SENATOR FoRAKER's SPEECH.

Amidst a tumult of applause Senator
Foraker went to the platform, and
when quiet was restored began to
speak, first thanking Alabama for the
courtesy In yielding, but attributing
that fact to the overwhelming popular
ity Of the candidate. AS Mr.. Foraker
continued he was repeatedly interrupt
ed with cheers. His announcement
that the nomination Of Mckinley was
equal to an election in November
brought vociferous cheers. He spoke

AN INSPIRING DEMONSTRATION.

Mrs. Roosevelt Smiling and Happy
Over Her Husbands Triumph.
1t was an inspiring demonstration.
Mrs. Roosevelt looked Gown upon it
from her position Of vantage In the
side gallery. She was pale, but ap-
peared smiling and happy. The DEM
onstration continued for six minutes
and forty seconds.
The delegates still choked the aisles,
grasping the governors hand, and with
difficulty the chairman restored quiet
and recognized Butler Murray, Of Mas
sachusetts, for a speech, seconding the
nomination of Roosevelt.

Sudden Storms.

Gethsemane, like a basin in the
midst of surrounding mountains, was
peculiarly liable to storms sudden and
fearful in their coming and equally
speedy in their departure.
No better description of them can
be found than that of Joaquin Miller

to storms in the Pacific, in these vivid
words
"Then swift, like some sulked Ajax,

And sheeted crimson lay wedge

Whatever of trials or tolls we en-
dure, 1t is comforting to know thai
Jesus himself is engaged In interces-
sion for us at the very moment while
we suffer.

CHINESE SLICING.

That China may be dismembered by
what are termed "The Vulture Ma
lions" is not improbable, but that is no
reason why this government should
participate in the crime. The reply
will be that we must protect our mis-
sionaries and commerce. AS to the
missionaries, they should go, If at all,
and stay, at their own risk. If they
want to convert Chinese, there are
enough of that race here to give them
steady employment in that direction
without going abroad. Moreover,
Christianity cannot be forced upon
people by shot and shell, nor by du-
plicity and fraud. 1t must be done by
those who have the true spirit Of the
gentle Nazarene in their hearts.
AS to commerce, the total imports of
China are but $17O, 100000 a year. or
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1900-07-20

thereabout, of which 60 per cent goes
to Great Britain, the remainder being
nearly all divided between Japan and
Germany, with little for the United
States. This commerce could not be
much extended, for the simple reasons
that not one Chinaman in ten thou
sand could afford to buy American
goods even IL he wanted them, and
should any considerable demand arise,
there is an enormous amount of cheap
home labor to make them. To par
ticipate in a Chinese war means at
least half billion more Of expendi-
lures and enormous taxes, whereby we
should have to pay $1O0 eventually for
every dollar of additional exports,
while by opening up natural opportu-
mites to all right on our own soil, thus
supplying unlimited work and liberal
pay to all own own people, we could
increase our home trade by at least
two billions annually-a dozen times
the amount of all the Chinese imports
from all other nations.
The one right thing for the United
States to do with China is to leave it
alone. The one right thing for Chris
tian missionaries to do in China is to
get out.

changes are induced in them. The cells
when too long kept incandescent be-
come shrunken and fatigued. The
brain cell thus wearied can be anat-
omically distinguished from one that
is fresh and vigorous. The fatigued
cell speedily RECEIVERS itself when al
lowed to repose, the strain of activity
being shifted elsewhere. But too fire.
qrently repeated fatigue leads to
premature establishment Of these
changes in the cells-changes that are
incidental to old age. The grand rule
for the adjustment of work and play
would seem that they be so balanced
as to call into regular play all the Gf-
ferent systems Of the brain with due
regard to the relative developments.
No experienced physician should have
much difficulty in advising any man
as to the nature and duration Of the
recreation in which he should indulge.
One great principle to bear in mind Is
that play should be as remote as pos
sible from the work. 1t Is lamentable
to see stockholders spending their
evenings at cards or lawyers, unless
briefless ones, in gratuitous arguments.
The Sabbath has been life-saving in
stitution and should be jealousy main
tanned. An occasional day off takes
the place of periodical bloodletting,
and the annual holiday is essential"

COMMON SENS S.

Reason Is mans most precious en-
dowment. 1t is the possession Of rea-
son that makes him the roof and
crown of things. The most pitiable Of
all creatures is the man who has lost
his reason. In the light that reason
throws upon his path man walks Sc
curely. When that light fails him he
gropes in helpless darkness. Yet,
strange as 1t may seem, there are those
who seek to discredit human reason
and try to dissuade their fellow men
from exercising it. Contemners of rea-
son, to whatever calling they belong,
are blind and unsafe guides. But
those who, in matters relating to his
temporal well-being at least, seek to
dissuade man from using his reason
ought to be regarded as the worst en-
emies of the race. 1t is only through
the exercise Of his reasoning faculties
that man has raised himself from saw
agery to civilization. And the dregs
most advanced civilization owe their
existence to the fact that their right
to continue to be has not been earn
estly and seriously challenged by rea-
son. How could the degrading poverty
and restitution that accuse and dis
grace our most advanced and pro-
gressive societies exist, if men used
their reason to search out the cause
of the hideous anomaly? How must
reason have been stifed before men
could be brought to recognize in any
man vested right in the woes and
miseries of his fellow men! 1t is
surely not under the guidance of rea-
son that our lawmakers fine industry,
penalize enterprise and foster forestal-
ling and monopoly. Reason would GER
tainly guide men to the just source Of
public revenue in that never-failing
fund created by the presence and ac-
tivities of the community whose ex-
istence creates the need for such
revenue.

Striking, novel and of peculiar in
terest, especially as showing the way
in which bridge-making will develop
in the future, is the new bridge which
is building to connect New York with
Brooklyn. Perhaps the most popular
feature is to be bicycle path, COW
cred with asphalt carried at certain
height above the tracks for trollies
and for carriages. This bicycle track
is to be for the exclusive use of wheel
men, and the opposing streams OF
traffic will be carefully divided. Be-
meath the bicycle track is footpath
for pedestrians, and above 1t the track
for the elevated railway. On each side
are double trolley tracks affording ac-
commodation for four cars abreast,
while the outer sides of the bridge
are reserved for carriages and We
hicles going the same way, 80 that the
traffic will be as little impeded as pos.
sible. The bridge Is to be 1920 feet
long, or nearly quarter of a mile
longer than the present bridge, most
of this increased length being taken
up by the approaches.

BRYAN AND MONNETT.

A newspaper man who accompanied
Bryan in his recent trip through Mich
igan and Ohio gives the following &C.
count of the meeting between Bryan
and Monnett, the Republican attorney
general who got after the Standard
Oil trust and was downed by Mark
Hanna.
Hardly had Mr.. Bryan seated him
self in the car which carried him from
Columbus to Detroit today when he
was greeted by slender man whose
earnest face and candid eyes marked
him in the throng that pressed around
the Democratic leader He was Frank
Monnett, the Encouragement of Ohio,
who was politically degraded by Mark
Hanna for enforcing the antitrust law
against the Standard Oil company.
"Mr. Bryan congratulated Mr.. Mon
nett heartily on the courage and intel
ligence he had shown in attempting
to honestly enforce the law. 1t was
an extraordinary scene, pregnant with
meaning.
Here was faithful public officer,
who refused bride of 100000 and
dragged the most dreaded law-breaker
in the world to the. bar of justice.
spurned and punished by the leader
of the Republican party, thanked and
honored by the leader of the Demo-
cratic party.
1.-THE meeting was almost accidental,
but it was none the less dramatic and
significant. The two men looked
earnestly into each others faces and
shook hands. Could there be any
thing more suggestive than that spec
tacle?
"Mr. Monnett, the unbribable, I'M
terrified attorney general, who dared
to do his duty and succeeded in bring
ing the monstrous Standard Oil COM
pany to its knees, was condemned by
Mr.. Hanna and thanked by Mr.. Bry-
an"

Their Insin"erity Manifest.

From the Dubuque Herald: The
people will not give the Republican
party credit for sincerity in proposing
legislation to control trusts at the last
moment of the session when they
knew that it was impossible to get any
measure through congress before the
hour fixed for adjournment without
delay. They put very low estimate
on public intelligence IL they suppose
that the people can be fooled by so
transparent sham. II there were
nothing else to indicate insincerity
this alone would be sufficient.

London special to the New York
World and the Chicago Tribune: Sir
James Crichton Browne, M. D., vice.
president of the Royal Institution, one
of the highest English authorities on
mental and nervous diseases and au-
thor of several works on those sub
tects, in reply to the question: How
is life to be divided between work and
play so it may be made brightest and
longest?" writes: "The man who gives
himself up wholly to play is an inc
briate, requiring reformatory treat
ment. and even that may not save him
from premature decay. The man who
devotes himself exclusively to work Is
a glutton, who damages his constitu-
ton and curtails his working days.
But how Is the moderate man to lay
out his time between work and play
to the best advantage? There Is and
there can be no general rule in such
matters. If, however, some general
indication Is insisted on. should say
the trades unionists have come as
near the mark as may be. with eight
hours work, eight hours play and eight
hours sleep. If play is taken to mean
all conscious existence not devoted to
breadwinning, eight hours is not ex-
cessive for handicraftsmen, but If 1t
means active amusement, then much
smaller dose will suffice. But the av-
erage brainworker would be foolish
who drove his pair of cerebral hemis-
pheres as much as eight hours day,
be they ever so willing. The brain,
as we now know, does not act as a
whole simultaneously, in all its parts.
Rest during the continuance of con-
seriousness Is as essential as Is sleep
to the integrity Of the nerve cells, and
when this rest is withheld and activ-
ity is pushed too far, then fatigue

Ono View of weaIth's Distribution,

The Rev. ]. H. Kelley, of Pittsburg.
in discussing the creation and distri-
button of wealth in this country, finds
that very small minority, numeri-
cally, is gathering in by far the great
er part of the stupendous increase OF
things worth having. He says:
I'VE have population Of nearly 75,-
900 900. We have grown in wealth
more rapidly than any modern nation.
Our population has multiplied with
out precedent for the past hundred
years. But our wealth has increased
much faster. Yet, strange to say, as
wealth increases the proportionate
number of those who have control of 1t
decreases. About $4,000 persons in
this country now own about one-half
of the wealth. That is, one person
owns $4,000 for every 5000 persons
that own 81 each; or, one person owns
$50 900 for every 5000 persons that
own $1O0 each. Or to put this into
another form-about one person in
each rs owns twice as much as all the
other Is. That is, neseventy-fift of
our people own two-thirds of all our
wealth! One million citizens own
twice as much as the other seventy-fve
millions. The force OF this can be
more fully seen when we consider that
a generation ago, or 40 years ago, be-
fore the civil war, there were not more
than 10 persons in this country that
were millionaires; now there are not
less than 10000 persons who control
or count as their own million dollars
or more each. Most of them have from
one to twenty millions, but there are
about twenty persons who own hfJy
millions or more each. These colossal
fortunes were made very largely with
in the last generation, and inheritance
had very little to do with but few OF
them. So the question is, how were
they amassed? And the further ques-
ton, has the body polite received an
equivalent in service and wealth for
these millions?"

WARNING CRY BY COCHRAN.

w. Bourke Cochran in addressing
the graduating class of the Yale law
school said that the young men of the
graduating class were entering their
profession on the eve of the most mo-
mentous decision ever given by a
court, referring to the pending ques-
ton before the Supreme court of the
United States on the constitutional
status of acquired territory.
"Should the Supreme court decide
that the constitution applies to newly
acquired islands. and that their prod
ucts and their people have free access
to our shores, to our ports and to our
marts of trade, both political parties
will be as earnest in their desire to be
rid of them as one party already seems
to be-" said Mr.. Cochran.
"The right of the United States to
take territory is not disputed. The
annexation of Canada is a wish OF
many Americans. The annexation of
Mexico is not an improbability, nor
the taking in of South America an i'm
possibility. Nor Is the annexation of
part of China today quite so fanciful
as three years ago the annexation OF
the Philippines would have been con-
sidered. 1t is not impossible that
twelve months hence the annexation
of part of the wall Of China may be
burning political question.
"If, on the other hand, the Supreme
court should hold that the constitution
of the United States does not hold,
then, too, the consequences are mo-
mentous. A government policy can
be changed, but the decree OF the court
stands irrevocable. What might be
the status of the president in any
countries in which congress would set
up the government? The president
might, it is quite conceivable, remain
a Republican magistrate only in the
original republic, and his status in tho
dependencies range from that to a
despotic military ruler.
MIGHT REMOVE THE CAPITAL.
Indeed, congress might remove the
capital from Washington and set 1t up
outside of the bounds of the constitu-
ton which created it. 1t could levy
taxes, not for the benefit of the gov
erned, but for the benefit Of the gov
errors These are consequences which
might flow from a decision of the
court. You can now measure for your
self the magnitude Of the question
which the court can decide by ita
declaration"

The Hon. Peter A. Porter has writ
ten to the Niagara Falls Cataract
Journal calling attention to a relic
Of the struggle between England and
France century and half ago
which lies about mile and a half
above the falls. 1t is nothing less than
the outlines of one Of the block-houses
which were built by the English Tor
the protection of the Portage Road,
which ran to the present site of Lew
iston from the old stone chimney near
the rivers bank. According to Mr..
Porter, no other authentic relic of that
period is known around the falls. An
effort is being made by the Niagara
Frontier Historical Society to have the
relic preserved.
