THE greatest peril of the Mckinley move
ment now lies in the danger that the people
may drop onto the way it is being worked
Minneapolis Times
But the people are already pretty
well onto it. They know that it is a
sort of spontaneous action upon the
part of themselves. His boom is en-
tirely too widespread and permeates
every nook and corner of the land too
thoroughly TO spring from any other
source. Money could not create such
a movement.

What it Costs.
CONGRESSMAN Cousins:

-. Somebody estimates that getting
born costs the people of the United
States $250,0O0,000 annually, getting
married S30O,0OO,OOO, and getting
buried S75,OOO,O00. But, Mr.. Speaker,
that is absolutely nothing. The cost
Of being governed by this admins
tration, the extra cost to business and
to commerce and to labor over and
above what it ought to be, would mar
ry and bury every man, woman and
child in America every month, and
then pay the cost for every one of
them to be born again in the latest
and most approved fashion.

| a scholar or the 1OurIn STdue, Veob
Mankato, who recently visited the
FREE PRESS office:
A VISIT TO THE FREE PRESS.
On Friday l went to the FREE
PRESS Office with my teacher and a
few of my school mates. We had a
pleasant walk When we went down
there it was little too early.
When we got there We went in and
Mr.. Hunt showed us all of the rooms.
First we came into a room where
there was quite a little machinery
and there | saw Albert DanIeISpn
printing names on envelopes with u
machine. He did it quite rapidly.
Next we saw lady sewing leaves
together to make book. Then we
went and saw man roll the blank
sheets of paper. He had a machine
fixed SO that the paper would slide
along. The man could fix it so that
it would 90 fast or slow and he
would stop it whenever he wished.
We went over and saw a man dis
tribute type. He put the type into
the boxes very rapidly. 1t takes a
man about nine months to learn to
ulSUi lUulC ny pC' AAho NAV w oA" %
man covering books.
Then Mr.. Hunt gave us each a
large paper showing all the incest
buildings in Mankato and all the
head leaders of our town. was very
much pleased when Mr.. Hunt gave
me the paper.
From this large room we went into
the local room and then into the
roopo TNbop Mr. HINT
showed us the type and told US about
it.
After the type is set it is called a
| form. There are two kinds of type
the electro type and the plain black
type The electro type is news sent
| from ST. Paul. 1t is sent at noon.
( This news costs them $50 per week.
The form is put on an elevator and
carried down in the basement where
we went now. In the basement there
is the engine room and the room
where they print the papers,
The reason why they take the form
down on an elevator is because it's
weight is two hundred pounds. The
engine room is very warm and it heats
the whole building.
They use one ton Of coal in day.
The printing press is a large ma
chine with a large cylinder which
carries the paper into the machine
One side of the paper is printed at
noon and the other side is printed
about five o'clock.
There is a kind of little trough
with an iron roller in it. This trough
is full of printers ink and just before
a paper comes on the form some Of
this ink is spilled on the form by the
little roller The printing press costs
twenty-seven hundred dollars.
After the papers are printed they
slide out to the other side. Some
thing that looks like great forks take
the paper right down into something
that is called a folder The paper
slides along the folder and it gets be-
tween two little wheels where there
is kind of knife which folds the
paper. The paper is folded in this
way four times and then it slides out
This folder costs seven hundred dol
lars.
After we had seen all this Mr.. Hunt
took us up on the second floor On
the second floor there was another
visiting room, and a club room and
two other rooms.
Printers do very much good in the
world. they give the people all the
news.

WOULD MAKE A STRONG TICKET.

Major Moses p, Handy, in the course
of a letter in the New York MdH ana
Express. proposes presidential ticket
of Mckinley and Reed. This would
surely make strong one and would
sweep the country clean. But the
first thing which will occur to every
mind is that Mr.. Reed would not ac-
cept the vice-presidency. But why
not? There has been TOO much care
lessness exhibited many times In NIL
ing that position, though fortunately
the country has not suffered seriously
from it as yet What good reason
can be advanced that the vlce-presi-
dent should not be a man in every
way qualified for the presidency,
which office he might be called upon
to fill. The selection of a vice-presi-
Dental candidate is of as much I'M
portance as is that of the presidential.
Major Handy asks why Mr.. Reed, or
Major Mckinley, either, should hest
tate to take an office not despised by
John Adams. Thomas Jefferson, John
c. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren,, Han
nibal Hamlin, Schuyler COlfax, Levi
P. Morton or John A. Logan, and de-
clares that the idea that to accept
that office is to be politically side
tracked is prepesterous. None of the
above named men lost anything by it,
and many Of them were more ln1luen-
tial because of it, and several reached
the presidency afterwards. 1t did not
sidetrack Gov. Morton. In fact he is
really more influential today political
ly than before he became vice-presi-
dent. He is a presidential candidate
today whose strength is not to be de-
spised, and were he ten years younger,
there is no doubt he would prove a
most formidable candidate. Of course
a man who aspires for the presidency
would not admit for an instant that
he would take second place, but with
the head of the ticket chosen, it is
very doubtful that the second place
would be refused. And there is no
question but that Thomas B. Reed
would add Importance to the office of
yice-preSident of the United States.
He would not be buried politically,
because he is not that kind of man
is not built that Way. And then he
is the best man who could be picked
out for presiding officer of the senate.
He is a master parliamentarian, and
he would exert a tremendous influence
in bring order out of the class which
exists there, and placing that body n.y.
on the same footing for work that he
has helped to bring the house of rep
resentatives to, and it would add a
reputation which great Tom Reed
need not despise. The nominating
and electing of such man as Mr..
Reed to the e-presidency would do
much to raise that office to the high
respect in which it was held in the
early days of the republic. and from
which it has only fallen in recent
years. And what a ticket Mckinley
and Reed would make! What team
for aggressiveness! What enthu-
sasm they would stir up. Major
Handy has made suggestion which
ought not to be allowed to drop on
barren SOIL

THE Reed and Allison managers are
said to be wondering how they can
head off the great tidal wave for Nc
Kinley. The problem is all the more
difficult owing to the fact, that large
number of the delegates favoring these
two aspirants, are looking Mckinley
ward after the first ballot.

THE CONTRACT CLOSED.
The City to Get More Money for Sup
plying Vessels With Water.

The City to Get More Money for Sup
plying Vessels With Water.
Chairman James NJ Dixon Of the water
commission was asked yesterday about
the complaint made to the city council by
Mr.. r. S. Salas that he had not been given
a proper opportunity 10 bid on the con-
tract for furnishing water to vessels in
the port and protesting against the con-
tract being closed without bids being call
ed for a second time.
Mr.. Dixon gave some facts about this
contract. The Propeller Towboat Com
pany has had it for a number Of years he
said, and paid the city 80 cents per 1000
gallons for water. The company deliv-
cred water TO vessels in port for SO per
1000 gallons
mir. Salas made his complaint TO the
wrong body said Mr. Dixon. The wa
ter commission and not the council is in
control Of the water department The
contract has already been awarded to the
Propeller Towboat Company at $40 per
1000 gallons. The company is placed IN
der bond of $1,000 to deliver water to all
vessels in port wherever required fnclud-
ing Tybee and Five Fathom Hole, at 81. 50
1000 gallons. The trouble with Mr.. Salas
IS that he did not get the contract
His bid was just 10 cents under
that of his successful competitors. l do
not know that 1t would have been award
ed him, even If he had made a higher
bid. The commission would have wanted
some assurances of his ability to carry
out the contract. This work is done nv
tugs specially equipped for the business
which take on water from the hydrants
at the wharves and deliver it aboard the
vessels. If Mr.. Salas has any tugs W hich
can be used for this purpose / do not
know II. Considering the contract a de-
sirable one we called for bids from all
whom we had any reason to suppose were
in position to bid"
Mr.. Dixon was asked If it would not
be profitable for the city to undertake
TINS work OF delivering water to vessels.
The city tried It for a number of we're
and gave it up he said. The maintain
ance of tug for this service would eat
up ali the profits The towboat company
with its expensive equipment of high class
tugs is in better position TO do the worx
and can do II more satisfactorily to ali
concerned" 81

RATHER A SMALL CROP.
Peaches, as a Rule, Were Not so Good
Last Year.

The peach season in Savannah is rap
idly drawing to a close. The fruit re-
ceived in the city now is Of an inferior
quality and it is a matter of only a
short time before little or none will be
seen. The orchards are said to be nearly
bare and it is only the fence-corner trees
that will continue for a while to make
their contributions.
A Morning News reporter saw Mr. L.
Putzel. the fruit dealer. yesterday and
asked him about this years peach crop
Mr.. Putzel said that the quantity OF the
fruit shipped here this season has
not been more than one-third
Of that received last Its quality has
been far inferior. With the exception Of
the liberia variety none of the fruit has
been as good as usual. The old trees are
said to have yielded such a bouptiful CROP
last year that their productive powers
for this season We're impaired and the
fruit small and defective. The young
trees have produced the best yield
Worms. too. have greatly impaired the
crop.
Savannah heretofore has received its
greatest shipments Of the fruit from the
territory between here and Macon. This
season, however, the conditions for the
peach in that section have not been IA
vorable, and the larger part of the fruit
received has been from Southwest Geor-
gia. on the line of the Southwestern rail-
road

Police to Run in All of Them Call
ing Their Wares Before o O'Clock.
A number of hucksters are likely to get
into trouble to-day Instructions were
given the police last night to arrest all
hucksters calling their wares on the
street before o'clock. There is a city or
dinance which forbids the hucksters cali
ing their wares before that hour.
= large number of the hucksters seem
- be unaware Of the existence of such an
ordinance There has been a great deal Of
complaint against the hucksters on this
account recently. They get to- town early
as a rule, and being invigorated by the
morning air, doubtless, cry their wares
with sufficient vigor to wake the seven
sleepeTs, let alone ordinary mortals who
find il difficult to sleep this hot weather
anyway. A person who has tossed about
for half the night unable to sleep on ac-
count Of the heat, isn't put in a Christian
humor by having his morning nap broken
into by the discordant cries of the huck-
sters.
Many complaints have been made Of late
by sick people who have their rest broken
