THE dense Ignorance of Mr..
McKinley's attorneys general on the
trust question is one of the most
marvellous natural phenomena of
modern times. AS an eighth wonder
of the world it can be distanced, if
at all, only by the strange and pc
culiar fortune of President McKin-
lev and Senator Hanna in learning
their names and addresses and in
ducing them to accept the position
of enforcer of the antitrust laws
Omaha World Herald.
There has been very pro
nounced division among republicans
upon the action to be taken toward
the tariff during the next session Of
congress. The Babcock element
seems determined to remove the tar
iff from trust-proteeted goods. The
Henna crowd is equally determined
that there shall be no tampering witt
the Dingley measure. These two
cliques are indulging in furious
mud-slinging contest. The democrat

BRYAN LECTURES HARPER.
versity President for His Atti-
tude Toward Young Woman.

w. J. Bryan, in his Commoner, lee
lures President Harper, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, for, as he says,
humiliating prospective student
who asked DR.. Harper TO meet her al
the Chicago depot. Mr.. Bryan says:
Evidently DR.. Harper regarded
this request in the nature of lese ma
jeste, for it appears that he gave this
letter to the newspapers and these
determinations of facts and fiction
have made vast amount of noise
concerning this simple request.
'It would seem that President
Harper was greatly shocked because
this prospective student asked SO en-
inent man to meet her at the depot
and assist her in reaching the college
sit would have been vastly to DR.
Harper's credit had he simply detailed
one of the subordinates, with whom
he is plentifully supplied, to comply
with this girls request, or, if that
was not possible, he might have sc
notified his correspondent"

Wall street says business never was

The banks there have but little
cash beyond the reserve they are

radically wrong with system that has
SO little stability. One of the causes
is over capitalization of the trusts

(MR. BRYAN IS PAPER

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
a circulation Of 100,0 900 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history
of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in
the newspaper field for national
paper devoted to the discussion of
political, economic, and social prob
lens. To the columns Of the Common
er Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review of political
events as they arise from time to time
can not fail to interest those who
study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subScrip-
tion price is S1.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the TWICE
A-WEEK PLAIN DEALER together for
one year for Sligo. The regular sub
scription price of the two papers when
Inscribed for separated Y is $500.

Perhaps 1t has not occurred TO most per-
sons that there have been more English
Queens than English Kings. This is so be-
cause every King of England has had one
or more wives who have been Queens and
there have been two or three unmarried
Queens. Not all Of the Queens, however,
have reigned. Six have done So The
Queens regnant have been Matilda of the
Norman line. Elizabeth of York, Mary III,

the first year of his second administra-
ton had nominated him for a third term
his second administration would have been
handicapped and his usefulness and popu-
larity seriously impaired If he had not
come out with prompt reputation Of the
suggestion, as President Mckinley did.
The trainers of the Constitution left the
question of a third term. and even OF
second one, for the people to decide. They
have decided, and have given their decision
the force of established custom, that a
good record entities a President TO a sec
ond term, and they have also decided that
they do not believe in swapping horses
while crossing stream" But no national
crisis has yet arisen that has led them
to consider favorably the proposition OF a
third continuous term. There is no reason
TO believe ii would have been favorably
considered in the case of Mr.. Lincoln If he
had lived, and it certainly would have been
regarded as a very offensive proposition
to be made in the first year of a sec
ond administration. The lesson of the De-
pew-Grosvenor incident is that the question
of third term had better be considered
as settled in the negative unless the people,
in their sovereign capacity and of their own
motion, reopen it, They know a national
crisis when they see it, and they know how
TO deal with one without being coached
