BRYAN of Nebraska, the young man
selected as the nominee of the eilverite
convention held in Chicago last week, is
remarkable man IN more directions
than one. He is natural orator having
delivered political speeches when but II
years of age. He is an orator and a
phrasemaker more than a reasoner, ana
is an elocutionist of the highest type.
He is clean man and of high character,
but is more emotional than deep and
more sentimental than sound. If he
were more mature III years he would be
a safer guide than he Is now apt to be.
He has the capacity of leadership and ID
4 good cause and under proper guidance
he could do valuable public service, His
eloquent speech at the convention nomi-
mated him. 1t is q powerful Grafton for
crowd, but lacks the calm analysis of
Hills speech which Is UNNECESSARILY su-
perlor to Bryan's IN argumentatIve force.
1t is too bad a man SO clean and able as
Bryan is should stand upon a platform
so revolutionary IN its purpose.

THERE Is no appetite for office IN the
republican party. The rush for the po-
sltion which Upham is about to rellnqulsh
because he disgraced it, Is proof OF the
powers Of abstention in that party.
Meanwhile there is promise there will be
a fight all along the line. Mr.. Baensch
has led the break and already there is a
man looking for his place. A break at
one point means break at all points
and we may confidently expect to see
contest in the convention for every office.
Insurance Commissioner FrIcke has an
opponent in the field already in the
person of q Sheboygan man. Several
republican papers are urging that Mylrea
be dropped. 1t looks as if there VIII be
great deal of politics in Wisconsin this
fall, and a very heated contest.

GOLD IS PLENTIFUL.
News Discovered Deposits in the North
ern Part Of the Continent

Newss Discovered Deposits in the North
Part Of the Continent
While all Europe is having a feverish
experience specializing in stocks Of
African and Australian mining compa-
MES it is rather interesting 20 note that
the gold mining operations in this coun-
try and Canada have been increasing
in marked degree SAYS the Boston
Transcript The Black hills mines will,
it is estimated, produce sl0.000000 in
gold this year. New finds OF rich ore
are reported almost every week new
clorination and cyanide plants are I'M
der construction and the district is said
to contain mills having the equivalent
of l, 100 active stamps. Northern Mon
tana has also been explored for gold and
some good indications have been found
In the Belt mountainB and the Sweet
Grass hills. Most of the gold has been
found IL placerS, and It's water for min
ing or for any other purpose was very
scarce during the past summer the out
put for the year will be small in spite
of the appaI ent richness Of some OF
the deposits. The gold region of Rainy
lake and the Seine river, northwest Of
Lake Superior, has recovered from the
unhealthy boom of 1928, while the
mines a little farther to the west
around the Lake of the Woods, are foTg-
ing rapidly ahead. The Canadian Pa
cific road gives these mines easy COM
munication with the markets and they
have developed quite fast. The oldest
mine, the Sultana. has some 1908 feet
of workings and has produced $4,000
in bullion up to the present time. There
are mills with about ninety stamps in
this district aud a large reduction
plant. The great discoveries of the
northwest, however, are in the Trail
creek country, in the West Kootenai
region. Both the Canadian Pacific and
the Spokane & Northern roads are
building branches in this district, and
the town of Rossland, with $500 popu-
latiOn, has sprung up in about a year.
About twenty-five mines are expected
to be shipping ore by the beginning of
next spring and the lie Roi and War
Eagle mines have already paid large
dividends The ore is refractory and
contains from So to S4C0 Of gold to the
ton, besides cooper, iron and little sill
YER A Smelt-T is in course OF con-
struction, and when it is completed
it will, it is said, be profitable TO mine
lower grade of ore than is now
handled.

GENTLE ART OF BEDMAKING.
But Few Hous emai,ts Understand the
FIRST Principle OF 1t.


How few persons there are who really
know how to make bed we'll.
Out of 100 housemaids ninetynine
will throw the bedclothes down over
the foot of the bed, and then throw
them up again in few minutes, says
the Philadelphia Times.
This should never be permitted.
Every article should be taken off and
laiG separately over chair and a strong
current of air should be allowed to cir
culate through the room before the
clothes are replaced. The mattress
should be turned daily and from end
to end, as this insures it being worn
more evenly, and it will not sink in the
middle, which spoils the looks of any
bed, no matter how beautiful its cover.
The new fashion of steel chain springs
is a great improvement over the heavy
old-Style spring, which when once taken
upstairs was bound to remain there a
long time. The careful housewife will
cover the springs Of her bed with linen
so that it may be taken off and washed.
This saves the mattress all chance Of
rust-marks from the metal. Clean
newspapers will answer the same pur-
pose.
It is only tha hardest sleepers who
can enjoy their slumbers when, by a
scanty supply of sheet, the blanket
scratches the face and neck Narrow
bedclothing is even worse, especially
where the barbarous custom of sleep
ing two in a bed holds good One drags
the clothes one way, the other exhausts
strength in clinging to them for dear
life and neither is comfortable
A simple remedy for :G,s discomfort
is TO place one blanket lengthwise
across the bed. In this way there is
double advantage-le weight on the
shoulders and plenty of chance for
firm tucking up. Good housemaids are
quite liable, in placing three blankets
on bed, to turn down a great piece,
giving you six on your shoulders and
not one sufficiently tucked in on the
sides.
A restless child might be prevented
from many cold if blankets were
placed across the bed. 1t Is the careful
watch of detail in home life that makes
1t differ from a hotel and nothing is
more satisfactory than well-made
bed.

The Pilot is not IN sympathy with the
movement to nominate an Independent
state ticket should the silverltes secure
control of the state convention. The
state administration has nothing to do
with national finance The honest money
men should do their best to get control
OF the convention, however, and nominate
General Bragg. He does not want the
office but will make sacrifice for priu-
ciple. Congressional conventions should
adopt platforms giving expression on ma
tlonal issues, and none but men of honor
who would refuse a nomination or an
election on a platform not in harmony
with his views should be nominated no
matter what the platform is.

WISCONSIN democratic conventions
should exercise some care in future to
determine the character of the delegates
it sends to national conventions. Messrs.
Dockery and Holgate practlced no de-
ception. They were outspoken silver
men and were chosen as such. What
ever they could do in the cause of silver
was their right and privilege. But honest
men must have a feeling of contempt for
Malone and Larson. They were elected
as advocates of sound money. Their &C
ceptance of the position was an act of
perfidy which clearly foreshadowed their
subsequent action.

The convention at Chicago nominated
Bryan OF Nebraska for President and
Sewsll of Maine for e-president. The
silverites had complete control of the
convention and carried out everything
in accordance with their wishes. Bryan
is comparatively poor man and means
well, though he is much more populist
than democrat. Sewall Is millionaire
and is therefore properly pitted against
Hobart. Both men are wealthy and en-
gagged III every line OF business which
populists denounce.

HE platform adopted by the Chicago
convention is undemocratic. That of the
st. Louis convention is certainly un-
democratic, except on the financial issue
and its candidate has not yet dared
to state his position on this question.
de has not yet said word on the tinau-
clal question which Teller might not have
said and mean. and explain why, some
