BRYAN'S CHOICE FOR 1904.

Judge Walter Clark Of North Carolina
Suggested.
New York, May 20 The New York
Herald prints to-day the following
from its Washington bureau: Demo
Gratis here are puzsling over the lat
est candidate Of W. ]. Bryan for the
Presidency. When Mr.. Bryan was
here last month, he summoned Sena-
tor Blackburn Of Kentucky to his
hotel.
"Who do you think would make
the best candidate for the Presi-
dency?" asked Mr.. Bryan.
"What do you think Of Judge
Parker?" parried the Kentuckian.
wont do" replied MIR. Bryan.
Mr.. German, Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Cleveland were next suggested. None
Of these met with the approval ofthe
Nebrsskan. He spent several min.
utes in delivering an attack on Mr..
Cleveland. As last resort Senator
Blackburn asked il Mr.. Olney would
do. Mr.. Bryan disapproved.
81 am at the end OF my rope then"
said Senator Blackburn. snow give
us a name"
NAMED A MAN UNKNOWN.
"Well,' replied Mr.. Bryan, "there
are several good men, but | have
looked over the field, and in my opin.
ion Judge Walter Clark OF North
Carolina is the man who stands for
the principles OF true Democracy,
and he is the man we ought to run"
"Who is Clark" MIR. Blackburn
was forced to ask.
Bryan told him that his candidate
was chief justice OF North Carolina
and a very able man. A search re-
vealed that Judge Clark has views
that coincide with those OF Mr.. Bryan
on most Of the things in the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms, and that
he visited Mexico several years ago
and wrote at length on the beauties
OF the silver basis as it operated in
Mexico.
Senator Simmons OF North Caro-.
lima was in Washington to-day and
was asked il the state would approve
Mr., Bryan's choice and support
Judge Clark in the next nationalcon
vention.
"Oi coure, it would" replied Sena
tor Simmons.
"And it would also support Gov
ernor Aycock for Vice-President. We
will have no trouble in supplying the
whole ticket from the tar heel state. y
MR.. BRYAN CONFIRMS IT.
Lincoln, Neb., May GOV. J,
Bryan was asked last night il he had
told Senator Blackburn in Washing
ton that Judge Walter Clark Of
North Carolina would be a good man
for President and if he would stand
by the assertion.
"If Senator Blackburn said 80 it
must be So" said Mr.. Bryan, smil
ingly. Then he added:
"In discussing Judge Clark with
Senator Blackburn and others, it has
only been as one of many available
candidates. The Commoner has sug.
gested the name OF Judge Clark
among the available candidates"

FOrty-eight of EN-.

In all likelihood the Republican at
tempt will be to bridge ever another
election with Prosperity" Assum-
ing that Wall streets periodical
squalls develop no real tempests and
that no other disorders plunge the
country into panic in the interim, we
shall have again to face the false
conclusion that adapts itself to any
premise. Pointing to the things that
are, the politicians viii extol thesup-
posed bountiiul virtues OF Republi-
canism. Already the advance agents
are preparing the way.
The prosperity promoters play up
on superstition and fear. They
seek to hold us in awe Of some deeply
mysterious alliance between prosper
ity and the Dingley tariff. We are
solemnly warned that, if the Dingley
schedule is even so much as touched
presto: away will vanish prosper
ity. There must be no tariff tinker
ing" 1t is as il some magic spell
had been cast over the tariff long
ages ago, which il would be sacrilege

we're as old aSEgypt and had always
enjoyed soyfsort OF sacred immuni-
ty. -
~ pe well now and then to tell
~ Oh about the tariff, As a
OF fact, the Dingley bill is n
mere impertinent and infantile
obstruction, recently raised by the
friends of monopoly. BY actual
count, according to an official list
prepared by the Joint Congressional
Committee OF 1898, there have been
just forty-eight Of such distractions
raised by the Republican party in be-
half OF privileged interests during the
short space OF forty years, an aver
age OF more than one year-which
shows that even to the Republican
mind there is nothing 80 very sacred
about tariffs, and demonstrates the
insincerity OF the warning, Beware
how you touch the Dingley bill!'-

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot

deafness, and that Is by constitu-

by an inhamed condition of the

Tube. When this tube Is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or I'm
perfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-

An Ice Pou1tice.

IN many cases of inflammation an
ice poultice is very useful applica-
ton. 1t is made in this way: Spread a
layer of linseed I1eal three-Quarters of
an inch thick on a piece Of cloth and
upon the meal, put at intervals Jumps
Of ice about the size of marble. Sprin-
kle meal over the ice and cover all
with the cloth, turning the edges over.
In this way the ice will last much
longer than it otherwise would and the
poulticc will be quite comfortable.

The Hundred and Fifty-first Psalm

The Hundred and Fifty-hrst Psalm
Your Bible, if it is of the regulation
sort, closes the book of Psalms with
the One Hundred and Fiftieth. In the
Greek Bible, however, there is another
entitled "a psalm Of David after h'
had slain Goliath" Athanasus praises
it very highly in his Synopsis Of the
Holy Scriptures" 1t was versified by
Apollinarius AleXandrius, A. ID. $50
and a Latin translation of it may be
found in the works Of Fabricus. The
English translation is by Baring-Gould
the well known antiquarian:
PSALM eli.
l. was small among my brethren, and
growing up in my fathers house, 1 kept
his sheep.
9 My hands made the organ and my
fingers shaped the psaltery.
3. And who declared unto my Lord. He
the Lord, he heard all things.
4. He sent his angels and they took me
from my fathers sheep. He anointed
me in mercy from his JUNCTION.
5. Great and goodly are my brethren,
but with them God was not well pleased.
g. went TO meet the (gianO stranger,
and he cursed me by all his idols.
Z. But 1 smote off his head with his own
drawn sworn, and l blotted out the re-
proach of Israel.

What The Sap Is Doing
Alice Echo:

Alice Echo:
The following will give correct
idea of the railroad building being
done on the San Antonio IL Arkansas
Pass extension out of Alice. The
right of way clearing gangs have
reached the King pasture. The
grading outfits are scattered from a
point one mile out Of town to the
camps of the clearing gangs. The
tract is finished for one mile out
and the track layers are putting a
siding one mile long These two
miles of track were necessary to ac-
comodate the material, such as ties,
bridge timber, etc. that is arriving
daily.
There are nine sub-contractors-
Messrs. Pat Flynn, ], $. Rice, Dan
Erkel, Phil Prinz, j. A. Rowland,
f. B. Rowland, w. H. Weidman,
Jones & Daily and NJ H. Kilgore.
These are old and experienced con-
tractors some of whom were SUBJ
contractors under ]. P. Nelson %
years ago. There are 125 teams at
work. 1t was impossible to get the
number of men engaged but it is
estimated that there is not less
than 300, not counting the right of
way men. On account of the search
ty OF labor it has been necessary to
bring in a great many negroes.
About 10000 ties are on the
ground.

Rice Crop 0verestimaied.
Injury to Rice Farmers by Exag-
gerated Reports-Crop About
All Harvested.
Houston Post:

Houston Post:
Mr.. E. G. Quamby, assistant gen.
eral manager of the Northern r.
rigation company, which owns
10000 acres OF rice lands near
Markham, 600 of which were plant
ed in rice this season, is in the city,
having come up to attend the meet
ing of the canal men. Mr.. Quamby
stated to a representative of the
Post yesterday afternoon that the
reports being circulated concerning
the rice yield this season were
greatly exaggerated, and were work
ing an injury to the rice farmers.
! "The truth of the matter Is there
is only an average CROP" he stated.
This maintains throughout the
rice belt. Take Matagorda county,
for instance. Reports have been
circulated to the effect that the
Weld will be from eighteen to
twenty bags to the acre, when IN
reality from eight to ten will be the
average. The yield is not so large
as that of last year, had last years
crop been saved. The people were
taught lesson last year through
their crop wasting in the field, and
this year they have taken advantage
of the fine weather for harvesting.
There are two threshing machines
at work this season where there was
only one last season.
"The swiftness which has attend
ed the harvesting of the crop has
tended to congest the warehouses
in the towns for the reason that the
farmers have no place to store their
rice and are forced to bring it to
the town. Casual observers see tie
warehouses and mills overloaded
and they at once take it for granted
that the crop is an overwhelmingly
large one, and that the mills and
! warehouses are unable to take care
Of it. These exaggerated reports
have had deadening effect on the
market. Even mill owners have
been misled by them and they are
buying very slowly, With favor
able weather conditions the crop
will be harvested in about four
weeks. The bulk of it is harvested
now. | am informed from what |
consider a reliable source that the
Louisiana crop has nearly all been
harvested and also that it does not
come up to anything like expecta-
tions. Later on in the season when
the Texas crop shall have been
harvested and gradually moved out
it will be seen that a great mistake
has been made in the estimate. In
the meantime a hardship is being
worked on those farmers who. need
money, owing to the slow market. "
From the above it would appear
that the rice grower is confronted
with the same problem that has for
years worried the cotton grower
Those convcrsant with the rice IN
dustry any who have made inves-
LEGATIONS concerning its demand
and consumption, affirm that such
a thing as overproduction is entire
ly out of the question, and it is
stated that the cry of overproduc-
ton in Texas at this time when the
industry is only in its infancy is
ridiculous, and further, that it will
have the effect of crippIing the in
dustry and will prove a backset to
the development of the rice belt.

The Paris nInusetrnn.

Paris has been described as a gigan-
tic mousetrap with three doors labeled,
respectively, hotel, cafe and restaurant.
The city has about 10000 hotels. There
are restaurants in every block, and you
can find cafes at almost every step.
AT almost any restaurant you are sure
Of good cooking. You can eat well any
where and at any price There are
scores Of places where the meals cost
as high as in the better restaurants Of
New York and hundreds where you
can get a very fair dinner for 90 cents,
or, If you would have wine, for 10
cents additional. There is one stock
company which does an enormous busi-
ness In supplying cheap and good food
for Parisians. 1t was founded by a
butcher who has his shops still in diff
ferent paris Il H. city. This company
has 100 o. more restaurants where you
can always be sure of good service. and
good food. You pay for what you eat
and pay for everything, but the prices
are low.
