MAYoR.-The Duke OF Marlborough
mas accepted the nomination to the
May orslty OF Westminster. and bis &C.
ton is pleasing to the Duchess, who
has long wished political perferment
for her husband.
To accept popular Office like that Of
Mayor is hardly In keeping with the
ambitions of the Duke, whose name
has been mentioned 10 connection with
90 important post as that of the Lor
Lieutensnoy OF Ireland. II is poss BILE
that the Duke has acted on the advice
OF experienced friends and will start in
at the bottom of the political ladder.
The Duchess, who was formerly
Consuelo Vanderbilt, will be the first
American woman to become q Lady
Mayoress, distinction that is highly
prizsd, especially among the wives OF
the lesser knights. The duties Of their
nositioDs will be welcome change
from the monotony OF social duties
which the Duke and Dochess share
with the members CT the nobility. The
prediction Ia made that they will be
the most popular Of municipal couples.

what cough preparation could recon-
mend. l said to her that / could freely
recommend Cnsmbsrlsin's Cough Rem
edy and that she could take bottle Of
the remedy and after giving 1t fair
trial II she did not fad it worth the

buy bottle OF Chamberlsin's Cough

REPUBLICAN STALWARTS.
Sienn-Cut and Progressive State
ment of Principles by the Iowa
Convention,

The work of the Iowa state con-
vention must be viewed with salts
faction by loyal and thinking repub-
Hcans all over the nation. 1t nom
mated strong and clean men for the
various state offices. It's platform is
a clear-cut, progressive statement of
republican principles.
The convention justly congratulated
congress upon its currency legisla-
tion and upon it's dealings with Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. "The
policy of this government toward the
islands," it said, "has followed inev-
itably upon our expulsion of the au-
thority of Spain. 1t has been die
tated by the conditions present, has
been consistent with the spirit of the
constitutions, and the paramount con-
sideration has been to secure the
lasting welfare of these peoples
whose fortunes and destinies have
become in a large degree dependent
upon u.s."
The convention indorsed the policy
of protection as the foundation of
our industrial and financial independ-
ence, but it also recognized that that
policy is a practical one whose APP
plications must change with circum-
stances, and indorsed "the policy of
reciprocity as the natural compile
ment of protection, and urge its de-
velopment as necessary to the real
ization of our highest commercial
possibilities"
In its declarations concerning So
called trusts" the convention recog-
nized them as useful instruments for
the nations industrial advancement,
but asserted "the right residing in
the people to enforce such regula-
tions as will protect the individual
and society from abuse of the power
which great combinations of capital
WELD" No thinking observer of in
dustrial progress could ask for more.
None interested in combinations can
find the Iowa attitude unfair or op-
pressive.
The Iowa convention has spoken
clearly, fairly and worthily of a
great republican state. While the
contest for the various nominations
was keen, it was without rancor.
The Iowa republicans have preserved
their old commendable habit of do
ing all their fighting before the NOM
nations. United and harmonious, ably
led, advocating principles that appeal
to every loyal and fair-minded Amer
lean, the republican party in Iowa
enters upon the campaign with the
best ospects.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

POTTER AND HARRIS.
state Ticket Nominated by PennsyI-
vanIa Republicans.

Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 22.-The re-
publican state convention, which met
here Wednesday and nominated
Judge William p. Potter, of Pitts
burg, for supreme court judge and
State Representative Frank c. Harris.
of Clearfeld, for state treasurer, was
a most unusual gathering. The ticket
was nominated by reclamation. Sen
ators Quay and Penrose and other
party leaders were absent. There
was an unusually small attendance of
active party worksrs and a large ma
jority of the delegates never attend
ed a state convention before.
Judge Potter was formerly Gov.
Stones law partner and was appoint
ed to the supreme bench last year to
succeed the late Judge Green. Mr..
Harris is serving his third term in the
house of representatives, and has al
ways been follower of Senators
Quay and Penrose. The platform on
which they were nom lated endorses
the national and state administra-
tions and the official acts of Pennsyl-
vania's senator's, commends the leg
islature, comedies the right of labor
and capital to organize and denoun-
ces "yellow iournalism,"

II Shows that the Death Rate In This
Country Is Decreasing and that the
Average DuratIoa OF Life Is Increas-
ing.
Washington, Aug. 22.-The census
bureau yesterday announced the NOR
tality statistics for the year 1900. w.
A. King, chief of the vital statistics
division, says: "The most important
feature of the results presented is
found in the decrease in the general
death rate of nearly 10 per cent, and
the decrease in the rates from the
particular diseases to which the gen.
eral decrease is due.
"The effect of the advances made in
medical science and sanitation and in
the preventive and restrictive meas
ures enforced by the health authori-
ties is still more strikingly shown in
the comparative rate for the regis
tration cities of the country. In
1890 the death rate in 271 registration
cities of 5000 or more population was
81 per 1000; in 1900 the rate was 1876
per 1000 in 341 cities of 5000 popula-
ton and upward, reduction of "a
per 1000. The gross population of
these cities was 14,95S,254 in 1890, and
21,560,631 in 1900.
'The entire significance of these
figures can be properly weighed only
when the rates for the individual
cities are considered in connection
with known conditions of local i'm
provement in sanitation and health
regulations.
The average age at death in 1890
was 81 pears; in 1900 it was 35.2
years.
'The total number of deaths re-
ported in 1900 was 1,039,O94; in 1890
it was SALAD. The increase was
therefore 1885, or 23.5 per cent AS
the percentage of increase in the
population was but 20.7, this indicates
n more complete return of deaths
than in 1890
"The record of deaths upon which
these statistics are based was OBJ
tained from two different sources,
namely, the return by the enumera-
tors of deaths reported to them at
the decennial enumeration. and the
registration record of deaths record
ed under local laws.
Portland, Ore, with a death rate
of 9.5 per thousand shows the lowest
mortality among the cities, and
Shreveport, La, with 1850 is the
highest.
In the registration area the Is prin-
cipal causes of death with the rate
per 100000 was as follows:
Pneumonia 1919, consumption 1905,
heart disease 134.0, diarrheal diseases
s5.1, kidney diseases 1871, apoplexy
66.6 cancer 60, old age 54, bronchitis
4S.3, cholera infantum AIS, debility
45.5. inflammation of brain and men
ingitis 41.s, diphtheria 34.4, typhoid
fever 1913 and premature birth 1877.
Deaths from all the principal diseases
show decrease since 1890, the most
notable being in consumption, which
decreased $40 per 100000

BRYAN'S "PERHAPS."

Note.-"It may be observed" said a
prominent politician. that Mr.. Bryan
prefaces all his political utterances with
his now famous perhaps
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through the western country passed
A man who bore, through party Ice,
A banner with the strange device:
Perhaps"
His brow was sad; his hair, beneath
A somewhat damaged laurel wreath,
Was mussed; but like a clarion rung
The accents of thaS ireless tongue:
Perhaps"
In great Ohio's broad expanse
He saw them try to choke his chance;
They turned his picture TO the wall;
He smiled and musmured: That's no gall
Perhaps
"Try not to rum" the rebels yell;
"Imperialism has gone to -,
And capital has come to stay"
He answered, in the same old way:
Perhaps"
"Oh, stay" a remnant said, "and rest
Your weary head upon this breast"
A tear stood in his blackened eye,
AS soft he answered with a sigh:
Perhaps"
"Beware free silvers withered branch;
Where is your hard times avalanche?
Say, won't you ever learn a thing?"
The rebels hear him murmuring:
Perhaps"
Around above, below, he sees
The icy portents of a freeze;
He feels the foe upon his track,
But just the same he answers back:
Perhaps"
From east and west, from south and north,
Come anxious rebels trooping forth.
"We'll down the Matchless Leader" cry
The hungry hordes. He makes reply:
Perhaps"
We'll smite him on the thigh and hip,
We want change of leadership;
Chicago platforms are n. g.,
Wen have new oLe." And says he:
Perhaps"
A traveller, by little mound
Half buried in the snow was found,
Still grasping, midst the snow and ice,
A banner with the strange device:
Perhaps"
There in the twilight, cold and gray,
Ihey stood about him as he lay.
THANK God,' the rebels cry; hes dead"
Then, turning in the snow, he said:
Perhaps"

Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 22.-Frank
Bender, an engineer on the Illinois
Central railroad, was impaled here
yesterday on flying timber when
the cab of the engine failed to clear a
box car on the side track. A frag-
ment OF the moulding of the box car
four feet long and two inches in di-
ameter, jagged with nails, was driv-
en- through the top of the cab and
through the left breast of the engi-
neer just above the heart. Fully two
feet of the splinter stood out behind
his back. The splinter has been ex-
tracted and there is possibility of
his recovery.
