The way the English newspapers
talk about this country is puerile
and ridiculous. 1t begins to look
as if there were serious weaken
ing of the English mind. Here
are few words from Vanity Fair,
a leading newspaper:
1t looks as if we must do some
thing to suppress the Yankees:
Unless the constant annoyance of
Washington ceases, gunpowder
may have to be used. We hope
the matter will be settled, as we do
not want to see the United States
put back many years, nor are we
anxious to make history for them.
The eagles voice is far stronger
than its beak, and bigger than its
courage.
Well, don't poke the eagle with
your umbrella stick. he might not
like it.-Wetzel Democrat.

BeautifuI Sea Shells.

Every one admires them. Since

people for sea shell, and nowI am
prepared to answer yes. 1 can send
you shells, for I have made quite
a collection of lovely shells, both
from our own coast, the coral reefs,
and some beautiful ones from the
West India Islands. I will mail a
dozen or more different kinds, no
two alike, to any one who sends a

Keen the Enemx in Front.

William j. Bryan, in a recent
address, gave the watchword for
the Democratic party when he
said: Keep the enemy in front. +"
In politics as in war, it is the part
of good generalship to avoid being
fanked. An attack both in the
front and rear means disaster. The
Democratic party in 1896 pledged
itself to the promotion and defense
of bimetalIism, and proved the
sincerity of its convictions by cast
ing 100000 votes for William j.
Bryan, the representative of the
great principle to which the party
had given its adherence. Let no
side issue supplant the real issue
that, above all, concerns the peo-
Piles welfare-the question of BIZ
metallism. Then you will keep
the enemy to the front"

1 Frederick. J.. Brown, Of Baltimore,
sunpDT6 With btatiSEics the clAimthHt,
eoltfAty to tho we've held by censA
otdetAAA, the trendlofeolore dmtGrauoh
- from the southern to the northern
states, sAys N exchange. This
migration, he .thinks,, l. on tho in
crease. He inda from q Atudy|o f the
natural increase of the eolored popula-
ton that the rate decreases as one goes
from the south to the north. Thus,
while it is Is per cent. in ten years in
Florida, in South Carolina and Georgia
it is 1914, in North Carolina 1871,
in the border states GA, and in
the northern states 81 OF pos
.sibly less. But the actual rate
OF the increase of the colored. popula-
ton of the north in ten years was nearly
II per cent, and the difference between
this and the rate of neutral increase is
Inscribed by Mr.. Brown to migration
from the south. Mr.. Brown also shows
that there are great inequalities in the
distribution of the colored people in
the south. In some sections the negroes
enormously outnumber the whites, as
in South Carolina and along the M:ss;s-
sinni from Memphis nearly TO New Or
leans, and in these sections the dispar-
itv IS increasing. In other sections the
negro is almost NONRESIDENT, averaging
only II Per cent. of the total popula-
ton. This is notably true Of nearly
onc-half of the state of Texas. It is
further pointed out that in these sec
tions the white population is increas-
ing faster than the average.
