VICE PRESIDENT NoNENTITl
Writer Declares Second Official of the
 Nation Elected Merely to "Loaf s Around Throneo

The vice president is the only official nonentty in our system of government, says Leslie's Monthly. He is elected for four years to loaf around the throne and wonder what is going to happen. Incidentally he presides over. the senate when in session, if he feels like 1t, but Is not member of that body, and has no speaking acquaintance with any subject before it. The senate makes it's own rules and construes them, and the vice president is pre- sumed to comrait this fact to memory He has no patronage, no vote in public affairs, no seat at the council table no push nor pull anywhere in the scheme of government--but Is like a second husband agreed on in advance and held In suspense and suspicion who as matter of taste must not ob trude himself upon the marriage feast nor the bridal tour. His business is to keep still. He is the great Ameri can clam, and is held in escrow pend ing conditions which 1t is hoped will never occur to make him shuck him self and cUru1 out in the open. Though he be man of parts, his political posi- .tion Is triumph of nonentity.

HORSES LIVE IN FLATS.
Space So Valuable in New York That Stables of More Than One Story
 Are Necessary.

Ground space is so valuable in New York that, like many other buildings stables have long been built upwards ir many stories, with stalls for the horses on floors above the ground: so that there lare now In the city thousands of horsei that may be said to live in flats. Stables of six stories are no longer considered remarkable, and in many of these horses are now stalled on three floors, these upper stories being reached by runways says the Sun.
 All of these tall, modern stables have an elevator big enough and strong enough to carry to the upper floor any vehicle, and In at least one downtown boarding place for horses the elevator Is used for the animals, also. Out of 15t horses kept in this stable there are per. haps 8 score that are more or less ofter hoisted to their rooms, or stalls, at night and they also bring down some horses in the same way. The horses like fl and stand steady on the elevator plat. form and are hoisted without trouble In fact they have one fine horse that will not travel from the ground floor tc it's stall in any other way. When this horse comes in and is unlocked at night 1t walks straight over to the elevator and waits t0 b5 a0isted up; and when 1t is cast loose in It's stall in the morning, il makes straight for the elevator again.

THURSDAY, sEPTENrBER 8, 1904.

The Connecticut democrats, or at least their representatives, in conven- tion at New Haven, did a good day'a work yesterday. One of the most har- monious conventions that has been held in years placed in nomination n ticket that has brought together all factions of the party, and democratic victory is already in the air. The in- ternal differences in the republican party and the attempts to turn down the present executive will make the work of the democrats so mnch easier. The candidate of the democratic party, A. Heaton Robertson, is we'll known in this city, as well as throughout the state, and he will without a doubt make great showing. The placing of Attorney William Kennedy on tho ticket for congressman-atlaTge pleases Waterbury, and this end of the stare generally. The ex-senator adds strength to the ticket, and he will bo in the running all the time, as ous townsman, the Hon MT LdI1ey, will realize. The whuae ticket is a tower of strength, and already coats are of and good work is being accomplished for it's success in November.

WrLDOAT sPoILs SALE.
Minneapolis Man and Wife Concluded They Didn't Want Home by Lake.

Springing ferociously out from the bushes in which it had been hidden and making an unsuccessful leap for F. F. Swensen, fierce wildcat spoil cd nice real estate deal for MT. Swensen. MT. Swensen who owns some ground near Wayzeta and is desirous of selling 1t at profitable figures, was approached by a man and his wife who were anxious to have a summer home on Lake Mime tonka
 sBuy at Wayzeta," advised MT. Swensen "It's at the head of the lake, a most delightful situation, and the nearest to the city-only short ride on the Great Northern railroad, you know I can sell you magn1fi- cent lot cheaply out there"
 So he took the couple out to show them the ground. "Isn't this really and truly delightfuIY'' said the wife. "This is the spot for an ideal summer home"
 The husband agreed, and when he was about convinced that the price was not exorbitant the wildcat sprang from the bushes, his goal apparently being Mir. Swensen's head. But it missed it's prey, and becoming fright ened by the screams from the party, disappeared back in the bushes.
 Hair on the heads of the men stood straight up, 1t seemed, as the result of fright, and the woman screamed hysterfcally. After considerable diff ficulty she was revived and her nerves were calmed and then the man and his wife lost no time getting back to town.
 When MT. swensen finally rallied contract for the sale of the lot be drawn by the woman invoIuntarfly screamed again and the man replfed curtly that he guessed he wouldn't invest in lake property just now. Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune.

The foreign commerce report recent ly issued by the department of com- merce and labor ds especially interest ing because of the figures relating to the export of manufactured goods, says an exchange. The exports of manufactures, it is surprising to note, now exceed in value the exports of az ricultural products. Tn the month of July manufactures exported amounted to $40,000,O0O, against $31, 100000 of agricultural products; and in June manufactures amounted to SAP, GOO 900, against $37, ,250,O00 of agricultural pro. ducts. Likewise in May manufactured exports exceeded agricultural exports, Other months will change this rela. ton, and it should not be understood that manufactured exports yet regular ly exceed in total amount agricultural exports. Nevertheless it is plain that we are approaching such condition. In the fiscal year which ended June 30 agricultural products formed a smaller percentage of the total exports than ever before, failing for the first time below 60 per cent. In 1880 agricul- tural products formed s3 per cent of the total exports; in 1890, "A per cent, and in 1904, 59.4 per cent. Manufac. tures in 1880 formed 12.4 per cent of the total exports; in 1890, IFS per cent, and in 1904, 81.52 per cent. Man. ufactures exported in 1880 amounted to $1O3, 100000, and in 1904, $452, 2,O0o,- 900, an increase of $40 per cent in the twenty-four years. Agricultural ex, ports, while less relatively, are greater absolutely, being $S53, ,O00oOo in 1904, against $es6,ooO,OO0 in 1880. It is likely that within ten years our ex- ports of manufactured goods will fegl1- larly exceed in value our exports of agricultural products, and this in tho face of the fact that the total of our agricultural production is steadily growing larger.

Theodore Roosevelt started out in politics as an outspolcen and ardent free trader. This means, as we all know not refqrnation of the tariff, but complete abolishment of all d1l- ties and therefore of all customs reve- nues. He joined free trade club in New York and continued his member ship during all the time he was a member of the assembly and until after the nomination of James G.. Blaine in 1884 In the Life of Thomas Fl. Benton, Author Roosevelt writes, among other things, in regard to tho tariff as follows: Political econo> mists have pretty generally agreed that protection is vicious in theory and harmful in practice; but if the majority of the people in interest wish 1t, and 1t affects only themselves, there is no earthly reason why they should not be allowed to try the ex- pertinent to their hearts content The trouble is that 1t really does affect only themselves, and in 1928 the evil was peculiarly aggravated on account of the unequal way in which the pro posed law would affect different sec tions It purported to benefit the rest of the country, but it undoubtedly worked real injury to the planter states, and there 1s small ground for wonder that the Irritation over it In the region affecteds should have been so intense."
