It has de- | bauched courts and legisiatures, bribed public offictals, corrupted and Intimidated voters, committed frauds on the ballot and had recourse to vio- lence and lawlessness.

The price of its pro- | tection to the worst elements of soclety is measured only by its political neces sities. Mr. Bryan sald in his Madison Square Garden speech that the demo- cratic party draws the line between | honest wealth and predatory wealth, Yet he not only consorted with Croker, but lauded him. Bryan sald that the democratie party draws the line “be- tween that wealth which Is a just com- pensation for services reundered and that wealth which simply measures the advantage which one citizen has taken over many citizens.” What service bas Croker rendered for his wealth and how did he obtain it if not through the advantages he took of many citi- zens as the chlef of Tammany? Has anybody ever heard any other explana tion of Croker's rise from comparative poverty to afiuence? Referring to the alliance of Bryan and Croker, the Philadelphla Record, an independent democratie paper, say! After all, the grand demon- stration In New York City was a triumph of Croker in his capacity of | Tammany chief rather than of Bryan | as the democratic candidate for the | product of a law enacted by the last | legislature and is given general super- vision over the library movement, has mapned out a number of new lines which it proposes to develop. The suggestion that appealed particularly as a timely Innovation contemplates the establishment of a sort of “maga- zine clearing house by which periodical publications are to be collected from sources disposed to contribute and to be distributed to the smaller librarles and schools throughout the state. The great growth of magazine litera- ture within the last few years and its extension into every fleld of educa- tional, historical and sclentific activity, to say nothing of the marked elevation of the literary and artistic standard, has made the department devoted to periodicals one of the most important and most utilized branches of the fn‘q'l library. While the higher class monthlies, weeklies and daily news. papers can mever entirely supersede the more substantial literary output in standard works, they constitute the popularizing machinery that keeps the library in close contact with the peo- ple and are often the cause of cultivat- ing a literary taste that eventually | takes up with the welghtier treatises and general literary productions. With the real object of the Library commission to make the libraries under its jurisdiction more accessible and more serviceable to the people, the lowa commission is working in the right direction with its magazine clear- ing house project. ANGLU-GERMAN AGREEMENT. Ofliclal announcement is made of an agreement between Great Britain and Germany that has a most importaut bearing upon the Chinese problem.

Those govern- ments agree that they “will not onm American rule means peace and prog ress and do not know what the re- sults of native rule will be, Tlere is every indication, however, that the ma- Jority of the people will favor an in- dependent government and that they will get what they want without any attempt on the part of the Ufited States to lufluence their decision, S —— Statistics have been complled embrac- ing farm loans aggregating in amount | $11,000,000, placed in nortbern and cen tral Illinois, lowa, northwestern Mis sourl, southern Miunesota and eastern | Nebraska, which show that the ayeruge rate of Interest pald on them dur g 1806 was 6.84 per cent, waile in 1000 1t bad fallen to 5.38 per cent.

The resolu- tion, however, is carefully worded so as to be entirely noncommittal and the suggestion limited to teachers who have taught for twenty cousecutive years in the state. The question of teachers' pensions is really a part only of the larger question of pensions for all pub- le servants.
