which the republicans are sure to have
overwhelming majorities. The states
which he has some chance of carrying,
or which he is certain of carrying, like
those on the coast of the South Allan
tic and the gulf, treat him with deris-
ion. Nevertheless, he will be nominal
ed. In a year like this, when all sane
democrats see that there is a crush
ing defeat before their party, no dem
ocratic politician who thinks he has a
future, or who wanted to have one, Is
seeking the nomination. Bryan will be
allowed to get the candidacy without
opposition in the convention from any
democrat of consequence. Then when
he is beaten at the polls, as he is NOR
ally certain to be, by a larger majority
than was rolled up against him four
years ago, he will be effaced, the dead
weight of his candidacy will be re-
moved and his party will have some
chance to make a new departure and
face the oncoming issues with a new
spirit.-Globe-Democrat.

Presidents come high. but we have
S65 a year for a chief executive. His
salary is $4,000 and found" as IL
western neighbors would say. The
presidents finding is rather compre-
hensive, covering about every posi-
Bile requirement of a family. His pri-
vate secretary, the clerks, doorkeepers,
messengers and steward and three
other servants cost us 1913, 1865 a year.
Then there is a contingent fund of
5 $1,000 a year, which the president may
use according to his discretion. In
furniture and repairs to the White
House the sum Of SIS 900 more, to be
used at the discretion Of the presi-
dent, is provided for by the nation, and
Is always expended. For fuel alone
81 5000 is allowed, and for necessary re-
pairs to the greenhouse there is $4,000.
Altogether the presidential finding"
annually amounts to the snug sum OF
$64, 1865, nearly SIS 900 a year more than
his salary. The two aggregate $1l4.-
865. This is an imposing aggregate.
but it is small compared with other
presidents. The president Of the
French republic receives a salary of
S12O 900 a year, 1872. 4Se for contingent
purposes, and a handsome house, rent
free. So we get our president rather
cheaply.-Boston Journal.

Recalling An Old atorY.

Messrs. Ellis & Elvey will shortly is
sue a third volume of the Siddal edi-
ton Of d. G.. Rossetti's works-the
celebrated translation of the Vita
Nuova" Of Dante. Mr.. William Michael
Rossetti will write the customary
predatory note. The title "Siddal Ed
ton" is, Of course, taken from the
name of Rossetti's wife, who was a
Miss Siddal. On her death Rossetti had
his first volume of manuscript poems
buried in her coffin. When, many
years after, at the request of his
friends, the coffin was opened and the
poems taken out, 1t was found that
some of Mrs. Rossetti's hair had grown
into the manuscript. Surely, In the
whole history Of the literary world,
there is nothing to equal the pathos of
disturbing poor humanity in its last
rest for the sake Of giving a few poems
to the general public! But 1t was done.
and the act Is a lasting stain on tho
memory Of the injudicious friends who
advised such a sacrilege.-London

BRYAN'S QUEER POSITION.

Pennsylvania's State Democratic
committee has made william J. Bryan
its choice for the nomination of that
party in 1900. New York's democratic
leaders refused to affiliate with Bryan
when he was in their state a day or Two
ago. Al officious friend of Bryan a
short time & introduced a resolution
in one branch of Maryland's legisla-
ture inviting him to deliver an address
before that body. The speaker, who is
a democrat and who presumably sup
ported Bryan in 1896, referred the res
olution to a committee which has no
cognizance over such matters. He did
this in a spirit of derision. The COM
mittee, in the same sort of spirit, has
just reported the resolution unfavor-
ably.
The position of Bryan, therefore, in
his party may be said, in the cant Of
politics, to be somewhat mixed" An
analysis Of the conflicting attitudes
taken by these states, however, Will not
be particularly pleasing to the m
cratic aspirant. Pennsylvania, which
has Endorsed Bryan's candidacy, rolled
up a plurality Of 295, 900 against him
in 1896. The plurality will probably
go up to the round 300, 900 in 1900.
New York, in which the democratic
leaders are against Bryan, has been
called a doubtful state until the cleo
ton of 1896. in which 1t cast a plur-
ality of 26S, 900 for Mckinley. This
year the anti-Bryan margin is likely to
be fully as broad. Maryland, the only
state Of the three in which Bryan could
be expected to have the faintest chance
of victory at the polls, treats him with
contempt.
This is the situation which presents
itself to tho ambitious Nebraskan. The
states in which his party leaders are
enthusiastically for him are states in

MAN IN THE FUTURE,

Many men of learning devote much
time to the study of the man of the fu-
ture. They all agree that he is to be
very superior to the present genera
ton. Great physical strength is proph-
esied, but this at least is within the
reach of everybody. Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters will bring health and
strength to anyone who uses it faith
fully. 1t cures constipation, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, b%iliousness, malaria,
fever and ague and liver and kidney
troubles. 1t makes rich red blood, and
with pure blood comes health. 1t
builds up the whole system, putting
vigor into the nerves and blood, firm
ness into the muscles and health into
the bowels. Give it a trial, and see
that a private revenu stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.

The shooting Of Goebel of Kentucky
is likely to create a row which will riv-
al the war in South Africa. 1t is a de-
plorable condition hat exists in the
Blue Grass state. No such thing as
evenness of temper exists there. A re-
sort to arms is the first thought Of the
average citizen. Feuds are started
which last through several decades and
are only wiped out when all the parti-
cipants are killed. Public sentiment is

being 'carajo,' pronounced 'carahoo.' In

The most notable fact about the pc

leased lands. Having gobbled up ev-
erything they can get their hands on,
they now seek to prevent others from
obtaining benefits. Their lease-hold-

as to cover their home range, and they
now seek to keep the balance of the

STUMBLED, BUT WON A WIFE.
A Governors Quick Wit Turns an
Awkward Mishap into a Triumph.

Governor Aaron V. Brown, of Ten
nossee, was a Chesterfield for polite
ness and a TaIleyrand for wit. When
he, a much-admired widower, was pay
ing his addresses-as yet unavowed-
to an attractive young widow, he call
ed at her house one day and was ush-
cred into a room darkened to the de-
gree which the prevailing fashion of
those days declared to be elegant, and
before the governor had familiarized
himself with the surrounding objects
in the gloom the young widow entered
the room. With enthusiastic devotion
he advanced to meet her hastily, not
noticing a low stool directly in his
pathway; unhappily, he stumbled over
it and plunged upon his knees direct
~ at the feet of the object of his affec-
tons. Before she could utter a word
of apology or sympathy the adroit gov
ernor, Selling her hand, exclaimed:
Madam, a happy accident has brought
me where inclination has long led me-"
The formal declaration which followed
was of course successful, for such
ready gallantry could not be resisted
