The Democratic attempt to excite the
people over the trusts hasn't been very
successful. Perhaps one reason for this
| is that the Democrats haven't been vo-
| ciferous and persistent in calling atten-
ton to their great Tammany trust.
Hartley Davis gives some of the facts
of this trust in Munsey's. He points
out how this organlza lion, with its thir-
ty-five district leaders and lob captains
Of election precincts control the politics
Of New York city. They have $35,000-
600 patronage for their pains Twenty
nine of the thirty-five leaders have po-
litical offices paying $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. A trust is a conspiracy to do by
com bination that which could not be
accomplished without the combination.
The lob election precincts organize
and surrender their political indepen-
dence to the thirty-f1ve district leaders,
who in turn surrender their indepen-
dence to 1.-The leader" The leader has
autocratic power and the membership
is coerced into voting as he and his sub
leaders direct. There Is an espionage
over every member, and his political
future depends upon his voting as his
bosses direct. The members of Tam
many do not advocate political policies,
but under the direction of bosses vote
like so many hirelings. To illustrate:
The Democratic platform demands "the
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the present ratio of 16 to / without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any other
nation" OF the 10000 voters in Tam
many, not 10 per cent. believe in free
coinage of silver. In fact, 80 per cent.
believe 1t would be a public dishonor,
ruinous to the nations commercial
interests and destructive of the business
interests of the city of New York Yet |
the political trust will cast these votes
against private judgment for Mr.. Bry-
and and 16 to l.
This is a trust big enough and wick
ed enough to deserve the opposition of |
the frustrating Democrats. Croker sold |
his stock in the Ice trust, but there are
no signs that he means to get out of |

as the town people, who know about
1 tides mainly through the physical geo
graphy, put it. The great task of the
'soracer" Is to get his lightWood. For
years and years it has been used; first,
before the day of lamps, to make the
light upon the family hearth, and now
to kindle the splendid wood fires when
they are first started Of a cold morn
ing, or to brighten 1t When, through
neglect, 1t has burned low Now the
supply is nearly exhausted, and the
soracer has to go miles and miles into
the very heart of the primeval forest
for the several wagonloads which are
required to carry him through the sea-
son of about forty-five days.
Each high water Is about an hour
later than the one the night before. So,
If the soracer goes out tat eight o'clock
tonight, he goes about S:45 or 8 to-
morrow night. He Is forced to return
to the shore as the ebb tide comes and
the water leaves the marsh Most peo-
pie know that marshes where sora are
found are covered several feet deep
with water at high water" and are
nothing but slick, black mud and tall

when the hide is out" The birds live
IN the oats and feed on them The rea-
son in most cases that more sora are
killed to a boat at some times during
the season than others is on account Of
the tides. Sometimes, when the wind Is
from the west, even the high tide Is too
low to flood the marshes deep enough
for the soracer to shove his boat
through the oats and grass. He has to
hunt along the creeks and thorough
fares which traverse the marsh in
many places. 1t is a saying often
heard In the country, If not in the city,
that slapped" birds are much better
than shot" ones. This is to say that
market hunters, of course, do not shoot
their game, but kill them with the long
paddle-eighteen feet long-with which
they shove their boats through the
manShees.
The glowing light from the engine. a
torch indeed. eighteen inches square
and blazing several feet high, blinds
the little birds. They sit, In terror,
upon the grass, or swim In and out
among the tufts of grass until a sorcer-
er Is In reach. A slight blow from the
Iitdf pdudlc 6tttltb lllgS IltiNH IOTtNGI,
as the country boy says, who goes out |
with his father for the fun of It, The
bird is not bruised, and is much to be |
preferred to the shot bird, which Is Of
ten badly torn. The custom is that |
only one man goes to a boat, but some
times, particularly with boys and old |
men, one goes to shove, and the other
to shove when he can, and also to /
SLAP" 1t Is not an unusual thing for .
a sorcerer to kill nine or a dozen sora
when they are plentiful, while his boat
Is in one place. He stands and slaps
the poor little things until his arms are
tired. Such night as this he Is apt to
kill fifteen or twenty dozen birds for
which he will probably get net price
Of thirty cents. This does not happen
often and only on very high tides.
The good soracer make from fifty to
seventy-five dollars in a season lasting
from Eeptember 1 to October 15.-Rich-

DIFFER ENT.

I'VE fought then for a constitutional
amendment that provided that no man
could own a slave, and yet before the
Philippine war is ended we have the
Sulu treaty which recognizes slavery"
So said Bryan in one of his careless
talks, but he was too careless In this
assertion. The treaty referred to has
been confirmed and approved by the
President subject to the action Of Con-
gress. 1t does not recognize slavery.
On the contrary, the Secretary Of War
sent notification to the Sultan that
the President had confirmed the treaty
with the understanding and reserva-
tion that it is not to be deemed In any
way to authorize or to give the consent
of the United States to the existence Of
slavery in the Sulu archipelago, thing
which is made impossible by the thlr-
teenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States"
Truth isn't always stranger than fic-
ton, but it is always different from fic-
ton. Perhaps Mr.. Bryan is too busy
trying to get votes to notice the differ
ence but 1t is noticeable

out of place on it. There was even a
sadness to him in beholding the change
that time had wrought in her The
woman whose memory had thrilled him
so was gone. He had thought about
her so much, and now she did not ex-
list. 1t was pathetic, and-what was
more painful still-this wreck Of Nora
Jernyngham could not join with him in
mourning for her. He wept alone.
You are not glad to see mel" she
said.
He was not; he was sorry. His very
soul was full of regret, of sympathy.
But he could not tell her SO, and he lis
tened for ten minutes courteously to her
distressing provocations, her disheart-
ening pleasantries. Then he rose.
She would not make a conquest of
him again, she knew 1t perfectly; he
had escaped from her chariot wheels
for all time.
Then 1 suppose this is the last time
you will be likely to see me?" she said,
shaking hands in goodbye.

HUNTING FOR SORA.
Little Birds That are Found Along the
Salt Marshes of VIRGINIA.

| Salt Marshes or Virginia.
| The sora season is here now. Nature
| was benign when she introduced the
cora time to East Virginia. 1t comes
| just after the intense heat of summer
! and Just before the partridge and hare
season begins. AS the stereotyped ex-
preston has It, 1T fills a long-felt
want" Then nature never Get up a
| better target for the amateur sports
man than a sora. The little birds have
almost to be coaxed out of the way far
enough to save themselves from being
shot all to pieces They will sit on the
grass in the marsh and walt for the
city hunter to take good aim, and
should, perchance the idea get into
their pretty little heads to fly before the
boat, they do 50 in such slow, falter-
Ing sort of way that 1t looks like
pity to shoot them. But, mirabile die
tn, to shoot them and hit them are Of
ten different things, as many a city
and country sportsman has found out.
1t Is dead sure thing" that fails.
Sora are found In the marshes that
fringe the James, Pamunkey, Malta
ponl, Chickahominy and other rivers
and streams of tide-water Virginia.
They come into the marshes from no.
body knows where about September I
and go to the same locality about Octo-
Der 10, or as soon as frost comes The
proximity of the marshes to Richmond
and the really fine sport of shooting
them has made the wilds along the riv-
ers of Eastern Virginia the Mecca of
many Richmond sportsmen. There are
number Of flrst-rate shots in Rich
nond. Every day or 80 a company of
young men and middle aged who have
been practising on clay pigeons all the
summer come back to the city, after
an absence Of several days or even a
day. bringing several dozen, even
dozen dozen or more, of the best-tasted
birds, when properly cooked of all
those that "cleave the air or dip the
wing beneath the wave" The sports
man Is showed through the marsh in a
boat by a river man and shoots the
birds as he sees them.
Sora are seventy-five cents a dozen +
now, and in a few days if they contin-
ue to increase, will be selling for fifty |
cents They hardly ever get lower than |
this to the housekeep5r.
While the city men hunt sora for the |
pleasure there is in it, there is large |
company OF men who live along The riV- !
ers In Eastern Virginia where the birds |
are found to whom the hunting means
hard work, broken rest and means of |
earning a livelihood for wives and chill
dren.
The river man rents a marsh If he
hasn't one, and when this business ar
rangement is made he has to secure his
ightwood. lie has, of course, his boat
and his engine The engine lasts for
several years; II well cared for, a life
time 1t is very different sort of a
thing from an engine in the common
acceptance of the term. It is nothing
more than an iron rack, elevated on
staff some nine feet, 1t holds the light
wood which in turn furnishes the light.
t must be recalled that sora are hunt
I'd for market at night, when the tide
s up as country people say, or 'in."

COMFORT FOR SUFFERING SILVER.

COMFORT FOR SUFFERING SHY Err
At last something has been done for
silver but as it hasn't been done at
Washington it probably wont please
Mr.. Bryan and his followers much. The
price of silver has been rising for
some months, and IS now at GA cents
an ounce-the highest price reached
since February, 1897 Since last De-
oember there has been a rise Of Az
cents The upward movement is due to
an improved demand from the East.
China has been taking more silver,
since the troops of the powers need 1t
for local purchases, wages Of coolies
and the like. Chinese merchants prefer
silver to imported goods. The Indian
government since establishing the scid
standard has found increased use for
silver rupees for improved retail bust
ness The consumption of silver in
Europe for industrial purposes has also
been large.
Good for suffering silver. Is the
world at last coming to a realizing
sense of Its cruelty to the white metal,
or Is business still business?
