MI. Bryan Adheres Firmly to the POI
sftfOn He Assumed
in 1896.

Democratic politicians and critics
high in authority and influence have
urged Mr.. Bryan to abandon the sill
yer question or at least relegate it TO
the rear. 1t has been pointed out to
him that it is not and cannot be the
vital issue Of the coming campaign,
and that with a republican senate
pledged to the single gold standard
the agitation at this juncture is futile
and inexpedient. Mr.. Bryan has been
told many times that his firm ad-
hesion to the principal doctrine of the
go campaign will cost him many
votes. But he refuses to stray one
inch from his convictions, even
though they may interfere with his
campaign. And his position, certain
~ noble one, is also perfectly sound
and logical. Briefly, it is this: The
Man above the Dollar. The immedi-
ate problems that demand solution
are the trusts and Imperialism. Mr..
Bryan maintains that imperialism is
the offspring of the trusts and that
the money trust is the father of them
all.
In a presidential campaign there is
bound to be more than one issue
Sometimes an issue is so great, Sc
overwhelming in its necessitiesethat
it forces all others to the background;
but this does not by any means imply
retirement or the abandonment of any
cause that has its foundations in the
interests of the common people. The
democratic party is not party of one
idea.
Mr.. Bryan. having eSpoused a lust
cause, does not abandon it merely up
on the ground of expediency, or to fur
Their personal ambition. Herein he
differs from Mr.. Mckinley; and here
in is one great secret of his hold on
the masses. Mr.. Mckinley has not
the same hold because he is the crea-
ture of political expediency and per-
sonal ambition. 1t is better to have
statesman in the white house than
Politician.-Los Angeles Herald.

have luncheon rooms equipped with
hot water and gas stoves. One firm
serves coffee at two cents cup and
another furnishes it free on cold days.
Four firms provide food for employees
at a discount of 10 or Is per cent.
In two or three stores physician and
drugs are free for all employees.
One store helps sick employees without
discrimination.

Capt. Younghusband, British Of
ficer in India, visited the Philippines
a yer ago and warned the American
government that its Philippine army
would in time be seriously injured by
the amount of alcohol it was con-
Stunning. Long experience has taught
even the British that alcohol is I'M
usually injurious in the tropics. No
tropical nation is a drinking nation.
The Filipinos, who have lived 1000
years in the islands, know more about
the proper diet for such a climate
than the visitors who are now making
their first experiments on the subject.

A hint of the next fad or fashion
in curative way may be fouryd in an
experiment performed at Bellevue
hospital in New York. A physician
has invented an oven, into which the
patient is inserted-all except his
head-and subjected to temperature
which under other circumstances
would suffice for a barbecue. The
heated air is withdrawn as rapidly as
it becomes laden with the perspira-
ton of the patient. After he has been
baked long enough to be well done he
is taken out, rolled in heavy blankets
and finished off with a massage.

NEW DANGER FROM TRUSTS,
Manipulation OF Stocks by Shrevyd
Spectators Under Trust
Control.

The Springfield (AIass.) News calls
attention to a new danger from the
great trusts growing out of similar
operations as that of the steel trust,
which recently shut down its mills.
throwing 5000 men out of work. and
then, on Pretense- of overproduction..
bearing the industrial stock market
to the extent Of losses running up
into the millions of dollars.
This" says the News, sis a reve-
-lation of the possibility of just such
manipulations of stock by shrewd
spectators in control of the trusts
which is opening the eyes of the pub
lie to hitherto too little considered
danger from these enormous aggrega-
tions of capital in control of the
great staples of popular consumption.
Under the Industrial system in vogue
previous to the trust combines no one
concern would dare to attempt to de-
press its own stock, as its competitors
would at once take advantage of the
opportunity to push their own inter
ests- But under the combine system
the magnates of any trust, usually un-
scrupuious, always greedy, can but
perceive the opportunities tempting
them to work schemes on the stock
market for their individual profit. To-
day its rests with a few leaders of the
great trusts to precipitate a financial
panic upon the nation whenever it
may seem profitable to them to bear
the market, and incidentally throw
millions of employees out of work.

Ob.tructfon In the Senate.
Senator Hanna is obstructing bust
ness in the senate because he can't
make up his mind to drop the ship
subsidy bill. He might as well, for he
cannot possibly get votes enough to
pass it. The vote on the Quay case
marked the climax of republican dis
content and disorganization in the SEN
ate.
The democrats, however, promise
that congress shall stay in session all
summer rather than permit the pas
sage of the subsidy grab. Practically
no business has been done in the senate
for the last two weeks. The democrats
are waiting for distinct assurance
that the subsidy bill will not be
brought up. If that is given and def
mite schedule agreed upon, the big APP
preparation bills and the Spooner Phil
ippine control measure will be disposed
of in time for adjournment by the mid
die of June.
1t all rests with Senator Hanna and
his friends. They will have to make up
their minds very promptly if they are
to have an early adjournment.
The Idaho Mining Troubles.
The investigation of the Idaho min
ing troubles by the house committee
on military affairs is nearing close.
The actual facts disclosed show a
worse state of affairs than were sug-
gested by the resolution of inyestiga-
ton. 1t appears that in Idaho the
state and military authorities con-
spired to evade and disregard the laws
of the state and the constitution of the
United States in order to enforce what
is known as the permit" system.
That is, no man could obtain work
or stay in the country unless on
a written permit from certain officials
The soldiers have been used to enforce
this regulation. The attempt of the
United States military and Idaho state
authorities to divide responsibility an6
evade rebuke only increases the gravity
| of the offenSe.

asylum, says that purely mental and
moral causes play but a small part
in the production of insanity, as COM
pared with causes bodily and physi-
cal. Only Ills per cent. of the cases
he has examined were due to anxiety
or mental shock. The rest were
traceable to causes acting on the brain
through the medium of the body
drink, faulty development, gross
brain disease, strong hereditary pre-
disposition, childbearings etc.
