A BRYiN DEMOCRAT.

David b. Hill appeared before many
people at the Armory last evening and
tried to convince himself and others
that he was a good Bryan Democrat.
He made poor work of it. AT the begin
ming of his speech he said he had no
apology to make for supporting Bryan
and Stevenson, and then made his apol-
ogy by saying that whatever the ma
jority in convention decided on was
good enough for him. In the light of
some not very ancient history this is
richness. Mr.. Hill as Bryan Demo-
crat is not very impressive. Come to
think of it, who is?

NOT ALL PROFIT,

The trusts are not all profit In an
attempt to show that investment in
mining is not more hazardous than in
vestment in trusts, Mr.. w. ]. Arkell.
the well known publisher, calls atten-
ton to the fact that In the last four
years fourteen industrial enterprises
have been organized with an aggregate
capital of $612, 500, 900. in which the profit
made by the underwriters or capital
lists engineering them Appropriated
$40 100000 There We're also organized
in the same period sixteen other indus
trial companies with a combined capt.
tai of $796, 100000, in which there was a,
loss to the capitalist or underwriters of
$51 ,573,190. These figures are based on
the market quotations on October l.
They show that there has been a loss
of $27, 900 in the promotion of indus
trial enterprises in the four years.
These figures will cheer the hunters

Of such studies What right have bust
ness men to expect boys to write legi-
bly,, spell correctly, to read duently, to
apply arithmetical principles in solving
practical business propositions when
the boys only training in these
branches was received at an immature
age? What right has the State to eX-

to apply the teaching thereof in solving
current social and economic problems,
if those citizens knowledge of history
and economies was secured before the
age of thirteen years?"

DETECTIVE CAMERAS.

Cases in Which They Have Done What
Nothing Else Could.
1t Is only within the past decade
that photography has been used to any
considerable extent in legal proceed
ings. For a long time after their dis
covery photographs were not permitted
in courts as evidence; now, however, a
photograph of a document, If vised by
a notary and declared true copy, has
almost the same value as the original
exhibit. Many photographers do more
or less legal work, at least they photo
graph letters or documents for the use
of lawyers.
The proprietor of a shop on Fulton
street, however, is the only photo
grapher who confines his business en-
tirely to this class of work. look
through the piles of negatives on his
shelves gives one a pretty complete
idea of the uses to which lawyers nave
put photography. Perhaps the most
common use is in accident cases, where
the photographs are introduced to show
the spots where the catastrophes took
place, or the defects in machinery or
construction that were responsible.
Some of these pictures have interesting
histories. In one case a railroad train
had run into loaded coach at grade
crossing, killing every one on board
and carrying the bodies nearly
thousand feet. BY making all haste
photograph of the spot was made the
same day. 1t sowed that the Look
Out for the Engine" sign was at one
side of the road surrounded by shrub
berry and scarcely to be seen from
along the road. Before the next morn
ing the employees of the railroad had
cleared away all the debris, cut down
the shrubbery and trees and moved the
sign into a conspicuous place. The
photograph was the most important
piece of evidence in a successful suit
for heavy damages against the COM
pany.

In another case a marble cutter had
set up monument in a certain ceme-
terry, When he presented his bill for
the work, however, it was refused, oW-
Ing, he believed, to religious prejudice,
and the owners of the plot alleged that
| the work was miserably done, that
words were misspelled, and the stone
was full Of cracks. The proprietors OF
| the cemetery apparently "in the deal,
refused to grant permits for photo
| graphing the stone, saying as an ex-
cuse that the plot was so crowded that
| it was not possible to focus on the
stone with a camera, AT 8 o'clock on
a winter afternoon the attorney for
| the marble cutter called on the photo
| grapher and asked him to try snap
shot Camera and tripod are always
| packed in a valise ready for instant
use, but ii was a long drive to the
cemetery and it was perilously near
sunset before the cemetery was
reached. Admission was refused at
the gate, SO the photographer drove
half mile along the wall and at last,
though portly man, managed to
squeeze through the fence. He soon
men, apparently grave-diggers, were
lettering. The camera was ready for
snapshot before the plan was detected.
The men rushed for it, and one of them
had his spade in the air to smash it,
when the bulb was pressed. Then
there was race between heavy man
with the camera and three Others with
spades. The camera was thrown over
the fence and the picture was safe.
Next day in the court room the picture
showing a very creditable piece of
stone work, without a mistake of
letter, was put in evidence, after half
a dozen witnesses had sworn that the
monument was a botch and full Of mis-
spelled words. The jury gave a verdict
for the stone cutter in less than five
minutes.
a case in which the camera was strik-
ingly useful for preserving evidence UNI
til the forgery could be detected is that
of man who had forty checks of which
he knew only twenty could be genuine.
He was entirely at loss to identify
the forged ones, but having recourse to
the photographer, obtained perfect i'm
ages of the whole collection and kept
them until, by having them greatly en-
larged, certain individual peculiarities
appeared and he was able to pick out
the bad from the good.
1t is in forgery cases that the cam
era does some of it's most effective
work Dozens of cases could be cited
where handwriting enlarged twenty or
thirty times has shown Enthusiastically
either the guilt or innocence of an al
legged forger. The ability of the cam
era to detect alterations not visible to
the naked eye is not so generally known.
A certain release from mortgage, for
example, was brought to the expert to
be photographed. There appeared to be
nothing suspicious about it. The pho
tograph, however, showed few faint |
marks over one of the signatures. En- |
larged thirty times, these marks could |
be connected to form plainly the name |

NOT A BRYAN DEMOCRAT.

Many have been looking for something
from Grover Cleveland that would show
his attitude toward Bryan and Bryan
ism. 1t has finally come. Mr.. John S.
Green of louisville wrote to Mr.. Cleve-
land asking him if he had changed his
views on the financial question as ex-
pressed in his letter to Chicago bust
ness men on April 10, 1895. Mr. Cleve-
land replied that he hadn't, and said
that he couldn't state the case better at
this time If he should try. In this letter
he said: Disguise as we may, the line
Of battle is drawn between the forces
of safe currency and those of silver
recommendation. l will not believe that
if our people are afforded an intelligent
opportunity for sober second thought
they will sanction schemes that, how
ever cloaked, mean disaster and con-
fusion, nor that they will consent by
the foundation of safe
currency, to endanger the beneficent
character and purposes of their govern
ment"
1t is interesting to compare this with
David B. Hills apology for being a
Bryan Democrat.

Il RE4I DANG Err,

The people of this great, glorious and
still comparatively free country refuse
to be scared by imperialism" but some
good citizens think that unless the peo-
pie wake up to the danger that con-
fronts them they will lose their liber-
ties. Possibly they will, but Just now
imperialism doesn't seem to be the most
dangerous danger. Ambassador White
in recent address at Cornell pointed
out that our government has less to
fear from Imperialism than from dem
agogism. We believe this to be true.
Those who are bowling about imperial
ism and calling upon ancient Rome
to furnish lessons to this republic might
well turn their attention to the dangers
of demagogism. Ancient Rome had her
demagogues as well as her tyrants.

IN EDUC4TOR ON mon sCH00Es

Mr.. Lewis, Superintendent of Public
Instruction in Minnesota, is one of the
educators who do not think that q
public high school should be a prepara-
tory institution for college He adj
vises teaching of practical subjects,
better suited to the position in life
which the majority of high school
graduates are to occupy. Where it is
possible he would have two courses,
one practical, as he calls it, and the
other for the qualifying of the few
who desire to prepare for college His
practical, useful information permitted
to a pupil of the public schools is Of
fered to him before he is thirteen
years old. On entering the high school
the pupil lays aside his practical studies
and takes up the various studies, more
or less abstract with which he is hence
forth concerned during the four years
of his high school course. THUS,
comments the Superintendent, lit is
only while the pupils are mere children
that they pursue useful, practical
studies. Hence the pupils can have

A New York paper has the views of
druggist and a physician about the
ownership and control of prescriptions.
They agree that the person who pays
for it has no rights whatever The
druggist says he must keep the pre-
scription for his own protection, and
that the law recognizes his right be-
cause pharmacists have been required
to bring original prescriptions into
court. The physician says: 1.-The phar
macist should keep the original pre-
scription, as a protection for himself,
but he should also give a copy of it
to the patient. No prescription should
ever be filled from this copy, which
should be so designated, and no pre-
scription whatever given by doctor
should ever be refilled except by his ac-
quiescenee, and there should be a law
to that effect

A British temperance journal has
been publishing a prescription for "a
substitute for brandy" in cases of
faintness or severe pains. 1t contains
of "equal parts of the strongest tinct-
ure of ginger, sol volatile and chloric
ether" Temperance people have had
the recipe printed on cards and dis
tributed with the injunction; Pass it
on The Lancet cruelty points out
that brandy usually contains about SO
ner cent. of alcohol, whereas of the
temperance ingredients the tincture of
ginger is essentially pure alcohol, the
sol volatile contains alcohol in the pro-
portion of six parts out Of nine and
one-half and the chloric ether has So
per cent of alcohol. The mixture,
therefore, contains SO per cent. of al
cohol, compared to so per cent. in
brandy, and is, the Lancet has no
doubt, extremely efficacious.
