THE DAILY NEWSPAPER.
its Development and Its Worth Excellent
ly Set Forth.


ly Set Forth.
The evolution Of the daily press into
more than newspaper is forced by
public expectation and custom. 1t is to
majority of people, at least ON this
| continent, the sole library. 1t must salts
fy a wider demand than that of the man
who merely wants to know if stocks
have risen since yesterday Or whether
Senegambia and Bolivia have gone to
war overnight.
Matthew Arnold said, with a sus-
picion of tears in his voice, that if he
lived something like 90 years longer
than he expected to, he would probably
be the only man in Great Britain who
would be found reading books. He took
an extreme and rather pessimistic view
AS matter Of fact the press has been
largely instrumental in encouraging the
reading OF good books, and while it en-
crosses the attention of many millions
of readers to itself the fact Of the in
creasing literary output of the country
and the world Tefutes the notion that
the public is losing its appetite for mat
tiers OF enduring mom> ut. Thoreau, the
apostle Of high thought and individual
ism, took no care Of the changes that are
recorded and forgotten every day because
he lived apart from men and studied ma
ture He it was who cried "Do not read
the times Read the eternities. " But he
lived in day when the press was small,
OF little influence and servile. In his
own state it supported the demands of
the Shareholders, to his infinite disgust.
and 1t was first and last a mere record
of the days doings.
But the press Of this day is more than
a record. 1t is mirror Of the worlds
thoughts and intentions, a critic, a
judge, guide, friend. By many the
news pages are glanced at, and attention
is bestowed Oh the contents that exhibit
deliberation, research and scholarship.
There is as good writing and as pur-
poseful and helpful writing in the daily
papers today as there was in the maya
zines of the first half of our century be-
fore. Moreover, it is writing to some
purpose, 1t is not for mere display of
style, but to accomplish the betterment
of governments, Of society, of institu-
lions and arts, to stimulate effort In
right causes, to encourage industry.
thrift, honor and content The condition
of the world in our century without the
daily press is unthinkable. BROOKLYN

The Treatment Of Headaohe.

There are so many causes for head
aches and so many conditions that lead
dp to this distressing malady that it is
often very difficult to diognosticate the
case properly, . said medical man Of
wide experience, "Of course, if the root
of the matter is not reached, medicines
avail nothing and may do more harm
than good. One thing, however, is quite
certain, and that is that congestion is
very frequent accompaniment of head
ache, and the pressure on the brain be-
comes extremely painful and may lead
to dangerous consequences. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that any course of treat
ment that relieves the overfull blood
vessels Of the brain must be desirable.
1t is always best to consult some relia.

HER FAN.

F1utter Of feathers and perfume of laces,
Carved sticks of ivory, daintily white;
Plump little Cupids with mischievous faces
All, could but read your expression Alright
Say, do you know are you wholly unfeeling,
AS you pelt one another with roses so sweet
Do you not know that my heart she is stealing
To trample it under her pearly shod feet?
Almost I think you exult in the chances
Your owner bestows when she seeks to en-
slave.
Know you no cure for wounds from love'I

Have you no power her victims to saver
Swiftly she whirls in the maze of the dances;
Slyly you laugh as you peep from each fold
And thus one more victim Of coquetry 3 fancies
Questions in vain-his fate is untold.

THE BICYCLE OUTPUT.
This Years Production Expected to Ex-
coed by Far That of 1895,


coed by Far That of 1895.
1t is expected that the output of BIZ
cycles in this country for 1896 will far
exceed that Of 1895. 1t is said that
American manufacturers are prepared
to produce this year, if they can get,
when they need them, sufficient supplies
of steel tubing and other material, $780,
600 bicycles The output last year was
approximately, 100000 bicycles. 1t is
thought that the actual production this
year will reach $50, 900. 1t is more like
~ to exceed that number.
Few wheels are imported, not enough
to cut any figure here. Our exports are
still not great. American manufacturer
have been too busy supplying the home
demand to make much effort to supply
other markets, but they continue to in
crease. We are selling more bicycles in
Mexico and more in South America,
principally in the Argentine Republic.
Our exports to Europe are also increas-
ing, the greater number going to France
and Belgium, though we sell some
wheels in other continental countries and
in Great Britain. In Paris enough
American bicycles are now sold to make
them factor in the trade.-New York

THE RESULT AT PUEBLO.
Bryan and Sswali Electors Endorsed by All
 the Conventions

Bryan and SeWali Electors IndorSed by All
 the Conventions.
 Denver, Col, Sept. 10.-The silver re- publican convention completed its la bors today by naming full state ticket and appointing a conference committee with full power to dispose of the candi- dates upon fusion ticket.
 The fusion conference of committees from the four parties have been in session all day, but nothing has been done. A test vote on governor failed to secure majority of the conference for any candidate.
 The conventions have all indorsed the Bryan and Sewall electors nominated by the democrats, making the fusion on president and vice president absolutely certain, but failure to set up a fusion state ticket will be the probable outcome of the conference today. The ticket named by the silver republicans is as fol- lows: Governor J. l.. Brush of Greeley; lieutenant governor, Simon Gudgeheim of Denver; secretary of state Harry E. Munix of Trinidad; state treasurer George w. Kephart of Durango; state auditor, John ". Lowell of Route county; attorney general, B. l.. Carr of Boulder; superintendent of public instruction, Mrs. Mayne Marble of Denver; regents of state university, W. J. Orange of Silver Cliff and Dr. F. G. Lobengier of Denver.
 The silver party has not yet named @ state ticket and the popullsts in Pueblo are awaiting the result of the fusion con- ference here.

Lincoln, Neb. Sept. 10.-A party of twenty-four postal clerks, delegates to the national convention of their associa- tion, heard little speech from Mir. Bryan today at the Rock Island station They were on their way to Denver where the convention is to be held, and had tel egraphed ahead to J. H. Harley, the post master at Lincoln, requesting him to se- cure the presence of MT. Bryan when their train arrived. The clerks cheered MT. Bryan when the train came in and James H. Maloney, secretary of the civil service board and superintendent of the postofice registry department at Spring field, Mass, made a few remarks, greet ing Mr. Bryan in behalf of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks as the true representative of Americanism.
 You are regarded by members of the association he said, "as the man Of America who stands for America and American institutions, and we greet you in behalf of the members of the associa- tion of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and other states, and we believe that from the cedars of Nebraska to the bending pines of Maine that in the con- test for the supremacy of American citi- zens you, sir, will surely win. As Ameri- can citizens, representing no party, but with love for America. we promise you our support"
 MT. Bryan in reply said: q am very glad to greet you, gentlemen. 1 only re- ceived notice of your coming few mo- ments ago, but am glad to meet you as the representatives of an occupation which requires so high an order of intelli- gence and so large a degree of fidelity. l meet you in an entirely bipartisan manner and accept your kind words in the spirit in which they were rendered.

 Mr Daly still saw no objection to the plan adopted by the committee
 Mr OConnor was opposed to the first Tour words in the first section of the Thornton plan as they were too broad, The only objection, as he understood it, to the plan already adopted was no pro- vision for a primary.
 MT Gresg-It would require a recon sideration of the plan adopted to insert a provision for registration He did not think that the fact that some candidates mad objected to the plan should have anything to do with the action of the committee. The people should be satis- ned The democratic party had had one lesson and should act wisely in this mai . ter.

 put up and Moseley, whom he was satisfied would run, would have a walk over.
 In view of this fact the committee should act wisely. I've are here" he said to represent the people I am a proxy and know that the people in my ward are opposed to a convention"
