NQther planS.N

Mr.. William j. Bryan, whose name Is
again appearing in the public prints
with its whilom frequency. takes the
pains to announce that he would not
accept election to the United States
senate from Nebraska, as has been sug-
gested would likely occur in certain
contingencies. Mr.. Bryan closes his
statement with the significant words:
II have other plans" Bless your soul.
doesn't everybody know 1t. But that is
hardly fair expression. He shcrlh
have said II have other designs. I" or, II
have the same old designation the
presidency.
The time las come when there Is
scarcely any concealment OF Mr.. Bry-
ans plans. when we take into consider
alton his utterances In the North Amer
lean Review, and his later statement to
the New York Journal. In his commu-
nIcation to the Journal he asserts with
a confidence born of two decisive de-
feats. that "the Democratic party still
lives and the fight goes on" Indeed It
does. and the longer 1t continues on Mr..
Bryan's lines the less there will be left
Of the Democratic party. One more
such fight as 1t made this year, and we
shall be unable to find the fragments
with microscope.
He still clings to the 1G to fallacy as
n child does to its first doll. but says he
will wait until the intervening four
years have passed away before formu-
lating his paramount issue for 1904. 1t
is on the question OF the proposed reor-
ganizatlon OF the party that he ex-
presses himself quite clearly. He says:
There is some talk OF reorganizing the
party, but this docs not. as rule, come
from those who supported the ticket.
The threat OF reorganization will not
amount to much as long rs 1t Is confined
to the men who show their love OF Dem
ocracy by voting the Republican ticket.

and then urges HIS opposition to silver

Old lime Enterprise.

The scheme OF adding to the building
acreage OF Wheeling recited In yester-
days Intelllgencer, in removing the
crown OF Wheeling hill and filling. up
the creek bed, while not new Is worthy
Of revival at this time, when the board
Of trade is supposed to be thirsty for
propositions that will in any way bene-
fit the city. Years ago Wheeling might
have been spreading city il 1t had not
been for the shortsightedness and ultra
conservatism OF the dominant spirits
of the early days OF its history. In
1852 j. W. Gill and George Hartman
were the boomers Of the town, and in
that year or shortly afterwards, realiz-
ing that the eastern hill was q fortress
against the proper expansion of the
town, offered to remove the crown, fill
up the bed OF the creek, and the. only
compensation they asked was the coal
and stone in the hill and the reservation
Of certain number Of lots on the new
made territory. Unhapplly for Wheel
ing there were dog-in-the-chambar peo-
pie then as there are now, as the au-
thorities refused to entertain the propo-
sition, OF these energetic and progress
sive citizens. The scheme was ably
advocated at that time by James E.
Wharton, proprietor Of the Wheeling
Times.
Those were brave days for Wheeling.
for in Mr.. Gill and Mr.. Hardman It pos
sessed men who had faith in the old
town, and who spent their money in
improving It. The old Atheneum, de-
stroyed by fire after the close OF the
civil war. built by Mr.. Gill. was 4 ,hes-
tire whose appointments and seating
capacity clearly outclassed any OF our
modern bandboxes. Other works lnsti-
tuted by these gentlemen have faded
away, only one Of which, we believe, is
: now left standing the Crescent mill.
What Is wanted these days is some OF
the stir and public spirit Of Gill and
Hardman.

Growth of Manufacturing Interests.
Y The rapid growth OF the manufactu r-
Ing interests of the country is illus
trated by5a compilation OF the treasury
bureau OF statistics which shows that
the expectation OF manufactures OF
metals during the year about to close
VIII reach the sum Of s2OO,0oOOOO. Dur
Ing the ten months ending November /,
more than $500, 100000 worth of Iron and
steel and more than $4,000, 900 worth of
copper had been exported, and these
figures. coupled with those relating to
the less important manufacturing met.
ais and the articles manufactured from
metals, but not included under these
general terms, will bring the total for
the year UP to fully s2oOOOO,OOO. In
steel rails the exports Of the year will
aggregate 100000, or an average Of q
million dollars per month, while 1t was
not until 1897 that the figures for any
entire year reached as much as $1,000
900. 4
In the fiscal year 1890 the total value
of steel rails exported was $4,000; In
1896 1t was only $4,000: in 1897, s250o.-
900; in 1898, s4.5OO, 900; in the fiscal year
1899, $5.25O.OOo, and In the calendar year,
1900 will be fully $4,000, 900. Nearly 81
100000 worth Of these exports of steel
rails in 1900 go to Europe; another mil.
lion dollars worth to Mexico; nearly
100000 to South America; 100000 to
British. North America, and 100000
worth to Asia and Oceanica-
| American locomotives also SO along
with the American steel rails. and the
total for the year seems likely TO reach
about $4,000, 900 In value. The American
rails and locomotives are In turn ac-
companlcd BY American cars, Of which
the expectation for steam railways will
amount to S3.OOO,0O0 during the year.
and for other railways more than mil
lion dollars. Add TO this proper share
of the S6,O0O,OOO worth Of electrical ma
chlnery and 100000 worth OF tele-
graph. telephone and other electrical
| Instruments and scientific apparatus
exported. and 1t will be seen that for
the construction and operation Of rail-
ways outside of the United States the
manufacturers Of this country will sup
ply during the year about to end fully
S25,OCO,OO0 worth Of material.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A college education to the average
girl is Just about as useful Us wart.
The only sure way to keep woman
interested in you is never to leave her
in a good humor.
A woman will forget her own name
before she forgets n single word OF
what her husband said when he pro-
posed to her.
The only two times you can catch a
woman when she feels perfectly help
less is when she Is up a tree or in a bath
tub.
The only secret a woman never tells
Is that the man that everybody thinks
she refused to marry didn't even pro-
pose to her.-New York Press.

WAR LESSONS NOT LEARNED.
Mistakes of Famous Generals of No
benefit to British Leaders.

New York World.
When Sherman with AZ GOO men assailed
Ficksburgs much smaller garrison he
was beaten back with loss of 1000 men,
When Burnside hurled his overwhelm-
ing forces against Lees works at Fred
ericksburg his columns were shattered
and broken to bits. When Lee sent Pick
EFT to his famous charge at Gettysburg
his defeat was quick and terribly calami-
tous. When Grant made a like mistake
at Cold Harbor similar result followed
These lessons of war have remained
unlearned by those who should most at
tentively have studied them. Methuen at
Modder river and Butler at Spion Kop
reported the old blunders, with the old
destructive results
Modern war has demonstrated nothing
so conclusively as the fact that front
attack upon strongly defended positions
is hopeless and useless and almost In
sane squandering of life to no purpose
whatever The arts of defense have so
far outstripped the arts of assault in their
development that assault has come to be
an ineXcusable blunder.
The Beers have understood this truth
The British have failed to recognize it,
The Beers, aided by nature, made i'm
pregnable fortresses of the positions they
have chosen as the campaign ground in
this war The British have beaten their
brains out in desperate assaults upon
these positions
The teaching of experience is that the
only way to drive an enemy out of a
strongly defended position is to cut off
every avenue of food and ammunition
supply and to keep it cut off Failing
that, his capacity of resistance, however
small his force, is practically illimitable,
and assault upon his works means only
fruitless slaughter. And every improve
ment made in arms, ammunition and
other war appliances tends only to en-
phasize this lesson, which British gen
erals seem so incapable of learning.
