The explosion of an acetylene tank in
Taylor's hotel set fire to the building,
which was a mass OF flames in a very
short time, and famed by the strong
northwest wind, spread rapidly to adj

some time, but did good work not
withstanding the bitter cold. The fire.
men finally succeeded in saving the

the flames there.
The buildings burned were Jacob

South Dakota is considering the es-
tablishment of a twine factory in its
states prison and the object Of the
visit of the warden and board of con-
troll Of the South Dakota institution
to the North Dakota penitentiary was
to famiharize themselves as nearly as
possible with the workings of such
an institution, to obtain the benefit Of
the experience of prison officials in
those states where twine factories
have been established. and to deter
mine upon the feasibility of such an
institution in South Dakota. Twine
making seems to solve many problems
of prison labor. It furnishes continu-
GUS employment for prisoners, among
whom idleness would soon constitute
serious menace to prison discipline
and to the health, both mental and
physical Of those segregated from So
ciety. It furnishes a supply of a neces-
sity in agricultural community that is
controlled by an association of ma
chine manufacturers and thus is an
effectual safeguard against attempts
to raise the price of the commodity
beyond a reasonable limit. It does
not come into competition with organ
lied labor, and thus avoids that fire.
quent and perplexing problem with
which states are confronted when they
manufacture goods such as are made
largely by organizations of laborers.
SO far as the profit to a state is con.
.cerned, if the institution pays it's own
way, the advantages reaped from
other sources are sufficient to recon-
mend such an institution in an agricul
tnral state. Minnesota has long had
Irvine factory that seems to have
been Of profit to the state and benefit
to the people, and to the inmates of the
prison. The North Dakota institution
is making good showing. The prod
uct of the odrinary Irvine factory is al
consumed in the state, so that there
is little danger of getting surplusag'
of product on the market.

STARTLED CARLYLE.

How CHARLES Godfrey LELAND Brought
~. the Cynic to His senses.
~ Charles Godfrey Leland said that on
his first meeting with Carlyle the wise
man showed himself in somewhat
cynical frame of mind, from which he
was aroused only, BY a bit Of whole
some opposition.
"And what kind Of an American may
you be-German or Irish or whatw
Carlyle, asked. s. @-
"Since it interests you, Mr.. Carlyle"
replied Leland, ito know the origin Of
my family may say that am de-
scended from Henry Leland, noted
Puritan, who went to America in 1885,"
II doubt whether any of your family
have since been equal to your old Puri-
tan great-grandfather." growled Car
lyle, and this, combined with some
slurring remarks which he had pre-
viously thrown out In regard to Amer-
lea and her history, reused Leland's
spirit. ~: =.
"Mr. Carlyle" he said deliberately, II
think that my brother, Henry Leland,
who got the wound from, which he
died standing by my side in the war Of
the rebellion, was worth ten of my
old Puritan ancestors. At least he
died in a ten times better cause. And
allow me to say, Mr.. Carlyle, that /
think In all matters Of historical criti.
cism you are principally influenced by
the merely melodramatic and theatric-
al" :%s. .&.s- ~. -
Carlyle looked utterly amazed and
startled, though not at all angry. -
'sWhot's thot ye sayY' he cried in
broad Scotch. . # .,
Mr.. Leland repeated the, remark. A.
grim smile as Of admiration came over
the stern old face. It was with deeply
reflective and not displeased air that
hs replied, still in Scotch. ..N'..,
INA, ma, I'm nae thot" he said. And
he dropped into milder strain and
made the interview an occasion to be
treasured long in memory.

AN ELECTION TRICK.

One sample Of the Dodges to which
4 They Resort In England. l. e~
Canon J. George Tetley tells the fol-
lowing story of the late Justice Den
man, who in 1885 ran for election at
Tiverton,. in England. He was adver-
Hsed to address the electors on GER
tain morning. In order to fulfill his
engagement it was necessary for him
to leave by the 9:15 express. He had
taken the precaution of ordering cab
overnight and was quietly eating an
early breakfast when attention was
called to two or three men who seemed
to be hanging about in the neighbor-
hood of his house. He thought little,
however, of the matter, but presently
sent his servant to put his luggage on
the cab, which was due to arrive. The
cab approached the door, but before
the portmanteau could be located one
of the mysterious strangers jumped in
and was driven rapidly away. j
And when this happened a second
time it became evident that something
very definite was intended. So Mr..
Denman consulted his watch, and, d.
recting his luggage to be sent after
him, he buttoned his coat and. calling
to his aid all his old Cambridge train
ing, took bee line for the station. He
met not one empty cab till too near the
terminus to be Of any service to him.
He dashed through the booking Of
dce" on to the platform, seized the ham
die of a carriage door as the train was
actually starting and flung himself into
a compartment "a -. ..l..et f..
On arriving at Tiverton he found his
committee in a state of extreme anx-
iety which gave place to establishment
and relief on his appearance, for the
walls Of the town were covered with
placards warning the Liberal electors
/ that their candidate would not keep
his engagement to address them.

II has been the aim of American manu-
facturers and the desire of our people TO
increase the exports OF manufactures.
Under the old Democratic regime manu-
factures constituted small item OF our
exports. Under Republican rule they
have steadily increased. During the ten
years ending with 1850 they averaged
10 per cent. of our total exports, and
during the ten years ending with 1850
they averaged IL per cent. of the
whole. During the last ten years OF
Democratic rule our exports of manu-
factured products increased only one per
cent.
The Republican party came into power
In 1850. and during the ten years end
ing with 1870 our exports of manufact-
ured products formed 10 per cent.
OF the total exports: during the ten years
ending with 1890 they averaged IS
per cent. OF the total. and during the
ten years ending with 1900 they were
81 per cent OF the total. In the fiscal
year 1901 they were 2s per cent. OF the
total and in 1902 they were 80 per cent.
of the total.
TIE figures show conclusiyely that the
great system Of American manufactures
and -rur increased exports of manufact-
urei products which contribute 80 largely
to the wealth and prosperity of the coun-
try are due to Republican policies and
administrations.

Bryan's Heyclatiou

Bryan's reception in Indiana shows.
conclusiyely. that the Democrats of tho
Middle West are not yet cured of the
free silver craze, with its accompanying
visions. The silence of the st. Louis
platform on the money question was eio-
qnent. Parker's telegram satisfied the
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent gold standard" candidate TO tho
conservative wing OF the party. while the
silver wing was coolly set aside TO be
fooled and cajoled into good humor dur
ing the campaign.
As a matter of fact, the rank and file
OF the Democratic party stand ON tho
money question and on all others Just
" here they stood in 1896. The logic of
events has not convinced their reason,
because. on economic questions, they
have no reason.
Bryan. who could not carry Indiana
for himself, cannot, of course, carry that
State. or any other State. for Parker.
lie has, however. revealed the ass which
hides under the lions skin, assumed, for
a purpose. by once great national
party.

The Democratic platform accuses tho
Republican party OF an attempt to "kii.
die anew the embers OF racial and sec-
| tional strife"
An incident at the recent American
BANKERS convention in New York illus
trated the falsity of this statement AMI
how, on the contrary. the Republican
party. by policies which promote tho
business prosperity of the South, has
promoted also feeling of mutual good
wall between the better elements, at least,
of the two races
"A colored banker from Richmond. Va.
John w. Mitchell. made n speech which
brought forth tremendous applause in
which the delegates from the South Join
ed with the delegates from the North.
Mr.. Mitchell said he attended the con-
vention not only with the consent. but
upon the advice. OF the white business
men OF the South. He then went on to
show how the prosperity of the Southern
negroes was continually increa sing. and
That this was leading all the time 60 a
better understanding between the better
elements of the two races. As TO the
snare OF the negro in the present phenom-
enai prosperity of the South he said:

The avi3ity with which Judge Parker
and ex-Secretary Olney swallowed the
statement that the Philippines had cost
this country S65000oo0o, and the per-
tinacity with which they cling to it.
after Its falsity has been proved again
and again. are past the comprehension of
persons IN Washington who are familiar
with the real conditions in the Philip
pines.
That the cost OF the Philippines, in
cluding the 10000, 600 paid TO Spain,
amounted, up to May /, 1902. to $780,
OOo.OOo. has been established beyond dis
pute. No Democratic member of either
house of Congress dared to challenge
Secretary Roots statement to that effect.
The cost to this country for the follow
ing year has been shown TO be s., 3,0S0,-
600, and for the year just closed 81. 100,
600, total of S194, 10000. That has
been the actual cost of the Philippines
up to June 80, 1904.
'The statement Mr.. Parker permitted
himself to repeat when he declared that
over 100000 lives have been sacrificed
is equally false. The total loss of life
of American troops and Fihpinos in the
American army from all causes has
amounted to 4067 privates and 155 Off
GERS. total of 4.222 men. Even adding
to this number the loss of Filipino in
surgents. liberal estimate of which is
less than 10000, the grand total aggre-
gates l40n. against Mr.. Parker IS
100000. Moreover. the totals here given
include deaths from wounds, sickness,
drowning and other accidents, and, an
important coniributory cause. the con-
tagious diseases which, unrestrained,
ravaged Americans and Filipinos when
American occupation began. Only 126,-
600 American soldiers, all told, have
been sent 10 the Philippines
AS an Offset to this loss Of life should
be set the magnificent work of the army
medical corps and OF the health officers
OF the Philippine Commission. whose
unremiti.ng efforts have stamped out the
plague, reduced smallpox and other con-
tasious diseases TO a minimum, and rem
dered the Philippines as healthful as

Judge Parker takes a purblind view OF
the possibilities and benefits Of COLOMBIA
ton. Although separated from the coun-
try that pushed "A backward and inferior
race" from the scene OF Judge Parkers
speech to the "Avon Beach Regular
Democratic Club of Long Island" does
he think for moment that England has
not shared in what was conquered for
mankind when the independence OF her
American colonies was achieved?
But. beyond all the narrow, petty, and
mistaken views Judge Parker takes OF
history and the onward and upward
sweep OF national affairs, stands disclos-
ed the fact that the Democratic eandi-
date for President of the United States
Is willing to believe everything evil the
lying tongue of slander can utter against
American government in the Philippines,
solely because there is Republican ad-
ministration in Washington. 1t seems
almost incredible that Presidential can
didate should become the willing herald
OF every lying rumor bred in the pur-
lieus of Manila.
