Democrats are delighted with
what now looks like the certainty
of McKinley's nomination for Pres
iGent by the republicans. If they
ican't beat Mckinley they can't
beat anybody. Speaker Reed was
reported to be so Disguised with the
result Of the week just closed that
it required not a little persuasion to
prevent his announcing his with
arawal in favor of Mckinley, W HON
he has abandoned all hope of de-
feating. The McKinleyites want
Reed to take the second place on
their ticket, but bis mind will have
to undergo great change before
he consents. 1t is said that Mr.
Reed feels very bitter towards Sen
ator Proctor, Of Vermont, on ac-
count Of his belief that Proctor be-
trayed him to Mckinley in that
State. IN the hope Of getting sec
ond place on the Mckinley ticket,
and it has been intimated that Reed
intends to have something to say
about the trtachery Of Proctor, af-
ter the meeting Of the st. Louis
convention.

Good Horses in Pocahontas Co.

The editor Of the Recorder tho't
he had struck mares nest in the
above and took a fiendish delight
in parading before the eyes of his
readers the foregoing inaccurate
statement. The horse he refers to
as having sold for $500 was
"Harkawav," finely bred racer
formerly the property Of MIR. J. G.
Wilson of this place, and the price
he brought was 800 instead Of 81
as stated in the Recorder. In any
other paper such statement as
the one above quoted from the Re-
ccrder would appear decidedly IN
accountable, but with that sheet
ecerything goes, We advise the

webs from his brains and to look

our statement above goes for Cos

under ordinary circumstances stand

difference would look rather large

New York Imports 05 Per Cont of tho
Silk Coming to This Country.
The growth OF the silk industry In
this country makes an interesting
study, says the Mail and Express. The
annual product OF the American mills
is worth about s1OO.O00.000. Not only
has there been n marked increase in re-
cent years in both the value and
amount OF production, but the mills
have produced classes Of goods never
before attempted. Silk Is now used
for such great number Of purposes
that its manufacture and importing has
grown to be leading industry. In an
interview New Yorker who is an au-
thority on everything pertaining to the
manufacture and importing Of silk said
recently: 1--WE can make anything in
the silk line that can be made in the
world and that there is market for.
There are, however. certain high novel;
ties that we no not make. One OF the
noteworthy features of the trade dur
ing the last decade is the decline in
the price Of raw silk and the great
improvement in nearly every depart
ment of machinery and appliances. The
silk imports at New York comprise
fully 95 per cent of the total value Of
silk Imports in this country. The large
mills are all represented In New York,
so that the metropolis in this industry.
as in most others, is the center of distri-
button for this country.

There are vegetarians who deny
flesh food on sanitary grounds only,
while others cling to the diet on hu-
manitarian grounds. They refuse to
eat meat because they decline to even
remotely sanction the slaughter of a
living creature for any purpose. says
the New York World. This feeling is
carried to the point Of fad in Eng
land, and as result, vegetarian boots
and shoes" are advertised as for sale in
the London papers. The uppers are
made of "jannus corium," which, by the
way, is oak-tanned leather, but few peo-
pie will recognize the fact. This is all
the leather used in the shoe, however.
The soles are of closely waterproofed
flax betting. The vegetarians in ar
guing that the skins of slaughtered
animals are not necessary say that
India rubber, gutta percha, steel, iron,
and brass nails, cashmere, cotton, elas-
tic webbing, wood, paper, cork, straw,
