M'KINLEY'S STRADDLES.

A correspondent wrote to the editor
of the query department of the New
York Sun and asked If Mayor McKin-
ley ever voted for the free coinage of
silver He then asked what his posi-
ton has been on the general subject OF
currency legislation. He got this an
swer, which gives in a nutshell that
gentleman's record: 81. Yes, on Mo-
vember 5, 1877; on that day he voted
for BANDS free coinage bill 2. Nc
Kinley has "wabbled" a good deal on
the currency question. When Mr..
Hayes vetoed the Bland bill, Febru
airy 28, 1878, Mckinley voted to over
ride the Veto but in the next congress.
he voted twice against silver coinage.
In the forty-ninth congress he voted
against a free coinage bill, and also
against an amendment which would
have suspended free coinage. had the
bill gone through, in case of an inter-
national agreement; this was a pretty
complete straddle. In the fifty-first
congress. he said in so many words,
I want the double standard June "a,
1900, and he voted for the Sherman
bill. In 1898. he was governor of Ohio.
and so had no chance to vote on the
Sherman repeal bill"
The Sun might have added that in a
speech about one year ago Mr.. McKin-
ley expressed himself strongly in favor
of the gold theory. That. we believe.
was his last public utterance on the
subject. Two weeks ago he was asked
point blank by the New York World to
define his position. His reply will live
in history. 1t was. II have nothing to
say"

HE'S CAUGHT IT.

A Leavenworth, Kas., doctor, A. Le-
onidas Johnson. NJ. D., asserts that he
has discovered the microbe of old age.
To use his own words: For ten years
have studied why men grow old so
fast and die before their time. l found
that the excess of lime in the system
was the cause of old age, gray hairs
and bald heads. That being the case.
pure distilled water should eliminate
the lime from the system. but IL will
not. In my further researches to dis
cover why. / discovered a microbe pc
culiar to these lime deposits. which /
fully believe is the microbe of old age"
1t looks as IL Roentgen, Edison. Tesla
and the rest of them would have TO
allow DR.. johnson to move up in front.
and take a back seat themselves.
other men have sought assiduously to
discover the elixir of life. but they have
not gone about IL scientifically enough.
DIR. Brown-Sequard thought he had
found a remedy for old age. but his
were the ideas and methods Of an en-
piric-the dawn of the microbe theory
OF disease was just beginning when
Brown-Sequard kicked the bucket and
his precious elixir over simultaneously.
DIR. Johnson. however. has awaited
himself of the latest scientific investi-
cations into the causes of the ills that
flesh is heir to. and in spottlng the
microbe of old age he has bounded on
TO the highest pinnacle Of earthly fame
other ills have yielded to treatment

hazard enough up TO the microbe era,
but still treatment based upon he ra-
tional presumption that such disorders
could be cured II only the riglt thing

as fatal disease; the attempts OF such

Of electricity on trunk lines" he said

York. has been the question of trans
mission Of power. About fifteen miles
has been considered the limit of econo-
mical transmission, and this, of course,
would necessitate the establishing of
power houses every thirty miles over
our entire system. The interest of the
investment necessary for these power
houses would have been prohibitive."
But the success in the transmission of
