Sixth avenue the express trains are
bringing the women folk into the
heart of the shopping district On
the side streets the little shops are
thrown open to the byways, and on
the Bowery-well, the Bowery is an
apparently never ending midsummer
fair and pleasure grounds. There the
storekeepers do not pretend to do
business within doors. Their wares
are all displayed upon the street.
Men lounge about the corners, and
women and children pass to and fro.
And so it is on every little crooked
street in the lower part of town. And
on the broad avenues as far up as
Washington Heights one may see the
people walking on the streets or sit
ting on their doorsteps in the cool of
the evening.
But the favorite parade ground of
the New Yorker is Broadway. Broad
way is his pride and his delight. It
is there that you may see the true
type of the New Yorker. Broadway is
never deserted. From the earliest
morning hour till the last flicker of
the electric light the strollers are
there. In the area between Forty
one may see more actors and actress
es in the open air on a pleasant aft
ernoon in Is minutes than he could
observe in weeks tour of the the
aters.
This love of outdoor life has so i'm
pressed itself upon the people here
that they only go under a roof when
the weather or their business compels
them to- In the summer time they
seek their recreation on the street
and in the open air of the roof gar
dens, and they endeavor, as far as
possible, to eat their meals unham-
pered by the confines of brick, stone
and mortar. Not only do the lower
classes eat from counters in front of
lunch stalls on the street and from
palatial eating ears that are driven
about here and there, but those more
favored by wealth and position are
never so happy as when they are din
ing in a restaurant thrown open to
the town by wide doors and windows.
The restaurant of one swell Broadway
hotel has come as near being on the
street as is possible and still remain

RIuegrass seeding for Lawns.

The plat intended for the lawn
should be very finely pulverized for the
reception of the seed, which should be
sown early in the spring either broad
cast or with seeder, at the rate of about
three bushels per acre. The old-fash-
toned Kentucky bluegrass is the best
for the purpose mentioned; it makes
a good, firm sod and is particularly well
suited for turfng the slopes of en-
bankments and terraces, where the soil
is good. Of course this grass is not so
well adapted for hay as for pasture.
No grass will do well where the shade
is too heavy, but Kentucky bluegrass
will do as well as any we know of, and,
kept cut pretty short, it will thrive in
light shade.-Farmers Voice.

Jumbo mills can be used to pump wa
ter for the house. for stock or for irri-
cation of small patches of orchard OF

enough to irrigate ten acres of orchard.
If the best use is made of the Jumbo
the results are not to be despised. They
must be set to catch the prevailing
winds, which in western Kansas are
north and south.
Where there are but four fans. it.
often happens the wings are in such a
position, as they revOive, that but
single fan is struck by the wind at
time, whereas in the case of six or eight
fans, two, three or four may catch the
wind at a time, thus giving the mill
just that much additional strength.

doors below for escape of dead air.

Round his head like a halo there, luminous

status of the BriCadier.

In January, 1862, when Judah P.
Benjamin was secretary of war of the
confederacy, in reply to an inquiry
from the chairman of the military
committee of congress, he announced
that the construction placed by the
war department on the law was that
brigadier generals were not officers,
generally, Independently of any par
ticular command; but, on the con-
trary, under section six of the act of
March 6, 1861, held their offices ''only
while the brigades were in service"
According to this ruling. says the
Chicago Chronicle, not few so-called
brigadier generals lost their rank and
title when not in service with a brig
ade. ''In practice added Mr.. Secre-
tary Benjamin. "the assignment of
brigadier generals has been made by
the president where the body of
troops did not exceed the number
sufficient for single brigade; as, for
instance, Gen. Withers at Mobile. or
Gen. Lawton at Savannah. A brig
adler general is never appointed with
out ascertalning in advance that there
are sufficient number of regiments
ready to form brigade for the gen
eral so appointed"

This Broadway of the New Yorker
is highly beloved street. The stran-

way before he knows there is really
such place as New York. And when
one stops to think about it, Broadway
is older than New York. It began its
career when the town OF New Amster-
dam was founded. When the sturdy
Hollanders laid out their squat little
town they established only two roads.
One was on the line of Stone and

was the water 'front.' which led from

Your efforts to reform are very
commendable and worthy of your
most earnest exertions. But really,
Miss Frazier, there is so little to
work on that we believe 1t would be
better to start out anew and build
up new party from the foundation.
By the time you have sifted over all
this old rubbish and refuse you will
have so little left that it will hardly
pay for the trouble. Better just let
it go. 1t is fast topping into
oblivion and will only be mentioned
in history, if at all, as one of the
freaks of American politics.

money. The result was an impetus
to our growth that has gathered mo-
mentum year by year until today
we stand the most prosperous and
favored nation on the face OF
the globe, outstripping our rivals
in every department of human
activity, laying by great stores of
wealth, supplying remunerative toll
for all our workers, and enjoying
the fruits of good government and
liberty.
And yet we have with us a politi-
cal party that is not satisfied with
present conditions; that would seek
to improve the times by turning to
other policies and other systems.
For this laudable ambition we
should find no criticism. No times
are so good that they may not be
made better by intelligent effort.
But what audience should we give,
or what faith should we bestow up
on a party that has no other plan
that to go back to set of govern
mental policies that already have
been tried and found wanting2 The
Democratic party asks us to 60
back and fight over the fight which
we lost after eighty years of striving.
1t stands for reaction, for exploded
errors, for retrogression instead of
progress.

BRYAN AND BREIDENTHAL-
NAN VERSUS THE DOLLAR

YNDER the above caption APP
~ peared last week in the Erie
Sentinel quite an article Of intro
duction to a gentleman with whom
we are all more or less acquainted ,
Mr.. Breidenthal. With your con-
sent, Miss Frazier, we will make a
few quotations and some little COM
ment;
"The political sky is Frightening"
Well, that is good! We are glad
to learn through the official organ
of the Pop party of this county that
the scales are falling from the eyes
of the faithful and that they are be-
ginning to see the error of their
ways. When the bright glare of
truth once begins to penetrate the
dark recesses of the soul of Pop,
there is hope for reformation.
"The Peoples Party is awakening

whom the sunlight of reason has
dawned, "weak kneed devils, -
coupled with some other choice
eplthets, so all in all, we believe
the old notices will answer every
purpose.
Of course, corn did not 60 down
to 10 cents, nor wheat to IS cents,
as you predicted. And in the place
of bankruptcy and ruin under Nc
Kinley the country has never known
such prosperity in all lines. Hogs
are selling for about S4.25, cattle at
S. per cwt.; corn for IS cents and
wheat at IS cents per bushel. Lead
and zinc bring at least twice what
they did under Cleveland, and
broom corn is worth 5000 per ton
in Chicago.
So it is with all farm products,
and the farmers are more happy
and prosperous than you ever saw
them, with more money to spend
for the luxuries as we'll as the neces-
saries of life.
Labor is more generally employed
and better paid than ever before.
And we have a greater per capita
circulation than we ever did or
could have under free silver.
Yet, Notwithstanding all this,
bring out the old banners; they will
not make you appear any more
foolish in the eyes of the world than
you do now. You rallied around
those dear old notices once and
they led you to victory; possibly
you may be able to hoodoo a few
of the unthlnking with them again.
Anyway, Miss Frazier, it would be
in the line of returning to first prin-
ciples.
sit is to be hoped that the self-im-
portance of any candidate will not be
made the objective point"
Why, Miss Frazier, this desire for
Office has been the life and soul of
the Pop party. Take that away
and there is nothing left. You have
surrendered every principle you ever
had in your trucking with the Demo-
cratic party for the spoils of Office.
Sometimes your wild and woolly
resolutions have almost driven the
/ Democrats away from you, but the

IN KEEPING WITH BEcLouDED MINDS

Strange, isn't it, that among all
the little country papers publisheds
in this county the slangiest, most
undignified one is the one edited by
a man who has held the highest edu-
catiohal office in the county and
who holds now one of the highest
educational offices in the state.
What is the matter Mr.. Turner?
Cant you set the rest of us a better
example in the use of good pure
English, or do you lack command
of such. Erie Sentinel.

to the fact that they must return to
their original principles and fight for
them"
Good thought; gather in the
struggling sheep and herd them on
the barren wastes of Populism.
"Poor, weakened, selfish devils
is a pretty strong term for a lady
editor who advocates purity and
elegance of style in her contempo-
raries, to use about her brethren
who were recently IN the mire as
deep as she is--to whom the "po-
litical sky has Frightened"
But now, as to those "original
principles, let's see what they were
that this fair siren would have us
return to.
The doctrine of sub treasures all
over the country, where man
could go and get his worthless note

cashed at any time, and the govern
ment was to keep machines running
night and day to grind out promises
to pay as fast as they were demand
ed by the people, was, we believe,
one of the cardinal principles.
Then the great warehouse scheme
was another of the fundamental
principles. a warehouse was 10 be
constructed in every township,
where the farmers could take their
pumpkins, their radishes, their
watermelons, their calves, etc., and,
deposlting them, draw on the gov
eminent for their value.
Then the principle of the govern
ment furnishing direct each man
with enough money to run his bust
ness!
These are among the "original
principles" of Populism. These are
few of the vagaries on which the
Populist party was founded, and are
evidently the principles to which
this blooming editor of the Sentinel
would have the cohorts of reform
return.
We were inclined to think the
more intelligent members of her
party had outgrown this foolishness,
but probably not. She should know
best. However, Miss F. seems a
little worried over the light that is
breaking in on the bewildered minds
of some of the former stalwarts.
This warehouse plan was great
scheme. Why, just think how nice
it would be for VIM. Dyson to load
up big wagon with watermelons
and haul them down to Erie and
roll them out into the warehouse
and drive around to the subtreasury
and get the cash for them. No
peddling or hawking them around
on the streets,
And VIM. George could shake his
apples off, shovel them into wagon
box and dump them into the ware
room and receive good greenbacks
for them.
And Mrs. Willis Light could chuck
in her butter that she used TO make
when she was a farmer, and receive
the cash and spend it where she
pleased.
The business of the middle-man
would be gone, and that was one of
the original contentious.
We were never fully Informed as
to what the government was to do
with all this conglomeration of farm
commodities. The wareroom would
surely contain novel assortment of
onions, fruits, vegetables, butter,
eggs, geese, pigs, goats, etc., and
about anything mortal man could
desire would undoubtedly be found
there; but just how the government
was expected to realize on this con-
glomeration we never were able to
figure out.
"The fight Of 1916 is to be fought
over again in 1900"
That will be nice, and great
economy. In your parades you can
just bring out the old banners you
used iii 90 and need not go to the
expense of getting new ones; the
ones that read:

OFFER OF A CEMETERY
War Department Refuses to Part
With a Piece of Land
Near MoanaIua.

| AT yesterdays meeting of the Gov
ernor's council Mr. Dole notified the
members that he had authorized the
inspectors of election to increase the
number of voting compartments in
some of the districts: the number of
voters was too great to allow every
man cast his ballot within the specified
time. He stated that he had taken this
action as a preventive against dis
turbances.
Mr.. McCandless. Superintendent Of
Public Works, read a communication
from the Hawaiian Cemetery Associa-
ton whose burial grounds are located
near Pearl City, in which they stated
certain conditions under which they
would agree to bury paupers who
would have to be buried by the Gov
eminent. They stipulated to perform
this work at so much for each body.
The proposition was discussed and re-
jected.
Manager Pain of the Hawaiian Tram
ways Company gave notice through
Mr. McCandless that his company de-
sired to proceed with the construction
of switch loops on King and Beretania
streets in order to run more cars The
switches would be located half way be-
tween the present ones. Mr.. McCand-
less read draft of his reply which
was to the effect that the Tramways
Company should furnish a map and
specifications showing just what they
intended to do. 1t is thought this ac-
ton is new move on the Tramways
Company's part to gain control of King
street where the Rapid Transit Com
pany has already laid it's rails.
A letter from the Department of
State Washington, enclosing one from
the War Department, was read by
Governor Dole. The contents dealt
with piece of land near Moanalua
which the Government desired to use
as a cemetery site. The answer from
the War Department was to the effect
that the piece of land IN question was
the only section available here which
could be used for military purposes and
that other lands would be so expensive
that IT preferred to retain possession
of the property.
