HARDLY BIG ENOUGH.
money.

MT Bryan is certainly a remarkable man, being still so young. I wonder how he found time to accumulate so enormous a store of transformation and to develop so mature an incapacity for understanding this subject I say this in all seriousness, compelled by my respect for the exalted office to which MT. Bryan aspires. Considering that for years the discussion of these ques- tions has been his only business, and that he has remained so entirely un- acquainted with the most rudimentary of economic principles and with the most conspicuous of business experi- ence, we must conclude that he not only does not know, but is unable to learn. Imagine such ignorance coupled with such assurance clothed with great power. Imagine him, as President of the United States, parading such child ish absurdities in his messages! It would make us the laughing stock of the world, and every self-respecting American would hang his head in shame.
 So said Carl Schurz in his great speech at Chicago. And true enough it is. MT. Bryan is entitled to courteous treatment from his political opponents. He has received it. But it is plain to all who are not blinded by free silver that he does not cut much of a figure as a presidential candidate. He is neither dignlded nor impressive. He does not inspire confidence, and he does inspire ,distrust and fear There have been presidents of the United States who were not very great men, but MT Bryan doesn't appear to be as great a man as is needed this year

4 cAMpafGN OF SENTImENy


 A Mississippi newspaper gives the free silver campaigners some shrewd advice, although 1t Is perhaps more frank than prudent. It says that the campaign is one of sentiment, not of argument. stick to sentiment" it says, "and we will win; ascend to log ic and argument, and the whole busi- ness will be swamped. The masses against the classes is the war cry"
 The Boy Orator discovered this chunk of wisdom long before some of his supporters did. When he spoke in the Madison Square Garden he tried to make what he thought was an argu- ment, and ever since then he has been appealing to sentiment and en- deavoring to make bad feeling among the people. It is dangerous and shame full work, but he knows that it is his only hope. However, he doesn't seem to be making much headway in his campaign of wicked sentiment. Against it is the sentiment of true pa- triotism which is strongly and warmly manifesting itself all over the land. The good argument and the good senti- ment are both on the side of honest money.

7RE yALUE OF GOOD ROADS.


 Professor W. c. Latta of Purdue 0n- diana) university has addressed time ly letter on the money value of good roads to those farmers who view with some apprehension, because of the ex- pense, the general agitation in favor of improved highways. Professor Latta endeavors to show them that the ex- pense will be 6 good investment, not alone in the economy of power and time in transportation between the farm and the market, but in the en- hancement oe the value of their real estate. On this point he has received answers from forty intelligent farmers in as many counties in Indiana. Ap- proximating the averages for the forty counties, he learned that the estimated increase in the selling price of land due to existing improved highways is $6.4S per acre, while the estimated in- crease per acre that would result from improving all the public roads is S9. He learned also that the estimated average cost of converting the common public roads into improved highways is s1,146 per mile, and that the estimated aver age annual loss per 100 acres from poor roads is s7e.2S. On the basis of the aforementioned estimate, Professor

Latta says, the average annual loss per acre from poor roads Is over 76 cents, In five years the losses would aggre- gate $2,432 for every section of land, and this sum would construct two miles, at a cost of $1,2l6 per mile, which Is $70 per mile above the estimated average cost given by the farmers themselves. But there is another side to this question. viz, the increased value of land from highway improve ment. As already stated, this increase Is estimated by the farmers consulted at s9 per acre. This would enhance the value of each section of land $5,16O, which is more than double the esti- mated cost of the two miles of i'm proved highway which constitute the quota for the section. Just here the ob- jection may be raised that the improv- ed roads would not increase the pro" ductive capacity of the land, while tho ennanceu commerclal value Wouiu III
 crease the taxes. Let us suppose the
 increase in appraisement for taxation to be S4 per acre, and the tax rate 1A per cent. This would mean an annual increase in taxes of 5 cents per acre, or $5 per hundred acres. "Would not
 our objector after enjoying the benefits
 of good roads, be very willing to give therefor the extra $5, if necessary? Would he keep the money and go back to the thraldom of mud roads? If so, he has the option of selling his farm at an advance, according to the aver age estimates of his brother farmers, that will more than doubly reimburse
 him for his expenditure on highway | improvement"

 Iowa's board of health condemns the prevalent notion that measles is a minor ailment of children, that it is ridiculous to attempt to prevent or re- strict the disease, that it cannot be prevented anyhow, and that it is advis- able for children to contract it, as it can be borne easier in infancy than in old age, "No good reason" the board says in recent bulletin. "can be rem dered for desiring any child to be sick with any disease, and what may be deemed right and safe in one case may be wrong and fatal in another. Be- cause one child is rugged enough to throw off the disease easily is no reason why he should be turned loose and at tend school or mingie with other chill dren and be the means of communi- eating the disease to these less vigor- ous, and thus inflict pain, expense and possible death. An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure. It is pre- ventable disease. Statistics show a large percentage of deaths from it, and this is abundant reason for the efforts being made to prevent it's spread and eXterminate it wherever it makes its appearance"

 town to another willresult in an imme- diate and manifest improvement. F know of an instance in which gentle man, sufferer from asthma and bron- chitis. whose home was in a healthy part of Surrey, obtained very great Ter lief by short residence amongs the slums of Seven Dials. Children seem especially benefited by change of air; so much so that it is often found Fadvis- able to remove them even during se- were illness. In two cases which occur to me in which such a course was adopted, the little patients had been given up by their medical attendant because they had reached that fatal stage of exhaustion so dreaded by the physician, when all rallying power has ebbed away, and there is no more re- sponse to remedial measures. AL though it seemed doubtful in both cases whether the children would even sur- vive the journey, an instant improve ment took place as soon as the removal was accomplished, and in each case complete recovery followed, Both of these children came from homes where every comfort was provided. and from neighborhoods considered healthy.
 I have little doubt that the marvel ous vitality of gypsy urchins whom one sees running about clad in an irreduci- ble minimum of raiment i'll damp and wintry weather, and who are neverthe- less as hardy and jolly as young colts. is attributable in a great degree to their constant rowing habits. It is well known that wild beasts in travelling menageries, in spite of the rough and limited accommodation which they have to put up with are more healthy and live longer than those which have all the care which science and money

The high single band choker collar fastening in back will be used great deal Linen cuffs will be worn all through the fall, as long as our patience holds out.

That photography is killing more ducks than hunters are is the claim made by an enthusiastic sportsman, who goes on to explain that the univer- sal practice of photography is creating an immense demand for an albumen in finishing ftla pictures, and that this al- humcn can be produced only from eggs. The eggs from the ordinary domestic hen are too valuable for food to be sacrificed to art, and as consequence the breeding grounds of wild birds are giaaned for the desired fluid. The Heb- riaee islands of Scotland, Lofoden of Norway, Labrador. Greenland, South America and all other extensive haunts of large birds are robbed constantly by the natives or men from sailing ex- petitions, and the result is especially hard on the ducks. Labrador is a par ticuiarly unfortunate land in this con- nection, for the miles of crowded nests offer all irresistible temptation to the egg hunters.

Striking Out Of Sympathy with Enc

CLEVELAND, Aug 4-The molders,
brass workers and coremakers at the
Van Wagner & Williams Hardware
works went out Monday morning.
They hope to thus assist the men who
struck from the Brown works to gain
their strike. The Van Wagner &
Williams works is about four blocks
east Of the Brown works, on the same
street. Between the two Is the City
foundry. The men from the former,
about 100 in number, marched to the
City foundry to try to persuade the
men there to go out. The men at the
City and Kilby foundries refused to 60
out until ordered out by the Central
Labor union.
The Van Wagner & Williams Co.
manufactures hardware, castings and
drop torgings. The men who went out
of the Van Wagner & Williams works
will not admit that they struck in SYM
pathy with the Brown men, but the
fact that they did is apparent. One of
the leaders said that a delegation
would call on Mnyort McKisson and
demand of that official that the weap-
ons be taken away from the men at
work for the Brown Hosting Co. If
this is not done, they say that the
union men will arm themselves.
About lao men entered the Brown
works Monday morning. There was
no disturbance, and so far as known
none of them were molested on Their
way to work.
A number of men were arrested Mon
day by the police for congregating in
the vicinity of the Brown plant. Labor
leaders claim that to-day will witness
large accessions to the sympathetic
strike. Several big establishments
closed down last night because of ina
bility to get patterns aud castings.

New YORK, Aug. 3.-The foreign ex-
change syndicate which was formed by
j. Pierpont Morgan has assumed very
large proportions. The agreement
provided that the members of the syn
dicate should bind themselves to fur
nish bills of exchange to the amount
of $50, 100000, and, If called on, to the
further amount of 5000, 900, or S75,-
100000 in all. 1t is rumored that the
offerings of credits in connection
with the Gyndicate undertaking have
reached the enormous total of $3.50, O00,-
600. The Standard Oil Co. is understood
to have turned over to the syndicate
all its exchange against oil shipped
abroad.
