Where Bryan i. strong.

Bryan shows his greatest personal
strength in the fact that he Is to-
day, as he has ever been, utterly with
out a political machine. Other men
In American politics stand or fall for
reasons outside of their personality.
David Hill, for instance, is geo.
graphical location. Mr.. Mckinley is
kind of syndicate. Roosevelt stands
for IN ideal Of civic righteousness.
Mr.. Croker is an impudent appetite.
Quay is n system Of wireless teleg-
raphy. But Bryan is Bryan, and Bry-
ON is his prophet. More power for
good or evil rests under Bryan's black
SLOUGH hat than under any other sin
gle headpiece In America. Bryan is
machineless, not because he abhors
the machine, but because he ignores
it. He would not know what to do
| with captains and lieutenants. If his
party should begin TO turn from him,
Bryan could not call: ''What, no,
warder, let the portcullis fall" in a
score of states and check the STAN
pede. If oratory would not stop the
panic, the multitude would have to
leave him as 1t came to him. After
which he would go on lecturing until
that gave ont, and running for the
senate till that gave out, and for con-
gress till that gave out, when he
would return to his law office and
continue as he was in the beginning,
an honest, hard working, ordinary
country lawyer, with an extraor-

SMALL POx PREVENTATIVE?

A commercial traveller, whose wife
is one of those women who borrow
trouble indiscriminately, had occa-
sion to make trip east recently, re-
lates the Memphis Scimitar.
His wife was very anxious about
him, and felt certain that he would
fall victim to smallpox, which was
reported to be prevalent in the city to
which he was going. She begged him
to carry little lump of asafetida in
his pocket to ward off contagion.
Naturally he objected, and positive
ly refused to be made the permanent
abode of such persistent odor.
When he came home from his trip.
he said to his wife:
1t is wonderful, the power of the
imagination. Why, don't you know,
imagined that l smelled asafetida
the whole time | was gone.
ut wasn't imagination at all !"
quietly replied the willy little
woman. II sewed bit of asafetida
in the corner of your coat before you
went away. ~

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE NEGRO.

To the discussion of that which
some are pleased to call the American
trace problem, . we'll known negro
citizen of Columbus, o., makes an
interesting contribution. He directs
attention to the fact that though only
about thirty-five years have elapsed
since the slaves were freed, the
American negro has accomplished
much, which the Columbus man sums
mp as follows
He has reduced his illiteracy 40 per
cent.
He mas written 800 books.
He has 400 newspapers issued regu-
larly each week.
He has accumulated school property
to the value Of $12, 900. 600.
He owns church property worth
$87, 900, 900.
He owns 1877, 600 farms and homes,
worth $725, 900, ooO
He has personal property to the
value of $l65, 900, 000 and has raised
$40, 900, 600 for his own education.
His per capita possessions amount
to $72 80.
All these things he has done despite
the difficulties that were placed in his
way in the former slave States, despite
the prejudice against his race, which
will not be quite eradicated in the
time of many future generations,
Would white race, placed in con-
ditions similar to those in which the
negroes found themselves at the close
of the Civil War, and confronted by
the same difficulties have accomplished
more in the same time?
In view of the record which the
black man has made for himself with
in the comparatively short time dur
ing which he has been free to make a
record, there seems to be no need of
worrying about the race problem.
Give the negro fair chance through
out the country and the problem will
disappear with in the next fifty years.

THE HORRORS OF THE INDIA
FAMINE.

Some missionaries in India have
done great philanthropic service by
taking photographs which graphically
disclose the horrors of the awful
famine affecting over thirty million
souls in India, and sending them to
Leslie's Weekly. In the current issue
of the Weekly, double page
them is printed, and they are of such
q startling nature that they will oc-
casion a sensation. One shows starv-
ing man lying dead in front of relief
hospital, his death occurring five
minutes after the picture was taken.
Others show the bodies of unfortunate
men and women who have starved to
death lying on the streets and under
the trees on the highways. The let
tiers by Rev. DR.. Abbot and others.
descriptive of the awful sufferings Of
little children and poor women and
men, lend intense interest to the
photographs.

Bushels.

-
1898, 1921, 045, 900
1899, 2, 725, 407, 900
In spite of fluctuations the upward
tendency of production is plain. The
crop of 1898 was much the largest in
the series, but the crop of 1899 was
larger than any of the three crops be-
fore 1898. The average Of the first
two crops is 2, SIT, 421, 500, and of the
last two crops 1888, 226, 600 bushels.
This is an increase of 305, S04, 800
bushels in an average period of three
years. Some of the European authori-
ties have been in the habit of estimat-
ing the normal increase in the demand
for wheat at 1900, 900 quarters
(16, 600, 600 bushels) per annum. This
would make the increased demand in
three years 48, 600, 600 bushels, against
an increased production of more than
six times that. But the demand for
wheat is elastic and it increases not
only with the increase of population,
but with the increased ability of the
population to supply itself with
abundant food, in the first place, and
with the more palatable or nutritious
kinds of food in the second place.
The estimate that the demand grows
16, 900, 900 bushels year is based upon
the increase of population in the
wheat eating countries. But this
leaves out of view two other factors !:
one is the increase and the other the
improvement of the dietary of the
masses of the population in the civil
liked world. Whether the farm and
industrial population of the United
States has much changed it's eating
habits in the last few years may be
open to doubt, but it has changed
since the early part of the century is
certain. We have statistics from
England, France, Germany and Bel
gium, showing substantial increase
in the amount of food consumed and
in the quality Of it, increased quanti-
ties of meat, milk, butter and wheat,
and decreases relative or absolute, of
rye and potatoes. The population of
the civilized world is increasing it's
consumption of wheat not only in
proportion to it's increase in numbers,
but also in proportion to it's increase
in buying ability. The estimates of
the annual increment in the demand
for wheat will have to be revised up
wards.
