We clip tho following article from ,ha
Newark Ledger, u Democratic paper, and
it should consequently have some weight
with Democrats:
1.-The silver party candidate does not
grow in favor He Is apparently losing
ground. At the meeting OF Populists in
st. Louis, the anti bryan men were out in
force. The silver forces are anything but
popular, except with few of the IL to /
supporters, and 1t looks like that was
growing less daily. Because men refuse
to support the Chicago platform and the
candidate does not say that they are not
Democrats. The party that run tho Chi
cago convention were not Democrats.
They were Populists, yet they parade
under the Democratic banner. No one
would say that Secretary of the Navy Her,
bert, Secretary Of the Interior Hoke Smith,
Comptroller of the Currency Eckles and
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham
lin are not Democrats. These men refuse
to support the Populist candidate. There
are many other prominent Democrats who
have openly declared that they will not
support the silver candidate, nor the plat
form.
The Chicago platform is recantation
of the doctrines and policies maintained
and defended by successive Democratic
Administrations from jefferson to Cleyc.
land; and the Chicago candidate, after his
defeat by the Sound Money Democracy Of
Nebraska, became Populist As evidence
OF his conversion to Populism he solcinnly
declared that he would never support an
advocate of the gold standard of money on
gold platform. He has, therefore, abb
solved every Sound Money Democrat from
the obligation of voting for him. Nay,
more, he has made it the patriotic duty Of
every Sound Money Democrat to vote
against him. Every day shows that the
Democracy are not standing on the order
of their going, but have gone in restless
masses to repudiate and disown this
changeling of Populism,"

1t is said that a woman remembers 4
man whom she has known we'll as a lit
tie boy always as the little boy and new
er can think of him as grown up. This
saying seems to be borne out to a certain
extent at least by an amusing story told
in connection with the appointment OF
M. Edouard Lockroy as minister of ma
rine in France.
When M. Lockroy was a small boy,
his father lived in a house in the street
in Paris which now bears the name Rue
Washington. His home was in the fifth
story Of this building, and 1t appears
that he had certain habits which render
ed him Objectionable to some of the 9TH
er residents of the building, particularly
to the concierge. or woman who looked
ont for the door. He found, for instance,
a more expeditions way of coming down
from the fifth floor than by the stairs.
This excellent woman is still living.

had become a minister, she threw up
her hands in astonishment and ex-

least 10 the theory. as well as the suo-
cessful practice Of the patients Of the
famous DIR. Oertel of Munich, who has
elaborated a system OF breathing that
he has set forth in a large work ON the
subject. The breathing is done by count,
or rather by steps-so many full deep
breaths to a step, the number being
regulated by the nature Of the place
where the walk is taken, whether it be
level or an ascent or descent. The speed
is regulated by the ailment and condi-
tion Of the patient.

II was not an easy matter to get
married in press gang times. Robert
Miller, a Kirkwall man, found this to
be the case. He returned from the
wnalefsbing one autumn. fully resolved
that he shonld take unto himself a wife.
But the press gang got on his track, and
he soon saw that IL he was to get his
hearts desire he would require to exert
both pluck and perseverance. At length
the fategul night arrived. The company
had gathered. aud the minister was in
the house Of the bride, prepared to pro-
coed with the ceremony. when the
dreaded press gang made its appearance.
Ladies IRE not unusually of a belliger-
cnt disposition. but when they saw, AZ
in this instance, the likelihood Of a
marriage being spoiled by interlopers
they rose up in wrath against them.
They assailed the members of the press
gang both with tongue and missiles, SO
that these gentlemen were glad TO beat
q hasty retreat. After this little episode
u back window of the house was lifted.
and the bridegroom, dressed in woman's
clothes, bounded into the room. The
doors having been barricaded to prevent
a surprise, the clergyman proceeded to
perform the ceremony, and surely no

IA Now Flywheel.

The tendency of flywheels to disinte.
CRATE from centrifugal force is well un-
derstood. This popularity has led to
the invention of a new fiywheel that is
said TO be far superior to anything pre-
yiously used. To a hub is attached
wound wire filling the space between
disks about 90 feet in diameter. This
wire is No. 3 steel wire and is securely
fastened i'll place. The wheel is driven
at a speed of about 240 revolutions per
Minute, giving Il peripheral velocity Of
2 $40 miles per minute. This is equal
to about $50 feet per second. 1t requires
about ESQ miles of wire to fill the disks
of a wheel Of this size. Among the tx
periments under consideration are paper
wheels. The teusil lie strength of paper
is greater than that of many metals, aud

CAMPAIGN COURTESIES.

The preliminary campaign gets
lively touch now and then from the in
terchange of compliments between gen.
tlemen who are trying to fix things for
the control of the st. Louis conven-
ton.
Two or three days ago, the Standard
called attention to the allusion which
Protection Fat Hanna had made to Mr..
Plat and Mr.. Quay. Hanna said OF
these two bosses: They are political
babies, mere children in politics. Their
methods show 1t. / had been led to
believe both Plat and Quay astute.
far-sighted politicians. They are moth
ing of the sort. They have so far con-
Quoted their end of this like ten-year-
old children"
OF course, the alert newspaper repor-
ter waited on Mr.. Platt and asked him
for his opinion about the boom that
Hanna has inflated. Hanna and the
entire Mckinley outfit are full of
wind" was Mr.. Platt's remark, after
he had read the sentence from the IN
terview with Mr.. Hanna. Yes" con-
tinued Mr.. Plat, as he glanced over
the interview, there is more wind than
anything else in the Mckinley boom.
The Mckinley people seem to have
leave to print all they wish, and they
are in the fake business. 1t seems to
me that the press is helping them In
their campaign of wind and buster.
Then there are prominent democratic
newspapers that are booming Mckm-
ley. Perhaps they want the republican
convention to nominate him because
they think he will be the easiest man
to defeat"
There you have it-babes and wind;
a sort of republican collie. so to speak.
Before these rival managers gel
through, let us hope that they Will get
IL all off their stomachs.
When the reporter who talked with
Boss Platt and drew from him his OBJ
servation about wind, tnat closed the
interview. Mr.. Plat declined to say
who. in his judgment, would be nomi-
mated at st. Louis. Although Mr.. Platt
did add: lit will not be Mckinney.

SERVING HIS PURPOSE.

When the administration wants the
services of an insignificant man Tor
any purpose, 1t sends for Eckels. He
is comptroller of the currency.
There are things respecting Eckels
worth taking into account. He was a
nobody when, in 1898, Immediately
after the inauguration of President
Cleveland, he presented himself at
Washington in quest of job. He didn't
care what 1t was; he had been a coun-
try lawyer. Eckels was picked up by
an obliging member of the cabinet The
president was asked to fix up for him
some place or other in the census de-
partment, leaving him to live In hope
of something reasonably good In due
time; the claim set up for Eckels was
that he had stumped his state for
Cleveland.
A few days later to the amazement
of everybody in Washington, Eckels
was named for the Office of comptroller
of the currency-the appointment was
one of President Clevelands freaks.
The cabinet officer in question was as
founded. Eckels himself was para
lyzed; his first remark was that he
didn't know anything more about
banking and currency than the man in
the moon.
This much is printed as something
that fell absolutely within the per-
sonal knowledge of the individual who
is writing it, Since 1898. Eckels has
been used to perform all sorts of odd
Jobs for the president. He is in the ma
ture of an administration scavenger
For the purposes of President Cleve-
land. Eckels was trotted out two days
ago, in Chicago. He was put there to
send out a "feeler'-4the trouble is that
a typographical error upset his plans.
The result was an explanatory dispatch
in which Eckels says. in the form of an
interview: "A curious typographical
error in the morning papers made me
say precisely a thing l did not say re-
speeding my impressions of the presi-
dents attitude. 1 understand the error
was repeated all over the country. /
said L do not know anything positively
about President Cleveland's intentions
or wishes relative to the presidency.
but my impression is that he feels there
is reason why he should be willing to
enter another presidential canvass
The printers made II unwilling exact
ly reversing my meaning"
The correction stands-undoubtedly
Eckels was instructed to say that
| Cleveland is willing. The thing will be
left to sizzle. If press comment is to
any degree favorable, Eckels will be
ordered to talk some more. If comment
is unfriendly. word will come from the
white house that Eckels is too free
with his tongue. that he has no right
or authority whatever to speak for the
president and that Mr.. Cleveland ex-
poets to call him to account.
Esther way, 1t won't make any diff
ference to Eckels; he knows what he
was hired for.
