The speech at Dallas, Texas, of Thomas
f. Watson of Georgia, the Populist can
didate for Vice President. is attracting a
good deal of attention. He was especial
ly severe in his denunciation of the Demo
cratic party, but said practically nothing
against the Republicans. He lampooned
Arthur Sewall, Democratic nominee for
Vice President, characterizing him as the
incarnation of all that is venal in politics
and as the prominent representative Of
monopolies and the money power. He
declared that Sewall went to the Chicago
Convention, not only as National bank
president, but as a gold bug at heart and
was at that time personally supporting a
gold standard Democrat for the Governor
ship of Maine. Mr.. Watson declared that
he was in this fight to finish, and that
he will not retire from the race for Vice
President in Mr.. Sewalrs favor; that if
Bryan is defeated, Sewall will be to
blame, and that if Bryan wins it must be
because Watson wins also.

The Republican papers and Republican
leaders in their rejoicings over Monday S
victory recognize to the full the strong
support received from the sound money
Democrats. The general sentiment is
correctly voiced in the following para
graph from an Augusta despatch to the
Boston journal:
The friends of sound money and a Gov
eminent Of law and order have to thank
largely the gold Democrats for the magni-
ticent Republican majority. OF these
Democrats, it is estimated that $500
voted for Powers, thereby emphasizing
their dislike to the Chicago PLATFORM 1t
was very noticeable at the polls that many
OF them made no secret of the fact that
they voted for Powers They did SO fear
lessly, and were willing that all the world
should know that they placed their coun-
try before party.

The Belfast Age after complimenting
Senator Lodge and George Fred Williams
on their ''oratory, scholarly finish and
gentlemanly references to other men and
parties speaks of ''the abusive haran-
CUES of VIM. 2. Frye" Evidently the
writer of this paragraph had never heard
Mr. Frye, whose speeches here have al
ways met with much acceptance, and
whose earnestness and honesty have i'm
pressed those who differ from him poiiti-
cally. He is a different type Of speaker
from those with whom he is compared
He may not have their scholarly finish
but he is none the less scholar, is pains
taking as to his facts and speaks from
intense conviction. He could not plead IA
cause which he did not believe to be right
Here again he differs from Nh. Williams.
The latter is undoubtedly scholarly and
we'll informed man, and it is the less to his
credit that he should state what he knows
to he untrue and advocate a cause he
knows to be Ubiquitous, with view to OBJ
tanning political preferment, and perhaps
at the same time crafty personal pique
Senator Frye would retire to private life
rather tlan sacrifice his convictions OF
bean false witness 10 retain or obtain Of
flee. The press has simply done its duty
in quoting Williams against Williams, in
exposing lis garbling of quotations and
his generally reckless assertions; and he
has rallied at the newspapers on every oc-
casion. There is certainly nothing schol-
arly OF statesmanlike in this part of his
utterances.

been demonstrated that water will not run

that when cutters are filled up and the

The honored Lieut.. Governor of a great
State has been cured by DR.. Greene Ner-

DR.. Greene's Nervura is the medicine
which always cures.
Who can doubt this after reading of its
wonderful cure of Gen. Thomas, Lieut..

General Thomas, who resides in Montpe-

Judge of Probate, and then made Brga-

"First Niehters, at the Station.

1t is interesting to see the emotion
betrayed by a man who has been ar
rested for the first time and who has
to stay in the station house all night.
The white man who is little above
the great unwashed will shrink in hor-
ror from the black hole. He will gen.
orally ask to be allowed to stay out
side the office. This request cannot be
granted. The colored woman generally
cries. The tough negro wants to fight
before he goes in. So does the tough
white man. The more respectable negro
will not say anything until after he
has been placed in the cell, then he
will fall on his knees and pray. White
women generally cry and some of them
lie down on the floor and have to be
dragged into the cell. Taking every
thing in there are some unique char
acters among the first nighters." 1t
does not take them long to learn the
ways, though, and on their second visit
they generally go through the routine
without being directed.-Louisville

she performs with the greatest skill

way through the most intricate pas
sages. According to her owners she is

An C0urf.

A French antiquarian has brought to
light some interesting dressmaker's
bills of the ladies of Napoleon's court.
They are from the account books of
Leroy, the Worth of his time in matters
OF dress and bad fellow generally,
but an undisputed arbiter of taste in
feminine raiment. 1t appears that JOS
ephine's yearly bin was about $50 900,
and this was greater amount than
Marie Louise or Queen Hortense dared
or desired to spend. Napoleon's mother
was not a patron of Leroy, which is ex-
planned by the fact that she preferred to
receive her dresses from her daughters
rather than purchase them herself

HOTELS AND INSOMNIA.
A Palace Loses Its Attractions II Sleep
Is impossible.

A Palace Loses Its Attractions II Sleep
Is Impossible.
The beauty of the new hotels erected
daily at health resorts, seaside places
and on the Riviera cannot be denied,
says foreign exchange. The windows
are light and airy, the ceilings high,
the reception-rooms superb, and APP
pointments of bedrooms and bathrooms
luxurious and costly No reasonable
expense is spared, and yet these splen-
did, palatial abodes are often deserted
by invalids and comfort-lovers for the
more homely and dowdry hostelries.
The reason of this is not far to seek.
Most Of these hotels are intolerably
noisy. They are run up lightly, the
walls are thin, the floors are neither
fire nor sound-proof, so that to dwell in
them is rather like living under q
sounding-board or being compressed in
to box with voices all around you.
The new spring locks of the doors
sound like miniature cannon going off;
there is the inevitable man overhead
who goes to bed late after a cheerful
bout of boot-throwing and dragging of
portmanteaus, while he whistles loudly
or talks in high baritone to his friend
next door.
Then beside you is the early riser,
who takes walk before breakfast, and
is preparing for pedestrian or bicy-
cling tour. The waiter whispers in
hoarse tones of the chambermaid out
side, while she pertly rattles cans and
baths as Irritation accompaniment in
response. To the weary invalid in
search of rest and sleep these things
are unspeakably annoying. What is a
palace in which you cannot close your
eyes in comparison to the humble cot
where gentle slumber courts the weary
eyelids? Insomnia is the growing
malady of the age. Thomas Carlisle
began the agonized moan of rebellious
nature and it has gone on forever since.
Sleep is the one boon, the one COM
forter, for which we of these latter days
crave, and when we go faint and weary
to the seashore or to the glowing south
ern land of oranges it is pertinaciously
denied us.
