A correspondent in Idaho asks
the best method of cleaning quick
silver. Some put water on top and
dissolve cyanide of potassium in it
and then stir up the quicksilver.
Concentrated I've or pilute sulphur
ic or nitric acid are often used.
The best thing to do is retort it if it
becomes very foul. A method is
given for cleaning where electricity
may be obtained. Take a fiat earth
ern vessel, pour sulphate of soda So
luton into it and lay long strip of
lead across it which can be bent in
the center. Into this vessel place
a semi-spherical, nonglazed earth
enware basin, large enough to fit the
bottom vessel, and into this pour the
quicksilver with a little water
Put the positive wire in contact
with the lead strip, and the mega
tive wire with the quicksilver. The
quicksilver will soon be frightened

Speaking of Mr.. Bryan's coming
visit to California, the Oakland En-
quirer (Republican) says: "He does
not aim to teach new thing, but to
insist upon the old. The very object
of his mission is to see that the issue Of
the last Presidential campaign does
not slip away and come to be replaced
by another, as it is very likely to,
whatever Mr.. Bryan may say" The
wish is father to the thought. The
Republican party is committed to the
single gold standard and welded to
trusts and other corporate powers, and
does not want the issue Of free silver
fought over again. well knowing that
as in the case Of tariff reform, educa-
ton along the line has opened the
eyes Of the people and made the fnan
cia1 question the one of paramount
importance in the politics of this
nation. Mr.. Bryan is only voicing
the sentiment of large majority of
the people OF the United States, whose
idol he is, and they hope that by falsi-
fication and Misrepresentation to de-
feat him for the leadership in 1900.
The fiat has gone forth however, and
no effort the opposition press can put
forth will avail against him.

The proposed tax on beer is an ideal
method OF raising revenue. 1t would
yield at the very least 100000 OF
revenue without adding single cent
to The price now paid by consumers.
1t would simply compel the great
aggregation Of wealth, engaged In the
brewing business, to contribute its fair
share toward the support Of the gov
eminent But this concrete wealth
helped to Gil Mr. Hanna,s Golfers last
fall, and now Mr.. Hanna comes to its
rescue and serves notice upon Congress
that the increased tax on beer must be
stricken out of the new revenue bill
before it can pass. OF course no one
can blame Hanna. If he sold the
brewers an exemption from certain
taxes he should try to make good his
part OF the bargain.

A railroad detective who travels al

tramps now on the road exceeds any
thug he has ever seen. He says it is
not fair to call them tramps for they

in question makes the almost incred-
ible statement that he counted 1877

The great piece of tariff legislation
framed on supposition that our man

for manufactured goods have been
captured by the manufacturers of
Europe, when, as matter OF fact, I hey
suffer because the markets have dried
up, can, therefore, profit our man,

into law cannot bring them the longed
for prosperity, for prosperity can only
follow an increased and sustained de-
mand for manufactured goods such as
can never come until our agriculturists,
getting more money for the products
of their labor, will have more money,
save as the result of abnormal condi-
tions, SO long as they are obliged to
compete in the European markets,
where they must dispose OF their sur.
plus products, with competitors en-
joying bounty on exports to gold
using Europe, in the shape OF prem

divergence in value of gold and silver,
and amounting at this time to more
than Hooper cent. And as this bounty
was built up by our abandonment OF
bimetalism, and can only be restored
by restoration of bimetalism, it is i'm

The sentiment of the convention
was almost Overwhelmingly for
Bryan. Every reference to Bryan's
name was greeted with lusty cheer
ing. His picture was repeatedly
displayed, and every time an orator
pointed toward it there was great
applause. There was no quarter
given to the gold Democrats. The
silver element of the party had its
way in all the proceedings, In point
of numbers it was one of the largest
Democratic conventions ever held
in Iowa, and in point of enthusiasm
it compared favorably with any o.
them.
The platform adopted strongly
indorses the national platform ad
opted at Chicago, with especial EN-.
phasls on the financial plank.
; This section of the platform con
cludes as follows:
"And we enter into the first cam
paign after the great battle Of The
; people against the combined corpor
ate and money power, in which tina
} peerless statesman and patriot, VIM
