Saloons Spread Disease.

Says a writer in the Medical Rec
ord: 1T has been proved more or less
conclusively that pulmonary tuber-
culosis is spread by the agency of
public houses in Great Britain, and
this is probably also the case to a
lesser extent in regard to saloons in
America. Although the saloons here
are far cleaner and better ventilated
than are those of Great Britain, there
are many in which diseased and un-
washed loafers spend great part of
their time"

Forestry in Public Schools.

Massachusetts is trying to arouse
her public school pupils to interest in
forestry. and State Forester F. w.
Rane has sent out to every school
superintendent in the state a circular
letter setting forth the desirability of
further educating the children in car
ing for trees. He offers seedlings and
seed of white pine, white ash, red
spruce, beech, chestnut and oak trees
on payment of the actual expense of
digging and express charges.

QUEER KINDS OF CURRENCY.
China and Parts Of Russia Have the
Most Unique.

Chinese money is traced back three
thousand years before Christ. One
emperor objected to copper coinage,
gathered a whole issue together, bur-
led it deep into the earth, and threw
in on top the workmen employed in
diging the pit. The pu and tao cur
rencies were struck in the form of
scraps of cloth of knives for barter,
and were in existence from about the
seventh to the second century before
Christ. The commonest of Chinese
money is the cash, round metal disk
with a square hole in the center; a
thousand of these are worth barely
rs cents. Ones cook in China goes
to market with great strings of this
heavy money round neck, shoulders,
and waist, but even when weighted
with as much as a strong man can car
ry, very little of our money is repre-
sented. On the Russo Chinese borders
green tea pressed into bricks has been

sand years.-Sunday Magazine.

Bryan and Sound Judgment.

The San Francisco Argonaut, an indie
pendent newspaper, says:
Our own opinion Of Mr. Bryan Is one
OF mingled admiration and distrust. Most
distinctly we like his cleanliness of char
acter, his personal gallantry. his per-
ststence of purpose. his courage in pro-
claiming his convictions. no matter at
what cost. On the other hand we can
but regard him as a man lacking that
sound quality of judgment essential to
responsible administration of great az
fairs"
These sentiments are widely held Many
republicans entertain them, and some OF
Mr.. Bryan's own supporters are not with
out suspicion that his judgment is not
on a par with his fuency and brilliancy
That quality needs strengthening-needs
development.
But what time has Mr.. Bryan for devel-
opment? He is continually on the GO
He has no privacy. During his waking
hours he Is always on view. When II Is

latest happenings. When at home his
newspaper and his correspondence occupy
him. His hours of sleep are his only
hours of seclusion. His other hours be-
long to a curious public, which in eleven
years has not wearied of him or of his

what they call retreat. They retire for
a week or fortnight from their pressing
duties. and spend the time in profound
reflection on matters both past and to
come. They thus strengthen themselves
for new labors, and return home refreshed
and the better prepared for the exactions

Mr.. Bryan would benefit were he to copy
this custom. He should abandon for a
time his journeyings and conferrings, get
the noise Of admiring crowds out of his
ears, and settle down for a period Of rest
and reflection. But a week or a fort
night would be too short. Months would
not be too much. He has been in such
stir for so long that it would take
him no little time to get his bearings

Washington Is Doing Its Part.


In making their plea to Congress to do
something to reclaim Pennsylvania avenue
from its deplorable condition on the south
sites for the new buildings urgently
needed for public purposes, the citizens of
Washington are in a position to point to
their own enterprise as evidence that
they are doing their part in the effort
to make the capital worthy of the ma
ton. They have contributed richly to the
city's development in the way of artistic
and substantial construction during the
past few years. Indeed in a marked de-
gree the business community has under
gone a Transformation within the past
decade.
Yesterday the latest addition to the new
banking establishments Of the city was
opened. There are now within a stones
throw of the Treasury four financial in
situations housed in a manner betting a
city of far greater size than Washington,
INTELLECTUALLY a delight to the eye, Of the
most permanent and substantial construc-
ton, and harmonizing in their general
scheme of design. Other buildings are in
course of erection in the same neighbor-
hood and will add richly to the general
effect.
What the bankers of Washington are
doing in the new financial center of the
capital the merchants stand ready to do
along Pennsylvania avenue, provided they
are assured of the conditions that are to
prevail there hereafter. 1t is common be-
lief that the government intends to util-
lie the land south of the avenue for pub.
lie building purposes. The taking of a
site within the great triangle for the Post
Office Department, and another for the
Municipal building. followed by the intro
duction of bills for the taking of addi-
tional squares for the proposed depart
ments of Justice and State are con-
strued as plain evidences of the general
program. All the practical considerations
point to additional encroachments upon
this area by Uncle Sam. This Is all right
as far as it goes. but it should 60 much
further and much faster
The Hepburn bill provides the means for
accelerating the process of giving the gov
eminent all the building sites it needs and
at the same time relieving the capital
of an incubus. 1t should be passed at
this session.

Politics From the Start.

It is to be a political session from the
very start. All roads will lead to Rome.
The democrats in both houses make this
manifest. Whether this Is one of Mr..
Bryan's suggestions is not so much to the
point as whether it promises reunited
democracy. There are many important
and difficult questions on the cards. and
nice management will be necessary In
the effort to capitalize them for cam
paign purposes.
The first question is the money ques-
ton. and instantly the republican attitude
is challenged. Did the President err in
his measures for the relief of the country?
Did he put himself into the hands of the
New York bankers and their financial cor
respondents? Was the suggestion of the
Panama bonds and the Treasury certif-
Gates his. or Wall streets? And, as mat
tiers stand today, are not the relations Of
the government toward the great money
gamblers more fatherly and helpful than
at any time since the civil war? And Is
anything in the way of legislation to be
expected at this time not acceptable to, If
not secretly dictated by, what We know
as the New York crowd?
In the development of things along the
lines of these inquiries-if discussion leads
to development - the south will have
charge of the prosecution. and the east
does not regard the south as safe guide
in financial matters. Mr.. Culberson and
Mr.. Williams were free silver advocates
while silver was the paramount issue.
Mr.. Tillman Is of the same school. Mr..
McLaurin of Mississippi proposes a meas
ure for government issue as against cot
ton-which is populism, pure and very
simple-while Tom Watson of Georgia,
who was educated in the democratic par
ty. wants a new issue of greenbacks.
Will the eastern democracy stand for"
criticism. or remedies, from these
sources? And If Mr.. Bryan is to be elect
ed next year the necessary votes must be
found in the east. Texas. the home Of
Mr.. Culberson; Mississippi. the home of
Mr.. Williams and Mr.. McLaurin; South
Carolina, the home of Mr.. Tillman. and
Georgia, the home of Mr.. Watson, will
vote the democratic ticket without regard
either to candidate or platform. But not
so New York or New Jersey. or Con-
necticut or Indiana. These states must
be carried If the democracy is to win.
The President is consulting all sides.
from Wall street to Tom Watson. He has
no plan. But he has a veto. and that
must be considered. And the veto power
probably explains his desire to acquaint
himself with all opinions.
