Democracy, etc, etc, has been talking about

says It Is blessed good thing the Democrats

State issues Where they did so they Jared bet

elsewhere But wherever they pinned their
faith to National issues. they were beaten wal
loped, catawampously chawed up Which Is ex-
actly true, Bear in mind, however, that ma
tional issues means Cleveland. Nothing more.
He is the only national issue the Democrats
have had for dozen years. No principles. No

Charges of serious character against Charles

were transmitted to Governor Morton yesterday
by representatives Of the depositors Of the sus-
pended Commercial Bank in Brooklyn. There
has been considerable scandal regarding this
bank since ii went TO the wall in 1893. but
Governor Flower refused to heed the allega-
tions made against Preston. They are now re-
peated, with additional force and he is accused
Of being derelict negligent and false to his trust.
1t is claimed by the authors Of these charges
that the Bank Superintendent ought to be-
pended pending an investigation, which Gov
ernor Morton cannot fail to order. Mr.. Pres
tons term expires next May, but the nature Of
his conduct is in no wise affected by the cir
cumstance that he has only six months more
to serve.

A GREAT HEAD FOR FIGURES.


Berah Colburn, the Most Remarkable of
All Mathematical Prodigies.
Bcrah Colburn (born at Cabot, Vt,
Sept. /, 1901; died in Norwich, Vt, March
q 1S4O) was the most wonderful of all the
mathematical prodigics. His remarkable
powers became manifest as soon as he was
old enough to talk, and by the time he
was years of age he was the wonder of
both Europe and America. In 1872 when
he was only years old, he was taken to
London in order that the great mathcma-
ticians of the British metropolis might
try his powers. This was done to their
satisfaction and with the following re-
suits:
He raised any number consisting of one
figure progressively to the tenth power,
giving the result, not from memory, but
by actual multiplication, faster than the
person appointed to keep record could set
down the figures. Next he raised the fig
ure successfully to the sixteenth power,
naming the last result, which consisted of
10 figures, almost instantly, every figure
being found by proof to be right. On
being asked the square root of lOG, 920 he
answered 1927 before the recorder had time
to write down the number to be squared
He was then required to find the cube
root Of 26S, 1886, l2l, and with celebrity that
was really startling replied that it was
645, whereupon the astronomer Young,
who had been well drilled in mathematics
in problems where billions" were ham

minutes in proving the correctness Of tine

mediatcly named 04l and 1858, and it was
afterward learned that they are the only
two numbers the multiplication of which
will give that result. His taskmasters
next proposed that he give the factors Of

single moment he replied that it had none

Of the prime numbers He was asked next
to name the square of $780, 900, feat
which he performed in nine seconds by
twice multiplying the square of 81, 037 by
81, the answer being 4S, $780, 902, 600, 049.

Quoted very differently from the way they

over 5000 acres. The proprietor reserves
about $50 acres for his own planting and
rents out the remainder to small farmers,
who give him so many pounds or bales of
cotton for the rent, in proportion to the
quantity and quality of tho particular

of the tenants are negroes, 40 families of
that race residing on the place.

She does more than this, for she raises
chickens and turkeys, sometimes geese
and ducks, using the eggs for pocket mon

necessary to her comfort as to that of her

WILL NAME THE DELEGATES.

There has been some talk TO the effect
that President Cleveland might decline
to appoint delegates to the next inter-
national monetary conference, which IL
is expected Germany will call during the
summer, because the wording OF the
resolution adopted by congress provid-
ing for the appointment OF delegates
would seem TO indicate that they could
only take part in a conference called to
consider free silver solely. This Is a mis-
take, and is forced construction OF the
resolution. IL can be stated on author
ity that whenever Germany or any
other OF the great powers OF Europe
issues Invitations to a monetary confer
ence Mr.. Cleveland will accept on behalf
OF this government, and the delegates
provided for by congress will be duly APP
