State. The sentiment favoring
a reunion is daily growing more
popular and more pronounced
and there does not seem to be any
serious obstacle to such a con-
summation. In the last campaign,
the proposition submitted to the
Republicans of Idaho was this
Shall State and Nation be turned
over to the Democracy because
the Republican party refuses to
declare for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver? That was the
proposition as it presented itself
before the Chicago convention.
Afterwards the Democracy de-
clared for silver, which added a
positive incentive to radical silver
men to abandon the Republican
party and unite with the Demo-
Gratis. When we analyze the
feeling of honest Republicans in
respect of the issue, it will be
found that there was no funda-
mental, fixed and irreconcilable
difference. Those who supported
Bryan did SO on the principal of
eypediency, for temporary and
specific purpose. They believed
that no real prosperity could come
until the money function was
fully restored to silver, equal with
gold; that an opportunity favor
able to the accomplishment of that
end was present, and that the
damage naturally resulting from
a continuance of Democratic |
policy, in general, would be more
than compensated for by the
benefits of free coinage. The
further thought was that silver
-ehabilitated would never again
De disturbed, and afterwards the
party would reunite for the pur-
pose of promoting and establish
ng Republican principles. A
great many Republicans took
liferent view, and believed that
o continue the Democracy in
power would intensity and per-
'etuate the deplorable conditions
hen existing and promising to
illuminate in universal and ire
parable disaster. They felt that
''~r first duty was to be we'll rid
# everything Democratic. They
new by experience that the
)c nocratic party never promised /
good measure without failure to
llill, and never undertook a bad
ne without attaining a brilliant
nd ruinous success. The Re-
nblicans who refused to embrace
'ryanism with all its benevolent
To.nises, took a hard headed, l
tactical view Of the situation. ]
hey reasoned that for four years /

:; that for two years it had en- t

do so. But instead of doing t
'ything for silver, the Demo f
sic congress, under lash of a n
emocratic President, wiped out il

PROBLEMS OF BoMBAROMENT. Elevation of Moro and Punta Pre-
 sent Embarrassing Features.

Washington. D. C.. April 22.-The proP.em of the bOmbardment of the fGf, of Moro and Punta is presenting sine embarrassing features. The Moro stands high upon point POO feet above the sea level. To shell it the guns will require such a high elevation as may cause the decks of the vessels carrying S-inch guns and the l2-inch guns to feel the effects of the recOil most seriously. Modern heavy guns of the built-up class have never been tested in action. Their qualities and faults must be de- veloped by the supreme trial of battle.
 The American fleet can stand out at sea seven miles and shell all the sea front forts of Havana with ease. By means of one of the most wonderful small devices of modern times the range can be found at one or two shots. no matter what may be the distance. This is accomplished by the range tinder.' which all men-Of-war carry now. The heaviest guns that will be opposed to the American fleet are the s and l0-inch Krupp rifles mounted in the works of Punta. fronting the sea. There are two batteries of them. six guns to each. of uniform caliber. The lO-inch krupps are in the usual em- placements. while the lighter battery has disappearing carriages. The en- tire scientific military world is watch ing this fight with the United States and Spain with deepest interest.

 The Post is closer to the ministry than any other newspaper in Great Britain and has upon previous occasions semi-otficially announced the govern ment's intentions during pending crises.

 Recognition of the spirit of the decla-' ration of Paris will be urged upon both the United States and Spain.

And I amt never seen no one
As smart as he Is yet.
Why. he knows everything almost.
But mamma says that he

And that surprises me.
And often papa talks about
How he must work away
He's got to toll for other folks

And that's thing that bothers me
When he's so good and great,

He knows the names OF lots OF stars.
And he knows all the trees,
And he can tell the different kinds

And he can multiply and add

But bet you they are dead.

strums on it with his right forefnger
while he is debating to stenographer.
He cannot get to work until he has his
rubber band and begins to play on it.
Actors public speakers are especial
ly given to these nervous habits.
There is criminal lawyer in Chicago
who cannot address a jury unless he has
a folded newspaper in his right hand.
He grips this paper, bends it between
his hands and smites his left palm with
it, When he finishes his speech the
newspaper is n rumpled wreck.
Some of the most peculiar instances
of this kind of habit are found on the
stage. Charley Case, the variety actor
who does very funny monologue, car

pulls at this bit of cloth and turns It
over and over every second of the time
while he is talking or singing. He could
not do his speciality unless he had some
thing to twist between his fingers. for
he has natural hesitancy Of speech.
1t is related Of John j. Burke, who
used to'be the comedian of the Ameri-
can Extravaganza company at the Chi
cago opera house, that he could not talk,
except when he could turn q button with
his fingers.
Of the stage he suffered so badly
that he could hardly make himself un-
derstood. In fact, II was matter Of
constant wonder. among those who met
him off the stage, that he could master
his infirmity when he was in front Of
the footlights. Many persons who had
seen him on the stage and afterward
met him in his street clothes and lis
tened to his fearful and picturesque
stammering would not believe that he
was the Same John j. Burke at all. In

TO HELP THEM THINK.

IT IS A well-known fact that many
4 persons who are subjected to nerv-
Gus strains or compelled to apply them
selves intently in their business or pro-
fessional duties find relief in some sort
of unconscious muscular eXertion.
You have seen the man who rubs his
hands all the time or else cracks his
knuckles. Another man will tug at his
mustache while in deep thought.
1t is common for business men to
draw pictures or make elaborate scrolls
and scrawls on their desk pads while
they are discussing some important
proposition. 1t may be remembered
that the directors of the worlds fair
left their hall one day after deciding
upon policy which involved the ex-
penditure of several millions of dollars.
A man went into the hall just after their
departure and found the long table COW
cred with rude drawings of men, cats,
dogs and houses, to say nothing of
elaborate Spencerian exercises, wagon
wheels and the like. The great men had
relieved the tension of the business by
making these childish figures.
There is one Chicago millionaire who
tears paper into small bits while he is
talking to caller. Another whittles
incessantly. One of his employees is
specially directed TO keep him supplied
with pine sticks of straight grain.

San Francisco. July 20.-Mail advices re- ceiyed in this city from Guatemala contain news to the effect that the pending rebel lion in the South American republic, has reached alarming proportions. Prospero Morales one of the leaders of the last up- rising, is said to be plotting to carry the forthcoming elections and, if possible as- sume the reins of the government. Nor ales is gathering an army about him and collecting arms and ammunition.

DR. \. M. BROWNS
 GOOD LUCK
Will Receive Appointment as Immune Surgeon at
 Santiago.

Dr. A. M. Brown, the well known colored physician of this city, left this morning via the Southern railway for Washington in response to a telegram informing him that Surgeon General Stanburg, of the United States army would appoint him an immune surgeon at Santiago.
 The telegram was from Dr. A. M. Curtis, surgeon in charge of the Freedmans hos pital and read as follows:
 "A. M. Brown, Birmingham, Ala.
 Surgeon General will appoint you im- mune surgeon at Santiago
 Must report at once.
 .Dr. A. M. Curtis.' Whether or not the appointment would be a regimental one Dr. Brown was unable to say although he was of the opinion that it would be and that he would be incharge of one of the colored regiments which will be stationed at Santiago.
 Dr. Brown is a graduate of the Uniyer- sity of Michigan, at Ann Harbor, and Of Lincoln University, of Pennsylvania.
 For the past seven years he has resided in Birmingham and has built up quite a lucrative practice among his race. He has taken an active interest in all questions pertaining to the upbuilding and advance ment of his people and enjoys the respect of the white people of the city.
 He is much elated at his good fortune and expects to receive his commission as soon as he arrives in Washington and will at once enter upon his duties.
