obligations Of Civil Wa..

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war There was a
still greater debt, an everlasting obli-
CATION that could never be paid In full
But in the years that have followed.
the Repul.!can party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors Of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system, a
product Of the policy of the Republican
party, has no precedent in history and
NO equal in justice and generosity
among the nations of the earth.-Hon.
James s. Sherman.

exceptions to cover such cases, and we
have learned that it is equally 'binding
as to what 1t omits."
If we could imagine such a crude
prohibition to be enacted into law, and
to be regarded as valid, what would be
the effect? Mr.. Bryan, with his usual
readiness, suggests that the concern
may sell as much of its plants as are
not needed to produce the amount al
lowed by law. He speaks as though
every manufacturing concern had as
many fully equipped units of produc-
ton as would correspond to any given
percentage of trade which it might be-
required to lop off. Plants are not 50
easily disMe:lbered. Reduction in out
put means reduction In work, reduction
in the number of men employed and
! curtalment OF the efficiency of a going
concern. Lei us suppose concern
which controls 80 per cent Of given
product--thdt is to say makes and
sells $S.O00.u00 in value out of a total
trade in The product amounting to $780,
| O00,Gt0. Is it to be compelled to reduce
| its output to S2,0O0OG0 because only
S2N10OCO in value are made by others?
Then, if it could sell part of it's plaet
on Mr. Bryan's theory. What should ii
sell? Should it sell off enough to re-
duce It's capacity to $5000,O0O. and
allow three-tifths of its plant to remain
| idle until others developed Il capacity
| for handling the other $5,000,O00?
| Should it assume that the total trade
will increase and is not always to re-
main at S10O0O.0O0, and hence retain
l9rSer portion Of its plant in idle
ness? Or suppose a concern controls
100 per cent Of the trade in some arti-
Gle, what plants shall 1t retain? It
| can produce nothing until others pro-
duce; but it may produce an amount
equal to the production OF others. and
1t hopes the trade will grow. What a
vision of business uncertainty and con,
| fusion, of idle and impaired plants. Of
the ruin of workingmen whose lives
have clustered around particular indus
tries and who depend upon their con
tinued efficiency, is presented by this
fanciful remedy for the destruction Of
trusts!
Apart from this, Ii the dissolution
were effected in the manner desired
and portions Of plants could be sold
and were sold as suggested, to whom
would the sale be made? Would it be
necessarily to foes or to those ambi-
tious to be competitors and anxious to
take advantage Of Its plight?
This proposal In its utter disregard
Of the facts of business, Ia its substi-
tuition of the phantasies Of the imagin-
alton for the realities of life, stamps
the Democratic platform with the fatal
stamp of 1896. The commerce and in
dustry of this country, the interests Of
its wage earners and Of its lnterdepend-
ent masses, who must rely upon the
stability of business, cannot afford to
give license to such vagarles.
In the solemnity with which this
proposal has been declared, and the in
sistence with which it Is advocated. we
find an appropriate test of the capacity
of our opponents to deal wisely with
the problems of the day.

POPULISTS IN CONVENTION
Bryan Supporters Fail to Secure Ad-
journment.

st. Louis, April 3.-The Populist ma
nonal convention, which was called
for 10 a. m, was somewhat behind
that hour in beginning proceedings
The chief cause of this was the re-
neWed efforts of the supporters of
William J. Bryan to secure an agree
ment for an adjournment until after
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions. They made strong
arguments before the members of the
national committee and also before
the committee on credentials, but
with no apparent effect, save to delay
the proceedings.
The convention came to order short
~ before II o'clock, about 800 dele
gates being present. After an invoca-
ton by Rev Thomas Wadsworth of
indiana the formal proceedings were
begun by James III. Ferris of Joliet.

zoe.
Following the address of Mr.. Ferris
Jacob s. Coxey of Ohio was named as
temporary chairman of the conven-
aon. After taking the chair he made
an address, covering the leading eco
Romical questions of the day, paying
particular attention to the currency.

JACOB SCHAEFER.

Schaefer is in favor of the AL BALI
line game taking the place of the 49,
as the masters game.
He points to the fact that the play
in the recent championship matches
was far below the standard set when
the 1871 game was inaugurated.
While the professionals are finding
the game more difficult than in former
years and the fans are finding it less
interesting, Schaefer thinks the play
ers would do well to take time by the
forelock and switch to more interest
ing game before the public loses ali In.

Cricketers to Play In England.

Philadelphia is going to send crick'
ct team to England again next summer
to beard the lions of this ancient out
door game in their own jungle. A
schedule Of contests is now nearly
completed, and while it is not quite 80
good as the gentlemen of Philadelphia
had on their last trip in 1908 it Is con-
sidered very satisfactory one from
many angles. The mem bers of the
team expect to sail about June %, and
the return to this country will be
about Sept. l. The team that has been
chosen for this trip is considered one
of the best all around ordinations
that have ever represented Philadelphia
abroad. All the men chosen. with four
exceptions. have played in England
previously on all Philadelphia teams.
These four men are Greene, Morice
Hordern and Winter. The latter two
have played abroad, however, being
members of the University of Pennsyl-
vania team which played over there
last summer.

Names for the Sea Lions.

Baltimore's park board is having
difficulty in naming a span of sea
lions. Our contemporary, the News,
of that city, undertakes TO help by
citing the practice among the In
hians, where the women who serve
an lieu of trained nurses look out

the newborn babe the name of
whatever the eye first falls upon
flame Horse" "Rain in the Face
''Sitting Bull" Bear Scratching
Tree" and the like.
If the tots of our sister city can
prevent, Baltimore shall not be put
TO any such resort. They are send
ling TO the News a whole direc-
tory of names. Phrase and fable
are alike cOmprehended, the entries
ranging from Pallas and Jupiter to
Hige and lobe. On the assumption
that the park board may adopt the
INDIAN custom, however, its range
of choice will be widely extended,
such names as Oriole and Beauty.
Zones and Falls, Fire District, and
Open Sewer suggesting themselves
on the instant.
But two names offer which to this
nong-distance view seem better than
any of these. AS a rank outsider,
The Times proposes them modestIy,
gbut confidently. They may have the
merits of linking mythology and
current history, of carrying the
mind from prehistoric Greece TO the
imodern Eastern Shore, of coupling
two that have ever braved the
lightning. They are:
Ajax and Bjax, the "B" standing
Tor Bill, of course.
Or, if the park board prefers the
Sernacular, the plain method and di-
erect, why not simply cut cross lots
and baptize these infants of the
pond with names sure to foster
their growth into the Great Splashes
the city would have them be? What
are those names? What should
they be but
BE and Sydney.
