posed of their grain, but, fortunately
this is not one Of those years.
Omaha Bee: What a large majorit.
of the Canadian people have desired Il
a trade agreement with this cOuntr!
which would give them a large share o
the American market, and HAVING
failed to effect anything in this direc
ton because they had nothing accept
able TO propose nothing which in III
operation would not have been one
sifed-they have become distinctly I'm
friendly and seem likely to become
more so.
Mobile Register: 1t may be that Mr.
Bryan, by his magnetism and elo
guence, will whip the various elements
into line again when the national elec
tiOn time comes around, but at thil
writing they are not in the least de-
gree following his advice. The POpu
lists seem to have been much tempted
by the prospect of the enjoyment Oi
the spoils of office. They are evidently
very poor stuff with which to carry on
great campaign or win great battle
Plttsburg Dispatch: Mr.. Eckels in
sists that the currency system OF the
country is very defective, but there Is
@ large and growing class of the pOpu-
latiOn Of the opinion that the currency
system Is far less defective than Mr.
Eckels' judgment. A mere occupancy
Of the office Of Comptroller of the Cur
rency, by political appointment, does
not make man an expert in finance
though it may give him some tenn
porary standing with the mob as an
authority upon the subject.
Dewitt Talmage: Some people are
so OVerbOrne with the dolOrOusness OF
the times that they say we shall have
communistic 0utrages in this country
such as they had in France. l do not
believe it. The parallel does not run
They have no Sabbath, no Bible, no God
in France. We have all these defenses
of our American people, and public
opinion is such that If the people in
this country attempt a cut-throat ex-
pedition they will land in Sing Sing,
or from the gallows go up on tight
rope.
Indianapolis News: 1t is announced
that the various State clubs existing
at Washington are to be dissolved.
They will not be missed by the friends
Of good government--or, rather, they
will be missed in a most pleasant way.
These institutions had but one object,
and that was to secure appointments
for their members and friends. But
now that it is found that the indOrse-
ment Of these Clubs is prejudicial to
an applicant for Office, the clubs them
selves are preparing to go out of bust
ness.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Mr.. Sherman,
as Secretary of State, has been inde-
pendent, If not positively saucy. He
may atone partially for the crime OF
73" If he will rescue the diplomatic
relations between the various countries
especially the United States and
England-from the asininity into
which they have fallen. Heretofore
the writer's of our diplomatic coTTe-
spOndence may have known that a
spade was spade, but they have dis

Baltimore American: Commander
Booth-Tucker wants to establish a
poor mans paradise" When he
knows more of human nature than his
project implies, he will find that the
same thing is required for the success
of an earthly paradise as for social
Utopia, and that no system or insti-
