Congressman Joseph w. Bailey.
Of Texas, the House leader of the
Democracy, has come out fatty
for the denomination of William
Jennings Bryan for President in
1900. This is an announcement
of considerable political import
ance, coming from the source 1t
does. Mr.. Bailey has just return
ed from a stumping tour through
the First Congressional District
of Missouri, and has felt the pulse
Of the Democracy of that state
besides having recent close rela-
tionship with Democratic leaders
from all parts of the country.
ut seems to be the almost
unanimous opinion Of the Dem
ocrats with whom | have been
brought in contact personally and
otherwise said Mr.. Bailey, that
the Democratic party should
commit itself unreservedlv to
the re adoption of the Cbicaco
platform of 1896. The almost
universal desire appears to be to
add nothing TO and suhtract moth
ing from that PLATFORM but 70
accept it without qualification or
reservation as the princinles of
the Democratic partv for 1900
1t will be impossible to disease.

Crete and Its Natives.

The peculiarly favorable position Of the
island, situated at the junction of three
continents, as 10 were, and commanding
the coasts of oil three, has invested it
from the earliest times with an import
ance such as neither Sicily, Sardinia. nor
Cyprus, although much larger in area,
ever attained. While forming in prehis-
tOric times "a stepping stone for Egyptian
and Asiatic civilization in its progress
toward the shores of Greece, Crete re-
mained throughout antiquity singularly
free from any close political connection
with Egypt, Asia, or Greece. This in
sularity is to this day one OF the marked
characteristics Of tho Cretan people; and
without accepting the view that they are
the purost descendants extant of the
Helencs of the eighth century, Il. c.,
we must regard them nevertheless as one
of the most interesting branches of the
Greek race. Unfortunately, the gravest
defects of the ancient Greek character
were nowhereNso pronounced as in Crete; (;
and we are told that its history through.
out antiquity was one continuous chain
of civil strife, carried on with savage
ness ana bitterness of animosity exceeding
all that was known in the rest of Greece.
This political depravity was attended by

Pbotographing from Kites.

William A. Eddy writes on this subject
in the May Century his article being
one of three on "Scientific Kite Flying"
Mr. Eddy says: The rush of light into
camera high in tho air Is apt TO cause
overexposure; and when very high alti-
tude Is attained above smoky city, the
buildings photographed are not so clear as
those taken when the camera is nearer the
roofs. In some instances the foreground
will be perfectly clear while the distance
seems To suffer from slight waver Of the
camera. Sometimes the ground appears
to be whirling, giving only fragmentary
glimpses of objects, while in extreme
cases there Is nothing but u rotary streak.
Occasional maplike vertical views are de-
sirable yet IL Is usually better Co get per-
spective horizontal view which Is more
interesting. The midair camera even with
an ordinary lens, makes buildings and
scenes look not so far away as they are.

A DISAPPOINTED BAND. MASTER.
Gen Grant Did Not Appreciate a Daily
Serenade.

In the May Century" General Horace
Porter's Campaigning with Grant"
deals with the "Siege of Petersburg and
Raids on Washington" General Porter
relates the following anecdote of Grant.
Earthworks had been thrown across the
neck of land upon which City Point Is
located. This intrenched line ran from n
point on the James TO point on
the Appomattox river. A small gar
rison had been detailed for its. de-
fense, and tho commanding officer wish
ing To do something that would afford
the general-in-chief special delight ar
ranged to send the band over to the
headquarters camp to play for him while
he was in blissful ignorance of the fact
that to the general the appreciation of
music was lacking sense and the
musician s score q sealed book
About the third evening after the band
had begun its performances, the general,
while sitting at the mess table, remarked:
I've noticed that that band always be-
gins its noisa just about the time / am
sitting down to dinner and want 10 talk "
Offered To go and make an effort to sup
press it, and sec whether it would obey
an order To cease firing" and my SER
vices were promptly accepted. The men
were gorgeously uniformed, and the band
seemed To embrace every sort of brass in
strument ever invented, from a diminu-
bass horn. The performer who played tho
latter instrument was ENGAGED within its
ample twists and looked like man stand.
ing inside tho coils of WHISKY still.
Tho broad belted bandmaster was pulling
with all the vigor Of quack medicine
advertisement, his eyes were riveted
upon the music and it was not an easy
task to attract his attention. Like a
sperm whale, he had come up TO blow, and
was not going TO be put down till he had
finished; but finally he was made TO
understand that, like the hand organ man,
he was desired TO move on. With look
OF disinheritance on his countenance he at
last marched Off his band TO It's camp.
On my return the general said: II fear
that bandmasters feelings have been
hurt, but did't want him To be wasting
his time upon person who has no ear
for music" A staff officer remarked
well, general, you were at least much
more considerate than Commodore -,
who, the day he came to take command of
his vessel. and was seated at dinner in the
capin, heard music on deck, and inme-
diately sent for the executive officer, and
said to him; Have the instruments and
men of that band thrown overheard at

Mr. Taranter, who Is salesman at

pockets of his clothing had been rifled.

Nobody ever before suspected Mr.. Cleyc
land Of being a humorist. Upon no other
theory, however, is Ii possible TO explain
his assertion made in his New York
speech the other night, that his party
defends the humble toiler against op-
pressivc exactions in his home and invites
him to the utmost enjoyment of the
fruits of industry, economy and thrift. -
The experience of the humble tolor'
since Mr.. Cleveland camc TO Office -four
years ago will hardly enable him to agree
with that gentleman in this statement.
