Facts as to Tin Plate Prices.

1t is worth noting that the price OF tin
plate, with the increase of IL per cent in
wages, is still $l.1O per box less than it was
when we relied on foreign supply for all
our tin plate under free Importation. What
has really been accomplished is this: The
tin plate industry has been transferred to
this country; whatever profits there are
now go to American investors, the wages
expended in that industry are distributed
to American laborers, and these have been
increased since the trust was organized II
per cent; the producers are undoubtedly
making good profit, and still the product
is sold to American consumers at S1.1O a
box, or % per cent less than before the
tariff was adopted and the trust organized.

Bryan Looks Askance at 10 TO

There are signs that even the jngling
orator of the Platte is beginning to see
light. In an interview published y-ster-
day morning he touched upon the heaven.
born ratio only In academic accent. He is
40 less devoted to free silver al l6 to l.,
ostensibly, than he has been Tor the last
years, but he feels apparently that its sun
Is going into an eclipse. With all his IN
thusiasm he has reached the point whore he
comedies that it may not be the part mount
issue of the next campaign. This cnange
OF attitude Is of no little Significance.
II have no doubt" observes Mr. Bryan,
"other issues will be added to the plat
form Then comes the point OF the OBJ
servation: Whatever may be first in the
public mind will be the dominant issue. "
When William j. Bryan publicly comedies
that silver may not he the dominant issue
of 1900 it is safe to conclude that this Is the
prevailing opinion of democrats, wherever
the peripatetic Nebraskan goes, north and
south. east and west. He has rivaled the
1uurneyings of the great American traveller,
aud his convictions have yielded to the
pressure of popular sentiment. When w.
j. Bryan admits that the silver may lose its
place as the dominant political issue 1t is
safe to conclude that silver has lost that
place already.
Mr. Bryan concluded the brief interview
with the sensible remark that he is mot
making platform for the democrat party;
the convention will do that" That was
not the spirit of his Belmont letter, and the
series OF post prandial speeches of short
time ago. Are not Bryan and Organism
one and inseparable? 1t would seem not.
Can 1t be possible that he is descendant
of the traditional postmaster who, when
that the President belonged to
the anti administration party, replied: II
would like to see the administration that
could flop quicker than ! can"
In word, w. Bryan is out for the Presi-
dency and not 16 to Chicago Inter
Ocean.

"But his position as a member of the
committee on commerce has been and
is of paramount importance to the
state. The improvement of our rivers
and harbors, so essential to the COM
MERGE of the great lakes and the highest
development of the material resources
of our state, have always commanded
his special care and solicitude; and no
just demand in this behalf has escaped
his notice or failed to receive his prompt
and efficient attention.
'As member, too, of the committee
on naval affairs, he has been most in
fluential and far. sighted in bringing
about the development of our navy to
its present high standing and efficiency
enabling it to cope with the great
emergency through which the nation
has just passed. These three commit
tees are among the most important in
the senate, and in their deliberations
Senator Mcmillan exerts a potent if not
controlling influence. Indeed, it is
not too much to say that few men in
the senate exercise a more wholesome
and forceful influence in shaping and
determining general legislation than
Senator Mcmillan. Irepeat, therefore,
that the state, whatever may be the
senator's inclination, cannot afford to
dispense with his services at this time"
What of the reported differences
between Senator Mcmillan and Sec
rotary Alger?"
Il think nothing serious; and as to
the merits of the controversy, Senator
McMillan's recent statement is quite in
accord with my own understanding of
the matter.

the summer, except as / may be called

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed. deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cCndi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
Which is nothing but an inflamed coac..tion

Stood" said Senator Mcmillan this morning
"The administration must have Michigan's

have heard from the state it has that sup
port without exception"
The senator said that he should remain
here until Tuesday and then return to
Washington.
As matter of fact, there are some
q solid delegation for Mckinley in 1900 that
interest the senator. He has had almost
every congressman In the state closeted at
some time or other and In this there has
been an agreement between The senator
and congressman as to the appointment of
the census inspectors. To the close student
there has never been as quiet and effective
work done as has been put In on this and

The Owosso Press seems to have awak-

violated on Sunday in this city. IT'S pass
ing strange that the discovery Yves not
made until after the democratic mayor and
police officers were succeeded by republic

allowed to run about as they pleased on
Sunday, and it was not until after Mayor
Hume assumed Office that any attempt was
made to enforce the liquor laws. Does the

There has not been more sensible,
strictly up.to-date ordinance before the
council for many months than the present
bicycle ordinance, though just why bicycles
should be kept of the sidewalks at night
when there are few or no pedestrians on
ions requiring the carrying of lighted Ian
terms after dark and bells or other signals at
all times are conducive to public safety and
are not necessarily harsh on riders. The
provision forbiddng scorching on the streets
is perhaps the most necessary one of all,
the streets being now at times positively
dangerous from the swift riding over the
pavements. The application and extension
of the old rule of the road compelling
bicyclists to keep on the side of the road
nearest their right is also much needed
provision. In addition to these provisions
the proposal made by Aid. Gonld that rid
ers should dismount when meeting or pass
ing pedestrians seems to THE TIMES to be
an unusually wise provision If it were made
w apply Oiiy W iiuCio oh otuCWdiho Ois say
width less than five feet, and not even
then If the pedestrian voluntarily steps
aside to let the rider pass. This would
give all needed safety to the pedestrian and
would be no hardship to the rider. Such q
provision would also do away with the
necessity of forbidding the right of way to
bicycists on the walks after dark as the
rider being compelled to carry lighted
lantern and to run slowly when on the
walks would see a person In time to dis
mount before meeting or passing him on
a narrow walk. He would then be in no
danger of frightening the pedestrian or Of
injuring either the pedestrian or himself.
The TIMES hopes to see the ordinance
passed with such an amendment.

Charles A. Baldwin is authority for the

VALUABLE WORK ON THE CON-

From the Detroit Journal:
Kalamazoo, May 19.-Special.- Sen
ator Burrows, who returned from De-
troit last night. in an interview for The
Journal said:
my purpose in visiting Detroit at
this time was to confer with my col
league, Senator Mcmillan, in relation
to the selection of the supervisors of
the census and other matters OF inter-
est to our state. The selection of
these supervisors has not yet been de-
termined upon. We are in conference
with the representatives of the several
districts and hope to reach conclusion
at an early day which will be salts

assure the best possible results attain
able in this important work"
us Senator Mcmillan a candidate
for reelection to the senator"
Il have no doubt about it, and am
equally confident that he will be his
own successor. He certainly ought to
be. Without detracting from the just
merits of any possible rival, i have no
hesitancy in declaring that the state
cannot afford at this time to dispense
with his services. His ripe experience,
business sagacity, mature judgment and
large acquaintance with public affairs,
give to his service special and peculiar
value at this time.
Great problems are to be solved,
and he can materially aid in their
proper solution. 1t must be remem-
bered that length of service counts for
much in the senate of the United States,
and as the result of his long connection
with that body, and his recognized
ability, he has attained position on
which no new man could at
once possibly secure. AS chairman of
the committee on the District of Column
bia, he has virtually shaped the legisla-
ton for the district. and his administra-
ton of the affairs of the capital city
