Seeing without Eyes.

How acute become the remaining
senses when that of sight is lost was
pathetically illustrated in a street car
the other day, says the Philadelphia
Record. A young woman, totally blind,
accompanied by a friend, got aboard
at a suburban point and rode into the
city. The route was evidently familiar
to the afflicted girl. All along it she
seemed able to tell what street or Sec
ton was1being approached, and when
ever she appealed to her friend for
confirmation she was invariably right
She seemed to judge the location prin-
cipally by listening to the motorman' s
bell and to the sounds of traffic. When
ever the bell was particularly busy
she knew the car was at a cross street
where vehicles were numerous. and
she could always tell what street it
was. Once, when in a quiet stretch
the bell rang suddenly and violently,
she simply asked
Something in the way?"
Yes, dear" was the answer, "a
grocer's wagon"
At another point in the ride a ray
of sunlight came through the window
opposite and rested for a moment on
the toe of the blind girls boot, and
she Immediately said: The sun is
bright to-day"

FIGHT FOR A RUBBER FIELD.

The dispatches announce that an
important battle has been fought be-
tween Brazil and Peru, and that the
Peruvians were defeated. Trouble be-
tween these two South American states
has been threatened for some time, but
il was thought they would not come to
blows-that they would adjust their
differences by making mutual conces-
sions. And in. the dispatch announcing
the battle the opinion is expressed that
there will be no declaration of war,
and that the differences of the two ma
lions will finally be adjusted without
a further resort to arms.
The trouble between Brazil and Peru
is of long standing. 1t is a boundary
dispute, in which is involved a section
Of country that is rich in rubber. Peru
claims a strip of territory 600 miles
long, and of considerable width which
includes the upper part of the Purus
and Jurus basins which are wonderful
ly rich in rubber trees. In fact it is
said to be the richest rubber region
in the whole Amazon territory. The
resources of this region have as yet
hardly been touched.
1t seems that other rubber fields of
Peru have been pretty well worked out.
and only within the last year or two
have the rubber operators been in
vading this virgin field. 1t seems
that these rubber operators are not
more careful of the lives of the rubber
trees than are the naval stores opera
tors In this country of the lives of the
pine trees. In their anxiety to get
all they can in the shortest possible
time they have no consideration for
the future. Hence, the rubber fields,
under the spur of the present extra
ordinary demand for rubber, are being
rapidly worked out.
Peru went to the trouble of making
the boundary line which ,is~the subject
of dispute with stone pillars, but
that did not, in the estimation of Bra
zil, settle the boundary question. 1t
seems that there has always been
great uncertainty relative to the
boundary, but as the territory involved
wasn't regarded as of much value until
it's rubber forests began to command
attention no great effort was made to
settle the boundary Now probably no
stone will be left unturned to bring
about an adjustment at the earliest
| possible moment. A war would cost
more than the rubber field is worth.

MIR. sUI.LY,s PROGRAMME.

A Philadelphia paper is authority for
the statement that Daniel j. Sully is
thinking of suing the New York Cot
ton Exchange for 1866, 000 The
ground for the suit was stated in our
dispatches a day or two ago. Mr.. Sui
ly says he wrote out an announcement
of his suspension at LAS p. m, and
sent il to the proper officer of the ex-
change by a private messenger. The
messenger says he delivered it in four
minutes. That would make the time
of it's reception lac p. m, but Mr..
Sully says. admitting that the messen-
ger was five minutes in delivering It, 1t
reached the proper officer of the ex-
change at 1850 p. m. The announce
ment of his suspension to the ex-
change, however, wasn't made until
2;10 p. m. In that short interval some
brokers got the information that Mr..
Sully had suspended, and there was
tremendous tumble in prices. Besides,
he claims that he was required to set
tie on the basis of the averages of the
following day.
Mr.. Sully says that when he an
nounced his suspension he was able to
meet all his obligations. that his firm
was solvent, but that the delay In an

THE REPUDIHTED BONDS.

The author of a letter published in
the New York sun. dated at Concord,
n. c., who describes himself as a
Republican and voter in Pennsyl-
vania, takes the position that the Unit
ed States ought to pay the fraudulent
bonds issued by the Southern states
in reconstruction times and repudiat-
ed by them. He says that he is NOV
ed to express his views in regard TO
these bonds by the wide spread inter
est that has been aroused in them
by the recent decision of the Supreme
Court i'll the case of South Dakota
against North Carolina. He says he
thinks that the Southern people would
like TO see these bonds paid, not be-
cause they are an honest debt, but
because, while they are out standing,
they seem to be, in the minds of some
a sort of obligation of the Southern
states.
In the course of his letter he says:
/ can see but one just and right
way out of the difficulty. 1t is a way
that should produce most beneficent
results. These bonds were issued by
legislators who were elected when the
states were under the control of the
United States army. The direction of
the civil elections was entirely in the
hands of a lot of unprincipled North
ern and Southern renegade carpet
baggers' whose very lives were pre-
served by the ever present army of
the United States. The legislators who
issued these bonds were tools and CO.
workers with the carpet tagging" vul-
lures. Both pocketed the proceeds of
the sale of the bonds. There were
no properties created as securities for
these bonds, nor did the states re-
ceive any moneys from their sale This
being the case, does not the moral re-
sponslbility for their creation and sale
fall upon the United States govern
ment? Could the Republican party do
a more gracious or saner act than to
enact the necessary legislation to wipe
out these debts by the United States :?
This whole bond question was gone
over thoroughly at the time the de-
cision was reached not to pay those
bonds which were fraudulent. The
Southern people decided to pay those
which they felt they were under OBJ
legations, morally or otherwise, to pay
and not to pay the others. Not know
ing whether the writer of the
letter, from which the foregoing ex-
tract is made, is interested in the re-
pudiated bonds or not, it is impossible
to say how much weight ought to be
given to what he says. 1t is doubt
full, however, if Congress would favor
their payment by the government. AS
to what extent the bonds are in the
hands of innocent holders we do not
undertake to say but it wouldn't be
surprising if, in the first instance, the
most of them passed into the hands
of those who had grave doubts of their
validity, and. hence, got them at prices
much below their face value. If that
were the case they took them with the
understanding that they might never
realize anything for them.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
Carroll u. Wright shows that the cost
of living has increased 4 per cent. in
the last year, while wages have been
decreased. Gen. Grosvenor will now
hurry up figures proving that this
condition is due to a fear in the coun-
try that the Democrats may win in
November"
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem.)
says: THE Hartford Courant speaks
somewhat sneeringly of those Demo-
Gratis who entertain hopes of carrying
Connecticut against Roosevelt And
yet the Courant should not forget that
real Democrats in the persons of Mr.
Tilden and Mr.. Cleveland carried that
state in 1876. 1854, 1888 and 1892 against
stronger men than Roosevelt"
The Columbia State (Dem.) says:
IF Mr.. Bryan is hoping for Hearst's
success it is difficult to see how. in
view of his repeated declarations, he
will get any comfort from the Hearst
victory in Iowa. The Iowa conven-
ton did not reaffirm the Kansas City
PLATFORM in fact. it is said that a
clause to that effect was cut out be-
fore the platform was submitted 10 the
convention by the Hearst managers"
The Buffalo Times (Dem) says:
Reports from the West and South
west, where the greatest differences on
the subject of the nomination have ex-
listed are very encouraging to the
friends of Judge Parker and assurance
is given that delegations which have
inclined toward other candidates will
be counted in the Parker column at the
convention. The interest which the
Democrats have taken in their conven-
lions indicates that they are out for a
winning hRht."

THE UNIT RULE But NOT INSTRUC-
TTONS.

| 1t was thought that IL the Demo-
| Gratis of New York instructed for
Judge Parker the Democrats Of other
states that favored him would also
| instruct their delegations to St Louis
| for him. The Democrats Of several
of the states that are known to favor
| his nomination. have contented them
! selves by adopting the unit rule. The
! Pennsylvania delegation, for instance,
| is composed of men who, as rule,
favor him, but it is uninstructed, and
so is the New Jersey delegation. The
understanding seems to be that the
Indiana delegation, which is to be
chosen by the convention which meets
tomorrow, will be uninstructed. The
battle in Indiana is a hotly contested
one. 1t is between Judge Parker and
Mr.. Hearst. No other candidate is
mentioned, but the evidence is over
whelming that the Parker men will
have fully two-thirds of the convention.
Under the circumstances it would nat
urally be supposed that the delegation
from that state would be instructed.
Some of the leading men of North
Carolina have, in interviews in Wash
ington within the last few days, stated
that their state favored Judge Par
ker, but that the delegation to the St
Louis convention would not be in
structed. and il seems to be the UNI
Outstanding that the Georgia delega-
ton will go to the convention without
instructions. though, in all of the states
mentioned. the delegates will be bound
by the unit rule.
Does this mean that there is grow
ing doubt as to whether or
not Judge Parker will be re-
garded as the most available
candidate when the convention
assemblies; or is it, as has been sug~
gested, that the friends of the other
possible candidates have influence
enough to get the Democrats of some
of the leading states to withhold in
structions on the plea that it was i'm
possible to foresee what the conditions
at the convention would be, and that
it would be better, from every point
Of view TO leave the delegates free
to do as they thought best after look
ing the situation over after the as
sembling of the convention?
1t is probably true that the platform
that was adopted by the Democrats
of New York didn't make a favorable
impression. though it is doubtful if it
was damaging to Judge Parker's
chances for the nomination. AS far
as any one can see he is regarded with
just as much favor as he was before
the Democrats of New York Endorsed
him. The fact, however, that only
now and then a state is instructing
for him, while adopting the unit rule,
is calculated to create the impression
that ne is losing ground.

Georgia Candidate Read Palms.

Georgians at the Capitol yesterday
were telling an enthusiastic story about
a progressive candidate for judge down
there, and how this same candidate
won votes during the house-to- house
canvass, says the Washington Post.

candidate would say to a voter. "Ah,
/ see there the letter M You will
notice that l have the same sign in
my hand. If 1 am elected and you
come to see me. just show that sign
in your hand. Then 1 shall know that
you are my friend
Every voter thus addressed felt fiat

ed great strength. The ruse was prac-
ticed in a mountain section of the
state, where 1t did not occur to the
habitants that every man has a let
