Harper's Weekly, with bri11iancy
of wit and keenness of sarcasm quite
unusual for that popular pictorial,
raises the question whether ''the an
nouncement from Omaha that Mr..
Bryan would not speak again for two
months has anything to do with the
renewed activity ofVesuvius?" Atall
events that. paper thinks that ''an at
tempt, however worthy, to suppress a
volcanic outburst in one quarter of the
globe must be accompanied with an
eruption in some other"
If Su1zer should take the stump, he
having received the nomination for
Vice President, the country would
chime and ding dong with grandi1o-
quence surprising that of the silver
tongued and grandiose orator of
Nebraska.
Sixty million dollars will be ex-
pended in 1900 by nine trunk line rail
roads for rolling stock, extensions and
terminals: that sixty million dollars
will fly over the country like carrier
pigeons to find homes in the cottages
of the people; but from whence will
they come? from potent political
principle that makes possible the pros
perity of the country.
If the sea-faring nations of Europe
oppose the shipping bill, that is the
very reason why it should Immediately
pass both Houses with such ec1at that
it will amaze the world.
The Tin-p1ate manufacture was, by
a certain political party supposed to be
doomed, but it did not die, but still
lives in America if our industrial eye
glasses tell the truth, and the shipping
bill, which is under the anathemas of
that same party, will move out Of Con-
gress, ali canvas spread, waited by the
favoring breeze of great popular
demand,
Porto Rico will send coffee to the
United States and the United States
will send cotton to Porto Rico. The
Porto Ricans will be clothed and the
Americans comforted.
Beer is squirting up in the market,
but the working man has two Conso1a-
tons, wages are higher and tobacco is
not on the rise. Never was a time
when labor could sit under its own
vine and fig tree and smoke the pipe
of peace with such contentment as
now. But let labor beware lest by
unwise demand and management it
shall strangle its own prosperity
But little more coal was consumed in
the CRATES and stoves and furnaces in
the cottages and palaces of the Ameri-
can people during the year 1899 than
previously, yet seven million more
tons of. coal we're consumed in this
country in 1899 than in 1898. What is
the explanation? What is the reason
of such remarkable increase? The
answer to the question is found in the
immense iron mills of the country,
which, stimulated by the Republican
principle of protection, have opened
their locked doors, started their great
furnaces and FORCES and bellows, and,
in a greatly accelerated industrial
movement ordered, paid for and con-
sumed the extra seven million tons of
coal, and thereby furnished employ
ment to hundreds and thousands of
1aboring men. American industries
are booming.
It is not a new discovery in surgery
or pathology, though it sounds new to
thousands and millions who have not
heard of it before, that, to cure the
govt one must roast his leg. A Mil
waukee physician has tried the remedy
several times upon himself, and as
sures the equity public that his excru-

''Love is killing thing; it caused
a young girl to steal two watches and
present them to her intended, and to
make FIVE beautiful maidens dress
themselves in soldiers uniforms and
e1ope with their military beaux to Cuba

white and small torecommend them as
