Jennings Bryan. who was able to pre-
 vent the insertion of the mildest Kind
 of 2 gold plank in the platform, though
 he was unable to prevent the nomina-
 tion of Judge Parker on the ground
 that he was owned by Wall street
 This was what Senator Tillman and a
 large number of southern delegates. commanding big enough influence in the convention to have nominated somebody other than Judge Parker. said would have been the result of Judge Parker,s demand for a gold plank if he had made such a demand before the nomination. We think it is coming to be the general belief of the country and we differ from Golfers in the opinion that the legend or Parker's heroism Twill probably be successfully established by the eastern newspapers H We don't believe the American people can be swindled by such a bungling and biundering bunco game which Par ker, Hill and Belmont played on the St. Louis convention and are now trying to palm of on the American public as he roic statesmanship of higher order than Washington's or Lincoln's.-New York Press.

FooIIsRSEss OF PEEAOHIse.

Evangelist Charles H. Yatman has
 been doing some evangeIizing at Ocean Grove. and this is a specimen of his talk to the girls: Don't imagine that you owe it to the young men who buy ice cream for you to promise to become their wives. You girls are really the giYers of gifts to us men, because your condescension in sitting with a young man in an ice cream parlor more than repays him for the money he has spent for the ice cream you eat. The girls see before me are worth more than the ice cream output of America for an en- tire year" r
 This is a conspicuous sample of the foolishness of preaching. If Brother Yatman imagines that the modern girl thinks she owes anything to the young men who feed her with ice cream he doesn't know her. She doesn't under rate herself, and she well knows that no amount of ice cream is any compen- sation for her cheering society. She knows more than that too. She knows that nothing young man can do for her is worth comparing with the privi- lege and the blessing that are his in being graciously or ungraciously allow ed by her to do it. Brother Yatlnan
 must be little slow and unobservant. The girls know their inestimabIe value

TIE rR ExcH pr1Sa roo FAST.

1 THE FRENCH DYING roo FAST
 It appears that while people are not
 being born fast enough in France those who do manage to get born there die too fast. Dr. Lowenthal, a member of the extra Parliamentary committee ap- pointed to consider the question of de- population in France, throws a new l light on that thorny subject. He argues and seems to show that the evil from which Trance is admitted to be suf- fering is not exclusively due to her. diminishing birth rate, but, contrary to the opinions expressed both by scien- tific authorities and popular writers, is
 to great extent a consequence Of
 avoidable disease and premature death. He contends that it is delusion to suppose that the French death rate
 has really reached a low level when allowance is made for the smaller pro- portion of infants to the total popula- .tion of France The mortality of the
 French urban population, he says, ex- .ceeds that of English towns, although
 the birth rate in the latter Is much
 higher. The death rate in the French
 army is double that prevailing among the German troops, while the mor- tality of the French colonial forces is incomparably higher than among British soldiers serv- ing abroad. The main causes of this high mortality are, he says, the immoderate use. of spirits, which of it. self alone is enough to destroy France, consumption, which causes over 15O0Oo deaths per annum and affects the health of nearly half a. million per- sons, and, finally, infectious diseases. which, although declining in England. Holland, Sweden, and Norway, and even Italy, show no abatement in France. Smallpox, which has almost disappeared elsewhere, still claims thousands of victims in the French .....
 Perhaps France needs Subway Tay- srns and other incentives to hygienic lying. s.-..+..

The residents of Tlalpam, Mexico, complain that the public clock of that town is useless; repairs are made every week, but every week the clock gets out of repair and can never be kept in good condition. This is perhaps for the rea- son that the Tlapam clock is probably the oldest public clock on the American continent. It was installed at the ca- thedral of that city in the year 1857; in 1790 it was donated to the council of San Augustin de las Clevas, now Tlal- pam, when 1t was installed there and set in motion. Since that, time it was never undergone repairs until few weeks ago. This clock, therefore, has told the time for PAT years, and 1t is but natural that it is tired and wants to be sent to museum. ','
