TO Those Who Bathe.

Cold bathing in the early morning is
beneficial only TO those persons who
have sufficient vital energy and ner-
vOus force To insure good reaction
with no subsequent languor or lassi-
tude. Many persons who are greatly
refreshed 10y their morning bath feel
tired or languid two or three hours
after II. When this occurs IL is con
elusive evidence against the practice.

SOME years ago Prince Bismarck
was reported as saying that in consti-
tutional government Germany was two
centuries behind Great Britain, and
the recent speech of Emperor William
about the divine rights of Germany's
rulers confirms Bismarck's opinion.
1t was such speech as might have
been expected from Charles l. or
James ii, but hardly from any En-
glish monarch of later date.

THE French locomotives are hore-
after to be built to cased point for
ward which will have certain re-
semblance to the sharp ram prov OF
warship, the purpose being to min
imize the resistance of the atmosphere.
They are already spoken of as "the
locomotives with snouts," but they
cannot be any uglier than the ordinary
French locomotive. Indeed, the Eu-
ropean locomotive is an ugly, clumsy
looking thing, with none of the sug-
gestion of trim alertness found in the
appearance of our own express "Ayers. :"

EMPEROR WILLIAM would probably
not consider it a compliment to be
told that he would make a first-class
press agent for an operatic star, but
the hubbub which he has just raised,
the twentieth in about two years, is
proof that he possesses some very
versatile talents in the sensational
line. If the king business ever fails
to pay he can mike a living in other
roles without great effort.

TO TOLL AROUND THE WORLD.

The travels of the Columbian Liberty Bell

erto been mentioned. Not only will it leave

Orleans, Mexico and the mid winter fair at
San Francisco, but Mr.. ]. d. Prince. under

ical freedom, and to Germany for the same
purpose, its next destinat ton being ST

pointing at the prisoner, Daniel Coughlin,
in Judge Tuthilrs court room at Chicago
yesterday. whom / saw enter the Carlson
cottage on May T. 1889, the night DR.. Cro-
min was murdered"
Passing Carlson cottage at about $50
o'clock he had seen a buggy containing
two men drive up from the SOUTH One of
the men jumped from the buggy. ran up
the steps of the cottage, unlocked the door
and entered.
Assistant States Attorney Bottum had
asked Mertes If he had ever again seen the
man. In answer to this question the wit
ness pointed at the prisoner and made his
startling declaration.
Coughlin heard the words unmoved. Turn
ing half about in his chair. as if in antici-
patton of the statement-perhaps the most
damaging to his cause yet given in the
| trial-he sat erect and defiant. facing the
witness steadily.
The witness was bold and confident but
the prisoner did not finch, as for the first
time in the present trial his direct con-
nection. with the scene of the tragedy of
May 4, 1882 was asserted.
Mertes' story was not affected by the Sc
we're cross-examination. He admitted he
mao told Judge wing when not on the stand
"a peck of lies" and said he did not feel
constrained to tell the truth when not un-
der oath.
Judge Tuthill decided adversely on the
motion of the defense to exclude all testi-
mony relating to acts, words and writing
OF persons other than the defendant, Cough

WHAT CHAIRMAN CARTER THINKS.
The Republican Party Could Extend
the Principles of Protection to In
clude silver.

Chairman Thomas H. Carter of the ma
tional republican committee was in Chicago
yesterday on his way to Washington to at
tend the annual meeting of the executive
committee of that body, which will be held
in this city January IL.
The outlook from the purely partisan
point of view, in a general way, seems to
me much brighter to the republican party
than for the country at large said Mr..
Carter. Had any one predicted things that
have become matters of history during the
last year while the campaign Of ~ was in
progress their prediction would have been
described as the raving of a disordered
mind. While it is true that the laws gen.
orally remain as they were before the cleo
ton, the fact is that all dealers have dis
counted the conditions expected to be
brought about by the passage of the So
called Wilson bill to such an extent that we
have been under the shadow of free trade,
OF tariff reform, through the discounting
system, for the last fourteen months.
In regard to the silver question, 1 believe
ii is true that the vast ma jority of the citi-
zens of the United States without reference
to localities. are opposed to gold mononetal-
lism. and in favor OF the use of both gold
and silver as the basis OF monetary system
The republican party favors the two metals
and, in my judgment, 1T is the only political
organization capable of dealing with that
important question IN logical way in this
country.
The proposition of the PHILADELPHIA man.
ufacturers and business men in favor of the
coinage of the American product of silver
and shutting out all foreign silver by pro-
hibitory seigniorage and dividing the profits
on the coinage of American product between
the producers and the government would
prove beneficial and satisfactory both east
and west The republican party can logical
ly extend to silver the principle of protec-
ton. but the democratic party cannot logi-
caly deal with the subject in this manner
The coinage of all the product of the Amer
lean silver mines would not increase cur
currency moro than 3 per cent per annunl.
Il remember quite well that the late la
mented Secretary of the Treasury. Window,
presented to the committee on coinage
weights and measures of the House a very
well considered table of figures, showing
that they might increase our silver currency
:; per cent per annum without thereby en-
dangering in the course of a century the rel
alive proportions of our circulation to the
volume of business and population.
1T Is unnecessary to consider the peo-
pies party any longer as n factor in the
political situation of the country"
