A DIVING BELL CRUSHED.
The Tremendous Pressure of Water A
 Great Depth.


 a Great Depth.
 A crushed mass of iron in a Pitts burg scrap yard demonstrates the tre- mendcus pressure of water at a great depth, says the Pittsburg Chronicle. It was constructed for diving bell for use in Lake Michigan, AS originally constructed it was about six feet square, and tapered slightly at both ends. The material was phosphor bronze. more than half an inch thick. Each plate was cast with a fange and they were bolted together. the bolts being placed as closely as was consist ent with strength. The side plates were further strengthened by iron ribs an inch thick and two inches wide. In fact, the entire structure was strong ly braeed The windows to be used as outlooks by the divers were three inches square, fortified with iron bars and set with glass plates an inch thick. The weight of the bell was 23,000 pounds. When completed it was sent to Milwaukee and towed out into tie lake about twelve miles. where there was over 200 feet of water. and was sent down for a test. The manu- faeturer was so confident of the strength of the bell that he wanted to go down in it. He is glad now that he didn't When the be.i reached the depth of about 100 feet strong timbers attached to it came to the surface in ! splintered condition. Suspecting ar accident, the bell was hauled up and found to be crushed into a shapeless mass. The inch-thick plate-slass bulls-eyes were shattered. The pres sure that crushed this seemingly in- vulnerable structure amounted to a to. tal of 1,72a,54S pounds. or 1882 tons.

BRYAN WILL ONLY WRITE FOR
PAY HEREAFTER.

Lincoln, Nebraska, November
2l.-William Jennings Bryan says
that he has ceased giving inter.
views to newspapers promiscu-
ously or individually. He is now
writing for pay. This policy, he
says, he adopted at the close of
the campaign and he intends to
continue IL till some matter of
great and immediate portent to
the nation or to the policy of its
present managers renders his
opinion necessary or advisable.
When seen Sunday Mr.. Bryan
was jolly and talkative till APP
preached on some question Of
public interest, when he became
immediately silent.
"It is like the case of any news
paper editor" said Mr.. Bryan.
''He writes what he thinks, but he
will not write it without money
] am not writing for the money,
but will not write without it. Ii
! were to discuss subjects of inn
portance / should wish to do so
only after consideration and stu
dy and | should wish to prapare a
careful statement at my leisure.
II l should be willing to give in
terviews on all these questions
the newspapers would keep me
busy practically all the time and
i should find when came to
write for myself that | had print
ed much of it before" !"
Mr.. Bryan said that his second
reason for declining to discuss in
the newspapers such subjects rs
1.-The reduction of Federal repre-
sentation in certain of the South
ern States proposed by the Re-
publicans was that he never be-
lieved in discussing a thing until
it was existent or imminent and
that no action had been taken in
that matter as yet. ut is o nui-
sance," he said. "to be continu-
ally discussing matters which new
er come to pass"

Demand the liberal improye-

Demand the liberal improve
ments of our harbors and navig-
able streams, so as to reduce the
cost of transportation to the peo-
pie, and especially to the farmers.
Insist that the federal govern
ment shall exercise no power
which can as we'll be exercised BY
the State, thus giving the fullest
effect possible to the wholesome
doctrine of local self government.
Finally, let our next candidate
for the presidency remain at home
during the campaign. Rushing
over the country for weeks and
making multitudinous speeches to
all sorts of crowds, which usually
assemble mainly through curiosi
ty, may be spectacular, but 1t
lowers the dignity of the great
office and frightens away the
sober-minded masses.
we must confess that we never
before gauged Mississippi's dis
tinguished ex-congressman at bis
true capacity, but a studyo Of this
letter convinced us that he stands
head and shoulders above anr
other public man in this state
with whom we are acquainted.
Not only is his letter an able
one, but it is patriotic, and con-
denses in a few lines the entire
essence of true Democracy. In
itself it could form q platform Of
Democratic principles. and one
on which all Democrats, who
have not been tainted with the
deadly virus Of Populism, can
unltedly stand.
Yet, to the eternal shame Of
Mississippi's Democracy, such a
man as I. q. Catchings, aphilo-
sophie statesman and patriot, was
relegated to private life in the
zenith of his power, because he
would not bow down to the fetch
of l6 to /, while u lot of shallow
pated nincompoops, who can
neither talk nor think, have been
exalted to the highest councils Of
the nation and the party.
Let Democracy forsake its false
gods and return to the faith of its
fathers.

HON. T. G. cATcHINos' LETTER

Scranton Chronicle
! Recently the New Orleans Pr
cayune addressed a letter TO the
leading Democratic statesmen OF
the country soliciting their views
in regard to the results of the
election. Among the many re-
plies received, we reproduce the
Following from Hon. I. G. Catch
ings:
A. Drop free silver, which has
twice been overwhelmingly repu-
dated by the American people,
who do not want it and with the
heresies and vagaries of populism,
repels conservative voters, and
forces the party, in order to effect
fusion, either TO modify or las
aside true Democratic principles.
Drop the cry of government by
injunction. 1t never had any foun-
dation and can have none under
our system Of government.
1t was incorporated in our
platform Of 1896 solely to
CRAFTY Atgeld, who was an
gered with Mr.. Cleveland, upon
his assurance that he would carry
Illinois for the Democratic party.
1t was unfortunately repudiated
by the people twice, and his plank
should follow him, in accordance
with the proyerb that the tail
should always go with the hide.
Drop the cry Of Imperialism and
militarlsm, for nobody can be
made to be lieve that the Ameri-
can people will ever tolerate or
submit to either.
| Drop all discussion as to what
we should do with the Philippines
until peace has been restored and
the sovereignty of this govern
ment recognized. When that has
been effected we can retain them
or sail away, as may then seem
best for the interests of the
American people.
Drop the constant appeal to the
passion prejudices Of the idle and
discontented, and appeal to the
judgment Of the thoughtful, con-
ceryativo and patriotic masses, for
they will always be in the majority
and will therefore always control.
Revive the question of taxation
which is fundamental and must
remain with US always.
Teach the people once more the
good old Democratic doctrine
that they can not be made rich by
taxing them.
Assall, as of old. the favoritism
inequalities and wrongs of high
protective tariff, and demand that
its burdens be taken from the
shoulders of the producing classes.
Stand for the control of all
trusts and combines destined to
suppress competition, all good
men will agree to this, and it can
be done without making war up
on all combinations of capital,
for many of them are but the
result of legitimate evolution in
business methods and are not
harmful or oppressive.
Demand the enlargement of
! the power of the interstate COM
merce commission, to meet the
defects in the present law, so
that all persons and communities
shall receive fair and equal treat
ment from railroads and other
transportation agencies.

THE SOUTH SAFE.
New YORK; .JonrnaI

New York journal.
1t is intImated now that the
scheme to cut down the represen-
tation Of the Southern States In
Congress will be dropped. If ii
not dropped now it certainly will
be later; so it might as well 90
now. There is nothing in it in its
legal form to pay for the trouble
of pushing it. What made it SO
attractive to some feather-headed
newspapers in the North was the
idea that all the people who stay
cd at home from the polls IN the
South for any cause co1ld be de-
Quoted from the representative
population. When they find that
Congress can take no account of
such matters, but must look sole
ly to the statistics of persons ac-
tually disfranchised by law, as re-
corded in the census, they will
lose interest in the subject. It is
more than doubtful whether the
strictest application of such rule
could affect more than half doz-
en- seats in the House.

"The fact is at the present time
when we read newspaper am
notsaying your paper or any other
paper; ] am taking the average
newspaper--when we read a news
paper we do not know whether
we are reading the truth. We
have q very strong presumption
that we are not. am speaking,
remember, of the average paper.
"The papers that ! see are
mostly city papers. / am not
speaking simply for myself. lam
speaking for other people as well.
Sat the present time there are
those who are anxiously consider
ing the matter of establishing a
journal for the purpose of telling
the truth and sufficiently capital
iziug it SO that it will have no
trouble in telling the truth"
s'In d certain respect the news
papers are like our theatres. 1t
has come to be a fact in the city
Of New York; have it from
those who are constant attendants
at the theatres-that theatre, as
d rule. cannot be made to pay
unless there is more or less OF
chat in it which is objectionable,
"The only way in which a first
class theatre can be maintained is
BY its being endowned. Now, the
same words apply to the average
newspaper.
"The papers now are run on a
business plan. They are not
leading the public. Some papers
are run for political ends, be.
cause with them politics is going
to put money into the till"
1.-THE ideal paper would be a
paper with just as much enter
prise as our most enterprisine

papers at present have. The
paper must be enterprising, other
wise it is dead before It is born.
1T must have the news. You
take market reports. In all
papers they have to be truthful.
Now, when the same truthfulness
is observed with regard to other
matters as is observed with mark
ct reports, then people are going
to know what they are reading. |
often hear people say, Il find this
and that in the paper. Therefore,
| know it is not true.'
"Of course, that is an exagge.
ration, and yet there is very
large element of truth in it.
"The ideal paper, Of course
must contain news. What would
this ideal paper do, for Instance
with press reports which come in
when there is no Immediate way
of verifying their accuracy and
thus get printed2
"It is one thing to be liable to
error, as anybody is; it is another
thing to deliberately pad your
news when you are going to it for
a purpose, and because the carry
ing out of that purpose will pay.
"It is unquestioned, or rather
an asserted fact, that the newspa-
pers are not leading public
opinion. Here are four OF five
or six papers, and if q man wants
to know what is going on he has
got to read them all; and then he
has got to strike a mean everage
between the lot. After all, you
cannot pin your faith on any one
paper, and you must strike an ave
rage between the lot in Oh der tc
get at anything. 1t is the law Of
averages the reader has to respect.

we are exporting great deal OF
freight through New Orleans Just
now, more particularly in the
matter of pig iron and coal. The
quantity of coal exported is limit
ed only by the output"
To further questions General

neer Montfort replied: "Work on
the new depot at New Orleans,
now that the City Council has act
ed favorably upon the plans and

month. 1t will be pushed to
completion as rapidly as possible,
The probability is that it will be
finished and ready for business in

there is any delay it will be caused
only by the difficulty of obtaining
