For an admiXJure Of sophistry. dem
agogy and appeal to prejudice. Bry-
ans acceptance speech goes far to the
front. His custodianship of the decla-
ration of independence and the con-
stitution; his invocation of all the
sainted martyrs of the past his gloomy
torebodings Of dying republic, crush
ed under the power OF plutocracy and
militarism; are meaningless when an
alyzed, but are crafty calculated to
deceive the surface thinkers. That
Bryan is a master hand at light rea-
soning will be cheerfully conceded.
Facts do not trouble him much. He
cleverly steers around them without

House has only q Republican majority
and most of the districts that were
carried by small pluralities two years

SINGING AT THEIR WORK.
Darkies Accomplish Much Moro Whom
They Can Mako Music.

Contractors in south Missouri en-
ploy many negroes to load railroad
ties on the cars of the Memphis rail-
way, says the Kansas City Star The
ties are cut in the woods, hauled to
the railway in wagons and dumped In
piles along the side of the roads. The
negroes then take them up, tie by tie,
and run with them up the planks to
the cars, where they drop them in
regular order. These negroes are paid
price for each tie they carry, so they
vie with one another to earn the most
money in one day. They become so
expert at the work that an old hand
can throw heavy tie on his shoulder
so that 1t will balance, and then, with
out holding 1t, he will run, both hands
pressed fiat against his sides, up the
gang plank to the car. The negroes
are so accustomed to the whrk that
they seldom drop tie and seem never
to have sore shoulders. One may see
gangs of a dozen or more Of them, all
singing and whlstling. Each sings at
the top OF his voice or whistles as loud
as he can, and every tune is different.
The effect Is amusing, but beyond de-
scrption. The men carry their ties at
a trot all day long. An inspector
stands beside the plank that goes up
the car to examine the ties being load
ed. 1t is amusing to hear the inspec-
tor call negro halfway up the plank
with tie on his shoulder to throw it
away among the heap of bad ties. The
negro gets no credit for his load and
goes back swearing at his bad luck,
while his companions stop their music
and burst into loud, uncomfortable
laughter. All these negro tie carriers
have deep grooves in the right Shout
der, where the ties have pressed, but
the flesh is calloused and seldom sore.
The men make good wages, most OF
them $3.50 a day. They spend all OF
it. Very few Of them save their
money.

The Criminals Wages.

1t does appear to the MESSAGE
that one important improvement
of our criminal laws is needed and
needed at once. Here is n simple
example: A man of family is con
victed of stealing a horse or hog;
he is snatched from his home and
thrust into State prison for a term
of years and his support taken
from his family. Now the qucs
ton is, has the State any right to
take that support Not to be too
severe, isn't in just about as much
guilt as the mani
We had ease in the Audrain
Circuit Court last week. A man
was convicted of stealing hogs and
his punishment was fixed at two
years in the penitentiary. When
the verdict came his wife with a
two weeks old baby sat at his
side. The awful announcement
against her husband brought n
weight upon her heart almost UNI
bearable for the time. Like Il flash
she realized what the loss would
be to her and her innocent little
one. Now if that verdict stands
the wife must not only feel and
suffer disgrace but the State has
taken from her her stay and sup
port for the necessities of life. Is
it right
Other States are guilty along
this line, but that does not change
the face of the matter. Looks as
tho the Missouri Legislature might
give this subject a little investiga-
ton next winter. Why, come to
think about it, they did better than
that hundred years ago in France
and yet in that time Hugo thought
to write his Les Miserables.

LIE In Portuguese Colonies Much Like
1t Was 800 Years Ago.
The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land of real
ity. After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da CANA and
his bold successors left them. In the
years report of our consul for Angola
these Portuguese peculiarities stand
out strongly. Thus. from Loanda, the
capital, to Cape Town, is about / 600
miles, and the journey should take
about six days. What actually hap
pens is this: You first take a trip Of
5000 miles to Madeira, where you way
lay the next mail steamer. and then
complete the excursion by another
journey of $500 miles to Cape Town.
In short, $500 miles have to be trav-
eled to cover a distance of | 900 miles
letter between Cape Town and Lo-
anda takes about two months. Here
Is a picture of what trades mean in
the favored region of Cabinda bay,
where there is single trader, who
occupies house of three rooms. with
shop" of 20 by feet attached. The
place is stocked with puncheons of some
vile stuff called rum" which are ex-
changed for palm kernels. Knots of
natives from the interior villages with
loads Of kernels begin to present
themselves at the shop at 6 a. m. and
when the trader at last makes his ap-
rearance there is a noisy crowd of kerr
nel-sellers and thirsty hangers-on. The
exchange of rum for kernels is quick
ly effected, and by in the morning
the entire population may be seen ly-
ing under the shelter Of the cocoanut
palms, either stupidity drunk, or noisily
quarreling. On a good" day, which
is often enough Sunday. the trader at
Cabinda bay gets rid of about 100 gal
Ions of rum. And he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
In the year Next to rum and "civili-
cation" the greatest curse of West
Africa are smallpox and the sleeping
sickness. From the last no case OF
recovery has ever been known, and so
contagious is it that in the native
Christian communities every COM
municant has a separate vessel from
which to partake OF the sacramento
wine. 1t is true there are labor ar
rangements which look uncommonly
like slavery-but then, so there are in
Rhodesia, and some are gleefully an
ticipating the time when Johannesburg
will be better.-London Leader.
