The Coming Issues.

The New York World had the following
editorial under the above caption:
''The brief report of Mr. Bryan's address
before the Nebraska Legislature indicates a
perception on his part of the necessity of
broadening the basis Of opposition TO Repub-
licanism. He spoke at length, says the report,
against the presence of corporations in poll
ties and in favor of the revision ofinequilable
tax laws.
Both these phrases are well chosen. 1t
is not against corporations as such, it is not
against Accommodations of wealth in themselves,
that the people have become aroused. 1t is
the presence of corporations in politics, the
control of the Government by wealth COM
bined in trusts and other monOpolies, to
which the people object. When corporations
select Attorneys General and Judges, the will
of the people as expressed in law is nullifed
When there is purchase of privilege by plu-
tocracy, our democratic institutions are sub
verted.
We have, furthermore, ''nequitable tax
laws, and the Republicans are now concoct.
ing a revision which will make them still more
unequal and unjust. They not only purpose
to leave the whole cost of the Government as
burden on the food, fuel, clothing and
shelter of the people. but to increase that
burden by augmented appropriations mount
nag far above the bilion-dollar mark. =

The Rush for Office.

The rush for office, it is said, has never
been so great as during the past three months,
and that McKinley is simply appalled,. He
received about car load of applications be-
fore he went TO Washington, and there
are many thousands of Office seekers at the
national capital awaiting to see the President
or reach him through some Senator or Repre-
sentive. The scramble is absolutely unpre-
eedented, and from no state, except Ohio, IS
the rush greater relatively than from Maryland.
1.-THE civil service rules are maintained scarce
" one in five hundred will get an office and
bitter disappointment will cause these patri-
otto citizens to become lukewarm Republican
marty men.

Prosperity Slowly Making it's Way
at Sparrows Point.
From the Baltimore World March srd.

Prosperity has not yet come to Sparrow's
Point in wholesale quantities. The managers
of the Maryland steel company's plant earn
estly hope for better times and so do the resi-
dents of the neighborhood There are now
about 375 men at work in the marine depart
ment. the only one at all active. Officials
stated to World man to-day that they hope
to increase this force 20 zoo shortly, but the
conditions are not such as to warrant it at
present.
The employees in the bridge shops at the
west end have all been laid off, There were
couple hundred of them who are now per-
force idle. Furthermore there has been a
cut of 10 per cent. in wages and salaries. due
to the cut in steel prices, owing to the collapse
of the pool. This reduction affects every EN-
ploye from the skilled mechanic to the shop
laborer, and from the president to the young
est office boy.
There is one ray Of sunshine, however. 1t
is definitely announced by the managers that
furnance will be put into blast within two
or three weeks at most. The furnace will
cause the employment of about 80 additional
men, and has a daily capacity of 300 tons.
Furnance b is the second to be blown in this
this year. The fires were lighted in furnace
A New Years day, with the promise that
should conditions warrant it another would be
started in the near future. This promise is
about to be fulfilled.
There is some dissatisfaction expressed by
the men at the employment of so many
negroes in the plant.
Said one man to World man yesterday
sit seems as though if there are any good
jobs they are all snapped up by the negroes.
Why cant they give employment instead to
the hundreds of white men who are out of
work around here?''
The managers of the works told World
man that they are doing the best they can.
''We are looking about for work to give the
men all the time, said prominent official.
ave receive plenty of applications for infor-'
nation, but the orders do not come so quickly
as we would like. However, we hope that it
will not be long before prosperity is strength
ened and we have all departments running
with full force and plenty of work.

The general Has Not Arrived.

The ADVOCATE suggested TO the Baltimore
Ne,rs last week TO interview Banker Brown
and Trust President Davidson and ascertain
if the twenty millions of dollars that were to
be invested in Baltimore in the event OF Nc
Kinleys election had arrived.
The Ne,cs did so, and on Wednesday pub
lished the interviews, which are reproduced
in this issue. 1t will be observed that they
are very lame excuses for the non-arrival OF
the general prosperity so loudly predicted.
The absence of the General is accounted
for by the iingoism of Represenfatges and Sen
ators and war talk, and prosperity is TO arrive
as soon as the jngoes cease agitation That
will be about dooms-day. Jingoes are always
with us.
Still the distinguished Baltimore iinanciers
promised immediate business revival, and the
l.iingoism" complained Of did not commence
for some weeks after McKinley's election.
The inference from their ante-election inter-
views was that the $40, 600, 900 were ready to
come to Baltimore at once and that all ar
rangements had been made to that effect, and
the effort TO throw the failure on Congress or
the press is simply amusing. There is no
prosperity and will be none until there be a
reversal of the tax and financial policy OF the
last thirty years. Falling prices and falling
values will continue until that is done.
Banker Brown admits he is disappointed
in the realization of some of his plans, and
Trust President Davidson says he has handled
a million dollars of ''new business and the
money will finally gointo the hands of labor.
This will happen, TOO, we suppose, when jim
goism ceases and Congress adopts methods
of common sense, which will be dooms-day.
We want to see those twenty millions come,
but we are now nearly convinced, after four
months of delay, that Banker Brown and
Trust President Davidson were talking TO M
Auence voters rather than from actual knowl-
edge ofmoney awaiting investment in Balti-
more enterprises.

amendment, providing for civil service law

through the Legislature, whereat the Civil

DANGERS OF THE GRIP.
The greatest danger from La Grippe is of
its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for la grippe, we have
yet to learn of single case having resulted
in pneumonia, which shows conclusvely that
this remedy is a certain preventive of that
dread disease. 1t will effect a permanent
cure in less time than any other treatment.

The great st. Bernard mountain pass is in
the Pennine chain of Alps, between Martigny,

The Pointe de Dronaz.
AT the highest elevation of the pass, near
the line of perpetual SNOW, is the. hosplce or
monastery of ST Bernard, the highest human
dwelling in Europe. Its inmates are Angus
tinian monks, assisted by lay brethren, cele
brated with their dogs for rescuing travellers.
In their hospice at times as many as 500 or 600
travellers have been accommodated at once.
The snow around the hospice averages seven
to eight feet in depth, and the drifts some
times rest against it and accumulate to the
height Of forty feet. The severest cold recorded
was 29o below zero and the greatest heat 6S
