SULPHUR FLIES.

An extraordinary insect is de
 scribed by a correspondent under the name of sulphur flies. The name was coined by the employees of the Montana Copper company, Limited, because of the remarkable habits of the fly. The company, whose furnaces are about six miles west of Rediing, Colo, mine and roast between ten and twelve hundred tons of ore a day. Iron and copper sulphides are the main constituents of the ore, and the sulphur is forced to part from the metals by means of heat To accomplish this the ore is brought from the mines and piled in great heaps upon sufficient wood to kindle it. The huge heaps-approximatel / 200 feet lcng, fourteen feet wide and six feet high-once ignited, burn for about thirty days
 When the roasting process is we'll under way clouds of suIphurCus fumes rise from the heaps, rendering respira- tion impossible in their immediate vii cinity. Then may be seen, darting in and out of the suffOcating vapors, pe- culiar gray flies, about the size of horse fly, that apparently live and breed in the smoking ore. They seem to thrive in the densest fumes, the lower portion of the heaps fairly swarming with them At night the workmen are compelled to cover their faces with netting and their hands with gloves to resist their attacks, for their bites are very poisonous. The flies were unknown until the smelling operations began, some three years ago
 Dr. l.. o. Howard, entomologist Uf the United States department of agri- culture, when consulted regarding this matter, replied that the occurrence was very unusual; he had never heard of anything of the kind. He intends to make an investigations Scientific American

 justify his diatribes by advocating
 such course in plain language.
 In the meantime, patriotism should
 suggest greater moderation than is
 sometimes displayed in the expression l of impatience with the unavoidable. There can be no excuse for the con- duct of which MT. Atkinson seems ic have been guilty, in attempting to ad-
 dress directly to troops in the field violent denunciations Of the whole

His pamphlets have been stop ped by the postmaster general, acting under the orders of the cabinet, and though the measure is a strong Ona. we should be sorry to affirm that it is not justified by the circumstances. It would have been better, perhaps, as a matter of form, to leave it to the gen eral commanding in Manila to inter- cept literature directly SubverSiVe to disclfpine. But after all, that is only a question Of form, the essence of the matter being that military discipline must be maintained in all circunI- stances and at all costs.

 The unfortunate thing is that in the United States, even where the inter- ests of the whole country are at stake, the politicians cannot keep silent. The disgraceful conduct of MT. Edward At kinson and the other anti-expansion- ists demonstrates that the self-re- stIaint and sacrifice of party feeling for the common good, of which in this country we only a short time back had so striking demonstration. scarcely exist on the other side of the Atlantic.

IT DOESN'T PAY.
An Oft-Repeated Lesson Told Again
 for Somebody's Benefit

''I have tried working nights, and seven days in the week, and all that sort of thing" said MT. Bifferly, with vague idea that nature would make an exception in my case, and thnt I could do it all right, whether anybody else could or not, but I find it doesa i pay, which is to say that nature didn't make any exception in my case. IL may smile indulgently on me at flle outset of my breaking of it's estab- lished rules, but if I persist it gets stern and makes it clear to me that 1 must not violate it's rules, doing this by bringing down my output, without regard to the number of days or night 5 l work, to as little or less than I couil produce in six days work, besides keeping me in a state of perpetual nervousness and worry.
 The fact is that we need a day of rest; that no spring is inexhaustible, and if we keep on dipping after the water is low we dip up mud with the water, and it doesn't pay; it's better to give the spring a chance to fill up, and to give your back a chance, toe
 "A man that is fit and trim can do more work in six days than a tired nnn can in seven. The man that tries to get more out Of himself by working Z all the time really gets less If he is crowded for money and wants to keep right cn at work all the time, and earn all he can, and if he permits himself to stop at all, he thinks he's wasting time; but, bless us. he isn't, he's only giving himself a chance to fill up. Let him keep calm and enjoy that period of idleness; and it is not really idle ness, it's recuperation- Then when the time comes to work let him pitch in for all he knows how; he can't work too hard then, but it certainly does not pay to work all the time New York Sun

THE FIGHT AGAINST cRoKER.


 Uneasy lies the head that wears
 a crown" Boss Croker is still king ot
 Tammany, and is enjoying the per
 quisites of his soft snap That
 his business. But John C.. Sheehar,
 who assumed control of the Tammany
 organization after Croker retired from
 the leadership in 1894, and went to
 England. has determined to wrest the | leadership of Tammany from Croker.
 The boss has been notified of Shea-
 hans intentions, and the faithful are
 preparing to fight the agitators to the l last ditch
 Sheehan's proposed fight against the boss may result in the big politicians being compelled to sue to the men
 who are anxious to share in the pat ronage which comes Tammany's way. While Croker and his ieutenants have been prCfiting largely through Tam
 many politics and influence, the rank
 and fife have received nothing but
 crumbs, and very few crumbs at that.
 The heelers who have shouted for Croker on each and every occasion are dissatisfied with the unequal distribu- tion of the spells. They recognize the fact that Boss CrOker is living like pctentate while they are compelled to put up with what little they can get.
 Sheehan's reasons for fighting Boss Croker are easily understood. When Croker went to England in 1891 he virtually resigned the lead ership of Tammany Gheehan became the bcss, and for a time enjoyed the power which came through his influ- and built up the organization which Croker left in a demora1ized condition. Sheehan alleges. that when Boss Cro- ker saw how smoothly everything was sailing. he demanded back the leader ship.
 Sheehan intimates that he has no desire to succeed Crcker as leader, but that he will endeavor to drive thac willy person out of power. He says further that Croker attempted to have him removed from the leadership of the Ninth district, and fer this attack ne lnt0IIS IO ISnL Ddck. SlSSQdn du- nounces that the fight is within the Tammany organization, and that it will extend all over the country, wherever Tammany hall has an or ganization.
 This prospective revolt against Cro- kerism may rebound to the benefit of l the people of New York city Croker | has announced that he intends to re- main leader of Tammany while he lives; and the residents of the me- tropolis can rest assured that he will | retain power as long as he can. The | defeat of the boss would mean the | downfall of a system which savers of | in it's worst form. Shee- | han seems to have the support of the | better element in Tammany, and these | men, in the event of Croker's defeat, | might do much toward purifying the | politics of an unsavory political or yanization.

The declaration that the next speak CT of the house must be not only a re- publican, but an out-and-out adminis- tration republican, hits the congress- ional nail squarely on the head. Any State which, for reasons of local pride, puts forth it's efforts in behalf of any man whose loyalty in this regard is open to the faintest doubt will be guilty of placing a premium upon a serious national embarrassment To the administration belongs primary responsibility for perfecting our au- thority and government in newly ac- quired territory-and this responsibil- ity it stands ready to assume In the next session of congress the speaker must be a man who is prepared at every turn to uphold the hands of tha president

Inasmuch as MT. Bryan has decided that the trusts must be smashed, it is pertinent to inquire what he proposes to dc. with a state which charters trust. If all trusts are criminal, as he would have the public believe, what about the states which license them? Maybe Mr. Bryan is getting ready to slap few sovereign commonwealths into jail.
