Is Life Worth Living?

Chauncey Depew is to Jmarry a lady who speaks four tongues. Well, he has no one to blame but himself. The Ohio Democrats are pondering how to keep Byran out of their state campaign without affronting him. They can’t. Does it ever occur to a farmer with a large crop of potatoes that in accepting the advanced price for them, he is truly a monopolist as any trust in the country ? A Michigan poet has been arrested in Poland for writing poetry distasteful to the Russian Government. He has the consolation of knowing that his poetry is read by some one. If Bulgaria is really looking for trouble in connection with the Stone kidnapping, she can be accommodated. She probably forgot that Roosevelt was president and that he has a strenuous way of acting in emergencies. The War Department has at last decided to whom the credit of winning Chickamuaga and Chattanooga was due. May we hope that in another thirty-eight years, the Navy Department will decide who won the battle of Santiago. If the authorites carry out their expressed intention of suppressing all future news concerning Czolgosz ex cept the bare fact of his execution, they will win the approbation of everybody except the anarchists and the yellow journals. The Archbishop of York, one of the two great primates of England, has appointed a day of humiliation and prayers for the British reverses in South Africa and for the national sins. John Bull must be feeling rather badly these days. In case Mr. Roosevelt’s name does not appear on the subscription list of the Commoner, we trust that Mr. Bryan sent him a marked copy containining his recent advice. Otherwise Mr. Roosevelt may have missed seeing it—which would be terrible. The Democrats have been pointing to an alleged boom in the ship build ing to prove the needlessness of the subsidy bill, but a report from the Comissioner of Navigation shows that there was a decrease in\onnage built during the last three months of 20,000 tons as compared yith the corresponding ones of last year. Nearly all of our shipbuilding, anyway, is of vessels for the coasting traffic which is exclusively reserved by the constitution to American citizens.

WHAT is the matter with Venezue-' lan dollars? They are now worth only four cents. Can Venezuela also have had a “crime of’73’’ When Bryan goes to Ohio to soeak this fall, he will have to be careful not to encounter the Democratic platform —or one of the two mustgetdamuged. We don’t know which to admire most; the n rve of the space writer, who got up that fake about the war in South America being totally imaginary, or the confiding faith of the European editors who bought it and wrote long editorials about it. If the published sketch Of the new Canal treaty proves to be accurate, Secretary Hay will have realized his ambition to carry through the negotiations leading up to the construction of the great work. The treaty will undoubtedly satisfy everybody on this side of the water.
