Collector Stackable's -uling regard
ing the boarding Of steamers from San
Francisco Is u sensible conclusion to
a much discussed problem. Having no
other means OF obtaining news Of the
world than from the files and des-
patches brought by the seeamers. the
newspaper men are performing a pub
lie service in securing papers from the
steamers as soon as possible. In no
other American port is there such good
reason to warrant the privileges grant
ed by Collector Stackable and there is
no prospect that the collector will come
in conflict with the opinions Of his SUI
periors by reason Of his ruling.

BRYAN'S 1.-THE cONMONER"

In the first issue of his "The Com
moner" Editor VIM. ]. Bryan says he
need make no apology for the use of
the term, and straightway goes to work
to explain why he uses II. The mere
fact that Editor Bryan feels called upon
to make an explanation is the most se-
rlous comment that could be offered. Il
shows his opponents that there Is an
apparent II not real desire to create a
class sentiment which should not exist
and certainly II it does exist to the
slightest extent will not be lessened
by oft calling attention to It and as
sociating the progressive present with
the degrading influences OF the past.
The COmmOner" Is not brilliant
either in material thought or mechani-
cal makeup. 1t shows at once that
Bryan must depend on his free adver-
Using as a candidate and his reputa-
tlon as an orator to keep his paper
going. Edited by any other person
than Bryan, THE CommOner" would
attract no wider attention than the
most commonplace country weekly or
political pamphlet. The paper will
doubtless be bought far and wide TO see
what Bryan says but should he by
any Of the shifting phases Of politics
be relegated to the background, he
would make very precarious living as
newspaper writer.
In its agitation against the Trusts
and disapproval of an "arlstocracy of
wealth" "The Commoner" has an OPP
portunity not without its very estima-
bic features, Should the American Re
public reach that stage where 1t Is in
the hands of associated corporations

the destruction Of strong, Independent
citizenship The present tendency is
unquestionably in that direction. It

The Chinese fire claims are just now
