A NEW PARTY MOVEMENT.

| Our dispatches yesterday contained an
account of movement to start a new
political party. The leaders of the move
ment appear to be Populists of the Mid
dle-of-the- Road variety, Silver Republi-
cans and those who believe in public own
crship of telegraph, telephone lines and
the railroads. 1t is asserted that they had
a conference with Mr.. Bryan, at his home
in Lincoln, before they met at Kansas
City. They claim that Mr.. Bryan sympa-
thizes with this new party movement and
may be the new party's candiatde for
President in 1904.
1t is very doubtful If MIR. Bryan has
committed himself in any way to the
movement. He is not the sort of man
to withhold from the public what his
opinions are on any public question or
movement. If he were in sympathy with
this new party movement he would be
the first to announce the fact. He would
not permit himself to be put in the po-
sition Of favoring something of which he
was not willing to speak frankly and
openly.
say that Mr.. Bryan will not be associated
with this new movement. but we venture
to predict that he will not. 1t may be
true that he is in sympathy with some
OF the objects it has in view, but he be-
lieves that all reforms that are demanded
at this time through political parties can
be obtained through the Democratic par
ty. 1t is certain that he had everything
put in the last Democratic national plat
form that he wanted there, and he has no
good reason for thinking that that plat
form will be materially changed, except
in respect to silver, by the next Demo-
cratic national convention.
OF course no one can say with any de-
gree of certainty what the new party
will amount to, but it is safe prediction
that it will not cut much of a figure in
the election of 1904. Mr.. Bryan is not
likely to make the mistake of cutting
loose from the great Democratic party
to cast his political fortunes with a few
dissatisfied Populists and handful OF Sir
YER Republicans

Cashiers mistakes.

The average bookkeeper does not like
to be told that he has made mistake in
counting out cash." said one of the craft
according to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, land 1 have known of in
stances where quick resentment follow
ed such an act. / recall one instance
where the resentment was not only I'M
rea sonable, but it might have been I'M
profitable in a small way under differ
emit circumstances. l had occasion to
go to the bank after some money, and
the paying teller counted me out wad
of money / kept up with the count
pretty well, but, on counting the money
again after reaching the office, found
that the teller had made a mistake of
800. 1 went back TO the bank to inform
him of the fact and to straighten the
matter out"
=" Too late now he replied; you ought
to have counted your money in the bank
/ guess you lost ii on the way 10 the
office and kept on about his business.
II walked out of the bank. Just as l
was closing my office for the evening l
noticed a gentleman hanging around the
front door. Say, old man. he said as
1 walked out to the door, I'm 500 shy at
the bank
% Short in your accounts. eh? I re-
piled, indfferently.
He was very much worried over the
matter. and 1 knew exactly how he felt
about 1t. After playing with him for
awhile, walked back into the office,
got the 800. and gave it to him, and he
was the happest fellow / ever saw for
a few seconds"

COSTLY MURDER TRIALS.

The failure of the state to secure
a verdict against DR.. Kennedy, the
dentist accused of numbering Dolly
Reynolds in New York, calls at
tention TO the constantly increas-
ing cost of murder trials in that
city, where the Kennedy trial took place,
and also in other parts of the country.
The whole country is familiar with the
Kennedy case because the defendant has
GseT tried three times, and the newspa-
pers paid a great deal of attention 10
each trial. In the first trial Kennedy was
convicted. The higher court, however,
gave him a new trial In the trials which
followed there was a mlstrial in each in
stance. 1t is doubtful If the case will be
tried again, the district attorney being
pretty well satisfied that a conviction
cannot be obtained. In the last trial the
prosecuting attorney admitted that the
theory on which the state had proceeded
in the first and second trials was erro-
neous.
Thus far the case has cost the county
of New York 100000 That IS a very
large amount of money to spend in trying
10 secure the conviction of one man. II
is not to be wondered at that the tax
payers are growing at the cost of courts
in New York county II is said that four
murder cases in the last six years have
cost that county more than 81, 10000. The
most costly of these cases is that of
Molineux. 1t has just been argued before
the Supreme Court of the state on an APP
plication for new trial If the applica-
ton should be granted the chances are
that it will cost the state great deal
more than half a million of dollars before
il is finally settled.
Lawyers are constantly finding new
ways for piling up costs in murder cases.
In the Molineaux trial there were experts
in handwriting, and experts in chemistry,
and other expensive witnesses called by
both the prosecution and the defense. And
as far as the public could see these ex-
perts threw no light on the issue that was
presented to the jury, because the tes-
timony of the experts for the state was
contradicted by the testimony of the ex-
perts for the defense. With all Of the
new methods for getting at the facts 1t
is doubtful II there is any more certainty
in reaching the truth in criminal trials
now than when simpler and less expen-
sive methods were employed.

The Manufacturers Club OF Philadel-
phia has adopted strong resolutions
against a revision of the tariff That
club. as is pretty generally known, is
made up of the manufacturers. They say
that any attempt to revise the tariff is
likely to bring about such a disturbance
| in business that hard times will take the
place of the present prosperity.
! One thing they say in their resolutions
is decidedly interesting. 1t is that the
present tariff acts automatically; that is,
that tariff schedules which may seem
! to be excessive or unnecessary become in
| operative when the necessity for protec-
ton ceases"
What these manufacturers want is the
power to charge more for their products
in the home market than they get for
them in foreign markets. The trusts, for
instance compel home consumers to pay
a much larger price for their products
than they demand for them from foreign
consumers. The prices for nearly all kinds
of steel products are considerably
higher in this country than in other coun-
tries where the billion dollar steel trust
finds customers. If it were not for the
tariff on steel rails 1t would not be posi-
Bile for the steel-rail makers to combine
and hold rails at price much above that
which they could be laid down in this
country from the English mills.
If manufacturers will agree to sell to
home consumers as cheaply as they sell
to foreign consumers there will be no
trouble over the question of revising the
tariff. The revision will be accomplished
so quietly that there will be no disturb
ance of business
1t is true, of course, that business Is adj
justed to the present schedules, and the
present schedules are satisfactory to
manufacturers, but what about consum-
ers? Must they remain quiet and go on
paying prices that are unjust? The man.
ufacturers see only their own side OF
the case. If they will take the trouble to
look at the other side they may be able
to see some reason for the present agita-
ton in behalf of tariff revision.
The Manufacturers Club says that If
we want to let down the tariff bars so
have chance at their trade, we should
resort to reciprocity treaties. We have
heard a good deal about reaties of this
kind within the past six months. 1t will
be recalled that Mr.. Kasson, who was en-
ployed to negotiate reciprocity treaties,
resigned the place he held under the state
department because the Senate refusd to
ratify any of the treaties which he nego-
tiated. 1t seems that about a dozen of
these treaties were pending in the Sen
ate when the last Congress expired by
Limitation.
1t seems therefore that reciprocity trea-
ties are not in favor with the Republican
party, and not, it is to be presumed, with
manufacturers, but they are referred to
as being very good things when it is de-
sired to head off a tariff revision move
ment. 1t will take something more than
a set of resolutions by the Manufacturers
Club of Philadelphia to check the move
ment to get rid of large part of the
protective principle in the present tariff

The Kerosene preventive Of mosquitoes
might be tried by individuals at very lit
tie expense, probably with satisfactory
results. 1t is claimed that the little
pest seldom goes very far from dts breed
ing place, and never more than a few
hundred yards. Wherever the mosquito
is found in quantities. therefore, it is quite
sure that there is a breeding place not far
away pool, rain barrel, sink or something
of the sort According to the Winchester,
Va, experiments, only a little kerosene
poured on the water of these breeding
places rs necessary to put a stop to mos
quito propagation. A pint of the oil can
be had for a nickel, and pint is enough
for pool Of considerable size, or several
rain barrels. To put the oil on three or
four times in season, just often enough
to keep the oil scum on the water, is all
that needs to be done. The cost, there
fore, is small I'm comparison TO the bene-
fits that may accrue. It IL worth try
ing at all events.

Car Porter,s auiet way.

m going to tell you something that
nine out of ten men who travel do not
know" said sleeping car porter on a
train coming into Chicago the other day,
according 10 the Chicago Tribune. I'm
going to tell you how 1 woke up the
passengers this morning and how every
porter in the country wakes up the peo-
pie on his car half an hour before they
get to the station they want to get off
at. Half an hour? How did we come to
settle on that as the time people need to
dress? Just by listening to complaints
from passengers who were called too late
and from the rest who were called too
early. Half an hour is just about the
right time to allow, but it took a long
time 90 find that out
1T would take a passenger longer to
find out how we wake him in the morn
ing. Did you ever notice that few peo-
pie know just what it is that wakes them
up? OF course, if they have an alarm
clock, it's different, but if they do not
know what the alarm is going to be they
can't ever tell. When people say Such
and such a thing woke me up it's like
ly they are wrong. They set ID down to
the noise they first recognize, but that
isn't always the noise that brings them
back from sleep People aren't fully con-
scious as soon as they open their eyes,
are they? OF course not.
But the way We wake them up? It
isn't by calling to them. That is only
done when they are unusually sound
sleepers and when our regular way fails.
1t isn't by putting our hands between
the curtains and tapping them. We'd get
tired If we did that 1t isn't by dropping
shoes outside their berhs. That used to
be the way, but some people got so used
to the noise of the shoes that they Gould
sleep through the dropping of a carload.
It's Just by walking past the berth fast
and brushing against the curtains. The
noise doesn't wake them the first time;
but we keep going through the car and
doing it till we hear them stirring. That 9
the way we wake them up. OF course
you didn't know it before I'll bet you're
the only man in this sleeper now who
knows it, unless some porter has told
someone else. And it's an easy way, you
know, dead easy-just like everything
else is easy after you know the way.

How the Little Man scored.

Il saw party of politicians from out
in the state sitting in front of a hotel to-
day." said man about town, according
to the Louisville Courier-Journal, land
whenever see collection of such folks
1 always smell future fight or think of
past ones
Now, 1 have been mixed up in some
reasonably large political scraps but,
curious to say, when saw this out of
town crowd of politicians the fight grow
ing out Of politics that was first recalled
to my mind was not struggle between
the big men for party control but the
most peculiar blow of the fist given as a
consequence of a political argument, 1
ever saw.
Il was on a political errand in the state
once, and reached a little hamlet which
had small alleged hotel, where had to
spend the night.
After supper all of US, sojourners and
home folk, congregated in the office,
where there were only two or three chairs.
Politics became quickly the subject of
conversation, and finally it resolved itself
into an argument between a man about
five foot two and six-footer, who were
close neighbors.
The six-footer at last made a biting
personal remark to the little man. The
five-footer made no response and walked
away. The political argument quoted
down, but in a short while the five-footer
returned with chair, and, placing it
near the six-footer, who was standing,
mounted it. and, without saying a word,
delivered a very effective blow on the
tall fellows face. The little man fell to
the floor from the impetus of his own
blow, but the row was stopped.
Why didn't you hit him as soon as
he insulted you? l asked.
"I would have had to nit him below
the belt. 1 couldn't reach his face, and
that is where 1 wanted to leave my
mark"
