Two Considerations.

1t seems to be the opinion of the
Brooklyn Eagle that the democrats
should not nominate a candidate fo1
president who voted for Mr.. Bryan
This leads the Washington Post to ASK
if it would not be possible for the Dem
ocrats to elect a candidate who had not
voted for Mr.. Bryan. There is vast
deal in these two considerations.-1nGi

WriurIinr Democrats.

1t is really amusing to watch our
Democratic contemporaries wriggling
over the third term business. They
are in a desperate strait and it will
not be long before they will be admit

Not Needed Now.

The cry that the tariff fosters unfair
profits for the makers of protected COM
modities can be met with the response
that excessive profits will foster COM
petition, which will reduce prices to the
consumer and profits to the manufac-
turer, and upon this score the ultra
protectionists are ready to claim that
any considerable revision of the tariff
is not soon likely to be needed.-Fall

Mr.. Hanna,s Strong Position.

The admirable speech of Hanna at

According to Nine. r. Remusat, whom we

crary revival in Norway which has eliminated

pastor Nicolas Wcrgcland, who was once
keeper of pigs "In 1880 he aroused his fellow
NOrwrgianS by the news that there was no
national literature, and that what passed cur
rent for such was all written by Danes and
Germans. His son Henrik, a poet Of some
merit became ardently enthusiastic for the su-
prrior merit Of the ideas Of France, just then
backed him up for his own purposes In the
result the king supplied the poet with an in

much against the wishes Of the clergy and
mobiles, who were all DlnOphileS-and demo

as Nine Remusat says. like the career of
Brrnadotte himself, suffered the restraint of
neither convention nor tradition" 1t is an in

has been ordered TO try Ensign Huss-
ner. of the German navy, who on Good
Friday killed an artilleryman named
Hartmann with his sword at Essen for
not saluting him properly, according
to Hussner's version of the affair
Hartmann was a former schoolmate
of Hussner, and the latter AYERS that
the artilleryman attempted gross IA
miliarity in trying to shake hands with
him after he (Hussner) had arrested
Hartmann for the informality of his
salute. Then Hussner adds. Hart
mann started to run, and the ensign
thrust him through the back with his
sword, afterwards saying: When I
draw my sword blood must flow"
Hussner has written to Hartmann's
mother saying il was hard that his
duty as a Prussian officer" required
him to act as he did.
In Hussner's notebook were the
names o. several privates who must
have been reported by the ensign for
not saluting him as respectfully as he
desired.
