SHINGLES LAST NEARLY A CEN
TURY.

There is said to be Michigan white ce-
dar shingles now doing good service on
roofs in that State that have been in full
exposure and wear for over seventy-five
years. 1t is thus seen, that climate affects
the durability of shingles, and the fact that
white cedar is..the natural product of Mich
igan, and red cedar of the Pacific coast is
held to be proof that the red cedar is
naturally adapted for use OH the Pacific
coast and the white for use in sections of
the Middle and Northwestern States, &c.
a peculiar objection is brought against
the red cedar by some-namely, that
there exists in that wood an acid which
is in the climate of certain sections so
acted upon by water as to corrodc
rapidly the nails with which the shingles
are fastened onto roofs, the rust extend
ing to the wood around the nails, and
soon causing a leaky roof-this action ex-
planning the holes SO often to be seen
around the nails in red cedar roofs.
Another point Offered for consideration
in this connection, is the fact, as stated.
that shingle is ruined by kiln driving,
and that no kiln-dried lumber can be re-
garded rs of equal value to outside work
of that which is air-dried. = Chicago
Tribune.

WALL STREETS Multitude.

The bankers of Wall street have been
too obtrusive They are so bitter in their
opposition to Bryan and Sewall and the
Democratic party that recently they got
up parade in the interests of Mckinley
and Hobart. An American flag was
borne in the front, and red flag, intend
ed as an emblem of the Democracy, was
trailed in the rear The-effect has been
otherwise than what they intended The
people look with suspicion on this antag-
onism of the Democratic candidates by
the money sharks of Wall street, and
was something other than patriotism that
compelled the bankers and brokers to cele-
brate. These gentlemen have IA natural
repugnance to Mr.. Bryan. He is too
favorable to the interests of the public to
suit them. Class legislation, class favor
itism is what they want, and their can
didate is Mr.. Mckinley
The Republican leaders are urgent in
their demand that Wall street shall not
make such a show of its favoritism

wealth, is wanted to aid in the election of
Mckinley and Hobart, but the bankers
and brokers are not ivited to go on parade

more than enough for the observant pub
lie, who have been set athinking and
wondering what makes "patrioticn Wall

cess of McKinley.-Altoona, Pa, Times.

statement that he was in thorough SYM
pathy with the Chicago platform and
ticket Senator Faulkner says:
This statement does not correctly de-
fine my position, and feel unwilling to
let it pass by in silence.
believe the Chicago convention was a
legal and regularly constituted assembly
of delegates commissioned by the men,
bers of the party to give expression to
the will and wishes of the Democratic
masses of the country. If present and n
delegate to that convention, ! should not
have voted for the platform as presented
to it, as in several respects it does not
give expression to my views on certain
public questions.
A majority of that fairly and regularly
constituted convention, however, adopted
that declaration of principles. Such a
majority can alone determine the princi-
Piles and policies of national party.
The minority have but one of two
| courses to adopt.
If the differences are so serious that it
cannot conscientiously support the can
| didate and platform, it must then seek
| alliance with political organization
| whose declaration Of principles accord
with its own.
LII, however, the policies announced by
the platform, on the whole, are more in
accordance with the views held by the
minority, than the principals and tradi-
tions of opposing political parties, in my
judgment it is right, and the duty of the
minority to yield to the voice of the ma
jority fairly and regularly expressed.
There can be but one Democratic party,
and but one Democratic organization, and
when once that party through its regu-
larry constituted agents has nominated its
candidates and declared its policies, there
can be no middle ground upon which
Democrats can stand.
No faction representing a minority can
claim its name, or usurp its organization.
Believing that the candidates nomina-
ted, and the platform adopted at Chicago,
taken in connection with the history and
traditions of the party, more nearly ex-
press my views in reference to public
questions than the Republican candidates
nominated, and the platform adopted at
st. Louis. shall give my earnest sup
port to the nominees of the Chicago con
vention.

Washington, July 1S.-The Seaboard

providing reduction of 33 1-3 per cent
in freight rates from Boston, New York

This action is the outcome of the war be
tween the Southern and Seaboard lines.
The reduced rates from Baltimore have
already gone into effect and will continue
in force The cut passenger rates from
the East and Baltimore and Washington
| are not touched and though in some in
stances fifty per cent below former rates,
the Seaboard officials say they may be
further reduced if the new rates are met.
EThe Evening Star says: "Just what
action the Southern will take is yet n
| question. The reason why the water con-
nections of the Seaboard refused to recog-
| nize their reduced tariff was that they are
| members of the Southern States Freight
| Association and will abide by it,

the fight to remain and they intend to
make matters very interesting for all par

The next Senate, until Senator Black
burns successor is elected, will consist
of ..eighty-nine Senators, II majority. of

forty-three. This leaves in doubt the sue

chance with the silver men of making
