WILL BE M'KINLEY?

A special correspondent of the New
York World named William Shaw Bowen
has been in Washington city for the
past few days looking over the political
situation, and endeayoring TO ascertain
its drift as the politicians there see It.
His letter 20 the World, giving the results
Of his study of the case, is not an en-
couragng one TO sound-money Republic
cans. He says there are distinct evil
dences that the silver and the gold fac
lions of the Republican party are ar
ranging for a compromise in the platform
that is to be adopted at st. Louis. The
silver Republicans talk loudly Of no COM
promise, but IL is plain that they are
working for one and it is equally plain
that McKiniey's managers are working
night an day TO secure from the gold
Republicans just such concessions as the
"sllver Republicans" cannot reject. Ills
correspondent says he is assured by the
best authority that Mark Hanna, Gen
eral Grosvenor, and even Mckinley him
self desire that the financial blank Of
The Ohio Convention be adopted as the
financial plank Of the st. Louis Conven-
ton and we all know that that llgrk
means just as much of nothing as it means
of anything. And yet. according TO Mr..
Bowen, Mckinley and all of his managers
are moving heaven and earth to get that
plank accepted as the financial plank Of
the Republican convention.
This is not all that is dlscouraging in
this gentleman's letter. He says Quay
is tending towards compromise plank
Henry Cabot Lodge is moving In the
same direction; and he says he hears
nothing but praise from Republican lead
ers OF McKinley's silence in respect to
finance.
We suppose that Kentucky has now re-
moved tho last shadow Of doubt about
what the Democratic platform will be.
We suppose Il IS now clear 60 every
one that it will be for free coinage of
silver by this country alone at the ratio
OF lG TO /. Are the sound money men
Of the Republican party going 10 allow
Mckinley 20 play any such trick upon
them as Is indicated In MIR. Bowen s
dispatch?
We DO not for one moment believe II.
We have said from the begi lni x that.
although II looked like folly 10 say so.
We did not believe that Mckinley would
be the Republican nominee, and we feel
stronger in that opinion now than we have
ever been. We do not believe that the
immense stores OF capital that will be
represented at the st. Louis Conven-
ton will ever agree that the man who Is
put forward as its representative shall be
person who is coQuetting with the sill

cloud of locusts were durkening the
air. They sped along at the rate of
four miles an hour, settling on
every patch of maize, millet, or sor-
ghum. All the natives were ont, old
and young, beating drums, shouting,
rushing here and there, and beating
crops with switches to drive the pests

are very careless about the future;

NEW PARTY FORMED
Sound Money Democrats Call a
National Convention.
Name OF the Organization to Be the
National Democratic Party.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE pro-
visional national committee of the sound
money democrats met here and issued call
for a national convention, to be held in this
city Sept. 2. to nominate candidates for pres
ident and vice-president. Thirty-four states
were represented in the conference. The
sentiment for third ticket was practically
unanimous.
II the earnestness OF the sound-money
democrats throughout the country wal
fairly expressed by the men who Assem- bled
here today rs the representatives Of tina,
sentiment, the movement is destined
to be important. General James
o. Broadhead, of Missouri, was invited
to preside and the representatives
express themselves. Colonel Crawford. OF
Texas, for whose particular benefit the meet
ing was called, failed to appear. He mad
gone out on trolley ear to take a breath OF
country air and could not be found.
The Georgia representative agreed with
the sentiment of the others and proclaimed
that 40, 900 votes would be cast in his state
for sound-money ticket. General Tracey,
of Albany, the New York representative, and
G. F. Peabody, his associate, did not speak.
General Tracey said he believed that many
thousand democrats In New York state
would support the sound-money ticket
rather than vote for Mckinley. He expressed
much interest in the Intelligence ne received
after his arrival that the silver craze is pass
ing over in the central West Il expected
it, he said "but fancied that the mani
festations would become apparent later in
the campaign"
Thomas A.Wilson. the representative from
Michigan, made speech, in which he said
that the third ticket was Il necessity in his
state and that a large number of democrats
would support it. Every representative who

of this movement to maintain the financial
standard would grow as the campaign ad-

Fast Mail Work.

1t would not be surprising TO fluid
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Bal
timore aud Washington connected by
tubes, enabling letters and parcels to
be forwarded in rs many hours rs it
now takes days. The telegraph COM
panies will be seriously affected by the
new system.
The operation is very simple. The
letters are placed in leather tube or
carrier, which fits snugiy into the
pneumatic tube. Then blast of air
from behind, or the suction of air
from the front, or combination OF
the two methods, forces the carrier
and its contents forward. AS the
friction soon wears out the leather
carriers, American genius will he
called upon to invent metal carrier
on "ball bearings" With leather
tubes about ninety per cent. of the
power applied is lost in overcoming
the friction and in waste, on y ten per
cent. of the total force applied being
used to propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters IN Paris was Is cents ench in
lS79,and the territory covered was but
small part of the city. Today every
part of Puris is reached by the tubes,
aud the charge is ! o cents, per letter, the
same as our special delivery. Nine
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected. Probably many of the
readers of the Round Table have one
or more of them. They bear map
of the city on the face OF the envelope,
showing the different sections served
by this post. The Berlin and Vienna
pneumatic letters are simple in design.
There are no special designs on the
London envelopes. - Harper's Round

1t is erroneous to believe that
bicycle riding should be avoided in
every case of heart disease. Physicians
who have made a study of this qnes-
ton declare that it may even be very
beneficial in certain instances in which
the action of the henrt is feeble, and
in which signs of fatty degeneration
are found. Increased muscular exer-
else almost invariably improves the
condition of the heart itself. There
are, however, several indulgences that
persons with weak hearts should be-
ware of, such as straining to climb
hills and meeting head winds, excess
sive fatigue and particularly exciting
the heart and calling upon its reserve
strength by the use of stimulants and
improper food. Hartford Times.
