Mr.. Cannon and the Currency.

rs Mr.. Cannon is IAN old hand at the
bellows" he is probably more amused than
annoyed 10y the figure he is made to cut in
the warm-weather speculation about cur
IrncY reform.
We had him first in the character Of
a dcSput. As Speaker of the next House
IL, would be the whole thing. Such meas
urcs as he approved would so through.
Such measures as he rejected would die
the death. What the House anyhow
hut Il body to obey the behests of it's pre-
siding officer? He was opposed to currency
reform. and therefore all talk about such
legislation next winter spring non
sense. If Mr.. Aldrich and his republican
associates of the Senate finance committee
chose To occupy themselves with the sub
jet they were within their rights. but
nothing would come of their labors. Moth
ing would come Of anybody's labors far
as the currency was concerned. Why take
zap I'll" subject when it was known that
every effort, because of his disfavOr. would
lie futile?
As the author or authors Of this yarn did
not Immediately get q rise out of Mr.. Cam
non. details followed in few days CalCu-
lated to move linn. Then he responded.
and of course denied the allegation and
laughed at tho "allegators." For himself
lie aid but little. and for the House he did
not assume to speak at all. He would only
say that If the subject was presented the
House, and not himself as Speaker would
dispose Of il.
Now we have the despot stripped of his
fighting garb and trotting obedlcntly at the
Presidents heels. \ brief call at Oyster
Bay was sufficient to produce the change
The Presidents wishes reinforced by a
tOuthsnme lunch, were too much for Mr.
Cannon. and he surrendered uncondition-
ally. The problem now is simply 10 find
out what the President wants. The aban-
doned Aldrich bill. the Fowler bill. any old
bill viii receive Mr. Cannon's support and
the influence of the Speakers office if the
President speaks the word.
This yarn may safely he brackcted with
the other. If the President requested an
expression from Mr.. Cannon on the cur
reucy question he probably got it, but that
either man committed himself absolutely
three months in advance of the meeting of
Congress in special session. with public dis
Cussion of the question still in progress. is
as uuliktl " thing as was ever offered to

Prejudice Against Crime.

This from St Louis has a queer ring:
The jury for the perjury trial of Harry
A. Faulkner, former member of the house
of delegates. was selected today, but before
the trial could proceed attorneys for the de-
Tense filed motion for a change of Venue.
The day was consumed i'll arguments on
the motion to the effect that prejudice ex-
lists in st. Louis against perjury and brib-
cry to such an extent that fair and i'm
partial trial cannot be secured
Where in the state of Missouri does preju-
Gce not exist against perjury and bribery
Prejudice against murder is doubtless
strong in st. Louis. but would that Justify
the transfer of a murder case to another
county for trial? Shall a man be without
prejudice against crime in order to qualify
for the jury box? What county in Missouri
would feel complimented by being asked to
produce twelve such men in court? And
what court would accept them for jury
dut.?

''Why."

There is a curious game called why
To play 1t wise men vainly try:
We start it at our very birth
Nor quit 1t till we leave this earth.
When first the sun makes glad the eye
We blink and wall and wonder why"
What is the secret of success?
Fen they who have it blindly guess
Why do the winds flow softly by?
Why are the stars set in the sky?
Why are the flowers fresh and sweet
Scattered profusely at our feet?
Why is it that mere gold can buy
The good that toll will oft deny?
We strive to solve, and strive in vain.
The secrets of life's joy and pain;
We love, we lose, we laugh. we cry
IT'S all in the great game of "why!'

The End Seat Man.


From the Chicago Record Herald
Attempts to regulate the street car hog
by city ordinances have usually failed. Be
ing impervious to the ordinary appeals of
decency and good manners. 1t follows that
he is not easily reached by municipal en-
actments City councils have tried to make
him clean his feet before stepping into a
car, to refrain from expectoration and pro-
family, and to observe various other de-
cencies that are foreign to his porcine ma
ture. And now Toledo Is after a new one
the "seat-end hog" An ordinance has
been introduced in the city council of
that city which provides that a person
who takes seat on d street where the
seats run crosswise shall, when another
person enters, move over and keep NOV
ing as passengers enter until the seat Is
filled" The penalty for refusing to move
over" Is fixed at from s. to SIS fine.

Period of Syndication.


From the New York Journal OF Commerce.
The period of financial expansion which
had fairly begun at the close of 1898, and
which has apparently run its course is
likely to be known in financial history as
the period of syndication The process of
combining Industrial and transportation
companies into one great corporate aggre-
gate was not new one, but in the three
years following 1898 X was carried to
lengths previously dnheard Of and resulted
in the creation of mass OF securities
whose existence was reflected in an in
crease of nearly 81 $1,000 600 in the bank
deposits of the country without any in
crease in the specie or legal tender hold
ings of the banks. The part played in the
world of industry and finance by the hold
ing corporation will be regarded as one
of the most remarkable phenomena of a
movement which has no example in the
previous financial experience of the coun-
try.
