At one time there was possibility that MT. Bryan might become presi- dential timber for the future. If, after his defeat in 1896, he had maintained himself with dignity in the back ground, and had refrained from efforts to keep in the glare of the footlights and had resisted the temptation to boss his party, cultivating the virtue Of si- lence. meanwhile. events might have so shaped themselves as to bring him to the front again. But the past few years have brought out in graphic lines the weaknesses of his nature. His head was turned, undoubtedly, by his two nominations, and he has shown a lack of that poise which Americans demand of their leaders. Instead of growing with opportunity, as McKin- ley did, Bryan has shrunk. No wielder of billingsgate can be elected president. and MT. Bryan gives evidence that he has degenerated into a common scold. He is an honest, sincere man, unques- tionably. but he is not of presidential stature.

The Bill For Post-Check Currency

Representative Washington Gardner, of Michigan has introduced a bill to provide for "post-cheCk-notes" of the denominations of $1. s2. and &. The bill is identical in wording with the one which received the approval of the postoffice department and was favor ably reported from the postoffice com mittee of the house at last session. The bill in no way affects the currency laws. but provides simply that after its passage all notes of the denomina tions referred to issued by the govern ment shall contain certain blank lines on their face which the holder can fill out and thus convert his money into what is practically a check on the government for transmission through the mails. It is contended that the constant reissue of such paper money will insure clean bills. eliminate post age stamps to a great degree as a means of remittance and give those living remote from money order pest offices a conver tent means of remitting through the m: ills.

Journalism and Farming,

Governor BrOdie has insisted that he took no part in the fight for Secre- tary Stoddard's removal. The local "GaZoot." which claims vociferously that 1t is the governors personal or gan-and, the echoes say, tearfully asks support from business men on that ground-comes to the front with a labored effort to prove that the gov ernor has shaped the fight against MT. Stoddard. Not long ago. it is under stood, the governor expressed an em- phatic opinion that the amiable gentle men who are operating the "Gazoot'' are better fitted for farming than for the newspaper business, and it is fair to infer now that his Excellency is fully confirmed in that belief.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

Every cheap politician, socialist. and demagogue in this country knows a smattering aboIt Glasgow. and is con- stantlv holding up that Scotch city as a model fer American municipalities" said Mir P. F. Dundon, manager of the San Francisco Iron works and presi- dent Of c; big timber company in the state of WaShi' igton. to Post r-o0rt- CT at the Metr )pol!tan.
 ''I was in CT lsgow this summer for some weeks. Id while there made it my bushes to find out something of the condition c the people and of the much-vaunted own ownership of pub lie utilities. Or of the first things studied was tn cir system of taxation. found out tt at the way they raise money is to tf x rentals derived from realty. and that the rate is six shillings in the pound O about 90 per cent. This Is fully as high as the municipal. coun- ty. and state taxation borne by the people of San francisco. While on this subject I will s.Iy that here in the Uni- ted Sta es the income from property of equal value $ greater than that pro- duced from property in Glasgow. It is also true that our artisans and better classes of labO CTS here live as we'll as people who are considered well to do in the old oountr:
 The rnunici al ownership matter is one that is not very we'll understood on this side Of tn Atlantic. and we have had a great .leal of transformation concerning it. Take the street car charges, for instance. and they are not much lower in Glasgow than in Amer lea the chief q ference being that neo- pie pay there ccording to the distance travelled In the matter of lighting there is more 2 oparent contrast in cost but after all. when the difference in cost of living nd in wages is consid- cred, l do no1 believe that the aver age charge in American cities to con- sumers of gas and electricity is much greater than a broad.
 "I came back home fully satisfied that there is Ve1y little practical reason for the adoption of the municipal own ership plan in he United States. and think that we will get along quite as well by pursuing our present -o.icv |" Washington Post.

Bryan on Cleveland

That William J. Bryan has finally abandoned all hope of being elected president, now or hereafter, seems evil dent from his remarks about MT. Cleveland. As the Nebraska statesman was leaving for Europe he said to a New York World reporter:
 ITO carry out a bargain with Wall street, Cleveland made the White house the rendezvous of syndicates and ex- ploitery and administered the treas ury department in a way that makes the record of the unjust steward of the Bible seem parsimonious by compari- son. Cleveland has never had a chance of success since 1896. and he is so old now that he would be sunk in senile decrepture before he could accomplish anything. He could not carry a state in the union"
 Such language as this about a former president of the United States from an aspirant fer the presidency! The most partisan republican would not be so lacking in respect for Mir Cleveland as to use the brutal words, "Senile decrepitude." The only democratic president the country has had in fifty years is still in the full vigor of life. and he will no doubt retain all his faculties long enough to rejoice at the disappearance of Bryanism.
 In the same interview, MT Bryan ad- mitted that he would not be a candi- date next year, but he talked rnysteri- ously about the future, and said there would be ''six more presidential cam paigns' before he retired from politics.

One phase of the Panama sltuatloi is worth the attention of Mark Iwah and George Ade. The little department of Panama having seeded from tht republic of Colombia and set up re- nuh,ic herself. some of her former sister states Ger departmental in Coiolhola are already making overtures for ao- mission into the new republic. Inns ia a sort of up-to-date exhibition ol the fabled joint snake" about which country schoOlbOys hear so much put never see. There is no reason why Panama should not rapidly attach to herself the detached pieces Of the old republic-and behold! the Jolnt snake" all pieced together again under another name It is entirely within the range of possibilities that within a Ie" months the former nation of Colombia will be doing business at the new stand under the freshly painted slgn' Republic of Panama.
 And this arrangement will nave us rompensating features, of especial value to the Central American mlhu' snanish and South American diplom- ocv have much in common with the oriental.

Not only did Uncle Sam propose to pay forty million dol- lars to the bankrupt French company for the canal concessiCn-a great per centage of which would have lodged in Colombia-but he offered 10 pay royal annual rental in addition to ar outright gift of ten million dollars Tn cash to the Colombian government. 1T ..Tio Sam" would offer that much, no doubt he would give a great deal more if jockeyed a little, the Colombian

In their simple minds the next step was the return of the treaty from Washington amended to include graft to the ex- tent of several millions for needy Co., lombian statesmen. They were dlsap- pointed. and it only dawned upon them when Panama seeded that they had not only dropped the bone for a shadow but were being laughed at by all mankind.
 Now, the next thing is to save their "honor," or face as the Chinese have it. This can be done readily enough, If all Colombia is absorbed by Pan anna "Si, senores," the Colombians will then say, i've are now citizens of the magnificent republic of Panama, and we only rejected the Hay Herran treaty in order to make this change. We are sorry that our motives were misunderstood"
 Not only does Colombia's "honor" demand this shifting of scenery, but the big bags of American dollars which Panama is to have by virtue of the Hay-Varilla treaty signed Wednesday. are causing all the politicians in Co., lombia to lick their chops.

Many WouId.be NoYeIIsts.

| The New York correspondent of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle has been gathering informant tion from the book publishers concerning the busi- ness of publishing novels. He found that the number of men and women who believe they are fitted to produce salable fiction has been increasing at | a marvellous rate during the last few years. and today they number many thousands in the United States. This is shown by the enormous fiction mail of every publishing house in the coun- ] try.
 l Yet, 1t appears. with all the increase of literary aspirants, an increase which | has surely outrun the increase in total population, the relative number of sue cessful fiction writers has not gone up. By successful fiction writers is not meant those who have made fortunes, but those who simply made a fair liv- ing out of it as an occupation. Of the great successes, those who can write big money" winners, like David Harum." "Eben Holden" Richard Car vel" Ben Hur." ITO Have and to Hold, etc. there are not more than score.
 It may be news to many readers that the majority of all novels pub lished do not more than pay for their publication, but so It is. A surprising large proportion do not bring returns enough to do that even, although it is possible to issue novel of the stand ard size. without pictures, for a few hundred dollars.
 It should be understood, though, that the total expense of publishing q novel is only begun when the typesetting. press work and binding are finished.
 In the old days these items covered the bulk of the publication expense. but in these times of intense competi- tion 1t is not so. Like soap, health focds and patent medicines, books must be advertised extensively if they are to make money In consequence every publishing house has its publi-

The New Feature In Naval Warfare.

The recent tests of the government new submarine torpedo boats Adder and Moccasin were so successful that it can no longer be doubted that sub- marine boats will play an important part in future naval wars. In the maneuvers off Newport the Adder and Moccasin made technical attacks upon the torpedo boats Mckee and Morris and all the honors were with the sub marines. Although the searchlights of the torpedo station were used against the Adder and Moccasin and all other circumstances were against them, they destroyed the Morris, and the Mckee was unable to infiict any damage upon them.
 Commenting upon the rapid develop ment of submarine craft. a writer in the Nineteenth Century says:
 "The outlook for the next naval campaign is disturbing. If the sub marine fulfills anticipations. if under real war conditions it can repeat sue sesses obtained under simulated war conditions. the terrors and losses occa- stoned by the use of this weapon will paralyZe the imagination, and may drive the heavier ships from the mar row seas. It may be that its success will be only partial. and even in these circumstances it will shatter many pre- conceived ideas. We shall go into ac- tion when war occurs with weapons untried-battleships. cruisers, torpedo craft, all of them to a great extent ex- periments, and of these there is none of which so little is known and SO much is expected as the submarine"
 It may be true that the submarine boats will not be dangerous except in waters comparatively close to the mainland, but even SO the possibilities are so many that the submarines may well be termed the modern terror of the seas. And it is notable fact that their manifest value as a factor in coast defense has been demonstrated under the eyes of hostile judges Claims on their behalf were jeered by the conservative" element in the con- struction bureau of the navy, and con- gress was ridiculed for making the ne cessary appropriations.

Detectives Fruitless Trip.

Detective Patrick O'Brien of Capt. Board
mans staff returned home this morning
from a trip to Columbia, Pa, where he
went to make an investigation in connec-
ton with the arrest of colored man, who
l. was thought was wanted in this city.
Sunday mornings mail brought to Capt.
Boardman a letter from c. H. Slower, a
justice of the peace at Columbia, who gave
the information that he had assisted Con-
stable Campbell in the arrest of the colored
man, and suggested that he might be
wanted for murder or other serious crime.
1t developed that a friend of the justice
visited a place called Chickey's Rock
Thursday, and he explained that the rock
is about 500 feet high and about 80 feet
from the top there is a ledge from which
a cave can be entered. This friend of the
justice noticed a buzzard lowering about
the entrance to the cave, and his sus-
picions were aroused. Accordingly the con-
stable and justice visited the rock and sue
ceeded in reaching the cave by being low
cred from the top by means of a rope.
The arrest of a colored man named James
Wilson was the result of the investigation
1t is charged that he participated in the
robbery of freight car on the PennSyl-
vania railroad. Some clothing, alleged to
have been taken from the car, was re-
covered.
