of St. Anthony of Padua, Sullivan street, New
York City His promotion is rapid. From St.
Anthonys he goes as head of the Allegheny Col
ege then visits Italy where he selected as pro-
vincial of the Order of ST. Bernardine, and in
few years was consecrated Bishop of Lacedogna,
Italy. Three years later he is appointed by the
Pope Archbishop of Acerenza and Matera. Here
he discharged his onerous duties admirably that
he was rewarded by his Holiness in August, 1899,
with the important post of Apostolic Delegate to
the Dominion of Canada. His exceptional famiI-
arity with matters of ecclesiastical administration
singled him out for the still more important office
at Washington, where a vacancy created by
the appointment of Mgr. Martinelli to the College
of Cardinals. And now in recognition of his great
ability, his piety scholarship and fidelity, he, him
self hears the invitation: Friend go up higher.
His future residence will probably be at Rome,
where his vast experience will be of untold assist
ance to the Supreme Pontif on the government of
the Church in Canada and the United States.

burden upon the land. We tax agriculture to make
profit for the industries of the cities. We taxed
lumber until the forests were destroyed. We taxed
the sources of our livelihood until the life of the
producer became unattractiye for lack of profit.
Fortunes have been made and squandered and other
fortunes built up in the cities, and the farmer has
seen it and has known that without his efforts the
cities would starve.
The conditions which have made this unpleasant
state of affairs largely result of legislation
which has made abnormal profits possible-a con-
dition which many 'reformers" are defending
and at the same time seeking remedy for the evils
of their own legislation. A tax imposed upon one
class for the benefit of another, no matter under
what name or by what subterfuge defended, is I'M
just to all. What the farmer needs than any
favoritism from high or low sources is the much
bcasted square deal,'' thing he will never re-
ceive as long as he listens collectively to the preach
ments of the politicians If agriculture in America
we're not almost phenomenal in its productivity it
would never have been called upon to support any
infant industry, and had it been so called, would
have failed.

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.

America is great country. And one of the best
evidences of that truism lies in the appropriations
of our national Congress. The last Congress ar-
thorized the expenditure of $1O9S, S47, 184-more
than thousand millions or a million thousands of
dollars. A number of years ago member of Con
gress chided at the size of the appropriations
when they had passed the billion-dollar mark, and
he made the reply that this was billion-dollar
country. Perhaps it is a billion-dollar country;
our wheat crop would run the government at this
rate for six months. Perhaps it is billion-dollar
country; the value of the product of our gold mines
since the foundation of the government would run
us about three years. A billion dollars is more
than the combined capital of all the national banks
in the United States divided into ten-dollar gold
pieces there would be enough to supply every man,

HONEST ADVERTISING.

One reason why some merchants
fail to advertise enough to secure pros
perity is on account of the harm done
by exaggerated and too highly colored
advertising. So many notices of this
kind are used by a certain class of
traders, that it produces in the pub
lie mind degree of suspicion, which
discourages some from getting the
publicity they need.
At the same time, it is perfectly
easy for merchant to establish a
reputation for honest advertising. 1t
is generally possible for the discrimi.
mating buyer to tell the difference be-
tween an offering that is inherently
improbable, and one which seems like
ly under the circumstances. II the
merchant makes it practice to pre-
sent conspicuously in his store every
bargain that he had advertised, the
public will soon learn that he delivers
the goods according to agreement.
A promise made by merchant in
his advertising ought to be Just as
binding as the promise he makes
when he signs a note. When a mer-
chant sets that high standard for him
self, 1t won't take the public long to
find II out.

Captain Bryan and His Crew.


Fremont Tribune: What is Capt
Bryan going to do about it?
In 1894 we saw him treated with the
same violence he was dealt with al
Grand Island last week ]. Sterling
Morton DR.. Miller, "Tobe" Castor. Jim
North and the other old.time pilots OF
Nebraska democracy threw the young
man overheard when he undertook to
commit the party to free silver In the
Lincoln convention. 1t was then he
threatened to "go out under another
banner and under another name" II
they held the party in this state to the
gold standard. They did it that year
but he didn't go out under any other
banner. He sailed right along and the
very next year he captured the con.
vention and threw the old leaders
overheard. They were picked up by a
friendly republican vessel that has af.
forded them safety and security most
of the time since.
But now Capt. Bryan has been con.
fronted with mutiny. There is deci.
sive strife among his officers and crew
with the result that the captain has
been bound, if not gagged, and thrust
into the hold
VIII he stay there? He indicates
that he will take his place among the
stokers or deck hands, or do other
mental service about the ship. This
unquestionably with the hope of get.
ting at the wheel again and steering
its course.
But why should not Mr.. Bryan come
over and join the republican crew ?
The republican ship is sailing for the
port Mr.. Bryan is booked for. Then
why should he not take passage on it
and help man it? He has shipped with
the free silver republicans; he has
enlisted with the populists. These
frail craft went down with him. The
republican ship is a much sturdier
vessel. His old mates and crew have
as much as told him they would re-
gard his services at present as of
doubtful value. He could do good
work for the republicans, who are
headed for the county option port by
way of the initiative and referendum
route. He says that is his destination,
and from which he will not vary an
inch"
viii ex-Capt. Bryan take the direct
course or will be stick to his old ship
and go to "Davy Jones" again?

A Liability or an Asset2

George Harvey in the North Amer
lean Review: Time has come for a
new reckoning. Turn the page and
take the pen. Is Roosevelt liability
or an asset? Who can say? He
fetches popularity sorely needed. He
also brings confusion and distraction.
He offers amazing power Of effective
appeal. In turn, he demands subser-
viency. He is willing, perforce, that
for the time his own nominee shall
continue to be president of the corpo.
ration, but he must be chairman of
the board. The president as an official
shall heed the bylaws, but he, the
chairman, must remain unfettered,
The president shall safeguard the or
ganization, but he, the chairman, must
be privileged ostentatiously to con.
spire with and furtively aid and abet
It's enemies. He, the chairman, must
be the great judge-the final arbiter
between president and directors on
the one hand and recalcitrants on the
other. He will be just and fair. The
scales suspended from his strong right
hand will be balanced as by a feather.
Appeal from any decision that he may
make, being essential to consideration
OF equity, must never be taken. All
must abide in faith in him und Colt.
These are the terms submitted by
Theodore Roosevelt, the force, to the
republican party. They are compound
ed in the mortar of studied insults,
which have been heaped upon the pres.
ident OF the board from the day on
which its would-be chairman arrived
In Genoa and took to his bosom an
employe whose virulent insubordina-
ton had necessitated his dismissal
from the public service by the presi.
dent himself. Subsequent happenings
need not be recounted. All have been
to the same effect. BY implication as
plain as 1t has been unvarying, he who
proposes to become chairman OF the
board, with unlimited power and with
out official responsibility, has served
notice upon the directors of the corpo-
ration that the cost Of the popularity
which he alone can put into its cof-
fers is complete mastery, and in the
doing thereof, to make his meaning
he has brought humilia-
ton to and heaped contumely upon
the president whom he once pronounc-
ed and whom many still believe to be
a noble man.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Bryan and County Option.

S'JaH anu Sounty OptIon.
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Mr.. Bry.
an has no right to say that he was
turned down by "the whisky element"
People can hardly be made to believe
that even the democratic party in
Nebraska, which has stood faithfully
back OF Mr.. Bryan for nearly twenty
years, has suddenly become a saloon
annex. People differ on the wisdom of
county option, and they have right
to differ, even though Colonel Bryan
says not. II the defeat of county op-
ton by the democrats of Nebraska
shows that party is controlled by 1.-The
whisky element" then it must follow
that South Dakota is also so controll-
ed because the people of this state
defeated county option in a referen-
DUN vote two years ago, and are like
ly to do the same thing again this fall.
The experience of other states with
county option is certainly not such as
to recommend it as sure cure for the
admitted evils of the saloon system,
and 1t is just barely possible that Col.
onel Bryan does not know It all.
There is this TO be thought of, also,
and that is that Colonel Bryan seems
just to have discovered the beauties
OF county option, though it has been
discussed for years and tried repeated
ly as a substitute for statewide prohi-
oition. We are wondering if it is now
such an essential thing, how 1t hap
pens that Mr.. Bryan did not think of
it as dominant issue when he was a
candidate for the presidency.
