Eryan-s Birthday.

NIT !. Mr. Rryan,s fortieth birthday.
No manzso syonng as he was in 1896 was as
ever nominated by a great parry . loh
president be fore. George 3. McSle1lan
VAS thirty-eight, not thirty-slx. in ls6 Oh.
Norman was ever nominated before on the
CARRYING power Of a single speech -SsSN no
man Of forty ever before faced the prac7.:
teal certainty of q renomina ton.
s=No Democratic candidate for Presidehlt,
elected or beaten, ever before Ieceiseu ~
smanv8yotes- was defeated by so large
Z 5nopular ma jority against him. No man
was ever before the apparent favorite OF
every Democrat, in regular relations Win
the party, who wants to elect him. and
of every one, in like relations WIN II,
who wants to beat him.
NO man ever nominated made SO many
speeches or one speech SO many times.
No man ever said more or did less-unless
saying is doing-as a basil of one can
didacy obtained and Of another In sight
No nominee ever before SO united on
himself all who are detached from logic
and <untaueht by events, or set against
him all who have, a stake of interest
reason and responsibility in affairs. No
man ever before uttered so many pre-
dictions which came to naught.8eNo man
ever before found a surety of renonina-
ton in the fact that all the disasters he
foresaw failed to materiallze and all the
: benefits he denied came to pass.
Results never before wrought havoc of
all statements of5any man. No man ever.
before increased his popularity by the.
unanimous refuta ton of all his ideas by:
facts. No candidate ever before put so
many able men out of line with his party
or SO many inefficient men into the high
places Of command.
No man ever before aroused more en-
thusiasm or more apprehension by VIC
lation of all the conditions of sane poll
tics The enthusiasm is no less, but the!
apprehension is: 8 n omination threa tened
his success Renomina ton is recognized
by those whom he scared or OVERRIDE be-.
fore to insure his .defeat-yet to be the
only way to cure. the craze for him.
And. we may say, toward no man do
opponents feel less animosity. His friends
regard him as an oracle. His opponents
consider him to be a comedian. He app
parently takes himself seriously and his
party lightly. His prominency is inn,
portant Its overthrow is a little price
to insure his primacy. He has convic-
tons, but his strongest one is his right
to be at the head. To him a, party is q
force made for his use and handling. A
nomination to him is a role. not trust
or responsibility. ls.3s
he mas had an extraordinary career.
Happily. for his country, 1t has involved.
no Identification with executive RESPONSE
bilities. The. rag-bag which is his mind
and the motley which is. his following
what a circus they would have made
with what they could never understand!
The Eagle wishes for Mr.. Bryan many
years of health and happiness and for
the Democratic party a happy deliverance
out of Its aff1ictions.-AIonday's Brooklyn

What that future will be cannot be
wholly predicted, but there are certain
general principles which we may regard
as sure to be established. One is the
equality of races. There will be no more;
ostracism of Engishmen and Americans
by the Dutch. and there will be no os.ra-.
cism Of the Dutch by the: British. The
Beers will net he transformed into Out
landers. The example has already been.
set in Cape Colony. which to-day, has a
Dutch Ministry. and in Canada, which
has. a. French Prime N MISTER. It IS to
be supposed that in the Transvaa1, fwhsre
there issa legitimate majority OF En-
disappearing people. there Will be an
lEnglish-spea king Ministry in the place Ct
Mr.. Kruger's oligarchy. I'm the Orange
Free State, on the contrary, there IS u
Dutch majority, and a continuance OF.
Dutch government is to- be expected. But
in each case the minority will have due.
representation, and the language OF the
minority will have legal recognition in
the Legislature. So much We may as
sumo as certain, because these Were;
among the principles which the British
governme emit urged upon the TEansvaaI
for its adoption before the war---New
Y ork Tribune.

shops OF the capital were selling with
much success 'Ragueneau patttes,
variation of a popular savory, composed.
of a mysterious combination OF behring's
and piecrust. The aggrieved poet broras hit
an action against his imitators, his cons
tention being that he had the exclusive
right to- use the name of Ragueneau Tor
alterations the court has decided in his
favor. The Ragueneau patties will have Z
to find another name, and henceforth
the only genuine Rasueneau da,nties wilt
be those of the shop in the Rue Saint

NEW YORK, March :. 21!-COTTON-z
Bear speculation governed S the cotton
prices eased off to about the low. point
reached on Monday. The opening was
steady, with prices unchanged to 5 points
glower.zA rapid decline followed On late
cables telling Of steady losses in the
Liverpool market under liquidat ton, and
southern crop accounts doomed up bear
1shly. The opening figures proved to be
the top of the day, as, while there We're
tinued bearish and selling orders exceed
ed demand Receipts were considerably
Z in excess of early estimates. Southern
markets showed no further gains of i'm
portance, and the vestment public man
lIested no further desire to re-enter the
market at the present standard of
values. Afternoon fluctuations were of a
seesaW nature. though averaging against

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

There is only one grade Of hon
esty.
What does the work Of man is .
man.
Chance never helps the men who de-
not work.
No palm of victory without the dust
of conflict.
A heart full of love means q mouth.
full of blessings.
Love OF virtue is as native to man
IS love of knowledge.
A life of pleasure makes even the
strongest mind frivolous at last.
The happiness of your life depends
upon the character of your thoughts.
Money cannot always command hap
piness, but happiness can command
money.
AS there is no royal road to knowl-
edge, there is no easy way to work out
a worthy reform.
A German proverb says, honor the
old, instruct the young, consult the
wise and bear with the foolish.
Generosity, to deserve the name,
comprises the desire and the effort to
benefit others, without reference to
self.
Could you see every mans career in
lie you would find o woman clogging
bim-or cheering him and goading
him.
To the young man who would rise
in the world there is but one word of
caution-be thorough, if you do not
want to be numbered among the
worlds failures.
Each individual experiences in life
that which will sooner or later uplift,
no matter how direful and seemingly
unholy the process through which he
must pass may be. The need
and circumstance of the individual
have developed the existing condition,
and through it, from stage to stage,
that soul will climb.

SERVED TIME FOR HIS FRIEND,

Why Sullivan and Reilly Changed
Names on the Way to Prison.
A simple escape from prison is
nothing remarkable, but there are very
few men shrewd enough to get out
from behind prison bars and be free
for months without letting the authori-
ties know anything about it.
That is what James Reilly did. He
was sentenced to an Imprisonment of
two years in the Eastern penitentiary,
and served only 10 months. Probably
his escape would not have been dis
covered for many months if he had
not been arrested in Pittsburg several
days ago for robbing a jewelry store.
Two men, who were with him escaped.
Captain of Detectives Miller thinks
they are the same men who were with
him when he was arrested here, and
who served out the Is months SEN
tence with him. When he heard that
Reilly had been arrested in Pittsburg
he refused to believe it until he found,
upon investigation, that the man at
the penitentiary as Reilly was not
Reilly, but James Sullivan.
There has been many tales OF affec-
ton and loyalty among crooks, but
none of them exceeds the story of
James Sullivan's sacrifice for his
friend. He was with Reilly and two
other crooks known as Deylin and
Hoyt when they were arrested here in
July of 1899.
Sullivan, Hoyt and Devlin were
sentenced to Is months each in the
Eastern penitentiary. Reilly, who was
an old offender, got sentence OF two
years.
Sullivan knew that there were de-
tanners against his friend, charging
him with serious crimes in other
cities, so on the way to prison he sug-
gested that they take each others
name, thus giving Reilly an oppor-
tunity to elude the authorities when
his (Sullivan's) term expired.
The plan was adopted and, owing
to the remarkable similarity of the
two prisoners, was carried out sue
cessfully. Sullivan knew the risks he
ran, but when he was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Ladner recently with
conspiracy to aid prisoner in escap-
ing, he never murmured. His counsel
waved a hearing and was held in
$4,000 bail for trial. philadelphia

several of BENJAMIN Franklin's set

which were set every mile on every
principal road to tell the distances
from town to town. BENJAMIN
Franklin set milestones the entire
way on the post road from Boston t.
Philadelphia, He rode in a chaise
over the route, and a machine which
he had invented was attached to the
chaise. This was certainly the first
cyclometer that went on that route
over which SO many cyclometers have
passed during the past Ave years.
When he had ridden mile, he
stopped; from a heavy cart loaded
with milestones, which kept along
side the chaise, stone was dropped
which was afterwards set by gang
of men.
