Quite a Contrast.

The contrast between the course
pursued in the present campaign by
the Democrats of Ohio and the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania is most strik-
ing. In the former state the followers
of Bryan and free silver are boldly
making the fight on national issues.
Almost their entire platform is taken
up with planks relating to the ques-
tions of finance, trusts, expansion,
and those subjects upon which the
two national parties are arrayed one
against the other. They make no
secret of their adhesion to the doct-
rines of the Chicago platform and its
candidate, and propose to make the
fight on the issues named on their
platform.
In Pennsylvania, while the Demo
cratic platform contains an illusion
to our ''matchless leader, William
Jennings Bryan" yet the leaders Of
the party are seeking to blind the
people of the state and attempting to
climb into power by a pretense of
ignoring national issues and shouting
for state reform.
1t is to be presumed that there are
important state issues in Ohio as we'll
as in Pennsylvania, but the Ohio
Democrats realize that it is impossible
to separate national from state issues
at this time, and they boldly proclaim
their position. 1t is not to be under
stood that their brethren in Pennsyl-
vania are any the less ignorant on
this subject. On the contrary, they
are just as well aware, as are the Ohio
Democrats, that national issues are
OF the most vital Importance, but
they also know full well that for them
to announce themselves as making
the fight in Pennsylvania on the
direct issue Of Organism, aud ell that
the word implies, would mean politi-
cal suicide
Hence, we have the Democracy Of
one state entering a campaign on the
platform Of national issues, as though
there were no state issues, and in an
~otbeT state conducting campaign
~on State fef6rm as though national
matsers WefSI 5llS such a state as to
need no attention.
1t is only another illustration of
the-poliey otthel Dempcracy Of being
all things to all men.

CUBAN CENSUS PROCLAMATION.

only the Cuban Omceholders Give 1t
Full Approval.
Havana, Sept. 4-The concensus of
opinion in Havana regarding the CEN
sus proclamation can now be ascer-
tained with a reasonable degree of ac-
curacy. When the proclamation was
first made known all elements were
apparently satisfied Now the only
ones who appear to give it full ap-
proval are Cuban ofliceholders. These
say that the proclamation is the work
of master head and ought to satisfy
everybody. Their Outspoken approba-
tion If there We're no other reason,
would cause all other elements to sus-
pee, che existence of something wrong
somewhere.
The independents, as the members of
the party advocating independence are
called say that President Mckinley
should have made some declaration re-
garding absolute independence for
Cuba. Those who favor an American
protectorate consider that the procla-
nation does not-offer adequate guar
antees to property and the investor.
The annexationists assert that the
proclamation tells literally nothing re-
and that no one is any wiser regarding
the future of the island than before.
They, however, believe that the admin
istration is inclined to adopt the
theory that it would be impossible i'm
mediately to turn over the reins of
government to the Cubans without
precipltating civil war.
The Observation-Disclosures who abuse
everything, no matter what, that is
done by the present administration
object to the proclamation on general
principles.
AS to foreign capitalists their opin-
ion is fairly represented by the presi-
dent of an important railway, who
said: eve do not care what happens.
The United States has assumed Spain's
responsibility in the island, and even
if a republic is established its officials
would of necessity obey Washington
implicitly"

"IF there ever was a time in the
history of the United States" says
the Democratic Nashville American,
when the true-b blue American citizen
should show his love of country it is
at this juncture. On the blood
stained fields of Luzon thousands of
our countrymen are heroically battl-
ing under the stars and stripes" "
Many other Southern Democratic
papers are taking an equally patriotic
position. Toe Louisville Courier
Journal, the New Orleans Picayune,
the Chattanooga Times, and other
prominent papers in their section are
demanding a vigorous prosecution of
the war until American sovereignty
is recognized in all parts of the
domain which Spain ceded to the
United States in the treaty of peace.

Manila, Sept. 4. - Many Spanish
prisoners are escaping from the Fill

lines stories of hard treatment They
agree that the Filipinos are short of
rations and that a large section of
their troops is reduced to the use Of
home made black powder.
The natives are trying every scheme
to get food and munitions from Man
lila. Daily arrests are made for at
tempts to smuggle contraband of war
through the American lines. In one
case a casco with a cargo of bamboo
poles was overhauled and the poles
were found full of race.
The insurgents have a wholesome re-
spect for the British on account OF
several threats of British warships to
lombard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are respected Two
British vessels, the Lacson and the
Nero. were driven by stress of weather
into the harbor of Dagupan the north

A force of native police has begun
to patrol the city of Manila, cooper

many members of the old force and
some insurgents who had grown tired

work in runling down native Grim

Charleston, Sept A terrible tale
of the sea, the story of survivors draw
ing lots to die and be hacked up for
food, was told Saturday by two of the
men of the wrecked Norwegian bar =
Drot. They had sucked the blood from
their companions body to keep alive.
One of the seven men is a raving ma
Mac. His name is Maurice Anderson,
aged %. The other ones name is
Goodmund Thomson, aged II. He is
sane, but wasted away. They were
picked up on Thursday by the British
steamer Woodruff, Captain Milburn,
250 miles south of Charleston. But
one other man of the crew was saved.
He was landed at Philadelphia an Aug.
% by the German steamer Titana.

sherry" is the password, and is

result is that the house bar does hand

The charges in the senate restaurant

WHEEL OSCILLATION.
q Has Becn shown That bicycle
wheels which OseillHte Are
Not Necessarily Best.

1-ere was time, and not so very
;ong ago when the average dealer
judged Of the qualities of bicycle by
The number Of times the rear wheel os-
cillated after it had been reyolyed free
of the floor. At the last bicycle show,
reports a wheel paper, this fallacy was
taken advantage Of BY the shrewd sales
men Of several manufacturers who, rec
ognizing the effect this balancing had
on some Of their customers, adjusted
the wheels shown by them accordingly.
Now, as matter of fact, this balancing
has nothing at all TO do with the rum
ming qualities of the wheel. 1t means
nothing. 1t is the way wheel runs
when under a load that shows itsquali-
ties. and experienced dealers and riders
have long appreciated this fact. Last
summer there was a coasting contest
near New York, and among the con-
testants were two men Of exactly the
same weight. One rode wheel which
would oscillate for four minutes when
it was free of the floor, and the other
bicycle, no matter how hard Il was
sprung, would come to 4 standstill in
half that time. In the contest the lat
ter virtually ran away from its oppo-
nent A perfectly adjusted wheel with
out tire or valve hole does not oscil-
late at all. Place tire on the same
wheel and it will swing backward and
forward for some time. The gyroscope
top, which is so perfectly balanced
that it will spin at any angle, does not
oscillate after it has expended its force.
If small shot be soldered on the edge
Of the rim of the same top it will swing
until that part of the top is at the bot
tom, but at the same time will not spin
long Paste graphite as lubricant for
chain or chainless gear may affect the
oscillating power of a wheel, but when
you are on the wheel it will run away
