COMPARE the attitude of the Jour
mali in thus defending the excuses of
interruptions partisanship with the course
pursued by The. News in respect to the
Democratic National Convention at
Chicago, and you will have the distinc-
ton between honest Democracy and Re
publican srespectability.'
There is nothing SO bad the Republican
party can do that the most moral and
virtuous and reforming adherents of the
party will not find it good and pure. This
is why the party is so often successful.
1t sticks together through thick and
thin, and the slime of corruption only
binds its component parts more closely
together. Democrats are men of ideas.
Of independent spirit and of real devo-
ton to the people. When the party ma
chine goes astray, they at once cave it,
and cast their influence and their votes
where they will do most good.

The passage of this bill is due solely to
the persistent activity of Major Carl
Lent and Colonel Dickinson. Unaided,
they worked and hustled, and the success
won is a personal triumph for them
New York Tribune"
Let It be written in letters of fire on
the sky. so thai the people may know
whom to hold responsible.
The public thanks are due the Tribune
for guaranteeing the fact to the public.
THE legal consequences of the measure
may be curious.
Assuming that a mandamus be sued
for, to test the validity of the act, it is
exceedingly improbable that a decision
can be reached in time to hold an cleo
tlon.
1t is morally certain, however, that the
courts will pronounce the Act unleonsti-
tutional. In that case. the effect of the
proceedings will be simply to prevent a
municipal election in the fall, thus pro-
longing the terms of the present officials
TO next May.
On the other hand. if the Democracy
should abandon their test of the law, and
go into the election in November, the Re
publicans might go into court and by Sc
curing the in~validation of the law prevent
the Democratic officials elected from tax
ing office.
The scheme is an ingenious one to keep
the ms in.

Bishop Potter in North American Review.
There is no one who will not own the en-
ormous strain that comes from the pres
sure of an unremitting monotony. 1t Is to
such a monotony that our modern indus
trial life increasingly tends; and it Is to its
effects, first upon the nervous system of
men and women, and then upon their rea-
sCning and imaginative powers, that the
present unrest of the industrial classes Is
largely to be traced. 1t would seem as If
it were the part of reason and of common
humanity to recognize such facts, and to
own the appeal which they make to those
of us who have 1t in our power in any way
to aUeliorate those uHoWard conditions.
The first obstacle to be faced is profound
and widespread indifference. based, 1 be-
ieve, upon a large ignorance of the facts,
and a very superficial judgment as to any
efforts that may have been made to modify
them: and the other, Of which would that
1 had the space to speak now, is that in
creased distance and ever-enlarging ignor-
ance which. today and in this land, divide
from each other those who are differently
circumstanced. We are eating the fruits of
an irresponsible prosperity, which has
grown rich and luxury loving with a fine
indifference, too often, to the processes by
which cur wealth has been gained. What
1t has cost, what 1t is costing others, has
at the best very little concerned us. But q
day of reckoning will come and the
awakening of the privileged classes to con-
ditions in the life Of working people which
they ought long ago to have recognized
may easily be very painful and costly
one. Surely, a wiser and a nobler way will
be to seek first to recognize and to own
the conditions In our present industrial
life that need lettering, and then to touch
them with q wise and generous and fra
ternal hand.

Fortunes From Fractions.


There have teen in recent years several
instances Of sudden wealth. South Africa
and Cripple Creek have produced million
aires over night, and bicycle and patent
medicine promoter in England made ten
millions in az many weeks; but these in
stances are so rare as to be the sensa-
lions of two hemispheres.
There are several thousand people who
are each worth a million dollars or more,
and there are several more thousand who
are on the road to become millionaires. It
Is interesting to know that the most Of
these are persons who are getting their
riches on small fractions Of cent. The
street railway magnates who are rising to
millions and tens CT millions are fully sat
they collect because there are so many Of
Nem. The sugar kings have reduced the
price and improved the quality of sugar.
but as long as they get their frac-
ton on each pound the Americans buy they
can make profit all the way from twenty
to fifty per cent. The coal oil monopoly has
also reduced the price and improved the
product. but it's little fraction makes the
greatest money making enterprise in
America The man who invented the pat
ent beer stopper Is getting a bigger In
come than the President of the United
states. A cheap headache remedy Is al
lowing the proprietor to spend q hundred
another hundred thousand ftr a rainy day.
Inc railroads are getting their support from
the fractions on the ton. And SO it goes.
Inc frst thing is to get control Of some
article OF universal use, and the small frac-
ton Will do the rest. But the same prin-
c1ple runs through all business, and large
sales and small profits is the order of the
times.

4 Church Nursery"
he Church Economist lNew York cltyl.

From the Church Economist CNew York city).
The Broadway Chapel of the First Bap-
fist Church. Fall River, Mass, has church
nursery. The infant class rooms are ar
ranged SO that by opening sliding doors
they can be used as a gallery and here the
nursery is established. In one room the
sliding doors are open, SO that the mothers
who wish to stay with their babies can
nurse them without being seen, and at
the same time see and hear all the service.
In the adjoining room the babies whose
mothers are willing to leave them are kept
and cared for by the attendants. In this
room are small tables and chairs and play
things, such as used in the kindergartens.
The chapel is situated among the cotton
mills, and many of the mothers would be
unable to come at all were II not for this
provision.
The idea is becoming quite popular in
various localities, and when its utility is
once understood 1t will no doubt be widely
adopted. The expense is nominal, the ma
chinery is simple and the results are OBJ
vious.

LINCOLN At SCHOOL.
The Petty Annoyances to Which He
Was Subjected.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Austin Gollaher, the only living childhood
companion of President Lincoln, is slowly
but surely dying at his home near Hodgen-
willie, KY. Uncle AUSTIN" as he is famil-
iarly known, has reached the ripe old age
OF rinety-one years. and until very recently
has been in the best of health and spirits
Mr.. Gollaher gives some charming tales
of the martyr Presidents schoolboy DAYS
He says:
Il am the only Icing boyhood playmate
of President Lincoln / was twelve years
old ard Abe was nine when the Lincolns
moved here. and Abe and / started to school
together up there en- the hill
Abe always remained at the head of his
class, and L never knew him to be turned
down His studious habits made him a ia
vorite with the teacher, which caused a
great deal of jealousy among his classmates
toward him, and not being generally like
anyhow. il made him very unpopular At
school the boys older than himself would
tantalize the poor boy nearly out of his
senses, but he would always walk away
ana leave them dlone-not because he was
AFRAID or them, but for the fact that he
wished to avoid trouble. They would tease
MIN about his ragged clothes and snatch
mold OF them and tear them. and then run
away leaving Abe alone to patch up his
torn clothes the best he could. They would
stand back and call him hard names-they
didn dare to come in his reach. After
school hours i would often find Abe in a
fence corner, crying If his heart would
break at the mean remarks He would
never hint to his mother that his clothes
were being made fun of, knowing that 1t
would hurt her.
But finally climax was reached and
Abe was made the hero of the day 1t
happened in this way: One evening dur
ing recess the boys were teasing Abe more
than usual when of them
much larger than he walked up to him
and pushed him backward into a mud
puddle. and all the boys began to yell.
This was more than Abe could stand, and
walking over to whore the youngster Stood
he administered a severe thrashing to him.
and not one of his comrades dared to inter
fere in his behalf. Abe's temper was up
now. and going over to the other boys. he
dared any one to speak. and you can just
bet that they kept silent.
I'm the summer time Abe would work
hard through the day and at night would
heap brush upon log and start a fire.

queen Ellzabeth's love of sumptuous ap-
parel, indeed. grew with her years, and the
leading fashions Of the courts of Europe
furnished her with designs for new dresses,
which she would continually cast aside for
others such as her fancy might suggest
On all occasions she dressed in the richest
costumes. adorned with brilliants, precious
tones, and jewelry Of the rarest workman

dress like young girl afraid of nothing
SO much as of being thought old. Upon
the subject OF her personal beauty she
would smilingly accept the most extrava-
giant flattery," says Carte however full

Paul Hentzner saw her she was in her
sixty-seventh year; being a German, he
observed her with an eye wholly unclouded
which hedges round a monarch. Indeed, he
was so ungallant as to jot down in his note
book that Queen Elizabeth wore q wig,
and that red! He goes on to remark that
sne hao IN ner ears two pearls with very
rich drops, and that her bosom was un-
covered.
She was dressed in white silk bordered
with pearls Of the size Of BEANS and over
It mantle of black silk. shot with silver
threads; instead of chain she had on an
oblong collar Of gold and jewels. He adds
that wherever she turned her face every
one fell upon his knees''-an act of homage
which on state occasions had been paid
to her father. and Elizabeth never forgot.
or allowed others to forget, that she was
the daughter Of Henry VIII. Carte, volume
III. page 701. says: elizabeth was pleas
ant in conversation. graceful and active in
all exercises, whether on foot or on horse
back; and danced extremely fine; even in
the last year of her life she danced La
Galliarde with the Duke of Movers; she
did it with such an attitude and grace that
everybody was struck with admiration"

Nutritivc Value of Sugar.
e New York Medical Record.

From the New York Medical Record.
Experiments of an interesting nature
have lately been made at the instigation of
the Prussian war office to endeavor TO de-
eide the question as to whether the con-
sumption of small quantities of sugar rem
ders the tired muscles capable of renewed
exertion. In order to obtain a practical
result, the person who was made the sub
ject of the experiment was kept totally
ignorant of the object of the experiment.
ers On one day a sweet liquid was ad-
ministered, containing thirty grams of
sugar: on the next day a similar LIQUID,
containing a sufficient amount of sac
charine TO render il indistinguishable from
the other as regarded taste. After a very
large amount of muscular work had been
performed, il was found that better results
could be obtained on the days when the
sugar was given than on the days when
saccharine was given. The blood had be-
come very poor in sugar in consequence Of
the severe muscular effort. and the admin
istration of a comparatively small guam
tity of sugar had markedly invigorating
effect.

Il frequently heard from Abe after he
left La Rue county, but for several years
previous to his nomination for President
our intercourse ceased entirely When l
heard that he had been nominated my
heart bounded with joy, and it did me
good TO vote for him. When the news

thought that maybe he thought he was too

The EvangeIistic Meetings Will Be
a Feature This Year.
WILL "A ST THREE DAYS

The evangelistic meetings as a feature
of District Christian Endeavor conventions
is a new thing this year. The board of di-
rectors hope by means Of these services
to bring to the attention of Endeavorers
the methods and needs of such work.
OF Maj. Hilton, who will address these
meetings. the Union Signal says: Maj.
Hilton appeals to the reason and common
sense rather than to the emotions. The
sensational is conspicuously absent from
his meetings, while his own intense con-
victions and clear conception of spiritual
truth. united with magnetic personality,
invest him with an eloquence and power
which Is truly wonderful. Both as an
evangelist and lecturer he never fails to
leave a lasting impression for good
A cordial invitation is extended, espe-
cally to the noon meeting, to all, but par
ticularly to business men and clerks.
