CorrosIon Of Metals by water.

The peculiar statement is made by
M Bauchier in LIE Revue Maritime ct
Coloniale that corrosion Of metals by
water may be caused by the action of
micro-organisms present in particular
harbors, but absent in the ocean. 1t ap-
pears that the fact, as ascertained, Of
pure aluminium plates immersed in
Norfolk Roads being badly corroded at
the end of three months, while in
France commercial aluminium subject
ed to the same test was practically un-
touched, and two plates attached to the
bottom of ship were uninjured after a
voyage around the world, led him to in
vestigate the sea water from different
places, with the following results, as
stated: If introduced into boilers, the
Mediterranean water, which contains
more salt than the Atlantic water,
causes more damage; SO does the water
taken from estuaries and near the shore,
which contains larger proportion of
nitrates from fermentiDg organic mat
ter. The destructive power Of the shore
water is much reduced, however, If it
be sterilized by means Of boiling.

GAVE GRANT HIS START.
How the Great Commander Went Back

How the Great Commander Went Back
Into the Army.
The Washington Post is authority for
she statement that the late General
Thomas j. Pitcher gave General Grant
his real start. They had been classmates
at West Point At the opening Of the
civil war Pitcher, then captain, had
been sent to Springfield, Ills, to act as
United States mastering officer. A
stranger entered his Office one day, and
Pitcher relates the following story OF
the interview:
"'You don't seem to remember me,
Tom, said the visitor.
"sNo, don't, said, but I've seen

"sI'm Sam Grant, he answered.
''His beard had SO changed him that

"'Yes, can, said I. You know
how to make out muster rolls?'
"'I should think so, said Grant, with
the first smile seen on his face.
"'Well, am allowed $100 per month
and rations for clerk. If you like, take
that table over there and begin now. =
A month later Pitcher walked into
his office and handed his clerk an official
envelope directed to Colonel U. s.
Grant. " The clerks face turned red,
then pale.
There's your chance, Sam" said
Captain Pitcher.

Monarchy and Republic.

If the greatest objection to monarchy
is that nation may thus run the risk Of
being ruled by fool or scoundrel, the
greatest objection to certain forms Of
democracy should be that nation may
thus run the risk Of being governed by
500 of such. A great English lord was
one day confdentially informed that his
steward robbed him. II know it," he
replied, "but my steward sees that no.
body else robs me" That English lord
was wise man. And, as for costs, !
believe that enough money is spent and
enough business is stopped during a
presidential campaign in America to
keep all the crowned heads of Europe
during the four years Of the president Is

THE COLONEL WAS MEAN.


For Big Man He Played Small Game
with His Car Tickets.
Colonel Blank was big, pompous
man, as it behooves one to be who as.
pires to a military title without the
drawbacks Of military life. He was
always calling peoples attention to his
marked facial resemblance to James q.
Blaine, the greatest man, sir, this CEN
tury and this country have produced. !"
And peoplc--ill natured people. that
is--thought the colonel had vivid inn
agination. There was prodigality
about his physique that one somehow
expected to see repeated in the coloDel's
character. And to hear the colonel hold
forth from the end Of the boarding
house table over which he presided the
unsophisticated boarder would never
have doubted that such reasonable ex-
pectation would be realized on closer
acquaintance.
What, then, was this unsophisticated
ones surprise to hear the doughty colo
mel, evidently in high good humor
with himself, say one day:
''Well, / earned my fare down town
today"
That the colonel would stoop to earn
nickel was remarkable; that he should
boast Of it was incredible.
"You see," proceeded the man of
military aspirations, II went down in
the carette. Getting III at Schiller street,
the carette was empty. and went up
to the front and bought six tickets for
quarter. One dropped in the box.
Then as the car filed up ] was exceed

down, passing their fares up and depos-
iting them. An exceedingly polite man

until I had used up my five tickets and
confscated five nickels had regained

that was not SO polite. let people
drop their nickels into the chute which
the company provides for that purpose
Awful nuisance, that chute But it's
not my business to play conductor if the
company'S too mean to hire any"
And the colonel called for another
cup Of tea, and the unsophisticated one
gasped to think Of the smallness of
which such greatness was capable. -

Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1895-06-13

The whole western country has
been blessed with good, soaking rains
during the past week, which puts all
the present. Their future depends
upon whether Or not sufficient rain
falls during the balance of June and
July. The wheat crop, for Barton
county at least will not be worth much,
the rain came to late 20 save it. Oats,
barley and rye will also be short crop

plentiful as they are now; the skinfiint
who holds them will not hold them SO
tightly. The man who needs them can
get more of them for horse, hog, land
or labor. Bankers and money loaners
will make less money. Merchants,
traders, farmers, producers all the
great active millions who depend upon
their industry and activity will thrive
and the country will prosper.
1.-The issue is between those who
have their fortunes made and those
who have their fortunes TO make; be-
tween The capitalists and the people;
between a system that contemplates
perpetual loans as the only source of
money supply to those who must use
money in business, and a system suf-
ficiently liberal to allow the business
men and traders TO own money in
reasonable quantities; between credit
and cash; between system that will
enable the people to free themselves
from debt and a system which will
deep them forever indebted.
What shall the democratic party
do? 1t must be democratic. It must
do what jacobson did, stand money
against monopoly. Democrats should
remember the sentiments of theil
/ fathers:
'Sha1l we be slaves to bankrupt knaves,
| And bankers be our masters,
And all cur pay from day to day
Be nothing but shiDpIasters2'

by the masses and be the real people
party, or it must expect to go out O
business for an indefinite period

A KANSAS newspaper man who has
evidently rubbed up against some of
those grasping, ail-minded leeches
who curse most towns by their pres
ence, says: do you love your town.
Do you have any concern for it's fu-
ture? Would you like to see it grow,
prosper and expand its trade and in
fiuence? If you do, ask yourself these
questions: Do I help to maintain and
support its institutions? Do I en-
courage every movement looking to
the upbuilding of the town? Do I
lend assistance to it's institutions and
do patronize them? Do fully under
stand the duties devolving upon me as
citizen? IF you cannot answer these
questions in the affirmative, then you
are not only stumbling block, but a
detriment to any community.
WITH all the talk about free coinage
gold base, the nations credit and the
workingman's hope, the fact still
remains that an era of general pros
psrity has set in. It is noticed
naturally throughout the east first,
but it is steadily moving westward.
There are more men employed than
this time last year. and the scale OF
wages is steadily improving. There
are no "Coxey armies" tramping over
! the land; no great strikes, obstructine
business and causing suffering and
destitution. The sober, second thought
of the people leads them to recognize
that the country is in good hands,
and that the wise provisions of ths
democratic tariff laws are already
working out good results. With al
expansion Of the nations currency
such as we are bound to have as an out
come Of the present thorough discus
sion of the financial question, on
country is bound to maintain its repu
tation as the most prosperous. th
grandest, and the best country o.

To Make Voting Compulsory.

No one will dispute that it is in
cumbent upon every citizen to dis
charge his civic duties in the matter
of voting, nor is ii denied that il is
especially the duty Of the good citi-
zen to remember his obligation TO the
community at the ballot box; but it
is disheartening fact, patent to all
interested in reform work, that no
small per cent. of the better class do
not vote, hence the repeated victories
of the purchasable element
Various plans to check this ten.
dency 20 neglect on the part of the
best citizens have been suggested,
such as statutes making voting COM
pulsory, and the like, but the latest
and apparently most practical idea
comes from Missouri. The board of
aldermen of Kansas City has passed
a law, the main provision of which
reads:
Every male citizen over the age of II
years who shall be resident of Kansas
City shall be assessed --------a poll tax
of 500, which shall be collected and
paid III the same manner as amy other
personal tax: Provided, however, that
If the person 50 assessed shall vote
land receive certificate from the
recorder OF votes that ne has voted, or
shall otherwise establish that he has so
voted, such certificate or proof shall
operate to eXtinguish such tax $500
All money collected under this section
shall be used for sanitary purposes
The consttutionality of the meas
ure is soon to be passed upon by the
supreme court of Missouri. Should
it be upheld by that tribunal it i
very likely to meet with favor in
Michigan and other states.
