Not In Accord With BRYAN.

The only large section of the country
where Colonel Bryan is sure of support
is rapidly putting itself on record as in
favor of expansion and the permanent
retention Of the islands which conquest
and purchase have brought to the
American people. The south is for util-
izing the results of the war because 1t
would be foolish to waste life and treas
ure only to abandon the acquisitions,
especially when they open opportunities
for commercial greatness for the south.
The southern senators and congressman
pine islands to the natives now or in
the future will do so out Of opposition
to the Republican party rather than for
the benefit of the American people and
their own constituents. If Colonel Bry-
an has common sense he will hereafter
have little to say about anti-expansion.
An advocacy of his narrow doctrine,
which seemed to have a promise of pop
ularity when he first promulgated views
upon this subject, might not lose for
him a southern state, because a nomi-
nation by the Democratic convention is
considered as law and gospel in the
south. Still, the popularity of the can
didate will be greatly reduced if he con-
cal consideration for the island tribal
claimants who are unworthy of being
left to rule their fellow-islanders.

Price Of PAPER Has Advanced.

The newspapers generally have been
hard hit by advances In the price of pa.
per, most of which Is made in regions
where a scarcity of water has limited
the production by stopping paper mills.
Nearly all of these are run by water
power and make paper from wood pulp,
which requires soaking before being run
into sheets. The paper is sold at so low
a price generally that it will not pay to
use fuel in manufacturing the product.
Linen and other papers made from rags
require machinery that Is in many cases
operated by steam, out the increase of
business has made such an, enormous
demand for papers of all kinds that
there has BEEN a general advance In
prices by the combination which han
dies most of the business, and printing
offices have to pay from 25 to 100 per
cent more for material than formerly.
There are twenty-five mills in the vicin-
ity Of Milwaukee which make common
newspaper, and nearly all of them have
ceased to operate or are ruiz only mart
Of the time because the streams which
supply the power have been low for
many months. The surplus stock has
been consumed. and there is a general
shortage.

Plenty Of Money For. Business.

Comptroller of the Currency Dawes d
couple of days g outlined the causes
Of the money stringency in speculative
c%enters, and pointed out that there is
no tightness as to money elsewhere, the
people and the government being in no
way embarrassed. The general financial
condition of the country, so far as 1T can
be Judged from the banking situation, is
sound and stable. The recent furry
was a natural sequence of the cond1-
ton Of last summer, when the west did
not need its capital and deposited in the
banks of the east In order to procure
interest on it's credit balances. The i'm
mense accumulation there stimulated IL
legitimate speculation on stock *
changes, and bubbles of credit were
blown, which could not but burst at the
drsr disturbance in al abnormally
cheap money market. This disturbance
commenced when, In order to move its
crops and to furnish legitimate indus
try with proper funds, the west COM
menced to call for it's own and to with
draw currency from the east.
The situation was also aggravated by
the London money market and the pros
pect of gold shipments. The spectators
simply had to %liquidate, and the legiti-
mate demands of industry and COM
merce had to De satisfied. There Is am
pie money in he country to provide for
legitimate bu siness. The business of the
country was never more prosperous nor
the credit of the government better.

Two Democratic senators from the
south, Caffery of Louisiana and Lind
say Of Kentucky, will vote with the Re-
publicans for the currency bill. There
will be a few speeches by Senator Tel
Ter for the silver wing of the Republic

will talk for the Populists; Senators
Wolcott and Chandler may urge some
further effort to bring Europe to bimet-
allism; but within thirty to sixty days
a currency bill will have been passed
and signed by President Mckinley.
Then the Republican party can go be-
fore the country with a claim to having
kept its pledge to maintain the gold
standard after having attempted to Sc
cure international bimetallism.

The United States civil service COM
mission has given notice that if n
plumber wishes a Job at Fort Bayard
at a salary Of $50 per month, and will
apply to the commission for examina-
ton blanks and pass the tests to be
applied, he may secure the place. The
civil service commission must be a lot of
slmples. ITO think any bona flde plumber
would take a place that pays but 81 per
day. with no chance for pickings. 1t
would be contrary to the traditions for
any plumber to be poor enough to hunt
such a job, especially in the days Of
prosperity, when anybody a get a

The Republican majority of thirteen
in the Nebraska legislature was GER
tainly unlucky in electing a senator in
poor health, for his death has put back
into the senate an accidental senator
with a pair Of lungs unequaled in
Washington, Judging by the test he
stood in a former session. The people Of
Nebraska do not want Senator Allen to
represent them. They elected a legisla-
turd for the express purpose of choos-
ing a Republican senator after they had
tried Senator Allen and decided upon a
change. But they will have to bear the
Ills Of his ~incumbency because the Pop
ulist governor and Colonel Bryan
thought 1t good politics to let him have
the place. Until the legislature meets
to elect a man who represents the po-
Mtical majority Of the body Mr.. Allen
can turn himself loose as a talker in
Washington. The governor will, Of
course, call no special session that
would put a quietus upon Allen.

An earthquake in southern califorr

An earthquake in southern California
a few days ago shook down the tourists
in a lively way, wrecked a hotel resort
and furnished a chapter of horrors by
killing a few Indians, who were buried
under a falling wall. Southern Califor-
mia Is in the habit Of shaking down the
tourists in a financial way, and the sort
of a freak upon the part of mother
earth will be regretted by the entire pop
ulation because it will help to brighten
people from going to the land Of orange

be a candidate for the presidential
nomination against President Diaz. The
press bulletins have not announced

to the surprise the president gave to

they would win favor by their zeal. In

Bill 10 Improve Weather Service.

A bill calculated to greatly improve
the usefulness Of the weather bureau
has been prepared by Willis l.. Moore,
chief of the bureau, who has for twenty
years BEEN in the service. This Dill
provides hat the civil service method
Of choosing employees for the weather
bureau shall be abandoned SO far as
general selections being made withou,

continuous service without regard to
disabilities. Chief Moore says that
weather observers are subject to colt
siderable mental strain, and are liabia
to be on duty for long hours and in "a
rious climates. transfers from one re-
gion to another being frequent. His bill
calls for candidates for places in The
bureau to be recommended by senators
and representatives to the civil service
commission whenever there may be va
cancies. The commission shall first Of
all have physical examinations mad.,
and subsequently mental examinations.
Certain standards as to physique and
educational qualifications are required
under the bill. When parties are compe-
tent they will be classed as available,
and shall be appointed to minor posi-
tions temporarily, and quickly put on
probation for the period Of one year in
more important work. After this year
has been served with satisfaction to tbe
bureau the appointee may not be drop
jed from the service without proper
trial and for cause. There may be sus-
pensions for cause, while physical dis
ability and old age will result in the
employee being retired after certain Pc
for merit, and after such examinations
as the chief may order. At present there
is no provision for retiring men who
are too old for active service. The bill
contemplates taking care Of superannu-
ated employees. All who have been in
service twenty years may be retired for
disability If 1t exists, and paid 30 per
cent as much annually as they have
been receiving. For longer service and
greater age greater compensation will

1t is just as necessary for the country

THE RECENT SEMI-PANIC.
NASHVILLE Banner.)
This Wall street furry has done the
country a service In a~ccentuating not
only the dangers, but also the weak
nesses of trusts and speculative combi-
nations. 1t Is a gratifying fact that the
recent collapse Of speculative values
had little p%erceptible effect on the coun-
try at large. There Is probably no pre-,
vious record where the value Of so large
a volume of securities took so sudden
and precipitous a tumble without pro-
ducing general disturbance in all
branches of business.
FILLING ARMY VACANCIES.

If the expanded army is to be made an
efficient offensive and defensive agency
of the republic, rather than a refuge for
the wards and ~underlings Of successful
politicians, men trained in the modern
art of war should be given all due pref
erence when commissions shall be
handed around. Military operations
have become an advanced and, difficult
science under the pressure Of latter-day
inventions Of improved war material.
