DEFENDING TAMMANY.

The Washington Post which has
wisdom about politics which is past
finding out,so great and overpowering
has on many occasions told Mr.. b.
yam just why he was defeated, and as
signed a new cause each time, has this
to say in defense of Tammany which
went to the Pope's own, VIM. HI. Taft,
instead of voting the Democratic tick
ct.
1t is puerile to lay defeat on Tam
nany-Tammany that gave New York
to Seymour in 1868, to Tilden in 1876,
and to Cleveland in 1884 and 1892, and
had the Democratic party of 1908 given
to Tammany man like Seymour or
Tilden or Cleveland, Tammany would
have bestowed ON him in return more
than 100000 majority in Greater New
York and the 80 votes of the Empire
State in the election college.
The Democratic party gave Alton b.
Parker in 1904, and where were the 80
votes of the Empire State then?

Gentlemen:-Having read your edi-
terial "what has Mr.. Bryan wrecked"
of Nov. 9th, 1908, | am much pleased
with same, and will be obliged if you
will send copies to me at lis Eas Main
St, Richmond, Virginia, for which l
herewith enclose stamps. Staunton
should be proud TO have paper of the
true Democratic stripe.
Yours truly,
The figures used in the above men
toned editorial were sent by us to the
Washington Post under its invitation
to the public to express its views
through their columns. They declined
to make them public, either though
fear of having monied considerations
withdrawn, or for fear the party in
power might in some way discipline
them, or because they in line with the
Republican press desire to smother
facts Any way it is about impossible
to get large daily paper to publish
any statements other than their own
about Mr.. Bryan, and those statements
are usually SO unfair and distorted as
to mislead readers, indeed they seem to
be'made for that and no other purpose.

"A blue color is produced by the addi-
ton of cobalt. and thus are obtained arti-

by adding another metallic oxide and
thus are produced emeralds But with
the exception of rubies practically nothing

Sophisticated Gems"
Great progress is also being made in
turning out sophisticated gems. This
enterprise, largely fraudulent, consists of
the substitution of cheaper colorless
stones for diamonds, green garnets for
emeralds and so on. Certain stones are
treated with chemicals or with heat to
heiehten or change their cOlors and in
crease their brilliancy. The wine yellow

varying prices. and to the unframed eye

briliancy But when put under a magni-
flying glass even of low power they are
found to have numerous 'striae. or lines.
and minute bubbles. which at once distin-
guish them from the mined stones.
"Another method of manufacturing ru-
bies is to fuse chemically prepared alu-
nina mixed with flux containing color
ing oxides, chiefly chronic oxide, in an
electric furnace. The mixture is slowly
brought to the melting point, kept there
for time and then quickly cooled on the
outside, the interior being cooled as slow

These CLASSY Jumps are then cut for

color than the artificial rubies produced
by the French method. The invention is
that of an American who is as yet with
holding his name. Here is one of his ar
tificial rubies weighing sixteen carats.
It's color and luster is great as that OF
