OEwOCRArEC TICKET.
MR. BRYANS,GREAT SPEECH.

Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
indianapolis is without doubt the politi-
. cal event of paramount importance in
the present campaign. Mr.. Bryan re-
ceiycd at the hands of the democratic
party the nomination for the presidency.
A partisan utterance upon this occasion
would have been pardoned, nay, more,
was even expected by the country at
large. Tradition and precedent exist to
Justify candidate in such course. He
of Canton-Mark Hanna's man-who
was recently notified of nomination,
took occasion to plead for the principles
of a party and in the cause of an admin
istration. In multifarious terms he told
what "we" had done, and fairly reveled
in the deeds Of GUS" The republican
party was Acknowledgement apologized for.
And William Mckinley accepted at the
hands of those who bore the stamp of
the republican party the nomination for
the presidency of the United States. Mr..
McKinley's speech of acceptance will 60
down in history as the statement OF
party chief to his party followers. But
how different is the tone and tenor of
Mr.. Rryan's indianapolis address. Nc
Kinley spoke to party-Bryan to ma
ton; Mckinley pleaded the cause of an
administration-Bryan the cause OF a
people; Mckinley defended the princi-
pies of party-Bryan spoke in defense
of the principles that are at the fountla-
ton of free government; Mckinley spoke
as candidate, but Mr.. Bryan spoke as
an American citizen.
In the face of existing circumstances
it is fact of peculiar significance that
Mr.. Bryan could reply to the notification
committee IN speech bearing as little
trace of partisan politics as the Constitu-
ton of the United States or the Declare
ton of Independence. This does not
indicate that Mr.. Bryan is not a good
democrat, but rather that the demo-
cratic party is c0ntending not so much
for certain theories of administration in
"A free government as for free govern
ment itself. Hence it is that, fighting
for the very existence of the republic,
the position of the patriotic citizen who
stands for free government and the posi-
ton Of the democratic party become
identical.

Judge Chas. w. Hodglon was renomi-
mated for superior Judge at Seattle, Tues
day. In the denomination of Judge
Hodgdon the fusionists OF Chehalis and
Mason counties made no mistake. His
record on the bench during the past
three and one-half years is without a
,blemish, and is one that his supporters
are Justly proud of. When nominated
four years ago, Judge Hodglon was COM
paratively unknown in the judicial dis
trict; today his name is tower of
strength throughout Chehalis and Mason

or.aH Platform, Great Ticket.

Great platform, Great Ttckes.
Just ono hundred years ago the first
democratic president was ELECTED. The
work that Thomas Jefferson began will
b. carried on by William J. Bryan.
Jefferson became the head Of loose
coniederacy Of about the present popula'
ton Of Illinois. The problems lie had to
face wee comparatively simple. He had
to extirpate the remains Of atistocratic
privilege, surviving from colonial days.
To back him in that effort he had
homogeneous people fired with demo-
cratic sentiment. John Jacob Astor, the
fur peddlcr, had accumulated q quarter OF
a million Of dollars, and there were sew.
eral men still richer, but there were no
fortunes large enough to be dangerous.
There was no American to whom any
other American had to crirRe. none who
WAS unconsciously regarded as o. differ
ent clay from the rest.
Mr.. Bryan faces situation infinitely
more difficult. That the population over
which he is to preside 10 at least fifteen
times as numerous as that whose govern.
ment was administered by Jefferson is
the least Of the obstacles he will have to
overcome. He has to deal with a society
scanned from top to bottom with economic
riffs. The old equality Of fortune has
given way to the most appalling Unequal
tiles ever known since Nero built his
Golden House. There are individual men
today whose private incomes exceed the
total revenues Of the government in JET
ferson's time. Some Of them are the
practical owners OF entire states. They
dictate the action Of legislatures, courts,
congresses and the national government
by the people" byword.
The hardest undertaking in politics is
to maintain political equality in the midst
Of economic inequality. To restore JET
fersonian democracy in it's fullest extent
there must be an approach to Jefiersonian
social conditions.
No man is better fitted than Mr.. Bryan
to take the lead in carrying out this 81
gantic work. Robust in body and mind,
invulnerable in integrity, unshakable in
will, he is the ideal champion for an as
sault on intrenched evil. His display Of
firmness in the past few days has con.
WINGED even those who do not like his
ideas OF his sincere devotion to principle
aAd made them contrast him admiiingly
with the timid, double.f faced, ear-to.the-
ground politician in the white house. lie
ia precisely the man tina. is needed to
administer a government which, as Mr..
Oldham said in his nominating speech,
is Grounded ON the north by the Consti-
tuition, on the east by the Monroe doc
trine, on the soutl, by the Declaration OF
Independence, and on the west by the
Ten Commandments"
Mr.. Bryan has been placed on plat
form worthy OF him. 1t deals directly
and fearlessly with the issues Of which
the people are thinking. At the head OF
all it places the question Of republic OF
empire. That is the most fundamental
important question with which the
American people have ever had to deal,
for it goes to the very root OF our national
identity.

Some of the Mckinley dailies which

might tell us something of that fusion in

altogether off color when he fits along

When Democrat fuses with Pop. he
is seeking to overthrow society, but when
a Republican does the same thing he is
striving to save the government. Bah
at such Republican hypocrisy.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE CORONA.
Prof. Colt Is Sure That New Facts
Will he Learned.

Wadesboro N. c., May 2s-The scien-
tific men of America and England who
have been located here for weeks past in
preparation for the eclipse of the sun
were never more delighted than they
were this morning to see the sun rise in
a sky that was absolutely cloudless. save
here and there a streak of cirrus. AS ear
ly as 6 O'Clock the observers were hasten
ing to their various positions of observa-
ton and all was in readiness long before
the hour for the eclipse.
Prof. Langley, in charge of the Smith
sonian observatory had assigned men to
separate tasks and all performed their
duties like clock work.
Prof Young of Princeton observed spe-
cially for the green line of the spectrum,
due to an unknown gas designated as
''cororium," but at the critical moment
his sight failed and the opportunity was
lost.
Rev. Mr.. Quinby of Berwyn. near Phil
adelphia. was observer for sun spots.
Prof H. H. Clayton of Blue Hills Mete-
geological Observatory took the change in
temperature At the beginning Of the
eclipse, the temperature was II degrees.
1t quickly fell TO g. and for five 10 ten
minutes after totality it remained at g.
Then it began to rise rapidly, and at 1920
and a rise of fifteen.
Mrs Clayton caught the color sketch
of the eclipse, which was dark skies at
the first to deep blue then to rainbow
lines and at totality of after sunset eff
fects all around the horizon.
Prof ]. B. Colt of Boston, psid otten-
ton particularly to the important matter
of the corona and protuberances, and his
Observable settled one very important
matter in regard 10 the present eclipse
that is that there were no white promi
nences in this particular eclipse Prof.
Colt is satisfied that the result Of to-day
observations will be a better knowledge
of the corona aud the heat radiatons fro n
the different parts of the corona, and that
scientists will learn more of the form and
direction of the curvature of the corona
streamers.
The totally lasted, according TO Prof
Colt. seven seconds less than had been al
culated, but this, he says, is rot surpris
ing. 1t only demonstrates that scientists
are not perfectly sure of all the elements
of the moon, and that the motions of the
planets can be computed with higher ac-
curacy than those of the moon.
All the plates were packed for shipment
to Washington, where they will be devei-
oped. Until then II will not be known
fully what has been accomplished for the
benefit of science by to-day's observations,
but Prof. Langley is confident of i'm
portant and satisfactory results. Hun
dreds OF photographs were taken by the
smaller instruments and during the period
of totality six photographs were secured
by the 1357foot telescope on plates yard
square.

of the University of Virginia, in charge
of Prof. Stone ten plates were exposed
with the forty-foct camera. The corona
was observed usually by telescope. The
general character of the corona was the
same as that usually seen at times of min
inum sun spot activity, consisting of two
equatorial wings in which the, tilaments
were more nearly radial than in the case
of the eclipse of 1878 though the polar fila
ments were longer than in that eclipse.
No relaxation between the filaments and
the individual protuberancy could be de-
tected, though this point was carefully
studded. A number of smaller cameras
were mounted on a polar axis for studying
the extent of the outer corona. With one
of these a color screen was used for study
ing the distribution of coronium about the
sun.
At the Rutgers College station, in
charge of Profs. Prentiss and Breazeale,
twenty photographs were secured at vary
ing times of exposure. The shadow bands
were carefully observed, their direction
being south 55la east, their movement be-
ing at right angles to their direction to-
ward the northeast at the beginning and
in the opposite direction after totality-
the bands being about an inch apart.
The most singular feature was the visi-
bility of the corona after totalty was
over, the complete outline of the moon be-
ing distinctly seen for about five seconds
projected on the corona as background.

Arizona's Masked Pitfalls.
From the Chicago Record.

Curious but dangerous freaks Of nature
frequently found i'm the desert OF Arizona
are called sumideros by the Mexicans and
Indians. They are masked pitfalls of quick
sand that occur in the dry plains and are
covered with treacherous crust of clay
that has been spread over them in fine
particles by the wind and baked dry by
the sun.
The peculiar properties of the soil retain
all the moisture drained into them after
the infrequent rains, and allow Ii to be
filtered 10 unknown depths. so that a man
or a horse or COW or a sheep that once
steps upon that deceptive crust instantly
sinks out of sight beyond hope of rescue.
The sufnideros are on level with the sur
face of the desert. There is no danger sig
nal to mark them and their surface cannot
be distinguished by the ordinary eye from
the hard clay that surrounds them. They
occur most frequently in the alkali-coVered
fats, and are often fifteen or twenty feet
in diameter. Sometimes they are only lit
tie pockets or wells that a man can leap
across, but the longest pole has never
found their bottom. A stone thrown
through the crust sinks to unknown depths
and no man who ever fell into one of
them was rescued. They account for the
mysterious disappearance of many men
and cattle.

Vigorous Assault Was Made Upon
French NaiuIsfry

Paris, May &.-Crowds attended the
Chamber of Deputies to-day in anticipa-
ton of an important session arising from
Count Boni de Castellane's Interpolation
taking the government to task for It's re,a-
lions with NJ. Reinaeh.
The minister of war, the Marquis de
Gallifet, repeated his declarations regard
ing the Fritsch affair. He said he hoped
the army would not listen to those who
preached INSTRUMENTATION and would not
allow itself to be imposed on by an adj
venturer as was the case fifteen yeais
ago.
This denunciation of Boulangerism
brought forth ringing cheers from the So
cialists and vehement protests from the
Nationalist.
dreadful uproar was provoked by the
following declaration of the premier when
repudiating the charge that he had en-
gineered the efforts to revive the Dreyfus
affair:
''The spying was not done at the minis
try of the interior, but at the second bu-
reau of the war office, and against the
detective service, in order to establish
against the Temps the basest accusation.
They waited for moment to produce the
documents and to make their coup de
theatre. These documents were divulged
by the felony of an officer"
A perfect pandemonium followed. Mem
bers of the opposition rose and hurled IN
vectives and denunciations at the head
of the premier
In the midst of the din Gen. de Gallifet
rose and picked up his portfolio and left
the hail.
Thu Nationalists interpreted his action
as a protest against the warmth of the
Premier's allusion to the war office The
session was then suspended.
subsequently the session was resumed
Premier Waldeck- Rousseau toned down
his al uslon to the war offl and the gov
eminent was sustained by a vote of 2SS
against 247 The session was then adjourn
ed until Thursday next.
The Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet thus
emerged victorious from the most vigor-
GUS assault yet delivered against it.
