OF claims, an elaborate paper

would. of course, get a portion of

Admiral Sampson himself would
get one fifth of the money, while
the rest would be divided among

the whole fleet, it savors rather

GETTING INTO LINE.

Formulating issues for the campaign
of 1900. the Democratic National Com
mittee, in it's St Louis conference, put
two important matters to the front.
These two things are cognate, one de-
manding the destruction of criminal
trusts and the other protection from
oppressive trusts.
Democrats are getting into line, and,
as William J. Bryan observed, the
Democratic party is opposed to the
principle of monopoly wherever 1t mani
tests itself, and he clincheS this with
the statement that the party has de-
clared war on the trusts. Not a little
trust only, but big trust as well. Not
against one kind of trust only, but
against all trusts. In discussing this
matter, the New York journal says:
Next years contest will test the
question whether the trusts can be de
stroyed or deprived of their power for
harm If the Democracy can win on
these lines, all will be well. If it lose,
the question may be tested again. But
if, after thorough trial, we find that
the trusts have Outgrown the power of
the Government to suppress them, the
people will have to adopt new order
of battle. They will have to fight for
the possession of the trusts and their
management in the public interests.
Those conservative thinkers who are
alarmed at the thought Of such an ex-
tension Of governmental functions will
do we'll to aid the Democracy in its at
tempt to restore the old American sys-

RepuhIicau DisseuaiOus.

1t is somewhat significant that the
Philadelphia Press, the organ of the
Postmaster General, should print an
editorial calling attention to Repub-
lican dissensions in Ohio. 1t is more
significant that the Press should assert
that these dissensiOns are owing to
bossism. OF course, the Press is right,
to a certain extent, in its charge that
bossism has disrupted the Republican
party in the State of Ohio, but why
should McKinley's Postmaster General
throw bricks at McKinley's friend,
Mark Hanna?
This attack on Hanna is not covered
up in mass Of glittering generalities.
ON the contrary, the Press alleges that
the trouble began in Ohio when Sher-
man was forced out of the Senate to
make room for the new Republican
boss. 1t is further alleged that Hanna
has been engaged in the work of build
ing up personal machine In the Buck
eve State entirely regardless of the
narty interest and that the result has
been that the national administration
has been drawn into the fight in spite
of declarations that it deplores the Ill
vision. Iii all this the editor OF the
Press sees danger to the popularity OF
Mckinley, who will be held responsible
for the results of HGnna's pernicious
activity.-ChicagO Democrat.

Vastly Different.

As will be seen, it makes a great DIFF
ference how one uses the muscular re-
sources at ones command.

swimming the length of the large tank
in the basement of the institution, came

hauSted.

Hanna the Ohio Boss.

The first Republican State conven-
tion held to nominate candidates to be
voted for in the fall is that of Ohio,
and the outcome was watched with
considerable interest because Presl-
dent Mckinley comes from there.
There is always something Of fac
tional fight in the party, and there was
loud talk during the past few weeks
about downing" Boss Mark Hanna
and his following. His particularly
devoted aspirant for the GOvernorship,
Judge Nash, was to be Laid out cold
when it got to the balloting and was
never to be heard of in politics again.
The convention has been held and the
candidates have been nominated, and
heading the ticket that the Republl-
cans of all shades are expected to vote
for is the name of Judge George Kill
bon Nash He had more votes than
any other man on the first ballot, and
he became the unanimous choice of
the delegates on the second. Hanna,
instead of being ''dOwned," was an
easy winner. He is still the supreme
boss of the party in the State of Ohio,
and even his fiery colleague in the
Federal Senate, Joseph Benson For
| aker, has to bow to him.
1t is noteworthy, however, that i'll
order to win over the OPPOSITION to him
| in the convention, Hanna had to OBJ
| tain the assistance of the Republican
| boss in the city Of Cincinnati, George
Cox, who has the reputation through
out Ohio of being the most malodorous
| political manipulation that the State
has yet produced, which is saying a
| good deal. That this alliance will cost
the ticket thousands of votes is freely
| predicted, and there are Democrats
| a-plenty sanguine enough to expect the
| wiping out of the 1900 Mckinley ma
| jority of three years ago.
There are also good reasons fol
watching closely the anti-Hanpa Re
| publcans in Cleveland, where thu
candidate of the latter for Mayor Wat
| opposed and beaten by the boss and hi
| following, and where knives are on
for anyone favored by him, as Judg'
Nash is. Taking the situation as 1t il
throughout Ohio to-day, much strange

Suobbery vs.. Democracy.

Rryan's rebuke to Perry Belmont. an
English American snob, and president
of the so-called Democratic Club, was
well merited. Belmont is one of the
assistant Republicans who repudiated
the Chicago platform In 1896, but still
masquerades in the garb Of Democracy.
Bryan refused an invitation to attend a
banquet "in honor Of Jefferson which
is being engineered by Boss Croker
and Perry Belmont, at ten dollars a
head" for good reasons, which he un-
reservedly and emphatically stated, but
he accepted an invitation to attend an
other banquet, on the same occasion, in
the same city, at which Oliver Belmont
(Perrys brother. to divers shame) will
preside. and which will not be ''exclu-
sive," but, on the contrary, be in cOnsO-
nance with "Jeffersonian simplicity"
This is giving Croker and Perry the
double cross" But even David B.
Hill wrote sarcastically of the swell
affair, which he also declined to attend,
as do many other prominent men. Hill
attributed the Democratic defeat at the
late election in New York to too much
Croker" and when such forces as he
and Bryan combine in common cause
something is pretty sure to drop. We
hope it may, and We think it will be
CrOkerism-which means everything
that is vile, un-American and mdemO-
cratic. "The situation is delightful. -

Sweet Briars.

1t is within the last ten or fifteen
years that young men have taken to
pipe smoking, and they have made the
briar the proper thing in pipes.
Ten years ago briar pipes were only
made in France and Germany, put
when our own manufacturers turned
their attention to pipes, the result was
improved machinery for turning them
out and big reduction in the price.
The best briarwood comes from
France. This wood comes in rough
blocks. and in bags, which hold from
200 to 300 blocks each. The blocks are
roughly shaped, and they are first put
in frazing machine, which shapes the
bowl.
Then they go through another ma
chine which hollows out the bowl and
reduces the stem. 1t is sandpapered
and pumice- stoned down to its proper
size, the stem is drilled and the pipe is
ready for smoking.

Auaipst Trusts and Militarism.

William J. Bryan's declaration at st
Louis against the trusts and imperial
ism outlines the two great issues on
which the Presidential campaign of
next year will have to be fought. The
Democratic party stands ready to op-
pose the Republican policy of favoring
the great combinations of capital, and
the pursuing of any policy which will
make "A large standing army neces-
sity.
The most dangerous of all the trusts,
as Mr.. Bryan pointed out, is that which
aims to secure an absolute monopoly
of the furnishing of the money of the
country by confining the government
to the coinage of gold only, while Tor
itself 1t seizes the exclusive right TO
issue notes whose value rests on the
national credit. This is trust tha'

PRESIDENTIAL ROLL CALL.
Captain Dolan's Chain Unbroken I'm
til a Girl Was Born.

Captain Dolan's Chain Unbroken Uu.
til a Girl Was Born.
James Monroe Dolan lived for more
than fifty years on the farm he bought
In 1885. He was Virginian, aud, hav
ing owned a fiat-boat on the James
River, was known as captain He
was patriotic American, and his am
bition was to have each of his children
named after a President, provided
they were boys. He lived to see eight
Presidential namesakes grow up about
him. He used to say that his family
was part of the history of his country.
Strangers and neighbOrs who stayed
all night at Captain Dolan's farmhouse
could hear the roll call of the Presi-
dents from Washington to Van Buren,,
including the latter, early every morn
ing. The old farmers acres were
broad, and he was one of the first cat
tie kings of that part Of the country.
Hence it was necessary for him to get
his boys out early for the work of the
day. The house, like most farmhouscs
of that time, was a double log struc-
ture, with an entry between, which
was used as the storeroom. Into this
entry old Captain Dolan went every
morning at 6 o'clock and called the roll
of the Presidents, who were asleep In
ono wing of the house. For many years
the following roll-call was strictly at
tended to, in the order given:
Washington, Washington, Washing
tonr The young man Of that name
was expected to answer on the third
call, and when he had done so he heard
the command, Come, sir, time to be
| out" And then the call proceeded:
John Adams, John Adams, John
Adams. Come, sir, time to be out"
John Adams had answered to his maine
| on the third call. The roll continued,
| and the guest who heard it learned al
| ter it was finished that there were two
| Johns and two JameSes in the famlly.
One of the Johns was always called
John Adams, and the other John Quin-
cy. One James was called by his name,
the other was Jimmy.
After the birth and baptism of Mar
| tin Van Buren Dolan, the father is said
to have sighed. He was Wing, ana
it was a bitter pill to name one of his
boys Andrew Jackson, but he hated
Van Buren. However, he said he
couldn't break the chain. Two years
after Martin Van Buren's advent the
household was frightened by a girl
baby. For more than a year this child
was known as Sissy, because the faith
| er and mother failed to agree on a
name. At last, however, the mother
gave way. and the ambition of the
father was to some extent grsfifled.
He called the girl Henry Clay Dolan,
and long after her fathers death, while
her brothers were in the Confederate
army, and her mother was an invalid,
Henry Clay Dolau held the homestead
against raiders until under a military
order she and her mother were Danish
ed. Every member of this family, eX-
| cept it's heads, is still living.
