Col Aidrich offered the following as IN
amendment to Mr.. Patterson's resolutions to
be substituted tor the third resolution
THAT the said newspaper, the State, has
abused the privileges allowed to the press
by this convention, and that for the balance
OF the session its representatives be denied
admission to the floor OF the convention aad
that the sergeant-at arms be charged with
the enforcement of resolution"
Col. Aldrich in his speech said they all
knew that the elevating influence exercised
on society by the press was gone They all
knew that in the morning when they saw
something in Il paper OF u sensational aad
deiamatory nature they never even bothered
themselves to find out il it was true or not.
Any honest man, particularly thalr president,
could afford not to notice 1t at all. His i'm
pulse would have been not to notice it at all.
The paper had abused the privilege given It
and the only Legitimate thing for them to do
was 20 cut off that privilege. that the con
vcnticu had given 1t. The representatives of
the press were granted the privilege to sit
thern Gnh report the proceedings of the con-
vrntion Tor the benefit OF the rublic and for
lhr!r own financial advancement, 50 long as
Ih"Y r".,av"d themselves. When the Drivil-
e.,,'s were abused the only thing the coaven-
ton could do WAS to put them out.
A strong spesch was made by e6-Governor
Sheppard against the Patterson resolution
ton should not be adopted, because tho re
porter Of the paper on the floor had de-
meaned himself rs u gentleman and fur

There was another lncipient sensation on

His estimate of 242 electoral votes which
cannot be reckoned on by any party
which declares for a gold standard, or
straddles the currency question, is proba-

should not require another election to
convince the Republican managers that
the people are in earnest about this sill
yer question. The results of the recent
elections should afford all the evidence
necessary. If they do not profit by the
lesson taught by that election. they alone
are responsible. The people. if unin-

PNEUMATIC TIRES.
An Irish Doctor Invented Them to Pre-
serve His Sons Health.


serve His Sons Health.
Very few of the hundreds of thou
sands of cyclists who now enjoy the
pastime of an up-to-date safety shod
with pneumatic tires have an idea from
what crude Continuance those same
air cushions on wheels have been
evolved. Pneumatic tires were in
vented in 1889 by j. P Dunlop, a horse
doctor of Belfast, ireland. He had a
son who rode tricycle. and who, by his
indulgence, had developed a nervous
trouble. The veterinary concluded that
the boys disorder was due solely to the
jolting of the wheels, and, planning to
do away with the objections, SO that the
lad might continue his exercise he hit
upon the idea of putting air cushions
on the wheels. With only such material
as he had at hand for use in doctoring
equine invalids, he set to work. Using
a broomstick as mandrel, he wrapped
it spirally with linen bandages. Next
he took some rubber sheets and So
lutioned them around the linen The
ends also ne fastened with rubber So
luton. He inserted a valve little bet
ter than a plug and putting it on the
wheels started his son away on the
first pneumatic tires, 1t was quickly
found that the rough and ready style of
fabric would not hold air, and SO an
inner sheath of pure rubber was tried.
The valve was vulcanized to this inner
tube in such a way that in the event of
any trouble with the valve an entirely
new air sheath was the only remedy
Flat riE::; were in use at the time and
the tire. we're fastened to the rim by
a strip of muslin which came out with
the free edges from the under side of
the tires. These ends were wrapped
around the rim and vulcanized to it.
The linen completely covered the rim,
effectually concealing it's material
Tires such as these were used for a
couple of years. They weighed from
twelve to fifteen pounds pair, and a
puncture in one of them was about as
serious oiatter as broken frame is
at the present time.

About the most brutal thing we have
seen in print recently is the public at
tempt of Labor Commissioner Bird to
vindicate himself at the expense of his
wife. OF course man has a right to
ask for divorce if he wants to, but he
has no right to drag the woman before
the public and cast the odium on her.
The letter of Mrs. Birds brother shows
that the unfortunate lady is in with a
bad lot and had better shake herself of
the entire lot.-Lawrence World.
Since neither party seems to be wholly
blameless the Worlds criticism cannot
be considered as unjust. At any rate d
decent regard for his children should
have prevented the labor commissioner
from endeavoring to shield himself at
their expense.

An Anecdote of Grady.

Many are the anecdotes of the late
Henry ". Grady, and all of them are
interesting. Shortly before his death he
extended an invitation to a newspaper
man whom he had never seen to call at
his Office.
When the journalist entered, Mr..
Grady was seated before a window in
his private Office writing.
''Sit down. he said, and then wrote
on for half an hour in silence.
His visitor became restless. He seized
his hat and said, Good morning!''
est down. said Grady. "I'll talk
with you in a minute -
The man resumed his seat, but Just
at that moment another visitor was an
nounced and admitted.
Seeing that Grady was not alone, he
said:
''I'n call again when you are more
at leisure. -
''Stay,'' said Grady; fthis man over
here" pointing to the Journalist,
doesn't amount to anything. Just talk
awayl"
Then the journalist grew hot in the
collar, and rising said:
eff don't amount to anything, Mr..
Grady, why did you desire this meet
ing?'
my dear fellow replied Mr. Ora
dy in his most winning way, ''you re
too sensitive. Just sit down again.
