DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

EyIt begins to look as if Mr. Bryan
regarded his democratic confreres as
a hopeless aggregation. Washington
Star.
ETAmerica's lead in diplomacy ought
to provide the republican platform with
one of its strongest planks.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
ETDon't forget that Judge Parker's
hair is red. IT may be that he is afraid
to trust himself to speak what is in his
mind.-Chicago Tribune.
ETIt is reported that German still
hopes to secure the nomination. That
man must have an awful opinion of the
democratic party.-Chicago Record
Herald.
UGThe democratic party has had plen-
ty of leisure in which to repent the
hasty impulse that nominated Bryan in
1896, and the prospects are excellent for
plenty more leisure of the same kind
Indianapolis Journal.
UWiIliam j. Bryan does not propose,
he says, to name the man he deems
most fit for the presidency. 1t is not
necessary. Everyone knows the dis
tinguished citizen Mr.. Bryan has in
mind.-Philadelphi Record.
ETThe presidency Of the United
States has never been an Office with
tactics of body-snatchers, whether
they were as rich as Hearst or as poor
as Bryan.-MilwaUkee Wisconsin.
fudge Parker is trying to bring
Hill and Tammany together in har-
mony; it is reported that he expects
to establish peaceful relations be-
tween Cleveland and Bryan. If he
succeeds he will be known as the boss
peace maker.-Knoxville (TeEn.)
Journal.
DAs a matter Of fact. there has
been nothing rash or reckless in the
Roosevelt administration, nothing
whatever to justify the charge that
he is an unsafe man. No action in re-
gard to domestic or foreign affairs
has been taken without thoughtful de-
liberation and without due considera-
ton for the interests and welfare of
the country-Omaha Bee.
DIt is noteworthy that quite a
number of delegates to the democratic
national convention have been elected
who are said to favor Parker" This
means that they are open to persua-
sion and that if anyone turns I'D who
in their opinion is stronger than the
New York man they are free to sup
port him. The Parker boom has by
no means been made unanimous as
yet.-Troy On. " Times.

battle of Lexington. A republican presi-
dent, Theodore Roosevelt, started the
movement which led to the passage of
national irrigation, which a republican
congress enacted. This measure will
supplement the work done by the repub-
licans in the free homes act which Lin
coin signed in 1862, and will plant hum
dreds of thousands of homes in the pres
ent arid regions between the western
border of Kansas, Nebraska and Okla
homa and the Pacific ocean. The re-
publican party has been the builder Of
the west Every presidential candidate
which it has nominated thus far eX-
cept Blaine has been a western man.
1t has transferred the country's center
of political and social gravity to the Mis-
sissippi valley. If the democrats make
a campaign issue of the republican par
tvs attitude toward the west it will
make hundreds of thousands of new
votes for the republicans on the AL
leghanies' sunset side.

A New Device in Pipe Organs.

Chicago. May 14.-The $4,000 pipe
organ to be placed in the new Theo-

nected that the organ may be played
from any part of the orchestra or

directly behind the orchestra, but
about ten feet overhead, is so ar
ranged as to allow a most perfect
blending of tones with orchestral or
other music. With the exception of

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
u serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevita BILE fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is a settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or n
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

A NERVY OUTLAW.
He is Holding Officers at Bay in the
Wisconsin Woods.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May IA
George 10th, deputy sheriff of this
county, has volunteered to capture
the outlaw Dietz, who is holding of
ticers at bay near Hayward, Wis.
Loth's offer has been accepted by the
Wisconsin authorities and he will go
at once. He expects to get artillery
from Madison and dislodge the out
law without loss of life other than
that possibly of DietZ himself.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 14-All
the men employed by the Chippewa
Lumber and Boom Co. at the Came
ron dam on the Thorn Apple river,
which Dietz is holding up, returned
Friday, the drive being abandoned.
Over ten million feet of logs are
lying high and dry, the dam being
kept open by Dietz. Operations of
the mills may be delayed should the
present trouble long continue. Sixty
armed men started ou: yesterday
from Cameron Junction with orders
to capture Dietz dead or alive.

A large decrease of consumption in

A large decrease of consumption in
playing cards with a correspondingly
large increase in the amount Of liquor
used during the past eight months is
noted by treasury department officials
in the receipts of the revenue service
Compared with the same period year
ago the number of packs of playing cards
used by the people of the United States
was reduced 100000. On the other
hand the consumption Of whisky was
enough larger to result in adding 50 ,5O0,-

New Use for Electricity.

Mr. E. B. Green, superintendent of the
Edison Illuminating Electric company
at Altoona, Pa, writes to the Electrical
World and Engineer of his successful
use of electricity for thawing water
pipes He has thawed 250 feet of one"
inch iron pipe in 20 minutes, using be-
tween IS and 20 kilowatts for between
30 and 40 feet of three-quarter-inch pipe,
five to eight minutes and II to 10 kilo-
watts are required. The voltage is re-
duced to not over so, and the connection
made to the pipe to be thawed and to
hydrant or other connection to the main
on the other side of the frozen portion.
The work is performed for customers In
less time and with much more cleanli-
ness than it could be done by the
plumber. The cost lies chiefly in the
carting of the apparatus and labor.

No Evidence of Increased Activity In
the Leading ndustries-RevieW of
Trade.
New York, May 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable weather has restored
normal conditions in many branches
Of retail trade, but the improvement
has not yet extended to wholesale,
iobbing or manufacturing depart
ments, except in special lines. 1t
is difficult to find evidences of in
creased activity in any of the lead
ing industries, and there is more idle
machinery. Traffic conditions are
little changed, railway earnings in
the first week of May falling rs per
cent. behind last year, and the late
opening of lake navigation was fur
ther retarded by a strike. While
many features of the business situa-
ton make poor comparisons with
last year, it is worthy of note that
few presidential years have made a
better exhibit.
In the leading manufacturing in
dustry scarcely any decline in prices
occurred. during the past week, but
the average has fallen considerably
from the best position of last year,
and consumers are confident that
further delay will result in still more
attractive terms. This impression is
largely due to the recent disagree
ment among ore producers.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 236, against 1856
the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number %,
against 13 last year.

Massacres In Armenia.

Paris, May 14.-An official dispatch
to the foreign office from CONSTANT
nople confirms the reports that Turk
ish troops have burned villages
throughout the Sassoun district of
Armenia, killing the inhabitants.
The official advices, although brief,
indicate that the work of eXterminat-
ing the Armenians occupying the
mountainous district of Sassoun is
practically accomplished. The
Turkish methods appear to have
been much the same as those adopt
ed during the Armenian massacres.
The official reports do not give de
tails as to the number of towns
burned and people killed, but they
show that the action of the Turks
has been sweeping.

Keep in Prime Condition.

Nature, says Success, is not sentt-
mentiful or merciful. If you violate
her law, you must pay the penalty,
though you sit on a throne; king or beg
gar is all the same with her You can
not plead weakness or handicap as an
excuse for failure. She demands that
you be ever at the top of your condition,
that you always do your best, and Will
accept no excuse or apology. A weak
ness anywhere mars ones whole career.
l. will rise up as a ghost all through
ones life-work, mortifying, condemn
ing and convicting one of past error.
Every indiscretion or vicious indulgence
simply opens a leak which drains off
success capital. OF what use is great
success capital, of mental and physical
equipment, If you are not wise enough
to manage it to the best advantage, and
to make it last until your success is as
sured? 1t is sad to see young man try
to win high place with broken-doWn
constitution, or with his faculties half
trained, and his success army completely
demoralized, his prospects ruined by
shattered physique The saddest thing
of all is that wise living might have made
fulflllment of ambition possible, and en-

GIBRALTAR DECLARED WEAK
lmpotency of Fortress at Port Ar.

VI
Inquiries of an exhaustive char.

The impotency of the fortress at
tion of the rocks invulnerability,
and the recent manueuvers in Gibral
tar bay, although officially declared
to have ended in favor of the fort.
ress, have revealed great weaknesses.
Gibson Bowles, one of the special
commissioners who visited the rock
and reported adversely on the posi-
ton of the new docks, said:
"In any peace maneuvers a fort
ress will always win against a fleet.
So much is allowed for the assumed
strength of a fortress that the fleet
usually comes off second best in
tests"
Mr.. Bowles does not pose as a
naval expert, but he attaches little
Importance to the decisions of um
pires.
On the return of Maj. Gen. F. G
Slade, who has watched the maneu
vers on behalf of the war Office, he
will present some valuable evidence
to the army council; but without
waiting for this testimony the au
thorities seem anxious to strengthen
the defenses of the rock, especially
as regards the heavy guns, for which
G24,OO0 has been voted.
