Fruit of Republican Rule

Considering the per capita figures
of some other countries it is plain that
the average American has no ground
for complaint. The 100000 of Aus
TRANS and Hungarians have only
S9.04 apiece or about oue-fourth of the
average holding of the American. The
49,500,00O of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland have only
$175S, or about one-half of the Amer
lean average. Even in prosperous
Germany, with its population of S.
100000, the per capita wealth is but
S22.46. The Japanese have each 1892.
Hindus $S.05, while the Chinese. the
most numerous of all the peoples of
the earth, totaling approximately $780,
100000, possess the munificent sum of
$1.06 apiece. The per capita circuIa.
ton of the United States is $685..

Aldrich Bill Amendments

The senate passed the Aldrich bill
much amended. OF course, the most
important change was the elimination
OF the provision authorizing the issue
OF notes based on railroad securities.
Other amendments are the increase of
the permitted circulation from $3.50.
100000 to $500000,0O0, and recurring
the banks to pay interest on govern
ment deposits. The reserve provision
is better than it originally was, for it
is now necessary that of the Is per
cent. reserve required in nonreserve
cities four-fifths must be kept in the
vaults of the bank, of which amount
one-third may be in proper securities.
National banks are not permitted to
invest their funds in stocks or securi-
ties OF corporations, the officers or d.
rectors of which are officers or d.
rectors Of the banks.
The amendment offered by Senator
Nelson. providing for a guarantee of
deposits very much on the line of the
scheme proposed by Mr.. Bryan. was
voted down, and only two Democrats
voted for it. The bill finally passed
by vote of AZ to 16, five Republicans
voting in the negative. What are the
chances of this measure in the house
we do not know. In our opinion it has
little merit. The idea seems to be
that it is necessary to do something,
and congress is less afraid of the
Aldrich bill than of any other. We be-
lieve that it will give little or no re-
lief, when relief is needed, and that
1t will prove to be only another OBJ
stacle in the path of real reform-In.

Mr.. BRYAN Saves Himself.

The national Democratic club OF
New York, through Congressman
Sulzer, invited William Jennings Bry
an to attend it's Jefferson day ban
quet. Mr.. Bryan accepted the invita-
tions and requested that he be the
last speaker of the occasion, naming
The Art of Government" as his topic
1t then became known that a large
element in the club was insisting
that, though Congressman Sulzer was
authorized to invite Mr.. Bryan to at
tend the dinner, he was not author
lied to invite him to speak. And ii
became known, furthermore, that a
large element of the club would insist
that Mr.. Bryan should be Informed
that he would be expected to be a
listener only.
Out of this misunderstanding a
heated controversy arose. Conse-
quently Congressman Sulzer received
from Mr.. Bryan the following brief
but expressive telegram:
Have withdrawn acceptance. The
discussion makes it unwise to go"
Though man in the very prime
and vigor of life, and capable perhaps
of as much endurance as any other
man Of his age in the country, Mr..
Bryan, nevertheless, realizes that
there are certain strains which he
should not voluntarily undergo.
BY the exercise of all his will pow
er Mr.. Bryan might be able to main
tain a dignified silence through much
of the speechmaking at this Jefferson
day banquet, but he knows that even
this would depend altogether upon
circumstances over which he could
have no control.
If the speeches were friendly to
him and to his cause he might, by
main strength, succeed in holding him
self in his chair, but If, on the other
hand, they should contain favorable
references to Judge Parker, to Gray
of Delaware. or to Johnson of Mime
sofa, he knows that one of two things
would be pretty certain to happen-he
would either be on his feet spellbind-
ing the banqueters before they knew
it or he would be on the floor in a fit
superinduced by a rush of oratory to
the head.
At this stage of the campaign Mr..
Bryan cannot afford to take any risks.
For man of his habits to sit at ban
quet table, listening to half dozen
spellbinders, with the knowledge upon
him that the POSTMASTER would ad-
journ the gathering without giving
him a chance to speak, would be will
fully to commit a suicidal act.
Mr.. Bryan was wise to withdraw -

Old Boots Made Valuable.

The Gaulois of Paris has been en-
pertaining its readers with patent
leather boot story. 1t seems that
every six months each sewer man Of
Paris receives a pair Of heavy boots.
At the end of the period these articles
are worthless as far as the original
purpose is concerned, but they have
actually increased in value. The old
boots are sold to the leather dressers,
IL is said, as the conditions under
which they have been used make the
leather peculiarly adapted for con-
version into patent leather for dress
shoes.

RECKONING MUST az HAD.
Necessity That President Castro BE
Called to Account.

The Venezuelan question Is at last
before congress. No one will deny
that the American government has
been careful, deliberate and patient
with President Castro and his ad-
visers. No one will charge it with
Jingoism or spectacularism in connec-
ton with this vexed and obscure and
complicated question, which, upon
analysis, resolves itself into a series
of distinct claims and disputes. And
n0 one can doubt that IL greater
and more responsible power were in
volved in this controversy with the
United States our government would
have acted with far more vigor and
far less reluctance and hesitancy. 1t
is, in truth, the weakness and COM
parative insignificance of Venezuela
States that have caused the latter to
overlook various manifestations of 'in.
difference and disrespect' on the part
of Castro, and to rely on diplomacy
after all it's other resources had been
exhausted.
1t is extremely unpleasant for any
powerful, honorable and self-respect-
ing nation to be forced into an open
rupture with minor and reckless
power. Some are bound to misinter-
pref and misrepresent such situa-
ton to the advantage of the poor,
helpless under dog" Yet it Is toler-
ably plain that weakness is no excuse
for in irStira ,,oroo coma hlopocc md an
offensive, contemptuous attitude. I'm
der certain circumstances it may be-
come the painful duty of the big
power to discipline and coe. ce one
that merely presumes on it's small
ness and insignificance.
In the case Of Venezuela our gov
eminent has certainly reached stage
where it must either use some form
OF coercion or submit to what it be-
lieves and feels to be grave injustice
to persons and corporations entitled
to its aid and protection. Secretary
Root has thrice demonstrated his good
will toward our neighbors in Central
and South America. He has made
conspicuously successful efforts to dis
pei suspicion and prejudice against
us and to establish friendly, fair,
frank relations among all the nations
of the western hemisphere. He is,
moreover, an able lawyer and clear
headed statesman. He has earnestly
considered every objection Venezuela
has advanced to the arbitration that
we have proposed to her on several
different occasions. He has made all
allowances and discounted every
claim that was of doubtful equity.
Enough, however, remains even in the
least meritorious of the claims to de-
mand honest recognition from Vene-
Zuela.
Such recognition Castro has con-
tumaciously refused even to consider,
and the time has come for appropriate
action in the premises on the part of
congress. Whatever is done should
be done thoughtfully, circumspectly
and soberly, however.

That night the steamer lay in the

up. All vessels lie so in river
where steam at moments notice
may be required to save going
aground. 1t was Clark's watch in the
engine room from eight o'clock to
midnight. The second engineer had
halloed down from above IL all was
right and Clark, after testing the
steam power, had hailed back that all
was right and that he could go to

now interested.
"Kape your ears open about tin

Clark sat for an hour on watch be-
fore his engine and then he started,
for two something's had bumped down
the ventilator on to the iron deck

situation.
Summoning the assistance of the
dago coal passer the feathers were
promptly snatched off the birds and
every bit or refuse cast into the fur
mace. Then the carcasses were placed
in two buckets and set to boil before
the furnace doors.

ISSUES ARE JOINED
BRYAN AND TAFT PLATFORMS
COMPARED.
Questions of the Coming Campaign
Pretty Well Laid Before the Vot-
ers in the Ohio and Nebras-
ka Declarations.

The Ohio Republican platform is
said to have been examined and ap-
proved by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft. and the Nebraska Dem
ocratic platform had the immediate
supervision of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is prob
able, therefore, that these two plat
forms anticipate pretty closely the
platforms that are to be adopted by
the national conventions, and it Is in
teresting to note some of the differ
ences between them and the questions
upon which issue is joined.
The Taft platform calls for tariff
revision, but in doing so insists par
ticularly upon adequate protection
for American manufacturers, farmers,
producers and wage-earners. The
Bryan platform demands that articles
entering into competition with ar
ticles controlled by trusts be placed on
the free list, that reductions be made
In the tariff on the necessaries OF life
and that reductions be made I'm such
other schedules as may be necessary
to restore the tariff to a revenue
basis"
The Taft platform attacks the dis
reimbursement legislation of the south
ern states and favors 1.-The reduction
Of representation in congress and the
electoral college in all states Of this
union where white and colored citi-
zens are disfranchised." Upon this
subject the Bryan platform has moth.
ing to say.
The Taft platform calls for "such
notifications of the currency laws as
will provide for the demands of com
merce, satisfy the needs of all portions
Of the country and have at all times
the quality of undoubted security
On this subject there will probably be
legislation by congress before the ma
tional conventions meet. The Bryan
platform opposes both the Aldrich and
the Fowler bills, insists that emer-
gency currency should be issued and
controlled by the federal government
and that it should be loaned upon ade-
quate security and at a rate Of in,
terest which will compel it's retirement
when the emergency is passed 1t de,
mands better regulation of banks and
specific security for depositors.
The Taft platform enumerates
among its policies the development
step by step of popular government
in the Philippines. The Bryan plat
form says: I'VE favor an immediate
declaration of the nations purpose to
recognize the independence of the
Philippine Islands as soon as a stable
government can be established, such
independence to be guarded by us as
we guard the independence of Cuba,
until the naturalization of the islands
can be secured by treaty with other
powers"
There is agreement upon certain
of the policies with which the Roose-
welt administration is identified, and
the Bryan PLATFORM which is much the
longer of the two, touches upon sub.
jects not mentioned in the Taft plat
form. Some of them may lead to par
tisan controversies, but issue is not
likely to be Joined over others.

The steamer Juliet lay in the river
off San Nicola, outward bound from
Rosario to London. A true specimen
of the genus tramp was the Juliet.
Run for dividends she was, like her
crew, overworked and starved, for IL
the crew had little to eat, and that
bad, the poor old craft had SO little
paint on her sides that great splotches
developed as IL she had a promising
case Of eczema.
Forward of the quarter deck she
was hungry ship. Since the day she
had steamed out Of Cardiff for Las
Palmas the crew had lived on rank
beef and petrified Liverpool Families.
At the start three potatoes had been
served to each man daily, and when
the men en- masse petitioned for more
the supply had been cut down to two,
one, and finally none.

OF course there were shore days at
Las Palmas and Rosario, but then,
after the men had filled up with rum,
there was no money left for edibles.
What added to the discomfort of the
crew was that the cabin lived well,
and when they saw and shifted
chicken pie, etc., going aft it made
the beef nastier and the biscuit
harder.
At Rosario the skipper had bought
ten turkeys for cabin delectation.
