The Commission is generally regarded
as satisfactory in it's make up. Brewer
and White are Republicans; Avery and
Coudert are Democrats. Gilman is not
pronounced in politics and may be re-
garded as neutral. The Commission has
already organized by electing Justice
Brewer as President. 1t will not hasten
in it's work and it may be months, and
possibly a year or more, before its decis-
ion will be rendered. The country will
have ample opportunity to cool down
and count all the costs OF war with Great
Britain before the Commission pronoun-
ces it's verdict.
The President has yielded to public
opinion as expressed in the newspapers
and the United States senate and given
the people chance to subscribe to the
new loan. In other words, he has rec
ognized the political unpopularity OF an
other contract with the syndicate and
wants to give the rest of the world
chance to bid for the bonds. The pro-
posals for s1OO,OOO.OOO was issued by Sec
retary Carlisle on Monday.
The statement is made that in making
this issue in the shape of a popular loan
the President has deferred to the general
demand rather than his own sense of
what is best. There is nothing the
President would like better than to see
every cent of this necessary bond issue
taken by the people, but he learned that
however desirable this thing might ap-
pear it was practically impossible. The
treasury needs gold and however much
the people Of this country may want to
replenish it they cannot do it unless they
can supply that metal. The President
watched the dwindling gold reserve and.
seeing that another bond issue was nee
essary, would rather have made the best
terms he could with the men who con-
troll the gold and might perhaps have
obtained better terms than will now be
available.

TALES OF THE DAY.
An EnglishmRn's Adventure in Kan.
Pomeroy is seriously i'll.


Young Englishmen visiting the United
States have as many absurd and anus
ing experiences as Americans have when
in foreign countries. The English trav-
eler who had been assured that west of
the Missouri river the entire country was
infested with bears, some of which were
so bold that they came into the towns,
stopped in a Kansas village, and in the
evening started out for a walk. The
stores were closed, but the moon was
shining brightly. He rambled about the
place for couple of hours and started
down the business street for the hotel.
Suddenly he saw before him on the side
walk big bear, sitting on his launches,
with open mouth and paws extended,
awaiting his coming.
In moment he was on top of porch,
crying for help, but no one heard him,
and the bear sat and watched him. All
night long he stayed there, trembling for
fear bruin would climb the post, but
comforting himself with the idea that it
was too small to be used by a. bear.
At daybreak some men came along, and
one of them wheeled the bear back to
the doorway with the remark: 81 wonder
who put that sign in the middle of the
walk ''-Washington Star.

E'Tt is a foregcne conclusion" says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, chat the
coming Democratic state convention of
Missouri will be mainly composed of
free silverites. The money question
has been the only one discussed in the
campaign fer the election of delegates,
and the party will be unequivocally
tied coinage of cheap dollars 1t is diff
ficult to understand why such posi-
ticn should be assumed by any party in
a state which does not produce an
ounce of silver. and which has nothing
whatever to gain by a corruption of
the medium of exchange"
1t has been insisted upon all along
that about the only class of the peo-
pie in the United States that cared any
thing about the restoration of silver to
it's place as a money metal was the in
terested mine owners of the western,
silver producing states; but here is a
single gold standard paper brought face
to face with the fact that the dominant
political party of the state-its own
state-though that state does not pro-
duce an ounce of silver, is, neverthe-
less, declaring for the free unlimited
and independent coinage of silver as
well as of gold at the ratio of 16 to L.
Such a fact as this-and it may be
duplicated in other staes-should cause
the Globe-Democrat to look again at
the situation and see if all along it has
not been wrong in charging that the
silver producing states of the west were
about the only ones interested in OBJ
tanning the restoration of silver as
one of the money metals.

the extreme. It is not permissible and
the Ohio law will never be a hundredth

society. If they would do a sensible
thing let them repeal this high hat

One Good Turn Deserves Another

A young man had just bought an over
coat, handsome, stylish garment. That
evening it rained heavily. He was going
out, and did not relish the idea of get
ting his new coat soaked. On the hat
rack in the front hall hung mackin-
tosh belonging to his brother, and as the
young mans eye fell on it he said to him
self:
Just the thing! John won't be going
out, and I'll save my new coat as much
damage as it would get in three weeks

out and on his return found his brother

Out here in the west one sometimes
hears of jurors being bribed, but not
Tor small paltry sum. 1t occurs when
there is some great case on in which
hundreds of thousands of dollars are
involved or perhaps some man of vast
means has been charged with a heinous
crime and it becomes worth his while
to buy juror to save himself from
punishment. When such cases occur
thelr motive is well understood though
condemned. Now the bribing of Jurors
IS not entirely unknown in the east.
The other day a Michigan Judge. who
was presiding over the Wayne circuit
court at Detroit, took occasion to re-
mark upon this very matter Said he:
There are certain Htigants who are
interested in cases for trial before this
court, who, last term, made it a bust
ness to influence jurors. There is more
than one way of doing it, and the par
tfcular method of which | speak is
that of offering Inequalities to jury
men. Many things would be proper for
Jurymen to do, if they were not jury
men. which are now improper. l refer
20 the friendships which are offered
by htigants, directly or Indirectly, in
the way of giving cigars or treating ju-
rors at barrooms. That conduct is i'm
proper. and III I have my attention
called to any juror accepting any at
tentions from members of the bar or
htigants L shall deal with them as they
deserve" The judge was too mild in
his condemnation of this practice of
influencing jurors. But how hungry
these Wolverine jurors must be to bite
at such bait /!

THE OHIO BAT.

That any legislature in all the United
States should have enacted such a law
as the F'osdick high hat law, passed
by the Ohio legislature, is really as
tonishing. Kansas is perhaps the only
state people would have thought, cap
able of committing such an absurdity.
The law provides that managers of
theatres may be fined from two dollars
to ten dollars for every hat in their

out the insincerity and gross untruth

Mr. McKinley''s that by high protec-
tive tariff the United States will be-
come a nation of exporters. Just how
the enhancing of the price of any pro-
duct will enable it's manufacturers to
sell it abroad in competition with the
cheaper products Of foreign manufac-
ture, and thus enable the United Staes
to become an exporting nation, will
be left to the profound wisdom of those
who assert that it can be done.

lam Mckinley. proves that he is capable
of 'straddlingss every political question
from who pays the tariff tax to that
