COMMON COUNCIL MAY
HOLD UP GREISER

There is possibility that the ap-
pointment OF Nicholas Grieser as city
accountant may be held up for a little
time by the common council. Com
plants have been made 10 some OF
the aldermen that Grieser, although
an attorney and a bookkeeper. is not
an accountant and has not the wide
grasp of business systems to enable
him TO improve the present methods
Of keeping the city books.
There is also the assertion that
Grieser's appointment is solely a
political one. Some OF the men who
were willing To take the position are
accountants OF years OF experience
and they are indignant at the appoint
ment of man whose bookkeeping ex-
perience has been so limited Grleser

GRANDFIELD URGES
NEW BOND SYSTEM
Important Recommendations
Made in Postmaster Gen
erals Annual Report.

Recommendation for the readjust-
ment Of postmasters' salaries; a re-
classification OF fourth class postoffces; ;
extension of annual leave of postOffice
employees from fifteen to thirty days;
abolishment Of the present bonding
system of postal employees and inaug-
uratior of the indemnity fund as in the
Canadian service, are a few Of the
striking points in the annual report OF
First Assistant Postmaster General G..
p Grandheld, made public today
During the last fiscal year, 2,19S post
Offices were established and 1864 dis
continued, leaving a total of 61,l5S
Offices in operation on June 80, 1905.
OF these. 6S46 were presidential post
offices''-that is, the postmasters were
appointed by the President. The re-
port recommends that the Postmaster
General be given the power TO appoint
second and third class pOstmasters, now
vested in the President.
At the present time, all postal en-
ployes are required 20 give bond when
they enter the service. The First As
sistant estimates that the premiums
on these bonds cost employees about
$500, eco The recommendation is earnest
ly made that this system OF insurance
against oefalcatiOns be changed. and
instead. an indemnity fund Instituted.
This would mean that employees would
pay In to the Government, premiums
averaging 81 for each $1,000 of bond re-
quired, forming a large fund to be de-
posted in the Treasury. From this
would be deducted the amount neces-
sary to make up for defalcations by
any emp4Oye under bond At the pres
ent tiTne, Mr.. Grandheld estimates that
the a. 'ual defalcations amount to onIv
go 90 whereas the total of suretJ
bon cid is about $2O0,000,0O0.

YORK. Pa. Dec. Its all over. or
soon will be, so what's the use? At
least Lee J. Spangler. VINO is troubled
with the gift Of prophecy, says so. The
last of the prophets yesterday sang his
last swan song in the prognOstication
line. This took the form of a refusal
to make any predictions for 1903, for he
says there isn't going to be any 1853. The
world will come to an end during
the latter part of this month, he says.
He asserted that William II. Taft
never VIII be inaugurated President Of
the United States. The drying up OF
streams, the sinking from sight IF
islands, the earthquake shocks heard in
different parts of the country. railroad
wrecks and the sinking o. ships, mine
disasters, the financial panic, suicides,
and other cheerful complications, he
says, all point to the fulfllment OF his
statements When questioned regard
ing things that would transpire dur.n
1909, he said:
There will be no 1909; therefore. it is
useless for me 10 make a statement"
Last December Spangier forecasted
the following for 1908: King Edward
viii pass away as the last King OF Eng
land; New York will be destroyed by
fire; Russia viii lose her Gar; Turkey
will lose her Sultan: prominent hnan-
ciers will hang themselves; earthquakes

stroyed and mothers-ia-law will be ar

TION AND WORLDS PEACE.

It was not until the light of world
comment had been shed on the Ameri-
eo-Japanese agreement respecting the
relations of Nippon and the United
States, that the people of this country
realized the epochal- character of that
exchange of notes. We are a bit anna

Americans. From Washington down.
We have been taught to beware of for
eign entanglements, and so it happens
that we have not been skilled to a thor
ough appreciation of diplomatic values.
But the whole world has greeted this
accomplishment as one of the really
great achievements of diplomacy, and
Americans have not been slow TO ap-
Preeiate what it means in that light.
Truth TO tell, all the works of Ihe

have been unimportant compared 10
this pact. In form it is not treaty.
Its effect is moral only. But the very
fact that the two national parties to it
are able to effect such tremendous re-
suits by a process of which mutual
confidence and good faith are the basis,
is one of the most useful lessons which
Japan and the United States have read
to the foreign ministers of Europe.
The United States bulked into the
proportions of first-class power for
peace when it took the lead, under
Hay, in assuring the integrity of China.
1t rendered peace a magnificent service
when it initiated, under Roosevelt, the
negotiations that ended the struggle in
Manchuria.
But in these cases the United States
appeared as intermediary, as a sort of
trustee for civilization. It's own in
terests were only involved in common
with those of the rest of the world.
Vastly different Is the adjustment OF
relations which Mr.. Root and the To
kyo government have reached. It re
quired confluence and eoolness, willing
ness to set aside prejudices, the capac
ity to be very impersonal about the
most personal matters; it demanded
from both governments a calm and de
termined thrusting aside of sensational
and alarmist views. 1t came as the
ending of a long season Of friction and
o. popular suspicion in both countries.
It's accomplishment under these cir
cumstances, and its reception by the
whole people of both countries with
unanimous acclaim of approval, marks
these two countries as true conserva-
tors Of peace and civilization. 1t like
wise Joins their hands in the great task
of safeguarding the Pacine as trust

SHALL BEAUTY DISAPPEAR
FROM a GERMAN COLONY2

German Southwest Africa Is in need
of wives. Not any old kind of wives,
to be sure, but German wives. So the
Woman's Alliance Of the German Colo
NAL Society Is distributing a pamphlet
among German stay-at- home girls in
tended to ignite the spark of thrift
in their bosoms if not that OF tender
ness and love.
A small number of young women
have been found to 90. Either they
are contented or they have too much
pride to admit that they are not. For
their letters are said TO be cheerful
and bright and the Woman's Alliance
of the German Colonial Society is so
far encouraged by them as to cOntem-
plate a campaign for 5000 more.
Now no man in his senses would put
up his Judgment on such a matter
against that of any woman in the
world. Surely no American man
would. But if a suggestion is not
altgether impossible, this occurs to an
outsider looking on from a distance:
That a girl will 90 any distance and
endure even German Southwest Africa
If she starts out with man she
chooses, that among the girls who
start out in that manner some are
sure to be pretty; that the Woman's
Alliance would better, then, begin its
campaign when and with the young
men who are starting off from Ger
many; and that then personal beauty
is not so likely to disappear from the

THE EFFORTS TO DISPOSE OF
MIR. BRYAN.

Nearly everybody seems agreed that
Mr.. Bryan ought to try to break him.
self of the habit of running for Pres
ident. Nearly everybody did that,
however, after 1900, and it had no
effect whatever. Mr.. Bryan has not
committed himself since the recent IN
pleasantness, further than TO indicate
that he viii continue to do his duty as
he sees it. As he has seen it, his duty
has so often dictated a candidacy for
President, that it is difficult 20 find
justification in this assurance for the
expectation that he viii be eliminated
from the list of aspirants.
Comes now Senator Norris Brown Of
Nebraska with an interesting theory.
Mr. Brown speaks aProPos of the story
that Bryan will run for Senator from
Nebraska two years hence. There has
been general acceptance of this view,
but Senator Brown takes exception.
Us thinks a Senatorial seat would
make Mr.. Bryan look smaller instead
OF larger The Commoner would al
most cease TO be the Commoner, in
a Senatorial setting. He would be
associated in the popular mind with
things and people savoring OF the
etTete. the plutocratic, the bureaucratic
business OF government in Washing
ton. He would hardly be able to run
the Senate" or to boss Congress. -
He would doubtless try to make his
influence felt; and it Is certainly ga in
teresting question if the trial, and
failure which would follow, would
not injure his standing with the peo-
pie, and tend TO break down the ideal
which has been set up in the minds
and hearts of many of his admirers
1t may well be doubted w. if it
would be 10 the expansion of Mr..
Bryan's prestige and the growth of
his influence, for him to come down to
intimate, everyday association with
the business of government as it Is
carried on at the Capital.
There Is ample field for choice in this
business of disPosing of Mr.. Bryan.
Lately 1t has been circumstantislly in
ferrcd that he viii move away to
Texas and ask the Lone Star State to
send him to the Senate. This may be
set down with many other stories, in
the important if true" class.
Really as to these questions about
'what shall we do with our next
eN-President," and what shall we do
with Mr. Bryan" it would be better
worth while To inquire what will they
do with us2' Neither of them will
want for opportunities OF activity and
usefulness.

To- succeed himself viii have no doubt
on this score.
But 1T is q practice under which any
honest man of good impulses must

Namiesty one OF the exceptions is the
charge that the Presidents brother-in-
