OF all the insignificant characters
who have held government posi-
tions Of trust, that Of J. Sterling
Morton Of Nebraska, one time sec>
retary of agriculture, shows up
about the smallest. This small
political persimmon is attempting
to besmirch Bryan in his own state,
because Mr.. Bryan is against trusts
doing business in Nebraska in one,
the starch trust in which Morton is
stockholder and director. Mr.. Bryan
very recently took occasion to skin
Morton in most correct fashion and
now Morton is using every means
to defeat Bryan in his own state.
However, with two such worthless
as Morton of the starch trust and
Thurston of the Standard Oil trust
fighting him, the people OF Ne
braska ought not find it hard to
discover from whence the truth was
coming.

One of the Markles, big coa.'
operators in Pennsylvania, believes
he has made convincing argu-
ment when he states his employees
make an average DISCO per month.
To work in deep mines, where the
sunlight never penetrates, to cons
stantly run the chance Of tragic
death, or to contract disease from
the death fumes Of the mines, the
wage Of $50 per month seems a
paltry sum. To the people of the
west and also to the fair and i'm
partial men Of the east Mr.. Mars
kle's argument Of a fair wage scale
will hardly appeal. Under the
company store system that amount
OF money will hardly supply bare
living. especially where there is a
large family, which there generally
is among the poor.

ROPE MAKING in MANILA.

4 Good Product Turned Oat With th0
Most Primitive Machinery. o.
From the Chicago Record: Rope
making Is an industry at which many
work. The machinery used is print
tive. but the finished article the work
ers turn out Is smooth and strong.
There y no way OF cheating in this
worn. The hemp comes In bales, as
1t leaves the plantations. It il taken
out to the street, where the work IL
done and where the spools are, for the
6rst process. Time and practice are
needed to learn the knack Of keeping
the reel going around by 2 simple twist
Of the wrist. The operator backs slow
ly away as the strands grow in length,
and when he has gone as far as be
deems necessary he begins to wind up
all the cord that he has spun. For
the next operation twelve spools OF
this cord and another machine are
used. The machine has twelve cranks
1t one end and two ut the other. When
the strands are laid. " the rope be a
long one supports are erected about
fifty fe,et apart. These are to keep the
strands from visiting and tangling IS
they are spun about. s~o msH st*~~

the man who is turning the twelve
strands. Each has two cone-shaped
pieces Of wood in his hands, and in
these cones are six grooves. through
which the strands run. The operator
at the strand end turns his wheel to
the right and the men at the other
end reverse the operation. The strands
begin to twist and grow smaller and
harder. and at last the two men with
the cones start slowly toward the
strand man. II there are tangles in
front of them. they separate the snarl
with their toes. In front are twelve
strands. Behind the advancing oper-
ators are two. It Is a slow walk from
one end to the other, and 1t II hard
work to keep the strands whirling and
the machinery going until the two
ropes are complete. When all Is done
the finished object is a rope the size OF
. clothesline. II q larger rope il to
be made. the operation is repeated with
a. many strands as desired. according
to the thickness Of the rope wanted.
The process Is the same, but cones
! larger grooves are used. Tho
rope may be made of any length. In
fact. rs long as the hemp holds out the
operators can splice and splice indea-
n1tely. The rope Is rolled up in great
coils when 1t is finished for shipment,
and Is then wrapped in coarse cloth
manufactured from the same nber.

view of tho matter. but he only
shrugged his shoulders and drove on.
A few minutes after we stopped at the

the laprobe over the dashboard. took

The man came out Of the house and
walked rapidly down the gravel walk
