Some queer things happen in this big
town, says the New York correspondence
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Here is
one of them: A plumber occupying a
basement on upper Broadway lighted a
candle in mid-forenooH and set it on a
box in the middle of the room. Now,
what chain of circumstances could you
ina CINE would cause that candle to set
fire to the ceiling, five feet overhead?
This is what happened. The workmen
on the subway. a couple of streets above.
had dug a hole in a big rock and filled
IT with dynamite. The rock was a long
one, and some rods away was directly I'M
derpeath a big water MAN. When the
blast occurred this pipe was broken and
sent a great stream of water up into the
air. The water ran down hill, flooded
the plumbers basement, set the box
afloat and lifted the still lighted candle
higher and higher until 1t touched the
wooden ceiling above and set IT on fire.
The same combination OF circumstances
would not happen again in a million
years.

Philander Simon philandered around
Bertha Karger OF Paterson, n. j., for
two years. calling upon her every Sun
day and eating dinner at her house.
After a while PhiIander went away,
and his love for Bertha grew cold. The
girl did not want to sue him for breach
of promise of marriage, but her mother
decided he must be punished for his
fickleness, so she brought suit against
him for the value of the dinners he
had eaten at her house on Sundays
during the two years of the courtship,
fixing the amount at SIS. Philander
was a little puzzled at first, but he
came around all right by filing cross
bill for the treats that he had given
Bertha while they were sweethearts,
and other items, as follows: II pounds
candy, at 30 cents per pound, 80; 40
treats to ice-cream (Bertha's parD, 50;
100 sodas, etc, 81 so; 100 trolley rides

II is likely that we shall have an ex-
ample of mosquito fighting by the gar
rison of Fort Screven, Tybee Island. A
circular just issued from army head
quarters in Washington instructs the
commandants at all posts where mos
quitoes are prevalent TO begin a vigor-
Gus campaign upon them. The surgeon
of the post makes requisition for am
munition, in the shape OF kerosene oil,
and detachments of soldiers are sent
out from the post TO spread the oil
upon the breeding places of the pests.
II is said that every seacoast station

claim is made that with drainage and

THEY DO NOT LOVE EACH OTHER.

THEY DO NOT LOVE EACH OTHER.
1t is evident that Mr.. John r. Nc
Lean, who controlled the Democratic
convention of Ohio, and Mr.. Bryan DO
not love each other. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, Mr.. McLean's paper in It's
issue of last Sunday, refers to Mr..
Bryan in a number of short editorial
paragraphs. In one of them it says:
Hon. William ]. Bryan is not persplc-
uous in his interviews about the.acton
of the Ohio Democratic convention. lie
SAYS he will discuss the matter in ms
valuable journal, The Commoner. IN
doubtedly the people will be deeply in
terested in Mr.. Bryan's views. and the
Enquirer takes a neighborly delight IN
telling its readers where the views Will
be found. In order, though, to make
the exposition complete, as a matter OF
information, as well as of opinion, he
would do well to print lot OF ex-
tracts from other papers"
Mr.. Bryan in his paper, The Com
moner, after advising Ohio Democrats
to support the ticket nominated by
their recent state convention, turns his
attention to Mr.. Mclean, as reported
candidate for the United States Senate,
and says: Ibid the leaders ignore the
money question (the leaders of the
Ohio convention) in order to please
those who bolted, or does Mr.. Mclean
want to be left free to affiliate with the
Republicans in the event of his election
to the Senator"
Naturally Mr.. Bryan feels a little
sore over the action of the Ohio Demo
cratic convention. He would not have
been surprised if there had been
large minority against reaffirming the
Kansas City platform, but for only
half a dozen delegates out of $50 to
favor reaffirming it is something he
cannot understand. 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that he tells the rank
and file of the Democrats of Ohio to be
sure the next time to send men to the
state convention as delegates who can
be trusted to uphold Democratic prin-
ciples as they are defined by the Dem
ocratic National Convention.
II Is pTODdDleJ HOWeNGA, Lidb NAAS
convention represented pretty fairly
the sentiments of the great majority
of the Democrats of Ohio. If 1t had
not there would have been protests
from all parts of the state almost i'm
mediately after the convention adj
journed. Another convention would
have been called, and the action of the
first condemned. 1t seems that the half
dozen delegates that wanted the Kan
sas City platform reaffirmed and Mr..
Bryan Endorsed have taken steps to
call another convention and make an
other ticket. 1t is pretty safe to say
that these half a dozen delegates are
Populists, and that the convention
they will call will be made up of Pop
ulists. The ticket will not receive the
support of Mr. Bryan, and the move
ment to divide the Ohio Democracy
will never gain sufficient Roadway to
attract attention except in few local
tiles. The ticket that was nominated
in the regular Democratic convention
is the one that will get the votes of
Democrats. The boilers ticket will not
get sufficient support to justify the
public in believing that it was put in
the field in good faith.

King Edward is reported to be draw
ing his blue pencil through some of
the medieval ceremonies which it was
proposed to revive upon the occasion
of his coronation next June. One thing
that he has cut out is the kissing of
the sovereign by the peers. He does
not fancy the idea of being compelled
to submit to the caresses of a lot of
bearded old fellows, and declares he
will not have it. In this connection 1t
is recalled that one of his predecessors,
after having undergone the ordeal of
being kissed by the peers. declared that
he would renounce the kingship before
he would repeat the experience of be-
ing embraced by the archbishops and
the bishops.

A GREAT STRIKE.

1t looks as if there were no inten-
ton on the part of the United Steel
Corporation to comply with the de-
mands of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. If it is to be a trial of strength
the strike may continue for several
months. 1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 of the 200 900 employees of the cor
poration now idle, and If no adjust
ment of the differences between the
corporation and its employees is reach
ed during the next few days 1t is GER
tain that other thousands will be called
out. 1t would not be at all surprising
if a majority of the corporations en-
ployes were called out. If that should
be done, and the strike should last two
or three months, there would be a
great deal of suffering among the
strikers, and the shares of the corpora
ton would fall much lower than they
are now. 1t will be recalled that the
Homestead strike lasted five months.
The funds of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation were exhausted long before the
strike ended and there was a great
amount of suffering among the strik-
ers. There had been no great strike
in the steel industry since the Home
stead affair until the present one be-
gun.
The strikers make one strong point
against the corporation. 1t is that 1t
refuses to let its employees do what
was done when the corporation was
formed. 1t is asserted that all of the
plants now in the corporation did not
want to go into the billion-dollar trust,
and that those which held out were CO.
creed into becoming part of 1t. What
the strikers seek to do is to bring all
of the mills of the corporation into their
union, and the corporation objects.
When the United States Steel Cor
poration, known as the billion dollar
trust was formed we said that when
there were strikes of the employees of
the corporation they would, in all prob
ability, be far greater than strikes had
heretofore been in the steel trade.
When this strike began we called at
tention TO our former statement. The
New York Commercial said ii was nom
sense. Indeed, II made very light of 1t.
It tried to create the impression that
it was the policy of the corporation to
permit no strikes-that the bigger the
| corporation the less the probability OF
a strike would be. We did not under
take to discuss the question as to
whether the probability of a strike
would be increased or decreased by the
size of the corporation. but we still in
sist that our position was right. There
are already more men out in this strike
| than in any previous one in the steel
| trade, and the number promises to be
a great deal larger. The Commercial
seems to be so close to Wall street that
IL cannot see the situation as II actual
! ly is.
OF course. we should like TO see the
strike ended as quickly as possible, but
that doesn't prevent us from seeing
| that If the billion-do trust had not
been formed there would not likely
have been a strike at this time. The
Amalgamated Association would not, II
is pretty safe TO say. have undertaken
20 bring the employees of independent
mills into its organization.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: There
are a good many signs pointing to a
strong effort next winter to influence
the Senate to ratify the reciprocity treaty
negotiated by MIR. Kasson. The admin
istration is evidently working to bring
pressure to bear on Senators from the
right quarter-from protectionist man
ufacturers themselves. For years the
provisions of our law against bounties
on exports of sugar and other things were
not enforced. Now they are enforced
again Germany, France, Russia Italy,
etc, with the result of causing those ma
tions to contrive schemes of retaliation.
The protective nations shut out our pro-
ducts just at the psychologist moment
when our manufacturers are beginning
to dream OF Selling foreign markets"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
CDem) says: THE venerable Judge Tu-
ley of Chicago made the remark at a
meeting OF the Illinois Bar Association
last week that the great problem OF
this day is how to make the rich men
and the corporations pay their Just taxes
IL that Is so, then the Tom johnson Sec
ton OF the Ohio Democratic platform
tackle the great problem OF the day. 1t
ought to be easy OF solution"
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: They are talking OF erecting
permanent statue OF Napolen at the Lou
islana Purchase Exposition. BY why?
Why should Napoleon be thus common
GRATED by Americana? The ono reason as
signed Is that he sold us the territory
whose acquisition the Exposition " in

At Hopkinsville, KY, the other day
a good roads convention was
attended by 1000 persons, fully
one-half of whom were wo-
men. The presence and in
terest of the women was a hopeful
sign. When the women of the South
become interested in good roads, we
shall have them. There is probably
not anything that conduces more to
the tightening of the burden of the far
mer's wife than good roads connecting
her home with the village, the post
office, the church, the school house and
the neighbours houses. Such roads
mean more companionship, better bug
gy-horses, more convenience in shop
ping and better educated children.

A GOOD DEBT SHOWING FOR CUBA.

1t is stated on what appears to be
the very best authority that Cuba will
begin her government with bonded
debt of only $122, 400. This was the
amount of bonds that had been issued
up to the time that the United States
interviewed and began the war with
Spain. 1t is true that bonds may
have been issued since that time, but
it is not generally believed there have.
This statement is based upon a let
ter in possession of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, written by Senior Guerra,
who was treasurer of the Revolutionary
government. In the course of his let
ter, he says:
81, as treasurer, have control of the
bonds, and every one that is sold or
disposed of in any way has to pass
through my hands. There have been
printed $3.50, 800 bonds, in denomina-
tions of 81 ,000 $500, 500 and $50, and
SITE, 900 in denominations of $40 and IS,
making a total of printed bonds alto
gether of So, las, 600. OF this there have
been sold for cash $94, $50 to 1853 differ
ent persons, in amounts ranging from
IS to $4,000, and at different prices.
ranging from 25 per cent. to par. Be
sides those actually sold for cash we
have given in exchange for merchan-
disc $27, $40, making a total of bonds
disposed of 1922, 400. The balance of
bonds printed-$3. 02S, 200-are to-day all
in my possession.
This is a very much better showing
than It was thought the Cubans could
make. There have been reports that
bonds were, scattered broadcast over
this country and Cuba, that they were
sold for whatever they would bring,
and that when they could not be sold
for cash they were exchanged for mer-
chandise and services of various kinds.
1t is gratifying to know that such was
not the case. The thrifty management
of the bond business justifies the con-
clusion that the Cubans will be much
more careful of the financial affairs of
their government when they get IL es-
tablished than 1t has generally been be-
lieved they would. One OF the reasons
why the Plat amendment was insist
ed upon so strenuously was, that II
was feared that IL the Cubans were
allowed a free hand in financial mat
ters they would swamp their new gov
eminent with debt. The care in which
they have husbanded the bonds issued
by authority OF the Revolutionary gov
eminent seems TO indicate that an in
| Justice was done them. Still the Plat
