The Field of Politics.
Democratic Joy.

Democratic Joy.
There is joy in Democratic circles
over the action Of the Iowa convention
in refusing 10 have anything to do with
the silver question. The leaders of the
party who are in tho city laud the plat
form adopted, and they say that it pre-
sages a national platform with the Kan
sas City money plank left out. The &C
ton of the convention seems to be the
beginning of something like a revolt, and
it is said that Mr. Bryan may not be
allowed TO cut as large a figure in the
next national convention as It was ex-
pected he would
1t is only a few weeks ago that it
was announced that Mr.. Bryan would
attend the convention at the head of
the Nebraska delegation, and that he
would dominate the convention and plat
form, preventing the introduction Of any
of the ideas of the Eastern wing of the
party in the planks. Now. as a result
of the Iowa gathering. it seems just
possible that the purposed situation is
going to be reversed, Mr.. Bryan being
the one who is to be prevented from
imposing his ideas upon the delegates.
It seems that the 1earer the convention
approaches, the stronger grows the be-
lief that the Kansas City platform
should be ignored.
Among these who have expressed opin-
ions on the subject since the conyen-
ton acted is Representative Lamb, OF
Virginia; Former Senator Pugh, Rep
resentative Padgett, of Tennessee, and
one or two others. They are unanimous
in the belief that the issues Of the
two last campaigns should be aban-
doncd Mr.. Lamb is quoted as saying
that Mr. Bryan's platform lost the party
two elections, and that IT would be folly
for the leaders TO listen to him again
He continued:
I'm Virginia we favor a man occupy
ing middle ground. We do not want {
Bryan man and neither do We want {
Cleveland man We must have candi-
date who represents both wings Of the
party. and this sort of a man cannot
hope for victory on a Bryan platform.
Former Senator Pugh called the Kan
sas City platform a back number. and
one that should not be brought before
the country again. Consequently, i
seems that the Kansas City instrument
is going to be buried deeply in oblivion
unless Mr.. Bryan should develop more
strength than he is now displaying, and
control the convention.

Kaiser Dislikes Frankfort.

Kaiser Wilhelm's recent visit to the
city of Frankfort on-the-M Main in order
TO attend the national championship
competition Of the singing societies Of
the German empire was signalized by a
manifestation of his resentment against
its municipality. The competition last
ed over several days. and every evening
both he and the Empress travelled TO
Wiesbaden by rail to spend the night at
the palace there, returning by train on
the following morning. He absolutely
refused to pass a night at Frankfort or
20 accept the hospitality of the city
Il seems that on the occasion when he
was at Frankfort with the Empress some
years ago they were entertained at the
leading hotel of the place during their
two days stay as the guests OF the city.
The latter subsequently declined TO pay
the hotel bill on the ground that II was
exorbitant. and the hotel proprietor was
Obliged to go to law IN order TO recover
the amount thereof from the municipali-
ty. the trial leading to n discussion In
the court of the various items OF ex-
pense, which was most annoying to the
Emperor and Empress. The Kaiser was
so angry. indeed. that he declared he
would never accept again the hospitality
of this. the richest and most prosperous
city OF his monarchy.

PARDONS
THREE FILIPINOS
Sentenced to Hang-Had Been Com
muted to Life Imprisonment.

The President has pardoned three
Filipinos who were convicted before
military commissions. Pedro Abad San
tos had been sentenced to be hanged for
murder, but the department commander
in the Philippines had committed the
sentence to Imprisonment at hard labor
in the Preside dc Manila.
The other men were Jose Athena and
Felix Athena, who were convicted OF
murder and OF being guerrillas. They
had been sentenced TO be hanged, but
the sentence was committed to life i'm
prisonment
The pardons were recommended by
Governor Taft because of the fact that
the offenses grew out Of the instruction
and because the Presidents amnesty
proclamation of July 4. 1902, did not
cover the cases of the prisoners.

Quick Lunch Starts a Stampede in
Cockneytown.

We tremble to think of the conse-
quences. Deep shudders run through
the Yankee body polite at the
thought. Statesmen grow grave and
bend beneath the weight Of new re-
sponsibilities. The curmudgeon, that
bird Of woe, sits brooding on her nest
Matching out eggs Of discomfort into
stout chickens Of future desolation.
What, oh, what, if the Englishman
should become Americanized? What
then will become of us7
On the Strand, in London, the first
quick lunch restaurant-American
style-was opened for business on
Monday. The Lancet" had sOlemnly
warned Englishmen against it.
Preachers had Numbered against it
from their pulpits. Physicians in sol

this yankee innovation"
In vainl The quick lunch opened.
II was raining heavily, but all London
tried to get into the place at once.
Hash, pie, buckwheat cakes and ma
pie syrup went down unaccustomed
throats in such torrents that in short
time the place was cleaned out, licked
up and empty. And London clam

In the Court OF Appeals yesterday
Justice Seth Shepard reversed the de-
cision of the lower court in the case
of Frederick l. Allen, Commissioner Of
Patents, VS.. The Regina Music Box Com

of a label. The Regina Company had
obtained a writ OF mandamus requiring
the Commissioner of Patents TO register

legations and ruling of the Commits
sioner, was not descriptive OF the article
upon which It was 10 be placed.
The lower court thought the Commits
sioner was wrong in the matter and
ordered him to register the label The

decision and sustains the Commissioner.

Intimate With the Car.

intimate With the Gar.
Prince Louis and Nicholas II have long
been intimate friends and cronies.
The Gar has but to give the word go"
to the prince, or even a mere nod, and
General Bonaparte" would appear in
France, no longer as a mere visitor, but
as a leader of the movement for the
restoration of the Napoleonic empire.
This is the key to the situation in
France. And If the republic is not en-
tirely at the mercy Of the Car, the lat
ter has, at any rate. the power to deal 1t.
without risking a single Russian soldier
save his cavalry general, Prince Louis
Bcnaparte-the most staggering blow
which 1t has received since its founda-
ton at the close of the Franco German
war OF 1870.
In order TO appreciate the importance
OF the honor Just conferred upon Prince
Louis, It may be explained that the Rus
sian order Of st. Andrew is only held by
five persons of non-royal rank in Europe
namely. President Loubet, ex-President
Casimir- Perier, and the Marquis de
Montebello (who was removed from his
post Of French ambassador at st. Peters,

Many Things in His Favor.

And the statesman went on TO say:
You see he has so many things IN his
favor-the mighty name. the Russian
connection. which is still a great spell
with the masses, and. above all. the
masterful personality of the true die
tator whom the country may need. Per-
sorality is everything in France. His
very coldness, reserve, and absence of
cordiality has had the effect Of strength
ening his position as the coming man in
France"

A Deserted Leader.
Colonel Bryan's Influence Receives a
Painful Shock in Iowa.

The detection of the Iowa Democ-
racy is the latest and most crushing
blow to Colonel Bryan's cherished as
plratiOns to continued party leader
ship. In Iowa his following, inherit
ed chiefly from Weaver, Weller, and
the other organizers of the Greenback
movement, has managed for several
years past to retain its grip on the
Democratic organization, defeating
with encouraging regularity the forces
which took their guidance from old
fashioned Jeffersonians like Horace
Boies.
Even in 1901 and 1902, in the
teeth of the general reaction of senti-
ment against Organism and the disas-
trous failures Organism had led to.
the Iowa Democracy held firm to its
faith in the Nebraska orator and in
the exploded issues on which he had
twice staked his political fortunes.
Two years ago, after hot fight in the
convention, an out-and-out free silver
coinage plank was inserted in the
State platform. In 1902 a less ag-
gressive stand was taken; but the in
fuenee of Colonel Bryan's friends was
still shown to be paramount.
This year the deluge has come. For
the Iowa Democrats have not only re-
pudiated the unlucky silver issue, but
have boldly refused to recognize as
valid any part or portion of the Kan
sas City platform. By a vote of
463 80 to 354 Ito the Des Moines
convention rejected a resolution in
dorsing the last national platform,
thus allying the party In Iowa with
the 'reorganizers" in other States
whose set purpose is to end the Ne
braska orators career and to destroy
forever his influence as a writer of
Democratic platforms or a maker of
Democratic candidates.
With Iowa gone Colonel Bryan can
count now on the loyalty Of but a
handful of Western States. Nebras-
Ike he still has, and perhaps Kansas,
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
and Colorado. Missouri has not as
yet repudiated the Kansas City plat
form, but on the sincere support of
the Missouri politicians the editor of
"The Commoner" can by no means
count. Apparently, therefore, he will
enter next years national convention
with hardly more than 100 delegates
ready to make "last ditch" fight foI
reafirmation of the doctrines of
1896 and 1900.
This is not an imposing following
for a party Warwick Yet we have
Colonel Bryan's word for it that he
will have TO be heard before next
years resolutions are drawn and next
years candidate is nominated. And
we are confident that though only
Kansas and Nebraska finally rally t.
his banner, he will yet be found pro
testing against a repetition in nation
al councils Of the exhibition of recan
tation just given by the Iowa Demo

Here are five mice. Turn them up

Cane That viii Obey Orders.

II you want to astonish your young
friends at your next party, here is a
way you can do 1t.
The success of the trick depends on
the well-known fact that all bodies
have some electricity in them, and
that it is only necessary to wake the
electricity to make them active.
Take sheet of paper for example,
and rub 1t briskly with a brush or
with your hand, and you will find that
il will stick to your hand or your
clothes, much as If it were glued there.
Rub a piece of glass in the same way,
and il will attract TO itself any light
thing, such as a scrap OF cork or a
pith-ball.
1t is with an electrified drinking.
glass that this trick may be per-
formed.
Place a chair in the middle Of the
floor. and on the back of IL balance a
walking stick, telling the spectators
that you are going to make the stick
fall off the chair without touching
either of them and without even blow
Ing on the SUCK.
Having first thoroughly dried the
glass. rub ii with a brush or on your
sleeve and hold ii near one end of the
stick
The Weakened electricity in the glass
will at once attract the stick and make
il swing in any direction that you
move the glass, so that you may make
good your promise and draw the stick
out Of equilibrium whenever you
please.
You may substitute for the walking
stick if You choose, a cane fishing rod
or a bamboo feather buster handle.
All you have to do is 10 balance it
nicely on the back of the chair, where
it will swing so easily that the small.
quantity of electricity in the glass
will attract it.
The trick is better performed in dry
weather. for il the air is damp the
electrical effect is much weakened
