WATSON IS INDIGNANT Would Lay His Head on
 the Block. Before He Would Retire From
 the Race.
Believes There Is a Chance to Elect Bryan If Sewal Would Give
 Up the Race.

In regard to his retiring from the race for the presidency, Tom Wat son in recent interview, said:
 'I'd lay my head on the block be fore I'd retire from the race to make way for plutocrat, bondholder, a National banker and protectionist like MT. Sewall.
 "If MT. Sewall is willing to get off the ticket I believe that even now there is chance to elect Mir. Bryan" said MT. Watson "Mr. Bryan and could at once make tour together and in- side of ten days we might restore thou sands of votes.
 "I will remain on the ticket until the last ballot is cast" exclaimed MT. Watson. 'fWhen the election is over I will go back to my party and they will know then that the trust commit ted into my hands has not been be- trayed. have been shamefully treat ed, but am not afraid to do my duty. I represent great political party and was regularly nominated for the office of vice-president by my party in Ma tional convention. Think of how l have been used! Think of the hu- initiation of having to beg in public for a formal notification of my nomina- tion! Think of the indignity of being asked to abandon the cause of my party for the sake of a fellow like Se- wall!
 ''No, I will not retire. I intend to vote for MT. Bryan and do all in my power to elect him, but. want to warn the free silver Democrats of the coun- try that they cannot hope to secure enough votes from the Populists to elect MT. Bryan by reviling and derid- ing their candidate. I represent men who pray before they fight, men who have no lust for office, men who have sacrificed everything for principle and have withstood ridicule, misrepre- sentation and ostracism for conscience sake. You cannot laugh down a cause for which 1,S00,000 men have cast their votes.
 These men are beginning to realize that their party has been sold out. Il has been fused away. Unless they are treated fairly and respectfully by the free silver Democrats thousands ot men will stay away from the polls ir November. Already the PopuEst pa pers which are endorsing fusion in thu west are losing circulation and thos, which are fighting it are gaining circu lation. Senator Buffers paper is los ing rapidly, SO is Senator Stewart, Silver Knight. But the Populist ed dtors in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, In diana, Kansas and other states wht are opposing the surrender of the Pop ulist party ito the Democrats find thei circulation is increasing at a yer, rapid rate. That tells the story"

snowballs Rolled by the Wind.

Passengers on the Flint River divi- sion of the Flint & Pere Marquette rail- road who came to Flint. Mich. recently reported observing a strange phenom- enon in large, level fields not far from the city, says the Chicago Tribune. Hundreds of snowballs, some of them of colossal size, have been rolled to- gether, it is thought, by the action of the wind. The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top Of the mountains, fully nine miles, and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.

The Combination of Trade and Private
 War Under Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar itime war both before and after the Armada, and hestruggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisition and give it back to the free use of the human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal growths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

Pennies Not Legal Ponder in Amounts Of

Pennies Not Legal Ponder in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Gents.
 There is a postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal number of pennies. Here was good chance for the authoritative gentleman, and with view of teaching his impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap, handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the would-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With a malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't IF" Certainly" said the man at the window. 'Then give me one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at the window, but the obdurate buyer kept on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered te arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

The Papsgoes living in the vicinity of the Coyote mountains, a northern ex. tension of the Boboquivaris, are buying suspiclouslv large quantities of arms and ammunition.

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.

A Native Offers an Explanation-Britain
 Naval Superiority.
 How was it that kalf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous Spirit, their capacity to colonize, to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover- eighty of the narrow seas was asserted and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions in Europe dwindled I away. The drill sergeant, who is the artifcer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have Rot risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval i superiority has been the guarantee o1 our shores, and at the same time ths foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements | and empires abroad .

 Everyone who has ''done" the Louvre will remember the low-pitched and somewhat gloomy halls in which are stored the treasures of Egypt. Beneath these lie yet more darlly mysterious vaults, inaccessible to the public, though approached by wide and hand some staircase, such as would lead one to imagine that it communicated with apartments of some importance. Yet one finds at the bottom nothing but broad passages disposed in the form of cross, and without any sign what ever of door or window
 A recent examination, however, of the solid walls gives experts reason to believe that the masonry IS more recent than the rest of the structure in this, the oldest portion of the fortress pal ace. M. Vaugneux, a Well-known critic. believes that many of the bodies of victims killed in the revolution of 1890 were immured here, and that the gov ernment was afraid to reveal the facts 1 when the remains of their comrades were collected beneath the Colonne de 1 Juliet.
 'On the other hand, M. Blondel, the architect of the building, and M. Nor mand, the secretary of the Society for Protecting Parisian Monuments, hold the opinion that these subterranean passages led to the oubliettes into which Catherine de Medicis cast those who were unfortunate enough to incur her hate or fear. A judicious eXplora- tion would clear up the matter, and settle, too, several doubtful points as to the foundations of Lescot's original citadel Unfortunately, the annual grant does not provide for any such archaeological research, and it would be necessary to appeal for funds to the generosity of the chamber-London Chronicle.

Frederick Douglas, the orator and patriot, is credited with saying: MT. Lincoln is the only white man with whom I have ever talked, or in whose presence I have ever been, who did not consciously or unconsciously betray to me that he recognized nay color ! George Bancroft, the historian, al 1uding to this chara oteristic, which was never so conspicuouA,y manifested as during the darker days of the war beautifully illustrates it in these mem, orable words: As a child, in dark night, on rugged way, catching hold of the hand of it's father for guidance and support, Lincoln chung fast to the hand of the people and moved calmly through the gloom
