A Horn NEarksmnu.

Marksmen are born, not made, as Horace might have said. A man who had been in the navy only three weeks was a member of one of the crews manning a six-pound gun on recent target-practice cruise of the Texas. He aimed the gun-the first time he had ever done such thing, and hit the target at 8 thousand yards. Then, just to show that it was not luck, he hit the target nine times more in ccession.-Y outh's Companion.

Laid Sturdy Foundation.
 The pope seems destined to do credit

 Lapponi. True to the prescriptions
 laid down by the farmer ill his famous
 first chapter, for the first sixty eight
 years of his life as the Roman Hippo

 in the town and oftener than not Tn the
 open air. He nought to yacht or hunt
 or allow himself the recreation or roo
 or gun. In this latter form of out
 door exercise the pope, when archD1sh-
 op of Perugia, was exceptionally pro- | ficient and after an enjoyable day OH l the JTmbrian hillsides he would return with heavy bag of red-legged part ridges for distribution among the nos pitfalls of his diocese-a feat he there after celebrated in Carullian hende- casyllables for the amusement or the dean and chapter.

How to Make Scaling Wax.

Six ounces of resin, four of red lead, two of vermilion and two of powdered shellac melted together will make the best red sealing wax. For black wax the best ivory black is substituted for the red lead and vermilion, for green verdigris is used, for blue the coloring matter is verditer or slnalt, for yellow chrome and for purple a mixture of vermilion and smalt. Sealing wax is often scented with a little balsam of Peru.

CLEVELAND, BRYAN EFT AL.

Cincinnati Enquirer (dem.): The Cleve-
land boom seems to strike Colonel Bryan
as a dangerous proposition. The Nebraska
sage cannot afford to brush II aside as
unworthy of digni1ed notice.
New York Tribune (rep): In democratic
national politics Colonel Bryan is not only
boiling within, but also boiling without.
Meanwhile, with stately step and slow. the
Goliath OF the Princeton Gath moves ma
jestically out to battle with the little
David of Wolfert's Roost, who is lowering
on his tanks with a small sling.
Philadelphia North American (rep.): Mr..
Bryan says there is not the remotest pos
sibility of the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land, but when asked to name the savior
of the democracy In 1904 his notorious mod
esty deters him from discussing any
available individual" He ls free to say,
however. that geographical considerations
cut no figure in the matter.
Philadelphia Press (rep): Colonel
Bryan's notion that he is the whole DEM
ocratic nominating trust may be corrected
by a careful consideration Of the presi-
Dental boom merger that has been going
on in the east, with headquarters at
Princeton. When all the booms here
abouts get together in the Cleveland boom
1t Is going to have pretty large dimensions
Philadelphia Record (dem.): Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland declares that at no time
since the close of his last administration
has he desired a fourth nomination for the
presidency. This clearly discloses his own
attitude toward the attitude of some Of
his friends who are trying to push him
to the front against his desire. The dem
onstration in favor Of his candidacy has
not been without value in clearing the
way for future action. 1t has shown that
the democratic party is ready for a return
to settled democratic policies and in no
humor for further %populistic experiment.
Chicago Chronicle (dem.): AS Mr.. Bryan
realizes thai there Is no longer a prospect
that he can become president of the United
States he develops a disposition to assail
his betters in the democratic party. Most
of his public utterances of late have beer
abusive OF democrats, = questioning their
motives, ~impunging their honesty and deny
ing their word. So long as he cherished
the idea that he could reach the white
house he was reasonably circumspect in his
treatment of democrats who did not agree
with him in all things. When that hope
was e~xtinguished he became s~tudiously
offensive. Many years ago when Allen g

the city and 1t is said will again be a can
didate at the coming election.
Secretary of War Root Is to Join the
fashionable colony in upper Park avenue

constructor OF the navy and somewhat Of

has only to let go OF the bottle as the ship
moves and watch It swing unerringly to the
bow.
Mark Twain received one vote in a con-
test conducted for a Berlin newspaper to
determine who is the most distinguished

that it is only for bravery In action thai

obey. Two-thirds Of the states have not
gone on record yet as ~favoring such a
convention. but the direct election plan is
growing in popular favor, and the neces-
sary number of states will be secured.
Some now hostile will be converted. The
flowing tide is with the direct election
method.
A convention to propose amendments
cannot be restricted TO the submission OF
one amendment. 1t may propose many,
some OF which may be radical. Voting in
the convention will be by states. Idaho,
Nevada, Montana and Wyoming will out
vote New York. Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts. A majority of the states may
vote to propose amendments which will
horrify conservative eastern states.
No senator Is unaware of this. Few sem
ators desire a constitutional convention.
When the number OF states which demand
one Is dangerously near thirty the senators
who are the most opposed to direct cleo
ton will yield to popular pressure and will
submit the desired amendment to escape
the alternative of a convention.
The advocates OF direct election have
made great progress in a few years. II
they keep up the fight a little longer they
will be victorious.

THIS CITYCoUNClL SHOULDREcONSLDBR
The tax-paying citizens Of Omaha and
consumers OF water generally who were
so jubilant over the compulsory pur-
chase of the water works may presently
discover that they have nothing to jubi-
late over. Most Of these good people
may not be aware Of the fact. but it
nevertheless is true that the water
works company has stolen a march on
them both in the enactment Of the
Howell-G Gilbert water bill, in the APP
pointment OF the water board and in
the selection Of the appraisers.
Under the original contract with the
water works company the city has the
right to acquire the property at the ex-
p~iratlon of twenty years from the COM
pletion Of the works by paying for the
plant without considering the value Of
the franchise. Under this contract the
city has the right to name one ap-
praiser, the water company a second
appraiser and the two appraisers a
third.
1t is a most extraordinary coincidence
that Isaac S. Hascall, the bell-wether
of the Holly water gang. that was com
pletely routed In It's attempt to foist an
inferior high pressure plant upon the
city twenty-one years ago and who
manipulated the council on behalf OF
the original American Water Works
company 50 that the works were not
accepted by the city until two years
after their completion. was the man
who introduced and pushed through the
outgoing council OF Omaha the con,
irmation Of the appointment Of EngI
neer Alvord Of Chicago as the appraiser
for the city OF Omaha.
The question hat confronts us Is
Can Mr.. Alvord be depended upon tC
champion and safeguard the interest,
OF the city in the appraisement, or will
he stand in with the appraiser ap
pointed by the water works company
and join with him in selecting the thru
appraiserl To a man up a tree It look
very much as II the water works com
pany would have all three appraiser
and the city nobody. This impression
may be erroneous, but 1t is a natura
sequence OF existing circumstances.
The city Of Omaha has an enginee
who is fully competent to represent /
on the appraisement board and the cit
could, moreover, have had his service
in that capacity without expending
dollar in addition to his salary. Will
Mr.. Alvord will. doubtless. charge any
where from one to hve thousand dollar
for his services. The city enginee
could have been depended upon TO max
an honest, impartial appraisement an,
in any controversy give the city tn
benefit OF the doubt.

name was projected before the council
II was the duty Of that body TO lnvesti-
gate him thoroughly and to interrogate
him personally regarding his views as
to the method he proposes to pursue in
the valuation and also the engineer or
engineers he would vote for as the third
man. But no such %precaution was
taken and Mr.. Alvord will represent the
great corporation OF Omaha with its
hundred-million dollars without the
slightest assurance that the city's in
terest will be protected. A more reck-
less and extra hazardous transaction on
behalf Of a public corporation is incon-
ceivable.
In the midst of the excitement over
the labor strike Il may be difficult to
arouse property owners and water con-
sumers Of Omaha to the danger of a
jug handle bargain hat would involve
the city in a colossal mortgage debt

rates. There is still time for the coun-
Gil to reconsider and recind it's action.

BILL WILL BE CoNsERVIrIVE

Senator Spooner, who is one Of the
subcommittee of the senate finance com
mittee charged with the duty of fran
ing a new currency bill. is quoted as
saying that the members of the commit
tee, at their recent conference, were of
one mind as to the course to be pursued
and that was to keep to conservative
ground and in nowise advance a radical
bill which would give rise to any doubt
as to the future among business inter
ests. The Washington correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger observes that 1t
is safe to say the committee will not
propose any experimental propositions.
The prosperity Of the country and the
confidence which the people have in the
present administration are two power
full factors combining to control the
judgment Of the members of the COM
mittee.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that some of the features of the Aldrich
bill will be embraced in the new meas
ure. 1t is being pointed out, however.
that there were numerous objections to
that bill, particularly from bankers of
the middle west, so that another meas
ure framed on the general ines of that
one would be sure to encounter more
or less opposition. This is, of course.
well understood by the committee and
perhaps will cause them some per-
plexity when they come to the task of
preparing a bill. 1t will certainly be a
rather difficult matter to frame a cur.
rency bill that both the public and the
bankers will be satisfied with. but the
able men who have the matter in charge
may accomplish this. At all events it is
gratifying to know that they intend to
keep to conservative ground.
