ANOTHER IOWA IDEA.

The Indianapolis Sentinel. like many other good Democratic papers and indi- viduals. Supported MT. Bryan and free the thing to do. but the paper is im- mensely pleased at the action of the Iowa Democrats in refusing to try to galvan- ize a corpse. The Sentinel declares that there is a small but noisy contingent of the Democratic party whose ideas are always in the past-perfect tense. and they want to fight oyer questions that have been disposed of long ago while the en- emy is making new aggressions in other quarters" and then adds
 All hail to Iowa! She has set a good example. The Democratic party, if 1t is ever to amount to anything, must get rid of the control of statesmen who never recognize an issue until it gets past them and they look at it's back What the party needs is the guidance of men who know an issue when they see it's face It needs to get off day-befoFe- yesterday basis and come right down to date That Is where the American people are living, and you cannot awaken any interest in Republican leaders have turned down their Iowa idea" but the Democrats will be chumps If they do not take theirs up.
 This Democratic Iowa idea, like the Re- publican one was in theory, is a good one, and we do not believe the Democrats of the country will turn their backs on 1t as the others have apparently done Sound currency, opposition to the trusts and correction of tariff evils are prominent features of the Democratic Iowa idea and they are good things to stand on. Dem ocrats all over the country can find some thing in the action of the late convention at Des Mgoines to draw hopeful conclu- sions from.

The Action of Iowa Democrats a Dis
 tinct Snub.
Chicago Chronicle (Dem.)

Chicago Chronicle (Dem)
 The important thing with relation to the action of the Iowa Democrats is not that they refused to reafttrm the Chicago and pudiated the leadership of William J. DsES@( dood or bad, the Chicago and Kansas City platforms are things of the past and there Is no more reason why they should be reaffirmed at this time than there IS for the readoption of the platform of 1S40.
 In declining to proStrate themselves be- fore this fetich the Democrats of Iowa as serted a manly independence and admin istered a rebuke to MT. Bryan which would not be lost upon a less fanatical and self-assertive person.
 The gentleman from Nebraska has in sisted upon and commanded perpetual re . made his disgPaceful campaigns in 1895 and 1900. ne answer of Iowa Democrats to this impudence and folly Is a platform are alike ignored.
 Democrats are getting far enough away from the delusions of 1896 to be able to appreciate the fact that MT. Bryan is the only man ever selected for leadership in their party who has presumed on that fact to the extent of maintaining a boss ism at once proscrptlVe and insolent
 Greater and better Democrats than he have had Presidential nominations and whether successful or not, have made no attempt to dragoo their party, to dictate its policies or to name it's candidates Not one of the leaders of the Democratic party prior to 1896 undertook to lay down hard and fast rules of party action or to limit the membership of that organization. All were men of good judgment, of modesty, of reserve who appreciated the honor conferred upon them and who did not need to be told that the power which, set them up was entirely able to select their successors and to determine its policies in other particulars.
 Not Content with the opportunities sup Hlied by a phenomenal capacity to make speeches Mfr. Bryan has equipped him. self with a venomous little newspaper in the columns of which 1t is his practice to issue orders of life and death upon Dem ocrats everywhere.
 Democrats have received much attention from him. They have been caJoled and threatened They have been admonished with all the awful authority of an exag- gerated regularity" They have been en- treated to adhere to one stupid idea even to the extremity of schisms and bolts. Crazy last ditchism never had a more in- Hated and ludicrous exemplar.
 The important thing about the action of the Iowa Democrats, therefore, Is the fact

The Hard Working Human Heart.

Harpers Weekly.
 Some one with an aptitude for statistics has been doing little calculating on the subject of the human heart and it's ac- tivities. The normal heart, it appears. beats about seventy-five times in min something like APO beats Supposing that a man lived to be fifty, his heart would have beaten 1892 10000 times. If a son or this man. more robust than his father, should fill out the Scriptural allotment Of three-score years and ten, his heart beats would number 2,649, ,O24,O00.

Department of Commerce.

An impression seems to have obtained that the new Department of Commerce would have a number of fresh jobs to give out on the fJst of July. All the important posts of the Department have been filed and the minor vacancies will be supplied from the eligible list as cer- tiffed by the Civil Service Commission.
 Secretary Cortelyou, if Congress had adopted his recommendations, would have many places to be filled, but the appro- priations were pretty much limited to the pay of the various bureaus taken out of the old departments. It is still contem- plated that the new Department of Com merce will largely expand as soon as a good opportunity can be had to get the ear of Congress for the essential where xyith

New Way to Grow Sugar Cane.

Havana Cablegram to New York Sun.
 A committee of the Planters Society has made a report on a special mode of growing sugar cane which has been tried here. 1t consists of planting the cane in rows four yards apart each plant or group of shoots being three yards from the next thus allowing the roots and foliage full scope.
 Only those shoots and pieces of cane which are full grown are cut. the smaller ones being left to ripen. The committee says that by this means the yield to the acre is enormously increased It Is said that the yield in weight of cane of the was made was 100 per cent greater than Is obtained by the present method. by which the cane is grown much, closer. Further experiments will be made,

The Chattanooga News tells Mir Cleve- land that he is not following in the footsteps of the fathers in sourting "a third term as President of his country. |" It would be useless. of course. to remind The News that MT. Cleveland is not in any manner "courting a third term" The fact that he has more sense and more regard for propEiety than to come out and reject something that has never been offered him makes no difference with newspapers which are determined not to represent him fairly.

Cardinals Locked Up In
Vatican.
FIRST VOTE TOMORROW
A Prophecy Recalled That Points TO
Vannutelli as Man Who
VIII Be Pope.

Rome, July Sl.-The conclave which
viii elect successor to Pope Leo XIII
began today. The cardinals this morning
entered the Vatican for the last time pre-
paratory to their involuntary imprison-
ment until new Pope is elected The
first ceremony Of the conelave proper was
the mass Of the Holy Ghost, celebrated in
the Pauline chapel BY Cardinal 0reglia
Mgr. Sardi pronounced the sermon in
which he exhorted the members of the
college Of cardinals to make prompt and
holy election, choosing from among them
q most worthy and sublime dignitary as
Christs's vicar on earth. After the ser
mon the Sistine choir sang Vea Creator,
and then the couelavists marched IN pro-
cession to the Royal hall Then they
entered the Sistine chapel where the bulls
regulating the conelave were read and the
oaths Of secrecy were administered.
Prince Chini, as the heriditary marshal
ol the eonclaYe, cleared the Vatican of ali
except those permitted to enter the CON
elaye while the Cardinal c Camerlengo, with
three other cardinals, inspected the doors
and windows to see that all was secure.
Finally, when all was found In order Car
ainal 9reglia locked the last door upon the
inside, while Prince Chini locked it Oh the
outside and stationed himself there to pre-
vent the approach Of all unauthorized per-
sons.
The session this evening viii be spent
in informal discussion Tomorrow morn
ing the first ballot for Pope win be Ia
ken.
Prophecy Points to vRnnuteIli.
People are now recalling a prophecy
which at the tilue 1t was made caused
considerable talk. Many years ago the
late Cardinal Parocci who was not
then even bishop one day met mn old
won .0l the eoEy..yy .'ree SID Ii him,
TIE bishop 0f santa Rufina will be
tie next pope The woman refused to
say anything more Parocchi repeated
the tale, which gained added circulation
when he was appointed to that see,
and before his death he was considered
to be the most likely successor Of Pope
Leo. When Parocchi was dying he re
peated the story Of the prophecy. The
hishoprlc Of Santa Rnfina was after
ward given to Cardinal Serafino Van
nutelli
The representatives or France, Ans
tria, Spain, Prussia, Portugal Russia,
Bavaria aud Belgium accredited to the
Vatican have informed Cardinal Ore

their respective governments have re-
ceiyed from the Italian foreign office

A RUNAWAY.
Exciting Time on Main street This Fore
noon.

Exciting Time on Main street This Fore
noon,
Considerable excitement was aroused
on Main street this morning when a team
containing a young man who was driving
and lady with little child came dash
ing mp the street at breakneck pace, the
driver seeming to have no control over the
horse.
When in front Of Badger & AIeLeanis S
store the woman, having placed her baby
IN the bottom of the wagon, grabbed the
reins from the driver and pulled the horse
across the car track and up behind the
American Express team, which was stand
ing at the curbing where it stopped. When
the train crossed the car track ii barely
escaped going in the ditch which is being
dug BY the Telephone company.
The lady and the child were uninjnred
but were badly frightened
The horse belongs to Pappin, the livery
man and was considered safe for anyone
to drive. John Little, who works for Pap
pin, was driving the horse and went to
the 10. 10 Wells River train to take the
lady to Graniteville. When they left the
station the horse started on the run and
Little was unable to manage 1t.

ADDITIONAL CARRIER
FOR BARRE P0ST0FFICE
VIII Begin His Duties Tomorrow
Earl NJ. Lewis VIII Be
The Nan.

The Barre postoffes has been allowed
an additional letter carrier, and Postmas-
ter Bisbee hopes to be able TO start him on
Saturday morning, August lst The se-
nior substitute, Earl NJ. Lewis. viii be the
new regular carrier. Until October 1st
the new carrier will serve only e.half
time. four hours daily He will make
business delivery on Main street com
meneing at the postofiice and work north.
He viii also make collection trip for 9TH
er carriers to enable them to take In addi-
tiOnal territory contiguous to their present
routes. The additional territory taken IN
win be such as was approved by Inspector
Connolly when he was in the city TO report
on the necessity for additional service. 1t
includes Aver street to the bride, Orange
street and up 70 and including Nelson
street IN that section Of the city Sixth
street and several houses win be added to
the various parts Of the city.
The persons residing in territory to be
taken in have been supplied with census
sheets to be filed out by them and return
ed to post Office to enable their mail to be
sorted to proper carrier; but delivery will
not be made at any house In that territory
which is not properly numbered, and the
number on the house before the delivery
begins.
II is to be regretted that in laying out
the work it is found more than one house
on the same street has the same number,
and that there are two streets of the same
name in the city. This might be avoided
II the street commissioners would name
the street, and post the street sign on 1t,
when the gtrank 4 laid ont n xpould aTen
be easy for them TO determine at which
end of the street the numbering should be-
gin, and by allowing the required number
of front feet for each number just what
the number Of each house on the street
ought to be. Then no owner or lessee of
a house ought to attempt to number the
house without consulting the city author-
ties.
