copperheads, said: "The election Of
Lincoln means war, anarchy, and
disunion. These are the issues in
volved in the elections of October
and November" In an editorial
article on Sept. "a, 1864, the Gin
cinnati Enquirer announced: 'Lin-
coin has destroyed the Union and
subverted our republican form Of
government. On November 8,
1864. the Ohio statesman, another
copperhead organ, declared: Gun
der the administration Of Abraham
Lincoln the Amefiean government
has lost most of the features which
distinguished it from the despotisns
Of the old world"
The Bryanite declaimers constant
y arraign the republican party for
its disregard of the declaration of In
dependence and contempt for the
consent of the governed. In the
same tone the Cincinnati Enquirer
said on July a; 1864: ssHow many
fine and glowing periods have we
rounded off in favor of the doctrine
OF the Declaration of independence
that all just governments derive their
power from the consent of the gov
erned, and yet we are employing
millions of men and billions of treas
ure in the most sanguinary war of
modern times, to force a govern
ment upon an unwilling people. !"
AS against Lincoln, Vallandigham
was repudiated in his own state by
the largest majority ever cast against
a man in Ohio. As against Lincoln
in 1864 Mcclellan, representing the
copperhead democracy, received
only twenty-on electoral votes out
a total Of 233. The result was so
decisive that copperheadism was
kept in the background by the dem
ocratic;leaders untilsit made its ap-
pearance in 1900 under the same old
auspices and, as the foregoing quo-
tations show, with the same old argu-
ments.

ECHOES OF 1864.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Although
Mr.. Bryan has abandoned anti-im-
perialism as paramount" issue,
scores of democratic declaimers still
go about the country denouncing
the "despotism'' of Mckinley in the
Philippines
In the name OF liberty these men
inveigh against the tyranny at
Washington: They describe luridly
how dire are the consequences with
which Mckinley threatens our re-
publican institutions. Some call
him king" others emperor
Had these men set out to prove
that the democracy Of Bryan in 1900
is the same as the democracy Of
Vallandigham in 1868 and 1864,
they could hardly have given
stronger evidence of the fact. Hard
ly more than a glance at the copper
head press Of thirty-six years ago
lis needed to prove this.
For instance, on Oct. 10, 1864
the Cincinnati Enquirer, then as now
the organ oftl1e copperhead dernoc-
|racy, said: "Our government can
not endure another four years, reign
ofsAbraham Lincoln. = On Oct, S
the same Journal under the head OF
aThe two imperialists Napoleon
and Lincoln, said: "There will be
the most cordial relations between
France and the United States should
Lincol1 be reelected. The two i'm
|perialists will harmonic admirably. =
The Niles Republican at about the
same time predicted: ''If Abraham
Lincoln is reelected president the
liberties Of the people are gone for
|ever." !" The cleveland Plain Dealer
joined the democratic chorus with
this: III Lincoln is reelected we
will never again have peace or. union
in this land The New York
World Of Oct, ~ said: ssPtesident
Lincoln has shown that nothing
would restrain him from any further
desperate and la8less acts necessary
Ito perpetuate his hold on power =

women do their shopping, Half of
them don't know what they want.
You just watch awhile and you1l be

just then a woman whose huband

eral pieces, and she picked out one
that suited her as to color. When
the price was stated she turned up
her nose in disgust.
"I want something good" she said.
II don't want cheap stuff"
"Here," said the clerk taking down
another piece Of the same color, is a
piece similar, but of finer quality"
The lady examined it m6lpent and
ordered Il number of yards cut Off,
for which she paid nearly double that
asked for the first piece. After she
left the store the clerk explained that

A Paint Mine.

About mile from Bennington,
VT, is paint mine that has been
delyed into for sixty years, In spite
of the fact that its contents resemble
nothing more valuable than red and
yellow clay, 1t has yielded larger
sums of money than many a great
gold mine. The material, which
seems cXhaustlcss in quantity is
known to commerce as ochre, ana IS
used extensively us color base and
in the manufacture Of paper and oil
cloth. II is chemically known as OK
ide of iron, or iron earth, and is
formed by the breaking down and
crumbling of iron ore through the
influence Of oxygen, The ochre Is
reached by means of horizontal shafts
or tunnels, dug in the side of hill.
When the deposit is reached it Is
found in red and yellow layers that
dip and rise successfully. The de-
posit is easily dug with pick and
shovel, and in it are often found
beautiful crystals several inches in
length, and "water-pots." or crusted
and hollow Jumps partly filled with
water
In preparation for the market the
raw ochrc is passed through grinders
and is cIeansed by streams Of water.
When it is left to dry. Then il is
grouM to powder, packed in barrels
and shipped to market. Go to the
nearest paint shop and ask to be
shown some yellow ochre and get q
painter TO explain how serviceable 10
Is in his business.

EXPERIMENTATION on lha Mo.e.

There are a number OF superstitiona

OF existence and as they are harmless
the world might possibly be a loser

other hand, quite a variety Of preya-
TENT beliefs will suggest themselves

.Vanced intelligence OF thspresent day,
and that could very well be done

handed down from time immemorial
Ia to the effect that whistllng girls

with ~ lse who do not Indulge in
these departures from what by infer
ence must be taken as the correct
rule.
The twentieth century Is doubtless
going TO witness multitude OF revo-
lutlons In every department OF human
knowledge and activity, The century
which is just ending has not been
without influence IN this direction,
but mighty as lis achievements have
been In throwing of the shnchles OF

The wonderful achievements Of the
century now closing have so en-
iightnn"d the minds Of men they no
longer dcride any new announcement
in the way of scientific discovery, so
II Is not at all astonishing to find
that liquid air has already attracted
the attention of capital So con-
vincing are the results attained by
Prof TIpler's experiments for pro-
ducng this new force chenpy, and
so astonishing are the possibilities
Of liquid air ns un initial motive
power n company has been formed
to manufacture this aew product on
commercial PRINCIPLES and for COM
mercial purposes. The Triplcr Liquid
Air Company has capitalization a
Sl0,0O0,00O in $1,000, 900 shares, and Is
now producing liquid air at a nomi-
nal cost which is being used instead
of coal to oimpart energy to mOchin-
cry and taking the place of ice for
refrigeration, II is the opinion Of
conservative flnanciers that this
liquid air stock will show 80 great
an earning power in the shape of
dividends that it will soon be quoted
at ten times its face value. Liquid
air cuts the expense Of motive pow
er more than so per cent, while on
railroads and steamships it affords n
corresponding increase II freight

earning power Of train and steam
vessels by gaining the cargo space
now devoted to coal. Liquid air
