"A MINUTES FOR JOHNSON

Denver, July 10, a. m. (4 n. m. Eastern Timc) At this hour the con. ventIon Is still In session, and bnlloting on the nomination has not yet begun. The scconding speeches for Bryan are still in progress, Iowa having been reached in the list of states. Denver. July s.-The democratic con- vention with the apparent intention of prolonging It's sessions as long as pos- sible last n.sht did everything possi- ble to delay final vote on d candidate for the presidency. Quartets, bands and speakers were called upon to fill in the time until even the delegates themselves were weary of the tactics of the leaders. Chairman Clayton. true to the promises that he had made endeavored to bring into prominence the favored ones.
 After number of speakers had been called upon to satisfy the craving of restless members old Champ Clark was called upon and told the following story. a sample of the time killers. re. cited:
 During the Russo Japanese war q telegram came from the front saying: 'kuropatkin Is in statu quo The boys in the village did not know what that meant So they took the message to the wise man of the town and he didn't know what 1t meant. But he took c chance and said:
 ]" 'Fellers, s.atu quo means that Kur. opatkln Is in hell of fix That's what's the matter with the republican party" The convention was convuls. ed. Mir. Clark concluded with a trI. bute to Mir. Bryan as the greatest liv- ing American The galleries at thls rpoint, utterly weary of the perform ance. broke out with cries of "votel Vote!"
 Chairman Clayton, recognizing that something must be done declared that the secretary would now proceed to call the roll of states for nomina. tions for the office of president of tho | United States.
 Alabama yielded to Nebraska in the nomination for president and I. J. Dunn of Omaha arose and with his first mention of Bryan's name the entire convention became convused. Almost every illusion he made to Mir. Bryan, was applauded. When he de. clared that the candidate was the choice of the militant democracy of the country the convention broke into | wild cheers. It was not long befora the scenes of yesterdays demonstra. tion were renewed. Galleries and delegates were on their feet waving thousands of flags and cheering them- selves hoarse. The majority of the New York delegates remained seated. Only six banners were missing iron, the list of states in the parade through the aisles after the grouping at the stage had broken into a pro. cession. They were those of Mary. land, Minnesota, New York Georgia. New Jersey and Deleware.
 When the noise had continued for just fifty-fve minutes, the sergeant at arms began their first. efforts to still the uproar and to clear he aisles. The word was given to messengers

Personal NOTES.

That Pittsburg millionaire who is giving
his money to the people whom he desires
to have It, without making them wait till
he dies. can hardly expect to be loudly APP
plauded by the lawyers.
The American ambassador. David Jayne
Hill, will officlate at the christening cere-
monies at the launching of the North Ger
man Lloyd company's new steamship,
George Washington, october 81, Mt Bre-
men.
w. w. Hilditch of the Sheffield Scientific
school. has by laboratory tests ascertained
that the bacteria found on paper money,
while running up into the thousands for
each bill, are not usually of an infectious
or virulent type.
A mining promoter has been arpested in
Los Angeles for tempting the nimble dollar
with an excess of promises. The trouble
seems to be that the promoter didn't brace
the ground floor sufficiently to keep the
sucker family out of the cellar.
DR.. John A. Brasher of Pittsburg is a
nice, reassuring astronomer. The sun
spots,' he says, "presage nothing on the
earth except magnetic disturbances, and
the most harm that 1 expect from them
is that they may interfere with wireless
telegraph"
Captain Seth Bullock has left Deadwood
for Huron, S. D., where he will meet Ker-
init Roosevelt and go for a three weeks
hunt on the Standing Rock and Cheyenne
River indian reservations. This is the
third consecutive year Captain Bullock has
accompanied Kermit Roosevelt on hunts on
the reservation.

close states so as to draw the negroes
from their alliance with the republican
party" We doubt if Mr.. Bryan is
diplomat enough to accept the con-
1icting advice that is being offered to
him without making a muss of il.
What can Mr.. Bryan say in Maryland,
Kansas or West Virginia, where the
democratic leaders are demanding the
disfranchisement of the negro, that
will win any colored voter from the
republican ticket? 10 will be embar-
RAISING to him to ask them to vote the
democratic ticket in close states and
submit without protest to d~isfranchise-
ment as soon as the democrats get into
power in those states. He can hardly
afford to ask the northern negro to
vote the democratic ticket after first
taking the %precaution to see that the
south is not looking.

A RAILROAD ASSOCIATION.
Projected Union of Managers, Inves-
tors and Employees.
Chicago Tribune.

SllCdSO ITlDuI6.
The American Railroad Employees and
Investors association which is now being
formed will represent capitalize owners
of railroad stocks and bonds-and labor
that is, the men who work Oh the roads.
The representation of capital invested In
the manifold industries served by the roads
and of the labor employed in those indus
tries is not contemplated. But the asso-
citation speaks fair to these unrepresented
interests, 1t says 1t wishes to encourase
a friendly feeling on the part Of the pub
lie toward the railroads.
II promises, while working to secure a
fair return to capital and labor engaged
in them, to consider and promote the wei
fare Of the public.
An association which lives up to such
a promise caEnot be regarded with appre-
hension. Indeed, the more close and
friendly the relations between railroad
capital and railroad labor the better will it
be in one important particular for the
industrial world. 1t will he in the nature
of a guarantee against railroad strikes.
The community breads those strikes
above all others, so disastrous to business
are they. 1t would welcome an assurance
of future exemption from them.
Ore of the prcfessed objects of the as
ISOLATION is to prove to the people that a
general advance in rates will be just and
reasonable. II 1t nave facts. let it sub
nit them. The public, when not unduly
excited, is just and reasonable. 1t is de-
sirous that there should he fair return on
real railroad capital and that railroad men
should get fair pay. 1t may be prepared
to admit that an advance in some rates
will be needed to meet those evils. As re-
CARDS that matter, 1t will accept the con-
illusions OF the Interstate Commerce com
mission.
But to acquire and retain usefulness the
association must keep out of politics. So
long as it shall play the part Of an educa-
tor and a harmonizer no exception VIII
be taken to it. If il shall he found at
tempting to exert illegitimate influence In
congress or In state legislatures then the

VITAL QUESTIONS INVOLVED.
Points in Appeal in the Commodity
Clause Cases.
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
There would be little profit in specula-
ton concerning the outcome of the govern
ment's appeal, just ordered by the attor-
ncy general, in the commodity clause
cases. It is plain, however, that neither the
Department of Justice nor the
commission is greatly oppressed-or i'm
pressed-by the adverse decision OF a ma
jority of the federal circuit court for the
Pennsylvania district. A reversal seems to
be expected with considerable confidence.
This confidence is based, Of course, on
the supreme courts past decisions in thor
oughly considered cases which involved the
construction and application of the ON
merce clause. 1t is true that recent opin-
ions of that tribunal have been full of
dicta in favor of the preservation Of the
rights and powers of the states, but 1t is
by no means clear that the commodities
clause infringes upon any reserved state
right of power. How, for example, can
the state of Pennsylvania authorize and
regulate the shipment of products into
other states? The commodities clause
leaves Pennsylvania as free as il ever was
to regulate intrastate commerce. THE coal
owning roads are not prohibited by that
clause from retaining and operating their
mines and selling their product in Penn
sylvania itself. Nor does the clause
directly require them to give up or sell or
suspend work in the mines. All 1t says is
that such carriers as own and operate
mines or conduct other industries shall not
be allowed to transport their products in
interstate
Has not congress the constitutional
right to say this? Has It not the plenary
and exclusive power to regulate interstate
commerce-that is, to lay down terms and
conditions upon which. and upon which
only. citizens and corporations may engage
In such commerce.? So far as the
clause is concerned, the states as separate
sovereignities might as well be deemed
lnexistent: they have absolutely nothing to
state transportation,
Thus the power to regulate interstate
includes the power to prohibit
was settled by the famous lottery case.
States may legaiize lotteries and permit
them to flourish. but that does not pre-
vent congress from saying that lottery
tickets shall not be transmitted by carriers
engaged in interstate commerce. Such
prohibition may destroy property rights
and vested interests, but it Is constitu-
tional, for It affects no right lawfully rec
ognizcd by the states. They remain su-
preme within their sphere.
These are the considerations that will be
urged before. the supreme court, for the
essential issue in the commodities case Is
the extent and nature Of the power OF con-
gress to regulate interstate commerce and
prescribe conditions for thnAA u,iShinS 10

DEMOCRATS AND THE NEGRO.

While Mr.. Bryan, with more politi-
cal acumen than he usually displays, is
making a determined effort to side
track discussion of the negro question
in this campaign, some of his associ-
ates on the national democratic COM
mittee are apparently as equally deter
mined to force the issue into promi-
hence and the result is certain to be
exceedingly embarrassing to Mr.,
Bryan.
Democrats of West Virginia recently
declared in their state platform for
the disfranchisement of the negro vot-
ers in that state for the protection Of
the purity of the ballot" although ne
groes cast less than 5 per cent of the
votes in the state. Now comes John
II, Atwood, member of the national
committee from Kansas and in charge
OF the speakers bureau for the west,
and in a signed letter demands the
disfranchisement of the negro voters
in Kansas. Mr.. Atwood, in the course
Of a brutal and vicious assault upon the
negro, declares that the colored voter
is a menace to Kansas and that the
state must get rid of him.
Kansas democrats have even less ex-
cuse than the West Virginia democrats
for attacking the negro. The negro
casts less than 8 per cent of the Kan
sas vote, and the record shows that a
majority of the Kansas negroes are
neither illiterate or vicious. MIR. AT
wood, however, is a real democrat, and
shares the general democratic desire
to have the entire negro vote disfran-
chised, in the north as we'll as in the
south.
Coloael Watterson is also causing
trouble for Mr.. Bryan. Dispatches
from Chicago state that Colonel Wat
terson has been urging Mr.. Bryan ito
shape his speeches on his tour of the

"A SOUTHERN VAMPIRE

Eminent physicians in the south
have become convinced that the lazy
worm" is not the product of supersti-
ton or negro folklore, but is a real
southern vampire" as the Atlanta
Constitution calls it, which is menacing
the health and very existence of from
$50. 600 to 100000 Georgians. The
Georgia state board of health has
taken up the warfare against the hook
worm, or the lazy worm" which they
assert causes more deaths in Georgia
each year than tuberculosis and pneu-
monia combined.
The physicians state that the hook
worm is picked up in its embryo stage
by b~arefooted children and reaches the
vital organs through the circulation.
The children grow into sickly, blood
less and indolent adults. Physicians
insist that the lazy sickness can be
cured by a few doses of thymol, but
the ignorance and superstition of the
negroes and illiterate whites prevent
the general use of the remedy.
There is one sure preventive of the
lazy sickness" and that is the wear
ing of shoes. 1t may yet be necessary
for Georgia to protect the health of
its citizens by making the wearing of
shoes compulsory.
