a foreign dispatch says considerable in
terest is being excited by a book recently
published in Berlin by DR.. Won Halle, a
~well-known German publicist. in which he
urges Germany to press and If necessary to
force Holland to enter the German en-
pire. The methods of pressure advised are
commercial rather than military, but the
suggestion will be none the less offensive
TO the sturdy Hollanders. If Germany
should attempt to carry it out she would
find herself engaged in a difficult work.

Bryan. Hill and Cleveland

The refusal of William Jennings Bryan to accept a nomination for Gov ernor of Nebraska. rendered him by both the Democrats and Populists of his own State, is ample and satisfac- tory eveidence that he is not Presi- dential aspirant in 1904. MT. Bryan has plenty of political sense, his enc mics to the contrary notwithstanding, and he knows that the Democratic party does not need, and cannot afford to nominate a man who cannot carry his own State The Democrats have a willy, purse-laden foe, and at the best they have an uphill task It is the duty of all Democrats to see that every possible aid is turned to advantage in the coming contest MT. Bryan sees this, and he has definitely taken him self out of the race.
 Mr. Hill and Mr Cleveland should initiate this example, unless indeed they can show they can carry their re- spectlve States. If Governor Odell sweeps New York this fall, as he e;l- poets to do, there will be no deader man in this country than the sage Of Wolfert's Roost. And as for ex-Prest- dent Cleveland, he does not propose to shaw be can carry New Jersey; hs could not carry it, and he would in 1904 be a third-termer to boot.
 To make a long story ehort all th"oe -rr-ar, Hill and Gle ye!and-are uu- ayai.a5le in 1904, and the coming man must be sought elsewhere. Some are lookii to Maryland, some to Ohio, and some to the results of the cleo tions this fall, for entries will not be ended until after the elections in No vember. 1903.

--'e'----------- JOKE ON SAM JONES.
Unpremedtated Remark Brought Him
 Buttermilk From All Sides.

From The New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Speaking of practical jokes" said a man from Texas, reminds me of little thing that happened a few years ago in one of the more prosperous young towns of the big state. There was big re ligious revival going on at the time and it was being conducted by one of the most noted eyangeists of the country Sam Jones was the man. and he was stir ring things up in that section Of the world. The town was wrought up over his sayings. One day he found himself in possession of a bottle of good old wine which had been sent to him as evi- dence of good faith in profession made by some man who had decided to quit the rum habit. Sam Jones had no use for the wine. In jocular way he pre- scented the wine to the newspaper crowd
 telling the boys they might manage to get little inspiration out of it. One of the boys, in writing a little siit about the thing, said MT. Jones had given the wine to the boys of the press and had incidentally mentioned the fact that but termilk was his favorite drink. The little town was the hub of the buttermilk belt. Enough milk was produced in that part of Texas to float the American navy. The newspaper notice had marvellous effect. It brought forth the buttermflk
 and 1t came in all sorts of quantities to
 the hotel where the evangelist was stop
 ping. Buckets, bottles, cans and utensils
 of almost every kind were left at the
 eating place for the Georgian. Milk bells were ringing and milk wagons were roll ing up to the place during all the day. never saw as much buttermlk in my life
 Sam Jones, if he had lived to be as old as Methuselah,. could not have consumed the quantity of milk which had been hauled, carried and 'toted' to the hotel by Texans who read the little squib in the newspaper about buttermilk being the favorite drink of the evangelist. Sam Jones was somewhat annoyed by the thing at first but the funny part of the situation dawned on him, and, appreciat- ing the good spirit of the offering, he got a deal of fun out of 1t all, It was a
 good practical joke and yet altogether unintended. for the newspaper man never dreamed of the consequences

National Appalachian Forest Reserve.

The Senate has passed the bill pro- viding for the purchase of 100000 acres in Georgia, West Virginia, Vir- gfnia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee, at a cost not exceeding s1OOOO,00O. The lands thus purchased are to be mountain lands lying along the great divide between the Atlantic and the great central val ley. The bill aims to buy and set apart as a forest reserve the Southern Ap- palachian mountains. It puts the pur- chases in the hands of the Secretary of Agriculture, who is to be charged with the preservation and improve ment of the forests after they are pur chased.
 The House committee to which similar bill had been referred has brought in a favorable report but in the closing days of the session there is no prospect that the Senate bill can be passed It can, however be passed readily in the House in the short ses- sion, and undoubtedly will be-
 The bill is indefinite in it's terms directing a purchase of lands, and it is impossible to say how far into this State purchases will extend. There will be no gaps in the chain, it is pre- sumed. The park wal be a continuous one, and four ml.lion acres will make a very large park. The expectation is that the land will cost on the average two dollars and half an acre, which Is much more than most of it has here tofore been held at
 Nothing now seems to stand in the way of great Southern forest reserve except possibly the greed of landed proprietors. If they proceed to put their mountain lands above two dollars and half an acre, the bill will become imperative and the purcnases cannot be made.

Modern Guns and Warfare.

The newspapers are still discussing the military lessons of the Boer war It is conceded that close formation and old-time practices have been abolished by the one-sided war. Men must now take cover at every opportunity; guns can be picked off at the distance of something better than a mile, and a good defensive position can be held by a small number of men. Scouting has become difficult, but has lost none of its importance, and advances as rule are to be made in extended order
 1t is seen, too, that even lines of Communication as long as the distance from New York to Burlington can be held, although of course at the cost of many lives. Heavy guns are valuable in the field, ana the value of artillery in general was well sustained in the war Just ended The want of artillery renaered the Boers powerless in az eresslon in the later days of the war Cavalry, too, stands vindicated.

BREAKING IT TO THE PRESIDENT

From the New York World.
 There was ccnsternation at the White House. The ultimatum did not ultimate
 Contrary to the logic of all events sacred and proiane, the beet-sugar Sen ators were not frightened
 "Do they dare?" asked the President Do they dare defeat me?' There was no answer. Presidential secretaries have their emotions under good control
 T said must distinctly must' did I not?"
 Still there was no answer. Then a mes- sage went hurling to the Capitol for the the ultimatum.
 He came. "The truth" demanded the President
 We are defeated the sad Senator replied. We cannot move a wheel. The beet-sugar men are in control"
 "But my message and my uitimatun?"
 The sad Senator gazed pensively out of the window.
 And my leaders-what of Aldrich and Hanna and Spooner and Allison? Can they not force this through? They have never failed before"
 "Son," said the sad Senator, rising and putting his hand on the President s tcuselled hair, you are young in politics. You have much to learn. Has 1t never oc- cured to you that perhaps they didn' t want to win this fight-perhap ps they had no desire to forcerit through?'
