New YoRK. Sept. Ex-senator Charles
F. Msnderson OF Nebraska, chairman OF
the executive committee of the Repub-
lican congressional committee, is at the
Waldorf. Said he:
II see it's Morton, and l suppose it
will be $4,000 majority. Well, this ia
going TO be a grand Republican year. not
only in New York, but all over. Ver-
mont and Maine have set the bsll roll
ing. The prospect in Nebraska is good,
too. The only thing that looks bad for
us there is the crop failure. Populism
thrives only in disaster. IL is
not an element OF good times and
prosperity. Nebrsska's three Republi-
can congressman, Mercer, Haines and
Meiklejohn, have all been re-nominatsd.
They all are jealous Republicans ard
there is every prospect of their re-elec.
ton. Bryan, our Democratic congress-
man with Populistic tendencies, having
served two terms, declined re-nominR-
tion. He will try to become United
States senator if the Populists carry the
legislature. Daughtery (Rsp.) is run
ming against the Populist KEN and And
rev (Rep.) will try to defeat this Popu-
list McKeighsn."
Speaking of the Republican con-
greesional outlook Senator Menderson
said:
Republican prospects are very en-
couraging indeed. We shall make large
gains in the south. Three Republican
congressman will be elected in Louisi-
ana, and it begins to look as if the war
by the Democratic congress against the
sugar planters OF that state will result
in the state going Republican. There is
a growing protection sentiment also
in Georgia and Alabama. There
ia an astonishing number of pro-
tectionists in these states. l have
been among them recently and l
was surprised at the change in senti-
ment. Ia South Carolina we shall
make gain OF about three congrsssmen.
Waite's denomination makes Colorado
perfectly safe as Republican state, and
Wyoming, we hope, will swing back into
the Republican column. The election
there ia important, as two United States
Henators are to be elected"

HOW to STUDY PROPERLY.
Books Should Ee Wen Chosen and Rea
Carefully, Not Devoured.

Carefully, Not Devoured.
Study is like dinner. The viands
must be well chosen and eaten slowly,
not devoured, then well turned over in
the mental stomach for awhile until
with ease and comfort they are perfect
ly digested and furnish nutriment to
the brain. Most students study without
thought, which is like eating without
dlgesting. Others read merely as a fad
and soon forget all they may have
learned.
The most satisfactory method of study
is the digestive. 1t is the thorough one
the one that gives strength to the
brain. Take the subject you are study
ing. Read few lines or few pages,
as the case may be, then put the book
down and think on what you have read.
Turn it about in your mind from every
standpoint Do not accept it immediate
hind Iii Argue t60f 6adn and againaf afdt5ltEars ia IT,
You need not be at your leisure to do
this. Do it in your walks, in your idle
moments, at any time. When you have
satisfied yourself ON the subject, go on
with little more in the same way. In
q short time you will find yourself
more thorough student than if you
had read all at sitting. The best edu-
Gated man in the end is the man who
learns slowly, but surely. New York

The Japanese were allowed to trade only
with the Dutch, and to hold
communication with any one else

fell in with feet of Japanese
fishing boats and the American officer
tried to purchase one OF the Japanese
hats az a curiosity to take home. He
was finally successful in persuading the
Japanese to part with hia hat, but the
fishermen drew his finger across his
throat to signify that ii it was found out
ashore that he traded with an American

''The Chinese with all their power
are bound to be whipped. They are
highly initiative and quite intelligent,
but their ships are no use to them.
They are like workmen who do not
know how to use their tools. In this
great naval battle education and per-
