With the approach of the day for organ
izing the state campaign in Maryland
comes a renewal of the talk about Mr.. Cor
man for the presidency. 1t is shrewdIy
conceived. the design being to help him in
his race for return to the Senate His
friends are in effect adjured; "Bestir your
selves and the result of success this year
will be the naming of the democratic can
didate for President in 1904. Give the
party at large assurance that Mr. German
is again supreme al home, and nothing can
prevent his choice for national leader
An examination of the situation. how
ever. hardly supports that proposition.
Let It be admitted for the sake of argu-
ment that Mr.. Bryan IS good as done

issues which in some form or other. must
be presented?

him in the south but the south will not try
to name the candidate She will consent,
as former occasions, that the man be
chosen with respect to the chances of sue
cess in the debatable territory. And in that
territory there are a good many newly ar
rived foreign and colOred voters who never
could be brought, by any sort of persua-
sion. to support Mr.. German.

nue. lines. and the man who took the Will
son tariff bill after it had passed the House
of Representatives and stuffed it to the
lips with criss-cross protection. answer as
a presidential candidate for the party of
free trade?
Will his money record help him? He has
twice In reluctant way supported Mr..
Bryan for President on a silver PLATFORM
but without surrendering his views as be-
liever in the gold standard. He will be ac-
ceptable to the east that issue. but not
TO those democrats In the middle states and
in the west who hold without reservation

And what will the appeal be to the anti
trust section of the party In favor of a
man whose eminent talents for business
and whose success in their exercise have
brought him into close associations with
organized capital In leading money CEN
ters? Mr.. German meets none of the re-
quirements of candidate who must shout
loud and long against corporate wealth.
No counting Mr.. Bryan and his platform

Sorrows of the Adm In istratfOn.

The surprising and gratifying recovery
of Mrs. Mckinley from the apparently
hopeless collapse of day before yesterday
has revived the hope of the people that
she may yet be spared from death. Her
rally is regarded as remarkable and is now
retarded only by a renewal of the trouble
from the bone felon, as reported today. OF
course this hope does not serve to change
the Presidents decision to abandon the
tour through the northwestern states. for
even with Mrs. Mckinley convalescent 1t
would be impossible for him to proceed
with the journey. the public's attentions
demanding from him eXertions which his
anxiety would by no means permit
1t is most sad that coincidental with
Mrs. McKinley's rally comes news of the
death of Mrs. Gage, wife of the Secretary
of the Treasury Thus gloom is cast
upon the administration circle despite the
revival of confidence In the recovery of the
Presidents wife. In his great grief Sec
retary Gage has the sympathy of the people
of Washington. who have come to know
him personally, as well as that of the whole
nation.

meeting with the pope since the Spanish

meeting with the pope since the Spanish
American war. it is likely that he warmly
congratulated the venerable pontiff upon
the improved prospects of the church in
the former Spanish possessions. Nor can
1t be possible that the pope has felt any
anxiety on the subject. The progress of
the Roman Church in this country, of
which he keeps constantly advised. is all
the assurance he needs as to the Philip
pines and Porto Rico.
AS to the converts. in the Philippines. the
United States has made no demand for
their suppression. There is an important
question at issue growing out of the large
land holdings and land claims of the friars,
and that is in process of judicial settle
ment. This government does not seek to
confscate the rightful property of the re-
Hgious orders. or to decide how the church
may use or improve its own. But there is
q vigorous protest against the longer pres
ence of the friars in the Philippines, not
on the part of this government. but on the
part of the Filipinos, who boldly charge
the friars with tyranny, land grabbing
and the grossest immortality. What seems
likely therefore, and what will benefit both
church and state in the Philippines, is the
transfer of the friars to other fields, and
s'iN
congregations. In that event the adjudi-
Gated property rights of the orders will be
purchased out of the public funds. and
the lands opened to secular ownership and
Improvement. But this, 1t may be seen,
bears no relation to what might be in
ferred from talk about governmental sup
preston of converts in the archipelago.
In the interest of good order, of good
citizenship. of both civil and religious lib
erty in the Philippines, the frars should
go. They are the one remaining feature
of Spanish corruption; and having under
Spanish rule been the fruitful cause of
strife and in many cases the agents Of
oppression, they ought all, as many did,
to have taken ship of their own accord
promptly when the Spanish flag came
down the staff. The United States can
not afford to touch them with a forty-foot
pole. Especially as there are so many
available American-bred priests educated
and experienced in administering the af-
fairs of the Roman communion entirely dis
connected from the affairs Of state.

Courtesy to Children.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Tr,buno

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Kindness and consideration play a most
important and salutary part In the IN.
bringing of children. The little ones
brought up in an atmosphere of kindness

gets content cheerfulness, trustfulness
and confidence; unkindness invites revolt,

pepeh Of tho Earth's Atmospl ere.

The Belgian Royal Meteorological
Observatory has recently published the
various estimates of mathematician
regarding the depth of the atmosphere
surrounding the earth. The calcula-
lions of these savants are certainly
sufficiently curious and divers to re-
aect discredit upon them all. Blot es-
timated the depth at 40 miles; Bra
vais, 70 miles; Mavln, 81 miles; Cal
landraw, 100 miles; Schiaparelli, 125
miles; Marie Davy. 1877; and Ritter,
2l6 miles. During the early part of
the nineteenth century 1t was general
ly accepted in Great Britain as AZ
miles, but the fact that meteors are
lncandescent at much greater height
than this seems to entirely controvert
this idea. Sir Robert Ball makes tho
statement that meteors have been seon
at an altitude OF over 200 miles and
since they only become seeable when
they come In contact with the at
mosphero. It would seem that, II Sir
Robert is correct, Ritter's estimate IS
the nearest to the mark. -Philadelphia
