WHERE is ROOSEVELT

speaking of vacations, in what solitude has the
strenuously clustering Roosevelt lost himsef?' the
Boston Herald asks Is he doing penance of silence
for all that he said amiss while he candidate for
vice PRESIDENT Or has he been shocked into melan-
chofy by the sudden popularity in New York OF Cover
nor odellf is long, long time since he treated the
Nation TO of his CHEEKY whoops He has not been
so STILL IL memory serves, any other time since
that summer of his desolation after Blaine had been
nominated for president Possibly he has gone to his
ranch, or is hunting the mountain lion that got away
from him last But how strange it must seem to
him that no reporters attend to bazon forth his
achievements. He may have hidden Long island to
write book; but who would have thought year ago
that our Teddy could be hidden anywhere in tho
known world? Verify 1t If the vice preslden-
cy had overcome him like cloud a reposeful

A QUESTION OF ISSUES.


The Commoner, in its analysis of the Ohio platform,
gives space to the following:
The tariff plank Is the first plank dealivg with National
issues and If position in the platform indicates anything
paramount issue This is the contention Of those democrats
soesled democrats who find in the tariff question about
yet the absurdy OF their position IS evident from the tact
that they voted for Mr. Mckinley the high priest of prooc
clare that the question dead and that they want
return TO the democratic party, or rather they express IT,
And yet they afraid of issue which they call dead
that they will vote for high tariff trust controlled and i'm
pcalstic administration rather than support democratic
ticket platform indorsing free silver"
The Commoner may have gone too far in nferring
that the Ohio convention acted under inspiration from
doubtful in this matter, but 1t has certainly
made mistake in locating the so-called democrats
who after repeated desertion, seeking recog
milton party reorganizers There has been no
change in the democratic position the tariff ques
ton Its importance has not been discounted to make
way for issues. On the contrary, issues were
faced simply to- if possible prevent the accession to
power Of party pledged to the prevention of tariff re-
form. If there was any yielding to the issues
habit it the part of those who have been
marching in the Mckinley procession since 1896 and
strengthening the position of the anointed high priests
of protection. The tariff issue is more paramount
than it ever Thanks to the votes of spurious
democrats, however, trusts and monopolies have ac
quired wealth, power and hold the government to
such degree that the difficulties in the way of secur
ing equitable REIMBURSEMENT of our customs laws
have reached alarming proportions. ould it, then be
safe to trust the direction of the next campaign
faction responsible for this condition of affairs
especially as it has issue upon which go before
the people TO suggest the of reform it has
done the most TO prevent for five years past by form
ing an alliance with the avowed opponents thereof?

RANK cHARrgR EXTENSION.


National bank directors throughout the country are
looking for the next session of congress to take up
bill for the extension of National bank charters I'm
less some action is taken in this direction before July
next a number of National banking institutions will
find themselves in embarrassing position.
There are over 1900 National banks in the country
whose charters will expire at various times after July
H. 1902 and whose corporate existence after that date
not provided for Nor the charters be extended
without further action of congress The original act
passed in 1863 gave contract to National banks then
for nineteen years In 1882 congress authorized the
comptroller of the currency to extend the charters for
twenty years until 1902 AT the last session of
gress the question of charter extension up but it
met with unexpected opposition Senator Allison said
that it was question which would surely cause de-
bate, and he thought that had better so until
the next session. in order that might have sufficient
consideration.
Comptroller Dawes finds that the act of 1882 does
not give him authority to make another extension of
the charters. OF course the banks that have been
established since that time viii have the benefit of
single extension but those which given extern
sion can not have another without legislation. In
July, next year the expiratons begin and unless
acts in the meantime companies will have tc
