An Iron Tourti"r Unie-tctcs Something
 Outside of His Line.
 The fonnde~ Of the Ncndorlc column contract. The French government, when it decided to erect the notable column, ei4 tered into d contract with an iron founder, says the Philadelphia Record. He knew nothing whatever of modelling or casting in bronze. The government agreed to supply him with cannon captured from the Russians and Austrians during the campaign of 1895, in quantities sufficient to found the monument. The contractor, know ing nothing of the phenomena which the fusion of bronze offers, found when two-thirds of the column was com pleted that he had used up all his metal. Sufficient bronze had been given him to complete the monument. and he was responsible for the entire amount. Finding himself face to face with bank ruptcy he melted up his scoriae and mixed the metal with cheap refuse which he purchased, and so completed the founding. The castings, however, were found to be so full of flaws that the work was stopped, and the founder ruined. The holdings of the different parts of the bas-relief were so badly executed thatthe chiselers who repaired the defects removed no less than 70 tons of bronze They received for their labor E 12,O00, to which was added the 70 tons of bronze, which became their perquisites. The whole transaction was very, very French.

Methods of the Campaign.

The reported decision of those in
charge of the republican campaign
this year, to dispense with the "literary
bureau" and to rely exclusively upon
the newspaper and the stump speaker
for presenting the party's claims and
promoting its interests, is one which
indicates the ascendency of practical
common sense in the party's councils.
The literary bureau is the invention,
and often the asylum of schoolmen
and doctrinaries. Its productions are
expensive and the attempt to dodge
postage bills, by circulating them
through the mails under the misused
franks of congressman is something
that the people do not approve.
The newspaper reaches every nook
and corner of the land. The editor
has his hand on the local pulse every
where, and knows what sort of argu-
ments are needed in his particular
neighborhood better than any "burean"
that ever has been or ever will be cal
led to existence. The money which
the literary bureau would cost, expend-
ed in enlarging the circulation of local
papers, will serve double purpose. 1t
will disseminate every truth which it
is desirable to emphasize in any given
locality, more thoroughly than pamph-
lets and circulars can possibly do; and
it will encourage the local editors, on
whom so much depends, but not little.
Nothing can be more disheartening to
the local editor-struggling hard in
many instances to maintain his foot
hold and creditably serve his party
than to see large sums, which might
so much strengthen his position and
enlarge his influence, squandered on
literature which he knows will be prac-
tically useless, but of which heis often
coolly asked to become the distributor.
He is always ready to supply his paper
for campaign purposes at marvellous
" low rate. The best speeches of the
party leaders, put in the form of "plate
matter" can be reproduced in the
bumblest journals; and local journal
istic talent, warmed by just apprecia-
ton of its labors, will more than double
the effectiveness of every ISSUE
