CONVICTS IN PARLIAMENT.
There Have Been Many Members who
Have Served Terms in
Prison.

Michael Davitt is the most conspic-
uous of the present members of the
British parliament who have occupied
seats in that body after having served
terms of penal servitude, says the Chi
caro- Chronicle. Mr. Davitt's term was
u years. His experience is by no
means exceptional. j. f. Y. O'Brien,
one of the members for Cork city, was
in 1867 sentenced to be hanged, drawn
and quartered, sentence that was sub
sequently commuted to penal servitude
for life. James O'Connor, who sits for
West Wicklow, was condemned to seven
years penal servitude in 1868 and spent
several years in convict prisons. In
1918 John Martin was removed from
the dock in Green street courthouse,
Dublin, to penal cell in Newgate pris-
on, preparatory to undergoing a SEN
tence of ten years transportation.
Mr.. Martin was afterward, from 1870
to 1875, member for Meath, and it was
on his death in the latter year that Mr..
Parnell stepped into parliament for
the first time as his successor in the
presentation of Meath. DR.. Kevin
1zod O'Doherty, who sat for North
Meath for little time after the 1855
election, was, like Mr.. Martin, sem
fenced in 1s4S to ten ears'transporta-

BRYAN FOR FREE TRADE,

At Macomb, ILL.,, Bryan put his trust
policy into sentence, saying that he
would put every article manufactured
by trusts on the free list, and he would
require a trust organized in one stat2
tc take out licenses in all other states,
That would be short cut to absolute
free trade, far worse than the Wilson
law, which did so much mischief, and
cost American workmen their jobs and
their wages. So that Bryan's election
means free trade, as stated by him Oct.
3, 1900. The other thing that he talks
about has already been declared i'm
possible in effect, by the United States
supreme court, by its decision that
congress has no control of maunfac-
lures or any form of industry or bust.
ness that is not actual commerce be-
tween the states, so that congress
could not require the license that Bry-
an proposes.

MINCE PIES AND DREAMS.
visions of the Night Are
Promoted by Indulgence
in the Pastry.

IT is interesting to note that the par
taking of mince pie at evening may in
duce bad dreams. but it is hardly prof
liable to speculate deeply why my
dream took the form of leering
demon with the impolite habit of
squatting on my chest, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The stuff that
dreams are made of is not susceptible
of that type of analysis. The most
generous allowance must be made for
condolences and irrelevancies and ii
must be constantly remembered that
the obscure phenomena of psychology,
and. indeed. the phenomena of more
thoroughly established and intrinsic"
ally more definite sciences, cannot be
expected to pass the test of detailed
and concrete combinations of circum-
stances. In other classes of knowledge
the temptation to demand such explicit
explanations of observations and eX-
perieuces is not so strong because of
the absence of an equally strong per-
sonal interest; but that clearly does
not affect the logical status of the
problem. The reply to this argument
can readily anticipate; and / confess
that my admiration of Hamlet is some
what du,led by reason of that ill-ad-
vised remark to Horatio about there
being more things in heaven and earth
than are dreamed of in our philoso-
phies.
The occultist always seizes upon that
citation TO refute the scientist. He
prints it as his motto on his books and
journals. and regards it as slow
poison that will in time effect the de-
struction of the rabble of scientists
and reveal the truth of his own
psycho-harmonic science or heliocen-
trio astrology. 1t is one thing to be
open minded and to realize the incom-
pleteness of scientific knowledge and
to appreciate how often what was ig-
nored by one generation has become
the science of the next; and it is a very
different thing to be impressed with
condolences and dreams and Fremont
tions and to regard them as giving the
keynote to the conception of nature
and reality, and to look upon science as
q misdirected effort. Such differences
of attitude depend frequently upon
a difference of temperament as well as
upon intellectual discernment: the
man or woman who flies to the things
not dreamed of in our philosophy
quite commonly does not understand
the things which our philosophy very
creditably accounts for. The two
types of mind are different and q am
citing Prof. james, "the scientific
academic mind and the feminne-mys-
tical mind shy from each others facts
just as they fly from each others tenn
per and spirit"

THE EMPIRE" TODAY
BRYAN KNOCKED THE PINS FROM
UNDER THAT ISSUE.

cud vnt. or 1t.
When Bryan, in his Washington
Qnd.) speech asserted that "the gov
ernment can not be converted into an
empire unless the people want an en-
pire," he completely knocked the un.
oerpinning from under his entire para
mount issue.
In saying that, he simply said what
tie Republicans have said from first
to last, always and everywhere
throughout the campaign; and he SIM
ply reaffirmed what has been in Nc
kinley's public papers upon the sub
ject from first to last, and has been
the presidents purpose, as it is the
requirements of the constitution and
o. the laws, that congress, represent
irg the people, is the final and sole
authority in the whole matter.
Supposing that Bryan was sincere
n his Washington Qnd) speech, it
amounts also to a confession that his
talk about imperialism, his argument
that the country is rapidly drifting to-
ward a military despotism, all his
harangues and appeals about the sol
diers of the United States, as if they
were minions of tyranny, really come
back to an impeachment of the Ameri-
can people. since the people, as he now
says, are the sole and only source OF
authority in this entire matter and
nothing can be done, except what the
people wish to have, then imperialism
and militarism, and all the spirits OF
evil that he has summoned, and that
he dances as puppets upon the stage
of his speech, have no vitality what
ever, unless the people please to give
them life and vigor. Consequently,
every time he talks about these things,
lie thus owns himself guilty of insult
to the intelligence or to the integrity
CT the people, whom he asks to elect
him to be their president.

AT TER CARL SCHURZ,

A call is made upon Carl Schurz to
defend his own conduct as secretary
Of the interior under President Hayes,
in pursuing and shooting down the
Nez Perces Indians under Chief Jo-
seph, for crimes against the authority
OF the United States, far less than
those which he now defends in Agui-
n2ldo and the Tagals. Everything
that he now denounces in Mckinley
ard the American army in the Philip
pines, he did at that time, and with
the heartiest public approval, because
1t vas a proper public duty. If he was
rGht then, by the same token the pres
eAt administration is just as right.

IN THE Philippines.

1t is not at all sensational nor sIr-
pris!ng that letters of the Filiplros
show that they are basing their hep
on Bryan, and that they have been
unusually active OF late in order to
further Bryans campaign. The trou-
BILE is. that the Fiiipinos overlook one
point-that Bryan is playing false
with them when be promises that the
United States viii give up the Philip
pines. The president cannot do this
without the consent of both houses Of
congress. A consent on the part of the
senate is out of question, and the Dem
ccrats Of the south have declared, as
openly as is possible, that they will
never consent 10 giving up the Phil
ippines, as they consider the possess
sion of these islands of absolute neces-
sity for the development of the south.

Nineteen hundred is a very crafty
lrg year for America abroad. One OF
the phenomena of the close Of the
nineteenth and the opening of the
twentieth century is the position our
country has taken in two years. Be-
fore 1898 no ruler or minister in Eu-
rope was interested in American opn-
icn or action. Now the situation is the
reverse. Every cabinet reckons on the
attitude of the United States in formu
lating plans"
Every Bryan vote will be a vote to
undo all this, and set the United
States back into the background.

NATURES CURES THE BEST.
Air, Light and Water Are Sovereign
Remedies for Diseases of
Mankind.

Tired people more or less run down"
may like to have particulars of the air
or nature cure so popular in Germany
just now.
The system, says the London Mail,
is said to represent a reaction against
the overuse of drugs and serum. 1t
appeals for the natural life as the true
remedy for i'll health. In the lovely
woods of Dresden and in various other
captivating spots in Germany patients
undergoing the cure" are counted by
hundreds. They come from Russia,
America. Africa, Australia, India, even
from far-ofT Siberia and the Ural noun
tains, while England contributes four
hopeful invalids to the crowd. The
open-air bath is one method of treat
ment. In various palisaded Enclosures
men, women and children, arrayed in
the scantiest permissible garb, battle
themselves in the air, indulging mean
while in sport, play and exercise for
varying periods.
An interesting illustration of the
cure" may be found in Nansen's son
ohoNshoes lhrouSh preehlahu' lie
tells of Eskimos on the east coast who
took their air baths habitually by
throwing Off their clothing IN their
half-warmed huts at evening, and so
kept strong and well. Under Dansh
influence and European teaching as to
the proprietes, they gave up their air
bath and were ravaged by consump-
tion.

spaces for what is termed the lying

Rapid Growth of bacteria.

It is the power of proliferation that
renders the bacteria so formidable.
They multiply by simple divisional
separation in the middle. by which
there result two complete individuals,
and this growth and division often oc-
ours once in half an hour or even often
er. SIN one day each bacterium would
produce over 16,5OC, 900 descendants,

terra would form solid pint and weigh

ISSUES SINCE ELECTION.
Remain the Same ns During the Cam paign nnd Republicans VIII He
 Held to Them

"It is fortunate for the party in power" said President Mckinley. in his late speech at Philadelphia, If it understands the true meaning of the result of the elections"
 Indications are that the party in power, if the utterances of it's party organs are an index, have entirely sapprehended the true meaning.
 Republican party organs as a unit are placing upon the November elec- tions constructions which are entirely unwarranted by the results. They in- fer that the elections have put an end to the issues of imperialism and mili- tarism; that the American people are pleased with the Philippine war and eager that it be prosecuted to tho conquest of those islands by resort l to the most violent measures.
 They claim that the lIamiltonian tendencies of the Mckinley admins tration have been approved and that the American people see attractions in an English governmental system such as Hamilton favored; that the American people are in favor of grab ping territory wherever shadow of an excuse to warrant such seizure stands out. Some have even gone so i far Is to assert that the American people favor trusts
 None of these inferences are war ranted. The results of the election 1 show rather that those who lead the 1 thought of the American people are l ~11 Al.
 It may be said without any slight of the population of the country dis tricts of the nation that the cities lead in public movements. not because of greater mental power, but because of greater proximity to the sources of information. In the cities. with re- markable uniformity the republicans sustained great losses. In Boston and New York republican maiorities were converted into democratic ma l jorities, and in all the big cities sim- 1 liar falling off in the republican vote was apparent.
 l The just inference is that those i who voted on the immediate issues in the last campaign voted against Me- l Kinley.
 | Moreover, the republican party or i gans during the campaign did not de- bate or defend imperialism, militarism and trusts. Their labors were con- fined to an agitation of the prosperity which they declare had characterized the administration of William McKin- ley and to denunciation of the demo- cratic candidate for his policies in 1896 and of the men who, they charged, would form his cabinet should he be elected. They made and won on other issues than those put forth as paramount in the democratic platform.
 Having carried the nation on the issues they made, the American people will hold them to those issues. They cannot, after the election. make para mount those issues which, before the election, they ignored or denounced as specters and bugaboos. The recent policies of Mckinley. his Philippine war, his increased standing army. his British Nicaragua canal, his Hamil- tonianism do not stand approved. They are in suspense, waiting to be passed on by the people when other campaigns throw them to the front. i St TOuis Renublic
