Blue Jeans at the Fair.

Two Worlds fair visitors, in hickory
shirts, jeans pantaloons and immense
straw hats, stalked into the Missouri
state building the other day, and were
at once the center Of a curious crowd.
The visitors were brothers named Hart,
and they had taken novel way of reach
ing the Worlds fair. They left their
home in Camden county, Mo-, about the
middle of June and came up through
the Illinois bottoms by easy stages in
camping wagons.
Camden county, Mo-, is where they
raise good harvest hands. The Hart
brothers are typical members of this
profession. Along about early harvest
in June they allowed it to be good plan
to work their passage to Chicago and the
Worlds fair via the harvest fields.
Camping outfits were slowed away in
wagons and the pair started northward.
When they found farmer who needed
extra help in making hay or harvesting
early crops they hired out for few
days. They not only paid their travel
ing expenses in this way, but laid by q
snug sum with which to see the fair at
their leisure.
When the Hart brothers reached Chi
cago they selected grove about four
miles west of the fair grounds and pitch
ed camp for four weeks stay. Worlds
fair hotels had no allurements for them.
Their first visit in the fair grounds was
to the Missouri building, and it took
them some hours to get accustomed to
their new tangled surroundings. The
piano in the parlor pleased them i'm
mensely, but the typewriter machines in
operation simply astounded Them

New Pension FuloA,

Commissioner Lochren has issued q
frank and very timely statement of his
attitude toward the revision Of the pen
sion lists. So far as pensions granted fo,
service disabilities are concerned, he says
that he assumes them to be honest and
fair and does not investigate them ex.
cept when information is received tend.
ing to raise doubt in an individual case.
He is not assuming fraud or even search
ing for it, except where it is charged by
some responsible person.
AS to pensions under the act of 1890,
he is having an investigation made for a
reason which is mandatory. tits prompt
ed by no suspicion that the pensions
granted under that act are generally
fraudulent, but because under Raum's
order 164, which clearly set aside the es.
sentials of the law, many pensions were
granted for which there is no lawful au.
thority whatever. To discover these and
stop them is sworn duty which no hon.
est man at the head of the pension bu.
reau could neglect, and that is all there
is of Commissioner Lochren's investiga.
ton. There is no suggestion of politics
in it.-New York World.

Ohio Democratic Platform.

We hereby approve the platform o.
the Democratic party adopted by its ma
tional convention at Chicago and especially
those portions of it, referring to the tariff
and to currency legislation. We congratu
late the country upon the early prospect Of
measures Of relief as outlined by the presi
dents late message to congress, and we
have confidence that the Democratic con
gress will devise laws to furnish such re
lief.
The financial situation is the unfortunate
legacy of the Republican administration
il is the natural result Of the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava
gance of the Republican party recently in
power, and the creation and fostering Of
trusts and corrupt combinations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, tk
create distress in the money of the country
and to paralyze its business.
We recommend that national banks may
be permitted to issue their currency to an
amount equal to the par value Of United
States bonds which they may deposit will
the treasurer of the United States to the
end that the volume of currency may be
Immediately increased.
The interest Of every true soldier anc
pensioner demands that the pension rolli
should be made and preserved as q roll Of
honor. We believe in just and liberia
recognition of the claims OF the veterani
and favor granting them all that patri
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand. But the granting of pen,
sions of fraudulent claims, or for partisan
purposes, or department decisions in CON
travention of law, as practiced under tht
last administration, needs to be investigat
ed and corrected so that the unselfish valol
of the American soldier may remain un
tarnished
The Democratic party pledges itself that
the rightful claims of no Union soldier to o
pension shall be denied, and the allowance
of any worthy pensioner shall not be dis
turbed.
We condemn the unbusinesslike admin.
istration of state affairs under Governor
Mckinley, deplore the official scandals and
defalcations under it, and denounce the
condoning Of official crimes which have
brought humiliation upon our people. We
denounce the reckless extravaganza Of the
large Republican majority in the roth gen.
eral assembly which appropriated for cur.
rent expenses about $500, 900 in excess Of
the current revenue and added almost $780,
O00, 600 to the local bonded indebtedness OF
the state, by laws in the main unconstitu.
tionaL We demand that an end be put to
such robbery of the taxpayers
The Democratic party expresses Its coma.
dence in the ability of Hon. Calvin S. Brice
of the United States senate to materially
assist the Democratic majority in the con.
gress of the United States to extricate the
great commercial interests of this country
from their present distressed condition.
The country has abiding faith in the in
tegrity, the patriotism and exalted courage
of President Cleveland True to the peo-
pie and watchful of their interests, he will
enforce honest and economical methods in
the conduct of public affairs, and secure tC
every section of the country the blessing Of
good government.

CONGRESS does not deserve all the

to talk about its passing financial re-
lief bill in 4S hours, but in Congress,

"IT is matter of surprise to me-"
said gentleman interested in physic-
al culture, "that young people pay 80
little attention to the proper develop
ment Of their bodies. Theygo through
life with thin, flabby muscles, hollow
chests, stoop shoulders and weak
lungs, when light judicious exercise
practiced little each day would make
real men and women of them. Look
at Sandow, the strongest man in the
world, who is now exhibiting in Chi
cago. Sandow was once weak young
fellow, 80 the story goes, but by syste-
matte training has brought his muscles
to higher degree of perfection than
any other man. In fact, he has devel-
oped muscles of which medical men
hardly knew the existence. What is
more beautiful on earth than finely
developed man or woman? And yet,
while everybody admires, how few
seek to attain that perfection, or de-
gree of it, by personal effort. To me
this lack seems to be chiefly traceable
to one cause, laziness."

Mighty Mean Men.

Skeptic-So the protected manufac.
turers are greatly concerned about the
welfare of their workingmen, are they?
Believer-Why, certainly. Their great
est wish is to see all of their workers
prosperous and happy.
Skeptic-And these same manufacture
ers, then, are anxious and willing to pay
the highest wages possible, are they?
Believer-Undoubtedly. That is why
they will always hold so tenaciously tc
protection, which prevents their work
men from competing with pauper labor
of Europe.
Skeptic-It is not then primarily and
mainly for their own benefit that they
give SO much time and money in support
of protection, is it?
Believer-Oh, no! AS Congressman
Walker Of Massachusetts says, "The
manufacturers of this country as such
have not the slightest direct interest in q
protective tariff" If wages were re-
duced to the European level here, oul
manufacturers would still thrive, fol
they would then be able to sell in any
market in the world. It is to prevent
the introduction here of the miserable
pauper wages system of Europe that the
manufacturers support protection.
Skeptic-Such being the case, can you
tell me why these good, unselfsh manu-
facturers always import low instead Of
high priced labor and why they oppose
labor unions whose main object is iden
tical with that of the manufacturers
viz, to keep wages up?
Believer-Yes, certainly. It is-sim
ply-because-because-well, really
have never thought of 1t i'll that light.
suppose it is because there are black
sheep among the manufacturers who are
SO selfish that they want to pay as little
instead of as much as possible for labor;
Such men are unworthy Of protection
for just as likely as not they want it ali
for themselves and would never give any
of 1t to their employees. There are some
mighty mean men in this world.

Two Brands or Reformers.

One brand of tariff reformers thinks
that protection is bad, and that it should
be abolished. They think, though, that
as every change in the tariff unsettles
business. it is best not to shock trade
by any great or sudden change of rates.
They prefer to reform gently, and to
scale down protective duties at the rate
of 2, 8 or per cent year, reaching a
tariff for revenue basis in 1905 or 1910.
Another brand agrees that protection
is curse, and that any change of duties
disturbs industry. They think, how
ever, that the quicker the tariff can be
reformed and protection abolished the
quicker will be the recovery from the
shock. If a tooth is bad, they prefer
to have it extracted at one sitting rather
than at dozen sittings, in which case
the agony might be prolonged for two or
three weeks. They say also that if pro-
lection is abolished piecemeal that not
only will business be panicky for many
years, but that the protected manufac-
turers will fight each step with all of
their power, money and influence.
Short, sharp action which shall remove
the poisonous fang of protection from
industry is what is needed. Business
will then soon recover from the shock
and will thrive as never before

A novel railway signal clock, which
indicates the time intervening between
the passage of trains, is the invention
Of an ingenious Pennsylvanian. The
engineer can readily tell by glancing
at the dial, the length of time which
has elapsed since the preceding train
passed that point. The clock runs
regularly, indicates the hour and min
utes just as an ordinary timepiece does,
but an apparatus throws the minute
hand back to II at the time Of the pass
ing of each train. Then the hand
moves forward in the regular way un-
til the next train passes, when 1t
thrown back to IL. If the period be-
tween trains should be an hour or
longer period, then the minute hand
will stop at IS minutes and remain
there until passing train throws it
back to IL. 1t will then once more be-
gin its 55 minute journey.
