There and Here,

The tallest man in Missouri is struggling
country editor, who has astonished his con-
stituency by not being able to knock a single
political plum throughout his entire career.
Baltimore Ne~S.
Here there are people leaving the
tombstone and tanning professions to
get into the newspaper trade, believing
that big drum cycinder is just the sort
of long pole that will fetch both the
plum of office for one and the persim
mon of official printing for the other.
They rank, however, among the short
est specimens of fruit-boXers on the poll
books.

The Record Against Him.

Bryan delivers his address of acceptance to-
it but we know it will not be a dodger. He will
say what he means and mean what he says.
When you vote for Bryan you will know ex-
actly who and what you are voting for. He
don't change with every wind Of doctrine
Cumberland Times.
If the reader doesn't believe that is
untrue, let him compare Bryan's view
of tariff reform one year as solvent of
every commercial i'll with his conviction
incidcW i'll the evolution of finance, is
the imperial cure-all.

Why Not ?

The democrats are charging the adj
vertiSing agencies with having been
bought up to promote the election of
Mckinley:
Why not?
What is their rcmorseless grip upon
newspapers good for if they cam sell it !?
Isn't 50 per- rent. of the free press of
the country" variety subject to adver-
tising agency Imperialism:
Doesn't the agency fix the circulation
they have, dictate the prices they shall
charge, and ordain their "male-up?"
With all this power over the poor,
despicable, lOathsome creatures who pre-
tend to conduct newspapers, why
shouldn't they sell to the party what the
latter already OWLS in little republican
papers that are papers, and policy of
apathy or ncgation for the democratic
sheets!

Cold.

The Westminster Md .Idrocoir i'll
forms the Baltimore NcwS that there is
i'll gold no such thing as "intrinsic
value
Literally true, perhaps, but it takes
long, tense stretch of imagination to
bring gold down to that SfotuS.
Especially at time when, it is report
ed, there is an official hunt for 400 mil
lions in coin that has been boarded, and
will be boarded SO long as the phantom
of free coinage haunts the domain of
commerce.
But whatever may be said of gold,
whether "intrinsic" or eXtrinsic, it is
readily eXchangeable for so many COM
modities whose intrinsic value" is
acknowledged, that its value" in vast
majority of instances is better than if it
We're merely intrinsic"
Hence, of the few things in this world
that can be slandered without infiicting
hurt gold is "A leader.

Wants Equality.

The Cumberland Times now wants all
schools made "high" and, later "steam-
het.'
That is, it wants all pupils to enjoy
high school tuition without compelling
all to attend any particular school.
Its argument, however, goes to prove
that the schools contemplated by law
are better than the high and ''Steam-
het'' variety. 1t says:
Many of the most successful teachers and
best scholars in the county are among the
county teachers who never were inside of a
high school. They have passed most credit
able examinations and taught good schools
Among the many strange notions ex-
tant i'll Cumberland, some official and
unofficial conceitS concerning schools
take the lead.

MIR. Plattis state oonstabuIary bill
seems to be finding little favor in New
York, but fer all that it may become .
law, for Platt hos almost always been
able to put through the Legislature
what he has set his heart upon. The
purpose of the bill is to take the control
Of the police OF Greater New York out OF
the hands of Tammany and place in the
state government. Mr.. Platt contends that
this Ia necessary in order to loosen Tam
many's grip in the city and bring about
municipal reform. But his record has
not,been that OF reformer and 1t is not
strange that 1t should be generally sus-
pected that his real purpose was to place
the police ulder his control, and substi-
tute his grip for Croker's. That would
doubtless be an improvement, but far
better plan would be to loosen the grip
OF both, by leaving the police law as 1t
is now and then stirring up the people
to rescue the city from the hands of Tam
many. The ultimate effect OF governing
the city from Albany must be to still
further depress public spirit and dimin-
ish public interest In public affairs. This
would be altogether too high price to
pay for temporary improvement, even
If Improvement were certain, which is
far from bsing the case.
