The decimal-an hour divided into
100 minutes, each minute to consist of
100 seconds-is again being agitated in
France. M. Etienne, the deputy for
Oran, will introduce bill into the
French Chamber toestablish it legal
ly on the ground that many labori-
Gus calculations would be avoided by
it's adoption, particularly in the sci
ence of navigation. The trouble
with the proposed reform is that it
involves too much. The circle would
have to be rearranged, and the re-
ceived methods of angular measure
ment modified. Laplace's decim al
day, containing twenty hours, adop-
ted at one time in France, would be
demanded for consistency's sake.
These changes, however desirable,
would be too disturbing; the people
would rebel against them.

What Politicians in Washington Have
to Say.

Washington. August S,-Chairman
Jones, of the Democratic national
committee, was busy at spare mo-
ments with a mass Of mail. One of
the members connected with the COM
mittee says the correspondence is un-
precedented One veteran said that
in a service Of twenty-four years he
had never seen such a rush and he
claimed that the letters show consid-
cradle detection due to silver.
At Republican headquarters a large
working force is busy 1t is stated that
public interest in politics as indicated
by the extent of the mail is unpre-
cedented. The most varied suggestions
are offered. Many campaign poems
and songs with music are offered. A
letter received from Louisiana assures
the committee there are strong hopes
Of carrying that state for Mckinley.
At the silver headquarters a number
of interesting letters were received
today. One from the mayor of La
crosse asked for a supply of German
and Scandinavian literature and add
ed that the silver movement was max
ing rapid progress in that locality.
Senator German, of Maryland, today
said: "In the present campaign 1 will
aid Senator Jones in every way pos
sible, but under no circumstances
would l assume the duties of chairman

PREFERS A DIRECT METHOD

nate Mckinley Electors.

New York. August 3.-Hon. Bourke
Cochran was asked today II he would
support a third ticket II one was nam
ed. Notwithstanding the views express
ed in his interview published yester-
day. He said:
III a convention be held at which
all Democrats can be represented. who
believing that the party was betrayed
at Chicago are determined that It
shall not perish for the lack Of efii-
Client organization, and II free inter
change of opinion be had among its
members. should be strongly inclin-
ed TO accept its decision.
Il think 1t more important that the
Democratic opponents Of Bryan should
be united in one movement than that
any particular form Of cooperation
should be adopted. II is assumed
that the plan suggested by me contem-
plated merely the assembling OF a
convention which shall adopt a gen.
timely Democratic platform. nominate
Mckinley electors and stop there.
When / said that the Democrats meet
ing in such convention as suggest
ed, while nominating Mckinley elect
ors. would provide for a really DEM
ocratic opposition to the Mckinley ad-
ministration during the period Of its
existence. l thought It would be clear
that / meant a substantial and effect
i've opposition. Every Democrat who
refuses to support the Chicago plat
form regards the defeat OF the absurd
propositions which Bryan stands as
the paramount issue Of the campaign,
and since the simplest and most ef-
fective method Of accomplishing that
result is TO nominate Mckinley elect
ors, believe in following that course.
In a contest Of this character 1 be-
lieve the people would prefer direct
to an indirect method Of expressing
their adherence of communistic pop
ulism and anarchy. With Bryan and
his socialistic program disposed of the
opposition to Mckinley and Mckinley
ism would become the duty Of the
Democratic party"
