Crooked Records.

. 4 L = 49, +. s. q %
Bryan has two records that are espe-
cially crooked. One Is on the trust
question and the other Is on the Philip
pines, and all through the campaign he
has been trying to wrlggle and squirm
away from them. About n year ago,
ut Chicago. at the Conference on Trusts,
he declared: Now this is conference.
We have not met here to destroy the
trusts" Later he still wanted them to
be regulated. Still later he advocated
q constitutional amendment, so the Re-
publicans in the last Congress proposed,
therefore. to amend the Constitution
that the precise thing favored by Mr..
Bryan might be done. not In an uncer-
tain or doubtful way, with everything
unsettled until case could be carried
to the supreme court, but by building
on n solid basis from the beginning.
Then the Bryanltes In Congress cast IN
almost solid vote against the Republic
can proposition and defeated It. And
ever since then Bryan has twisted and
tried, by, loud general clamor about
trusts. to get away from his own rec
ord. a.
That amendment was voted on In the
house OF representatives June /, 1900.
One hundred and forty-elght Republl-.
cans voted for the amendment and one
hundred and thirty Democrats voted
against it. Bryan did not really desire
any favorable action. He wanted to keep
the matter alive for his demagogic
campaign purposes.
So It was with the peace treaty. whose
ratification he favored and worked for.
Now he Is trying to escape responsible
ity for the part he played in the ratlfi-
cation Of that instrument. In analyz-
Ing his recent article In the North
American Review. in which he says,
Honest men will admit that from the
very beginning have been wholly of one
mind as to what we should do with
the Philippines" writer in an ex-
change makes the following rather
caustic comments:
Now. If Mr.. Bryan has never changed
his mind, there are some matters he will
have to explain. Mr.. Bryan made a
special trip to Washington and laborcd
with the opposition to secure the ratlfi-
cation Of the treaty of Paris. Without
this effort on his part. says Senator
Hoar. the treaty could not have heen
ratified. All this he did with the firm
determination that the Philippines
should not become the property of this
country. Thus Bryan stands convicted
out OF his own mouth of favorlng the
treaty without acquiring the property.
Just what the voter wants to know is,
was Col. Bryan. who held n commission
In the army of his country. In the en-
ploy of Spain. to bunco this country
out Of s20.O0O.eO0? II not. why did he
labor SO earnestly to pay Spain $40. 0OO,-
600 for. as he thinks. no value received?
II. on the other hand. 1t was, MS he
said to Senator Hoar. for political
issue two years hence is the man who
takes S20.OO0,OO0 from the United States
treasury to secure an issue to make
himself President the man we want to
trust In that exalted position?

Coal Strike Settled.

The strike of the miners In the an
thracite coal region of Pennsylvania
has been settled by the operators grant
ing all of the demands made by the
miners. This is 4 happy solution OF
contest that threatened to be prolonged
and involve other sections OF the coun-
try.
The amicable settlement OF the DIFF
ferences between employe and employer
will no doubt be a sore disappointment
to the high priest OF calamity. who has
been going around the country citing 1t
as Que of the evidences of his claim
that the boosted prosperity of the coun-
try was mockery and 4 sham, al
though the contentious of the miners
bore no relation TO the general pros
porous conditions of the land. In
Democratic times worklnsmcn do not
strike, because there is nothing to strike
for.

Signs of Democratic Distress.

Elsewhere is published two circulars
sent ttby the chairman of the DEM
ocratic congressional committee for the
Fourth district. and the chairman OF
the Democratic state executive commit
tee. The statements contained In
Chairman Mlller's circular contains
many glaring Measurements. The one
with reference to the special telegram
sent out from Charleston by cores
pondent alleged to be clerk in the Of
flee OF Secretary OF State Dawson is
maliciously false. The warnings con-
tained In these circulars that the Re-
publicans in the legislature will re-dis-
trict the state TO suit themselves are
highly amusing In the light Of the VIC
ious gerrymander OF the Democrats,
which now virtually DISTINGUISHES 5000
Republicans. Jim" Miller would bet
ter stick to his original occupation OF
running down ''one-legged niggers" and
leave the peculiar literary work he is
engaged In alone.
Chairman Scanlon's Addisonian effort
Is devoted to a wall and warning about
the corruption Of the voters that Is go
Ing to be done by the Republican MAIL
ayers. This Is n sad comment on the
commercial Instincts of the Democrats
OF the state. So 1t Is only necessary
to buy them? They have no princi-
pies. Well. 1t appears TO US that there
nre some Democrats who are likely to
resent this imputation. Every move the
Democrats OF West Virginia are maxi
Ing shows their desperation. and their
utter hopelessness of carrying the state.

VeyS different meaning, it is not WON
derful that in the conversation Of half
baked Chinese scholars hailing from Eu-
rope there occur mistakes of pronuncia-
ton at which the Chinese are hugely
amused. Every vowel has four tones,
and to the untutored ear three are very
much the same. There is theory abroad
them too much Chinese learning makes
men little mad, and among our consuls
1t is standing joke to echo the talk of
their Fellow countrymen and say: "Of

ISOLATION of the CHI aese has contributed
to the extraordinary difficulty Of their
language, and how far their isolation is
due to it-clearly case of action and re-
action.
In the Forbidden City, which contains
the imperial palaces no foreigner ever
sets foot, except when the stats of the
legations carry their congratulations to
the emperor on the New Year day-the
9Th of February of the Chinese calendar

ence, one of which took place when
Prince Henry Of Prussia was personal
ly received by the emperor at the very
door. This question of audience has for
the last hundred years been of the high
ct political Importance. First came the
demand for the performance of the ko-
tow; then the right of audience, COM
pletely conceded in 1873; lastly, the place
of. audience. toward the satisfactory So
luton of which much was done when
Sir Nicholas OConor was received, NOT.

appears before the light, but it is daily
being broken down by it's OWN weight
under external pressure In Years to
come even the horrors of the Pekin cart
may be discarded by foreign residents in
favor of the foreign rickshaw, but this
depends more on the mending of Chinese
roads than on the ,mending of Chinese
manners. How long will the dry bones
live? But for the interfering hand of the
barbarian certainly would they live in

ORANGE BLOSSOMS LEGEND.
A Pretty story That Had It's Origin
in Spain.


Like all familiar customs, the origins of
which are lost in antiquity, the wearing
of orange blossoms at a wedding IS ac-
counted for in various ways. Among
other stories is the following popular le-
gcnd from Spain:
An African king presented a Spanish
king with a magnificent orange tree,
whose creamy, WaXy blossoms and won
derful fragrance excited the admiration
Of the whole court. Many begged in
vain for a branch of the plant, but a for
elgn ambassador was tormented by the
desire to introduce so great a curiosity
to his native land He used every posi-
bic means, fair or foul, to accomplish
his purpose, but, all his efforts coming
to naught, he gave up in despair. The
fair daughter Of the court gardener was
loved by young artisan, but lacked the
dot Which the family considered neees-
sary to bride One day, CHANGING to
the gardener thoughtlessly gave it to his
daughter
Seeing the coveted prize in the girl s
| hair the willy ambassador offered her a
sum sufficient for the desired dowry, pro-
Vided she gave him the branch and sa d
nothing about it. Her marriage was soon
celebrated, and on her way to the altar,
in grateful remembrance of the source Of
all her happiness, she secretly broke eff
another bit Of the lucky tree to adorn
her hair.
Whether the poor court gardener lost
his head in consequence of his daughters
treachery the legend does not safe. but
many lands now know the wonderful
tree, and ever since that wedding day
orange blossoms have been considered a
hitting adornment for bride.

possessing the longest railroad tunnel IN
the universe, and one having the deepest
vertical line from summit to center in the
known world
The other great marvel in railroad en-
elheer work was begun a little over
TWO years ago when S. H. Graves, of
LONDON and his associates in the United
states, announced they would build line
OF rallroad from Skagway to Dawson,
oolng away with the famous White pass
preclplces and tales of accident to man
and beast This road was also consider
eo Impossible on account Of the appar-
entity impossible rocky barriers that lay
across It's one r1ght-of-way. Yet for near
ly twenty months the line has been in
operation from Skagway to Bennett and
IS now rapidly finding a trail up to Daw-
son, the great metropolis of the Canadian
KIond1ke. Along this line the most costly
construction in the world has been done,
outside of that on the Cascade tunnel. So
1t is that two men have shown the world
what American brains are capable of, In
the way of building seemingly impossible
miles of railroad.
There has to the present time never
been given out officially any figures
tending to show what the Cascade tun-
mel would cost the Great Northern road.
A compilation of figures representing the
amount of money monthly paid out for
labor in the three and one-half years the
road has been at work on the hole shows
the outlay to June, 1900, to have been
In the netghborhood of 81, $50, 900. Between
now and the middle of December, when
It is announced the road will be complet-
ed, it is figured fully 100000 more will
be paid out to labor. After that follows
the erection of plants and appliances
with which to operate trains through
the tunnel. an electric plant to furnish
trains through the hole, and a rough es-
innate of the cost of the completed tun-
mel is said to be about s., 650, 600 in actual
cash. While these figures are not Off
cial, they are said to be near enough
to permit of a pretty accurate concep-
ton.
The actual length of the tunnel, when
finished, will be 1858 feet The work
of building the approaches was begun in
January, 1887, and in August following
drilling was begun into the mountain
The Cascade range runs north and south.
At the eastern end of the tunnel the COM
pany established a working camp which
has since grown into the thriving little
town of Cascade. At the western end Of
the tunnel, directly over the mountain,
another camp was established and this
is now known as Wellington. Every foot
of construction had been done by the
Great Northern railway under the direc-
ton of skilled engineers who during the
progress of the work have lived at the
camps.
