Mount Airy, the famous Calvert es tate near Washington, founded by the first Lord Baltimore and held by the family for more than 200 years, has just passed into alien hands. The estate of 800 acres has been purchas ed by Mrs. Frances Gibson of Ohio for $11,000. Among the bidders for the property was Secretary Hay. A singular Malady.. Death has at last claimed the vic tim of a singular disease. Nine years ago David Yetter, of Oakwood, Mich., was assailed with rheumatism of a form that attacked the joints. Pro gressive osification marked the case, the entire body being stiffened with the disease. The victim was at length unable to masticate food and relied on liquid nourishment. Then the jaws stiffened so that he could no longer open his mouth. A front tooth was extracted and through the opening thus provided was given the nourishment that added longer lease of a life that even under such condi tions was preferable to death. When this came at last Yetter's body had the hardness of stone. Mrs. Campbell's Sarcasm. During her engagement in San Francisco, Mrs. Patrick Campbell was taken for a trip around the bay. Among the party was a young man of the all pervading kind, whose atten tions to the noted actress were more lavish than welcome. As the party stood gazing on the city the young man said: "Do you see that house up there, Mrs. Campbell?" describing the location." "Yes," S2id the patient guest. "I was born there," remarked the numerous one. He paused for a reply, and this was what he heard: "What a pity." The young man man aged to efface himself.

Hill recently appeared be- fore the Nw York court of appeals in opposition to the franchise tax law of that stale. In 1 's arraignment of that law, Mr. Hill said that its pass age was uv.e to "the clamor of certain minor organizations, semi-political and largely socialistic in their character,' self-constituted, irresponsible and noisy associations, mostly non-taxpayers." and that the "serious consideration, much less the passage," of the Ford bill "had not been regarded by thoughtful men as imminent." The New York World, a publication that has insisted that the Hill brand of democracy is the genuine, says that it "feels it to be a duty to correct so glaring a misstatement." The World insists that the bill was subjected to a thorough discussion. One petition for the passage of this bill, according to the World, was signed by 12.000 tax payers or rent-payers in New York alone, that petition contained 20,000 names, representing every large city In the state. The measure, according to the World, had the indorsement of the organizations of real estate owners and dealers; and laboring organiza tions with a membership of 350.000 adopted resolutions in its favor. A special train went to Albany to urge Mr. Roosevelt, then governor of New- York, to release the bill from the "hold up" in Mr. Piatt's assembly commit tee and on this train there' were dele gates from fourteen commercial, finan cial and other public bodies having a membership of 110,000 and represent ing SS0.O00.000 of capital. The World says that every newspaper of stand ing in New York favored the bill; that i thad the indorsement of every republican county committee in the state together with the leaders of Tammany Hall, and of the sixty-three democratic assemblymen. The World further points out that when Gov ernor Odell recently sought to se cure the repeal of this law, pub lic opinion was so strongly in its favor that the governor abandoned his purpose. Then with an utter disregard for its boasted anxiety for harmony the World adds: "Mr. Hill's sneer at socialism comes with peculiar grace from the politician who last year thrust into the demo cratic state platform a plank favoring national ownership and operation of the anthracite mines! the most radi cal socialistic measure ever proposed in this country. And his course now in denouncing a moderate franchise tax on corporations that reap a goldm har vest from public privileges virtually rriver. to them is of a Mece with his vou as a sma'tr who bo.i?toi "I am a democrat igainst the only tariff bill 1-asfced by 'lis party since th? war, sole ly because it contained a tax on in coiues the most just and easily borne of all taxes." It is too bad that the disciples of "harmony" can not provide the be knighted democrats of the south and of the west with a better sample than they are now presenting; and yet by its severe criticism of Mr. Hill, the World confesses that it is the duty of newspapers, as well as individuals, to disregard all other considerations in standing up for the things they believe to be of utmost importance to the The imperialist who can detect a similarity between the acquisition of the Louisiana purchase and the acqui sition or the fnuippine isianas is eaually capable of detecting the simi- laHtv between truth and falsehood. If It were proposed to annex the Philip pine islands under the same terms and conditions assumed in the annexation of the Louisiana purchase" the repub lican leaders would be the first ones to object. Those thrifty gentlemen in the postal department doubtless will indorse the "speak softly" portion of the presi dent's advice. The mere statement of the fact that hundreds are still suffering from the effects of the recent floods in the west i .d south should be sufficient to bring tiiem relief from the people of the more favored sections of the country. A prominent trust magnate says this labor agitation must stop or prosperity will be threatened. Has he ever thought of giving labor a square deal as one method of trying to end the agitation? Organize democratic clubs and prepared for the battle of 1904! be mm V Very Mucli Scandalized Elephant. Comment. j people. And it is also significant that .according to the testimony of one of ( the leading organs of the re-organiz- trs, Mr. Hill is engaged in a desperate effort to des-troy a law which is cham pioned by the people of his state, re gardless of politics, and which merely requires in behalf of the people simple justice at the hands of powerful cor porations. In the light of these fects, and in the light of other facts that have developed day by day. is it not strange that any democrat who does not desire that his party shall become the mere tool of powerful and selfish interests should be oersuaded to aid in the effort to restore such man tr control in the party? THE FINANCIAL SCHEME. A Mexican reader of The Commoner asks whether the United States is on a gold standard. Our monetary system can hardly be called a complete gold standard, because while silver is not admitted to coinage on equal terms with gold (as it would be under bi metallism), still, we have some $600, 000.000 of silver which is a full legal tender except where contracted against, and so long as this silver is standard money and helps to support the credit money of the country the rigors of the gold standard are less felt. Eng land has the gold standard complete. Gold is the only full legal tender, sil ver be sibsidiary coin. There is no doubt that the advocates of the gold standard contemplate, first, the mak ing of the silver dollar redeemable in geld; second, the withdrawal of full legal tender privileges from silver, and. third, the retirement of standard sil ver, but so far they have not dared to carry their theories to their legiti mate ' conclusion. When the gold standard is fully rounded out gold will be the only legal tender and bank notes the only paper. Then the finan ciers cf the world will control our paper money. And the people? Well, they will have nothing to do except work and make money for the finan ciers. A New York reader of The Com moner makes an Inquiry. He reports that he is a market gardner and cov ered some plants with one of the New York papers. In the morning he found the plants dead. It was discovered that Cleveland's picture was printed in that issue of the paper and the question is whether the blight was caused by the picture or by the acid in the printing ink. The matter is receiving serious consideration in that section and it ought to be thoroughly investigated be fore the reorganizers attempt to force Mr. Cleveland's nomination upon the party. It has long been known that Mr. Cleveland's policies were injurious to agriculture, but this is the first in timation that even his picture had a deleterious effect. Now Whitelaw Reid is saying some harsh things about "high society." Is it possible that society has been say ing mean things about Mr. Reid's knickies? Of course Mr. Hanna fondly hopes that Tom Johnson will heed the wail ing cry of "Hands off." Mr. Hanna is still nursing a varied assortment of bumps .and bruises. Would any defender of the adminis tration's Philippine policy be willing to adopt for the Philippines the same conditions made when the Louisiana territory was acquired? Think of it! The men who sup ported Mr. McKinley- or the Palmer arM Buckner movement are question ing Mr. Bryan's democracy! Mr. Hanna loses no opportunity to rejoice over what he calls Mr. Roose velt's devotion to Mr. McKinley's poli cies. Mr. Hanna's idea of devotion seems to be in need of extensive re pairs. The trouble with the Ohio republican platform plank concerning the tariff is that It means what the trust mag nates wish and only appears to mean what the consumers thinkit means. The dollar's worth of commerce that costs five dollars' worth of powder is profitable only to the powder manufac turers. That Venezuelan revolution seems to have suddenly reached a Cleveland boom-finish. Fut none :ut democrats on guard! By courtly of Th- Con)mrnT Some of the country banks are be ginning to get scared about the plans of the big banks, and it Is well they are. It would have been better still had they been scared some time ago. If the small bankers assist the large bankers to establish a financial policy which is purely for the interest of bankers, they will find that such a policy once established will be still further extended, so as to put the little financiers in the hands of the big ones. The only safe course for the small bankers to pursue is to stand with their customers the depositors and borrowers. They will thus find protection for themselves in the pro tection that they give to the public generally. A reader of The Commoner asks whether there is a law requiring that all ships, guns and ammunition for use in the United States army and navy should be of domestic material and manufacture. The inquiry was sub mitted to the navy department and in formation received that "the acts of congress making appropriation for new ships for the navy explicitly require that they shall be of domestic manu facture. This is construed to mean not only the hull and machinery, but also the armor, guns, ammunition, etc. The department adds that the law has been studiously adhered to. Before dwelling too long upon Rus sian cruelty in permitting massacres like that at Kishineff. let us recall cer tain happenings in our own country at New Orleans, at Rock Springs, at Spring Valley and in the coal fields of Pennsylvania. The Chinese have a proverb running thus: "Sweep before your own door and bother not your head about the frost on your neigh bor's tiles." There is considerable frost on the Russian tiles, but we have quite a bit of rubbish at our nation's door that needs some attention. A reader of The Commoner calls at tention to Marshall Field's complaint in regard to "the lax enforcement of the law," and asks whether Mr. Field is as anxious to have the criminal law enforced against trusts as he is to havt it enforced against a laboring man The difference between the republicans and the democrats 'is that the former are very anxious to have the law en forced against small criminals, while the democrats insist that it ought to be enforced against big criminals and lit tle ones alike. The Honolulu Bulletin is disposed to think that tne territorial govern ment is partial to some of the politi cians in its administration. This is not strange. If at home we find men lin ing their own pockets out of govern ment contracts, what can we expect in remote islands where human nature is as frail and wnere detection is not so easy? There are American citizens in Honolulu who are quick to protest against wrong-doing, but the trouble is that the people here in the United States do not feel that they are imme diately injured. Mr. Babcock, erstwhile tariff reform er, has at last succeeded in making his forgettery envelop his recent appear- i ance as an advocate of tariff revision. As the days go by the people realize more and more the necessity of some one like Joseph W. Folk to push the investigation into the postal frauds. "Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts!" Organize a democratic club in your precinct for the preservation and propagation of democratic principles. Mr. Chamberlain will have to try some other argument than the old one to the effect that "the foreigner pays the tax." The British voters know better. The Ohio republican convention "pointed with pride" to several things, but not to the report of the Ohio sen ate investigating committee in regard to the methods by which one of the Ohio senators secured his seat. The - fact that the old Liberty Bell is cracked is not the only reason why it is not sent to the Philippine islands. The Brooklyn Eagle should read Mr. Cleveland's fishing article and try a new kind of reorganization bait. The public shows a disposition to open some oi postmaster ueneral Payne's "closed incidents" with a crow bar. If the "Hands off" slogan fails to work, Mr. Hanna might suggest the "full La by cab" crv II I I 1 I I II I I I I I I i I I II II I If THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.

CHINESE DO NOT LIKE IT. Object to Regulation Regarding Visit ors to World's Fair. PEKIN The United States treasury regulating regarding the Chinese vis itors to the St. Louis exposition are bitterly criticised in the native press and it is believed will demoralize Chi na's efforts to take creditable part In the exposition. The most objection able points in the eyes of the natives are the $300 bond, the photographic identification, police supervision of the visiting Chinese, and the expulsion from America of the Chinese work men and assistants when the fair closes. The press points out that the Chinese visitors will be no better than prisoners throughout their stay. The official newspaper of Chi Li province, whose utterances are understood to b directed by Yuan Shi Ki, the governor of the province, taunts America with hypocritical pretense of friendly Inter course, and says the politeness with which what is called the most just nation on earth treats its guests is a warning to Chinese and others con templating visiting St. Louis.

Supper Bean soup, cold corned beef, potatoes, bread and coffee. This was varied from day to day in the way of bacon, ham, fresh beef, canned beef, peas, onions and other vegetables. Tho regulars were better fed at 17 cents per day than the militia at CO cents. The Oldest Public Building.
