PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

ton before anything else the repub-
licans show their prediction for spe-
cial privilege deals. - Indianapolis
News Qnd.).
Its cinch that the ship subsidy
bill will be passed by congress if Mark
Hanna's bullwhip hasn't lost it's crack
er and his biceps muscle it's whip-swing-
ing cunning.-St. Louis Republic.
There are no trusts, according to
the assurances of that most estimable
republican leader and manager, Mr.
Hanna. Why talk about regulating
that which does not exist? - Omaha
World-Herald.
The army increase to be asked
for by the president is unquestionably
needed. 1t is not needed by the repub-
lie, but it is sorely needed by the en-
pire, and a greater increase will be
imperative in the near future if McKin-
ley imperialism is to be continued as
the american" policy.-St. Louis Re
public.
1t is more than passing strange
that some of the republican leaders in
congress should persist in pushing the
ship subsidy bill in the teeth of the op-
position of nearly all the people of the
country and in the face of the fact that
shipbuilding without subsidies is en-
joying the biggest boom it has ever
known in America. - Indianapolis
Press.
THE republican ma jority of the
ways and means committee has ready
to its hand one answer to all the peti-
TONERS for a reduction of the war taxes.
The committee can say with perfect
truth: you voted to retain in power
the administration which is response
BILE for the Philippine war. You can
not fairly object to paying the expense
of that war" There can be no answer
to this statement.-Chicago Chronicle.
A trust asking for tariff protec-
ton and then forcing up the price of
its porducts on the people of this coun-
try whose government gave the protec-
ton is an object that is very offensive
to those who are thus oppressed When
the people see how this state of affairs

Three measures-the army bill,
| the isthmian canal bill and the ship
subsidy bill-are named by Senator
Burrows, of Michigan, as the chief OBJ
| jects of republican solicitude during g
the short session of congress. They
cover prospective expenditure of more
than $5OO,Oo0,OOO. The taxpayers of the
country ought also TO be full of solici-
tude. When these three measures shall
have become laws mortgage will have
been practically entered upon against
the whole property of the people,

Art-WeaVfnr in Italy.

Lombardy, once unrivaled in Europe
for its textile fabrics in silk and linen,

the holy year. 1t is an altar cloth

records of italian art weaving. In no
previous composition ever woven in
Italy has the number either of weft
reels or warp cards exceeded 5000,
while in the pope's new altar cloth
the numbers are, respectively, 17,700
and $4,000. The style is Gothic We
netian and the composition repre-
sents, with a rare wealth of symbol

INVENTED BY A WOMAN.
The Spindle and Loom Were Origi-
nally Designed by a Chinese
Worker.

All women are not degraded in China.
Witness the dowager empress, who
rose, by the force of her own will, from
the position of slave to that of ruler
over the most populous nation on the
globe. Notwithstanding the prejudice
against the sex among the Mongols
women occasionally break through the
barriers and achieve distinction.
In Shanghai, the metropolis of the
most coveted section of that vast en-
pire, is a temple erected in honor of
Huang, a woman deified for her great
service to her people, and Chinese men
do not disdain to worship before her
image.
Centuries ago an elderly lady of good
family and condition, who had hitherto
lived in the region of Kwan-Tung, re-
moved to Wu-Ni-Ching, near Shang-
hal, where she spent the remainder of
her life. Since the lady happened to
be Huang, this simple event revolution
lied the province in which she made
her home. 1t was a great revolution,
yet the most conservative will not ac-
cuse her of having left ''woman's S
sphere since her instruments were
those associated with countless wom-
en-, from Penelope, the terrible Fates,
and the ''virtuous woman" of Solomon's
praise, down to our own grandmothers
the spindle and the loom.
Cotton fabrics have been used to
some extent in China for 1900 years,
but the cotton interest, now so i'm
portant, received its first real impetus

wheat from Egyptian Tombs,

The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to cause grains
of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to germinate and grow
This statement has been disputed, and
the question was discussed at a re-
cent meeting of the French Academy
of Science. 1t was shown that while
the albumen of wheat found in a
tomb 5000 years old had undergone
no alteration, the embryo was changed
and could not be caused to germi-
nate. But a fresh embryo placed in
the ancient albumen would grow, and
this fact, it was said, probably ac-
counted for the statement that the
old Egyptian wheat rescued from its
long entombment would sprout and
grow.

POST-ELECTION ISSUES.
paiGn and Republicans VIII Be
Held to Them.

1T is fortunate for the party in
power" said President Mckinley, in
his late speech at Philadelphia, eff it
understands the true meaning of the
result of the elections"
indications are that the party in
power, if the utterances of its party
organs are an index, have entirely
Inexperienced the true meaning.
Republican party organs as a unit
are placing upon the November cleo
tions constructions which are entirely
unwarranted by the results. They in
fer that the elections have put an end
to the issues of imperialism and mill
tarism; that the American people are
pleased with the Philippine war and
eager that it be prosecuted to the
conquest of those islands by resort
to the most violent measures.
They claim that the Hamiltonian
tendencies of the Mckinley admins
tration have been approved and that
the American people see attractions
IN an English governmental system
such as Hamilton favored; that the
American people are in favor of grab
bing territory wherever shadow of
an excuse to warrant such seizure
stands out. Some have even gone so
far as to assert that the American
people favor trusts.
None of these differences are war
ranted. The results of the election
show rather that those who lead the
Crh Of orin ro
opposed to all these policies.
1t may be said without any slight
of the population of the country dis
tricts of the nation that the cities
lead in public movements, not because
of greater mental power, but because
of greater proximity to the sources of
information. In the cities, with re-
markable uniformity, the republicans
sustained great losses. In Boston
and New York republican majorities
were converted into democratic ma
jorities, and in all the big cities a SIM
liar falling off in the republican vote
was apparent.
The just inference is that those
who voted on the immediate issues in
the last campaign voted against Nc
Kinley.
Moreover, the republican party or
gans during the campaign did not de-
bate or defend Imperialism, militarism
and trusts. Their labors were con-
fined to an agitation of the prosperity
which they declare had characterized
the administration of William McKin-
ley and to denunciation of the demo-
cratic candidate for his policies in
1896 and of the men who, they
charged, would form his cabinet
should he be elected. They made and
won on other issues than those put
forth as paramount in the democratic
platform.
Having carried the nation on the
issues they made, the American people
will hold them to those issues. They
cannot, after the election, make para
mount those issues which, before the
election, they ignored or denounced
as specters and bugaboos. The recent
policies of Mckinley, his Philippine
war, his increased standing army, his
British Nicaragua canal, his Hamil-
tonianism do not stand approved.
They are in suspense, waiting to be
passed on by the people when other
campaigns throw them to the front.

THE NEW VICE PRESIDENT.
Mckinley and Hanna Have Got Some
thing Pretty WOOlIy Tackled
On to Them.

The incongruity of Mr.. Roosevelt's
election to the vice presidency has i'm
| pressed itself upon the press of the
nation, regardless of politics. The
vice president should be a man of dig
nifty, a good parliamentarian, level
headed gentleman, who is willing to
take a back seat; in short, he should
be all that Theodore Roosevelt is not.
Everybody is wondering whether the
vice presidency will reconstruct Roose-
welt, or whether Roosevelt will
try to reconstruct the vice presi-
dency. ''Tradition and precedent"
remarks the Atlanta Constitution,
have minimized whatever power once
rested in the vice presidential office.
Good form DEGREES that he should be
conveniently absent most of the time,
SO as to let the pro tenn. have
chance. On this point friendly
newspaper says:
Whether Mr. Roosevelt will adapt
himself to this situation or whether
the mountain will 60 to Mahomet re-
mains to be seen. Mr.. Dooley many
months ago told the suffering Hen
messy that when he read in the paper
of the vice president dragging two
senators out of the cloak room and
there thrashing them, he might know
that his old friend, Teddy, was in Of
fee. Whether the wave of good fell
lowship that now pervades republican
circles will permit any such innova-
rt lc
| haps an open question. At all events,
as vice president he will be an inter-
esting study" And the Waterbury
American offers this suggestions:
"While, however, the inclusion OF Vice
President Roosevelt as participant
in cabinet discussions and adviser on
national affairs might not add to the
smooth running of the cabinet ma
chine, it would doubtless be an eX-
perience of great value to Gov. Roose-
velt. 1t would teach him certain les
sons of patience, tact and diplomacy,
in which his chief is past master, and
of which he himself stands most in
need. If, as people now think, he IS
| the most likely man in the United
! States senate to succeed Mr.. Mckinley
| in the white house in 1904, the latter
would be doing a valuable service to
the country by giving Teddy chance
to find out practically what it means
| to run a cabinet

THEY HAVE HARD SERVICE.
Soldiers I'm the French Foreign Ls-
gion Have Anything But an
Easy Time.

The French foreign legion, which is
again the subject of Partisan political
gossip, offers about the hardest mill
itary service in the world, and no one
who knows enters it until he has ex-
hausted all other means of support or
wishes to bury himself, says London
paper. Men of all nations are in its
ranks, many of them hard characters,
criminals and jailbirds, and it is al
ways sent by France to do the dirty
work which that country naturally
does not choose to impose upon its own
children.
Thus it has held the frontiers of the
African colonies, where every now and
then post is cut to bits by wild Arab
tribe. The fever-infested portions of
Cambodia and Indo-China, which Lodi
has described, have also been the scene
of its exploits. The discipline, too, is
most severe. Flogging is daily occur
renee and capital punishment is the
result of the most trivial offenses.
Thus the cases of insanity in the legion
are of much larger number than in
any other branch of the French service.

A physician who has been studying the
insanity of the legionaries says that a
majority of the cases are well devel-
oped when the men enlist, since few
sane men would ever accept the condi-
tions know to exist in this corps He
adds that in his opinion many men shot
for breaches of discipline were not
mentally responsible, and he says that
the same trouble may cause the insub-
ordination among the French troops
with the allies in China.

The Northern Pacific Agreement.
tBy ahe Associated Press

(By abe Associated Press)
New York, Nov. 6.-The Times will
say tomorrow:
The main points in the settlement of
the Northwestern Railroad tangle have
at last been agreed upon. This state
ment was made yesterday by member
of the Hartman Syndicate, and also by
Jas. j. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad. Many minor details
remain unsettled, however, and it is
possible some of the main features may
be slightly modified. 1t is expected
nevertheless, that the plan in it's entire
ty will be completed by the end of the
present week.
The principal features of the plan are
the reorganization of the Stockholding
company and the decision not to restore
the Northern Pacific preferred stock
The latter was the one which centered
the recent discussion.
In the new stockholding company by
which the various stock issues are to be
funded, the former controlling interests
will be equally represented. The North
ern Pacific directors will meet next
week to discuss the matter of dividend
