the fraternity of science; theOloSians
have been barred from sacred edifices
for believing and teaching more or less
than the dogmas by denominations set
forth: in every branch OF science men
have suffered the jeers of those not
dismissed to look into the future. and
later have been placed on pedestals
for hypothesis and theories that were
developed into laws unerring.
The historian of the future will rec
ord among those who lived before

nings Bryan.
The movement against omnipotent
uncontrolled capitalism is not new in
the United States. 1t was the real
handspring of the popular sentiment
for Mr. Bryan and the democrats in
1896; the necessity of combating il.
consequently, at that time threw the
whole power and wealth of the trusts
on the side of the republicans.
In Mr.. Bryans first campaign aad in
his second effort for the presidency
alike he advocated reforms, which
though condemned then, are now ca
gerly sought.
He condemned railroad rebates and
the more baneful practice of discrim-
nation in the distribution of cars
against independent operators by the
great railroad corporations. Legisla-
tors of high degree and prominent law
yers. all of whom were owned by the
corporations. joined the officials OF
those corporations in the loud declara-
ton that the evils did not exist. Bryan
was branded as a demagogue by those
officials and legislators and lawyers,
and the plain credulous people believ-
ed their declarations. because, perhaps.
of their exalted positions Such was
the condition in 1900 and 1896, but how
changed nowi Life insurance officials
have been compelled TO testify and
their testimony clearly reveals graft
in abundance, neither is there any long
er doubt that fabulous sums were paid
by these companies into the campaign
funds of the party that fOstered trusts
and combines. Railroad officials have
admitted both rebates and discrimina-
tons. \ fearless executive, now in the
White house. has been instrumental in
bringing to light the very outrages of
which Bryan complained six and 10
years ago. The evidence has been
wrung from unwilling lips. under oath.

pie. once deluded. 10 turn to him who
bore the outrageous sings of hired

patriotism has been demonstrated; his
devotion 10 duty in advocating reforms
in government and his firm stand for
the interests of the plain people are
now recognized and are being appre-
ciated. and William Jennings Bryan is
the logical candidate of the democratic
party for president in 1908.

Chance in Iowa.

The democrats OF Iowa should stand
d fair chance of electing their candi-
date for governor this year. no matter
what may be the outcome of the repub-
lican convention. John d. Denison of
Dubsque. is apt TO be the nominee of
the democratic party. Hon. J. B. Sulli-
van. ex-Congressman NJ. J. Wade, and
Jim Parsons. now of Des Moines. and
lately of Cedar Rapids. have eliminat-
ed themselves for consideration. Gen
eraI Weaver is urged by his friends to
stand against Major Lacey in the Sixth
district and this newspaper hopes that
he will serve his party and his country
by improving the golden opportunity
offered him to retire one of the most
viBdictive corporationists in the Iowa
delegation in congress. Judge Wade
feels that his first duty is to the
people of his district-the Second; Mr.
Sullivan feels that the party should
select another than himself. he having
borne the standard and brunt of battle
two years ago at considerable sacrifice
TO his business and his personal for
tunes. Mr. Parsons has no "hankeTin'
after" the honor.
John T. Hamilton. democrat OF

connection with the nomination but he
has never assented TO the use of his
ffame and would not likely do so. He

FOR THE GRAND JURY
TWO MEN HELD AS RESULT OF
CoRoNER's INQUEST.

Charles r. Evans and Harry J. O'DonneH
were held by the coroner's jury of Inquest
yesterday afternoon to answer for the
death of Morris J. Holloran. On account
OF the delay in starting the hearing it was
not until late hour that the testimony was
concluded and the verdict rendered.
DR.. Glazebrook, the deputy coroner, in
formed the jury that the case was an in
teresting one from "a medical standpoint.
He told of the wounds having been in
ficted the night of February l and of
the death of the victim about eleven days
later. 1t was apparent from the history
of the case, he stated, that the man was
unconscious for short time after he was
struck the head, but that he WAS not
in such condition when he reached the
hospital and that he showed no signs of a
fracture of the skull
Even when he reached the Barnes Hos
pital at Soldiers Home there was 70 in
dication of such injury having been in
ficted. Despite the fact that the man had
received a severe fracture he was able to
be about the city and showed 10 signs
of severe illness until the day he died.
His death was due to the fracture OF the
skull and cerebral hemorrhage
Evans and O'Donnell We're committed TO
jail and the body of the retired soldier was
turned over to the Soldiers Home authori-
ties for interment. The father and sister
of O'Donnell were present at the inquest
and were visibly affected by the finding of
the jury.

WOULD AVOID TARIFF WAR.
Germany Reported Anxious for Peace
full Solution of Problem.

Chancellor Won Buelow Is confident that
the government viii have an easy majority
over the opposition of giving the United
States reciprocal tariff treaty rates for six
teen months in order to see If the United
States will not agree to a new commercial
treaty.
The quite dominant subject of the day IS
The governments bill, which was printed
in the Berlin papers yesterday. 1t favorabiy
affected prices on the boerse here anG
caused business animation in the large
provincial cities, particularly Hamburg and
Bremen.
Chancellor Won Buelow. in memorandum
to the reichstag accompanying the BILL after
mentioning the fact that the agreement
with the United States expires March /, ths
date on which the new commercial treaties
60 into effect, says:
We declared ourselves ready November
to conclude with the United States
new agreement which should take into ac
count the changed circumstances. The ne
gotiations until now have led TO no result,
the American government not having found
itself in a position to decide upon our proc
osition.
1T is expected, however and hoped that
an Outstanding will finally be reached,
and for this object it appears proper to
create a provisional period, during which
measures Tor the further development OF
States may be arranged"
Count Won PosadowslSy-We the i'm
perial secretary of state for the interior, IN
a speech at the opening of the national
trade convention in Berlin yesterday alluded
to the subject as follows:
Unfortunately, we have not reached a
new reciprocal trade and political agree
ment with the United States, between " hich
and Germany so many economic interests
exist If Germany under such cireum-
stances, shall decide on her part to offer
her hand by enacting a law continuing un-
disturbed the previous trade conditions with
the United States, she Will do so in expecta-
ton that the way is being prepared for an
early arrangement, by treaty. that Will
properly take care of Germanys interests"
Representatives of the Central Association
of German Industry. of the Commercial
Treaty Association and of the Association
of German Manufacturers met yesterday.
The resolutions adopted were to the effect
that 1t would be better to extend to the
United States. for short period, the Ger
man commercial tariff rates than lightly to
enter upon a tariff war, the hope being al
the same time expressed that in the interval
a mutually fair arrangement may be
reached, and that the reichstag be asked
to pass the governments bill on the sub
iect.

Address OF Secretary Bonaparte to

The Alumni Association OF the Catholic
University of America, located in this city,
in session at Albany yesterday. elected the
following officers: President, Rev. John

The association pledged its support to tho
undergraduate department recently estab-

members Of the association were In at
tendance from all parts of the country.
At the annual banquet of the association
last night the principal toast was that re-
sponded to by Charles J. BOnaparte Score
tary Of the Navy. He dwelt especially on
the need of good citizens and the obligation
upon the Catholic Church to furnish and
train such. He held that it was the func-
ton of universities to educate the leader
ship of the people. OF the growth Of the
Catholic Church in America he said
Fifty years ago most Professionals. and
even many Catholics, believed that Ameri-
can Institutions and Catholic doctrines were
essentially antagonistic and the church
could exist IN our republic as AN exotic
only; that II she ever became a factor OF
moment in our policy, either her teachings
or our principles of government must and
would be radically changed.
The past half century has shown these
fears and theories to be groundless. The
Catholic Church is at home in the Ameri-
can republic; she is here to stay, and while
staying. not to languish. but to live with n
buoyant healthy life. And, to my mind at
