The nominee chooses the man who,
according to his belief, will boss the
campaign in a manner calculated to
do the most good for the nominee.
Then Mr. Chairman takes the reins
and runs the band wagon himself.
There is one big and bewildering
bunch Of work for the party chairman,
with few spot lights of glory thrown
on the screen here and there and the
probability Of many cuffs and kicks.
Party chairmen work for love, as a
rule, though now and then one Of them
gets an Office out Of it if he lands his
man in the White House
The first thing on the programme is
the opening of headquarters by each
party The headquarters Offices con-
stitute the party capital for the cam
paign. From headquarters the chair
man and his assistants throw out life
lines to every state in an effort to
save the nation.
And what stupendous job is the
saving of the nation every four years!
OF course each party does the saw
ing. Republicans and Democrats alike
work like fury for three or four
months, but all the fury and all the
sound signify something. They signi-
fly that the people of the great repub-
lie are proud of their country and
deeply concerned in it's salvation.

was Mark Hanna, who handled the
two campaigns Of President Mckinley
and won out both times. Mr.. Hanna
had had lifetime experience as
manipulation Of great business con-
Germs. He had executive ability to
spare ordinarily, but he used just
about all of it in managing the two
anti-Bryan fights. Hanna was a
shrewd man. He knew very well
that the opposition to free silver coin
age was just as strong in 1900 as in
1896, and he worried the Democracy
into a second defeat that year by fight

that the Democratic platform declared
with emphasis that imperialism was
the paramount ISSUE Chairman Han
ma would not be sidetracked. He
fought out the issue chiefly in the east
ern states which now and then go
Democratic, utterly ignoring the i'm
perialism ISSUE
In 1892 the Democrats had a strong
character at the head of the national
committee. William f. Harrity Of
Philadelphia was chairman. President
Cleveland had been defeated in 1888,
largely on his firm stand regarding
tariff reform. Mr.. Harrity perceived
that Mr.. Cleveland was not revolu-
zionist and that public opinion had
changed greatly in four years on the
tariff. Cleveland stuck rigidly to his
position favoring tariff reform. Har-
rity conducted an educational cam
paign, preaching to business men that
Cleveland was "safe and conserva-
tive" These tactics won, President
Harrison being retired by big cleo
oral majority.

European Royalties Troubled to Make
Ends Meet.

Ends Meet.
Hard times. indeed. are fallen upon
the earth when royalty joins the sub
merged tenth and takes a station in
the bread line. 1t is not quite so bad
as this yet, but the future is dark.
Emperor Williams recent cry of dis
tress is seconded now by reports of
hard times at Lisbon. The royal house
field is besieged by creditors and the
crown jewels will have to go to sat-
isfy the grocery bill if suits now pend
ing succeed What wonder Emperor
William cannot make ends meet on
$3,846,121 year, although he has
much private property to bring in
pin money The king of Portugal re-
ceives only miserable 1857, 900 a
year, and his present trouble seems
to spring from difficulty in collecting
even this.
Calamity claims come also out of
Russia, where the car is understood
to be much straitened. recent dras-
tic revolutions and i'll considered po-
litical movements having reduced
somewhat the $12,000,000 a year which
he customarily receives from his 1,000,-
600 square miles of land and his Siber-
ian mines. King Leopold of Belgium,
as we know, is now struggling with a
confscatory minded parliament, bent
on cutting off his Congo income and
throwing him back on his pittance of
$660,000 a year Only the sultan, with
his s7,500,000 year, seems really
content. AS we know. there have been
no waves of popular clamor, no hasty
legislation, to interfere with the sui
tan's business in Turkey.
What the present straits, real or al.
legged, of royalty, are to come to we
can only surmise Their misery may
be only affected as a means of scar
ing back the flood of public ownership
of kings sentiment that is passing
over Europe. Again, the trouble may
be real, for the style of royalty is ex-
pensive. Whether the people will come
to law with Their taxes or decide that
the bauble of royalty costs more than
it is worth is the important question
that time must answer.-Nebraska

A RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Account Of the Most Serious One Aus
traIia Has Ever Had.

traIIa Has Ever Had.
A correspondent in Australia writes
to us as follows:
Last Easter Monday witnessed what
Is claimed to have been the most seri-
GUS railway accident which has yet oc-
Cured in Australia. Up to date
CApril 29) the official roll of deaths
and casualties is: Deaths, A; casual
ties officially reported, 378. (The NUM-
Der OF deaths was given later as 4S,
and OF those injured at 419)
Briefly, what happened was that a
Bendigo train travelling with full
complement of Easter excursionists
and consequently very heavy and con-
siderably behind scheduled time, ran
into the junction station of Sunshine
at such a speed that the Westinghouse
brakes could not pull her up in time
to prevent the running down and
wrecking of Ballarat excursion train
which had just arrived from the line
in the West and had begun to unload
her passengers.
for the drivers statement that the
brakes refused to act. Not only did
onlookers notice the sparks from the
wheels of the whole train for some
hundreds of feet before the accident
occurred, but the comparative immun-
ity from casualties of the Bendigo
train shows that these brakes must
have been acting.
after the accident the state of af-
fairs was rendered more horrible by 3
fire which broke out. Unlike the Am
erican trains, Australian trains are not
fitted with axes, hammers, jacks and
such appliances to facilitate the re-
moval Of the victims after an accident,
and great deal of the trouble, and
even many of the deaths, may be di-
rectly traced to the delay in extricat-
ing the sufferers from the burning de-
bris.
There is at the present juncture no
need to elaborate such irregularities as
that the trains were both running long
behind their scheduled times. Such oc-
currences are common with all excur-
sion trains on Easier Monday, and are
not specially confined to state railways
But every one acquainted with railway
work will see at once that the possible
ity of such an accident on modern in
terlocking railway, ostensibly equipped
with the best interlocking gear, should
be inconceivable Naturally, the state
government has ordered full inquiry
into all the circumstances, to be con-
Quoted by judge of the supreme
court, assisted by the best engineering
talent.
"The result of this inquiry will be
awaited with some interest. Not only
is Victoria an example of country
where the railways are entirely owned
and controlled by the state, but for
many years it has been held up as a
model of the advantages which follow
that political system At one time in
this state of Victoria public safety was
regarded as of greater consequence
than revenue. Latterly, however, the
local press have been complaining that
too great economies are being prac-
tised for safety. Engineer.

STRAW FOR HATS.
How the Wheat Is Planted and Garnered
Bleaching the Stalks.

Few people know where the straw for
making summer hats comes from. A
great part of it is grown in Italy. 10
make suitable straw the wheat is sown
as thickly as possible, in order that the
growth of the plant may be impover-
ished, as well as to produce thin stalk
har ing toward the end from the last
knot the lightest and longest straw.
The wheat blooms at the beginning of
June, and is pulled up by the roots by
hand when the grain is half developed.
If allowed to remain in the ground a
longer time the straw would become
brittle.
About FIVE dozen uprooted branches,
the size of the compass of two hands,
are firmly tied together into little sheaves
and slowed away in barns. Then the
straw is again spread out to catch the
heavy summer dews and TO bleach in the
sun. After additional bleaching the
straw is put into small bundles and
classified.
Finally it is cut close above the first
joint from the top and again tied up in
small bundles containing about sixty
stalks each.-Golden Halfpenny.

New Workers are very much agog
over the recent unheard of extravaganza
of Mrs Hetty Green, who is known far
and wide as the richest woman in the

where Mrs. Green paid $40 a month
she has gone TO the fashionable Hotel
Plaza ON Fifth avenue where she paws
$500 month for her small apartment.
However, she now looks out on the
beauties Of Central park, where before

yards of scrubby tenements. At the
Plaza Mrs. Green still continues many
of the habits she has acquired in her
years of living the simple life. She re-
fuses to have any of the maids or bell
boys assist her, has requested the tele-
phone removed from her rooms, and or
ders inexpensive meals. BY following
the circuitous route and awaiting herself
OF several free transfers she is able to
so to her office every morning for a
nickel. Mrs. Green has carefully con
cealed the motives that impelled her to
move to the Plaza. 1t is rumored. how
ever. that she desires to get into society
since the engagement of her daughter
Sylvia TO Matthew Aston Wilks, great
grandson of the first John Jacob Aston.
Wilks denies that there il any engage
ment, but it is generally believed that

HARDY Cnrysantnemums.

Chrysanthemums of the pompon type.
of which each plant produces from forty
to one hundred blooms, an inch or two
across. are many of them hardy enough
to remain out all winter in central and
southern attitudes. The blooms often
Iemain in good condition until long after
Thanksgiving.
These plants are the most capable 81
resisting frosts of any flowers. Their
peculiar merit is that they bloom long
after successive frosts have denuded the
landscape. Their vivid colors are SO nm
like anything else at that season that
they are indispensable in the carefully
made garden.
The flowers are not ruined until thet
petals have been wet and frozen sim
The plants are necessarily used for mass
effects as great size is not to he eNV err
ed. MaSsas of red and brown side "y
side make a striking combination. Crm-
son and pink varieties SHOULD be kept by
themselves because their colors are vs.
riable and they make a violent contrast
with the yellow.
The culture of hardy chrysanthemEmS
is simple. They need little care and cah
be planted in any situation. so that tue
soil is rich. They are best propagated
from cuttings which should be made al
any time from October to May. tAt
cuttings may be obtained from ans. hoi-
list. They should be inserted sing 1i
pots or sandy soIl and as soon rs t-}
are rooted they should be set outdoors
in their permanent location.
