England alone {had a parliamentary system, which was slightly im- pressed by a much restricted franchise. Wherever | else there was a legislative branch of government it | was subject to the will of the monarch and not of 1 the people. Now Parliaments are the rule, the lack of them e exception. The people speak through represen- |tation. The republican principle grows daily. Kings |and Cabinets bow to the public will, and there is a | condition in government that would ~have made | Frederick and Louis and George, Rex, rub their ves. hat the people do not rule wisely. Well, did Kings? | Was the first Charles wise when he asserted his | paramount prerogative, levied ship tax inland, pro- voked Hampton, conjured Cromwell from the mass | of the people, and by violation of the constitution { brought his head to the block and prepared for the end of his dynasty? Has the best of Princes even s in wisdom? Being men only, why should they? Being men only, why should it be de- manded that the people be always wise in their rule? Partaking of human weakness, the people err, but it | is their own error and they are its victims. When they | discover their mistake they correct it. Princes err on | | th | the side of their own power, their own selfishness, | | their cwn dynasty, and, like the first Charles and the | sixteenth Louis, they stand by their errors, refusing correction or amendment, because they are the bene- ficiaries and the people the victims. Free govern- ment has that advantage, then, that the people if they | | err hurt themselves. The wound is seli-inflicted, and | when felt can be seli-cured. Py | That this power has been put in the hands of the | \pecp]e in so many nations; to err, to be unwise, to ; make mistakes and correct them, is due solely to the { example of the United States, and that example was | | made - possible by what happened in Independence Hall six score and seven years ago. It will soon be a hundred years since Charles’ Carroll, the latest sur- vivor of the Declaration of Independence, died. The old document itself, called in its title “The Unani- | mous Declaration,” has faded away. Text and the signpatures are no longer legible. The venerable parchment is hidden away from the light in vaults of the State Department at Washington. beli that rang out liberty to the worid when the last | mame was signed is cracked and voiceless. But that | silent metal and that faded parchment were proper- | ties in the world's greatest drama. The bell rings | no more, but its triumphant tongue in 1776 cried to | the world a message that will never be silent. Wher- | ever man is enfranchised and the master of himself it tells the story of his happiness; and wherever he is in bonds in the keeping of a master, the thrall of | offered him an excuse for a fight, and accordingly he | a man like himseli, it sings the song of his hope. | The pigments on the old parchment have faded. The signatures in which the signers wrote their death warrant or their title to immortality, they knew i not which, have disappeared. But the mind of man | writes it over with the story of his emancipation or the expression of his hopes, and the mighty palimp. sest becomes the handwriting on the wall to the few Beishazzars that are left to curse the modern world. The deed done on this day we celebrate was mighty, and mighty were the men who wrought it. It gave us a birthright greater than men were born to | before that day. As it is great, let it be greatly guarded. There can be no liberty without law and no law without equality in its application. Unequal law is tyrfhny. Under our form of gov- { ernment the law, like the sunshine, the air and the rain, is for the equal enjoyment and protection of {ell. When one man, no matter how poor and hum- [ble. is denied by any force the rights that are his by |law, that denial is treason to all for which this_day | stands. e —— i Man, with hjs frequent cynicism toward female ap- | parel, trying in these dog days to look comiortable while wearing a cuff around his neck, now looks with envy at the purely nominal trimmings of the sum- mer girl and wishes he were likewise garbed. | K Italy and France has set European authori- ties to guessing what could have been the | diplomatic motive that prompted it. Among the | suggestions offered by way of explanation there are of course many relating to the British desire to get | possession of the Portuguese territory adjoining British South Africa: to the much discussed ar- rangement with France for the settlement of the Morocco question, and to arrangements with Italy in relation to her African interests. Such sugges- tions afford nothing new in the way of diplomatic speculation, and are of comparatively little interest, | but there remains one that has at any rate the ! charm of novelty. It is to the effect that the Brit- ish Government desires to make an important deal with Spain and has sought in Portugal, Italy and | France for support for the proposition. ' i The deal is nothing less than an exchange of the formidable and famous rock of Gibraltar for the isl- {and of Minorca. Whether such a project is really | under consideration by the British Ministry or not, | it has given rise to a considerable discussion in both {the British and the Continental press. The argu- ment is that Spain would be well pleased to ex- | change a small island which is of little value to her for a fortress whose possession by a foreign power has always been a source of irritation to Spanish pride and patriotism. On the other hand, Britain { would find Minorca so much more advantageous for TRADING GIBRALTAR. ING EDWARD'S tour through Portugal, Critics of this condition sometimes complain | the | The | control. The fact that such plans have been under | discussion between the two countries gives support to the new report of an exchange with Spain. The proposed deal would leave all of Morocco to France, restore Gibraltar to Spain, and at the same time give Britain the harbor she needs. It is therefore by no means improbable that it is actually under con- sideration by diplomatists as well as by the press. | And now we are told that “a telechirograph has | been invented, much superior to the telautograph, for | transmitting handwriting.” We have seen some | handwriting that couldn’t be made to go anywhere, | and if it will go peacefully over a thing with a name like that without fizzing, we welcome the tele-etc. asa blessing. that he would review the various aspirants V ' for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency and separate the sheep from the A FALLEN IDOL. HEN Bryan announced some months ago have the temerit$ to question his decision. upen the theory that those whom he commended would be glad to commend him in return, and that | those whom he disapproved would be so eager to harmonize the party they would not venture to fight back. For a time it looked as if the would-be auto- crat of his party was right in his reasoning. He went about commending here and denouncing there with ! great zeal and no one said him nay. Like all rash men, however, he has at last gone too far, and now he has a fight on his hands. | Not long ago it pleased Mr. Bryan to read ex- ’Govemor Lon V. Stephens of Missouri out of the | Democratic party because that gentleman expressed nated for the Presidency by the Democrats next year. Bryan objects to Francis, and accordingly he asserted that no man who supports Francis can train as a loyal Democrat. The statement was not pleasing to Missourians, for Francis is their State candidate, their favorite son and their expectant win- ner. Consequently when Bryan declared that no man who supports Francis is a good Democrat he got into trouble at once. Reports from Missouri are to the effect that Lon hens is little in peace, but large in a fight. e is known as “the wasp of Boonville” One au- thority says: “He is a featherweight in build, but a | catamount in a sudden scrap. He wears glasses, but }3 | he can see a lang way with them. He has got money b | to burn and a backbone to lean upon. His record as |2 Missouri Democrat of the honest, wool hat, last "di!ch order is unimpeachable.” Such a man of course { could not remain silent in the face of any man who | has gone for Bryan like a thousand wildcats. | It is significant that the attack of Stephens has | been greeted with favor, not only in the East, where | there has long been a desire for some Western man | to take a fall out of the domineering Platte River | man, but in the South, where Bryan has long had a following that would listen to no criticism of his onduct. action of his party, for the Atlanta Constitution in ;re\‘iewing the attack of Stephens says: “The excori- ation he handed out to Mr. Bryan need not be re- peated here. It was largely personal, but it is indica- | tive of the restive <pirit of many Democrats over the | attempts of Mr. Bryan to figure as the Sir Oracle of Ethe Democratic party. While Mr. Bryan has yet a host of friends and admirers in the party, men who would resent any injustice attempted upon him and his followers in 1806 and 1900, the fact grows more |‘apparent daily that the party at large does not feel | bound by any valid obligation to allow him the cen- sorship of its personnel and platform in the coming national campaign.” Whether Bryan has brains enough to profit by the lesson remains to be seen. It is clear, however, that | those issues of the Commoner that used to be looked upon as thunderbolts powerful enough to kill what- ever candidate they fell upon will now pass as some- counted as of no importance in the party campaign. —— President Roosevelt will flash the first message to , &80 completely around the world. The time in | transit will be four minutes, which is 360 times faster than the earth itself moves.

The manual gives the lists of officers and directors of cor- porations, and includes statements of many industrial concerns, including nu- | merous gas and electric light piants, tele- | graph and telephone companies, not | found in any other publication. | Among the contents of the work are: “The Choice of a Corporate Home," by Henry G.

It is issued by the Moody Publishing Company, 3 Nassau street, New York, I Professor Laughlin of the University of i Chicago, and Professor Willis of Wash- ington and Lee University, in setting out to write in collaboration a treatise on | “Reciprocity,” found themselves confront- ed at the start by a difficulty in getting a good definition of the term. After citing any given by various authorities, and | pointing out that none of them would { fully express what has been the Ameri- | can practice with respect to that phase | of our international relations, they were forced to resort to a history rather than a definition of the subject, and accord- ingly the first chapter of their book deals | with “the origin and nature of the reci- | procity idea.” In concluding the chapter, the writers say: “One who examines the reciprocity treaties now pending in the Senate will readily understand how. it has resulted that the reciprocity of to-day is no more tatéd upon no logical principles and sub- Ject only to the requirements of the nego- | tiator. We appear before the world in the ! light of one who seeks to drive as good bargains as possible with his fellows, but who strips these bargains even of any semblance @f equity they might other- wise have, by concluding other bargains at a later date, which destroy, or at any rate may destroy, the advantage accru- ing from the earlier ones.” The scope of the work includes a com- plete detailed history of our various at- tempts at reciprocity treawes with differ- ent nations. The various chapters a “Reciprocity with Canada"; *“Reciprocity with Hawail; “Réciprocity and Tariff Controversy in the United -States 1590- 1900 “Reciprocity and the McKinley “Operation of the McKinley Act”; ““The Abandonment of Reciprocity”: “Th Dingley Act”; “The Kasson Treatles “The Struggle for Reciprocity with Cuba"; “The Present and Future of Re- ciprocity.” The conclusion of the authors on the | whole subject is thus stated: “Indications are not wanting that the ultimate result of the tariff discussion, which within the | past two years has taken on a new lease | of life, will be thorough revision. For | twenty years the pendulum of public ;oplnlon has swung back and forth from reciprocity to tariff reform. Disappointed in the one it has turned to the other. Yet it never succeeded in getting a defin- ite trial of reciprocity until the passage of the Dingley act. Under that instru- ment the futility of reciprocity efforts has apparently been shown with greatest con- clusiveness. It is time for a revulsion of public opinion, and that revulsion | seems now well under way." There wiil be no question in the mind of | an impartial reader of this work that re- | ciprocity as a means of regulating either stem or our international re- factory. The work is worth studying as a matter of history or as a matter of pol- itics, and merits a wide reading. “Reciprocity,” by J. Laurence Laughlin and H, Parker Willis.
