COMMENT AND OPINION.

DThe democratic style of govern
ment in Missouri is poor argument
for national change in 1904.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
UMr. German is not letting his
presidential boom get threadbare be-
fore the time comes for putting ii on
dress parade.-Washington Star.
uJWhenever Mr.. Bryan emits phil
ippic against Grover Cleveland he
awakens a suspicion that his old presi-
Dental bee is singing him.-Chicago
Tribune.
yThe trouble with Mr.. Bryan's mo-
tion of harmony Is that he thinks ev-
erything else is mere accompaniment
to solo by himself.-Indianapol
News 0nd.).
Ex-senator Martin, of Virginia. who
may be the chairman of the democratic
national committee. thinks the revision
of the tariff should be the sole issue il
the next campaign. That appears to
suggest an easy way for the republic
ans to win.-Cleveland Leader.
UIn word, the United States mint,
like about everything else in this coun-
try. keeps step with modern progress
and often gets little ahead Of it. The
mint not only turns out more coin than
any similar establishment, but, thanks
to the republican party, its dollars are
all good ones, worth hundred cents,
not clipped Of half their value as would
have been the case had the Bryan idea
been successful.-Troy Times.
DThe papers which are saying that
Uncle Mark Hanna feels downcast over
the result in his state are astray as to
the situation. Ohio Is all right, and
Mark is master of the situation, except
temporarily in his own city. The fact
that johnson won the mayoralty again
shows that fate Is putting up job
against him and his party. His recent
victory will tempt him to look for
higher station than the one he has, and
then retribution will hit him bard :

under any leadership there would have
been no word at all in favor of the third
term nomination for Cleveland. 1t
was a sign of despair which everybody
could grasp. The democrats who adj
vocated Cleveland's candidacy next
years raised the flag of distress, as
everybody could see. When the coun-
Ivy refused to give third term to the
conqueror of the rebellion IT was easy
enough to see that that would be re-
fused to any man in the ranks of the
democratic party to-day. Possibly a
Cleveland man will be put up in 1904,
and il so he will be cut by the other
section of the party. 1t makes no diff
ference in the result whether a man is
put up for a third term which he can
not get or new man is nominated for
first term which he has not the faint
est chance to receive. The year 1904
is going to be bad season for the dem
ocratic party of the United States.

is created by great public grants and
franchises must be administered in
conformity with approved public pol
icy. The railways of the country are
not private property in the sense that
the owners may do with them as they
please; private capital is invested in
them with the express understanding
that they are subject to public super
vision and the declared policy of the
nation is against the tendency to con-
solidation that was an issue in this
case.
The state of Minnesota had distinct
yand formally forbidden this consol-
idation, and an attempt had been made
to defeat this mandate by organizing
corporation that would not be sub
ject to the laws of Minnesota. The at
tempt reveals higher power, residing
in the constitution, ant even back of
the constitution in the common law,
ample for the protection of every pub
lie interest. The lesson is very whole
some one. 1t is new admonition that
the people are sovereign, and that the
most potential organization Of capital
Is subject i'm the exercise of it's powers
to their will. 1t is idle and foolish in
this country to attempt to evade or
lefy public opinion. 1t is unwise to
tempt it to impatienct. The conserva-
tive judgment of the country realizes
this and recognizes that the rights Of
property are not less secure but more
secure because of the suit brought and
decision obtained against the North
ern Securities company.
Without the practical measures
which have been taken by the Roose-
tablish public cohtrol over aggrega-
tons of capital, the country would have
gone into another campaign with the
public mind agitated, uneasy and liable
to panic on this subject. The presi-
dent realized the peril to the country
of that situation. He realized the i'm
portance of having the public assured
of it's own rights and security, and of
having a system of supervision and re-
straint developed under prudent direc-
ton. The measures for which he as
sumed responsibility have virtually
eliminated the trust" issue from par
tisan politics. The results already
achieved have advanced the country so
far toward a solution of the problem,
and have so completely demonstrated
the wisdom and good faith of his poll
cies,, that the people will have no desire
70 change the rnanapemeuf N peu
leadership. The "trust' issue next year
will be as futile as the Philippine issue
was in 1900.

President RooseveIt's Timely later
vention Has Treasured the Peo-
pie OF TAelr Security.

That the merger decision has inn
mensely strengthened President
Roosevelt and the republican party
for the struggle coming next year. is
perfectly apparent. The decision is a
vindication of the Roosevelt method of
dealing with the so-called "trust"
problems. 1t is triumph for sane and
conservative but effective policies. 1t
confuses and discredits the plans of
the radicals who would like to set the
country afame with appeals to the
same passions that were awakened in
1896, says the Des Moines Register and
Leader.
Moreover il Is clear that the sober
secondthougbt of every class of people
approves the decision. In the financial
eenters, among bankers and investors,
in Wall street itself, the predominant
sentiment is one of satisfaction and
even relief that bounds have been set
to the tendency to establish a mon
archy in the business world. 1t is
realized that the Northern Securities
plan had far-reaching and dangerous
possibilities. Even If the consolida-
ton which it effected proved as inno-
cent and as advantageous to the public
as its promoters promised it to be, it
would be dangerous power to go I'M

ed for Grover Cueveiand's
Candidacy.

The Cleveland third term talk has
suddenly ceased. 1t ended Immediate
ly after the ex-president's appearance
at meeting in favor of Booker Wash
ington's institution. A democrat who
will voluntarily seat himself on plat
form with negro has no chance for
any favors at the hands of the demo-
cratic party. Moreover, a democrat
who talks in favor of the thing which
that negro advocates can never again
be accepted as fit parsonage for dem
ocrat hopors, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
Thus the third term lAom has col
lapsed. Not many persons in the Unit
ed States took that talk seriously.
Consequently. not many will be disap-
pointed at the wind-up Of the move
ment for new nomination for the ex-
president. 1t is doubtful now IL Mr..
Cleveland could carry South Carolina

n WARD IN
/ CHANGER Y.

by JOHN X. LEYs.

7 SAT in my bath chair at the cor
ner of the square alone, for / had
sent my man to dispatch a telegram
and it was pleasanter for me to wait
in that quiet spot than in the busy
thoroughfare. 1t was a warm day
and the sun shone with soft, mellow
radiance ON the yellow leaves that
were clinging to the trees in the gar
den of the square or futtering
quietly to rest on their parent earth.
No passengers were to be seen; but
for the dull sound from the far off
streets the silence was profound.
The melancholy of autumn-that
season of spent endeavor, of slow de-
cay, of rest-was in the air.
Most of the houses in the square
were shut, their owners not yet re-
turned from the country; but one
very large house was evidently in
habited. 1t filed the center of the
block facing the square on my right.
] was wondering what il could be,
for the building seemed too large for
private dwelling house, when my
u
mana youth, ought rather to say,
for he did not seem to be more than
10 or 20-who was slowly pacing
along the pavement close to the rail
ings that inclosed the square gar
den, looking all the time at the large
house have just mentioned. 1t
seemed almost as il he were expect
ing or hoping to see the face of
some one he knew appear at one of
the tall windows. And what particu-
larly struck me was that as he
walked he touched with his fingers
every fourth one of the iron uprights
that formed the railing.
He came nearer and nearer to me,
still touching as he went, and then
when he had reached the corner,
without noticing me in the least, he
turned round and retraced his steps,
still touching the ratings. But 1t
seemed to me that he did not lay his
hand on the same uprights that he
had touched before.
This circumstance stimulated my
idle curiosity. Those who have
known as l have what IL Is to lie for
many hours too weak to read or
talk, a prey to wandering fancies,
will understand me when say that
became intensely anxious to know
why he was touching those ratings.
There did not seem to be any way of
satisfying myself on this point, and
strove-this will explain my state
of mind as well as anything / can
say--I strove to make sure that he
was really putting his fingers on
different uprights from those he had
touched when he was walking toward
me. There was ready way of set
Ting this point. Every twelfth up
right terminated in spike some
inches higher than the others, and I
observed-that he had touched the
high ones as he came toward me.
II he touched one of them now, /
was wrong; IL he touched the next
10 one of the high ones, then was
right.
A few seconds told me that was
right. The youth laid his fingers on
the upright beyond the tall one
every time. And so he went on till
he reached the further corner Of the
square.
