Republican journals in their news
columns are bearing excellent testi-
mony every day to the wisdom of
democratic legislation. More than
eighty important industrial undertake
ings which have been idle have started
up since April LIST, giving employment
to thirty thousand operatives, and
reports show that 100000 industrial
employees are to-day receiving higher
wages than they were getting a few
months ago. When Mr.. McKinley's
tariff law was put upon the statute
books it brought abont an intolerable
condition of affairs and was largely
instrumental In creating the panic Of
1898. 1t emptied the United States
treasury and it created q revulsion OF

Stockholm, June lit is announced
that King Oscar will subscribe 80, 600
kroners TO the promotion of NJ. Andres
project for reaching the north pole BY
balloon, thereby making the expedition
certainty. NJ. Andre, the celebrated
Swedish aeronaut, who proposes to
take the voyage. is chief engineer of

made number Of aeronautical ascents
with the assistance Of the fund which
is controlled by the Swedish academy
Of sciences He always ascends alone

in Paris. under the direction of NJ. de
Fourvrelle and Count Wrangle, first
secretary Of the Swedish legation in
Paris M. Andre in 1898 crossed the
Baltic sea from Stockholm and landed
ON a deserted island, forming a part Of
the French archipelago. His Arctic
proposition was explained by him in
detail at sitting Of the academy of
sciences at Stockholm recently. In the
course Of his lecture he expressed the
belief that in view Of the favorable
conditions which the polar regions
afforded for aerial voyaging and the
great progress lately made in aeronaut.
les, a balloon could make the voyage
from Spitzbergen over the north pole
in about thirty days The cost of the
enterprise would be about $50, 900
kroners, or $50, 900.

Jefferson, June Am attempt to
rob the postoffioe at this place was
made last night The burglars had
supplied themselves with drills, cold
chisels and sledee hammers from an
adjacent blacksmith shop. They gained
entrance to the building by prying out
a window on the side. After opening
the outside door from the inside, il is
presumed, the burglars went to work
on the safe by knocking OF the knob
on the combination and drilling hole
through the door, by which they in
tended to blow the safe open. Mr..
Roland, the postmaster, has been work
ing on the safe all the morning, but
up to noon has not succeeded in getting
the door open, SO it is not known vet
whether the robbers succeeded in get.
ing it open or not. 1t is supposed they
were scared away before they had &C.
complished their aims, by the barking
of dog belonging to DR.. Hawk. who
lives next door to the postoffice. There

the robbers made hasty exit, leaving
