In beating the bushes for a party leader
in next years forlorn hope the Democrats
have flushed a new candidate who, it is
said, is actually willing to take the risk.
After discussing nearly every natural-born
Democrat of legal age north of Mason and
Dixon's line and of some south of it, the
choice, as far as Illinois Democrats can
control it, has finally fallen on Represen-
tative James R. Williams, of that State.
His qualifications are that he is of legal
age, has served five or six terms in Con-
gress and practices law when he is not
practicing politics. Perhaps it should be
mentioned as an additional qualification
that he lives at Carmi. ILL.,, and Carmi has
never had a President of the United States.
Unless present plans go awry it is said the
Illinois delegation to the next Democratic
convention Wilt present the name of Mr..
Williams in the confident belief that if he
can get enough votes from other States he
will be nominated. He has kindly init
mated his willingness to accept the nomina-
ton if it should be rendered him, but it is
probable the beating of the bushes will
continue.

Evidently when people want to have a
solemn and decorous wedding they will have
TO get as far away from New York as pos
sible, If they possess names of any promi-
hence. The yellow press of the metrop-
oils has a way of featuring weddings of
prominent people with columns Of gossip
and pictures Il month or two before the
event that is disgusting and disgraceful and
naturally leads ignorant and curious people
to indulge in just such disgusting and dis
graceful scenes as were enacted In the
vicinity of the Roxburghe-Goelet wedding.

While the Journal is in thorough sym
pathy with the effort OF the Indiana Dem
ocratic Club to teach its members some
thing by means of lectures On the past his
tory Of the party, it fears the lectures will
be very SHINY attended for two reasons,
namely a.. most Democrats do not want to
learn anything except what chance the
party has for the offices; n (2). those few
Democrats that are intelligent and want
to know things desire to get as far away
from the party's past as possible.

1t is doubtful If history furnishes another
instance OF a government being so quickly
and severely punished for its stupid and
mercenary action as Colombia has been in
the Panama canal affair. By her short
sighted folly she has lost the big bonus and
yearly rental which the United States pro-
posed to pay for the canal and has lost the
canal route Inc the state Of Panama, be-
sides most of what little standing she had
among the nations before.

Japan,s Hairy Amos.

A traveller in Japan thus describes
the hairy Amos Of that country: "The
men are about the middle height, broad
chested, broad shouldered, thick set
very strongly built, the arms and legs
short, thick and muscular, the hands
and feet large. The bodies, and espe-
cially the limbs, of many are covered
with short, bristly hair. 1 have seen
two boys whose backs are covered with
fur as fine and soft as that of a cat
We were ferried over a river by an
Ano completely covered with hair,
which on his shoulders was wavy like
that of a retriever and rendered cloth
Ing quite needless either for covering
or for warmth. A wavy black beard
rippled nearly to his waist over his
furry chest, and with his black locks
hanging in masses over his shoulders
he would have looked a thorough saw
age had 1t not been for the exceeding
sweetness of his smile and eyes,"

Source. Of Color.

An interesting enumeration has been
published in technical journal of the
sources of color. From this it appears
that the cochineal insects furnish the
gorgeous carmine, crimson, scarlet car
mine and purple lakes; the cuttlefish
gives sepia-that is, the inky fluid
which the fish discharges in order to
render the water opaque when attack
ed; the Indian yellow comes from the
camel, ivory chips produce the ivory
black and boneblack, the exquisite
Prussian blue comes from fusing horse
hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure potassium carbonate, va
rious lakes are derived from roots,
barks and gums; blue black comes
from the charcoal of the vine stock,
turkey red is made from the madder
plant;-which grows in Hindustan; the
yellow sap of Siamese tree produces
gamboge, raw sienna is the natural
earth from the neighborhood of Siena,
Italy; raw umber is an earth found
near Umbria, india ink is made from
burned camphor, mastic is made from
the gum of the mastic tree, which
grows in the Grecian archipelago;
blister is the SCOT of wood ashes; very
little real ultramarine, obtained from
the precious lapis lazuli, is found in the
market

John WesIex,s Quarrel.

John Wesley once had disagree
ment with Joseph Bradford, his travel
ing companion of many years, and
they agreed to part. They retired for
the night, each firm in his determina-
ton and each doubtless deploring in
his heart the separation soon to follow
between two friends who had been so
devoted and mutually helpful In the
morning Wesley asked Bradford if he
had considered during the night their
agreement to part.
"Yes, sir" said Bradford.
"And must we part?" inquired Wes-
ley.
"Please yourself. sir" said Bradford
grimly.
"But will you not ask my pardon?,
demanded Wesley.
'No, sir"
"You won't?"
"No, sir"
'In that case" said Wesley gently,
II must ask yours"
1t was not the ending which Brad
ford anticipated. A moment he hesi-
tated, and then, breaking into tears,
he followed Wesley's example and for
gave and was forgiven.-Youth's Com
panion.

Decline of the Essay.

Why do we no longer find in these
magazines the long essays that were
the backbone of the old style period
icals? Is it because there are nova
days no men who like to and are able
to take their pens in hand and ramble
on and on aimlessly over hill and dale,
with many a leisurely pause and occa-
sional airy flights? Is it because the
editors can find no writer's who are
surcharged with views on all sorts Of
abstract subjects and could be moved
to impart those views at length to the
readers of magazines? Certainly not.
Almost every man who writes at all
would like to write essays-long es-
says. But the wise editors won't have
them any more, because the people
won't read them and won't even take
magazines that get the reputation of
harboring them. If an editor Graves
a small circulation in this day let him
gather the essayists about him and
freely turn them loose upon his pages
Success.
