MI. Bryan and MI. Cleveland.

Says the Philadelphia Press:
when Bryan has settled everything else
he might turn himself loose on the race
problem"
There Is no reason why he should. Mr..
Bryan. like Mr.. Clevelssj. Is sufficiently on
record on the race problem. The votes of
those southern states where the negro has
been DISTINGUISHED by one means or another
have twice been cast for Mr.. Bryan.
and he made no protest Why should he
make one now7 Depend upon 1t, he will
make none Note Mr.. Cleveland's eloquent
and graceful silence on the same subject
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland are tine two
men in this country who have profited most
by the race problem as 1t now exists. Why
should they want to disturb It?

pewter mug as gift to his manager. He
missed the tender and had to hire tug to

trif1e but the tug cost big sum. and now
the actor, on landing in New York, swears

his investment has brought him much more

Regulating Automobiles.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The extent to which the speed ordinance
Is violated by chauffeurs is shown by the
daily arrests which are made in this city,
and indicates that in many cases automo-
biles are driven by those who are either
crtminally reckless or crfminally ignorant
The enforcement of ordinances which has
been begun upon the boulevards anu else
where should be kept up until they are COM
piled with. Even then there probably will
be accidents. but the danger will at least
be minimized. The prejudice against the
automobile will soon disappear when chauf-
feurs comply with the speed laws and par
ticularly the chauffeurs Of so-calIed devil
wagons" 1t is recognized that, unlike the
bicycle, motor carriages have come to stay.
In time they will become cheaper and more
manageable. At present they are largely
owned by those who can afford to use them
for pleasure. which Is a temptation to use
them for speed .-.N

Indiana and Mr.. Cleveland.

There Is information in trust circles that
the Indiana democrats are turning to Mr..
Cleveland. Convinced. It is said, that Mr..
Roosevelt Is daily losing ground In conser
vative circles in his own party, and that
strong nomination by their party will bring
the presidency within reach they have de-
termined to put their best foot foremost
and enlist under the Cleveland banner. 1t
is pretty story. but deficient in particu-
lars.
Are the old friends Of Mr. Hendricks very
prominent in this movement? Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Hendricks were about as i'll
assorted pair as ever travelled in double
harness. 1t was with great difficulty that
the Indianian could be persuaded to make
the race, and this Mr. Cleveland seemed
never able to- forget Mr.. Hendricks lived
but a short time after taking office, but
long enough to develop serious differences
with his chief. and to make 1t plain that
the association was very unpleasant to
him. When he died Mr.. Cleveland did not
attend the funeral. 1t was explained that
he was advised in his course by those who
thought he ought not to take the railroad
risk of the journey. But his absence was
resented by many of Mr.. Hendricks
friends
And how about the old friends Of Mr..
voorhees,? They are nearly all silver men.
and they deeply regretted the course their
old favorite took under Mr.. Cleveland's In
f1uence in the fight over the repeal Of the
purchasing clause Of the Sherman act.
What has lately occurred to make Mr..
Cleveland SO very attractive in their eyes?
Then there are the friends Of the late
John G. Shanklin. In 1892 Mr.. Shanklin
was a candidate for the democratic nomi-
nation for governor Of Indiana, and had
good prospects of success. He was a Cleve-
land man. and wanted the state delegation
to the democratic national convention in
structed for the New Yorker But Isaac P.
Gray played the 'favorite SON. game and
obtai ned instructions for himself. He like
wise defeated Mr.. Shanklins gubernatorial
aspirations because of Mr.. Shanklins op-
position to his presidential aspirations. At
the Chicago convention that year Mr.. Gray
traded the Indiana vote to the Cleveland
people for the promise of the ministership
to Mexico and got the place. Mr.. Shanklin
In the distribution of the national patronage
got nothing.
There may be good soil In the middle sec
ton OF the country for the Cleveland boom,
but all things considered. one would hardly
expect to find 1t in Indiana.

The Fall Showing
of Rugs

OF Rugs
is an unusual exposition of color
blending and design making. Those
who appreciate the beauties of the
former and the originality of the lat
ter will find much to enjoy in an in
speetion of the present collection Of
floor coverings.
Space and light have been pro-
vided generously that the beauty
and detail of the many designs may
be effectively displayed. Whether
purchasing or otherwise you will be
most cordially welcome.
Progress in the art of rug weav-
ing has been great. The old style
carpet and border rug with its raw
edge seams and mismatched mitres,
so soon worn loose, has given place
to the woven corner rug with few
seams and perfectly matched pat
tern. And the machinery that made
this improvement possible altered
the initial cost of manufacture to an
extent that enabled the maker to
market the. new rug at a smaller
price than the old.
Only such makers as have an es-
tablished reputation are allowed rep
resentation The name of Bigelow
stands for all that is best in Body
Brussels, Administers and Wiltons;
that of Imperial for Smyrna; Rox-
bury for Tapestry; Kashmir for Cot
ton. The product of each is here in
the newest patterns.
Equally prominent with the high
class rugs are those of a less expen-
sive character. There is no scarcity
of either, and all sizes are in evil
dencs from the I8x36-inch mat to
the I2xI8 rug. And if larger sizes
are wanted they can be had with
but trif1ing delay.

Dies Moines, July S.-Usually warm
weather prevailed during the last
week from Monday morning to Fri
day night. The rainfall was IN
equally distributed, some very heavy
showers occurring in the northwest
quarter of the state. In all districts
the amount of moisture is ample for
the needs of the crops and generally
there has been but little hindrance by
wet weather. Corn has made rapid
growth, and the early planted fields
are being laid by in good condition.

There can be no doubt that one rea-
son why cities did not grow so rapidly
in the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles as in the nineteenth is the ex-
cessively high death rate that pre-
vailed during the earlier period The
food of immigration, mighty as it was,
did little more than make good the
places of those citizens who fell vic
tins to grievous sanitary conditions.
From the facts that can be obtained
it seems to have been universally true
that almost up to the beginning of the
nineteenth century the death rate OF
large cities exceeded the birth rate
This was not because the birth rate
was abnormally low, but because the
death rate was abnormally high. In
the medieval city both birth rate and
death rate We're far higher than at

Consul King David,

This amusing anecdote of Lamartine
Is related by the Baroness Blonde in
her volume of letters: Shortly after
the revolution of February he wrote
on the blank leaves of his pocketbook
the names of his protcgecs and sent
the list to be provided with places i'm
mediately. Previously. however, it
seems. he had scrubbed David" on
the page. and the head of the cahinet
appointed the said David consul at
Bremen; the poStulant, however. never
came forward, and. though the poet did
not like being disturbed. NJ Hetzel
was obliged to ask who was the David
on his list.
HE who danced before the ark"
was the answer.
''Oh, dear! l have gazetted him to
Bremen
How very singular. l meant him
for subject for meditation. not for
nomination. But you can cancel it
The moniteur registered the change,
but few knew that the last consul ap-
pointed to Bremen was King David!
