Chair rman Jones' offered an Insult to
Them In Public.
Keep careful track of the time, the
place and the occasion of the remark
by the present chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, Senator
Jones of Arkansas, in these words:
Hundreds of thousands of ignorant
foreigners who were here taking bread
out of the mouths of honest labor,
voted at the last election at the dicta-
tion of McKinley's supporters. These
foreigners comprised fully one-half Of
the number of votes received by Nc
kinley"
This language was used in a set
speech to the Arkansas Legislature, at
Little Rock, January 20, 1897, thankii :
them for his third election to the
United States senate. In that he dis
cussed Bryan's defeat the previous No
vember, speaking as the chairman then,
as now, of the Democratic national
committee and the head of the man
agement of the Bryan campaign.
There is no escaping his responsibility
for this insult to all foreign voters,
which we give as it was printed on
the day after it's delivery, as reported
in the Arkansas Gazette, the principle
Democratic paper of his state, and the
organ of the Democratic party.

CAN RENEW OXYGEN IN AIR.
French Chemists DemOnstrate Prop.
critics of BioNide of
Sodium.
Il ~;....'~'-

Highly interesting demonstrations
of the properties of bioXide of sodium
are being given before the French
Academy of Science. BioXide of sodi-
um is found to possess the property of
renewing the oxygen of the air that
has been breathed and in absorbing
carbonic acid gas given off. Thus, with
an apparatus containing the sodium.
shown by Des Grey and Balthouard at
the academy, diver can remain under
water and walk about without having
the air renewed by the pumping appa-
ratus at present employed.
Moreover, by the means of the new
apparatus miners will be able to pene-
trate into poisonous gases and foul air
and firemen into smoke without fear of
asphyXiati tion. 1t will also render prac-
ticable submarine boats.
Ample proofs of all that is claimed
for it were given at the academy. Two
men put on diving dresses from which
all air was excluded and remained in
closed two hours. Afterward the same
men remained under water in the Seine
during half an hour. The experiments
are creating the greatest interest in sci
entitic circles.

Magnetism and the Eye.

1t has been discovered that the crys-
talline lens of the human eyeis slight
ly diamagnetic or subject to magnetic
repulsion. AS stigmatism-the com.
monest cause of defective vision and
the most frequeHt excuse for spectacles
is merely slight distortion of this
lens, ii has been suggested that treat
ment with powerful magnet properly
applied may result in forcing the lens
into proper shape, or at least in great
ly remedying the distortion.

STUDY FOREST FIRES
Important Investigation by the Di-
vision of Forestry.
Effort to Learn what 60 Expect from
Fire and How 60 Deal with Burnt-
over Areas--seed storing
of Trees.

An investigation of forest fires and
being pursued by the division of fores-
try of the department. of agriculture
through Prof. c. S. Crandan, lately of
the Colorado experiment station at
Fort Collins. This work, which Prof.
Crandall began some years ago as a
collaboration of the division, will be
carried on chiefly in the northern part
of the state, where the prevalence of
Lodgepole pine makes the conditions
very different from those in the south.
The investigation is an important one,
for until the forester knows what to
expect from fire and how to deal with
burnt-over areas, he can 40 little in
a region where burning has been as
extensive and is still as common as in
Colorado.
In this investigation the examina-
ton of the first stages of reforestation
will be made on areas of which some
were burned over 13 years ago, and on
which Prof. Crandall has already
made surveys and recorded progress at
different periods since. In the case of
the old fires of which there is no rec
ord, the date of burning can usually
be determined by the age OF the trees
which came up after the fire, and the
necessary surveys and measurements
can then be made. Special attention
will be paid to the causes which make
the cones of the Lodgepole pine open
and distribute their seed. These are
not yet understood, and in view of the
trees habit of storing its seeds in the
cone. often for many years, and set
ting them free when killed by fire. are
very important.
Prof. Crandall will have four as
sistants and will begin his examna-
tion in the Medicine Bow range.
From there he will WORK down the
Continental divide to the neighbor-
hood of Longs peak.

Democratic Views of Lincoln In
the Civil War.
OPINIONS IN THAT CRISIS
Contrasted With What They Say at
Present.
LOOKING BACK TO THE OWL WAR

Arguments of Bryan Today the Same a.
Those In the storm aud Stress of the
civil war-same Charges Against Lin.
co,, ma Are Made Now Against the
Present Republican Administration.
Republican voter who was on the
stage of active life during the civil
war and remembers the Infamous
treatment that Abraham Lincoln re-
ceived at the hands of the Democratic
PARTY and press, will not be deceived
by the sham laudations of Mr. Bryan,
or the complimentary references to the
great war president by the Democratic
national platform this year. These are
mere traps to catch new voters-men
who were not old enough at that
period to know of the depth Of infamy
to which the Democrats descended IN
their abuse of Lincoln and their oppo-
sition to the war for the maintenance
of the Union.
No man in American political his
tory (unless it be Washington him
self ever received so much vulgar
abuse as did Abraham Lincoln at the
hands of the Democratic press and ora
tors. He was habitually referred to as
a tyrant, a gorilla, baboon, Nero,
a Caesar, and an imperialist. He was
accused of violating the constitution,
of having departed from the principles
of the Declaration OF independence, of
having desire to overthrow the re-
public and set up an empire, ana the
same cry of imperialism was raised
against him as is now raised against
Mckinley. 1t was alleged that the i'm
mense Union army would be used to
subvert the liberties of the people,
crush the republic, and set up an i'm
perial regime. The absolute folly OF
all this is patent to every observer.
Only third of a century has passed,
and we find the chief apostle of DEM
ocracy, and the party itself, in its plat
form, lauding Lincoln and deplering
the departure of the Republican party
of today from the precedents he SET
There is no warrant for this. Abra-
ham Lincoln was a progressive man.
The Republican party is progressive
There is no doubt that, were Lincoln
alive today, he would be in the van Of
the Republican party and a stanch
supporter of every policy which 1t
enunciates. The Democratic cry this
year is the same as it was 81 years
ago Below are given number OF
extracts fyom Democratic newspapers
of Ohio in the campaigns of GA. They
have a familiar ring today, because,
allowing for the change in conditions,
the charges brought against the Re-
publican party by Mr.. Bryan and his
crowd. are the same that were brought
in those years OF civil war:
