Mr.. Bryan to Mr.. Cleveland.

Mr. Bryan's challenge to Mr.. Cleveland,
in the form of an offer of a reward, to
apply democratic principles the latter
understands them to the leading issues of
the day is open to two objections, either
one of which it is to be feared, is sufficient
to preclude acceptance.
"a The amount is beggarly. Surely Mr..
Bryan made his figures in haste or in jest.
Six dollars for five hundred words on a
subject of prime national interest? Mr..
Cleveland could not afford to put pen to
paper for that. He could name his own
price in any other publication than the
COmmoner in the United States And, what
is more, space limit would run against
him elsewhere. Other publications would
prefer q communication of five thousand
words, and moreover would engage to
double-lead every line of it. And there
would be money in it for the publisher on
Mr.. Cleveland's own terms So that Mr..
Bryan on the score of space rates holds out
no temptation whatever.
(2) Mr.. Bryan's tone is scarcely respect
full. 1t is almost f1ippant. 1t is not far
from yellowish. 1t suggests Tammany
And maybe that is sufficient to condemn it.
Come. now " he as much as says to Mr.
Cleveland. You are little chesty the
subject Oh ueiIlOcrdllC principles, anu WOulu
have the public believe that you are an
authority on the subject. Let us hear from
you specifically. Give the common people
through sake Commoner some idea of what
you mean. Come down out of your poly
syllable generalities and state your case in
every day terms What do you know about
democratic principles anyhow? You are no
democrat. You sold the party out when
you were President, and have aided the
enemy in two national campaigns since
Don't you think it is rather presumptuous
in you to be prating about something you
have either not understood in the past, or
have knowingly been false to? But If you
do know anything. let's have it. The col
umns of the Commoner are open to YOU
This won't do. This is no way to get up
controversy with man of Mr.. CIeve-
lands position and influence 1t will justify
complete silence on his part, and maybe
that will be the result. But If disposed to
waive the objection, Mr.. Cleveland could
easily reply to Mr.. Bryan, and in much
shorter space than the latter has pre-
scribed. This communication might read:
Dear Sir: In reply to your request for a
definition in five hundred words of demo-
cratic principles, 1 hand it you herewith in
two-Grover Cleveland" Wouldn't that
fairly entitle Mr.. Cleveland to the six dol
lars? 1t would fairly represent his views.

Restricting Sale of P0isons.
From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

No intelligent reader of the Newspapers
needs to be told that poisOns are much too
easily obtained by people who make harm
fui use OF them. In connection with nearly
every suicide by poison the fact is de-
veloped that the drug was obtained with
out dimculty, and In a majority of cases
no questions were asked The laws should
be sufficiently stringent to make the pur-
chase of poison impossible without a ply
sician's prescription. and even in this case
no careful druggist will rely wholly upon
the prescription should there be suspicious
circumstances connected with the purchase
Suicide will not be stopped by making tie
purchase of poisons impossible by lay,nen,
but fruitful source of scandal and shame
to the drug trade will be removed

The Man With n Pull.

tbs not the man of valorous mood,
All ardent for the fray,
Who is most certain to secure
Mems plaudits, day by day.
Some men may toll and shear the sheep
While others get the wool
The worker Oft must yield unto
The man who has pull.
And yet the one who glory holds
Beyond his rightful share
Must feel he sits beneath sword
Suspended by hair.
And he who leads a placid life
OF honest effort full
Need feel, perhaps, no envy of
The man who has a pull.

Not Alarmed.

Il suppose you realize that the effete
monarchies of Europe are trying to make
us envious of their displays Of courtly
splendor."
"Oh, yes,' answered the easy-going clti-
zen. But turn about is fair play. When
they see how we are selling iron and oTher
merchandise on their territory I guess they
get little jealous themselves once in
awhile

Received Through Ownership of Boston
 and Albany.
 President Hall of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad says that the $1,O5O,000 holding of New Haven railroad shares which appears in the New York Centrals assets and which has excited some comment in New Eng land came to the New York Central un- der the Boston and Albany lease. and was obtained by the latter company when, in connection with the Wander bilts, it tried to buy control of the New England Railroad company several years ago.
 The New England stock was subse- quently exchanged-in the ratio of to preferred and to 1 common stock for New Haven shares. The ownership of the shares by the New York Central has, therefore, no particular signifi- canoe.
