The Railroad Bills.

The District committee of the House is
displaying an enterprise in taking up the
grade crossing bills which under normal cir
cumstances would be most gratifying.
There are reasons, however, in these par
ticular instances. why the process OF con-
sidering the bills should be delayed There
are features in both bills against which the
most serious arguments He These are IN
brief. the grant of S1.5OO,OoO to the Baltl-
more and Ohio road and the proposition in
the case of the Pennsylvania road for the
construction of two bridges acrss the river

borne exclusively by the government.
The Senate passed both bills. it is appar-

many offsets. which do not seem to have

before every aspect of the matter has been

Work of Secretary Wilson.

From tue Chicago Times Herald.
No matter what may have been thought
of the wisdom of adding to the President s
cabinet a Secretary of Agriculture, it will
ha rdly be denied that the work of Secre-
tary Wilson, even though hampered by in
adequate appropriations, has easily .justi-
fled the creation of that department.
A most important feature of the work in
this department under Secretary Wilson is
the study of foreign markets with special
reference to extending the demands therein
for our agricultural products Five years
ago our total shipments of domestic mer-
chanCise to Asia and Oceanica were val
ued at $4,000 900, of which only 50, 700 900
were agricultural. In 1900 our export trade

If Mr.. Bryan was a statesman and not

Distrust HE Wisdom.
1 am sure the American people rightly
distrust the wisdom of one who thus far
in life has been living expression, in
every address he has made of that best
definition of the essential elements Of
stump speech, namely, to claim every
thing and denounce well.
l am not unmindful of the fact that
there are many conditions in this country
requiring careful, thoughtful and states
manlike dealing with. There are many
evils to which labor is subject that need
to be remedied. Likewise there are many
prejudices unjustly entertained against
capital, but in neither instance can they
be dealt with to the good. of all by any
one who brings to them none of the ele-
merits of a statesman and all Of those
which wholly make up the successful
stump speaker and campaign orator.
Where Remedies Lie.
I believe that more Of the remedy lies
without the pale of enacted legislation
than within it, and that neither labor
nor capital is benefited by public utter
ances on the platform, in legislative halls
and through the columns of the press to
the effect that there is an irrepressible
conflict between them.
l do not believe any man benefits his
country by being a preacher of discon-
tent, strife between classes, social and
political pessimism, financial disorder and
continuous financial gloom, despite sur
roundings and widespread prosperity, and
therefore do not believe in Mr.. Bryan.
There are some things in President Nc
Kinley's administration and official acts
