s200,00O, and MT. Bryan, deeply incenseds prepared to make public full scffedule of hls income and his fortune But friends argued him out of the notion. MT. Bryan, 1t is said, figures his fortune to include the following items: House. s26,000; farm land, $35,000; U. s. bonds. S25 OO0; invest ments, $35,000; and insurance close to ma turity. which will bring the total to Sl37, ,0O0.
 It Is emphatically asserted by his clos est friends that the Commoner yields him nothing beyond Q yearly salary of about S10,OO0. The balance of his earnings come from his writings and lectures MT. Bry- an gets fancy prices for his lecture work, but just how fancy no one in possession of the facts will say. It is known, how ever that the charge for certain of his Chautauqua lectures was s250 and the probability is that this is an average. Just what becomes of the annual profits de- rived from the Commoner is a puzzle to many in view of MT. Bryan's surprising ly small share. It Is explained, however, that a certain share of the profits, big enc, Is put away annually to swell a ''re- tiring fund" This retiring fund is de- signed to meet any emergency that might call for a suspension of publication.
 For example, if MT. Bryan is elected to the Presidency. the probability Is that the Commoner would pass out of existence. In that event the retiring fund.- would settle all obligations and provide for the men who now depend upon the Commoner for their living. Nothing definite is known as to the size of the fund and varying estimates place it from $20,0O0 to s100,000

Just how the expenses of the coming campaign are to be paid is a matter that is worrying the leaders of both parties. It is a foregone conclusion that the re- publicans will no longer allow the trusts openly to finance their campaign and 1t remains to be seen whether the individual contributions will pay the bills. It is esti- mated that each side will have to pay out $500,0O in railroad fares for its spell-bind- CTS. Heretofore the railroads have con- tributed anywhere from $750,000 to $1,50O,- 900 in free transportation. The new rate law forbids the issuance of transportation in exchange for anything other than real money. The penalty for issuing a free pass is a fine of from $200 to 5000. The penalty for furnishing tickets at prices less than those quoted is even higher. President Roosevelt, when he compelled Congress to shut off free passes, let 1t be known that he would like s25,0O0 a year for travenng expenses and Congress meekly voted him this amount, at the same time cutting its own members off the free list.

THE CAR SERVICE.

The car men in this city felt a
touch of Republican prosperity on
last Friday, when fourteen of them
were laid off on account of the dull
ness of the times. and three cars
which were In service were put in
the shop, leaving only two to accom-
modate the people of Columbus, one
for the Main street line and one for
the Military road line.
The Dispatch is not ready to con-
denim the new schedule at the pres
ent time, for we are informed that it
is only experimental with the COM
pany and will not be decided upon
until it's practicahility has been de-
cided. While they are considering
the interests of the company, it will
be well for the company to consider
some rights which the people have
also. The company was granted val
liable rights to run over the principal
streets free. and in return for this
it is expected to give somewhat OF
a reasonable service.
This reasonable service cannot be
provided with only two cars in oper-
alton. The territory to be covered
is too large for one car to serve, and
the people would be put TO such in
convenience and hardships that the
schedule would give no satisfaction.
So, in the consideration of the
question of lessening the expense, II
will be well to consider the obliga-
ton which the company owes the
people as we'll The council granted
the franchise upon certain conditions
and the tax payers look to the mem
bers to see that their interests are
not imposed upon.

Jt IS u matter OF common ohServatioe
that grass does not grow so well close

that the deleterious effects OF the near

true OF fruit trees. The cause IS as
