TeIegraphed Up One Flight.

That New York is big city which the stranger seldom learns very well, was quite forcibly impressed upon a certain we'll known Californian q few days ago. He was charging about ia the business district and suddenly re- membered that he wanted to telegraph to friend whose offices are at 195 Broadway. The Californian dashed into the nearest telegraph office, wrote out his dispatch, and covering it with a coin, passed it through the wicket to the receiver. The receiver smiled What is the matter?" demanded the Californian. Why this is 195 Broad way" said the receiver, .and your man is up just one flight of stairs" There was confused period that lasted about second, and when the Califor- nian got his nerve back he calmly said: T know that Let it go anyway. guess l can telegraph across this room or this counter if I want to and have the money. We do that thing out in California every day for a joke

The following lines were written Gin Freneh) by Adelina Patti in response to a request that she would describe briefly her feelings while singing: T have never been able to take proper account Of my feelings during those few moments. l know that on the day of the performance I am nervous and agitated, and as the time draws nearer and nearer 1 suffer more and more from stage fright. When the mo- ment arrives for me to leave my room and go before the footlights, my whole being is dominated by a sensation of abject terror. My feelings while I am actually singing defy analysis; they differ according to the role, the num- be- of artists around me, etc.-they are so varied that I simply can not de- scribe them. l should be obliged to enter into all the many details which, petty as they may be, at times impress us very strongly.

Time system.

"The twenty-four hour system of keeping time has just become the of ficial standard in France" said MT. Jules Lacori, of Paris, at Chamber lain's.
 'The twenty-four hour clocks are all ready an established institution i'll Russia, and I believe that their official sanction in our country will lead to the adoption of the system on French rail- roads, which would surely lead to the extension of the plan throughout Italy, Switzerland and Spain. I should think, considering the manifest merits of the new way. the railways of the United States, which are the most progressive in the world would soon take it up and have done with the ancient system so confusing and misleading through the enforced use of a. m. and p. m. The twenty-four hour clock system is an ideal one for the railways, absolutely preventing all danger through the dup lication of hours for day and night. It is the coming system, and { look to see it in operation in America in the near future. Washington Post.

BRYAN'S MONOPOLY.

At New Philadelphia, Ohio, Bryan
said he was not as rich as he had been
represented to be, and he explained
how he had accumulated what pro-
perty he has since 1896 as follows:
II made part of it out of a book
which nobody bought unless he
wanted the book. 3"
Nobody buys anything from any
monopoly unless he wants it. The
question is whether he is compelled to
pay an exorbitant price.
Bryan's book could be had for one
fourth the present price if not copy
righted and free to anybody to print.
It is the copyright monopoly alone
which enables Bryan to charge four
times the competitive price It would
not be so bad if the book was bought
by the rich or well-to-do, but. accord
ing to Bryan's own assertions.
these people do not care for Bryan or
his book. He claims that his follow
ers are impoverished sons of toll, and
it does seem hard he should make
such people pay four-fold for his book.
Why does he not practice what he
breaches, and let anyone who wishes
print the book SO it can re-sold to poor
people at competitive prices2
But you will never catch Bryan TAX
ing his own medicine.

trial interests-the protective tariff

that will force American labor to
compete with the pauper labor of

pledged to aid in the establishment
of soup houses to feed the idle people
of the land that were brought into ex-
istence through the folly of recent

are just the ideas that Mr.. Matthews

test against such a policy cannot be
made by the people of this, the proud

GOV. LIMBS REMARKS.

In his remarks here Saturday, Gov.
Lind had the air of a man, who felt it
was all over but that he must keep
talking for appearances. He labored
under the disadvantage of a poor
voice, put in bad shape by much talk
ing, but he had not the life that char
acterized him two years ago, nor did
he exhibit the hopefulness that was
then such characteristic of his ad-
dresses He uttered the same COM
plants which he is making in all of
his speeches around the state. He
talked about the Republican machine
and it's dreadful work, but he ignored
entirely any reference to the Tammany
machine he and his man Rosing are
engaged in building up. He also sung
his old story, which he wore
threadbare two years ago, to the effect
that he had not changed at all, but
that it was the Republican party that
had changed, and it changed, he said,
because its leaders forced it to. And
yet the Republican party today stands
for the same principle it did when
Gov. Lind was a member of it and in
congress voted with its representatives
for protection which he now repudi-
ates, because the party he now trains
with is against it.
He made the same great claims as
to what he had done as governor, and
put the blame on to the Republican
party for what had not been done. He
said that he wanted to equalize taxa
tion but the Republican legislature
defeated the very bill he recommended
because the machine demanded it.
The reason why the bill was defeated
is plainly set forth in an editorial
elsewhere in these columns. The gov
ernor failed to tell how it was that the
great Republican machine had so
much influence with several Democratic
senators who voted against his re-
Communications.
In closing Gov. Lind said he bel lev
ed in the state first and his party
second. From the way his state ap-
pointees are scurrying around the state,
working in his behalf it looks very
much as though at the present time
the governor had gotten to the second
part of his belief, and his looking out
for himself regardless the party.
The defense of his administration
was yerysslabored effort.

vided for in the present gross earnings
tax law, and will hardly care to take
chances on q scheme evidently gotten
up in the interest of few railroad
centers. The friends of the double
faced bill ridicule the idea that rail-
roads would ever think of changing to
direct taxation, on account of the an
noyance and trouble in getting the as
sessments adjusted, but it should be
borne in mind that if this were really
SO it would have been the easiest
thing in the world to have eliminated
this feature from the bill. That no
change of this kind was ever at
tempted from that source clearly
proves that it was not desired, and the
eagerness with which railroad centers
pushed this particular provision gives
force to the popular opinion that di-
rect taxation was the sole object of
the bill This matter is of consider
able consequence to the taxpayer and
should be presented in it's true light
and without regard to political ex-
pediency of any party. The people de-
mand an increase of the gross earnings
tax, and the Republican party is will
ling that it be granted. The bill de-
feated two years ago favored direct
taxation instead, under cover of cum
ming provisions, and no one need to
be ashamed to have voted against it.
There is no good reason for having it
optional with one party to accept or
reject proposition, unless the same
privilege is granted to the other side
That this thing was attempted at the
expense of the taxpayers of the state
is not to the credit of those in favor
of the scheme and should be emphatic
ally rebuked at the polls the coming
election.
Senator Young in an open letter has
thoroughly shown up the falsity of
Gov. Lind's position, and wherein the
gross earnings tax is and will ever be
a growing volume of revenue for the
state, while the direct tax would be
of a diminishing nature rather than
a growing one. He shows wherein
under a direct tax the railroads
would remove everything possible
from the state, that could be taxed,
to adjoining states where direct taxa
tion is not in force and as a conse-
quence our state would suffer from it.
The gross earnings tax is all right and
the Republican party have no objec-
ton to it, or to its being increased,
but they do not propose like Gov.
Lind to ride two horses, the principal
one of which would be more favorable
to the railroads and against the in
terests of the people.

FOR MCKINLEY.
Bishop Ireland Gives Reasons Why He
Will Vote For Him.

Speaking of political matters while
in New York d few days ago. and in
reply to how he will vote this fall,
Bishop Ireland said:
How do l intend to voter It cannot
at first sight but seem more or less i'm
pertinent for any citizen to tell the
public how he intends to vote. In
voting each citizen obeys the dictates
of his own sense of civic duty, he
should simply do this, and leave the
others to do likewise. However, since
a certain number of newspapers have
undertaken to say how [ intend to
vote. and in SO doing have misinter-
preted my intention and have not been
unwilling to make political capital out
of my supposed vote, 1 will give the
question I intend to vote
categorical and unmistakable reply.
l intend to vote for William Nc
K inley and Theodore Roosevelt. In
giving my vote for the candidates of
the Republican party, I am satisfied in
my own conscience that 1 serve the
best interests of the country at home
and abroad, that I contribute to the
maintenance of the country's material
prosperity and of peace and good will
between the several classes of it's popu-
lation that I aid the country in bring
ing about the safest and most honor
able solution of the complex problems
which confront it as the result of the
late war, and in retaining for itself
the exalted position which it holds at
present commercially and diplo-
matlcally before other nations of the
world. L trust no further doubts will
be expressed as to how I intend to
vote.
