as a creditor nation" For one of the funda-
mental articles in his political creed has been
the declaration that the gold standard would
inevitably make the United States a debtor
nation Yet no sooner does the country plant
itself firmly on the gold basis than it begins
reaching out rapidly toward the Industrial and
commercial supremacy of the world, and 1t now
finds itself rich enough to lend money to foreign
nations. We have not the slightest doubt that
the farmers Of Kansas and Nebraska, who were
induced to join in the calamity" howl in 1896,
could themselves lend England good part OF
the f1O00000O without serious inconvenience.
Yet these men were told by Mr.. Bryan that the
gold standard would make them "serfs to the
money sharks of Europe" They know better
now and so does Mr.. Bryan; but 1t Is entirely
safe to say that he will not tell them So He
will quietly put that b0gie away as being no
longer effective while he tries to scare his
hearers with the equally absurd bogie of i'm

who have discovered how wrong he was in 1896

PRcking the Supreme Court.

Some indignation has been expressed by
Chairman Jones at the suggestion that Mr.
Bryan, If President. would pack the Su-
preme Court in order to secure a tribunal
which would reverse that courts decision
of the unconstitutionalty of discriminate
ing income tax.
But the threat to do so, though indirect,
Is distinctly expressed in the Chicago plat
form Of 1896 and was reaftirmed recently at
Kansas City.
The Chicago platform said: There would
be no deficit in the revenue but for the an
nulment by the Supreme Court Of a law
passed by a democratic Congress =
We declare that it is the duty of Congress
To use all the constitutional power which
remains after that decision, or which NAV
come by Its reversal by the court as it NAV
hereafter be constituted, 50 that the bur-
dens of taxation may be equally and i'm
partially laid"
The hint of reconstruction of the
Supreme Court to be hereafter effected for
the purpose and with the result of securing
a reversal of the income tax decision could
hardly be given more pointedly.
The process of thus molding and remodel
ing tribunal to the end that it may decide
question to be brought before it in a
predetermined manner is popularity called
packing If the Supreme Court may be
packed to reverse Itself on one point, 1t
may on any other, and the law Of the land
Is threatened with the loss of all stability.

The EnElish-German Alliance,

the most reassuring announcement thus
Tar made in the course of the international
negotiations concerning China is that of to-
day from London to the effect that Ger
many and England have formed an alliance
TO maintain the territorial integrity of China
and to keep the ports open. This agreement
virtually dfsposes Of the remaining doubts
as TO the prospect of peaceful settlement
and along the very lines mostsardently de-
sired by the United States. 1t Is difficult
TO conceive now of the partition of China
or the closing Of the trade door.
The two points of agreement between
England and Germany embrace the whole
OF the American policy. from which there
has been not the slightest deviation from
the outset. The open door and the preser-
walton of China's integrity were originally
the dominant features of Englands policy
in the far east. Before the United States
had entered upon the scene the government
at London was directing its energies to-
ward this attainment, but with Indifferent
chances of success Lord Charles Beres-
fords unofficial journey to China was I'M
dertaken in that interest. At every turn
however. he found the Russian influence op-
posed to the British and he returned to
London somewhat dubious of the future of
both China and British prestige within her
borders.

damages and may have to pay for Its
negligence. But that will not help the pub
lie. 1t is the sad experience of the people
that the railroad corporations do not reckon
their damage losses as reasons for better
ments
Within year two aged people were killed
at grade crossing in lexington. where a
paved street crosses the tracks. Owing to
the fact that .he street has never been con-
demned across the railroads right OF way.
there have been no gates erected there.
There has been nothing done since the acct
dent to make the crossing more secure. The
railroad company has not even awaited itself
of the right 1t asserts to erect a permanent
barrier across the street and thus shut of
all traffic at that point. To do so would at
least keep people out of danger and would
avoid the necessity on the part of the rail-
road Of defending future damage suits. The
Commissioners do not seem to have as yet
tested their right to force the company to
care for these unprotected suburban cross
ings There is a very decided public opinion
that there is room in this direction for posi-
tive and continuous official action.

Plots to assassnate the Car Of Russia
are not uncommon enough to excite sensa
ton, for that royal parsonage additionally
lives in an atmosphere of danger. 1t is re-
ported that the Russian government has
discovered a clue to connect this latest at
tempt at assassination and the plot against
King Humbert. 1t would not be surprising
to find that there Is network Of criminal
intent spreading throughout Europe, and
possibly spun by agents now living in this
country. The Paterson anarchists have be-
come suddenly quiet. but enough was dis
closed immediately after the assassination
Of Humbert to show that there was dis
tinct organization among the Italian and
Hungarian workers in the New Jersey
mills, headed by professional agitators An
investigation Is now under way to disclose
the facts. but 1t is asserted that there will
be but little definitely brought to light.
Yet it is assured that the secret service
agents are keeping a close watch on the
known center of agitation and will do their
utmost to prevent open demonstrations. 1t
is almost beyond human power to go fur
Their and prevent secret Vaccinations
Meanwhile the virus of this disease spreads
throughout Europe and will doubtless cause
occasional eruptions. such the Humbert
assassination. 1t will be to the world 8
greatest good if there are no more fatal at
lacks. Assassination serves no useful pur-
pose today, helps no wholesome doctrine,
permanently destroys no evil influence.
