While Bicycle Riding He Meets with a
Painful Accident.
Former Congressman Bourke Cock
ran, while out for a spin on his wheel
the other morning in New York, met
with an accident that is likely to con-
fine him to his bed for some time at
least. When the accident occurred Mr..
Cochran was on the west drive at Sixty
sixth street when a young man, H. r.
Kendall, fell just in front of him. Mr..
Cochran was too near to swerve to one
side and he was thrown headlong. He
turned nearly a complete somersault
and landed heavily on his left side. The
park ambulance was called and Mr.
Cochran was taken TO Roosevelt hospi-
tai, from where DR.. Goldsmith, the am
bulance surgeon, finding that his in
juries were apparently not very serious,
he was taken in the ambulance to his
apartments at the Holland house. 1t is
possible, DIR. Goldsmith says, that he
has received fracture of the thigh
bone. Mr.. Cochran had intended to sail
for Europe soon, but at best his trip
will likely be postponed for some time.

The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi
nese Thibet.
An amusing story is told of the Eng
lish officer who determined to enter
Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man.
aged to cross the frontier at night. and
SO escaped the guard. =
On the following day, however, while
the officer was journeying deeper into
Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook
him, and informed him that as the
country was unsafe because of rob-
bers, they would go with him in order
to protect him, to which arrangement
the traveller was compelled, to agree.
In few hours they came to river,
which was crossed by rope bridge.
The Thibetans passed over first, in or
der to show that the bridge was safe,
and then the official got into the moose
and was pulled along by the Thibetans,
Suddenly, however, they ceased pull
ing, and left the Englishman hanging
in midair above the rushing torrent.
In vain the officer shouted to the
Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked
and nodded their heads. The hours
passed, and still the officer hung above
the torrent. At last the Thibetans
agreed to pull him back if he would
leave Tibet Immediately. This, of
course, he was compelled to do, and
took his departure from the forbidden
land

An Awkward Mistake.

Henry Labouchere tells of an awk-
ward mistake he made about De Per-
signy, Napoleon's right-hand man and
the maker of the second empire" His
appearance was plebeian, and when the
London editor saw him at an evening
reception he took him for waiter and
asked for cup of tea. "De Persigny
spontaneously went for it" says Mr..
Labouchere, land was knocked into a
heap at seeing his grand Gordon of tho

fusion and got into rafting chat with

HAD BEGUN TO PROSPER.
A Pathetically Humorous Story Told of .
Cumberland Mountain Farmer.


Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
A writer in the Detroit Free Press
tells pathetically humorous story of
friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber.
land farmer. The writer had lent Jack
few dollars, with which to buy pair
of steers, and had received from him
many visits of apology; for Jack was
an honest man. and did not enjoy being
in debt. .. ~
He was a renter, and at least every
other season he was occupying a diff
ferent farm. By my advice, he had
moved the year before into an entirely
new field, dozen miles from his usual
several months. When 1 did see him,
at last, it was by accident as business
called me into his neighborhood. AS
I rode past his place he hailed me from
the corn-feld and came out to the fence.
"Hello," I exclaimed. rs this your
farm?"
Eyes, and jist come over to tell you,
colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part
of that claim Nv your'n afore long"
you must be doing well?"
II think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm
powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer
headin' me this way"

why come away over here so fer frum
home. Hits kinder strange to me, but
sz long ez I'm doin' ez well ez am I'm
a-goin' to stand hit"
"Are you making any money!"
Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
mo, I amt, colonel" he replied, hope
fully; ''but I'm losin' it slower'n ever
done in my life afore."
1t struck me as rather odd at first, but
upon reflection concluded that Jim
might have reason for his hopefulness.

STAGNANT INDUSTRIES.
Eastern Concerns Crippled by the Demo
cratic Tarin.

The depression in the great industrial
interests continues, and will do so until
adequate relief is obtained by the enact
ment of properly protective tariff law
Reports from the great manufacturing
centers of the east show an enormous
aggregate suspension OF work, or of re-
duction in the number sof hands en-
ployed, and also of the amount of wages
paid.
These facts once more demonstrate
the fallacy of the democratic promise
that free raw materials would give pros
perity to the manufacturing interests.
The Wilson law allows wool to come in
free, but the wooden industry is not pros.
porous. Below is given n few sample
cases from among a large number OF
reports recently received at New York,
and among them will he found a number
of establishments whose raw material
is wool:

A POLITICAL STRAW.
showing Which Way the Trade wind
Blows In the West.


A hundred statesmen travelling for ono
Of the largest mercantile establish
ments in Chicago report that since the
nomination OF Mckinley at St. Louis
became almost certainty their sales
have been larger than in any two weeks
for several years. These sales have been
in goods for the fall trade and they in
dictate the almost universal belief in
the western states that the nominal
ton of man like Mckinley will be the
beginning of good times This feeling
is not confined to merchants and deal
ers who are republicans, but extends
TO those who are democrats. This is
one case OF many, and just at time
when one class of eastern business men
is intriguing to prejudice the case of
Mckinley, all such cases become sig
nincant, and they carry with their rec
ord of confidence on the part of the
people warning to eastern men who
are indifferent to or hostile TO western
sentiment
With good crops and commercial ac-
tivity and confidence in the future the
current in the west will turn toward
prosperity. Those who have advised
that certain money.,d men combine to
precipitate panic TO influence the
choice of the st. Lofts convention may
find in the tone of business sentiment
in the west. as well as in the tone of po-
itical sentiment, food for reflection
The country cannot be prosperous with
the interests of only one section pro-
NOTED. The east depends as much upon
the west as the west depends upon the
east. The true policy is one that con-
siders the interests of both and that
contemplates the least possible hostil-
ity between the two sections.
The republican party is strongest in
the great middle. western and north
western states. These states are too
strong TO be flouted at or antagoniZed
in any special interest. The republic
ans of these states are of the stalwart
but conservative spirit. They can be
reasoned with and influenced. but they
cannot be browbeaten or influenced by
threiSe or arbitrary conditions. They
believe thoroughly in the principles of
the republican party. They believe
that with the candidate thoroughly rep
rescntativc of these principles the re-
publican party will win great victory
and the country will be restored TO
prosperity.
The report of the 100 statesmen is n
straw showing which way the wind
is blowing in the west. They are nearer
the people than are the men of Wall
street, and there is no artifcialitv of
sentiment and no color of prejudice or
luminosity about their business transac.

LINCOLN AND m.krnLsv
me ohiosn IL Pursuing the Same Co.r.
Under similar Circumstances.


Those who are old enough TO reme,.
per the campaign of 1850 will recall the
TACT that previous to the Chicago con
vention the political interropators
were after Lincoln just as they are now
after Mckinley. They insisted that he
should define his position on the fupi-
tive slave law and tell what he would
do in the event of the secession of the
south. Their pretended anxiety abou.
MS views in those respects was simply
trlck. OF course, to draw expression,
from him that could be used to his dis
advantage. But the device did not
work. He was politician of too much
sense and experience to be caught in
such trap. In answer to all Inquiries
OF that sort, he pointed to his record.
ana said he must be judged by it as to
ms opinions and purposes. He under
stood very well that the persons who
thus questioned him were not honestly
seeking information or striving to serve
the party or the country. but only try
ing To prevent his nomination. They
called him a straddler and accused him
OF cowaTdice and insincerity, but he
preserved an amiable silence, neverthe-
less, and left his case to the people. The
result proved that there had not been
any necessity for him IN speak; and
certainly there was never any cause for
regret that he was nominated and
elected.
The fact that Mckinley is now pursu-
ing the same course under similar cir
cumstances only goes to show that he Is
like Lincoln in the way of detecting the
object OF his interrogators and dcciin-
ing to assist them in accomplishing II.
lie has been n conspicuous figure in
public life for many years. and there is
no lack of testimony in his numerous
speeches as to his views upon all i'm
portant issues. The people know all
about him and ASe entirely willing TO
trust him. There is nothing for him to
say that would he likely to make the
country any surer that he is n man of
ability, integrity and patriotism; and
his self-respecting refusal to CRAFTY
his opponents by answering their i'm
pertinent questions will confirm and
increase the public feeling in his favor
lie has perfect right to "hold his
BREATH, as it is flippantly called by a
democratic organ, and as n matter of
propriety, he cannot do otherwise. II
would be decidedly in bad taste for him
to assume the function of outlining "A
platform for his party. That is tine
business of the convention, and he has
nothing TO do with it. There is not the
least danger that he will fail to abide in
good faith by the action of that body on
all pending questions; and there is inst
rs little reason to doubt that the ST.
Louis platform will be perfectly salts
factory in every way to the voters who
are gong to elect the next president
That is the appropriate and conclusive
answer TO all inquiries that are obvious
ly intended to serve a dishonest and
mischievous purpose.-St. Louis Globe
