Curious Facts About Political Parties
and Their Candidates.

INTRODUCTION OF IRISH POTATOES
wnrrrrN ron THE prsrArcH.,


A HIST Of nearly 80 political parties in
this country has been published; some of
these parties, of course, were merely local,
while others were wholly temporary; but
the list shows how completely We vote as
we choose, and how often party ties have
been found weak. At the last Presidential
election more parties presented candidates
than ever before, no fewer than six men
offering themselves As objects for the Presi-
dental lightning to strike. The parties
were the Republican, which was successful,
the Democratic, the Prohibition, the Amer
lean. the United Labor and the Union
Labor.
In the old days, before nominating con-
ventions were heard of, there used some
times to be moro candidates, but many of
then came from single party. In 1889 IL
men received votes for the Presidency,
seven Of them being Federalists. In spite
Of the choice actually lying between two
been fewer than three candidates: in 1904,
when only Jackson (Republican, now
Democratic) and Pinckney (Federalist)
ran; In 1872, Madison (Republican) and
Clinton (Federalist); 1916, Monroe (Repub-
lican) and King (Federalist); 1920, Monroe
(Republican) and j. @. Adams (Opposi-
tion); 1928, Jackson (Democratic) and j.
@. Adams (Nationsl Republican,; 1854,
Lincoln and Mcclellan; 1868, Grant and
Seymour. We must give the little parties
the courage Of their convictions, even
though We have never given them the Presi-
dency.

What is meant BY the expression ''the
Court of st. James3" NIL.
The British Court. Its headquarters on
official occasions is the palace Of st. James
in London. In Great Britain, as the Court
has no executive power, the Government is
really meant; but in other countries to
which similar expression is applied, the
COURTS really meant, because the court in
those cases is the Government We speak
Of the Quirinal, meaning the italian court
and Government; of the Vatican, meaning
the Pope; we used to speak Of the Tuleries
interfering here and there, meaning tnat
Napoleon III was meddling; and we still
speak of the sublime Porte or the Porte be-
coming restive at the aggressions OF Russia
do not know where the custom come froms;
but it may be mentioned that the Scotch
have q way Of calling man by the name Of
his estate, so that it would seem to be possi-
BILE that the custom had Scottish origin.

What is the power represented BY the
term horsepower G. W.
One horsepower is the unit in terms Of
which engineers measure the power Of
steam engines, water wheels and other
prime movers. 1t is the power required to
lift $4,000 pounds weight one foot in one
minute. This number was adopted thus:
The first steam engines were employed to
drive mills, pumps, etc, previously driven
by horses, 80 that it was natural to express
their power in terms of the number of horses
whose work they accomplished. Expert
ments naturally were made to ascertain
what the average working power of horse
really was. Boulton and Watts made e1-
periInents with the strong dray horses at
London breweries. They found that horse
was able to 20 at the rate Of 2H miles an
hour. and at the same time raise 150 pounds
by rope led over pulley; this was found
equal to 81. 900 pounds raised one foot in one
minute.

It 10 the path Of Q bullet-or of anything
else passing through the air-from tho gun
to the place where it strikeA Generally
the yord is applied only to bullets and
cannon balls In shooting at an object near
at hand you aim point blank, because
the bullet practically reaches the target
before it ialls ct all But when you fire at
distant object you must aim above it, 80
that the bullet may have room to fall and
yet hit the object. The desire of every
marksman is to get Q trajectory Is fiat As
possible, 80 that the bullet shall have
no need of falling very far A fiat trajec-
tory is obtained by increasing the speed of
the bullets by diminishing their size and
increasing the powder charge. The new
Lebel and Mannlicher rifles used in France
and Austria are said to give very fat ira
jectories. The trsjectories of our American
Springfield and Remington rifles are very
high, and at 1000 yards the bullet passes
many feet above the ground ct the highest
point of its projectory.

of the Three AS may not be out of place.
With all others who like to see this kind OF
sport, was extremely glad to note the big
success of the days proceedings The con-
tests were good ones, and many of the per-
formers were front rank men. In some in.
stances the handicapping was not as
fine IN it might have been, but in the 100
yard race the handicapper was not very far
out of the way. When a scratch shan, as
Jewett was, is handicapped to run second in
the final he hasn't much to complain Of and
it NAV have been that Stage, who won the
| final. was just trifle better than the handi-
capper expected. Taking everything into
consideration the contest was very good,
and the Three AS ought to feel very proud
of them. That organization is rapidly Sc
curing some very good athletes. and I ex-
pect to see the Three AS becoming one of
the leading organizations of the country
some day-if they only keep up their pres
ent energy.
In McKeunau the Three AS have q really
good man. 1t is a pity that his victories
in the recent sports are protested by the
E. E Gyms. There is nothing to gain by
such protests except the qualification Of
q personal whim, which will certainly
perpetuate feelings of bitterness between
the organizations. The Gyms ought to be
above such protest. But, as I was just
saying, McKennan is a ''comer" as an
athlete if ever there was one, and before the
year closes L will not be surprised to find
him with new record.
Quiet VI eek tmong the Pugilists.
There mas been very little going on
among the pugilists during the week.
Everything that has been done has been
confined to talk. One more or less impor-
tant fact is that the officials OF the Olympic
Club are now sure that they will have their
three big battles in one week. As matters
look at present it would seem that their ex-
pectations will be fulfilled. Jack McAuliffe
and Billy Myer are going along all right
and interest in their encounter Is growing
every day. McAuliffe will have to work

Flow on and dance for joy,
And tell me of the happy hours
When was yes a hoy,

And I am old. and they are gone,
But it unchanged is gliding or
AS young and bright as ever.
Unchanged it seems, yet who can stay
The waters ceaseless motion?
The little waves of yesterdro
To-day have reached the ocean;
Unmarked, unmissed, they swiftly fly,
Unmarked, unmissed, we, too. must die,
And leave the mighty river,
Where youth, and joy, and love, and

And all the various modes of life,
Flow on unchanged forever.

artillery detences of Richmond; was
captured with his command and held
in prison seven months after the sur

his death was bilious collie, from which
he frequently suffered in consequence OF
chronic intestinal trouble, contracted

LynchIng.

The frequency with which lynch
law is applied in many parts Of the
United States to-day is a blot upon
our civilization. It is anarchy in
it's worst form, and a public spirit
should be aroused against it that
will suppress it.
No man should be deprived of
any right, more especially the
right to life, until he has been
notified of the charges against
him, confronted with his a~ccusers,
given an opportunity to produce
his witnesses and cross-examine
those produced against him, and
been tried and Judged by inns
partial triers. This is the foundar
ton Of security for ali social rights,
and when this idea is put aside we
have anarchy pure and simple.
There is no difference in principe
between Ravachol blowing up pub
lie prosecutors in Paris with dyna-
mite, and the United States lyncher
inhicting the death penalty upon a
man who has not been tried for
what he is accused of according to
the law of the land, and acquitted
if innocent,or condemned if guilty.
The thing is not to be tolerated
amongst a civilized people. 1t
should be suppressed, and public
opinion is the agency by which it
is to suppressed.
One notable feature of some
lynchings is the meagre testimony
necessary to secure the irfiction
of the death penalty. Ii the crime
is very %atrocious, the proof thereof.
which ought to be commensurate
in its completeness, is reduced to 6
minimum by the midnight moi
court, and somebody is made te
suffer and suffer at once. The
whole practice-there is no rrin'
ciple in tit is absolutely incon'
sistent not only with our institu-
tons, but with the genius Of on
people.-Phak0. Times.

German for Cleveland.
BALTIMORE, April 10.

BALTIMORE, April H..
Senator German has given
orders for the regular Democratic
clubs in Maryland to indorse
Cleveland for the Presidential
nomination. Friends of German
say that he recently had a con-
ference with representatives of
Cleveland at which certain old
differences between them were
adjusted and the Maryland leader
agreed to help the exp resident.
German some time agt declared
he was not a candidate Jnt the Gu
logies of him publishel in Western
newspapers over the signature OF
his colleague, Senator Gibson, and
the long interview with him print
ed about the same time in Eastern
newspapers, showed that he was
still hopeful of figuring as a dark
horse. The action of the leading
Democratic clubs of this city the
past week, or rather since the
Rhode Island election, in coming
out SO strongly for Cleveland was
rather a surprise to hundreds OF
Democrats who believe German to
be as great a Democrat and a
greater politician than Cleveland
The Calumet Club is to Baltimore
what Tammany is to New York
city. When it came out last Fri
day night indorsing Cleveland and
declaring its intention Of going te
Chicago to whoop it up for the ex-
President it was plainly apparent
that the club was carrying out the
Instructions of German, as it wot ID
not indorse any candidate or any
principle without his permission

the resolutions, was n of thu
