Mr.. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
seems to be getting along in the
world. A few years ago he was get
ting a salary of So, 900 as Congress
man, and in addition was earning a
few hundred dollars by his meagre
law practice. But when he began
making political speeches at $500 a
talk and started his Commonwealth
newspaper his prospects began to
brighten. He bought a little farm
and may have even made few dol
lars on that. Ten years ago he paid
taxes on sworn valuation of property
of So, $50. This year he admitted-or,
perphaps, his agent admitted for him,
Bryan himself being abroad-that he
was possessed of taxable property to
the value of s73, 225, besides $7S,
900 of untaxable Government bonds.
OF course, it is not to be supposed
that this S151, 225 are all the wealth
Mr.. Bryan has latterly accumulated.
Married people have various ways of
evading the scrutinies of an obtrusive
tax gatherer and Mr.. Bryan may not
be unacquainted with some of them.
So, therefore, while Mr.. Bryan is
probably not millionaire, he may
not be thousand miles distant from
that goal towards which the whole
world, even the Socialists, is striving.
Mr.. Bryan seems in no immediate
danger of coming to want. He is a
thrifty citizen.

CAN a city sue newspaper or n
for libel? That is II ques-
tion that will probably come before
American Courts for the first time in
the near future. A prominent news
paper has called the city of Patterson,
New Jersey, ga hot-bed of anarchy"
and said many equally disagreeable
things about that city which, it is al
!eged, are not only untrue, but which
fave done the city great deal of
harm. The inhabitants have, accord
ingly, taken steps to ascertain whether
there is any way by which they can
secure redress through the Courts for
the libel and indignity that has been
put upon them. 1t is an interesting
case as it stands, and the result, if
proceedings are commenced, will be
awaited with interest. Whether truth
fully or not, Patterson has long been
looked upon as the city where anarch-
lists most do congregate, and the
worst cases that have come to the
front are believed to have come fiom
that place. Perhaps, it would not
only be WISER but far better, for the
people of Paterson to begin to put the
pressure on the disturbing element
among them rather than on the news
papers, who twit them with harborine
these people. IF they can succeed in
getting rid of the anarchists they will
also get rid of newspaper ibelers al
the same time.

SURRENDER
OF A TRUST.

One trust appears to have come to
time for fear of the law-not any new
law, but the old anti trust legislation
which has been on the statute book
for years. There may be but few
people who know there is a Licorice
Trust, an octopus which has its ten
tacles fastened on the independent to-
bacco manufacturers, whom it charg-
ed 20 per cent. higher prices for lico-
rice than it charged the Tobacco
Trust. As licorice is not an article
of steady diet except to those who use
chewing tobacco, the public will gain
nothing now the trust has determined
to do equity by charging all its GUS
toners alike, for the tobacco manu-
facturers will probably not reduce the
price of tobacco in consequence of the
vigorous trust prosecutions by the Ad-
ministration of this predatory trust.
If President Roosevelt would stir up
his young men to prod the Beef Trust,
the Sugar Trust, the Coal Trust, the
Standard Oil Trust and others that
produce necessities and force them to
cut their prices 20 per cent. there
would be something to rejoice about,
that would help the over-taxed purse
of the housewife.

THE common practice where pie
lures are hung on wall is to hang
them at an angle and not fiat against
the wall. just how that custom came
into vogue is, perhaps, not known,
but now we are told by the highest
authority that the practice is bad, and
not calculated to show the pictures to
the best advantage. The grouping of
pictures when being at an angel is de-
clared impossible, because it is next
to impossible to hang two or more at
the same angle. Pictures should al
ways be hung flat to bring out the
best effects of the artist. The ten
dency also is to put too many pictures
on the walls of a room. One large
picture hung on the centre of wall is
enough, although several smaller ones
may iudiciously accompanying it on
the sides. Small pictures, the artists
tell us, are hardest to arrange in ac-
cordance with the present style of
general distribution. The best treat
ment of them is declared to be mass
effect, obtained by hanging them all
together in single group. Latterly,
those who claim to be experts in the
line of furniture arrangement say we
put entirely too much furniture into
our rooms, and that fewer pieces pro-
duce a more pleasing, artistic effect.

CAMPAIGN
FUNDS.

The New York Tribune, respect
able Republican authority, says:
"The members of the Republican
Campaign Committee assert positively
that this will not be money cam
paign. There will be no effort to Get
contributions from corporations, thev
declare"
That however hardly explains why
President Roosevelt, Speaker Cannon,
and the other Republican leaders OBJ
Jected to the passage by the House of
Representatives of the Tillman bill
which prohibited contributions from
corporations to political parties which
was passed by the Senate. Chairman
Cortelyou and the other Republican
patriots who made the corporations
"come down" in the last national
campaign and who especially bled
three Life Insurance companies of
about Sl5O, 900 and how much more
from Others has, so far, not been dis
covered, are still holding the Repub-
llcan bag with a good deal of this
tainted money in it, which will, we
are told, be disbursed in the coming
campaign instead of being returned to
the widow and orphan fund from
which it was tilched. Such a COM
mlttee of course would make .'no
effort to get contributions from cor
porations, but while the committees
morals have become impregnable, how

IT is not so much what we say as
what we do that counts most. Some
people say and say and never do any
thing, but he that does and does not
say so much is the one that accom-
plishes the highest attainment. Any
great effort enjoys its reward, and he
who sits and waits suffers a long rest.
If you have anything to do, do it at
once and with your best skill and at
tention. Never rest satisfied that
another time will answer and trust
that it will be more convenient then,
for inst at that future time something
more important will demand your at
tention and that opportunity to do is
past forever.

about the corporation
1t would seem quite probable that
the railroads, whose rates are to be
regulated by the Republican party
might insist on making their usual
large contributions towards the sue
cess of G. O. p. The Beef Trust
may think it advisable to be more
liberal than usual, for are not the
packing houses all to be inspected by
a Republican Administration. The
National banks have always furnish
d IL cir share of the Doodle to keep
the party OF. great moral ideas in pow
er. Does this explain the in differ
ence of the President and the opposi-
ton of Speaker Cannon and the other
Republican leaders to the Tillman
bill ? , The Republican National and
Congressional committees must "fry
the fat" out of somebody or there
wbdld be virtually no Republican
campaign, and of course the President
and Speaker have been guided by the
committees counsel and they cannot
shirk the responsibility for the smoth
ering Of the measure.

REFORM
ASSURED.

Fusion of the Democrats and the
Lincoln party men was accomplished
Tuesday when the independents en-
dorsed three Democratic candidates,
and an invincible ticle. has been
placed in the field. 1t is significant
fact that this ticket is not composed
of self-seekers, but of men who are
concerned only for the welfare of the
State, the betterment of its politics
and the uplifting of its government.
They are reformers who have been for
reform.
We fear the making of this ticket
will be sad blow to our friends of
the Organization. They have warn
ed both parties against fusion or coali-
tion, and employed their most eloquent
persuasion in trying to induce the
Lincoln men to remain with the gang
sters, but to nosavail. The Lincoln
ties are enlisted for the war and
their numbers increase daily.
Nothing could promise more for the
welfare of the State and the people
than this union of the forces of re-
form. 1t means that the movement
of last year which eliminated in re-
form legislation and the placing of
one d partmant of the government
on a sound business basis will be re-
newed and continued until honest and
business principles shall rule in all
departments of the government, until
the last vestige of their ownership by
the gangsters shall have been obiter-
ated and until the Legislature shall
represent the people and not band
of looters or a criminal combination.
| If an election should be held to-
morrow the fusion ticket would be
elected by a rousing majority. The
fusion victory of last year, small in
itself but so great in results, achieved

Six years ago the consumption
of rice in the United States was only
threepounds per capita. 1t has risen
to seven pounds at the present time,
which is an extraordinary increase
during so short a period. In oriental
countries, Japan and China, for in
stance, where it is the principal item
of food for all classes of the popula-
ton, the per capita consumption of
rice varies from 800 to 400 pounds
per annum, or about one pound per
day for the entire population. Con-
sidering the superior character of rice
as food, it is surprising that the con-
sumption of this cheap and excellent
grain is not greater in this country
than it is. The majority of our peo-
pie do not appear to properly appreci-
ate it. Pound for pound, it is quite
as nourishing as bread made from
wheat, and it can be prepared in so
many ways, all of them agreeable to
the average palate, that one is tempt
ed to wonder why it is not found
more generally on American tables.
