 Time may work a revolution in the rank and file of his followers but Mir Bryan declares ''I am here, and here I remain" and there will be no moving of him. The .reorganizers will have to ac- cept one or other proposition: Let Mir. Bryan have his way and another defeat; or proceed without reference to Mir. Bryan. The last policy would seem to be the only reasonable one.(

"A prominent botanist," as we are told
 holds to the belief that trees sleep in the night just like human beings and other animals. and that the multiplicity of artificial lights Is the cause \ of the stunted growth of many trees in our cities. Here's theory for you, and it is capable of extended application. We suppose that those trees which continue to flourish are the owls. bats and rabbits of the vegetable kingdom, which sleep in the daytime. and the trees that die are Is respectfully referred to the Norfolk papers for investigation and elucida ;ion

The Portland Oregonian. in discussing the undesirablity of Chinese immigration, and of Chinamen as citizens remarks that a few of them might be made useful Tin clearing land and other ruder employ ments." We do not know what kind of Chinamen they have in Portland. but the specimens with which we are most familiar would be about as useful in a 'newground' as so many monkeys Chopping down trees, mauling rails, building fences and the like is as foreign to their nature and habits as teaching our schools would be. and the average Chinaman could hardly tell an axe from a buck-saw. There may be some farm labor for which they are well fitted. but we certainly would not class the clearing of the forests as one of them

The good people of South Carolina taken as a whole, have really little cause 10 eyiticise or censure Tillman. or talk about any discredit he has brought on their State. He was once Governor of South Carolina, and few men in, public office have been the recipients of more scathing denunciations than were visited on him. His official acts and conduct were denounced from one end of the State to the other. whether altogether justly or not we do not say. but it was done. Since then they have twice elected him to the United States Senate or have elected the men who did elect him, and now they ought to reserve some of their criticisms for themselves. He is probably no worse no wthan when he was Gov ernor, and they had ample opportunity to know him. We may sympathize with them in their humiliation. but they brought 1t on themselves.

TWO SURPRISED LOVERS

Last Sunday reporter for the Eagle
took ride on one OF the big Rock Is
land passenger engines. lie went for the
express purpose Of observing the work
ings Of an electric headlight and he had
very good chance 10 see the difference
between the one Of electricity and one OF
the common old style lights for he came
back behind one OF the latter style. The
electric lights gives a pure white light
and the reporter was able TO see a full
half mile. Whisuing posts could be read
clearly 200 feet away and at point
about 800 yards in advance Of the engine
there seemed to be a very bright spot
This was the focus of the light and every
bolt and joint showed as clearly as If in
bright daylight The reporter could see
a great distance ahead of him and every
weed was clearly outlined hundreds Of
yards ahead Of the engine.
South Of this city there is a small but
sharp curve and the road runs along
public road for some distance. Some
young man was out driving with his
sweetheart during the evening and hap
pened 10 be going along that road as,
tho train vas going south. The young
lady was using The mans shoulder as
a rest instead of the back Of the buggy
seat and they seemed to be in the great
est happiness. But they reckoned without
their host, for suddenly the engine swung
around the curve and the fun glare of
the powerful headlight was thrown on
them. The young mans arm few Up rs

as only three men saw them and then
only for an instant.
On the return trip there was not such
a powerful headlight. II threw a yellow
light and it was impossible to sec more
than 100 feet ahead of the engine and this
not clearly. II was rather bright moon

headlight proved itself to be far superior

and your committee 500 each if you bring

As there are something like thirty-five
members on the committee Secretary
