Two Important Amendments.

Missouri voters, as far as can be as
c~ertained, + practically a unit in ia
vor of the Louisiana Purchase Centen-
NAL exposition, to be held in ST. Louis
in 1908. In order to comply with the
conditions laid down by congress-, and
to enable the fair to be held, the two
constitutional amendments 4 and 5
must be carried at the November cleo
ton. AS already explained Amend
ment No. 4 merely authorizes the city
of st. Louis to issue $5,000,000 in
bonds, and invest the proceeds in
Worlds Fair stock. Electors through
out the state should have no hesita-
ton about giving the city of st. Louis
this permission. Amendment No. ) au-
thorizes the legislature to make APP
preparation out of the interest and
debt sinking fund for a Missouri state
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. This will
impose no additional tax burden,
while the benefits the state will de-
rive from an exhibit of it's
and products can hardly be estimated
in dollars and cents.

The Fly on the Ceiling,

walk upside down. They do not ACCOM-
plish the feat by adherlng to the ceiling
by means OF little air pads attached to
their feet as many suppose. They walk
on the ceiling and on glass by meann
of capillary attraction, the operation
OF which is accentuated by means OF
little drops of oil which eXude from
hairs on their feet. Every time Il fly
walks over n window pane 1t leaves be-
hind 1t series OF tracks. invisible TO
the naked eye. perhaps. but composed Of
little spots Of this delicate oil.
One scientist counted the hairs on a
fiy's feet and found an average Of be-
tween 10000 and 1900, from each OF
which flowed the minute specks OF oil.
This oil is absolutely necessary to the
fly when walking on vertical surface.
II pane of glass should become wet or
very dusty II would be impossible for
the fly to walk over It, because In the
one case the flowing OF the oil between
the hairs and destroying the strength
OF the capillary attraction; in the other
because of the clogging of the hairs
with the dust.
The effort Of the fly to get rid OF dust
can be noticed by any one. The insect

weliington,s waywardness.

Mr.. Bryan in his tour through this
state undertook to defend the course OF
Senator Wellington, OF Maryland. and
incidentally repeated an untruthful con-.
tention Of that gentleman. who alleges
that his reason for quilting the Rcpub-
lcan party was that the President
promised him he would give the Fill
p,nos independence il he would vote to
ratlfy the treaty of peace. The asser-
ton is SO ridiculous that 1t is scarcely
worth denial. The President has no
power to, give independents to the FILL
pinos or! any other people under the
Jurisdiction of the United States gov
crnment. That power is vested solely
In Congress. But as Mr.. Wellington
has iterated and reiterated the charge,
T 1t is we'll enough to call attention to the
denial OF Senator McComas. Mr.. Well
Clngtons colleague in the senate. He
says that he was present at the inter-
view with, the President that yelling
ton speaks OF and that Mr.. Mckinley
gave no assurances OF the character
mentioned. Senator McComas' word is
as good as Senator .Wellngtons. Under
THE circumstances we believe he is the
more credible witness.
In this connection we are glad to note
that Mr.. George Snyder. formerly OF
this city, but now. residing in Cutnber-
land. who was one OF wellington's right
hand men In his aspirations to the SEN
atorship, refuses to follow his leader
into the political oblivion that surely
awaits him. A correspondent OF the
Baltimore American, In telegraphing to
his paper from Cumberland, says:
George Snyder. one Of Wellington's
personal and political friends and for
,mer member of the Republican state
central committee for this county, told
me that, in becoming Democrat, Well
,llngton would have to flock by himself
so far as his former followers were con-
icerned, as none would go with him."

Bryan and the Tariff.

Senator Burrows in his magnificent
speech at the Opera House. Saturday
night, did well in calling attention to
the things that were back OF Bryan,
who is masquerading behind the mask
of his so-called paramount issue OF i'm
perialism. Mr.. Burrows told his audi
ence that one of the greatestdangers of
Organism was free trade, which would,
surely be lnaugurated were he to Be
elected.
The Washington Star awake to this
danger to the Industries OF the country,
says that part of the cry against i'm
perialism is based upon the assertion
that the people rcsroanlng under tax
alton levied to support the new policy.
Call home the troops from Cuba and the
Philippines and not another dollar! OF
the war taxes will be necessary, the
Bryanltes will tell you, II anti-lmperIal-
ism wins at the polls. therefore, there
Will accompany the triumph tacit In
structions to the new Congress to re-
tNasS 'hS iCNtuues Iot tIlS ooppUEl VI Tue
government
The Republicans agree that the war
taxes should be reduced, and they
would have brought in bill for that
purpose at the recent session of Con-
gress had there been time. But II the
Democracy Is returned to power, and
Mr.. Bryan. as he promises. calls an ex-
ira session of Congress, the question
will probably be left to the new Con-
gress to settle. Probably, too, in that
event the question will be enlarged, and
instead Of only looping or the war
taxes the Democrats will go further and
revise the whole Dingley law.
Mr.. Bryan's influence In such clrcum-
stances would all be In favor OF a deep
cut. He Is an extreme low tariff mar.
He was elected to Congress on that
issue. was made member OF the ways
and means committee because OF his
tariff views, and he assisted in the pre-
,paratlon of the famous Wilson bill.
That bill. as 1t left, the hands OF Mr..
Bryan and his friends OF the house. wis
condemned by Mr.. German and his
friends OF the senate as n failure. Re-
ductions had been SO extreme that, as
Mr.. German insisted. the bill would
cause n heavy deficit. Whereupon the
Maryland leader and his friends pro-
cecded to reconstruct the measure and
to spice the schedules literally with
protection. The general result was q
botch, and the country greatly suffered.
But Mr.. Bryan's views on the tariff
question underwent no change. He left
Congress. as he entered It. free trader,
and, although his silver views have
since occupied so much OF public atten-
ton, whenever he has had occasion to
refer to the tariff he has made It plain
that he still regards protection rs q
very great evil. And II he reaches thu
white house, even on the issue OF I'm.
perIalism. he may be expected to use
the Influence OF his office as much In
favor OF free trade rs OF free. silver.
And, as already stated, in the matter OF
reducing the war taxes, that question
will come pat to hand"
