While there were many threats OF radi-

seems now to be generally conceded on
all hands that conservatism viii prevail

for existing laws. There will be no whole

On the contrary. expressions gathered
from leading fusonists lead to the belief
that only those laws viii be passed which
are framed along wise and prudent lines.

COAST PAPERS.

Salem Statesman: No worse policy can
be imagined than the commfnging OF the
legislative with the executive powers. To
give to a legislature the appointing power
in any case is bad enough.
San Francisco Call: The route Of nearly
every Congressman on his way to WASH
ingson seems to lead through Canton this
year. This place Is rapidly becoming the
greatest railroad center in the country.
San Francisco Bulletin: Two swallows
do not make a summer. but one IS suffi-
cient TO upset the best-intentioned pledge
on the new year. This may be a little
premature. but IL is none the less true be-
cause OF its early announcement.
San Francisco Post: When the Kansas
Populists intimate that they may not re-
turn Peffer 10 the senate, We are left in
embarrassing uncertainty as TO which
OF the unique personages In the Sunfiower
state is to be the next to add TO the gage
~ Of the nation.
Los Angeles Times: A young lady OF
San Jose has sued the trustees of the nor
NAL school at that place for suspending
her on charges OF untruthfulnsss and i'm
morality. If the charges are not well
founded she should recover damages in a
good round sum. A man might recover
from such charges, but q woman never.
Astorlan: The United States might with
the utmost propriety mterpose its good
Offices in bringing about some peaceful
settlement of the rebellion. under condi-
tons which would tend to ameliorate
some of the harsh phases of the Spanish
rule. but no fair-minded American citizen
would wish to see this country involved
in foreign war al this time on the Cuban
account.
Portland Oregonian: mo one" says the
Salt Lake Tribune, has ever whispered a
word against the personal character of
William J. Bryan" IL is true there is no
accusation against him that he is thief,
an adulterer or murderer. On this basis
there has been no assault upon his per-
sonai character. The word that has been
spoken and Is sim TO be spoken against
him is that he is q mschievous agitator.
a shallow babbler. who knows not even
the elementary principles OF the subjects
he talks about. lie is a humbug and
fraud. and his oellverances are rs shallow
and obsolete as the schemes of John Law.
In the narrower sense. nothing is 10 be
said against his personal character" In
a public sense he is simply an :ncendiary
and fool.

highest recommendation for the position
to which he will be elected and his entire
fitness to aid IN the work of rebuilding the
industries that have been wrecked in the
last three years comes from his neighbors,
Republicans and Democrats, who are
familiar with his achievements in the
world of finance, manufacture and mer-
chandise.
Undoubtedly Senators will be glad to
have the benefit of Mr.. Hobart's larger
business experience in preparing and con-
sidering measures for the advancement OF
the trade, domestic and foreign, OF the
country. and it is very certain that his
opinions will have in mind the greatest
possible good for all the people. Then,
again, his knowledge of practical politics
and the tricks of the trade of politics
being so dim will cause him to regard all
legislation as business propositions for the
veal or woe of the people. This will have
a tendency to make Senators forego
schemes which are for advantage to the
party rather than to the country. Mr..
Hobart will be quick to detect the purpose
of bills. and the country may be sure that
there will be no legislation, if the Vice
President can help it, whose operation
would discriminate against one class OF
citizens for the benefit of another class.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Lyman Trumbull was one of America 8
great men, lawyer having deep and
profound knowledge of the philosophy
and ethics of law, and a statesman OF
broad and comprehensive understanding
of the science of government. AS poll
tician he was failure, although he served
eighteen years in the United States Sem
ate. Originally a Democrat, he was one
of the founders of the Republican party,
but he drew such broad line between
practical politics and economic politics
that he could not make them lap one over
the other, hence he failed utterly as poll
tician, as such man naturally would.
The trouble with Trumbull was that he
expected too much of humanity. His
ideals were too lofty and too honest OF
purpose for his day and generation. Be-
ing great lawyer himself he had no
patience with lawmakers who failed to
comprehend the spirit of our Government
in framing legislation, although they
might be entirely honest and sincere of
purpose. In recent years Mr.. Trumbuli
called himself an independent Democrat
and voted at every election because he
deemed it the duty of every sovereign to
give expression in that to his best judg.
ment concerning how the public's interests
could be further promoted. He had very
little use for man who would neglect his
duty at the polls. That he died disap-
pointed man there's no doubt. He wanted
TO be at the head Of the Government be-
