PeopH of Peerto Rico Want
: Government.

San Juan, 2. R., February q
The people Of Puerto Rico are
showing some signs of discourage
ment at the failure of congress to
provide government for the is
lands. The local Spanish papers
have printed many articles critics
lug the American government and
the American people and policy.
The ARMY and navy officers gave
a ball on the evening of Washing
tons birthday issuing invitations
to many. The editor of local
paper was invited to attend the
exercises but refused, saying he
could not participate in the celebra-
ton Of American holidays until
the island had been recognized as
g part of the United States and
been given a government. He
said: "Whst we want are deeds,
deeds, deeds, and not words.

DON'T LIKE CHURCH BELLS

DON 1 LIAE III |. nh bn1S1Ao-
Rev. Bruce Brown, of Denver,
declared in a sermon last Sunday
that the use of church bells is an
imposition on intelligence and IS
no more necessary in reminding
people when church eonyenes than
the ringing of bell is necessary
to tell them when a theater or
other entertainment begins, and ne
declares that he unmerciful elang-
ing of bells is the worst form of
Sabbath peacebreakilg, tortnring
the nersS of the SEX and waking
up those M Sc labors eoinpeithem
to sleep or Sunday and whose
health is dependent to quite 81
extent on the absence of loud
noises on that day of rest.
While some of Rev. Brown s
arguments against the church bells
are certainly good, We do not
think the majority of the people
agree with him, else there would
he laws silenciug the bells, outside
of which means we can conceive Of
no way for him to stop the noise,
except by persasding church peo-
pie To omit the bell ringing. All
churches do not have bells, and
they seem to have as large con-
gregations and get along about as
we'll as those that do.

The Alleged Movement for OIney.
Washington Post.

washington POST.
There is said to be "a movement in the
West" especially in Indiana, for the SUBJ
stitution of Richard. Olney for Mr.. Bryan
as Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. We suspect this movement is
not characterized by great velocity or mo-
mentum, and that whatever progress IL
may achieve will not be due to the efforts,
approval, or sympathy of the regular
Democrats in Indiana or elsewhere. They
appear to be we'll satisfied with Mr.. Bryan,
and present indications point with almost
absolute certainty to his nomination. But
If any unforeseen happening should induce
them to look for a substitute, Richard Oh
peys name would certainly not occur to
them. Aside from the third term objec-
ton, Mr.. Cleveland would be rather more
acceptable to the friends of Mr.. Bryan
than the distinguished Bay State states
man, for Mr.. Cleveland stands with Mr..
Bryan On the expansion question, while
Mr.. Olney is on the opposite tack
II Richard Olney were President of the
United States, he would meet all the re-
quirements of that great office. His ca
pacity in statecraft was attested as at

he could not carry his own State or Sec
tion 1t Is certain that he could not Sc
cure the support of Massachusetts in the

Not until the Democratic party gets
ready TO dissolve the alliance with Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans; not until II
and goes back to the conservatism OF its
earlier days, will it call for the Leadership

Wife of an Old Circus Man Talks OF
Him.
Philadelphia Inquirer.

Him.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The death of Dan Rice, clown, circus
owner, the forerunner of p L. Barnum,
recalls to one Philadelphia family in par
ticular the career of one of the most re-
markable men in his line that ever ca
tered to the amusements of the public.
Richard Hemmings, of Cos North Tenth
street, who, in the sixties, was the part
owner of the Hemmings q Cooper Circus,
paid Dan Rice in the season of 1867 S2l,-
500, which was a salary of $1,000 week.
According to the recollections also OF the
earlier inhabitants" of this city Dan
Rice gave full equivalent to the public in
so far that he furnished fun by the whole
sale.
Mr. Hemmings is in Baltimore. at present
attending the great Elk meeting, but Mrs
Hemmfngs. who was one of the Whitby
family, equestrian performers, in those
golden days of the circus ring, Is inti-
rnately acquainted with the life history
Of Dan Rice. Mrs. Hemmings, already as
a child performer, looked upon Rice as
the greatest circus man, then alive, and
her "reminiscences of him would fill a vol
ume.
'It seems a long. long while ago when
the name of Dan Rice became known to
me-" she said. ST remember distinctly,
however. how the country went wild over
Rices antics in the sawdust ring. The
older residents Of this city should recall
easily how he made them shake with
laughter. His history, of course, it is not
for me to recount here, but from per-
schal standpoint, and that of my hus-
band. who his employer once. we
had much to do with Rice. How he lost
fortune on fortune, reformed his ways and
again lost his all. will some day become
part of circus history. In fact, as I under
stand it. Dan Rice was writing the final
chapter of a book about himself when he
was taken off. Two years ago he called
or us and stayed over night at the house
He was. of course. not the same Dan Rice,
who used to amuse the public and his
fellow-performers alike Bun there was
enough of the old favorite about him to
make the visit one we shall long remem-
ber'
