Anglers the Waiter.

DO have any very odd people to
wait on?" said the waiter, according to
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
We'll, rather, and it isn't the cranks
and particular sort of people who give
the most trouble. They know what they
want and you can find out and give
them good service. It's the fresh guys
that get us riled. One fellow who
comes in here regular and isn't bad on
tips either gets me crazy. Every night
when it's time for his dessert he says
Waiter, have you any mince pie?
Yes, sir I answers.
Is it good?'
Excellent, sir
Then bring me a portion of Ca
membert cheese he says.
And he does this night after night.
Sometimes he takes table d'hote din
ner, and then when I asks him If he
wants roast chicken or stuffed veal he
says, Yes, please He generally gets
veal. thought 1 had him once, but 1
didn't. He started his mince pie deal,
and says, Yes, sir, the Camembert is
very good and what does he do but
say, Then, I'd like a piece of canta-
loupe.'
Still there's always a quarter in it
for me-"

NOT A DEMOCRATIC PAPER.

Mr.. Bryan has rendered the public
a service by stating in the columns of
his paper. The Commoner, that the
Chicago Chronicle is not Democratic
paper. 1t is being quoted as
such quite often. Some things have
appeared in its columns recently, how
ever, that were so much like Repub-
licanism of the EXTREMIST kind that
those who thought it a Democratic, or
even an independent, paper must have
had their faith shaken.
For instance. a day or two ago, in
commenting on the Presidents proba-
BILE policy in regard TO the South, II
said that it was the understanding that
the Mckinley policy was to be contin-
ued, and that that policy was only
bargain by which Southern Demo-
cratic members of Congress were to
control the patronage of the South on
condition that they would vote for
Republican measures in Congress. In
the course of its article, it said that
Southern Democrats, so far as any one
could remember. never had an over
ency.
OF course the Chronicle knows that
Southern Democrats have as much
political honor and consistency as
those of any other section of the coun-
try, If not more. Because that here
and there a Southern Democrat has
accepted favors and given support to
Republican measures it doesn't follow
that Southern Democrats generally are
ready to sacrifice party principles for
administration favors. The Chronicle
saw an opening to say something dis
agreeable about Southern Democrats,
and it awaited itself of the opportunity.
According TO Mr.. Bryan. the Chron-
icle said editorially last March: THE
Chronicle is not a Democratic organ,
it is an independent newspaper, neith-
err owning nor admitting allegiance to
any political organization. 1t is prob
ably aiming to get into the Republican
ranks along with the trusts. A posi-
ton like that is more profitable than
one with the Democracy.

A BOOST FOR RECIPROCITY.

The policy Of reciprocity for obtain
ing a wider market for the surplus of
our products seems to be quite gener-
ally approved. The Republicans of
New Jersey approved 1t in their plat
form a dew yays ago and the Massa-
chusetts Democrats, in their platform
adopted on Thursday last, say: 1--WE
favor freer trade by means of genuine
reciprocity or otherwise. We heartily
endorse the broad craftsmanship of
! President McKinley's speech at Buff
falo."
The Democratic leaders have seen for
long time the necessity for freer
trade and the Republican leaders are
beginning to see it. Democrats, appreci-
ating the difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning freer trade by means of tariff
reduction as long as the Republican
party remains in power, are willing to
accept such freer trade as can be OBJ
tanned through reciprocity. President
Roosevelt has announced his purpose to
do what he can to further the policy
of reciprocity, and 1t is probable that
he will take steps at an early day to
revive the reciprocity treaties which
were negotiated during the administra-
ton of President Mckinley.
There is no assurance, however, that
he will meet with any better success
in getting the Senate to ratify such
treaties than President Mckinley did.
From the expression of the Democratic
State Convention of Massachusetts it
is reasonable to infer that Democratic
senators are willing to assist in ratify-
ing reciprocity treaties, but how about
the Republican senator's? They are, of
course, convinced thatssomething ought
to be done to secure wider markets for
the surplus of American products, but
being committed to the policy of protec-
ton they hesitate to withdraw protec-
ton from any product which now has
the benefit of it. In fact, they are
afraid that If they come out squarely
for reciprocity they will drive a large
percentage of Republicans away from
the Republican party. Reciprocity is
free trade, between the countries which
Grated in the treaties.
Republicans talk favorably of recip-
rocity but the probability that Repub-
lican senators will vote to ratify reci-
procity treaties is very remote. A re-
ciprocity treaty cannot be framed that
will not hit protected articles. There
fore protected interests are united
against reciprocity. just as they are
combined against tariff for revenue.
The time must come, however. and,
that, too, very soon, when something
will have to be done to secure a wider
market for our surplus products. Other
wise the domestic market and foreign
markets open to us will become glutted,
and we shall have closed minis, idle
workmen and hard times.

Mary" he cried, in desperation, ac-
cording to the New Yorker, Il shall
wait no longer. Either you must con-
sent to become my wife or end this
farce. Your repeated delays are killing
me-"
Every well, Hubert" she answered,
calmly; 'if you take that ground there
is but one alternative for me-" She
drew off the diamond ring which
sparkled on her finger and handed it to
him.
He took 1t sadly and bitterly exclaim-
ed: "Oh, false, cruel girl, to thus care
lessly trample upon a heart whose
every throb is for you alonel For this
bauble / have no further use. Let 1t
perish, as I hope may also the love of
which it was the emblem" His hand
was raised to throw the ring into the
CRATE, but she grasped it quickly.

I would like you to have the wedding
ring made just a trife smaller than
this"

One of wellington's Officers.

On good authority soldiers like best
to be differed by gentlemen, but they
have their choice of the type, says the
Youths Companion. OF the right kind
was Gen. Crawford, the leader of the
Light Division.
An incident in his career during one
OF the Wellington wars shows him to
nave been rich in that justice which
commands respect from equals and
loyalty from interiors; in a word, he
Kept discipline without regard to rank.
His division was crossing a ford on
one of the Spanish marches, and an
officer, to keep his breeches dry, rode
through on a soldiers back. Craw-
ford observed the thing with disgust.
and in minute was splashing through
the water after them both.
Put him down, sir!" he shouted
Put him down! desire you to put
that officer down instantly"
The soldier dropped his burden and
went on.
Return back, sir" Crawford said to
the officer, land go through the water
like the others. I will not allow my
officers to ride upon the mems backs
through the rivers: all must take their
share alike here"

ELECTRICITY THE MOTIVE POWER

1t is not improbable that within the
net ten years the entire system of the
Great Northern Railway, one of the
try, will be operated by means of cleo
tricity. 1t has been arranged to OPP
crate one section Of it,. a section of
sixtysix miles of the Cascade divis-
ion, by that means in the very near
future.
In that section there is a tunnel
two miles and a half in length. The
part of the road in which this tunnel
is located is the most difficult of the
entire system, owing to the steep
grades. There are also great objections
to using steam locomotives in the tun-
mel on account of their smoke, it be-
ing practically impossible to get the
smoke out of the tunnel. So, expert
ments were begun with electricity.
Water power for the making of cleo
tricity is obtainable all along this part
of the line, and the estimates which
have been made show that electricity
as a motive power will be very much
cheaper than steam.
AS already stated, the experiment
will be made on section of sixty six
miles of the road-the section between
Leavenworth on the east side of the
mountains to Skykomish on the west
side. If the experiment should be sue
cessful one hundred and forty-on
miles of the road will be equipped with
electricity-from Everett on one side
of the mountains to Wenatchee on the
other side. When that is done it will
be only question of time and money
when the entire system will be operat-
ed by means of electricity.
1t looks, therefore, as if this great
Western railway would be the first to
abandon steam as a motive power and
adopt electricity, and it is a safe pre-
diction that the example would be
quickly followed by some of the other
great railway systems.

The tabulation of the population Of
the United States by race. sex and ma
tivity has been completed at the CEN
sus Office. 1t is understood that the
data show the white race to be in
creasing more rapidly than the colored
race. The census of 1880 caused some
alarm by showing a larger increase in
the colored population than the white.
At that time. according to the census
figures, the percentage of colored per-
sons in the country had grown to be
1918. The census of 1900. however,
shows IL to be not over 11.5s per cent,
which is a decrease of about 25 per
cent. since the enumeration of 1890 In
only four OF the states is the proper
ton of negroes greater than II was in
1850. These states are Alabama. Ar
kansas. Mississippi and Florida. In
many Northern states the negro pop
ulation has relatively increased. but
IL is so small a part Of the total that
IL does not materially affect the gem

The Travelling Man.
From the New York S.,

Consider now the Travelling Man,
That gay and festive blade
Who goeth up and down the land,
In sporty garb arrayed,
Who playeth havoc with the hearts
OF many country bellies,
And stoppeth like the prince he is
At all the best hotels.
Now mark him as he sits him down
Outside the tavern door
And lighteth up his good cigar
Which cost ten cents or more.
And with his comrades gathered round
He swappeth sundry lies,
Or at the village maidens fair
Doth make the goo-goo eyes.
And presently he to the bar
With others doth repair
And many highballs will he take
To drive away dull care.
Now would not such life of ease
Appeal to any one?
And would we all were travelling men
Nay, wait a bit, my son.
For in the morn ere dawn hath come
From bed ariseth he,
And dresseth in a chilly room
To catch the five-ought three.
AS breakfast is not ready yet
He getteth on the train
And rideth down to Green's Cross
Roads,
Perhaps an hour or twain.
And there before the tavern stove
He warmeth up his legs,
And presently he sits him down
To hash or ham and eggs.
And when to work he goeth forth
He finds to his amaze
His customer hath gone to town,
To be there several days.
He rusheth back unto the inn
To make his getaway.
And there with sinking heart he hears
The landlord calmly say:
"Was you a-going East. my friend?
Well, you are left all right.
There amt no other train that way
Till 9:1S tonight"
So when at last the weary day
Hath dragged it's leaden round.
Again the happy travelling man
Is at the station found.
And to him comes the ticket man
And cheerfully doth state:
Jest make yourself at home, old man,
Your trains three hours late"
When on the morrow he awakes
Again at work to start,
He gets a letter from his house
Which cheereth up his heart
1--WE note that your expense account
Is running far too high.
We must have this curtailed at once
Or know the reason why"
Now II his overcoat's at home
The mercury doth drop,
But If he's clad in winter clothes
II hovers near the top.
And all the incest days come when
He's travelling on trains,
But, II he has ten miles 10 drive
1t either SHOWS or rains.
At length me weary trip Is done
And he is home once more,
He sees his wife an hour o. so
Then drops down to "the store"
And pleasant words like these he hears:
What, Jimmie, home so soon?
Well. get your samples up IN shape
To start tomorrow noon.'
-
All. envy not the Travelling Man,
For though his job seems gay.
Despite his efforts, now and then
Some work will come his way.
And when to you IL seems his Let
Is one Of JOY alone,
Remember that the Drummer has
Some troubles of his own.

II still live" were Daniel websters
last words. Schoolboys and others
have been taught that this expiring ut
terance was intended to convey the idea
that Webster was sure that, though his
body might perish. he would still live
in the hearts Of his countrymen. But
along comes an iconoclast who would
have us believe that nothing was fur
ther from Websters mind; that, as a
matter of fact, the remark was made
by way of a request for a swallow of
brandy. The doctor in attendance had
given the nurse this instruction: "Give
him tablespoonful of brandy, and IL
at IL o'clock he still lives. give him
another tablespoonful" The states
man. 1t is alleged, was very fond Of
brandy When II O'Clock came and the

THE CUP REMAINS.

1t was a close shave by which we
kept the cup. A little more, and Upton
would have lifted it, sure enough. In
the first race Columbia won by only
minute and % seconds; in the second
race her margin was little better. be-
ing 8 minutes and 35 seconds; but in
the third it was almost heart-breaking,
being Al secondhand all of these cal
culating the time allowance of 40 sec
onds which Shamrock had to concede.
There never was such a contest before
in the history of the famous trophy, and
1t will no doubt stand for a long time
as the record of close. exciting finishes.
Was it a victory of seamanship, or Of
yachts? It seems to be pretty generally
ut-maneuvered his British rival in
each of the several heats of the race
If that is true, it is necessary
to admit that the British have come
pretty near to us in yacht building
notwithstanding they arrived at that
degree of excellence two years later
than we did. If there were only some
way, now, to test the respective merits
of the crews-by exchanging craft. for
instance-it would be most interesting
and instructive. At all events, the cup
is safe. 1t has been once more success
fully defended, by an American vessel
with a native crew. Sir Thomas Upton
will have the sympathy of the country
at large. He made a brilliant and
sportsmanlike contest, and lost like the
thoroughbred" that he is He will have
the best wishes of all Americans, who
hoped to see him come within an ace"
Of winning without actually doing it.

If the Washington correspondents
are well informed. Pension Commits
sioner II. Clay Evans is just as firmly
fixed in his position as If President
Mckinley were alive. President Roose-
welt is the first man to sit in the chief
executive chair since the war between
the states who was not veteran of
that war, and It is thus harder for
him TO turn a deaf ear 20 the clamor
OF the G. A. r. for Commissioner Ev-
ans removal than IT would otherwise
be. But the understanding is that he
regards Mr. Evans and his pension pol
icy as part Of the policy OF McKn-
ley which he has promised 10 support.
and Will therefore retain Mr.. Evans in
the pension Office.

Among the matters carried over from
the Mckinley administration to the
Roosevelt administration was an ex-
PLANTATION of the summary dismissal of
Col. Russell B. Harrison from the army
before the expiration of the period of
his enlistment. Col Harrison called
on President Roosevelt a day or two
ago, and invited his attention to the
matter. When Col. Harrison was dis
charged it was stated that there was
no further use for his services. But
within a week somebody else had been
appointed to fill the vacancy. Col.
Harrison feels that he was badly used
by the War Department, and he wants
to know why. If pertinacity of pur-
pose will avail anything, Col. Harrison
will know why he was discharged be-
fore he drops the inquiry.

RATHER CARELESS ABOUT FACTS

1t is not time yet to comment upon
the testimony that is being given be-
fore the Schley court of inquiry. 1t
would not be fair to either Admiral
Schley, Admiral Sampson or the de-
partment of the navy to do so. Ad-
miral Schley's side of the case has not
been heard yet. and the department Of
the navy hasn't put in all of its tes-
timony. But there are certain things
which have cropped out since the in
quiry began that are legitimate sub
jects of comment. One of them is the
apparently careless manner in which
some of the naval officers deal with
facts.
No doubt those who have followed
the testimony were somewhat surprised
when one of the naval officers spoke of
the chart showing the position of the
ships at the battle of Santiago as
worthless, although he was one of the
seven officers who prepared 1t. The
chart it seems shows that in the fa-
nous loop the Brooklyn does not APP
proach nearer than 400 or 500 yards to
she approached within 100 or $50 yards.
A newspaper correspondent who was on
the Texas during the battle testified
that Captain Philip asked him not to
mention in his paper the peril in which
the Texas had been placed by the
Brooklyn at the time she made her IA
nous loop. saying, make it nice for
everybody" That showed that Captain
Philips heart was in the right place,
but indicated that he was not much
concerned about the truth of history.
And ii is somewhat remarkable that
naval officers run across each other so
often on matters in which there ought
to be substantial agreement. OF course
there is no intention to vary from the
truth, but it does seem that there is
not as much regard for accuracy in the
stating of facts as there ought to be
in a branch of the service which
prides itself upon it's close adherence to
truth in all matters.
