NECESSITY OF TARIFF REFORM,
Bryan is Glad to SEE That the Republicans of
Iowa Omit It.
(Bv the Associated Press. J


New Haven, Conn.,, July 31.-For the
third time within a week, William j.
Bryan was today a visitor in New
Haven He is a guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philo S. Bennett, at the Ansantawae
Club, Saving Rock. He will leave to-
morrow for New York, going later to
Maryland to address chatauqua as
sembly at Mountain Lake Park, on Sat
urday.
In an interview Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am glad to see that the Republic
Heans of Iowa admitted yesterday the
necessity of tariff reform, for while it will
strengthen the Republican party in that
State for the coming campaign, it will
ultimately weaken it, for the Republic
cans cannot permit any reform in the
tariff without endangering their whole
SyStem."

Sacred Chinese Coin,

One of the coins of the Chinese En. perez Khanghi is very much sought after by the Chinese who use it in mak- ing rings for the finger. It is slightly different from the other cash issued under the same emperor in the form of one of the characters that indicate the regnal period.

The tradition is that while the emper- or was intimately associated with Eu- ropean missionaries he became i1nbued with a feeling of contempt for Buddhism, and illustrated this phase of his faith by having set of IS brass Lo-han images melted down and cast into cash. This brass is said to con tain considerable portion of gold; hence the demand for the cash

Speaking of the disagreements and jealousies that exist on board naval vessels, a writer in the Engineering Magazine says that ''it has for years been the ambition of British naval off, cers of the gunnery and torpedo sec tions to get rid of the expert supervis- ion of the engineer as far as guns and torpedoes and their accessories were concerned, and to confine the chief en- gineer to the four walls if I may so term them-of the engine room. For years the engineer has had to hold his office simply at the bias of the captain of the ship Where that bias fell to the gunnery or torpedo side of the fence, everything which could be filched from him without too fragrant disregard of the regulations was filched.

It must be always be borne in mind that money is to be measured by its purchasing power, says one of our eX- changes. Thanks to the extortions of the trusts a dollar to-day will not pro- cure the same amount of food and oth- CT things used by family which it would have purchased in 1896. In the last six years, according to the of ficial figures given out at Washington, wages have increased from 10, to ID per cent, while commodities have ad- vanced from 20 to B per cent. These figures prove that in 1896 a given amount of wages would have procured more for a working man than it would in 1902. The beef trust, the coal trust, and the other trusts have enact ed the role of highwaymen and bidden the wage worker stand and deliver. In this way his raise ill wages has been more than offset by the raise in the price of commodities. The trust mag mates have declared that the dinner pail will not be kept full if they can prevent it How little they are influ- enced by the ordinary sentiments of humanityfis shown by the brutal man. her in which the coal barons are treat ing the Pennsylvania miners. The persons back of the trusts have been brutalized by a sordid love of money. They are . dangerous class, whose power of extortion must be held in check in the interest of the country. If they be permitted to continue the ex- tortions they have been practising the last two years, there can never be any real prosperity for, the reason that their greed. ever .vainly seeking to gratify itself, will impose, in the form of increased prices for commodities, higher and higher taxes upon the wealth producers of the land. It is plainly a case of trusts versus the great army of labor.

There is a blind man ill the west end of London who earns his living in very novel manner. An Ameri- can was passing down a street quite recently and heard curious sound, suggesting rhythmic applause. Half dozen people stood between him and the place whence the sound came, but he was curious enough to pass them, and he saw an old blind man, with his hands close to his mouth, producing some faint suggestion of a popular air by clapping his hands together. Some little attention was required to find out the tune lie meant to express, but as everything chosen was very popular the effort was easy to follow. The blind man's companion explained the work and collected tribute, and from what could be seen there is living in the business. s.-London News.

Curious, is it not, that the whole country must suffer because of the ob- stinacy and contumacioNs false pride of half q dozen men, who happen to be at the head of companies that by hook or crook, under franchises grant ed by the state, have been able to monopolize the anthracite coal supply, and the country has no power to con trol them! We can not believe that the community will long suffer such conditions to continue. Heretofore public opinion has been able to control. But the anthracite barons appear to be impervious to the effect of public opinion.

SNAKES sTRANGLE CUB.
P1ucIxy Young Bears Teeth and Claws Are Umavailing Against
 Reptiles, Folds. s

4 struggle to the death between a bear cub and two immense bull snakes has been witnessed by three hunters near Mount Tacoma. Wash. Len Long, mire, Burt Hall and Charlie Price, the three woodsmen who saw the fights declare that the spectacle exceeded in thrilling interest anything ever seen in their long and varied experience in the big forests and mountain fast nesses of Mount Tacoma.
 The three men were on the trail headed for Indian Henry's Happy Hunting Grounds, when singular noise in the bushes short distance to one side of the trail attracted their through the underbrush in the direc- tion whence the noise proceeded, their eyes rested on spectacle rarely seen in the animal kingdom.
 A small but plucky bear cub, which had evidently been left by it's mother only short time, was having fierce battle with two large bull snakes. It proved to be an unequal conflict. In vain the little bear used his claws and teeth, though putting up vicious fight.
 One of the big reptiles succeeded in winding itself around the body of the cub, and getting in position to squeeze the breath nearly out of him. The oth- CT snake, after a hard struggle, got coil around the cubs neck, and then managed to drag him up over the limb of a tree, thus effectually hanging him.. and ending the struggle in few min utes. Hunters say these big bull snakes are rarely seen. They are afraid of men, and seek the seclusion of the rocks and woods
