The Chattanooga News thought it gave
a new turn to an old joke, when it as a
democratic paper, admitted that four
months after the inauguration of Bryan
every rmtional bank in the country would
close its doors. The next day it ex
plained that the national banks would
clone their doors on the 4th of July The
Bryan organ it badly mixed on this as it
it on some of its financial statements.
To begin with national banks don't open
their doors on the 4th of July, and bad
it followed the speeches of its presiden

Another cost that, under the HI 'a I
policy of the United States ia certain to
grow to stupendous proportions, ia that
of the pension roll. So great hat been
the fear lest one worthy fail of getting
hit due that the rolls growing out of the
rebellion are cumbered with the names
of pretenders, bogus widows, sutlers,
even deeerters. These truths may be
stated without in any manner reflecting
upon the genuine old soldier or liegrudg

The pension rolls of the United Stales
have swollen enormously, and were
supposed to have reached a climax, but
the war with Spain, the ensuing turmoil
in the Philippines, and now'the hostili
ties in Cbina, give promise of keeping it
up to iU highest etandard. From July
1, 1805, to June 30th of the present year,
there was paid out on account of pen
sions f i.tjOO.OOO.OOO. During the twelve
years of the Grant and Hays adrmnis-
trations the total was 375,000,000. while
during the three years tinder McKinley
the total has been $42,1 l.OC). In view
of this, the occasional protest that the
old soldier is not getting fair treatment
is difficult to underHtand,

One of the pleas which the op,Knenta
of McKinley, who also opose the doc
trinea U Iiryanisrn with regard to the
currency and social order, are fond of
using to excuse their willingness to ac
cept liryan, it that the currency ineue is
settled by the act of March 14, 1900, and
that the election of Bryan could not do
much toward reversing that settlement
The plea seems to us very dangerous, anil
we do not see how practical anil sensible
men of affairs can possibly be content
with it.
In the first place, it may be taken for
granted that the election of liryan would
carry with it the election of a niojority of
liryanitea in the House of Iteprerw-nta
tivet. The margin there at present it I

in the Congressional election of 1898, 'ih
teats were lost by the Republicans in
states overwhelming anti-B.yanit. in

that could carry liryan into the presiden
cy would inevitably destroy the slight
advantage now possessed by the oppo
nent! in the House.
We shall be told, however, that the
Senate cannot be changed, at earliest,
bfore 1903. Even if that were true there
would be rather scant comfort in the
p-ospect of a delay of only two yean.
It would be too much like the mercy
shown in cutting the dog's tail off by
inches. But it it not even true that the
Senate could not be changed at the same
time at the House by a revulsion of pop
ular opinion strong enough to elect
liryan. (Senators from the following
named states go out next March. All of
these Senators are either Republicans or
