Issues of the Campaign.

Selma, Ala, July Ex-senator John T.
Morgan, who arrived at his home here
says the issues in the coming cam
paign will be many.
The more there are the better for
us" said Senator Morgan. THE con-
gress that assemblies in December will
in providing for the government of our
new possessions, have to modify the
tariff, which will materially strengthen
the democratic position. Sugar will give
you issue enough. We can no more
place tax on sugar from Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines than we
can from Louisiana. Then, in provid-
ing for the government of the islands,
will come the arranging of a financial
system. Silver has been the only mon
ey known there, therefore, the remonet-
ization of silver will be again demanded
by the democrats. If we can't get free
coinage we will say give us $500, 009, 900
or 1000, 100000. Once we make an in
road, the rest of the pathway will be
cleared. Then, again, the issue will be
injected of the income tax, which no
effort has been made to collect. I shall
offer as soon as congress assemblies a
joint resolution to request the president
to proceed to collect this tax, which
will no doubt throw 1t again into the
supreme court. Still another issue will
be brought out by the reapportionment
by republicans in congress under the
new census and the action be taken on
the 14th and 18th amendments to the
constitution so far as it relates to
states like Louisiana, for instance,
which has disfranchised the negro. AS
to the trusts, both parties will denounce
them in the strongest terms and Meth
er do anything inimical to them"

WILL BE PROSECUTED.
Banks Not Allowed to Afix Stamps to
Unstamped Checks.

Washington, July 14.-Commissioner
Wilson of the internal revenue depart
ment has issued a circular absolutely
prohibiting banks from affixing stamps
to checks unstamped when presented
and requiring them to return the same
to the drawers. In his circular to col
lectors the commissioner says:
You are directed to notify the banks
that are guilty of stamping unstamp-
ed checks that if the practice is not
Immediately discontinued they will be
reported to the United States district
attorney for prosecution"
The previous instructions to the eff
feet that there was no objection to the
affixing by the bank of the requisite
stamps to an unstamped check pre-
sented for payment is revoked. AS the
law is now generally understood, it is
held that there is no further need of
such permission.
This action was taken upon informa-
ton that certain banks had adopted
the practice of not requiring stamps
as an advertisement to secure patron
age as against rival banks.

many objects without upsetting one.
Although we do not know with GER
tainty the condition of the brain in
somnamulism, observation has taught
us to recognize many Of the causes that
induce 1t. and SO to control the habit
in great measure. These causes may
be mental, such as worry, brooding
over one idea and hard study, especial
iy late at night; or physical, such as
late suppers. insufficient exercise and
sleeping with the head too low.
Most sleep-walkers are either of a
nervous constitution or have received
some severe shock, great grief or i'm
moderate joy, which has temporarily
disturbed their nervous equilibrium.
Inc young Of both sexes are most SUBJ
1ect to sleep-walking, and when the
habit is formed in youth 1t Is usually
outgrown in few years.
The confirmed somnambulist should
avoid all the mental and physical
causes above mentioned. The bedcloth-
ing should be light the sleeping room
or good size and well ventilated. Much
time should be passed in the open air,
and over application to studies must
be carefully avoided
In obstinate cases the patient should
not be left alone at night, and doors
and windows should be securely fas-
tened. If he is discovered out Of bed
he should be gently guided back, and
should not be awakened until once more
lying down.

Titled Business Folk,

Many of the great English families owe
their wealth to trade. Lord Londonderry
was the first peer to engage in the coal
business. The marquis of Butte is one of
the wealthiest men in the United King
DOM He neither rides, races, fishes nor
shoots but hefo owns the only vineyard in
the British isles.
Lord Sudeley has a f1ourishing jam bus
mess, making a speciality of whole-fruit
preserves. To Lord Harrington belongs
the distinction of having been the first
peer who actually opened a London shop.
He has fruit store at Charing Cross and
the fruits and flowers grown on his estate
are there offered for sale.
The Countess of Warwick is one of the
best-known women in England, both for
her beauty and her inventive genius. She
has established a school for needlework
and designing and has opened little shop
for the sale of articles made in the
school,
Lord Ardilaun and his brother, Lord
Iveagh. are the head of the great clan of
Guinness. known throughout the business
world. They draw salaries bigger than
the income of prime minister.
The great banking house of Barring has
produced several peers; the present head.
Lord Revelstoke shares his life between
society and business.

SLEEP WALKING,
Something About This Queer and Danger
Gus Habit.

From the Youths Companion.
Sleep-walking, or somnambulism, is
neither so common nor so entertaining
a habit as readers of certain kind of
stories might be induced to believe 1t
is as a little reflection will convince us,
habit, or we might even say a mall
ady, which exposes its victim to great
peril.
The somnambulist is in a condition
very similar to that of hypnotized or
mesmeriZed person. The action of the
mind is greatly restricted, in that the
reasoning faculty is almost completely
in allegiance, and everything the person
does is purely automatic and performed
under the influence of a single idea.
But the very fact that the mind, Grip
pied as it's powers are, acts solely in
one direction and is not distracted by
external impressions, makes the per-
sons actions more certain than they
would be in a waking state. Thus a
somnambulist may walk along the
edge of a roof with perfect steadiness,
while, If awake. he would certainly
turn dizzy and fall. So, too. in a per-
fectly dark room, the sleep-walker will
often move about without stumbling

COMPRESSED AIR FOR CARS.
How 1t IL Made and Used In One of the
New Methods.


No less person than Joseph Letter.
the young man who was recently en-
gagged in cornering the wheat supply,
gives the following intelligent descrip-
ton OF getting compressed air for pro-
pulsion of street cars:
The air is compressed in cylinders,
arranged in multiple series. In the first
cylinder the air is reduced until it gives
pressure of 60 pounds to the square
inch against the atmosphere which
itself has a pressure of 80 pounds to the
square inch against a vacuum. Then
the air is reduced in a second cylinder
eight times-that is, one-eighth what
it was in the first cumberland it's
pressure eight times as great, or 480
pounds to the square inch. The same
multiple Is preserved in the next COM
preston, so that the air has a pressure
of 3,s40 pounds to a square inch.
This high pressure air Is kept in
a tank and when wanted for use on
street cars to run their motors is drawn
off into what we call bottles. These
bottles are connected in series. They
are cold punched nickel steel and of
great strength, for they sustain a pres
sure of $500 pounds to the square inch
when placed on the car.
From this ii is not to be concluded
that the pressure in the motor cylinder
when the car starts is a pressure of
$500 pounds. There is where our mo-
tors differ from their predecessors. The
outfiowing of the air from the bottles
is controlled by system of reduction
valves which deliver the air into the
cylinders at pressure of 125 pounds
to the square inch. Engines can be
made that will use the air at any de-
sired pressure and employ it for me-
chanical purposes. We could make mo-
tors that would run cars with press
ure of only ten pounds in the cylinder,
but they would be more bulky and not
so suitable''f ~
