HEARST'S OBJECTIONS

There is grim humor in the chaructel
of the objections offered by William r
Hearst To the support of Mr.. Bryan thi:
year. because Democracy isa discrcdit
ed and decadent old party which has
neither conscious conviction nor honest
intention.
Worse still, MIR. Hearst says he has
lost faith in the ability. III the sincerity
and even the integrity of the party
leaders"
Isn't it too badI Hearst has lost faith.
Here is Il confiding young man with
high ideals, noble ambitions and disin'
tcrested motives, and all of Il sudden he
wakes up To find that the old party has
gone to the demnition bowwows and
that he has been working with wicked
men for an ignoblc end.
We can imagine the shock to such Il
noble. innocent youth, one ofso guilelesS
II life, II who has never known what it
was TO spend money viciously in II con.

are worthy and of the kind that will

There need be no fear for the Dem
ocracy that the enforcement of the
Hearst press will he Il distinctive loss To
the cause. II will he remembered that
in 1896 and 1900 Bryan was accused of
being an unsafe man because of the sup.

CONSIDERING BRYAN

There is to bc found in many news

GOODNESS III considering Bryan and an
application Of analysis that is somewhat
unusual, that certainly is not found in
northern newspapers committed to- the
support Of the opposing candidate. The
New Orleans Times. Democrat offers an
example that is both interesting and in
structivc. Concluding an editorial,
which discusses nj length the charge of
Bryan's repeated trials for the presi.
dcncy, it says:
To imagine that Il man of this type is
II cheap dcmagoguc is To lack both
brains and humor. The hour of the
republics doom will he near when
millions of Americans can be bcguilcd
through more than Il decade by a
Demosthcsian tongue. Masses of men
have never yet followed Il trickster for
long and the phrase. maker always
snrinks to his real size. in the sober
second thought. Tried by this supreme
test, Mr.. Bryan's place among the
cOuntry's statesmen is secure. Like
Webster and Clay aud Calhoun, he will
as a private citizen dwarf most &c.
cupants of the presidential chair.
The campaign thus begun is bound ia
be III of the most fatcful in our annals
Wall street and its allies will picture
Mr.. Bryan us II socialist AMI u dreamer,
mad with ambition and in love with
outworn hcrcsics. But mere vitupcra.

panic blunt the general resolve to com

BONDS SNAPPED UP.
Pennsylvania Issue Oversub. scribed More Than Twen-
 ty-five Times,
BOTH HERE AND ABROAD
Subscriptions to s4O.00O.0O0 1 Per Cents. Exceeded One Billion
 Dollars.

New York, April 27 Subscriptions to the Pennsylvania railroad si0,ooo,oOO 1 per cent bonds offered by Kuhn. Loeb & Co., which opened and closed to-day, exceeded sl,0 O,O00,0OO.
 In other words, the issue was over subscribed more than 25 times All rec ords for oversuhscriptions were broken.
 The closing Of the subscriptions was simultaneous with the opening, and was attended by scenes of excitement.
 As the day advanced and the large force opening the subscriptions pro- gressed with their work it was realized how remarkablethe success of the offer had been Just before o'clock It was said the subscriptions would reach sl, 250, 900, GOO.
 The number of American applicants alone was 10000.
 The subscriptions are the largest since that for the s20O,0o0 000 Spanish war loan In 1898 They are the largest for any but government loans.
 Criticism has been made on tho state ment to the effect that the new s4O.- 900, GOO bonds of the Pennsylvania are A first lien on the railroad from New York to Pittebure. The criticism is well grounded so far as concerns the lien on the property from New York to Philadelphia. There are now out standing as g lien on that portion of the road, s20 GOO. 900 bonds of the United New Jersey Railroad and Canal com pany, consisting of ss41, GOO general 6's of 1908, $l3, GOO general 4s, maturing from 1923 to 1914, and s5,669,00O general l2s due 1851, all guaranteed, interest and principal, by the Pennsylvania railroad under the 999-year lease of 1871; also s21, ,24O.0OO capital stock of the United Jersey company on which a 10 per cent. dividend is guaranteed under the same lease, and si94,1OO capital stock of the Philadelphia and Trenton railway similarly guaranteed. Since these properties are leased, not owned. these obligations come ahead of the new Pennsylvania bonds. but the lease itself is pledged as security for these bonds.

Therefore the consolidated mortgage will by 1910 carry an absolute first lien on the main line from Phil l adelphia to Pitteburg.
