THE COMMONER,


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue a
circulation OF 100, 600 copies, record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
TO the discussion OF political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
Of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib.
utes his best efforts: and his review OF
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's egularsubscription
price is $l.00 per year. We have ar.
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
$1.50. The regular subscription price OF
the two papers when subscribed for
separately is $500.

KISSES FORBIDDEN.
Osculatory Leave Taking Must Be
Cut Out in Jersey Central Depot.
Decree sent Forth by the officials and
the Train and Gafenen Have
TrOubIous Times En-
forcing the Order.

"All frainmsn, gatemen and ticket
examiners of the Jersey City exits Will
stop all persons from exchanging
kisses upon the arrival and departure
of trains in this station. This order
must be rigidly enforced" is an order
signed by Superintendent z. 7. a. Aber-
crornbie, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. and read for the first time to
the trainmen. ticket examiners and
gatemen at the Jersey City terminus
of the Pennsylvania railroad recently.
The employees were instructed YER
baliy BY Mr. Abercrombie 10 see that
the order was rigidly enforced. and the
ratemen are having their own troubles
in carrying out their chiefs instruc-
tions.
IT is claimed that during the rush Of
travel the exits and entrances have
been blocked by those anxious to ex-
change greetings with their arriving
or departing friends. John I. Metcalf,
veteran gateman. said:
81 have been with this company 30
years. but I'll be hanged if ever had
anything like this put up to me before.
j see my finish right now"
1t is estimated that the actual time
lost each day in kissing at the Jersey
City terminus, if added together, would
consume ten solid days
There were several ludicrous scenes
when the sateman attempted to pre-
vent the afYectionate caress. Men grew
angry and the women-well, they gem
orally cried and denounced the gate
man as a "horrid man."

BONES OF EXTINCT DEER.
Workmen at Syracuse. n. ", Discover
the Petrified Remains While
Digging Excavation.

Workman on the excavations which
are being made for the new Ives
block at Syracuse. n. Y, discovered
the petrified bones of an extinct
mammoth deer. They were found in
Il bed of soft mari. underneath a
layer of calcareous rock. The bones
have reddish color as though
altered by water containing iron.
Prof. Philip Schneider. of the SYRIA
cuse high school, says that the bones
are no doubt part of the skeleton of
the cervus Americans, Tho creature
measured 12, feet between the tips of
the antlers. Very few specimens of
the bones of this animal have ever
been obtained in this state, although
many excellent ones have been OBJ
tanned in Ireland. Prof. Schneider
says that herds of the animals once
roamed over the present site of
Syracuse. The bones viii probably
be presented to Syracuse university.

is checkered and romantic. When he
was small boy his parents were eyict-
ed from an Irish home. At the age of
II he lost his right arm in the machin-
cry Of Lancashire mill where he was
working. From a precarious career as
newsboy and a printers devil he
drifted into the Fenian brotherhood
before he was 20, and was sentenced to
Is years of penal seryitude in 1870, but
after five years in prison he was re-
leased With Parnell he helped to
found the Irish Land league in 1879, Wis
iting America on that mission Short
ly after his return he was again thrown
into prison, was released, was again
imprisoned, was elected TO parliament
while in prison, and has spent his lat
ter years partly in parliament and
partly in travelling. In writing his
book on the Beers he spent some
months inside the Boer lines.

TO DISPROVE KOCH THEORY.
French Doctor InocuIates Himself
with Consumptiye Cow Matter
and Waits for Death.

DR.. Garnault. of Paris, who chal-
Ienged Prof. Koch's announcement at
the London tuberculosis congress last
year that it was impossible for hui
man beings to catch tuberculosis from
cattle. and who went to Berlin and
offered to make a practical test. has
since made an exhaustive study of the
subject. He accuses Prof. Koch of de-
eeiving public opinion.
DIR. Garnault. in order to prove his
contention, went to the slaughter
houses of La Nilletteya and inoculated
himselfwith consumptive matter taken
from diseased cow. On the previous
night DIR. Garnault blistered his fore
arm below the elbow, and after expos
ing the wound. from which the blood
was flowing freely applied to it a poul
tice composed of pounded glands of the
cow.
The doctor does not expect results
for two or three weeks. The disease
may then manifest itself in the form
of local affection and then spread
to the lungs. If the disease declares
itself DR. Garnault will be treated by
DIR. Theodore Smith. of Boston Mass,
who has been exposed to the dangers
of contagion of bovine tuberculosis.
DR.. Garnault said: '"rhe veins were
avoided in inoculating in order to OBJ
tain the maximum demonstrative eff
fects with the minimum risks. If CON
tagion results Prof. Koch's error will
be proved. If the result is negative
| shall make an intravenous injection
in one of my fingers. which | shall am
putate if contagion occurs"

KING ALFONSO XII.

the least democratic lawmakers the
world has ever known.
A rigid union of church and state
60 their mutual injury remains am
other barrier in the way of prog
ress. Local self-government has e.N-
listed for centuries, and is wholly in
dependent of the national legislature
and executive, according to the con
stitution, but in fact the aristocracy
and crown. with the aid of the army,
leave little except a name of local
self-governmentt throughout the coun-
try,
Alfonso becomes the sovereign of
a nation four-ffths of whom can
neither read nor write. Yet the
country has many universities upon
which public money is lavished for
the privileged few A compulsory
school law was passed nearly half
century ago, but there has never
been sincere attempt to put it
into operation.
No monument in history proclaim
ing the failure of higher education
to benefit the common people rises
into more disgraceful conspicuous
ness than the monumental illiteracy
of Spain when its young king. amid
pomp and pagentry assumes his he
reditary Office.
The spectacle is one to arouse pro-
found sympathy for the people Of
Spain, to whose genius i'm the past
tie world is so profoundly indebted.
The spectacle is one to warn every
community against spending money
upon higher education while failing
70 afford ample schooling for the
children of the people.
King Alfonso win be the nominal
commander of an army in which all
Spaniards over 10 years Of age are
obliged TO serve three years. unless
release is procured by substitute.
The young king win command a
nominal navy whose pathetic history
Reached tragic close under the
