MT. Bryan Upon Expansion.

William Jennings Bryan is first and al- ways an American. although efforts have been made to write him otherwise. He comes from a section of the country where un-American.sm is unknown. They would perhaps in his state treat the disease as they would horse stealing. Be this as 1t may, he is an American, and ever has been.
 His position upon the Otis campaign has often been mistakenly stated. He has con- sistently and consistently urged the re en- tion of tn army in the Philippines until the hast rebel is conquered. He believes that Aguinaldo should be put down, not by negotiation, but by force of arms. He does not believe in pulling down the flag in the face of an enemy. But when we have conquered the Philippines he grave!y doubts the policy of holding them as colo nies. He does not like a colonial system, because 1t is undemocratc.
 He has recently defined his position as to expansion, in these words: q am a firm believer in the enlargement and ex- tension of the limits of the republic I do not mean by that the extension by the addition of contiguous territory, nor to limit myself to 'that. Wherever there is a people intelligent enough to form a part of this republic, it IS my belief that they should be taken in Wherever there is a people who are capable of having a vote and representation in this government. 'tLaere the limit of the republic may be extended
 These patriotic declara Cons place Mr. Bryan in line with Jefferson Monroe and Polk, all of whom were great and practical expansionists. He expressly d!scards the narrow doctrine of contagious territory. | He would annex any territory that con- | tains possible American citizens | Some of our Alabama statesmen, gnclud- | ing one who is trying to break into the senate, will have to vigrously move up if | they are to keep step with MT. Bryan, for he is an expansonist of the Jefferson schoo-a school that has trebled the size of the country in century's time.

rings across the dawn. Ring bells, ring! and in all the jubllation that breaks upon the air there is no prouder note than that which sounded in the pure and beautiful young soul at the crossing of the streets. It is not of significance that she noted or cared. It is not of consequence that she was una ware that she seemed daughter of the sun, child unkissed, and that men loved her because they loved to love! That matters not At the crossing of the streets she was the high priestesss in the noblest form of worship that can pertain to mate rial things. She goes her way; leave her go so. But she Is bound to many souls by ties mo time can sever." She goes her way with the wealth of hair kissed of the southern sun.

  "A wandering minstrel, a thing of shreds and patches, paused at the door beyond which my Lady Dainty sat and laughed an hour away. The minstrel gave forth from his stringed instrument many joyous ju- bilant notes of love, and her little lady ship heard and rocked not. It was not of moment, but when tho music rose and feil
 
 and fell. Her lips were half parted, and great eyes brimmed with tears never shed. There were in her proud spirit nameless joys and unnamable longings. She will go her way in her own good time.
 It comes to this in the end, o my beloved. It is woman that works for the redemption Woman was first at the Cross and last at the Tomb. About her is wreather and con- secrated all that we hold dearest in the world. She calls us from sin, from un- righteousness, from the wayfarer's darker path. She calls us to God! As sweetheart, she blesses and is blessed. The bride at the altar in the consecrated house of God is the incarnation of purity and the noblest sen- timent of the human race. Nothing more beautiful reaches the infinite Master of us all than the hushed whisper of woman's prayer. Give me the prayers, the good will of women, and care not what men may say.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 The most valuable things in a woman's intellect are the things that are left out.
 Most men get engaged before they know their minds and get married before their wives know theirs.
 There probably never was a baby that didn't get its first tooth lot sooner than most babies ever do.
 Every woman says what she doesn't think about men and every man thinks what he doesn't say about women.
 Songs have to be written about women or they are not a success. The only songs written about men are funny one, where the man is generally drunk.

Mitchell.-in charge of the recruiting station in this city and Mont gomery. Twenty-Five years ago nearly every man who applied was accepted In the rank and file were illiterates, drunk ards, and all sorts of disreputable fellows It is not so now. The standard is high es- pecially as to physical requirements and moral character and this is of course as it should be. Since coming here on the Sth of December, I have accepted only sixteen applicants. Within the past few days the war department has issued an or- der allowing a little margin in the matter of chest measurement and this will ad- init several good men whom I had reject ed. Our regulars are fine specimens of manhood. They are certainly carefully se- lected. Every now and then a fellow ap- plies for enlistment who is rejected simp- ly on his appearance.

PRINTING WITHOUT INK.
A Chemical Decomposed by Electric
ity Makes "A Point of Great
Clearness.

A process of printing without ink
is gaining favor in England 1t is done
by means of electricity, which acts
from the face of the types upon damp
paper containing chemical which the
electricity decomposes.
The print obtained by this process
says Newspaper Maker resembles
in clearness copper-plate or litho-
engraving, and is obtained in a
more simple manner than by letter
press printing. The ordinary printers
type forms, stereotypes or relectrotypes,
constitute in themselves a suitable
printing surface, and may be used in
similar way, merely coming in con-
tact with the damp paper to form the
print The chemical additions 10 the
paper which make it susceptible to the
electric current are to be added to the
pulp, and are said to be so cheap as to
make kenoappreciablea addition 10 the cost
of the paper. Vhe paper does not de-
preciate by keeping in stock, and can
be supplied either in reams or rolls. 1t
is claimed that all printing presses now
in use can beadapted at slight expense,
for electrical ink,ess printing. The
only changes will be to leave off the
rollers and all of the movable parts of
the mixing apparatus, fit sheet Of fine
rolled zinc around the eyclinder as a
conductor, connect the negative and
positive poles from the electrical supply
on the press, and it is ready TO print.
The same motor that runs the press
will supply the current for printing.

The Perry correspondent, after
a silence of several weeks has
again broke loose in the metropoli-
tan press. Here is the latest;
"The .Otoe and Iowa tribes of In
dians have broken off all friendly
relations and declare they will not
visit one another hereafter.
1t is all due to the eating Of dog
meat by the Iowa tribe. At their
quarterly feasts the Iowa Indians
slaughtered hundreds of fat dogs,
fed the meat to their guests and ate
il themselves. The Otoes became
disgusted with eating dog meat and
read the riot act to their neighbors,
saying that they would not appear
at their feasis again If any more
canine meat were served to them.
The Iowas replied that their faith
ers had ieasted on dog meat, and
that they were true to tribal ira
ditions. So relations between the
two bands have been broken and
no more visiting with each other
will take place"

ing columns of dry leaves or hay in
summer and autumn are evidences of
the existence of such upward currents.
But the aeronaut can detect them on a
larger scale, and penetrating sometimes
far aloft. This, says the National Re-
view, is only what might be expected
from statistics relating to such phe-
nomena where they occur in greater
earnest in other parts of the globe.

showers have arisen on the west coast
of Africa and descended again on yes

land has been visited by a storm Of

have had its origin in Vesuvius; how
showers of fish or of frogs have de-
scended from the sky, having been
swept into lofty regions entangled in
the bosom of a whirlwind sufficient to
bear them whittier it listed. The dust
of Krakatao, committed to the lofty
winds by the force of its own eruption

ward courses almost without limit be-
fore settling TO earth weeks or months,

ILLS OF LONGEVITY.
Extension OF Life Beyond Natural
Limit Involves Only Labor
and sorrow.

The London Spectator, discussing DR..
Metchnikoff's recent researches into
the possibility Of indefinite extension
of life, does not regard IL as an unmixed
blessing, and quotes Sir Thomas
Browne, who knew ali the resources Of
old age, as one who did not ENVY the
temper OF crows and davis, nor the nu-
merous and weary days Of our fathers
before the flood" There are many 9TH
ers, like Sir Thomas Browne, who think
they have had trouble enough in grow
ing old without burdening themselves
with the new trouble of getting young
again. Though threescore years and
ten are not now generally regarded
as the natural limit Of life, since santa
tion and medical discoveries have inn
proved the average health, still the
Psalmist was correct in his assertion
that an extension of life much beyond
that limit involves only labor and sor-
row, The desideratum is not so much
that the normal duration of life should
be greatly increased, but that when it
is increased the ills which it brings
should be mitigated or lessened as far
as possible. If medical science during
the coming century shall so far advance,
for instance, as to discover some meth
cd for strengthening the stomach and
the liver, when pessimism
gives the signal that the organs have
passed the days of their usefulness, it
will be a great gain and old age will
not be burden. But If livers are not
then longevity will be SO ham
dicapped as not to be desired by anyone.

INTEREST IN WEATHER.
A Peculiarly Of the National Capital
which Impressed Woman
Visitor.

There are some peculiarities in
Washington 1 never observed in any
other city said a woman on her first
stay in the national capital, accord
ing to the New York Sun. Nearly
everyone has a weather bulletin. These
bulletins are furnished on application,
and once your name is on the list the
bulletins are sent daily. If you move
and the house is vacated the bulletins
are sent Just the same. j never saw a
place where everybody seems so much
interested in the weather. One day
hired a cab and the driver thrust one of
these bulletins in my lap. 1 have seen
weather bulletins tied to the wire pro-
teetions which are around all the trees
in Washington. They hang over the
box Office windows Of the theaters, in
the doors Of the stores and. of course.
in the corridors of the hotels. You find
them in every elevator and 1 have seen
them in the street cars. IN most cities
polite society taboos weather as a topic.
In Washington il is kept before you
wherever you go.
"Iasked auumber of my friends for an
explanation. but never heard a salts
factory one. One woman came nearer
an explanation than the men asked.
She sais: Washington is headquar-
tiers fsr weather. They make it here Tor

The work of the "claqucurs" Is not,
as will be readily seen, intellectually
of Il very high order. The chief is sup

The men under his orders, scattered
here and there under the chandelier,
are merely parts of the machinery, and
they would no more think of applaud
ing OIL their own account than they
would think of flying.

of mention in the same company with
eminent claqueurs. The part he ap-
Ilauded happened to be the only good
scene in the whole play. His sense of
art, unfortunately, was stronger than
his idea Of duty. Seized with uncon-
trollable enthusiasm, he, the only man
of taste among the claque, made the
house ring with applause. He is now
one of the most eminent dramatic crit
les in IParis.-Wide Wide World.
