sonr ITALICS.

Much merriment has been provoked by the use the Congressional Record has been put to in advertising what the Republicans consider the best features of their program in the present cam paign. Mir. Mccleary of Minnesota obtained permission to print his re marks on a certain House bill. provid- ing for the election of delegate from the Territory of Alaska MT. oimsted of Pennsylvania obtained the same per
 mission. The little bit of parlia- mentary strategy. by which the leader of the minofity, denied the majority the privilege of printing in the Record speeches on every conceivable topic after the adjournment wrought havoc in many directions and in particular upon the monumental tabulating and forecasting skill of General Grosvenor, of Ohio. Fortunately for the Repub- licans and the country as well. the Minnesota and Pennsylvania statesmen, Messrs McClary and Olmsted were able to uncover in one days proceedings leave to print on the bill giving Alaska a delegate. Of course there is not a word as to the delegate in the speeches. To have said anything about Alaska would have distracted the reader from a calm consideration of the tarin question and the personality of the President. These two speeches were not freigfted with the great mass of material reproduced here from many places, on the tariff and the President. without debate and concert in various quarters. This. particular number of the Record shows the Republican managers look to the tariff and the Presidents character as furnishing the real battle ground of the campaign. And this is so irrespective of any dec- larations at Chicago.
 The member from Minnesota thinks much in italics and his speech is strewn with these. There is one paragraph that he Is likely to hear a great deal about in which the emphatic lettering is employed. He was in Europe in 1901 for several months Investigating conditions One of the special lines of his investigation was the prices of American goods at home and abroad. In the different cities in the ten countries he visited he made it a point to go into stores and as possible customer ask the cost of articles with the prices of which at home he was familiar. Here is the result in italics: Practically without exception found the prices of American goods higher everywhere in Europe than in the United States"
 Considering the cost of carriage. com mission and legitimate profits, for the be a wholly amazing discovery. It might have been inferred to be the case without exploiting stores in ten different counties in Europe, driving mimic bargains. The interesting point is. why, practically without ex- ception? Why not without excep- ton? Does not the scholarly and in dustrious member from Minnesota owe cisely what were the articles manu- factured in America he found he could buy more cheaply In Europe than at home? That is rub ping point in the general tariff discus sion and now that he has the informa- tion with which to compose the public mind. assuredly he ought to impart It..

The Republican plurality this year is in the neighborhood of 31,000, exceed ing. as will be seen, the plurality in any year except 1896. There were about 15,000 Democratic votes cast, or more than twice as many as in 1902. cred good sized Democtatic vote, un- Republican plurality is, the total Re- publican vote is smalle rthan was cast in the State campaign of 1900, In or der to have brought the Republican plurality this year below 25,000, 1t would have been necessary for the Democrats to have rallied two or three thousand more votes from the stay been necessary for two or three. thou sand Republican voters to have re- fused to support their candidate for Governor. and to have voted for the Democratic candidate.
 But no good reason existed why any Republican voter should not support the local candidates this year. Ger the Republican voter might feel to- ward the administration at Washing ton would lead him to vote against tthe popular farmer who headed the Republican State ticket. While Re- publicans in Vermont had no good ex cuse for leaving their party" on State issues this year, there may be reasons which will induce many voters to re- fuse to support Roosevelt in Novem- withhold their votes from Farmer Bell on Tuesday. Therefore, the result in Vermont may not be so significant of Democratic success in the country at large as all the party newspapers has ten to assume that 1t Is.

Sidney Lanier and Father Tabb,
Savannah Press.

A gentleman named A. l. Miller of Pulaski. Va, inquired recently if Sid ney Lanier were. the flute player at Point Lookout, where Confederate pris oners of war were confined. This query met the eye of Rev. John B. Tabb, the poet priest, in Maryland, who respond ed characteristically. as follows:
 MT. A. I. Miller, Pulaski. Va.-As to Sidney Lanier. at Point Lookout, I was hls fellow prisoner, and can answer the prison. nor. so far as I know. was ne ever accompanied there by even an other flute. Two of his pieces I cannot forget. Of one I have never known the name or the composer; the other was the "Adio" from "Traviato." which Patti herself never gave with more passion.
 His music was my greatest consid- eTation at the time. and remains. among Of beauty-a joy forever
 JOHN B. TABB."
 rather Tabb. then Private Tabb. and HrlVate l:anler were warm friends in the Confederate army. They ware both scholars and poets. Ianier was AS rather Tabb says, no one could sur pass him in flute-playing. and into that instrument he had the power of breathing his very soul It must have oeen Kind of martyrdom for such men IS Lanier and Tabb to be soldiers; but they had. in comparative y irall bodies, mighty valiant souls. Lanier suffered the bangs of poverty after the war in Baltimore before his great genius was recognized there. Ills letters to Bayard Taylor were almost waiis or despair. When fortune smiled on him he was on the road to dusty death. In Father Tabb's heart of hearts Lanier still lives amid. as he says, painful memories" And the priest shy, gentle, gifted-when comparing his remarkable poems, no doubt hears the sad. subtle. spiritual wall of Lam ier's flute floating mysteriously from Point Lookout up, up, up to the shin ing skies.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

.'Mining for Mammoths" may be looked on as an entirely new industry as well as an unusual one. but 1t Is really being done in the Klondyke re- zion. This animal, which is some times improperly called mastodon. and Is popularly known to many as the siberian elephant, Is really the great hairy mammoth, Elephas Primigenius of scientists. Ages ago soey claim that 1t fiourished in the extreme North regions of both Europe and America, and the fact that remains of such mon- Bters are found in Alaska is evidence of the truth of the theory.
 It Is the opinion now of the most eminent scholars that what is now q region of intense cold was at some remote period temperate region, where fiourished both animal and vege- table life such as is now only found much farther South. The finding of remains of these mammoths, with in disputable evidence that they subsisted on species of vegetation not now to be found in that latitude. seems to bear out their conclusion very fully and completely.
 The Dawson News gives an interest ing account of the operations of a min ing explorer who found the remains of one of the monsters at depth of forty or fifty feet in the frozen drift of that region. and among other things the relator says:
 The sensation of meeting this silent monster of prehistoric origin in such a place. associated with gold in the frozen gravel, is something so novel so interesting and so awe inspiring that I cannot begin to describe it. The far as the skeleton Is concerned. al&hough there Is no hide or hair so far in evidence. The skull Is about hvse feet long, the immense eye sockets are perfect and large cavity in the top of the skull marks the former rest ing place of its gigantic brain This cavity was also filled with frozen gravel. which Charley Swanson dug out with the end of his candlestick and fingers
 We can understand that miner, ex- pecting to find nothing more appalling than a vein of gold. would receive something of a setback upon coming, almost in the dark. at that. on the remains of some huge creature who lived and trampled things some hun dreds of thousands of years ago, more or less. and we can well understand that the discoverer felt shaky in the knees as he gazed at his gruesome find. And another thing which may appear singular in the report is that as they uncovered the remains the odor from the dead animal was so strong that 1t was almost overpowering in the narrow shaft and could be plainly smelt outside the mine. So perfectly had the ice done its work during the ages in which the animal had been buried that the dead animal scent still remained with it.
 Although there have been numbers of skeletons and detached skeletons of these great prehistoric animals dis covered in recent years they are still not plentiful and are of sufficient value to render mining for them a profitable industry.

Opening and Closing Gates.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The city ordinance requiring gates to be kept closed, or to open on inside of yard, Is a meritorious act and should meet the appreciation of all good citi- zens for the following three reasons:
 First-A gate perpetually standing open is an obstruction. an obstacle to passage on the sidewalk and a verit- able nuisance.
 Second-If a gate must stand open let the landlord furnish the land or space and not intrude his gate on the sidewalk. Let 1t open on the inside of his yard.
 Third-As a man with his shirt bosom unbuuoned. or lady with her shoe strings united or school girl with her stocking down to her shoe top, so Is a residence with it's gates standing open; it is untidy, obnoxious, disgust ing and displays laziness or careless ness. R. L. G.

When They Changed.

PhIIadeIphIa ReCOru.
 When the Republicans finally wit messed the division of the Democratic Party and the unmistakable drift of public opinion they abandoned their bantling of bimetalism, jumped up, cracked their heels and declared that they had always been in favor of the gold standard. At the same time they and their organs were not ashamed, and are not ashamed now to accuse Grover Cleveland and his sound money Democratic administration of having caused the financial panic of 1893, which was largely the result of cheap money Republican legislation.
