Some of our exchanges are draw
ing a similarity between William
Jennings Bryan and Daniel Webster.
The similarity. however, is more
dlssimilar than similar. The great
Daniel did not confine his beverages
10 grape juice" and he was noto-
riously a spendthrift. 1t is also said
that he sometimes sat in a game with
the boys when the stakes were larger
than pennies.
The Albany IN. " Knickerbocker
Press says that when Mr.. Webster
was made secretary of state in Pres
.dent Tyler's cabinet in 1851, he com
planned that the income OF the office
was not sufficient to maintain him in
his accustomed style of living, and
tacitly entered into an agreement
with the bankers of New York and
Boston to have them pad out the sal
airy for him.
The following extract from speech
made By Congressman Allen of Wor
cester Mass, in 1851. will furnish
some light on the transaction:
It Is a fact notorious in Boston
Las when Mr. Webster was called

receive compensation which this gov
eminent deems sufficient, he entered

sition $4,000 was said 10 be raised

York Such an arrangement, proceed
ing from a suggestion of the secretary
himself. was actually made; and
have most satisfactory reasons for be-
lieving that the arrangement was car
ried out by the raising OF $4,000 in
New York and $4,000 in Boston. The
secretary of state stands in that place
quite as much the stipendiary OF the
bankers OF Wall street and State
street as he does of the government.
In commenting on this interesting
disclosure the Springfield Republican
says:
THE income from $4,000 at that
time was $1,000. Intsead of calling
on his friends TO add that sum to his
income. as Webster did, Mr.. Bryan
let il be known that his salary was
not sufficient for the legitimate ex-
penses of the office-a fact the coun-
try ought to know-and declared that
he would make it up by lecturing in
his vacation. There is not the least
doubt that the fund and even more
was raised for Mr.. Webster, and one
donation from Moses II. Grinnell OF
10000. for which Webster magnifi-
Gently gave his note, was part OF the
stipend. This note. presented TO the
executors after Webster's death, had
to be met. and it rendered the estate
insolvent. Viewed in the light of this
age Webster's wage seemed trivial,
but il was liberal for his day and gen.
Grafton"
That either of the occupants of this
high office should have placed them
selves in an attitude TO be criticised
Is unfortunate for the country.
There is nothing criminal in what
Mr.. Bryan has done; he has simply
lowered the dignity of the office by
putting himself on a plane with yo-
dlers and other vaudeville artists.
His doing so is simply hurtful to
the finer sensibilities of his friends.

'The prison system" says Mr.
Thomas Mott Osborne, who served a
short term in prison, pretending to
be a prisoner. "is form of slavery. y
II can scarcely be anything less than
slavery. but slavery had its good fea.
lures and its bad features. Constant
efforts should be made to eliminate
the bad features of prison slavery.
Cant. Purvis, superintendent of the
prlson farm located near ocala, says
that great deal better work can be
gotten out of the prisoners by kind
than by cruel treatment. and that was
the experience OF slave-owners. The
aowers of humanity will win over the
thistles OF cruelty ten to one.
