The life of land tortoise is known
TO be long one, and this is the time of
year when the suburban correspond

with dates carved upon their shells,
which may or may not be authentic
The first of the season came to hand
one day lately and deals with the expe-
rience Of Lynford Knowles OF Leeds

his cellar of snsils, and was told that q

II il fact worthy Of note in Eng
hsh maritime experience that the
great passenger steamship companies
are not those which are the most prof
table sea-going enterprises. The Lon
don Economist has recently given the
net profits for several of these lines
for last year and the year preceding.
Thus the Cunarf company paid in
dividends to its stockholders in the
year 1898 three and one-half per cent.
and in 1899 Ave per cent. The Royal
Nail paid in each of these two years
hye per cent. and we imagine that, il
they had been given, the dividend
showings Of the Z. and o. would not
have been greatly better than this.
The intimation is given that during
the present year pro6ts will be Lens,
for the reason that there has been
great advance in the price Of fuel suf-
ficient in large company to almost
eat up low rate Of dividend.
The tonnage that has proved most
profitable to British shipowners has
been that of the tramp variety, where
high speed is not an object. and where
It il not necessary to employ and pay
wages to those whose main duty IT IL
to tidy up the ship and polish the
brass work. There were quite q num-
Der OF these English tramp steamers
that paid last year to their owners 20
or 30 per cent. dividend on the cost Of
the same. OF course. a part Of this
income in shipping property has TO be
set aside tor depreciation and repairs,
hut In the cases we have reference 10
these dividends were earned and paid
after a seasonable amount had bern
deducted to make good these TIVE

The Name of De Anr.

De Mar junction is likely 10 become
historical, and the account which a
correspondent gives of the origin of
the name is therefore specially inter
csting. 1t appears that, according 10
the custom then prevailing in South
Africa, it was originally called
Brounger, after an engineer who was
connected with the works there. But
after the surrender of 1851 the Afri-
kander patriots in the Cape assembly
objected TO the name, as being Brit
ish, and the government of the day
consented to change il 10 De Aar,
which was the name of the farm On
which it was situated. Few things
could show more clearly TO what a
depth British influence had declined

Bryan has been identified with three
paramount" issues, TO which he has,
with all due solemnity dedicated his lie,
aud pledged his powers TO engraft upon
the national legislation Of the country
When in the Fifty-second Congress,
nine years ago, he was an ardent cham
pion If free trade. In a speech, long and
brilliant, he declared that "a protective
tariff was conceived in greed and fash
ioned in iniquity, false in economy and
the most vicious political principal that
ever cursed this country" Yet pro.
tectire tariff bill was passed by the first
Congress and approved by Washington.
Bryan further declared that he would
fight the protective system as long as
there was anything TO remedy The
struggle between protection and free
trade went against him. The people re-
pudiated free trade and Bryan dropped
II. IL was not wise TO paramount
free rade when it does not make votes.
-Four years ago, realizing that he must
"par mount" something else, he took mp
silver and worked il with all the force Of
his c.oquence. That in turn was repud-
iatei by the people and dropped by
Brysn. All his wild prophesies have
beeL proven TO be false by the prosperous
fact of recent experience.
THIS year, he concluded TO let free
trade alone, touch lightly on free SILVER
and paramount" imperialism, and he is
working it in the same prophet promis-
ing, reckless fashion. In opposing
prot ction he denounced Washington, in
advocating free silver he ran counter 10
all financial experience, in opposing ex-
pan>ion he reflects on Jefferson. After
fe y more campaigns he may possibly
get into line and strike something that
is right, but at present there is big
dent in the public confidence as to the
accuracy of mis- prophetic powers and as
to his leaderlike ability.

Curbstone political arguments are
oftentimes Improbable, but at the same
time gems of thought sometimes are
heard in these same discussions that are
well worth recording and setting before
the American people. Tell me what
BRYAN stands for?" / heard a man in
an outside town say to a Bryanite who
was trying to make some impression up
on small crowd who were listening.
1t is needless TO say the question was
not answ ered, for any statement as TO
what the Democratic candidate stands
for is almost sure TO be misleading. and
promptly denied by anyone arguing on
the other side.
Four years ago Bryan stood for free
silver: for practical destruction of the
Supreme Court; for the Chicago riots !;
for reduction of the tariff, which
would bring back the disasterous Demo
cratic times from 1898 TO 1896 His care
ful avoidance OF suce issues in his speech
OF acceptance shows that Bryan is a
shifty politician, and that he does not
stand for free silver as he did in 1896
but that he has taken up another cry
which he thinks is popular. Bryan does
not stand for the same things now that
he stood for when the Kansas City con-
vention met, and little brief inside his
tory of how the so-called imperialism"
was made the paramount issue" will
show how Bryan shifts his position in
order 70 catch what he thought was a
popular wave.
