THE COMMONER,
(Mr. Bryan’s Paper.)
The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue a
circulation of 100,000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history,of
American periodical literature. The
unparalleled* growth of this paper de
monstrates that there is room in the
newspaper fields for a national paper de
voted to the discussion of political,
economic, and social problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr. Bryan
contributes his begt efforts ;and his views
of political events as they arise from
time to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner’s regular subeription
price is $1.00 per yetr. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Home Journal to
gether for onft year for $1.90. The reg
ular subscription price of the two pa
pers when suberibed for separately is
$2.50.

Church Record for 1902.
. " '
The year 1902 seems to have
been a good year for the churches.
The contributions, donations,
benefactions and collections for
church purposes were unusually
large and there has been a general
enlargement and strengthening of
church work both at home and
abroad. These figures from the
Chicago Iuter Ocean: “The
maintenance of the thousands of
churches in the United States cost
last- year $260,000,000. Of this
amount the Baptists paid $14,-
138.000, the Episcopal churches^
$15,184,000, the Congregationa.1-
ists $10,276,000, The Presbyte
rians of the North expended in the
maintenance of churches and for
church activities $17\080,000, the
Methodists, North and South,
$24,552,000. All this was in ad
dition to the completion of, the
twentieth century funds, aggre
gating in America and England
$40,000,000. The American Meth
odists secured $21,000,000 of this
amount,^of which $9,000,000 goes
to pay church debts, $7,000,000 to
church collegesjant J-3eminarie8,aud
the balance to aged ininisters and
philanthropies. The Presbyteri
ans of the North raised $7,500,000,
the'Canadian Presbyterians $1,-
500.000, the British Wesleyans
$4,500,000, the British Congrega-
tionalista $3,550,000,and the Brit
ish Baptists $1,250,000. There
was pteady but not remarkable
growth in church membership
during the year. There is no
change in the estimate of mem
bership of the Catholic Church in
fifty dioceses. The Presbyterians
of all branches report an increase
in membership of 82,000, Meth
odists 61,000, Baptis s 86,000,
Episcopalians 14,000, ’Congrega-
tionilists 12,000 andJDesciples of
Christ, 80,500. Reports from
the several churches indicate that
the year 1902 was nob ouly an ac
tive one in church work, but in
the extention cf religious influ
ence. The year saw no weaken
ing of denominational pride or
spirit, but there was more co-op
eration between the sects in phil
anthropic and educational work.”

Fate was Kind to the Deacon.
“Bredreu,” said Deacon Snow
ball at the experience meeting, ac
cording to theN. Y. Mail and Ex
press, “I cum mouty neah back-
slidin’ las’ night. De temtah cum
ter me In’ put er wheat sack in mer
ban’ and led mer sinful feet to’d
Mistah Johnsing’s tuhkey coop.”
“Amen 1” moaned some one inja
back seat.
.“I done tried mer bes’ ter re
sist,” went on the deacon, “but
all de time mah conscience say
stop, do temtah say ‘go on,’ en so
I kep a gittin’ ciosah an’ a gittln’
closah all de time.”
•‘Glory I” came from the back
seats.
“But, praise de Lawd, jus’ when
I wuz gwineter clime de fence an’
mailc fer de coop, mah ole houn’
dorg tree er ’possum in Mistah
Johnsing’s wood lot an’ do back
slide lef’ me dat minnit.”
“Ahnen 1” roared a brother in
ths rear.
“An’ ’fore I git up dat tree,”
continued the deacon, “de moon
cum out fum behin’ de clouds, au’
dar stood Mistah Johnsing behin’
dat coop wid er big shotgun in liia
hail’.”
“Um-m-um, Lawdl from the
elders’ corner.
“An’ I call ter Mistah Johnsing
an’ ast him, ‘please sah, won’t you
cum an’ shoot dat ’posoum?’ an’
dat he do; an’ I want ter say dat
dere wuzer mos’ powerful big lode
er shot in dat gun.”
“Go on, bruddahl”
“An’ dat’s why I say dat w’en
de temtah cum ter us an’sho us
us whar dere’s a tuhky coop, we
orter rej’ice dat Provdence dun
gib er houn, dawg an’ er ’possum
appertite ter de po’r black man.”

Great Britain and the Monroe Doc
trine.
New York World ' '
How greatly changed within a
single generation is thq British
View of the Monroe doctrine if
shown by the vigorous words with
which Lord Charles Beresford, in
conversation with a reporter in
London,-refers to'the Venezuelan'
incident:
It has taught our Government
a lesson—that it must never try
its hand again at such a game
without the partnership of the
United States. I do hot say a
word against Germany. But i do
think it to England’s advantage
to come right out and nob only
say “we support the Monroe doc
trine,” but “by heavens, we are
willing to fight fbr itl”
Admiral Beresford is a typical
British aristocrat, a typical fight
ing sailor, a typical tory, a popu
lar idoj. He represents dominant
British public opinion -just as
during Maximilian’s ill-fated at
tempt upon Mexico the London
Times represented British opin
ion in expressing the hope that
Napoleon III. would puncture the
Monroe doctrine for all time.
This surprising change results
from a better understanding —
1. That the doctrine is histori
cally of British sanction, with
Monroe and Canning as joint au
thors.
2. That in case of a general
war it safeguards Cauada from at
tack by any European power.
8. That it is the security of
British trade in South American
countries, such as Brazil, where
rapid immigration might without
it lead to annexation by Europe
an countries and differential tar
iffs.
From the wish to see the Mon
roe doctrine smashed to the will
ingness to fight for it is indeed a
striking change for John Bull.
Old Maids and Climate.
Of course, an unmarried woman
is always a disappointment to
herself, but the way she takes it
is the difference between the old
maids and bachelor girls, says
Harper’s Bazar. The unenlight
ened frequently rhake the mistake
of thinking that lack of opportu
nity is responsible for the exist
ence of single women, but I lay
most of it to climate. The New
England climate is not conducive
to matrimony or even love mak
ing. And even after the crucial
moment has passed and the sin
gle woman has drifted from girl
hood to spiiisterhood, a cold cli
mate, raw wiuds, chili rains and
snow tend to increase the loneli
ness of it. There may be old
maids in the south, but I never
heard of them being called by
that name. I have known some
single women, school teachers,
anywhere from seventeen to fif
ty, and some of their grown boy
pupils were eternally and peren
nially in love with them. 'A sin
gle woman who has made up her
mind not to marry has a hard
time to keep her resolution in the
south, for she is always assailed
to break it. The very climate
breathes love. Ah, there it is 1
As I said, old maids are surely a
matter of climate.
