Just as the campaign for the governor
ship of New York was closing the Bryan
Democratic league Of New York City issued
statement detailing what Hearst did to
Bryan and urging friends Of the Nebraskan
to reciprocate IN kind. The statement
throws an illuminating sidelight on the
Harmonious relations of the railroads and
is OF particular interest TO "Bryan's Home
Folks" Two paragraphs will sufice:
II is generally known among all Of the
Bryan men OF the country that Mr.. Hearst
engaged Mr. Bryan shortly before the 1900
campaign TO write for his papers a series
Of six articles along democratic lines, and
that Mr.. Bryan contributed without com
pensation a seventh article closing this So
ries, IN which he set forth the wisdom
and possibility OF uniting all of the radical
elements. including silver republicans, pop
ullsts and democrats, into one compact
body, within the lines Of the democra tic
organization The substance of this story
was an appeal TO the above mentioned
elements to unite as democrats and present
a solid phalanx to the then forthcoming
[ campaign. The caption OF this story was
written by one Of Mr.. Hearst's leading
writer's. and was 10 the effect that Bryan
is for a united democracy. When the
! paper appeared the next morning the fol-
( lowing caption had been substituted IN the
original: Bryan for a new party all OF
the pOpulists, all OF the republicans, and
/ some democrats in it," when the change

CURRENCY ELASTICITY.

: A paper of Charles A. Conant on
THE Importance OF Currency Re-
form" forcefully states the need, but
like most of the current discussions is
far less satisfactory touching the
remedy. The general business public
at least has reached the point Of prac-
teal agreement that a grave defect
of our system is lack of elasticity in
the paper currency. In It's vast vol
ume the larger part composed of
treasury notes, silver notes and GER
tihcates and, for practical purposes,
also national bank notes. is a rigid
element, neither expanding with in
creased demand for active industry
nor contracting as business transac-
tions shrink. The alternative in the
former case must be gold Importation,
the success of which depends on cir
cumstances, or resort to bank checks
and similar commercial instruments
beyond their proper functions, which
may easily 90 to dangerous extreme.
The present situation plainly sug-
gests the defect of an unresponsive
paper circulation, For though every
dollar, gold and paper, is urgently
needed in existing expansion of indus
| try, a shrinkage that would make
! $500. 900. 900 useless would almost in
fallibly cause a corresponding export
of gold, the only possible reduction
of paper currency being retirement of
bank notes. which is limited by law
to 100000 a month. The natural
and preferable process, obviously,
would be retirement of the paper and
retention OF the gold, instead of its
arbitrary expulsion by the irreducible
paper maximum.
So enormous has been the Industrial
and commercial uplift that we have

1t is always interesting after AN
election TO look back at some of the
wild guesses made recklessly or with
malice aforethought as to probable
results. The chairmen of the differ
ent political committees are perhaps
expected to claim everything and to
state reasons for their pretended be-
lief that the candidates whose craft
they are steering are sure to come
safely into harbor.

TIE COUNTY ATTORNEYS DEPUTIES.
While the campaign was still on
The Bee gave notice that whether the
the next county attorney we're to be a
republican or a democrat it would
urge upon. the judges of the district
court to grade the salaries Of the dep
uties to be appointed under him. 1t
so happens that the next county attor-
ney will be a democrat and presuma-
bly, his deputies will also be selected
from among the democrats. This,
however, does not alter The Bees po-
sition in this matter
The new county attorney is entitled
to two first-class men as assistants
men Of experience and ability, whose
services cannot possibly be secured
unless they are given the maximum
salary of $500 a year permitted un-
der the law. For the other two dep
uties who are assigned merely to po-
lice court work and give but two or
three hours a day to their Official du-
ties salaries of 5000 would be ample
and a pickup of $50 a month would
be eagerly seized by young attorneys
who want the places chiefly for prac-
! tice.
The county has been paying out a
total of $4,000 in salaries to deputies
to the county attorney, divided into
four uniform salaries of $1,000 each
A classification and Encouragement OF
these salaries on the basis suggested
would save money to the taxpayers
and at the same time give them COM
mand of better legal talent for the
county law Office. We hope County
Attorney English will fall in with this
suggestion and after securing a proper
order from the district judges make
his selections of deputies accordingly.

SOWING rBE WIND.

In an after dinner address delivered
In Chicago last week James J. Hill
complained bitterly against railroad
regulation agitation as preventing the
investment OF money in increased rail-
way facilities by which alone the con-
gestion OF business can be relieved.
Are men going TO invest their money
in railroads as long as railroads are
considered outlaws?" asked the indig-
nant railway magnate, and continued
The fact is the railroad has not been
getting justice In this country. Why,
in the recent campaign we beheld the
spectacle of two great political parties
preaching the doctrine OF the opera
ton OF the railroads by the govern
ment. The federal government is to
run the main lines-they're the only
ones that make any money nowadays
and the private investors can have
the branch lines. there being no profit
in them. Is that the way to get men
to put more money into the country's
railroads? Is this the way to get more
railroad mileage so that the country's
freight can be moved? It is time to
call halt in this treatment of the
railroad"
Mr.. Hill forgets to say that If the
railroads have been treated as out
laws--and some of them undoubtedly
have-it has been because they have
been acting as outlaws. Jim Hills

creation by declaring the law creating
It unconstitutional. What more per-
nicious example could there be of a
powerful monopoly making laws and
breaking laws to suit itself?
