BRYAN FINDS HIMsELFIN PUZZLE.
William Jennings Bryan, who lectured
at Mount Carmel, Pa, last week, has a
keen mind for puzzles. His host and
hostness at Mount Carmel were ex-
Judge L. S. Walter and wife. They
are much interested in puzzle pictures
appearing in a monthly magazine.
During Bryan's visit fresh copy of the
magazine arrived, and Judge Walter,
laying it before his guest, pointed
out a series of representations of great
men, and said he had solved all put one.
1t was a picture of two barrels on which
was stamped, "Pork preserver. Bryan
looked at it, and quickly replied;
"Why, that's me. Brine is the best
known preserver of pork."

THE RACE PROBLEM.

Gov. Howard of South Carolina yes
terday received notice that the Legislature
of Wisconsin has passed a resolution cali
ing on the governor, to that State to re-
quest all the other governors to appoint
delegates to convention called to meet
in Atlanta for the purpose of discussing
and, if possible, solving the race prob
lem. The governor was asked for his
opinion. He replied as follows.
From every standpoint this action OF
the Wisconsin legislature is worse than
meaningless. Such convention could
not possibly bring any result, so far as
the proper aspect of the subject is con-
cerned. OF all available reasons TO.
the consideration of the race question, /
know of nothing more directly aimed in
absolutely the wrong direction, so tar as
the proper solution of the problem is con-
cerned, than would be such a convention.
The personnel of such body would be a
heterogeneous mixture entirely without
the proper knowledge Of the subject they
were supposed to be able to discuss.
The interference and ignorance of long
range, would-be philanthropist has done
more to create race question where
none exists than all other combined agen-
cies that have ever come within my OBJ
servation. | have always been friend
of the negro ard never spoke with
more sincere friendly consideration for
his interests than in what am now say
ing. Right thinking white men and
right thinking negroes have always with
proper understanding gotten along well
together. The other type of negro needs
to be dealt with. This outside interler-
ence involves many conflicting dangers
and displays absolute ignorance Of the
fundamental principles of the question.
1t is charitable reflection, mildly ex-
pressed, to remind these champions of
such vapid nonsense how the streets of
Jerusalem were kept clean. | shall
take no official notice of the action OF
the Wisconsin legislature and shall GER
tainly not appoint delegates unless urged

TO sUPERCEDE SKILLED LABOR.

TO SUPERCEDE SKILLED LABOR.
One of the most sensational moves
made by the American Window Glass
Company was inaugurated in Pittsburg,
Pa, yesterday when the executive COM
mittee of the corporation issued formal
notice to its workmen that after lapse
of seven days, and on March IA, all of
the factories of the American Window
Glass Company will close for the season,
irrespective of what other companies
will do. The moment the factories are
closed the company has arranged that
large force of men will be put to work TO
equip them with the new glass blowing
machinery. 1t is said that all of the
factories of the company will be
equipped with the new machines, which
will do the work of the skilled labor by
machine and removing from the glass
factory the highest priced skilled labor
known in the country. 1t will give the
company glass production at cost OF
less than one third of the cost under the
hand labor.
President James A. Chambers, of the
kmerican Window Glass Company, in
discussing the latest action of his corpo-
ration, said the blowing machines would
be installed in all of the company's
plants as rapidly as possible. The
shutdown, however, will be for consid-
erabfe time
The action ofthe American Window
Glass Company in closing its factories
and installing its machinery is said to be
its answer to the independents, who
have refused 70 come to any agreement
concerning a uniform closing of plants
this spring. To make more emphatic
thestatements of the big corporation, it
was stated that a charter had been APP
piled for under the laws of New Jessey,
for the incorporation of the American
Window Glass Machine Company,
which is to have capital of $40, 900, 600,
all of which is to be controlled by the
directors and officers of the glass com
pany, and which will own all the patents
and manufacture all of the machines
for making window glass that now exist.
The officials of the company declined
last night to make any statement regard
ing the plans of this new corporation
until the charter had been secured, but
in general way it was explained that
the new blowing machines were to be
manufactured exclusively for the Amerl-
can Window Glass Company and in
stalled in the works, being paid for on
the royalty plan. All former lists have
been withdrawn by the American Com
pany. and it is now believed that cut
in rates will be made.
