Every day it becomes more and more
evident that Mr.. Bryan has grown
with the last four years.
The Pittsburg Post declares that
he has not lost his hold upon the
people. In the four years since the
struggle of 1896 he has traversed the
country from end to end, addressing
thousands upon thousands of listeners
of every shade of political belief and
the result is an overwhelming conf
dence in his downright and upright
sincerity of purpose. And his many
frank utterances as appearing in print
have only tended to strengthen that
confidence. Honesty and sincerity,
then, are generally recognized as max
ing up large part of Mr.. Bryan's
character.
Bryan is the great American of
to-day.

The other day an officer of the Royal
Engineers in South Africa had just
received a parcel of comforts" from
home. He met a friend, and they be-
gan to compare notes concerning the
packages that they had received from
home. ut is good of them to give us
these things" said the man, rubbing
his unshaven face meditatively, but
l say, old chap, why do they send us
such a rummy lot of little handker-
chiefs? They're like the things women
use and they're embroidered with
beads, so that one can't use them COM
fortably without scratching the nlhse."
This remarkable state of affairs ap-
pealed to the sympathies of the other
man of fire, who asked to see ITEM.
They were shown to him, and he, be-
ing a youth of superior intelligence,
discovered that they were q set of
square covers, embroidered with blue
and red beads, that the dear ladies
had made for them to cover their tum-
blers of milk or their glasses of medi-
cine with. Being of rather mysterious
pattern. the gallant officer had only
thought of them as ornamental hand
kerchiefs, and, although grateful, he
was not particularly comforted by the
gift.-London Letter.

1t has remained for Senator Hanna
to suggest an issue which touches the
stomach. This issue is the full dinner
pail. and it is characteristic of the
gross and sordid policy of the party
in its dealings with the workingman.
The American workingman has surely
the right to expect more than a bare
living. The privilege of toiling week
in and week out for the bare necessi-
ties of life is not a very entlcing pros
pect, and yet the Republican party has
seen fit to elevate this privilege into
campaign issue.-Peoria Herald

What History Shows.

According to an organ of imperial
ism Mr.. Mckinley is too easy going
and too amiable a man to undertake
to overthrow the republican institu-
tons of this country. Experience has
shown that the change from democ-
racy to Imperialism is often a gradue.
and slow process. Napoleon would
never have made himself First Consul
and finally Emperor of France had not
conditions been ready for him. Rome
still preserved the empty forms of re-
publican government when the EN-
peror consulted the Senate about a
no more important matter than a new
source for turbot. At the rate at
which imperialism is progressing in
this country Congress will hardly be
consulted even on such a matter as
that.

Horse Hotels in New York CITY.

Scattered in various parts of New
York City there are stables that might
be called horse hotels, in which tran
sients are taken, as well as regular
boarders; of boarding stables there
are many, and there are some stables
in which stalls are rented.
A truckman who rented a stall in
stable would feed and care for his
horse himself. simply hiring quarters
for the animal. Much oftener horses
are boarded. A truckman having, say,
ten horses or more, would most likely
keep stable of his own, as would
any business concern running an
equal number of horses. An owner
keeping less than ten would be likely
to board them.

Olney's Reasons For Supporting Bryan.
IN my judgment nothing is now so
important as that the American people
should take this, their first opportuni-
ty to emphatically protest against that
excrescence upon original republican
ism, which may be called Mckinley
ism.
If the American people now solemn
~ record themselves as approving the
Mckinley Administration and all it's
works
1t will mean that the American peo-
pie sanction a syndicated Presidency
"a President got for the Republican
party by the money of a combination
of capitalists intent upon securing ma
ticular interests.
1t will mean that the American peo-
pie approve the tactless and brutal pol
icy pursued since the Philippine acqui-
sition was made, whereby what was
pressed upon the country as a treaty
of peace was in fact but the signal
for another more costly, bloody and
prolonged war.
1t will mean that the American peo-
pie either do not see, or seeing, ap-
prove the great and growing, if not al
ready overwhelming. influence of
money in our politics. Our Govern
ment was not conceived or framed
as a money making machine, even for
the profit of all the governed-much
less for the profit of particular classes
or portions of the governed.
Should McKinleyism again prevail
for example, it will not be because
it is not cordially distrusted by the
great body of American electors. 1t
will be because of the influence of the
purse and Of the Solicitors application
of an enormous campaign fund-be-
cause of an Investment scare" which,
in some measure genuine. will be in
much larger measure artfully worked
up for election ends.
In the defeat of the Republican party
in the coming election lies the only
hope of the reversal of those policies
and the beginning of a return to more
wholesome policies.-Selections from
Richard Olney's letter.

WELLINGTON AND OUR NAPOLEON,
The Maryland Republican Senator Gives
His Support to Bryan.

The imperial observer will say that
one of the chief events of the Presi-
Dental campaign thus far was the
mass meeting at Cumberland, Md, at
watch Mr.. Bryan received pledge of
support from George S. wellington,
lifelong Republican and now Sena-
tor from Maryland.
1t must have stirred the ten thou
sand at the mass meeting to their
very American marrow when Senator
Wellington said:
81 cannot see my way clear to inveigh
against Imperialism, again the uncon-
stitutionality of the Porto Rican Tar
if bill, the unrighteousness of attempt
ing to enslave the inhabitants of the
Philippine Islands and the dishonor
of breaking our pledge to Cuba, and
then, because of the mandate of a
sinister influence which dominates the
President, forswear my convictions,
set at naught my declarations, and do
as did Senator Hoar and others-ap-
peal to the past and the future.
''The past is dead. | cannot change
it. No appeal will reach its deaf ear.
The future is not in my keeping, and
it is not in my power to fashion it."
Behind this moral hero comes the
usual and expected cry of "Traitor!'
But that is not argument. The cha
grined Republican press has no an
swer to the fearless Marylander ex-
except this:
He hates Mckinley. This is Wei
lington's revenge"
Senator Wellington answers:
Mckinley deceived me. He got my
vote for the Paris treaty on false
pledge. He is weak and yacillating.
He is not fit to be President
Fair-minded men must justify re-
sentiment that is caused by deceit. We'll
lington's resentment is greater than
personal aversion. He believes that
McKinley's dupliCity has wronged the
people of his State and jeoparded free
dom in this Republic
Mr.. Bryan's eloquence on this occa-
sion was at its highest when, speaking
of Senator Wellington, he said:
'What is his inspiration? Does he
come to US for money? No man would
come to the Democratic party for
money. Does he come for honor? His
own party has satisfied his ambition
for honor. What brings him to the
Democratic party at this time? What
makes him act with those who sup
port the Democratic ticket?
Senator Wellington believes that an
Administration that asks for an army
four times as large as the army when
it went into power tends towards i'm
perialism. Let any of you deny it.
Why, it was the boast of Republicans
in years past that we did not need a
large standing army in this country
If you can in one administration null
tiply your standing army by four and
make it 100000 instead of $4,000 will
it not be easier for the next Admins
tration to multiply it by four and make
it 100000 instead of 100,000?-New

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
Burning of the skin in experiments
with X-rays has been found by
Messrs. Bardier and Salvador to be
due not to the rays themselves but
to a high tension induction formed
near the Crookes tube.
According to n report of a United
States Consul the Germans have per-
fected a process for the seasoning of
lumber by electricity. which has
proved commercially successful.
The Report of the Philadelphia
Commercial Museum concerning ST.
IBERIA says that on an average mill
ion squirrel skins are taken every
year. Probably as many more hare
skins are brought to the local mar
kets; they are of little value, and are
mostly consumed in Siberia. But the
fur of the Siberian squirrel, pale gray
in color, is in much demand in other
countries and supplies a great part
of the squirrel fur used in lining
cloaks.
Now that notifications of the mer-
cerizing process for cotton goods are
being devised by ingenious people, it
has occurred to an Engllshman to
impart to the cloth thus treated the
feeling of genuine silk. He passes
the goods through a solution contain
ing acetic or tartaric acid, or treats
them with acetate of lime, soap and
acetic acid. If the material is to
be dyed, the soap bath of the new
process may be combined with the
dye bath.
English papers describe new sys-
tenn of gaslighting which promises
much. The burner has a tip made
of platinum pierced with number
of very small holes, through which
the compressed gas mixture is forced.
The particles of gas are forced into
such close proximity in passing
through the platinum tip that the mix
ture is lighted automatically, without
the use of a match-on a principle
well understood. 1t is said that the
light is the equal of any light now
in use and the claim is the usual one,
that it is cheaper.
Even window washing is now sub
ject of scientific study. For five years
a German chemist has been investi-
eating the action of pure water and
he has prepared tables showing exact
ly how much of the glass is dissolved
by each reagent. From these and
other results Mr.. W. L. Scoville con-
cludes that windows should be cleaned
with weak ammonia water and pol
ished with dilute hydrochloric acid
and friction. The ammonia, though
sufficiently solvent to suspend some
of the silica and streak the glass, has
less effect than soda or potash, and
the acid neutraliZes the ammonia and
the alkali in the glass, forming some
soluble chlorides that aid in the pol
ishing. The final operation is drying
and polishing with a clean cloth. To
avoid damage to paint and varnlshs
not more than half an ounce of con-
centrated ammonia water should be
used in a paleful of water and the
usual two or three ounces Of strong
acid to the pailful should be lessened
if the window frames are of metal

a long edict of Prince Tuan. dated June 20.
and addressed to the Chinese ambassadors,
which the Express declares is identical
with the message from Emperor Kwang
Hsu, mentioned by the Shanghai corre-
Chinese edict published in Washington
The Express considers that the edict proves
that Prince Tuan's party is making an at
tempt TO disguise the fact that the worst
that could be anticipated has happened.
The edict contains the following para
graphs:
"The anger of our people knew no
bounds.
"They could not be restrained. The task
of guarding the legations, which before
was difficult, was made impossible
Elsewhere. referring to the desire to pro-
tect the legations, still unharmed. it says:
1T is impossible for us to continue this
protection; let ii be represented TO the
powers that we must be held blameless, for
the anger of our people grows with the
rising of each sun that sees more and yet
more foreigners and soldiers come to over
run and lay waste our country and slay

The engagement lasted six hours,
and was fought with great deter
