Mr.. German the Leader.

Mr. Gorman's refusal to indorse Bryan
ism at Baltimore Thursday has led to his
being classed in certain quarters as fol-
lower of Mr.. Mclean. This is mistake.
Mr. German is the leader. Two years ago,
when Mr.. Bryan was the undisputed mas
ter of the national situation, Mr.. German
put up a state ticket in Maryland ard
elected it on a platform which contained
no reference to the Nebraskan and his
policies. He did this, too, despite the
threats of the Maryland Silver Democratic
Association, and facing the likelihood that
Mr.. Bryan would again be the party 5
candidate for President.
AT that time Mr.. Mclean was the nom
inee of his party for governor of Ohio, and
his platform was built of Bryan timber
The planks were hewn and trimmed to suit
the Bryanite taste The cries from the
stump were all of the regulation order. Free
silver coinage and the peerless leader le-
ceiYed assurances of continued devotion
wherever two three were gathered to-
gether to hear the party doctrine eNround-
ed. But it was all in vain. Mr.. Mclean
was showed under by enormous major
ity, while Mr.. German had the satisfaction
OF seeing his man triumph.
But notwithstanding this temporary sep
aration of Mr.. German and Mr.. Mclean,
the next year found them with shields lock-
ed again in support of Mr. Bryan and his
free silver policy. Mr.. German had not
changed his views on the subject, but sur
rendered at the behest of the majority Of
his party. and went to battle, as in 1895,
under flag he despised. Mr.. Mclean, for
his part, had only to take up this cries Of
the year before, and give mis- lungs full
and loving play. Then they failed to-
gether, and since that time each as the
master of the party machine in his state
has had his own calculations to make as
to the future.
Now Mr.. Mclean crosses over to Mr..
Germans side. He yields to the local sit
uation as Mr.. German did to the national
situation. Without changing mis- views as
to silver. he guides by the sentiment of
Ohio as three times expressed on the sub
ject and drops silver as an issue not worth
another trial at this time. He Is now a
candidate for the United States Senate,
and Is advocating only such things is he
thinks are expedient.
Mr.. German then, and not Mr.. Mclean.
has shown the way in this matter How
ever, even if both should win in this years s
contests, both will again be found in Mr..
Bryan's train if fortune, by some uncx-
pected move, should enable Mr.. Bryan
again to write his party's national platform
and head it's national ticket.

Spinal Curvature.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Examination of q 900 college students
In the United States shows that curvature
OF the spine affects one out Of eighteen of
noteworthy students while among those
who are athletic rather than studious the
proportion is only one in sixty. More than
3 per cent OF applicants for examination
for admission to college were found at
fected by scoliosis. presumably from too
constant addiction to the STOPPING posture
while studying. Growth OF this DANGEROUS
disease requires checking IL learning is
not to develop large class Of deformed
and unhealthful Americans.

The Retail Milk Dealer.

Once more the retail milk dealers who
are being subjected to fines in the Police
Court raise the plea that the laws hand
should be laid upon the wholesalers rather
than upon them, alleging, probably with
truth, that they have no knowledge Of the
adulteration of the milk when they receive
and sell 1t. While this plea may arouse
the sympathy of the public and even of
the authorities for the retailers who are
thus 1nnocently made the victims pecu-
niarily Of the vicious practices of the
wholesalers, it Is not safe to permit senti-
ment to interfere with the impartial ad-
ministration of the law. 1t is unfortunate
If the retailers have no means to protect
themselves at all points. But the law is
framed not for their protection, but for
the security Of the consumers. who are ex-
posed even more to the frauds Of the dairy
men than are the middlemen, and whose
health is endangered and not their purses
alone. If the courts were to accept the
plea of ignorance on the part of these deal
ers there would be no guarantee what
ever of honesty in this branch Of the bust
ness and the consumers would be left ex-
posed to criminal practices on the part of
both the wholesalers and the retailers.
The law should undoubtedly reach the
wholesalers primarily and put upon them
the heaviest responsibility to preserve the
supply from adulteration. But difficulties
are in the way at present which cannot be
Immediately remedied. The mechanism Of
prevention and detection is defective at
best and requires amendment by statute.
There should be, IN the first place, wider
authority on the part of the District in
spectors. In fact the law should grant
authority Of arrest by District officials or
on their warrant in adjoining states when
adulteration is traced to a dairy outside of
the District. There is as serious need Of
interstate legislation on this score as in
the case of oleomargarine When the milk
has been brought into the District 1t should
be subjected to inspection on a broad, thor
ough and systematic scale, as at a number
of properly located central stations. where
testing samples may be taken from the
supply at random to insure a high stand
ard Of excellence in all the contributions
Until some such system is devised the Dis
trict, which obtains it's milk from a great
variety of sources within three distinct
Jurisdictions, viii be open to frauds be-
yond the reach of the local authorities.
In the legislation which Is clearly neces-
sary to provide a satisfactory barrier be-
tween the milk consumer and these frauds,
consumer, while the retailer should next
be regarded entitled to such protection
as will incidentally accrue to him through
the operation Of sweeping preventives at
the primary source Of the supply.

Shade Trees In Danger.

While the Outdoor Art Association was
In session and suggesting the improve
ment of the river banks by the planting
Of vines and foliage, somebody hinted
that the association should devote a share
of it's energy to the Improvement Of the
streets, by encouraging the planting of
shade trees and giving advice as to the
care of trees now growing by the road
sides. This suggestion is worthy Of con-
sideration, as the cultivation of shade trees
beauties a city probably more than any
other artificial Improvement A caterpii-
lar Is now causing great deal Of anxiety
among the admirers Of trees In milwaukee,.
