OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

UBryan declares he is not for Hearst
for president. OF course not. Why
should Bryan be for anybody but him
self?-Philadelphi Press.
1.-THE democratic see-saw from
Cleveland to Bryan and then from
Bryan to Cleveland is an interesting ex-
hibit of a party that doesn't know where
it is at.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
EEThe democrats cannot lose Mr..
Bryan. Like a sore thumb, he is al
ways on hand at committee meetings
and conventions. A professional candi-
date with no other visible means of sup
port will naturally stay in the business
as long as possible.-Chicago Chronicle
Dem.).
EyIf the democrats had the confidence
of winning the presidential election
this year they pretend to have none of
them would be opposing the ratification
of the Panama canal treaty. They would
want to put the canal enterprise in such
position that it could be promptly taken
up by their stration.-Philadel-
phia Press.
EFWhat an enormous amount of eat
ing is going on among the democrats
this year. Wherever there is a party
gathering there is a banquet and there
are dollar dinners, five dollar dinners
and 50-cent dinners in every part of The
country. Perhaps the principle is: Eat
drink and be merry, for Tomorrow we
die!"-Indianapolis Journal.
DrThere are some democrats in
Washington and perhaps a few scat
tered around the country who are in
clined to give Colombia the same kind
of sympathy and help they gave
Aguinaldo. But there are other demo-
Gratis who remember what happened to
Aguinaldo and also to their party cs c
result of furnishing aid and comfort to
the enemies of their country in this
way, and they are not enthusiastically
indorsing the anti programme.-Troy
Times.
ETThe reelection of Hon. M. A. Hanna
by the Ohio Legislature to be his own
successor for the term of six years, but
carries out the verdict given by the
voters at the polls on November 8 To
Mr.. Hanna the tremendous majority he
received iE the two houses Of the legis.
lature must have been particularly
gratifying, considering the vicious ant
persistent attacks that were made upon
him during the campaign, of which he
was the chief issue. No mar was ever
more bitterly assailed in a political
campaign; none ever won a more signal
victory over his enemies and detractors.

The Ga,ckeeper was Careless.

Detroit, Jan. 20.-The coroner's
jury that investigated the grade
crossing accident of January Is,
which resulted in two deaths, and in
which more than 80 people were in
jured, returned a verdict yesterday.
The jury finds that the collision be-
tween the passenger train and trolley
car was due to gross carelessness on
the part of the Grand Trunk gate
keeper at Gratiot avenue and Dequin-
Dire street in not closing the gates,
and also to the fact that the conduc-
tor of the trolley car failed to see the
approaching train.

A Century offered Too High.

After Mr.. Sol Oppenheimer had finish
ed his remarks on length of life before
the Hundred Year club, of New York
says the World, there was not mueI
comfort left for advocates of a Btrenu-
ous existence. Ambition interferes with
sleep, mental strain hurts the arteries,
envy produces fever, hatred is a prolific
parent Of disease, love makes the pulse
erratic, anxiety causes jaundice and
when prolonged leads TO cancer. 1t is
a good philosophy-for those who like
it and are willing 10 purchase years at a
Ugh price. No one who is rightly con-
stituted cares for a malicious indulgence
In hatred or envy. Anybody is willing
to escape worry If reasonably possible.
But who would exchange the achieve
ments of a reasonable ambition for q
purposeless decade Of living? Or miss
the alternate thrills and chills of love
for a few twelvemonths more of sitting
lonely by the hearth? Take away your
century Mr.. Oppenheimer, unless you
offer 1t at better bargain. The only
reasonable terms will be such as to leave
life an expression-not chain of sup
pressions.

washington, Jan. 2S.-Representa-

PsvcholoRz of Crowds.

In a certain fire panic in a theater
which might be named, calcium light
at the back Of the house, in the bal
cony, flashed up with a loud splut-
tering sound and a binding light,
There was no real explosion-no
fire. But while all the people in
the house heard this sound, only
few could see that the light had gone
out and that there was no danger.
Somebody screamed: "A fire!" And
then. says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, came the psychological moment.
The fools tended to break loose. A
auditorium to the stage. and ran with
coattails flying past the actors. There
was roar of feet in the galleries. The
large audience began to rise; it was
poised for an instant between life and
death. But in that instant two men
in the center of the house began to
shout, with fearful oaths and denun-
Citations. to the people thereabout to
sit down Then one of these men
roared to the actors: why don't you
90 on?" The dazed actors did go on.
The people in the galleries saw that
the center was quiet and at last most
of them subsided-but not until many
women had been fearfully trampled on
the stairs. In this case two or three
individual intelligences had aroused
the individuals Of the crowd to exer-
else their own intelligence, and gen.
sral panic was prevented

VINDICATE THE PRESIDENT.
Current Events show UnmfstakabIy
the Wisdom of His Panama
Policy.

Those senators who persist in attack
ing the presidents action in the Panama
affair in the foolish hope of making an
issue for the democratic party, fail to
perceive that the president is being com
pletely vindicated by current events,
says the indianapolis Journal. In his
speech a few days ago Senator New
lands, of Nevada, admitted thatit would
be impossible to undo what has been
done. or to reestablish Columbia's SOW
ereignty over Panama, but he insisted
that 'the honor of the United States de-
mands prompt disavowal by congress of
the lawless and unconstitutional acts of
the president"
1t seems incredible that man fit to
be in the United States senate, even from
a rotten-borough state like Nevada,
should be willing to put congress in the
position before the world of disavow-
ing and repudiating important inteTna-
tional acts of the president, thus array
ing one coordinate branch of the gov
ernment against another, and holding it
up before the world as house divided
against itself
But while few senator's are thus
making an unpatriotic exhibit of them
selves, events are vindicating the presi-
dent. All the leading powers of the
world have signified their approval Of
the presidents action by themselves
recognizing the independence of Pan
anna. How could congress disavow his
action without insulting them? But the
senate is barred from such a course by
its own action in confirming the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Buchanan as minister
to Panama. This confirmation by more
than two-thirds majority, there being
only 16 negative votes out of 80 senators,
Is equivalent to a recognition of the
independence of Panama. and shows
that the treaty will be ratified by about
the same vote.
Another significant vindication of the
presidents action is the complete elm
ination of Senator German from the list
of presidential candidates since his IA
tai blunder at the beginning of the ses-
sion. The history of American politics
may be searched in vain for a parallel
to this remarkable case of an engineer
being hoisted by his own petard Two
months ago Senator German was cas-
lily in the lead among candidates for
the democratic nomination, and if he
had adhered to his customary policy of
Saying nothing and saving wood" he
would probably still be in the lead. But
he opened war on the presidents Pan
ANA policy and where is he now? Black
listed by his own party as an available
candidate, and as completely removed
from serious consideration as if he had
never been mentioned. His elimination
from the list of candidates is vindica-
tion for the president.
Democratic senators, like Bacon, of
Georgia, and Newlands, of Nevada, can
afford to denounce the presidents ac-
ton in the Panama matter because they
have nothing to lose. There is no dar-
ger of their eliminating themselves from
the list of presidential candidates. as
Senator German did, because they are
not in it. But their failure to elicit any
sign Of approval from the people en-
phasiZes the vinGication the presidents
receiving

The Bridges viii Not be Elevated.

Washington. Jan. 26.-Secretary
Root has decided a question involving
several million dollars, growing out
of the application to compel the ele-
walton of the six bridges over the Al
legheny river connecting Pittsburg
and Allegheny. The secretary denied
these applications. In his decision
the secretary points out that to grant
the applications, which were opposed
by the cities of Pittsburg and Alle-
gheny, would involve the practical re-
building of some of the bridges, an
extensive change of street grades and
the whole would cost several million
dollars. ..u. -

The surest way to discountenance
grating in public affairs is to insist on
publicity in public auairs, says the
Kansas City Star. OF course, this can
not be provided" by the law. for Off
GERS who want to do illegal things
could evade the provisions for public
ity. But if the people themselves
would take a greater interest in munic-
ipal matters and would show their re-
sentiment when they are denied the
confidence of their servants they could
insure a more open and candid trans
action OF public business.

William Jennings Bryan has at

fers to him in the Review of Reviews
in these words England had the
opportunity of welcoming last month
another distinguished visitor, who,
though not a crowned head or the
chief executive of a great nation, may
nevertheless be regarded as a repre-

After the somewhat shabby manner in
which America has persisted in treat
ing William j. this must be as balm
to his spirit. However, Mr.. Stead
somewhat qualities his complimentary
remarks little later il his article by
adding that Mr.. Bryan reminds Eng.
lishmen more forcibly of the type of
the great American evangelist than as
a politician. This may be regarded as
complimentary or the opposite, just as
one looks at tin any case some
penalty must be paid for the gift of

ROSES POPULATIONS.
He Declares that Every Cent of the
SIS7,0OO re Stole While Cashier of
tne Produce Exchange hank WAS
Lest In SpeculaIIon.

Cleveland, Jan. 29.-Gcorge A.
Rose, the dcfaulting cashier of The
Produce Exchange bank, which closed
its doors January y, made a confess
sion last evening telling his method
of using the banks money of which
he is said to have lost SIS 600. The
confession was made to Prosecutor
Kceler and while brief is ample in eX-
planation. Rose said that he was
alone in his populations and that his
use of the banks money began about
six years ago.
lie said that about three years ago,
when the loss had reached only S20,-
600, an auditing committee was APP
pointed TO 60 over the banks books.
Rose had hoped that his shortage
would be discovered then, but at the
end of a week or so of investigation
the committee reported everything
satisfactory with the banks affairs.
Rose declares that he lived within
his salary of $125 a month and has
not got Il cent of the money lost to
the bank by his populations. When
his shortage had reached $4,000, Rose
said that he knew that he would have
to replace that sum and, seeing no
other way of doing it than by specu-
lating, he continued to do so until
the amount reached $1S7,CnO. His
mental state has been miserable ever
since his populations began, he said,
and oftentimcs he had been tempted
to commit suicide. but did not do so
because of his wife and family.
All of the entire sum of $1S7,000,
Rose declares, was lost with grain
spectators in Chicago. His willing
ness for speedy trial and imprison
ment, he said, was to relieve his minC
of the worry that he had undergone;
also his desire to be sentenced and TO
serve his term and afterwards begin
life anew
