Question. Roo.evert Dare Not An

awef.
Mr. Bryan's invariable rule is to answer
all questions propounded by people in his
audiences directly. frankly. and politely.
Theodore Roosevelt. on the other hand,
treats such Interruptions as affronts. de-
nounces and villifes their authors, or else
ignores them. 1t was at Rome. n. Y, on
Wednesday that he was asked by various
persons present at the meeting he was ad
dressing to answer the following ques-
tons:
81. Why did you net prosecute the canal
thieves you promised when you a can
ddate for Governor?
40. Why did You net commence action before
the claims barely
IS. Why don't you have summons issued
against the Ice Trust? The only way to
mence an action is by summons. None has
been cen 1 Whx ior. o -.,,ovs III. mayo, o New

IS. Yon have been only thirty-six hours at
the Capitol attending to business as Governor
since June ]. Do you think il honest TO take
full pay during that time?
&c. Don't You think candidate for Vice
President should find courteous language to ex-
press his thoughts and not call his qnestioners
any knowledge on the subject. accuse them of
working their mouths standing against the
fag.' and lacking Patriotism
-. Why not give out for publication Mayor
Van Wycks answer in which it is claimed MEN,
hers of your State administration and Senator
Plat are charged with being particeps criminis
in the Ice Trust scandal?'
Not one of these questions did Mr..
Roosevelt answer, and the reasonable
assumption is that he was afraid to
do so. They all relate to sore spots

The Rough Rider is in a bad box. His
verbal indecency on the platform, his utter
contempt for the conventions Of political
canvass. his insensate vanity and his fac
ulty Of making himself generally disagree
able to all who are thrown in personal con-
tact with him, all combine to make the |
trust Vice Presidential candidate the re-
verse Of popular among members Of his |
party. 1t is needless to add that nobody |
else pays the slightest attention to him.

Luxurious travelling on an Imperial
Train,

Train.
Foreigners travelling through Middle
and Western states are astonished at not
only the comfort, convenience and even
luxury of the homes of the American
people, but at the fine railroad equip
ment and the service they meet. Special
mention is made by them of the elegance
in furnishings and conveniences for every
possible need. A great many Of our visi-
tors from across the water do o realize
that the people in the interior of the
United States are educated and accus-
toned to the very best the land affords
and when travelling over the country on
an "imperlal' train like the North
Western Limited" their eyes open in
surprise at the superb equipages furn-
ished. Their surprise is not to be won
dered at after all inspection of the Lin.
tied running between the Twin Cities
and Chicago over the North Western
Line. No train on the globe, either here
or in foreign lands, is fitted with finer in
terror furnishings. Especially is this to
be noticed in the dining cars and COM
partment sleepers, which are beauties
unsurpassed by any trunk line in the
country. Nothing is too good for this

One of the Most Difficult of Lam
Eungcs to Learn.
1t is well known that the Chinese
language is n of the most difficult to
master, and for us to attempt this task
after we have finished our school years
is excessively trying and difficult. Ger
tainly the mistakes n hears of as be-
ing made by those who begin to talk
and, worse still, preach in a language
they fondly imagine they have mas
tered are ludicrous in the extreme.
I heard Of a clergyman who was
preaching to q Chinese congregation in
the %vernacular. "Come to God, oh, my
friends; come to God!!' he cried Tor
thought he did and was considerably
surprised to find some of the congrega-
ton with broad grins on their faces,
while others were frowning blackly.
Great was the good mans consterna-
ton when he found he had been say
ing, Call the pigs, oh, my friends; call
the pigs!" His mistake, I believe, was
due entirely to putting the accent on
the wrong syllable, which altered the
whole sense Of the words.
The Chinese seem to regard q for
eigner speaking Chinese like DR.. John
son regarded women preaching. "It is
like n dog standing on his hind legs"
said the learned doctor. "You are not
struck with admiration at how we'll he
does it, but you are surprised he can
do it at all."-Leslie's Weekly.
Over and Over.
Mr.. William Hawley Smith, in his
"Walks and Talks" tells of n remark
made by mn Irish friend which might
be applicable in many cases:
He used to be very fond Of hearing
the bishop preach and always went to
service when that dignitary held forth.
l met him on the street one Sunday
when I knew the bishop was preaching
and asked him why he wasn't in his
pew, to which he replied:
"Troth, I don't go to hear the bishop
ony more"
"Why, what's the matter" I said.
"You haven't gone back on a good
man. have your"
"No," he answered, "but it's the
truth I'm tellin you, when you've heard
the bishop a half dozen times all after
that is yariationsr"

Moving Pictures.

McKinleys newspapers have good
deal to say about the part that moving
pictures are to play in the campaign in
behalf of Mckinley. Among other things
they are to exhibit factories in operation
by way of illustrating Mckinley pros
pcrity.-The Public.
BY all means give us the moving pic
lures and let us have them ALL Give us
a moving picture of Teddy shooting
flying fugitive IN the back-a picture OF
American soldiers in the Philippines
crawling up to joyous wedding party,
killing the bride and groom and sending
the guests in horror-and tear-give us
some of those battles where 200 "bloody
rebels are killed with no loss on our
side-giyc us a moving picture OF Nc
Kinleys 400 saloons in Manila dealing
out daily death and damnation. Give us
picture of our army transports cross
ing the mighty ocean loaded with sturdy
young men, healthy and happy, and the
same ship coming back again loaded
with sick and insane soldiers, coming
home to die in sorrow and despair-give
us the picture of just one army canteen
preserved by Mckinley in defiance of an
act of congress, and give it to us in act
i've operation, scattering its blessed i'll
fluence on every hand. Give us Teddy S
warlike form ascending San Juan hill,
and also the negro regiment that won
that bloody battle for which Teddy has
been gloriied Give us the picture of 400
starving Porto Ricans that recently went
to the general, begging for
bread. Give us an accurate likeness OF
the horse doctor that the president clevat-
ed to the position of army surgeon-also
we would like picture of can of en-
balmcd becf-an army transport bought
at four times its value-the southern
swamps in which our soldiers were
uuartered-some of the armour plate
worth $500 that we are buying for $545
give us a moving picture of Genera
Eagan when he was SO severely punished
by being placcdin retirement on salary
of $1,000 year, and last but not least
give us life-likc portraits of Medley ant
Rathbone while they were actively serv
ing their country by keeping the Cuban
