New Usc For Copper.

Scarcely day passes that new use
for copper is not found. The latest OF
any considerable importance was dis
covered by the management of Mass
achusetts railroad. The discovery coll
sists in the fact that thin sheets OF
copper is not only better than paint as
covering for freight cars. but also that
it is cheaper in the long run. The
Fitchburg railroad in that state is using
the sheets and, probably, many others
may eventually use them Instead OF
paint The present high price of the
metal may limit its application in that
direction until its production exceeds
the demand, but that it will thus lie
used admits of little douD,.
Ordinarily, Of course. it is considered
good business for one 10 gef all ne can
for his goods. That is quite natura
just now copper producers conll al
vance the price of the metal to 20 cents
or over and then find ready sales for
their output But the advice of cert iii
level-headed mine owners who believe
that grasping avariciot.s policy would
not only injure their business, : ut that
of trade i'll general, seems to have IRE
vailed and copper stands DIT about 80
without any noticeable rising tendency.
1t is said that copper can now BE-
mined, smelted and marketed for from
5 to 8 cents per pound, accordiu.; 20 the
location Of the mine, and the facilities
for handling its ore. Say the average
cost is ~ cents pound it viii be seen
that the margin for profit is large
enough TO satisfy all but the most
avaricious. There was time. however. |
in Butte -abcus 1882, when the cost
ofproducing copper elulllei its market |
price and mine owners simply ey.
changed an Old dollar for new one.
The Meaderviile WORKS WIS shut down .
about that time for that reason. Con-
ditions are different now an the cop.
per mine owners are having tier
inning. Mr.. John stanton, the prcsi.
dent of several large .loper corp ".
atoms, is credited with saying that it
would be better for all concerned if
the price Of copper coull be maintained
about l6 cents per pound But ns every
commodity is considered worth wh { it
will bring in the market it does MT
appear that any fixed price OF coup.ri
can be mainlained.-West.rA MI. -

Bryan's Military Record.

The administration press and cam
paign orators are attempting to ridi
cule Mr. Bryan's military record. The
less they say about this matter the less
the people will know about the action
of President Mckinley in seeing to il
that his political antagonist had no OPP
portunity to distinguish himself in the
field. On the day that war was declares
against Spain Mr.. Bryan placed his
services at the disposal OF the president.
His offer was ignored. Finally til
Third Nebraska was raised and Mr..
Bryan was made its colonel. Extra
ordinary efforts were required to get
the regiment accepted by the war &c
partment. At last, after much delay,
it was mustered into service and
ordered South. 1t was held at Jackson
vile, Fla, until the fighting was over
in Cuba, and then it was ordered to the
island. At this juncture Colonel Bryan
resigned. He had not been given an
opportunity to go to the front while
war was going on, and when peace was
established he he'd no longer any desire
to remain in the service. To him civil
life was preferable to garrison life il
shoulder straps.
1t cannot be observed that on this
record of facts there is anything dis
creditable to Colonel Bryan's courage
or patriotism. On the other hand, Il
studied attempt on the part of the war
department to keep Colonel Bryan and
his regiment in the background is
visible. Bryan is making no references
to his military record, except when
compelled to do so to correct positive
Misrepresentation. SO far af the ad
ministration would permit him, he dii
his whole duty as citizen and a
patriot. That he did not do more was
not his fault, but the fault Of the war
department, over which he had no
control. When the administration
papers and speakers therefore sneer at
Colonel Bryan's military record, let
them first answer two questions: First,
why were not Bryau's services accepted
when proffered, and second, why WIS
not his regiment ordered TO the front
when war was going on? -Denver News.

MISS WILLIAMS ESTATE. Reaches an Aggregate Value of Over
 $25O,0OO.

The estate of Mss Mary Williams, of Grady, who died at Eureka Springs a few weeks ago, was of much more value than was at first supposed. She has only one near relative living ia this country. That person is Mrs. Susan Mitchell, who resides at Denver, Col, but who Is now in the city looking after the es- state. Ms. MichelPs husband is a multi-millionaIre and is known throughout Colorado as the "Silyer King" The title befell him owing to his vast possessions of silver mines in that State.
 The will of Miss Mary Williams has been filed and probated ln the Lincoln county court. She bequeatbs all her personal and real property to Mrs. Mitchell. Ia the will is named property in Pine Bluff, Grady, Deu- yer, Wichita and several other Western cities. Several valuable silver mines in Colorado, which were the property of Miss Williams were given to Mrs Mitchell, as was also an extensive piece of property which adjoins the government buildings 1t Wichita, Kan.
 The aggregate sum of the estate will reach over $25O, ,OOO. A peeul- iarity of Miss Williams life was the frugal and peculiar manner In which she lived. She never associated with her neighbors Tor even asked them to call. She denied herself all pleasures and speat little money. She was 84 years of age.

4 iSMIR RCHED SEAT
 IN THE SENATE.

The troubles of Senator-eleet Clark of Montana appear to have begun, even before he has tasted the bitter sweet Of Senatorial experience. Several of our national Senators have had trials and investigations while in office, but he must face his in advance, according to the decis- ion of tbe Supreme Court of his State upon the charges iof bribery and corruption made against him. The proceedings that have led up to this began in the Legislature last winter, when three members of that body swore that they had each re ceived $10,0 900 from Attorney John B. Welcome, Clark's manager, to cast their votes for that candidate. On the strength of this, disbarment proceedings were instituted against Welcome by the attorney general, and they are still pending.
 The principal must of course be as deeply involved as the agent, hence the present exciting situation. It is to be hoped that all parties concerned can prove their lnno- .cence. The detested curse of poodle has entered so largely into our poli- sics that fresh instances are always unsettling and demoralizing, and 8 lapse from public virtue ever as far away as Montana hurts all over tne country. That Mir. CIack was elect ed through his money or because of it, more than for any other reason, there has been little doubt, but 1t was not supposed at the time that this political lever had its f0lcrum so near to the lifting point as is now charged.
 Mushroom and money-made states men at Washington, from hush room communities, have been pro life breeders of political evil, mis- fortune and scandal for the country in the past few years, and should the present charges be proved the situation would seem to be growing worse instead of better.-Boston Transcript.
