Elk CONGRESSMAN STEPHENSON, of
Marinette, says he forgot all about his
bill of campaign expenditures. He
furthermore states that he considers
the law unconstitutional, but being a
law abiding citizens, will cheerfully
pay the penalty if necessary. The
very frank way in which Mr.. Stephen
son speaks of his temporary lapse of
memory is very amusing. The size of
his hotel bill he does not forget nor the
amount of Assemblyman Bakers bill
for chewing gum. He also retains a
vague impression that his cigars were
the most popular at the capital at that
time. Outside of these several items
Mr.. Stephenson says he could not make
a bill of expenses. He might have sent
in bill of these and in some manner
excused its hardness, but his honesty
in the matter was as novel as the rest
of it. It should be rewarded by a sus-
pension of the law in his case.

Col. Watterson's Vision.

As in dream or vision our esteemed
old friend, Col. HENRY WATTERsoN sees
brighter days ahead for the Democracy.
Things are bad at present. Feud and fac
ton and mistaken policies have brought
the party TO what the Courier-journnI con-
fesses is indeed "a low condition" But
there is always the future. Turning his
prophetic eyes from Organism, which he
detests, and from GoEBEL and Goebelism,
which he abhors like the honorable soul he
Is, Col. WATTERsoN finds temporary solace
In these imagnings:
May there not be better day coming; when we
shall stand higher ground. broader ground;
when n1ed principles. not fmsy e,pedients. shall
rule; and whom the historic Democracy to the
illustrous traditions OF JErFERsoS. who gave us an
Empire true TO the progressive instincts OF JACKSON
who gave another-will adapt itself to the eI-
panding policy OF the Nation, Wrestling It from the
incompetent hands that now toying with IT, to
lead II on to renewed fame and power and gloryT'
There is patriotism in this eloquent pas
sage. but there is pathos, too. While Col
WATrERsoN is dreaming and hoping, the
present active and responsible leaders OF
the historic Democracy do not seem to be
making much progress in the direction OF
q return to the ilustrious traditions OF
JEFFERSON and JACKSON concerning the
question OF national expansion.

Whaling In 1899.

1t has been predicted that long before the
worlds coal supply is exhausted the bust
ness OF bottling and storing heat from the
suns rays, to be marketed in quantities to
meet the demand, will have developed on n
grand scale. This is only another way OF
saying that il the supply Of any OF natures
bounties becomes exhausted the human
race may he depended upon TO invent or dis
cover satisfactory substitute.
An illustration of this fact las marked
the exceedingly rapid decline OF the whale
fisheries owing TO the increasing scarcity
OF tho right and sperm whales. In the past
year our Atlantic and Pacific ports had only
twenty-one vessels represented in the sperm
whalery, and twenty-five vessels cruising
for right whales, or a total OF forty-siz, a
very small showing in comparison with our
once splendid fleet OF over 700 vessels.
whose cargOes Of bone and oil half cen
fury ago were worth from twenty to
twenty-five times the average annual value
OF our present whale catch. Yet We are
making far better showing in the whale
fisheries to-day than any other nation.
But while the whale fisheries are becom-
ing extinct, excellent substitutes for the
bone and oil they once yielded so ahund-
antly are multiplying. Such materials
ms steel, cellulod and rubber are now
replacing whalebonc, and though these
were not wholly satisfactory at first some
OF them are now regarded as superior to
bone for various purposes. While the

In i'aneIIil Hall,

Some twelve hundred Democrats were
enticed into Fan"ul Hall last Friday night,

JOSIAH QCISCY and certain other eminent
Democrats who do not share in the Hon.
GEORGE FRED WlhGIAMs's admiration of
himself had no difficulty in STAYING away.
Slr WILLIAMS was present in full force to
rally, ratify and rock. In compassion for
the multitude he made speech which
consisted OF II dialogue between himself
and the spirit OF SAM ADAMS: We must he
permitted to doubt if SAM ADAMS, were he
now in the flesh, would hold much conycrsa-
tlon with the Dedham sage. If he saw Mr.
WILLIAMS in Faneuil Hall ADAMS would
probably point to the door AMI say
Leave" But ADAMS is dead and WILL
L1AMs is alive, speaking physically and not
politically, and can have all the imaginary
conversations he wants.
He did not fail to inform Nj ADAMS that,
the Hon. ROBERT TREAT PAINE .Tr.. the
present Democratic candidate for Governor
OF Massachusetts,. is graat-grandson OF
the ROBERT TREAT PAINE who signed the
Declaration of Independence. 1t was. we

soldier, Gen. BENJAMIN LINCOLN. to force

People nereabouts do not need to be told
that the weather during the month lust
ending has been irritating and dangerous
In temperature and amid humid
atmosphere in which when one moves he
unduly perspires and when one sits still he
is cold, it is next to impossible to preserve
properly poised the temper OF the i'm
mortal soul enclosed in clay, or even
to enwrap the humble clay itself in
judicious outer garments and undprcloth-
ing Every one has been uncomfortable,
colds, lung troubles and all their allied
ills have been common, and nervous state
of mind, alike depressed and irasclble. has
been easily induced in poor human nature.
The mercantile reviews say that the unsen-
sonable weather is impeding the business
transactions that arc normal to the
autumn; and we allow some force to the
argument that the comparative inactivity
OF our various markets and exchanges al n
time when everything should make for
activity and optimism is due in some
measure to the unfortunate meteorological
conditions which have pressed like weight
ON body and mind
The meteorologists themselves, TO whom
We naturally turn for help, give n drearv
and exasperatng answer. They state in
all their daily and weekly summaries OF
the weather that has been, and in what is
put under the desutory and misleading
head OF indications" for the weather
that is to he, that this combination of
high temperature and an atmosphere
saturated with moisture at a time of
year when exactly the reverse should be
expected Is an abnormal" unnatural"
or unreasonable state of affairs. This,
If true, would be something like the
solace which DR.. OLIVER WENDELL
HOLMES mentioned a. afforded to the
man bitten by dog by the disclosure of
the dogs name But, the fact is, it is moi
true. So far from being abnormal and un-

mands good price, the world is cxperi-
encing scarcely any Inconvenience from
the disappearance Of this commodity.
1t Is tho same with sperm oil, the best
grade OF oil supplied by any OF the whale
tribe. Many people remember the time
when candles were our chief illuminant, and
practically the only one in the country dis
trcts and small towns. They will recall the
interesting fact in natural history that when
the sperm whale is killed its oil stiflcns into
n pure white mass known as spermaceti.
Sperrnaceti candles were JOY forever in
their odoiless and cleanly quality and IL
Eliminating powcr rs compared with the
ordinary tallow dip. But when the era Of
mineral oil dawned, the new illuminant
ecipsed even the spcrmaceti candle and
restricted the sphere Of usefulness OF tho
sperm whale. He is still highly priced,
however, for all his oil can be turned to ex-
celent account, and he will he hunted as
long rs the pursuit yields any profit
Our whaeries are in their yellow leaf.
They have reached that forlorn stage
where profit depends largely upon luck.
The right whale catch OF last year, for
example. was exceptionally large for these
times, simply because six OF our vessels had
tho splendid good fortune to kill l1a ami
mails but the eleven other vessels in the
fleet took only twenty-one whales. and five

1t is a notable event in the history OF the
United States that is taking place at Rich
mond to-day. The new torpedo boat Shu.
brick, a product OF Southern handicraft
and Southern enterprise, will be launched
from private Virginia shpyard into the
waters OF the James River 1t will be fol-
slowed before long by two other torpedo
boats, the Stockton and the Thornton and
by two destroyers the Dale and the De.
catur, now under construction by the same
firm. With full sense OF the Importance
10 the Nation of this new manifestation of
Southern energy the President Of the
United States will honor the occasion by
his presence
When, somewhat more than year ago,
the bids for the contracts to build the new
torpedo boats and destroyers were opened,
the offer of new competitor from a place
where even the Navy Department was un-
aware Of the existence OF facilities for ship
building to construct the most delicate
form Of naval mechanism after the Depart
ment's own specifications and for price
lower by $40, 900 for the torpedo boats and
by $4,000 for the destroyers than that
bid by any othcr responsible contractor,
thc -NhNy ohiCiuiS NcIe surprised
and sceptical as to the contractors ability
to live up to the offer. Investigation, how
ever, showed that both financially and me-
chemically there was every needed guaran-
tee for the successful carrying out Of the
work, the contracts were made, and are
now fulfilled by the completion Of the Shu-
brick on time.
Nothing, perhaps, could bring home
more strikingly the new spirit that per-
vadcs the South or the swiftness with
which the old barriers are disappearing
than the patriotic enterprise shown by the
Trigg Company of Richmond The old
Virginia capital might have been content,
and generation ago would have been con-
tent, with its position as great tobacco
market and its growth as railroad centre.

ness, and business requiring the industrial
facilities and mechanical ingenuity that
have been believed commonly to be peculiar

1t Is eminently fit that President MCKiN-
LEY, whose Administration marks the OBJ
liberation of the last traces of anmosity
