By all means vote for the bonds.

The Hon VIM. J. Bryan has written
remarkable letter in which he urges
union OF all the elements of opposition
to the gold standard. He says that if
the Democrats, Populists and Silver Re-
publicans were agreed upon but one
measure it would justify union, but he
enumerates the following nine reforms
upon which all are agreed:
"First-They are unalterably opposed
to gold recommendation.
"Second -They demand the immedi-
ate. restoration OF bimetallism at the
present ratio by the independent action
of this country.
"Third-They oppose the retirement
of the greenbacks.
"Fourth-They oppose the issue of
paper money by national banks.
"Fifth-They oppose the issue of in
terest bearing bonds in time of peace.
"Sixth-They favor the income tax
as a means of raising part of the reve-
pue necessary to administer the Federal
government. A4
"Seyenth-They favor the abolition
OF trusts.
FEighth-They are opposed to gov
eminent by INJUNCTION.
"Ninth-They are ia favor of arbitra-
tion as means of settling disputes be-
tween labor and capital.
.'Here are nine issues which are not
only Important IN themselves, but are
now prominently before the people.
Are not these reforms worth securing?
These questions were submitted to the
people at the last election, but they
were not Settled, and will not be settled
unit! they are settled right" -.
Speaking Of the Republican policy of
a single gold standard, retiring the legal
tenders and paying bonds in gold, Mr..
Bryan said:' III Z
::'Should those who oppose this fnan-
cial heresey, this child of greed ond ava
rice, fight each other while the Ameri-
can people are bound with letters Of
gold?" .
Altogether the letter is powerful ar
gumont for union against present and
prospective evils.

An Encouraging Sign.

An encouraging Sign.
one somewhat significant conse-
quence of the introduction in the Ohio
Legislature recently of bill to estab-
lish system of compulsory medical
examination for couples desiring to
wed has been the disposition upon the
part of many commentators to, con-
slider the subject seriously. We have
been accustomed to see propositions of
this kind received bumptiously or with
ridicule by most persons save those
whom the mass of mankind denomi-
nate "cranks"; and it therefore is note
worthy that on this occasion there are
goodly number of apparently rational
human beings not connected with the
medical profession or otherwise biased
who deem il worth while to express
| their opinions upon the subject with
| earnestness and dignity.
1t Is very true that some Of the worst
fitted candidates for the responsibilities
of the parental relation are men and,
less frequently, women who could
easily pass muster with regard solely
to their bodily health. Defects of dis
position and mind and temperament
are less readily ascertained than is the
kind of defects against which the Ohio
| legislators bill is chiefly aimed. But
| If a starting point is ever to be taken
! by society in the protection of itself
from the multiplying evils arising from
| abuse of it's most important relations it
| will need to be the one which it has
already occupied in reference to another
| great evil; viz, the provision for a
quarantine at ports of immigration of
persons afflicted with dangerous dis
eases.
SO long as society tolerates the con-
dition in which 1t finds itself today
| that is to say, a condition which on the
one hand makes light of martial in
fidelity in the man, with all that that
implies, and. on the other, leaves the
depraved, the diseased and the outcast
free to perpetuate and increase their
species in kind, the problem of vice
and crime in all its sickening bearings
will continue TO loom up before il

" Business EquaIity."

For one reason or another the Repub-
lcans of Pennsylvania have not made
it their practice in recent years to re-
gard with especial seriousness the po-
liticai pustures of their former field
marshal, Hon. Thomas V. Cooper, of
Delaware, Yet Mr.. Cooper, fair play
for him, is one of the clearest- -visioned
politicians of His day, who has made
the history of politics a life study and
who may be laughed at by the un-
thinking and still be all there. Thus
in his latest exploit as a trust-smash-
irg candidate for governor, while his
immediate purpose may be one of a
dozen conjectural things, the newt
able effect of his argument for "busi-
ness equality" which is the shibboleth
Qf his campaign, will be to fix that sub
Feet more firmly than ever in the pub
lie mind, and in measure reopen the
yeXing problem of the corporations, the
combines and the trusts. Mr.. Cooper's
idea, so far as he has yet outlined It,
is as follows, using his own words:
1t is a profound conviction with
me, one growing with. years and obser-
walton, that the condition of the state
and country invites a struggle for new
equality, such a struggle as the ReIub-
llfan party best knows how to conduct

was taught that parentheses and brack-
cts are not interchangeable, that what is
included between 9 is a part of the
story, and that what is included between
[ ] is not. In newspaper work men use
brackets to inclose a word of explana-
ton to the printer or the editor, Should
not brackets be used exclusively for ex-
PLANTATION to the editor, or even to the
reader, when that explanation is not a
part of the story; and is not this dis
tinction between ] and 9 peculiar to
our language? l ask because in books
and in magazines articles written by men
presumed to knew the English language,
| have found the two used interchange
ably. w. Z. b.
There is no natural distinction of use
between the parenthesis and the bracket.
They are different forms of the same
thing. They are twins. The parenthesis
is II curved bracket, the bracket rec
tilnear parenthesis. Neither is excessive
ly beautiful, but you are entitled to make
your choice if you want to. Various
printers and editors make the distinction
menticr ed by TIE Syracusan, but it is a
purely artificial and arbitrary dstinc-
tion, n matter of individual taste or use.
The dash seems likely to drive out the
parenthesis. At least 1t is not so ugly
as that bow-legged old rascal.
o
Our advice to the Syracusan and to the
rest of mankind is to avoid parenthet-
ical writing. Go straight ahead when
ever you can. When an explanatory
word or phrase has to be intercalate1,
use brackets, if you like, or parentheses,
if you like. The printer will do as he
pleases. He will follow the rule of his
office. Some typographical aw there
must be, but it is mainly founded on IN
dividual taste and habit, after all. We
should say that parenthesis and bracket
are mere typographical devices, and their
use or disuse is largely a matter OF
fashion. The English language could
snrNiNa the loss of both.
