Tit For Tat.

An East st Louis dispatch saws:
Messrs. Bryan an Roosevelt shook
hands across the political chssm to-
night at Alton. Their private cars
came alongside in the yards. Each
stepped upon the platform and rec
ognlzed the other at once.
"Hello," said Roosevelt, thrusting
out his hand.
"Hello," quoth Bryan, grssping
the extended hand. Chow is your
voice?"
otis rough as the Populist plat
form.-How is yours, Colonel Bry-
AMI" laughed Roosevelt.
"Mine is as broken as Republican
promises" retorted the Nebraskan,
laughing, too.
Then everybody laughed and
chesred, the Democrats with Bryan
shouting "Hurrah" for him, and
Roosevelt's followers yelling for Nc
Kinley. The meeting came wholly
by chance and was as cheerful as it
was picturesque.

describes the character of Mckinley.

party advantage, nor denounce q
principle which he would not espouse

In connection with the above in
creases of prices exacted by these

The prices of the producers of the
raw material which goes into the
manufacture of these articles have
not been increased so far as these
producers are concerned, as they get
~ AASAO ASA tuCii piOuuSls InAD tneN
did before these trusts increased the
prices to the consumers.
Every manufactured article not
controlled by trusts is today selling
for the same or at less price than
before these trusts were organized.
thus showing that the lsboring men
who are manufacturing these goods
are receiving no more wages than
formerly. The statistics show that
the workingmen receive no higher
wages in factories where trust
goods are manufactured than thew do
where those not made BY the trusts
are manufactured. Added to all this
the cost of living has been increased.
as shown by the foregoing table.
All persons who vote to continue
the administration under which these
trusts have hourished may expect to
continue paying these increased pri
ces for the next four years.-Shep-

Line signs are growing more and
more favorable to the democracy "a
the campaign progresses, observes our
esteemed contemporary, the Northern
Neck News. Colonel Charles Mar
shall, that grand old veteran, who
stood at Lees side in the trying hour
OF the surrender, and who opposed
Bryan In 1896, has recently given out
an interview in which he attacks the
imperialistic and trust ridden policy
OF the present administration, and
urges all patriotic people to support
Bryan. Speaking of this change on
Colonel Msrshall's part from his at
titude of four years ago, it is remark
able to note the difference between
the support that Bryan is receiving
IN many instances today, and that
which he received in 1896. In 1896
silver was the great, predominant is
sue-ergo every Bryan man was a
free silverite. There was hardly any
line of demarcation other than I6 to
l. Today how different. Colonel
Marshall, Carl Schurz, Senator We'll
hngton, and thousands of other men
differ from Bryan on the silver issue:
but they recognize the fact that i'm
perialism and trusts are issues of far
more vital Importance than any theo-
ry OF finance, when in these o uestions
are involved the very integrity of re-
publican institutions. Recognizing
these facts, they array themselves
with the patriot against the despoiler
and opposed the continuance of an
American administration which has
heretofore rendered itself infamous
for a trucking subserviency to the
trusts, for a syoophantic inclination
to lick John Bulls boots and for q
blatant disregard of both oonstitu-
tional restrictions. The strength of
every building is really in its Pounds
ton. The strength of the American
Republic is also in its foundation.
and that foundation is our constitu.
ton. 1t is the foundation rock. |
against which, hitherto, al petty leg
islative waves have broken, under the |
search-lght of judicial construction,
and been scattered. This is the pres
ent point of attack on the part of
administration. They
are undermining the constitution; the
foundation on which our past great
ness was built and on which the hopes
Of our future rests. They are sap
pers and miners. The assumption of
sovereign power in the Philippines,
under title derived from q grantor,
whose rights we had disputed, was
the first section of the tunnel leading
to the mine. The refusal to recoe.
nize Porto Rico's right to the terrific
rial privileges of free trade was con.
'inuance of the work begun. These
things, men who differ on the our.
'ency question, but who love their
country better than their pockets,
recognize. Today there is not the
same one-question enthusiasm that 4
here was in '96, but there is to the
'ilver forces added an element that
FOUR years ago stood aIoof. 1t is the :
element of conservative business. I
which sees dark danger ahead and is t
unwilling to sacrifice the integrity of
'ur government for a little immedi-
tie gain. Therefore we say the pros
'eots are brighter than in 1896. Bry- :
N has lost no supporters, he has q
aimed many and while the battle /
nil be bitter we believe that right
ill triumph and the Republic be !

CHEYENNE CITY ELECTION.


Cheyennr. WyO., Jan. 9.-The city
election for three counCilmen. passed
on quietly today. The weather was ex,
c~eptionally fine. The total vote east
was ITO. out Of a total registration of
more than 1000.
Two republicans and one democrat
were elected. Robataille (democrat) in
ward one: Vreeland republican, ward
two, and Davis (republican) ward three.
This is a gain of one for the democrats.
the three outgoing councilmen being
all republicans. The city council now
stands five republicans and four demo-
Gratis. The general result is regarded
as a triumph of the gambling element,
as in ward two. where the district is
sue vas raised, Turnbull, (dcmOcrat).

There is an unconfirmed report this
morning which says that the Admirali-
ty has chartered the American Liner
st. Paul.
TRANSvAAL REPRESENTATIVE
Dom Paul's Diplomacy Concerning
Some Hospital Work.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Mail advices
are just coming to hand from United
States Consul Macrum, explaining in
detail the situation in Pretoria at the
outbreak of the war, and his WI con-
duct respecting the representation of
British interests in the T~ransvaal. 1t
appears from these that Macrum, like
his successor at Pretoria, Mr.. Hollis.
was placed under technical limitation
in the exercise of his functions by the
BOer government, and while he was
permitted to disburse funds sent to him
by the British government for the CON-
toria, he did so in the distinct stipula-
ton that he was acting unoficially.
Possibly the motive of the Boer gov
eminent in refusing to allow the Amer
lean consul to act officially, was a de-
sire on its part TO force the British
government into some official recogni-
ton of the status of the South Afri-
can republic. If so, the effort failed,
and Macrum and his successor, Hollis,
have gone on in their WORK of mercy
without molestation from the Boer
government.
This object being secured, and there
being little else at present in the nature
of business touching British interests
in Pretoria that requires the attention
90 , anrorortn, i,n ~ tlat a-t
the state department here is disposed
to allow the situation to drift along
without change or protest because the
Boer government has not seen fit to
allow the American consul 10 act in an
official manner. There is nothing in
Macrum's report to throw the faintest
light upon his inexplicable action in
leaving his post in the middle of the
war

conductor whom he knew Congress
man Lands of Indiana would have had
an embarrassing time while travelling
to Washington recently. While chat
ting with a young lady acquaintance
whom he met on the train, MI. Lands
saw a stranger watching him closely.
Then the stranger held an animated
conversation with the conductor, in
forming the railroad man that he was
a detective and that he was looking
for a diamond robber whose descript-
ion exactly tailed with that of Mr..
Lands. With some difficulty the con-
ductor d~issipated the officers suspic-
ions, and, at the next stop the sleuth

FOR THE HORSELESs CARRIAGE.

FOR THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
The most perfect spring we can have
is air under pressure, and a pneumatic
tire is the best yet known of putting
that spring into use. It's use a
deformable envelope, which must be
well and strongly made, capable OF
withStanding not only repeated de-
formation at high speeds, but under the
worst possible conditions as to wear
and-tear by the cutting and abrading
Irregularities which effect the worst of
the reformation under an insistent
load. The envelope, moreover, must be
easily detached and replaced, and capa-
BILE of w~ithstanding high tangential
tensile stresses as well as the continu-
GUS stress due to an internal pressure
of 30 to so pounds per square inch. 1t
does not appear to be recognized, that,
even with rubber, there is a limit to
velocity of transmission of impact, and
therefore a limit to the velocity of i'm
pact under which rubber Will bend, or
extend, and not break. The higher the
speed. therefore, the greater effect OF
road abrasion and the more frequent
the conversion of an abrading stone in
to a cutting stone. The past year has
probably seen the limit Of endurance
approached by the distinctive co-action
Of high speed and heavy weight.-W
