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
'sdi
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 sooial problems. To the
columns of the Commoner Mr. Bryan
contributes his best 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 year. We have arrang
ed with Mr. Bryan whereby we can fur
nish his paper and Home Journal to-
, gether for ons year for $1.90. The reg
ular subscription price of the two pa
pers when suberibed for- separately is
$2.50.

There seems' to exist a regular
trust of burglars operating under a
new and rather perfect system. The
method of their operations, as exem
plified in their raids upon country
banks and post-offices, is such as to
indicate a controlling board holding
its agents under strict discipline and
having in view, not a big haul at one
time, but many little hauls in order
to protect the dividend sheet. These
road agents, with valises containing
drills, dynamite and dark lanterns,
Qhoose postoffices in villages where
there may be only one night officer
who is not aocustomed to disturb
ance, and proceed to tap the till of
the postmaster’s cabinet, being sat
isfied if they gain only a few hun
dred dollars. When it comes to at
tacking a bank vault, which they
proceed to rend with a charge of
explosive, they are equally content
if they only secure a few thousand.
Now and then one of them is killed,
but as a rule they get away with the
swag. The municipal authorities of
small communities do not like to
spend much money for police pro
tection. There are many cities of
several thousand inhabitants in this
and other states where people leave
their homes and stores throughout
the long watches of the night to the
protection of only one or two offi
cers. The burglar syndicate, study
ing the situation and finding that
some particular small town has not
had a burglary experience in many
years, orders its agents to raid a
bank or postoffice in that particular
town, depending upon the fact that
the community has been lulled to a
seuse of safety. The plan, as the
daily reports in the Telegraph show,
works very well. The campaign is
especially devoted to the southern
and western agricultural regions
where bank and postoffice safes are
placed in buildings easily entered.
The syndicate is securing a very
large dividend upon its investment
undoubtedly. And that there is
such a syndicate we are bound to
believe from the similarity of meth
od adopted in each oase of robbery.
No member«of congress is so suc
cessful in keeping his views out of
the papers as Senator Allison of
Iowa. His dexterity in this matter
has earned for him the nickname of
“Pussy Foot.” Some time ago he
dictated to his secretary a reply to
a letter asking for his opinion on a
certain matter. When he had con
cluded the Senator asked his secre
tary what he thought of the answer.
“Well, Senator,” said the secretary,
“to be candid with you, I can’t
make out just what you do mean.”
“That’s it, that’s it,” said the Sena
tor approvingly. ‘ I don’t want him
to know, either.” 1
Prof. Wetz of Freiburg university
declared in a recent speech that
Americans have better university
equipment than Germans. The fore
most American universities, he point
ed out,are now better equipped than
the German universities for compre
hensive training, as the munificent
gifts from private individuals for li
braries, museums, laboratories and
professorships supply the American,
professors with facilities for instruc
tion superior to those of their Ger
man colleagues. Therefore Germa
ny is in danger of being surpassed
by the United States in intellectual
development.
The Crown Prince of Germany is
going to dazzle the Russians with
his display of clothes and swords.
His father required the Prince to
carry, it is said, ten different kinds
of uniforms, sixteen suits of citi
zen’s clothes, ten different swords
and sixteen kinds of headgear. In
his baggage was a jeweler’s stock of
watches, scarf-pins and trinkets to
be given to those with whom he
comes in contact at the Russian
court.
Escaped au Awful Fate,
Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne,
Fla., writes, “My doctor told me
I had consumption and nothing
could be done for me. I was given
up to die. The offer of a free trial
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption, induced me
to try it. Results were startling.
I am now on the road to recovery
and owe all to Dr. King’s New
Discovery. It surely saved my
life.’’ This great cure is guaran
teed for all throat and lung dis
eases. Price 50c and $1. Trial bot

Atlanta Constitution.
A good demand is coming from
abroad for American breadstuff's,
and the problem is to get cars
enough to roll the grain to the sea
board. The freight congestion on
western railroads is seriously affect
ing the export trade, especially in
corn. \
The exports of wheat and corn
from the port of New York have
been in the neighborhood of 7,000,-
000 bushels up to date (January 26)
during the present month. This
gratifying activity has not resulted
from a “beared” grain market, but
from insufficient foreign stocks,
causing the buyers on the other side
to relax their assumption of inde
pendence very perceptibly. It is al
so stated that the wet weather in
the Argentine has had a good effect
on American market conditions.
The New York Journal of Com
merce says there has been a very ac
tive demand for export oorn, but ex
porters have had no end of trouble
in filling orders, sustaining no little
loss because shipments have not
come forward within contraot time,
in consequence forcing them in self
protection to go into the market
again and fill their contracts as best
they might, often at an advanced
figure.
When the car shortage and laok
of motive power is remedied, as it iq'
hoped will soon result from the rail
roads’ efforts in that direction, the
movement from the west to the At
lantic seaboard will be something
unprecedented, it is predicted.
Another factor in th6 exporter’s
favor is the low oceen rates obtained
from the tramp steamers which are
heavily loaded at profitable freight
rates coming across from Europe.
They can well afford to make a low
grain transportation rate back. ^
On the \yhole, the year opens with
promise for agricultural exports, and
a bumper year record is hoped for.

Sumter to Have a Great,Orchard.
Amerieus, Ga., Jan. 27.—There
will soon blossom in the suburbs of
Amerious the largest individual
peach orchard in Georgia, if not in
the United States. Capt. H. C.
Bagley of Atlanta, Judge George F.
Gober, N. A. Ray and others have
organized the Bagley-Gober Or
chard Company and will begin irn-
di
mediately the planting of half a
million peach trees here. The com
pany is capitalized at $100,000, one-
fourth of which has actually been
paid in. Three thousand acres of
magnificent level red land, compris
ing the Bagley, Ray and Livingston
plantations, is already owned by the
company, and is pronounced by ex
perts highly adapted to fruit cul
ture. Two lines of railroad traverse
this splendid tract, and the new
town of Bagley will be established
with all facilities for handling fruit
shipments, including a large refrig
erating plant. Judge Gober, al
ready one of the moat successful
fruit growers of Georgia, inspected
the lands recently to his entire sat
isfaction. Already the company has
placed orders for half a million trees
and let contracts for planting. This
mammoth orchard will be within
two miles of Amerieus on the Cen
tral of Georgia railway. Its estab
lishment is expected to give a great
impetus to peach culture in this im
mediate section, than which there is
none finer anywhere for peach rais
ing, and other big orchards will in
time be planted.
