The Philadelphia Times is booming
Grant again for President. 1t says:
''The predictions made in these col
umns as to Grants availability in De.
cember last, are fully vindlcstel now
The third term prejudice perished as
soon as Grant retired from the political
field, and abandoned all effort to climb
to that exceptional honor And as the
prejndices of the desperate contest of
1880 are effaced, Grant grows stronger
and greater as central figure in Anne
rlcan politics; aud there are now thous
ands turning to him as a refuge from
the wrangles of small men, who reso-
lutely resisted the machine third term
crusade of 1880.
Grants chief strength as candidate
is like Blaiue's-in not being, or in not
appearing to be, candidate. He has
quietly pursued his business and pleas
ure, and his brief utterances at times,
have proved that retirement has mel
lowed his resentments and greatly
broadened him as philosopher and a
statesman. From being the distinct
representative Of a distrusted faction,
as ne was four years ago, he Is now
singularly free from entanglements
and, if returned to the Presidency,
would enter it more independent in sur
roundings and purpose than could any
OF the other candidates"

Worse than the River and Harbor Steal

worse tnan the River and harb0r Steal.
The combination in the House of
Representatives to pass multitude OF
bills for public buildings was power
full enough to suspend the rules, and
thus TO get hearing for jobs which,
had they been presented Individually,
would have died of inanition on the
calendar.
The bills thus far reported favorably
in the House, and those which have
already passed the Senate and are now
on the Speakers table, concern thirty
two States. Some of these States get
as many as four buildings. That mum.
Der represents Pennsyvania's share.
Texas is allowed three, New York
two, Illinois two, Iowa two, Indiana
two and Maine two. The other States
in the Ring are content with one build
ing apiece.
The bills of the House appropriate
in the aggregate, S6,06S,000. Those
of the Senate appropriate S2.S71, 900.
There are several duplicates among the
bills if allowance is made for these,
the total amount involved in the steal is
about $S,000,000.
But as has been the history of the
River and Harbor bills. they bad at
least pretext for legislation in the
estimates and reports from the Engi-
ner Bureau. Those estimates were
prepared at the instance of members
eff Congress interested in the Jobs, and
of course were the basis of the demand
for appropriations. But in the case of
these public building bills there is not
even the form of a preliminary inquiry,
and no sanction of the Executive De-
partment to rest upon. The scheme is
plainly one of general plumber, suggest
ed by the existence of huge surplus
in the Treasury.
Representatives from the thirty-two
States compare notes and agree among
themselves upon a partition of the
spoils. Democrats and Republicans
go in alike for plunder. They vote
solidly, and argument has no effect
upon their convictions. The leader
stands ready to move the previous
question at a given signal. and the ap-
preparation passes without even a
record of the yeas and nays. The men,
bers individually cannot be held Co &C.
count by their constituents.
This sort of logrolling has always
brought discredit on those who have
engaged in it. The present case will
be no exception to the rule. The Dem,
ocrats concerned in the raid ought to
be ashamed of themselves. s.-N Y.

From the Lancaster Intelllgencer.
The old home of Judge Black, near
York, Pa, is kept just he left it. In
the library even the lead pencils with
which he was accustomed to write with
his left hand lie on the table, Just as he
laid them down, no change being made
in the furniture, except that a picture
of the Judge has been put on the wall
and bust, as yet only in plaster, has
been placed on temporary pedestal.
The last book be looked into was Cur
tis' "Life of Buchanan" and the rough
edges of the leaves, which he tore
apart by running his thumb through
them-for he never would use q paper
cutter-show how much he had read.
He had not opened that part which
related to himself at all. The chapter
which he had hastily torn open was
that headed death Of Mr. Buchanan;
His Character as a Statesman, Man
and a Christian"

The Republican party asks to bo
kept in power, because it is the party
OF great moral ideas, the party that
protects American industries, the party
OF progress and humanity. Tue Dem
ocratic parry proposes to turn their op-
ponents out because under the admin
istrations OF the past twenty years the
republican party has trodden down the
principles of civil service reform, has
fostered such frauds as the Credit
Mobilier, the Star route robberies,
the Belkuap post traderships has
stolen the Presidency through the cor
ruption of partisan tribunal, and has
constantly legislated in the interest of
monopoies and against the laboring
classes. The people want change.

II has recently been proposed 10

As TO the debts reached In sou ndIng

bottom at 1850 faihoms q short dis
tance south OF the banks Of Newfound-

monty exaggerated. PeopIe used TO
think thatl IL ranged from 1000 10 5000
fathoms. The average depth is $500
fathoms In both the Atlantic and the
Pacific.
At meeting In Berlin Of the Med
Ical PedagogIc Society, IL was stated
that the percentage OF short-sIghted
chIldrea ia the country and In towns
was as three 10 thirty. The excess
In towns was attributed ln part 10 the
wearing Of spectacles from vanity.
The unnecessary use Of glasses had
been found 10 produce short-slghted-

In old times the guests at an Egyp-
tisn feast, when they grew hilarious,
we're called back to their soter proprie-

Francis Bernier says that in France,
10 1904, at an eclipse of the sun, some
bought drugs against the eclipse, others
kept themselves close in the dark in
their caves and their well closed cham
bers, others cast themselves in great
multitudes in the churches those ap-
pretending some mslign and dangerous
influence, and these believing they
were come to the last day, land that the
eclipse would shake the foundations of
nature.
The Earl of Athol who was executed
for the murder Of James I. of Scotland,

It has been generally supposed that
the burial of Sir John Moore, who fell
at the battle of Coranna in 1909, took
place during the night, an error which
doubtless arose from the statement to
that effect in VOLTS celebrated lines
beginning, "Nnt drum was heard nor
q funeral note" The Rev Mr.. Symons,
Who was the officiating clergyman on
the occasion, states, however, that the
burial took place in the morning in
broad daylight.

Corded silks are slowly but surely re-
gaining their Llace as favorites, and,
combined with brooadc, they form some
Of the most elegant costumes.
New walstcoats are made Of strips Of
velvet and cloth cut in points on the
edge, and set ~ as to overlap each
other.
Dragon fiies Ia geld and color are the
6gures on some Of the new brocade vel-
vets.

Bent and twisted hat brims reappear
this Autumn, although they by no
means rule the fashion. They look pret-

wraps.
The designs Of some Of the new stoe
embroideries are taken from the repre-
sentations Of Gothic windows ia cid
missals. The stee. Is Of many colorS
and the design ialssrried out to the

White muslin tidiesi with pictures
worked in outline stitch are very pref

satin with horizontal stripes.

Charity balls closed tho seas9n at the

tiny flowers.
The newest andiprettiess Of brides

Sparrows are among the birds which

A small puffed shoulder piece, crossed
BY Cords Of JET or braid and fringed
with jet,appears at the top Of the. sleeve
in some new rantles.
Long draperies for skirts remain in
favor, partly because they are sconom-
ical and not heavy. A facing Of the
dress material, with or without band
Of velvet, Is all that Is needed on tbs
underskirt, and two breadths will make
the draperies, ono forming the apron
