REAL MEAN.

The Indianapolis Star is what
Artemus Ward called "a amoosin cuss''
when it talks politics. mfr. Bryan's
many amiable personal qualities" 1t
says, ARE such as to attract to him
large numbers of persons. both men
and women. who ind themselves prae-
tically unable to resist the splendor Of
his rhetoric. the musical quality of his
voice. the comprehensiveness Of his
confident smile.
Mr.. Bryan is not only a winsome
man; he is much more than that--he
is a good man. He is, as we under
stand 1t. a trinltarian--his face is a
familiar one at church on Sunday
morning and at other assembling of
the saints. He has a bow and smile
that might serve as models. even at
Newport or Narragansett Pier. He is
exemplary and affectionate in the home.
on the street. in the social circle. at
the popular gathering. He is de-
scribed as an ideal husband. a fond
and indulgent father. charming COM
panion. fine taiker. either in CONVEX
sation or in monologue. 1t has even
been said that he is Scotch Irish
All the fine encomiums of Mr.. Bryan
are plainly sincere, and we know they
are deserved. All of them. however.
as will be observed. relate solely to
his personal qualities and character.
There is not word as to his politics,
his public services or attachments. OF
anything relating to Official or public
life. 1t is all a kindly estimate of
Mr.. Bryan the man, not Mr.. Bryan the
politician the candidate or the office
holder.
That is one side of the shield. and
now for the other, having reference
to Mr.. Bryan's probable or possible
election. ANY man. 1t adds. whose
business slows down after election, or
who finds himself out Of a Job, may
console himself and his family with
the reflection that Mr.. Bryan never
beats his wife, and that he wears a
Prince Albert coat with uncommon
dignity and grace"
There is the sneering meaness of the
editorial. After lauding the man as
warmly as any of his best friends could
do 1t turns to and virtually warns
voters that IL Bryan is elected their
business will slow down and working
men find themselves out of Jobs. In
other words. Mr.. Bryan is an all
around good man in private life but
would be a dangerous man as Presi-
dent. 1t is real mean in The Star,
that's what it is.

A BIG-HEADED ONE.

They dig up some rare relics of pre-
historic ages up in Montana, Wyoming
and other portions of that wonderful
region. Evidences are constantly &C.
cumulating that at some remote period
that portion. of the American continent
was beyond doubt the home of many
of the strangest and most gigantic
species of animal life that the world
has ever seen. Some of them were of
the fowl species. some were land ami
mails. and others were amphibians of
strange form and enormous size. Re-
mains of these ancient creatures are
constantly being brought to light and
vast region there is a genuine mine
for the searchers after prehistoric re-
mains.
A notable specimen of those strange
things which flourished in that region
thousands or millions of years ago was
recently dug up in what is known as
the Bad Lands of Montana. Practically
the entire skeleton was found and the
measurements show that the creature
was at least forty feet long and TWEEN
ty-two feet high. Perhaps the strang-
est feature about it is the statement
that the skull alone weighs four thou
sand pounds. Let any one ascertain
the weight of the cleaned skull of a
horse. for example, and compare it

The esteemed Boston Herald has cut
out the coIored Sunday supplement
which has heretofore been feature Of
that old newspaper, and It gives its
reasons therefor. The supplement Is
no longer novel. no longer attractive.
no longer original, no longer amusing
even. What is worse. 1t has become
vulgar, and does not measure up to the
cultivated tastes of aesthetic Boston.
In short. nothing so common as the
colored supplement is to be handed
out to the Bostonese readers of The
Herald as an appetizer for their Sum
day breakfast. Boston is reforming.

with the weight of the entire animal
when living and he can form some ides
OF the weight of this Montana reii<
when it lived on earth. Nothing but
tons can be used to signify the total
weight Of such an animal.
1t is perplexing as well as inter.
esting business to try to arrive at any
definite idea as to the length OF time
that has elapsed since these strange
and uncouth creatures existed on this
continent. and the scientists are little
more agreed or satisfied than the lay
men are. Some place the date among
the thousands of years and others
among the millions. Nor Is this all,
for they do not agree as to whether
these remains were buried during one
great and overwhelming cataclysm at
some indefinitely remote period of
time. or whether different families of
monsters existed at different periods OF
past ages. each to be destroyed and
buried in Its time and each to be sue
ceeded by another until finally the last
of them were extingufshed by some
CONFUSION of nature which has not
been repeated.
All these are questions to be dis
cussed and controversial by wise and
unwise alike, but no definite conclusion
can be arrived at. We know from
actual observation that in some long
ago period of earth's existence parts of
this continent were inhabited by crea-
lures of size and shape which have
no counterparts on earth in our day.
and that is about all we are sure of.
The wise student of such things can
take the skeleton of one of these ami
mails and form a pretty fair estimate
of It's size and shape when living, and
also of its habits and governing char
acteristics while IL numbered the earth
with its formidable presence, but that
is about all. When you ask him when
the animal ceased TO exist, or how long
he and his kind lived on earth. no
answer can be given. This animal
with the big head may have been
buried fifty thousand or fifty million
years ago for all we know or can learn.
He lived, he died. and left his remains
for man to speculate about. and that
is about the sum of our knowledge.

WILL THEY SETTLE TIT

Many queer and intricate questions
Of law come up to be settled by the
courts. Sometimes It might be more
accurate to say they are unsettled by
the courts but that might be taken as
reflection on the judiciary. so we
will not insist on looking at 1t that
way. True, the courts Of the country
do sometimes settle things after a way
of their own, but as humanity is not
i perfect we suppose we have no more
right to look to courts for perfection
than might be expected from others.
Leaving all that out, however, we
notice in The Brooklyn Eagle an ac-
count of the filing of libel suit which
may bring out queer decision, and
possibly one about which there may
be wide difference of opinion. Accord
ing to the New York laws-whether it
is the same in all States we are not
informed-but under the laws Of that
State, there must be publicity in order
to constitute a libel For example, IL
a man writes an abusive and insulting
letter to another. but does not allow
any other person to see it or know
anything OF its contents, It does not
constitute a libel under the law and
the recipient of the missive cannot sus-
tain libel suit against the writer.
He may sue the writer for damages
or injury to his feelings, but not for
libel.
So far so good. as to what It takes
to constitute and establish libel under
the law. but now there comes up an
other point which the New York courts
are to be called on to settle. If a man
dictates an abusive and insulting LETT
ter to his stenographer or typewriter
and that person copies and forwards
1t without any other person seeing 1t,
does that constitute publicity within
the meaning of the law? In other
words, does d man give publicity to a
letter by debating It to an employee?
That is the point that will come up,
and we suspect that there will be some
fine spun arguments on each side. The
question is. VIII it be settled when 1t
is settled?
