The Brooklyn Eagle" has infor-
nation that it is the plan of Hearst,
Bryan, and the indefatigable Arthur
Brisbane 10 bolt the st. Louis con-
vention, and in combination with
James B. Weaver, of Iowa, to form
a new party, which shall unite all
dissatisfied elements on a basis Of
Federal ownership of railways, tele-
graphs, and mines. municipal owner
ship of other public utilities, and a
sort of composite money plank, ANAL
gamating the fossilized Bryan silver
theories with the repudiated Weaver
greenback absurdities. We have no
doubt that if there is anything to
bolt at St. Louis, the Hearst people
win bolt it. They have got the bolt
habit, and it is one which Willie's
gold cure aggravates rather than de-
stroys. However. this new party
business looks better on paper than
anywhere else. The first essential
for a new party is unity, and the
only thing that a Bryan, Brisbane
and Weaver combination could be
united upon would be a settled pur-
pose to get as much as possible Of
Hearst's money One doubts the per-
manency of a party the length of the
days of which would depend so abb
solutely on how long the man with
the "bar'p would stand for the drain
at the bunghole.

SUNDAY, MAY Is. 1904.

On the surface, the report of the
Navy Department for the past three
months would indicate that some of
the clerks were showing their re-
sentiment of the demand for half an
hour more Of work a day by soldier
ing" The report declares that less
work has been done with 4:30 o'clock
closing than with 4 o'clock. 1t is TO
be hoped, however, that some pc
culiar conditions really account for
this condition, or. st least, that the
letting up has been unconscious, and
will be remedied. Certainly, if any
of the clerks are deliberately taking
this means of getting square, they
are injuring themselves far more
than they are the Government No
one who does not do the right thing
can reasonably expect a bright and
glorious future.

The Southern Mountaineer.
Strange History Of an Undeyeloped
People.


The death of the millionaire Wentz
has stirred up interest anew in the
mountaineers Of the "feud region"
Of the South
These mountain folk are the de-
scendants of English, Scotch, and
Irish pioneers. such as produced Dan
tel Boone and Simon Kenton. They
pushed westward or southwark from
the lowlands into the mountains,
where they led the lives of hunters in
the early days of the Republic By
the time the richer lowlands were set
tied, slavery made it impossible for
them 10 make a living there. save by
coming into competition with slave
labor; and they continued 10 live a
frugal but Independent life in the
mountains. With no public school
system and no general means of ed
ucation. they naturally lost touch
with the world. Here and there a
boy, with more energy and ambition
than the rest, went out into the world
and won his way. But for fifty years
the Government, 10 these people, was
nothing but a name. II did nothing
for them; it claimed little or nothing
from them. They kept the fashions
and the Ideas Of theiS ancestors. The
family feud is one oA the commonest
things in the world, but most Amer
leans are restrained by fear OF the
law from indulging their feudal an

Such a scoring as Judge Pritchard
gave the guards of the District jail
after hearing the story of a negro
woman, who claimed to have been
misused while prisoner in the Dis
trict Jail. naturally has attracted
considerable attention. AS Warden
Harris says, no one questions the
Judges purpose TO treat all fairly,
but if the Wardep's information be
correct, it would appear that Judge
Pritchard permitted his sympathy
momentarily to outweigh his judic-
ial training. Warden Harris claims

they are falsely accused.

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for "family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmins as" us found
In every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has a wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "made for every stitching pre>
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition will be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer paYil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
In the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, ETC., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these industries. There viii
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tuclSs at once, for
attaching all xmas OF puIlonS' hOokS
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for a thousand or more spe.
cial uses, all interesting and educa.
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing machines for family
use will include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.
