and natives
whose fidelity cannot always be relied upon.
The other partitioning powers are likely to
p:oft by the Venezuelan contention and leave
no boundary lines for future Schomburgks to
readjust or British premiers to refuse to ar
bitrate,

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

R%etrenchment and economy are the
watchwords proclaimed from the top of
the city hall and from all the depart
ments thereof, but men must be judged
by their acts and not by their profess
sions.
The new school board started out by
reyiving the $500 sinecure of attorney
for the Board of Education, although
the legal department of the city is will
ing and able to attend to all school
board business without additional eX-
pense.
The new council listened to the mes
sages of the retiring and incoming
mayors, the keynotes of both being
economy and retrenchment in every
branch of municipal government, and
then turned around and elected a useless
sergeant-at-arms at a salary of $500 a
year.
There Is no more need of a paid Oun
ell sergeant-at-arms than there Is Of n
special attorney for the school board.
For years the chief of police or an
officer designated by him attended cOun-
ell meetings and preserved order and
summoned the presence OF absentees.
The city incurred no expense for this
service. The same thing could be done
now If the council were disposed to
exercise economy and conduct the city
business on business principles instead

they can provide the necessary facili-
entitled to consideration even If they
have not the temerity to ask for Il five
years location. In the meanwhile the
preliminary canvass is progressing with
vigor.

Dss Moines Leader: Judge Hustled at Du.
buque has advised the Indictment of the
mayor and aldermen of Dubuque who par.
ticipated in the recent SALARY grab" there
The lesson must be taught that public of.
ticers are not given carte blanche to do what
they please with public funds.
Sioux City Times: The Iowa Indians are
bright fellows and show that they are pos
seyssed Of some business sense. They have
leased their lands to white farmers and have
rented a patch of ground of the Kaws on
which they will erect a village and live off
the rental paid them by the white farmers.
1t has taken the aborigine a long time to
realize the value Of land ownership, but he
is getting around to Il now.
Sioux City Journal: The irrigationists are
doing great work in Nebraska. AT the office
Of the secretary of the state board Of irriga-
ton claims for water rights are being filed
in great numbers and already these claims
cover more than 1900, 900 acres of land. By
the first Of next May 1t Is believed the
claims will cover at least 5000, 900 acres
and a large proportion of this vast area will
this year be irrigated and will produce
crops.
Des Moines Capital: Congressman Clark Is
certainly not disposed to get into ruts, what
ever elsa may be said of him. His measure
for the establishment Of postal savings banks
is in accordance with the opinions Of many
who have gwen the subject a considerable
dIluuHI VI dtteHtLoIl. lnuSeu, maj IL nOC De
that the government could in that way OBJ
tain all the money 1t would need with which
to meet deficiencies? If the funds thus OBJ
tanned were not needed for such purpose,
they could be invested in the obligations
of the government, and thus at least some
interest could be saved. The rate of interest
ought to be Of the lowest, so the government
would not be made a competitor with private
enterprise. One thus entrusting his money
with the government should be satisfied
with a very moderate return for his invest
ment.
Dubuque Telegraph: In his charge to the
grand jury Judge Hustled instructed
that body that it was its duty to investigate
the allegation, repeatedly made in the local
newspapers, that the city council had in
creased the salary of the mayor and those Of
the aldermen and, If it found the statements
of the press to be true, to return indictments
against the responsible parties. = =
When the present council began its career
the aldermanic salary was $500 and the
mayoralty / 1000. Early last summer a prop
ositicn to increase the salaries was made,
and subsequently the pay of the aldermen
was advanced to $500, with extra allowance
for service on the Board Of Health and the
equalization committee, and $1,000 additional
was voted to the mayor, $500 of the amount
for health committee work. These facts are
and as under the law the salaries
fixed when the new council entered upon its
task were full payment fer all services, the
grand jury will be likely to return indict-
mants. All but three of the ten aldermen
have drawn the increased salary, and these,
with the mayOr. are liable.

We may say, then, that the invention of a
