to do a histrionic stunt. Mr. Cleveland
is a heavy tragedian and Col. Bryan a

been mentioned in connection with the

tariff bill, which had the support of
Mr.. Bryan in congress, and which both
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan desired
should become law in more radical
form than that in which it was finally
enacted.
There was no divergence between the
two men on this point, and II the Chi
cago platform struck at Cleveland In its
approval of Altgelds views of govern
ment by injunction and of states rights,
Mr.. Bryan's own speciality was sixteen
to one, the paramount" issue. Here
he diverged from Cleveland very widely,
but Cleveland's ideas on the subject
were known before the election of 1892,
and they were the winning ideas in the
elections of 1896 and 1900. 1t Is hardly
clear, therefore, that the Cleveland ad-
ministration was SO much worse than
the Bryan convention as vote re-
peller, and Mr.. Bryan ought to get his
reasoning powers into better state OF
repair.
AS to his speech as whole, we can
not discover that It is a keynote or raj
lying cry. 1t is strongly denunciatory
of Mammon, but Mammon has no self
professed friends on the stump among
democrats or republicans.

REPUBLICANS OF KENTUCKY.
They Are United on the Principles of
Roosevelt and the
Party.

Harmony among the republicans Of
Kentucky will insure that state for
Roosevelt and state officers. Democratic
divisions are widening on questions of
principles as well as individuals. The
present prospect is that the Cleveland
and the Bryan elements will fight each
other next year, more for supremacy
within the party than with an expecta-
ton of success. Mr.. Cleveland will not
be passive In 1904 nor confine himself to
voting the republican ticket, says the
st. Louis Democrat. He will ac-
cept the democratic nomination II ten
dered. At all events, he expects to figure
prominently in making the ticket and
platform. Mr.. Bryan will be. equally
active and self-assertive. He will not
forgive democrats who voted against
him unless they acknowledge they were
wrong. Mr.. Cleveland and his associates
propose to demonstrate by the action Of
the national convention that they were
right in 1896 and 1900.
But the probability that the democrats
of Kentucky. as well as of other states,
will be arrayed against each other next
year is less significant II the republi-
cans OF the state also propose to fight
each other. Kentucky republicans were
deliberately robbed of the state ofYices
during the Goebel period. On fair vote
the state is close. Kentucky belongs In
the same geographical tier as Maryland
and West Virginia. The latter has be-
come surely republican and Maryland
has been usually republican during the
last ten years. The republicans of Ken
lucky are united on the principles Of the
party and on Roosevelt. Minor differ
ences ought to be laid aside. 1t may be
assumed that the clash Of merely per-
sonal ambitions will stop. It Is mis-
take. waste Of valuable strength. Ken
lucky republicans have fine opportu-
nifty for 1901 The use Of II depends on
themselves.

SOME LARGE BOTTLES.
Hold Forty-Five Gallons Each, stand
Six Feet High and Are sixteen
Inches in Width.

In attempting to turn out huge bot
tie to send to the st. Louis exposition,
the glass blowers of Alton, ILL.,, have
turned out four glass bottles with
capacity of As gallons each, which are
believed to be the largest bottles ever
blown.
Alonzo Miller made the first big bot
tie. Other glass blowers then strove
to outdo him, and attempted to make
big bottle, without mold, In order to
give 1t greater size. Valentine Reinin-
ger, Jesse Steelman, and John Metz un-
dertook the task, and with only shaper
to fashion the bottoms, they blew YES
sells capable of holding As gallons each.
1t was task of one hour to make each
bottle.
Forty pounds of molten glass were
drawn from the furnace, and shaped on
the end of a long blowpipe. In order to
accomplish the feat. the glass had to
be reheated many times In the furnace
as It was being blown in plastic
state to the size and shape desired.
Many unsuccessful attempts to form the
big bottles were made before complete
success was met.
All the air used in blowing the bot
ties made, about IL 900 cubic inches In
each, was supplied from the lungs of the
blowers, who were making them, one
man blowing the bottle alone. The
chief difficulty lay in keeping the neck
of the bottle hot and plastic, as 1t was
cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe.
Many bottles were made, but most of
them were spoiled in the operation, and
were discarded. The four perfect ones,
which have been preserved for exhibit
ton, stand nearly six feet high. and are
about 16 inches across at the bottoms.
The making of these big bottles Is
recognized as masterful feat In the
glass blowing trade. Glass blowers
from all parts of the country have taken
great interest in the experiment. and
the makers of the bottles have received
many inquiries as to their methods. 1t
is a new line for rivalry, as 1t was here
tofore considered impossible to make
such big bottles, because of the difficult
ties in the way Of the blowers handling
such a large mass of molten glass;

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN.
The Old Pot and Kettle Business Re-
vived I'm the Democratic
Ranks.

Very little interest was taken In Mr..
Bryan when he rode through the streets
Of Chicago Saturday. but some interest
attaches to his speech which he deliv-
cred at the picnic of the Chicago Demo-
cratic club because of the preliminary
advertising which 1t received. 1t was to
contain highly seasoned roast" OF
Cleveland, and was to be a political pro-
nunciamento of national significance,
says the Chicago Record Herald.
The attack on Cleveland was made
according to expectations, but Mr.. Bry-
an has about exhausted his rhetoric in
philippics Of this sort, and we know
only what we knew before. that he will
do his utmost to prevent the Cleveland
democrats from gaining control Of the
next democratic national convention.
His logic on the injury done his can
didacy in 1896 by the record Of the
Cleveland administration is curious
enough, however, to deserve some no
tice. The odium of that record, he says,
did more to defeat the democratic party
than any one plank of the Chicago plat
form, or even than all the planks that
were severely criticised. In sense this
is true, but not at all in the sense that
Mr.. Bryan means. The greatest influ-
ence against the democrats was the hard
times, and In all probability 1t would
have defeated any democratic candidate
II there had been no silver question.
But there was very general belief that
the hard times were due to the Wilson

stunt.

In his speech at the Carter Harrison
inquest on the national democracy, and
returned a verdict in direct opposition
to the facts, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Mr.. Bryan proved that he had learned
nothing since 1896, save to defy the
semisavage Aguinaldo. and had forgot
ten everything. His assertion that the
republican victories in 1896 and since
were won by no influence save those of
corruption of the electorate showed his
persistence In uttering malignant SLAM
der upon increasing majorities Of the
American people.
His declaration that "the odium which
Mr. Cleveland's second administration
brought upon the party did more to de-
feat 1t than all the planks of the Chicago
platform" was SO absolute perversion
of the truth that 1t could result solely
from blindness to facts so total as to
be characterized only as political hys-
terra.
Mr.. Bryan's appearance on this par
ticular occasion was interesting be-
cause it was made under conditions
that showed him to be not averse to
lending such influence as he may still
possess to the promotion of the absurd
movement to make Carter Harrison a
presidential candidate.
His utterances, however, must have
brought cold comfort to Mayor Harri-
sons friends, for he showed clearly
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1903-08-01

enough that he considered a demo-
cratic victory in 1904 hopeless His ex-
hortations to his party to be willing
still to suffer defeat for the "princi-
pies" in whose support he has twice led
it to disaster proved his hopelessness Of
victory.
In his clinging to ideas repeatedly re-
pudiated by the people, in his persist
ence>in assigning every cause save the
true one for the unbroken series Of
democratic disasters since 1894, Mr.
Bryan proved one fact beyond shadow
of question.
That is that the national democracy
can never hope to have even the begin
ming of chance Of success until it alb
solutely eliminates Bryan and Bryan
ism-until 1t gets rid altogether of a
leadership which forgets everything,
learns nothing, and continually ISLANDERS
the American people.
