Liquid Air.

There is no measuring the possibilities of
liquid air for power-giving. if some means
can be devised for controlling the evapor-
ated elements when the liquid begins its
work of expansion. The experiments which
were tried in this city last night served to
bring to notice in a somewhat spectacular
manner the possibilities OF liquid air for the
production of intense cold. Thus far, how
ever. little has been done in the way of
practical application of the air power This
Is for the reason that no success has met

The metals which subjected 10 the ex-

smallest quantities at great expense. Now
a device has been found to produce it in

business. and so 1t came to Washington
and ordered the treaty held up. The order
was obeyed, and, in fact, the treaty was as
good defeated. Annexation by resolu-
tion was forced upon the friends of the
proposition. and the war with Spain gave
an impetus TO the resolution and carried it
through. But the Sugar Trust fought to
the last.
II it is true. therefore, that the Sugar
Trust has cheapened the price of sugar to
consumers 1t is also true that it has cheap
ened other things. 1t has cheapened repu-
tations. and shown itself willing to help
cheaper even the country itself.
No other trust, it is true, has as yet ex-
hibited a spirit to equal this. But, unless
the trusts are checked, is it not but a
question If time and opportunity and in
ducement when any or all of the others
will attempt as bold game for profit? The
Sugar Trust has shown the way and real
lied handsomely on it's aggressiveness.
Unless the way is blocked it is very certain
TO have followers.

sound Money Democrats Reply.

As was to be expected and Is to be wei
cCmed there Is prompt response from the
sc;ud money democrats to Mr.. Bryan :
challenge Rfr Outhwaite of Ohio, a lead
er among them, expressed himself on the
-. .biect in yesterdays Star. and eX-Secre-
tary Morton of Nebraska appears in print
today. Both hold as firmly to their views
as Mr.. Bryan does to his. There is as
little of compromise in them as in him.
Law on, Macduffr' is the greeting the
silver champion receives.
Mr. Outhwaite believes that the organ
ization Of sound money democrats effected
in 1885 win be strengthened for next year :
race. But why should it BE-? If the claim
of the sound money democrats is correct,
that they threw the deciding vote which
sent Mr. Mckinley to the White House,
why not arrange to increase its size and
throw it for him again? Why attempt to
make third ticket serious factor in the
campaign? Why divide the sound money
strength next year, when the result In
1875 Is an instructive warning of the ne
cessity Of sound money union? There ap-
pears to be no margin for waste of sound
money suffrage.
Mr.. Mortor's views are crippled by Cleve-
landism. The ex-Secretary is still joined
To MS idDt HIS pTOpoSllIDH III tHCNt -
tEat the republicans and the democrats
unite under new party name and drag
Mr.. Cleveland from retirement for leader
Drag? Why. no dragging would be neces-
sary. Mr.. Cleveland is ready. He is al
ways ready. Having wrecked his own
party he would hear with elation of the
wreck Of the republican party: and invited
10 take command of IL craft constructed OF
wreckage, ne would board her with alacrity
and all of his old-time confidence. But that
arrangement is. of course, utterly out of
the question. There are hundreds of thou
sands OF men who could not be brought TO
vote for Mr.. Bryan under any other cir
cumstanceS than as choice between him
and Mr.. Cleveland. Smash might follow
Mr.. Bryans election, but that would be
preferable To four years of slow smother
ing. under a weight of egotism and presi-
Dental bullying.
The accepted forecast is OF the renom-
ir.stion of both Mr.. Mckinley and Mr..
Bryan and the necessity of choosing be-
tween them. If the sound money demo-
eats put up ticket it will weaken Mr..
Mckinley. If the populists put up one it
viii weaken Mr.. Bryan.

Spring and the Statesman,

Oh, the garden is awak' ming and the dew is
dropping soft
FROM kindly heavens to the earth beneath: i:
The buds again are starting on the tender
twigs aloft
And the orchard is preparing for it's
wreath.
But it isn't horticulture that now occupies
his ken,
His air is thoughtful and oercast with
gloom
AS he rivets his attention on his warning
fellow men:
He is waiting for the olive branch to
bloom
He gazes apprehensive on the bough whence
life seems fed,
He doubts if any bud can pierce the bark
Yet it is the looked-for season so the gar
deners have said,
And the germ of joy is lurking in the
dark.
So he's waiting, all alertly, for the precious
fiow'r to shoot.
And ownership he'll presently assume;
There'll be another rumpus over who shall
pick the fruit:
They're all waiting for the olive branch to
bloom
