There have been heard complaints that
Mr.. william Jennings Bryan was not
ma king his newspaper, the Commoner,
bright and lively enough to please its
readers. The suggestion has been thrown
out. indeed that he lacked a sense of
appreciation of the sunny side of human
nature. That this is incorrect-that he
likes a good story, and wild even add an
editorial line of commentator to it's
evidenced by the following from the last
issue of his paper:
IAN interesting story is told by the
New York World as follows: There new
er was a Drouder rooster than that of
Phineas Robinson, of East Patchogue, L.
L. when ore of his wives came off the
nest a week ago with a brood of twelve
beautiful chicks. There never was a
sadder one when. two days later, the
mother hen sickened and died He BROOD
ed in grief half the day, then reused
himself to duty as the nearest surviving
relative. Giving his best imitation of a
clucking hen, he led the brood out for
food. He scratched like a prodigy, he
worked like Trojan, he fairly stuffed
the chicks with fat worms. At night ne
led his dowpy babes to the coop stretch
ed his wings over them and put them to
sleep. This he has done ever since.
There is no prouder father in East Pat

NOT GREATLY INrEREsTEp.

Philadelphia merchants were not great
ly interested in the Southern Industrial
Association. After the first day its meet
ings were not attended by many of Phil
adelphias merchants. So slim was the
attendance on Wednesday, the second
day, that Mr.. Hargrove, the president
of the association, took occasion to say
that he felt some apprehension about the
result Of the convention. He called at
tention to its brilliant beginning and
then quoted the old saying about a good
beginning having a bad ending.
He gave the Philadelphia merchants
some very plain talk. Among other
things he told them that if they expected
to get Southern trade they would have
to work for it-would have to send their
drummers through the Southern states
just as New York, Chicago and Baltimore
did. Mr.. Hargrove is from New Orleans.
and he told the convention that Phil
adelphia drummer was seldom seen in
that city.
1t seems a little remarkable that the
Philadelphia merchants took such little
interest in the convention. According
to their newspapers they were very anx-
ious 10 have the convention meet in their
city. And it must be admitted that their
papers did all it was possible for
them to do to get their merchants and
manufacturers to take an interest in it.
Naturally the delegates from the South
felt somewhat aggrieved at the lack of
attention TO the conventions meetings.
They thought that having Travelled so
great distance for the purpose of bring
ing their section of the country and Phil
adelphia in touch, in respect to matters
in which Southerners and Philadelphians
were mutually interested. Philadelphia
merchants should at least have had suffi-
cient interest in the convention to attend
its sessions.
In his address Wednesday morning
President HarRrove called attention 10
the small attendance and then proceeeed
TO give the Philadelphia merchant some
very good advice-advice which the Rec
ord of that city commented on and ap-
proved. Probably it will turn out that
the convention will have some good re-
suits. Although the merchants did not
turn out strongly at it's meetings tney
may profit by some of the things which
were said and reported in the papers.

The fourth class postmaster is some
times first class fun. says the Indianap-
OILS News. A rural postoffice, somewhere
in wilds which shall be nameless, was
kept by an old nountsineer named Saun-
ders. The department at Washington had
been made aware of gross irregularities
in the management of the office, but as
Saunders owned everywhere in sight
around it, he he'd 1T against all appM-
cants. At last, so the story goes, an in
spector was ordered out to look into af-
fairs.
He was forced to make his way afoot
to the place, whose general wildness,
coupled with the memory of some former
experiences, made him decide to take his
first observations from behind a tree.
The office was a rough pine structure,
in front OF which sat a man, as rough
looking as the shanty, tilted back in a
sphnt boJtomed chair, placidly smoking
a pipe. Presently he laid his pipe down
epd pushing his hat back from his eyes,
peered over into some bushes beyond the
Office and called out:
Il see you. Jim Larkin! you needn't
come sneakin' roun' here I've toll an tot
ye they ye cent hev no mail as longs
We owe me fer them 'taters we bought las
fail Now git"
From behind the bushes a shaggy head
popped UP, and a voice said, pleadingly:
Saunders, I've heern there's two let
tiers here fer me; tibet one tibet come three
months ago, an one tibet come t'other
day, I'd like to hev 'em. I'm feard some
o my folks is sick, or they wouldn't be
a'wrtin' so often"
Mary a letetr do you git till them ia
ters is settled fer!' The postmaster's
voice was decisive.
I've got part of the money to paw We
an Mary said fer me to not dar' come
home without them letters. eff I he'd ter
wallup We to get en-
And now Larkin advanced, holding out
some silver and disclosing himself as
something akin in build and age to Saun-
ders. The postmaster took the money, and
going into the shanty, came ,out with a
letter.
'Thar's half yer mail. Larkin," he said.
Now eff We want t'other ven heV to do
what Mary said fer We to do. Come on!
The next moment, without any prelim-
mary skirmishing, at one another they
went. In less than two minutes Larkin
was completely knocked out.
Thar said the postmaster, brushing
the dirt from his checked shirt and over
aHs. II need jes' a leetle SIGH exercise
ev-ry day to keep me in good health. Tell
Mary I feel so good over wallupin' We
tibet eff she comes over herself she kin
hev tibet letter, and III scratch the rest O.
tibet 'tater money off'n the book
Then the inspector, not unimpressed by
the humors of the rural service, but feel
ing that in this case discretion was the
better part of valor, made tracks for
home without interviewing Saunders, and
reported him at Washington as running
his office on original business principles"

The ways of the AmeTicans are beyond
the power of Spanish comprehension.
When the Treaty of Paris was made it
was provided in the instrument that Spain
should enjoy in the Philippine Islands the
same special privileges of trade that were
enjoyed by the United States, for period
of ten years. The Spaniards thought they
had a good thing. and smiled. The United
States had never by word or act intimated
that they would take 10 themselves any
special trade privileges. but to the Span
ish mind it was a foregone conclusion
that they would do So Why, what could
the Americans want with the islands but
to establish special trade privileges with
them? An equal privilege with the Ameri-
cans, said the Spaniards to themselves,
would prve a valuable franchise. But
time has gone on. and the Americans have
set up for themselves no special privi-
leges; and now Spain is mad about it.
She feels that she has been buncoed.
Prime Minister Sagasta, it is said. has
sounded the Powers to ascertain if they
VAIL support Spain in a protest against
the United States for not keeping the
spirit of the treaty by establishing special
privileges. In other words, Spain wishes
to ask the Powers 10 help her force the
United States to shut them out of the
Philippines at least for ten years. 1t
would all be funny, very funny, if Spain
were not in her dotage.

WHERE THE TROUBLE is.

OF course there is no danger that the
credit of the state will suffer on account
OF the decision of the Supreme Court
that the public property fund must be APP
piled exclusively to the payment of the
public debt The money will be forthcom-
ing to pay the interest on the bonds of
the state. The Governor has power to
borrow $2O0 600 and that amount viii be
sufficient to pay the bond interest and
also. perhaps. the amount due the school
teachers. The only difference between the
states financial condition this year and
last is that last year the public property
fund was drawn upon to tide over the
deficiency until the taxes began to he
paid in December.
The whole trouble is with the Legis-
lature. This entire matter was fully dis
cussed when the appropriation biIls were
under consideration. 1t was pointed out
then that the revenues would not meet
the appropriations. The Legislature eth
er did not or would not understand that
it was making appropriations beyond the
states income. And yet the problem was
a plain one. 1t was known just about
what the states revenues would be The
Legislature fixed the rate of taxation and
the amount Of the assessments was obtain
able. And yet in the face Of the knowl-
edge of what the states income would
be these excessive appropriations were
mace.
And there was no disposition shown to
cut down expenses 1t was. pointed out
that the pension charge was becoming so
large that some means would have to be
adopted for increasing the revenue or
else there would have to be economy in
expenditures. 1t was suggested that the
question of biennial sessions be consider
ed, but the suggestion met with no favor
1t was urged that the whole pension bus
mess be investigated because of asser-
tions that persons were getting pensions
who We're not in need Of them, but moth
ing was done in this matter Indeed the
states financial coTMition did not have
the attention it ouYt to have had-at
least that is the impressioe which the
present financial muddle makes. The Gov
error says that he called the attention of
the Legislature to the fact that it must
raise the rate of taxation or reduce the
appropriations. If he had told that body
to start a movement in favor of biennial
sessions and for cutting down the pension
charge by wedding out the pensioners on
the list who are earning comfortable sal
aries or who are not entitled to pensions
he would nave accomplished more per-
haps than by his general admonition that
the tax rate must be raised or the ap-
propriatons reduced.
One thing is now certain and that is
that there can be no more doubt as to
there being deficiency in the school
fund or as to the amount the state must
raise annually in order to meet its obli-
cations. ..s

They were told TO light a candle and
let it down, and if 1t continued 20 burn
