Pockets.
From the New York Tribune.


This is the time of year when advice on
the subject How to keep cool in warm
weather may be had at small cost In
many instances the students of the subject
look uncomfortable and seem to fare badly
because of the high temperature, but they
persist in making rules for the comfort of
their fellows. and derive much pleasure
from prescribing remedies which will make
the New Yorker forget the discomforts of
the good old summer time. The newest
recruit in the ranks Of the army working
for the relief Of the perspiring public Is the
man who makes war on pockets Take n
mS ms pockets away. sew them up" he
says. and he will be a cooler and better
man In the average pair of trousers there
are three pockets: there are often as many
as five. Then. II the man wears a waist
coat. there are three or four outside pockets
and at least one inside pocket. In the ordi-
nary business coat there are three TO five
pockets. and In all Of these the man carries
something-a bunch of letters a bunch OF
keys. card case. cigar case pencils,
handkerchiefs. match safe. penknife men,
orandum book. cigar cutter tobacco or
cigarette case and scraps Of paper and
pocket pieces. The necessary articles could
be carried in one pocket together with the
mans money. and little pocket could be
reserved for the watch. Leave your trash
and nonsense at home or at your office; t:'y
1t and you will be more comfortable"
There may be something in the warm
weather advice, but 1t will take more than
ordinary summer weather discomfort to
wean the American from the pocket habit
He remembers that the pocket was one OF
his earliest joys. and the things that did
not find their way into it We're only too
large or too far away nailed down. The
chalk and marbles and bits of stone and
twine. the fishhooks. tops and shells, the
chewing gum, apples and firecrackers can
dies. pencils and bells. the knives and
buckles and useless trash of every kind and
description that the boy managed to store
away in his pockets made his parents stare
with wonder. The pocket habit. acquired
in early childhood. did not relax it's hold
on the young man. although what a
catch-all for the boy became more useful
to the man. and aided him in pose and
poise, beside doing service for the night key
and other neceSsareS.

Among the most neglected graves in
the country are those of several of our
Presidents. A correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press makes an appeal
for better care of the grave of Presi-
dent Taylor. which he says has not felt
the toach of a kindly hand for half a
century. The weather beaten granite
blocks of the old tomb are concealed by
ivy. and the memorial shaft near by is
sadly discolored and beginning to de-
sintergrate. 1t seems pity that the
last resting place of our 18th president,
the soldier whose 1000 men swept 10000
Mexicans before them at Buera Vesta.
should be so neglected. Zachary Taylor

tourist who stopped beside his forgot

Platt of New York, age 10, comes the
story of the elopement of Senator Stew

their own minds. The fashion set by
Senator Depew is becoming something

~ Private letters from Japan, which
have escaped censorship, say that while
four -fifths of the Japanese people have
been demanding war with Russia. the
government Is not only holding them
~ check but satisfying them with
promises OF war at some future time
when the national treasury is not so
nearly empty as at the present time.
One missionary writes that the public
feeling there is much as it was in this
country just before the war with
Spain. But Japan is almost bankrupt,
and the most eager advocate of war
realizes the folly of entering upon such
a struggle with an empty treasury.
Perhaps this condition of things Is for
tunate for Japan; anyway 1t is fortu-
nate for Russia and for the cause of
peace.

= The new British ambassador to this
country. Sir Henry Mortimer Durand,
In not fortunate enough to possess an
American wife, but otherwise than
this he seems to be finely equipped for
the important duties of his new post.
Like his immediate predecessors he has
had long experience and marked sue
cess as a diplomat. He Is the first
British representative to come to us
with the rank of an ambassador al
ready attained. This was won by his
work at Madrid, and it is hoped that
his Spanish life and experiences have
not misied him as to our country. His
post at Washington was never more
important than now. but it is much less
difficult to fiji than 1t was few years
ago. There is the firmest friendship
between the two countries and nothing
on the horizon but good will. A most
cordial reception awaits the new am
basSador.

Silver Looking Up.

To be sure Mr.. Bryan fatty denie!
that alleged interview in which he al
lowed that the silver issue is dead, bur
the other man, Prof. Bradshaw of Iowa
says that the interview took place and
he goes into additional details regard
ing it, They will have to settle tine
question of yeracity between them
selves, though perhaps the NEBRASKA
statesman will be no more disposed to
press the matter than he was at the
Bennett will hearing when Judge Stod-
dard branded as false his story of the
way in which that bequest of $4,000 to
himself got into the will. However, the
veraeaty of Bryan is no more an issue
before the country than free silver is,
and the public has little interest in
either.
The interesting thing is that silver is
enjoying a little prosperity at present.
The fidgety price of the white metal is
now tending upward, and the present
bar silver quotation is 61A cents an
ounce During the past year the metal
declined over % per cent in value,
the lowest point it has reached
in the worlds history. In April the
market rallied to "a cents, as compared
with 471: cents an ounce Dec. 1, 1902.
A few days ago bar silver was quoted
at 6223 cents an ounce, but the slight
decline since suggests that those who
believe the rise will be resumed steadily
are doubtless a little off in their reckon
ing. If silver reaches GAL cents an
ounce the Philippine peso will have it's
face value and, if the market price adj
yanc,s the bullion value of the metal
in the peso will be greater than it's face
value heretofore the effect Of such
conditions has been to lead to the melt
ing down and withdrawal from circu-
la ton of such coins. In organizing the
Philippine coinage system margin of
Is cents was provided in view Of a pos
sible rise in silver A few days ago the
silver market rose to within 1877 cents
of the face value Of the peso.
One effect of considerable advance
in the price of silver will be to increase
the PRODUCTION of silver at the mines
and an inevitable result of strong
squirt of activity in this direction will
be drop in the silver market. At
present the government has stopped the
purchase of silver bullion for the Phil
lippine coinage on account of the high
err price, after turning out about 16,0O0,-
900 to 17,OO0,O 900 of the 30,000,OO0 pesos
authorized. These sudden and extensive
fluctuations emphasize anew silver's
utter lack of the stability necessary in
q trust worthy money standard.

Pearx and the Pole.

The magnificent enthusiasm which
animates the purpose of Commander
Peary was shown in every word of
his recent address in Washington
in which he appeals for the funds
necessary for his proposed expe-
dition. There could not well be a
more effective and inspiring pres
entation of the practical aspects of
his theme, or a broader appeal to the
patriotic impulses of our people. His
whole heart is in the work to which he
has given the best years of his life and
to which he is willing to give life itself.
If that be the price of success. In the
face of such faith and determination OH
his part, it would be humiliating if this
country should fail to furnish the finan-
cial backing for the proposed expedi-
ton. The prize to be gained is of
much magnitude, and with Peary ready
for another trip, America is on trial
before the world.
In his address Peary brings out sew
eral new points. One of these is a cit
alton of opinions held by the Duke of
the Abruzzi. Although the gallant Ital-
ian did not himself go further north
than Nansen, other members of his ex
petition did. Both before and after
that venture was made the duke I'M
questionably made a careful study of
the whole subject. The route selected
for his own venture led first to Franz
Josef Land, and then northward. He
would not now advise a repetition of
that experiment, however. and he ap-
pears to be convinced that the path
chosen by Peary has superior advan-
tages. Before he undertook to reach
the pole the Duke of the AbruZzi sue
cessfully climbed Mount st. Elias, in
Alaska, and in other ways manifested
both passion for geographical explor-
alton and a fine intelligence in planning
such work. Hence his ideas about
routes to the pole have peculiar value.
Another noteworthy feature of the
address is Peary's comment on the
\ suggestion that the world already
knows all that is necessary about the
North pole. No one ever having gone
within two hundred and fifty miles OF
it, It is absolutely impossible to say
what is there. 1t seems to be sur
rounded by ocean, but in science moth
ing can be taken for granted. Only a
few years ago it was supposed that
| Greenland extended all the way up te
the pole and far beyond toward Asia
Peary, by following up the brilliant
work of Lockwood and Brainerd, found
that it's northern boundary scarcely
