statement made by Mr.. Bryan in 1886:
''If Mr.. Mckinley and the Republican
party are successful and put in power
for the next four years, wages will be

and over the land the prices of wheat
will go down and the price of gold will

Mr.. Bryan said nothing very notable in
his speech to the labor organizations
at Chicago yesterday. OF course he
could not forbear from giving his re-
marks political twist, though 1t was
entirely unnecessary as Gov. Roosevelt
showed by making a speech thoroughly
free from partisanship. Bryan touched
on the trusts, on milltarism, imperial
ism, government by injunction and the
referendum. There Is no aIlusion to the
money question In his speech, perhaps
because he was afraid that some of his
hearers might remember his doleful
predictions at that time, and ask him
why they were not verified.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1900.

AMONG the applicants for recognition in
the organization of the next Senate is
George A. Frey, of Camden, who desires
to be returned to the position of Secretary,
from which he was ousted two sessions
ago Mr. Frey had served but one year.
and under all rules and presidents was en-
titled to two more terms, but there were
some of the Senators who wished to shake
the plum tree and combinations were
formed whereby all precedents were swept
out of existence and a new rule obtained.
Up to the present time Mr.. Frey has had
but two opponents named-John s. Glib
son, of Essex, and Walter E. Edge, of At
lantic. Essex has the Office of Supervisor
of Bills in the Senate and is not likely to
land another of the biggest plums, and
Edge has had good share of the gifts OF
the Senate, having been Journal Clerk
three years. The return of Mr.. Frey to
the place unjustly taken from him should
be a unanimous act on the part of Sena
tors and without objection on the part Of
any wouldbe candidates.

whatever. That is the principle Of the
indestructibllity of matter. At n din
ner of scientists held in Washington
Mt which the predictions of Sir Will
lam Crookes and Mr.. Atkinson formed
the leading topic of discussion. this
principle was advanced ns the chief
argument against their conclusions.
The scientists were confident In the
belief that the potash taken In n thou.
sand forms from the earth would In
some form return to the earth. and
that in some way the conversion Of
potash from varied sources into shupe
by which IL could feed the soil. would
come about when necessity demanded
1t.
There is no doubt, however, that the
discovery OF an addition to the worlds
supply of potash is matter of real
Importance, and II Is likely that the
sensation caused by the statements of
Mr.. Atkinson will. lead to vigorous
search for deposits in this country.
If such deposits of any considerable
extent are In existence in any part OF
the country they undoubtedly will be
uncovered before the German field is
worked out.

Before this point was reached, how
ever, the rise in the value of the min
eral would cause 1T to be sought after
eagerly in every part of the world,
would lead to the conserving of the
present sources of supply and to an
attempt TO find new ones. Men would
prospect for potash with greater zeal
than they now put into the search al.
ter gold. The terrors of the alkali
deserts would be braved and men
would bore for the precious deposits
all over the burning plains of the
Southwest.
At the same time, efforts would be
made to gather the product from the
scattered sources of supply now in ex.
istence In some financially profitable
manner. According to Professor Dit.
mar, the very greatest of all these
sources is the ocean, and no doubt the
brains of inventors and scientists
would be racked to devise a means
of separating this potash from the
waves. In all primitive countries
where the supply of wood is large pot,

wood ashes.
This source also would be brought
into use, and gradually the forest trees
and such plants as nettles, wormwood
TOBACCO and kelp, all of which are
capable of supplying potash in consid
cradle quantities, would be burned tC
rejuyenate the impoverished soil. Men
would live more and more largely upon
the food plants, requiring only small
amount of potash for their growth, and

in every part Of the earth's crust, at
least in every part presenting an ara
BILE surface. Soluble potassium salts
are found In quantities in all fertile
soils. These salts are sucked up by
the roots of plants and trees, which
eagerly seek them out as necessities
of life. 1t is a significant fact that
even where soda predominates in the
soil the plants take up the potash
salts in preference.
After taking part In tie processes of
nutrition and being transformed into
organic salts the potash salts may re-
sumo their original form through COM
bustion. There is a loss In quantity,
however, and In the case OF plants
which are used for food or in the vari-
Gus human arts there is, of course, n
nearly complete loss. The cause for
concern in regard to the question of
the worlds future food supply lies
in the fact that potash Is not renewed
in the manner of some other elements
of vegetable life. 1t Is mineral de-
post arising through the natural de-
composition of certain rocks. On titled

the flag is large and the line long
enough) and push blight of the line
between the turn and the flag as shown
in Fig. /.
In this condition the flag is said to
be "made up" and is ready for laying
away, or for bending on to the hal
yards. If laid away when thus made
plain sight, so that it need not be un-
rolled to be identified, and when 1t Is
unfurled 1t will be as if newly ironed.
When made up it can be carried about
without trailing in the dirt, and will re-
main in a compact bundle so long as
no strain is brought upon the bending
line. This being bent to the lower part
of the halyards, however, a sharp pull
on the latter will slip the blight and
"break the flag"
If the flag is large one, turn
around its middle Is not enough to keep
1t in compact bundle, so it should then
be secured by tying around II near
each end a piece of cotton string. In
this case the bending line is first laid
along the side of the bundle in three
blghts, so that the upper string passes
through all three, and the lower one
through the first two, as shown in
Fig. 2. a sharp pull on the lower
part Of the halyards will break the
strings and unfurl the flag as before.
1t is not customary to hoist the flag
all the way to the masthead made up,
but only high enough to get it clear
of dirty ground, or of distractions
such as rigging, trees, or the caves of
houses; then 1t is broken" and hoisted

suggestion. which is uique at least, is
that the world famine is likely to come
in the form of potash famine
through the using up of the potash in
the soil, and the consequent failure
of the land to produce food crops.
1t is safe TO say that most persons
never have taken potash into consid-
Grafton as one of the food essentials
of the planet. 1t is n fact. however,
that it possesses real Importance in

would seem probable that such large
deposits would be of frequent occur

out, exactly the reverse is the case.
In discussing the matter before the
Association for the Advancement &C
Science he called attention to the fact
that the worlds entire supply is at
present being drawn from the mines
of Strassfurt. Germany, and that,
while other fields equally great may

Practically every bit of the potash

bringing 1t across the Atlantic. The
real danger, as Mr.. Atkinson sees it,
is in the exhaustion of the source of

It is practically certain to do in ever
increasing ratio.
Not even Mr.. Atkinson contends that

the potash supply is imminent, but the
possibilities of such n famine are in.

come about gradually, of course, the
dwindling of the supply being accom-.

The first result, therefore, would be
