THE GERMANS AND BRYAN,

An interview Of the greatest
political importance was that
given by tho editor of the New
York Staatz Zeitung, to the New
York World last Sunday. Editor
Ottendorfer is a power among
Germans, a fair representative Of
the best sentiment among them
and the owner and editor of their
most widely circulated newspaper
in this country. It might also be
stated he was bitterly opposed to
Mr.. Bryan in 1896.
"German-Americans,' said Mr..
Ottendorfer, "are opposed to Nc
Kialey because they have made
up their minds that Mckinley and
his administration stands for
imperialism and militarism. Ger
man-Americans abhor and fear
imperialism end militsrism. Per-
sonal]y, I would prefer Bryan's
election to AcKinley's reelection.
In my opinion the Kansas City
convention would do a wise thing
by remaining silent on thu free
silver issue. 1 do not suggest a
trimming of sails to fool the people
on the money question, or that
the convention should repuaiate
the platform of 1896. The demo
cratic party has great oppor-
tunity if it looks forward and not
backward. A great majority Of
the people of this country do moi
wish to be forced to vote for Nc.
Kinleyism, imperialism and mill.
tarism. l am convinced thai
thousands and thousands of voters
who four years ago preferred Ne
Kinleg to Bryan now prefer Bryan
to Mckinley"
Mr.. Ottendorfer's expression
are much in line with those of tn
German-American press which
recently formed an advisory com
mittee to supervise the work o
the German department of tn
democratic national press bureau
It is notable that of the ten editor
already thus enrolled four hav'
papers that in 1896 we're antagon
istic to Mr.. Bryan. There is N
doubt that this year, on the grea
vital issues which must tax
precedence of all not SO immediat
however proper in their time, til
German-American vote can b
rallied for democracy.

A POLITICAL STRAW.

An effective volley was fred in
the cause of democracy by the
Pennsylvania democrats at their
state convention. Sixty-four dele
gates were chosen. Thus far five
states have held democratic con-
ventions - Massachusetts, Utah.

Bryan for president, and all except
Pennsylvania for the reaf1imation
of the Chicago platform. The
tone of the Pennsylvania platform
leaves no doubt that the delegates
from that state will stand Loyalty
by the platform of 1896 in its
essentials. The action of these
state conventions affords an idea
of the democratic opinion as to
the wisdom of sending instructed
delegates. 1t will be we'll If every

feet the desires and wishes Of the
democratic masses. The only
opportunity the masses have t.
express their desires is at thu
primary elections. The delegate.
chosen by the primaries should b,
instructed, and the delegates whom
they, in turn, choose at the stat
conventions should be instructed
In accordance with the purpose
prescribed by the primary voters
Then the final result at Kansa
City will not be the outcome o
trades and doubtful compromises
but will be, as it should be, tn
formal registration of the PEG
ple's will.

BORN SANITARIANS.

At recent meeting of the boards of Health of Pennsylvania, Dr. Benjamin Lee emphasized a truth to which insuf- ficient attention has been paid. Wo- men, he said, are born sanitarians, whereas men must be taught This fact, we should say is based upon the evolution of the race, as the role that cleanliness plays In civilization is un- doubtedly due to women. Advantage of this great fact should be taken in our national housekeeping. True wisdom consists in utilizing the teachings. ten dencies and habits shown in the racial development. Women, by office and ev- olution, are the housekeepers and health officers of the family Let them become publicly and officially our health officers and sanitary managers. The marvellous ability and success already shown by them is this field warrants every confidence. There are millions of unoccupied women, who can thus find a work that will bring gladness to giver and receiver, and that will lift up long way in the progress of civilization.- Philadelphia Medical Journal.

BEATING THE CLERGY.

Games by Which These Good Men are
 Deprived of Their Ready Money
 The most persistent and unique of ad- venturers in the national capital are the fakirs who haunt the clergy and persons connected with philanthropic work. They are frequent callers at all pastoral residences in the city a day never pass ing without two or more presenting themselves at the door. Some are well dressed and others are garbed like the poor. They have various methods of presenting their cause, but each and all have the same object to obtain money. Sometimes their stories are almost ludi- crous, but at other times they are heart- rending, and it is almost impossible for clergyman to decide the merits of the case.
 One prominent divine said last week that in all his experience he had never met a stranger begging for help whose case, when investigated was found worthy
 The Rev. Dr. Mcleod, of the First Presbyterian church, in conjunction with four other leading clergymen, had an experience not long ago which was as laughable as 1t was eXasperating. A woman clad in deepest but shabby mourning called at the church office shortly after noon and told pitiful tale of woe. She said that her only daughter had died the night before, that she had formerly been mmber of his church, and her dying request was that Dr. Mcleod should preach a ser mon at the funeral, which would occur ba OIL ,+ She gave a number and street in a somewhat distant locality
 The doctor at once consented to off, ciate at the funeral, and expressed the greatest sympathy for the bereaved mother. The woman then began to weep, and told Dr. Mcleod that her finances were in a straitened condition. and that she lacked just two dollars of

HOUSE COVERED WITH PLACARDs
A Queer Character Arrested on Pier
 pont Street Yesterday Afternoon.

A Queer Character Arrested on Pier
 pont Street Yesterday Afternoon.
 A strange character who gives the name of Professor" Edward N Sper- ry was arrested yesterday afternoon at his house, No 60 Pierpont street, on the charge of displaying obscene placards on his house at that number The man is an eccentric character and is thought to be little demented He is about 55 years of age and ekes out living by selling patent medicines. The nature of his mania would seem to indicate that looking at patent medicine placards has unbalanced his mind Hung about the exterior of his house and in the windows yesterday were 400 placards of all sizes on which he had written in scriptions in large letters, some of the inscriptions were extremely ludicrous, many were obscene and others were evil dently the product of a much befuddled mind.
 Among the inscriptions on the plac- ards were as follows: 'The world and babies are made of green cheese, Some of the big babies are the greenest cheese"
 Live and let the professor learn how many beans make five. Some of the professors need a sugar teat or a rattle box and an A B c book" "The pro- lessor heals the sick, makes the lame walk, the blind see in more ways than one. The professor can take away the wits of anyone in the world. The pro lessor is the eighth of the seventh flesh and the third son of the descendent seed of the world again inspired" This last was written on large sheet of paper and was pinned to the front of the house and surrounded by smaller cards. A visit from his landlord had evidently called this forth; "Can you read and read the truth? I, King Ed ward, own this house and the world. am the head male or man of the world and l will pay no rent for my own property
 On another card was this: For chills and fever drink until you vomit good, then drink again and you are all we'll. It acts as a Seidftz powder
 Another gem was: "The professor po- litely invites anyone in the world to tackle onto hip. He itcl1as for it.''
 The man is patriarchal in appearance and has a long grey beard. He would not say much when questioned by the police last night He will probably be examined as to his sanity to-day.

THE CRAWFORD TROLLEY RoA

THE CRAWFORD TROLLEY ROAD.
 The strip of land for trolley purposes negotiated for with MT. Chidsey of East Haven and the East Haven Cemetery association, was negotiated for, not by the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company, as stated in various of the pa- pers yesterday, but by the cCmpany which is building the new trolley line from Branford to East Haven. The strip is ten feet wide and about 1000 feet long, and it is understood that the land in question is fully secured. The cemetery association appointed a com Snittee-Walter Chidsey, L. r. Richard eon and A. L. Fabrique-to which was referred the matter of a sale of land to the railroad company MT Woodward stated to the cemetery association that if he owned the land Of the association he would gladly give the railroad con- pany what land 1t needed to carry out its trolly extension.
 An option for the purchase of the land in question was secured by the trolley company about ten days ago.
