MRS. DEWEY'S AMBITIONS"

TT Is perfectly right and proper that Mrs.
Dewey should wish to see her hero husband
President OF the United states Many men
with less claim have occupied that exalted
Oh station. There IL no woman In the land
who would not lie glad II her own husband
had accomplished the feat that made Dewey Il
name imperishable And there is no woman In
the land who would not be Justified In dong all
that Is In her power TO help her husband secure
the highest Office that Is In the gin Of the people
Some newspaper editors are critcising Mrs.
Dewey for what they term her ambitions /"
Well. why shouldn't she be ambitious. What
sort Of a wife Is Il who would not aid her husband
10 30 up higher So far rs Admiral Dewey )
domestic affairs are concerned they seem TO hc
all right. But even an ambitious wife cannot
make q President out OF great hero. Mrs
Dewey. ambitious as she Is and ambitious az she
has the right TO be- will have no voice In the Kan
sas City convention. So will be just as well for
the editors OF the country to let Mrs. Dewey alone
and consider instead Admiral Dewey ms a Prcsl-
Dental candidate
And what Dewey needs now more than anything
else is a political party that will gnvanize his
boomlet into life. When this party has been
found It will be time enough TO study some other
phases OF the Dewey campaign.

VENICE, Aug. 1s.-When We t4d
adieu TO beautiful Florence The esner
day for Venice, Little did we dream OF
the fate that awaited rs. Like q clap
of thunder from . clear sky came the
announcement that aoraWford and
Floyd" were tied up az Paris BY the
law and that from this day 10 the 8Oth
Inst, u sailing day, every tourist
had to pay HE own way.
The scene that sfolloued this an
nouncement to 1856 men and women,
thousands Of miles away from home,
some Of them nearly out Of money,
can better be imagined than described.
Our landing at Venice and procession
In gondolas from the depot to the
hotel was romantic, pathetic and
ridiculous. What otherwise would
have been 9 joyful scene was more
like q silent funeral procession.
Scarcely . word was spoken and with
tearfnl eyes we gaxed upon she novel
scene before us, and the ~gondolier's
steady, silent strokes seemed 10 beat a
funeral dirge In the long file Of Ameri-
can tourists.
Bat your readers viii not be in
terested in the history OF this great
calamity and dismiss the unpleas-
ant subject. There is but one Venice
in the world and there is no life like
this elsewhere. I have been here
over two days and have not seen q

M'KINLEY PROSPERITY.

The failures for May, as compiled from DHns's
Res7ew, number o47, as compared with 5SI last year
and oI7 in the 'Ecalamitous'' year Of 1896. The num-
Der for May, 1900, is the largest ever known in that
month since the records have been kept. The records
Tor the two succeeding months have been equally
significant, as indicating the full meaning of Mckinley
prosperity. President Gary, Of the Federal Steel
Trust, who certainly has no motive for disappearing
the facts on that side said in a recent statement Of
the iron and steel industry: ''The demand is not
equal to the production and the latter should be
curtaIed until conditions change"
Production is being curtaiIed at a rate extremely dis
astrous to the interests or working men. And this, in
spite OF the pressure which, it is everywhere agreed, is
being brought to bear upon the trust managers by their
friends, Hanna and Mckinley, to keep their works
open il possible until after election. The trust men are
good Hanna Republicans and would be glad to comply
with the campaign request, but there is a limit even to
the powers of trust which fatten upon the abnormal
profits OF a short season of artificial prosperity. The
trust men are doing the best they can, but the truth
cannot be concealed that the bottom is cut out OF the
Mckinley prosperity, and the end is near at hand.

with the cool breeze Of the ocean
coming In on rs, I forgot all my
troubles and fell soundly asleep In the
gondola. The points Of chief inter.
est here are the old Cathedral San
Marco, the Doge's Palace, the Bell
Tower and Academy OF Arts. San

drAl and has been ~immortaIlzed BY

Tower or Campanili OF San Marco 10
sle feet high and gives the best view
Of Venice that can be obtained. The
ascent TO the top of this tower is
easy and richly repays the trip; in
deed the man who goes away without
ascending this tower has not seen

view that you realize that Venice has
no vacant lots and the only place to.
build lie in the sea. And 90 II is, you
lay out your wster lot, drive down

Of very plain but solid structure, and
