johnson for Bryan.
The bottom has really fallen out of the
movement to nominate Gov. Johnson for
President on the democratic ticket. Gov.
Johnson recently asserted that he is still
for Bryan, and that he will not give out
a statement declaring himself an aspirant
for the nomination.
The Bryan forces will make clean
sweep in the state convention, and the
governors sudden determination to stick
to Bryan is attributed by old-line Bryan
ties to the fact that Johnson could not get
the Endorsement of his own state.

NEW USE FOR ARMOR PLATE.
Carnegie Company Sells More for
Steel Vaults Than War VesseIs.

1t was recently announced that the
Carnegie Steel Company had just closed
the most important armor-plate con-
tract OF this year"
The unInitiated would suppose from this
statement that the company is helping
TO build war vessels. On the contrary.
it has done very little In that line of
late. and the outlook Is for a moderate
business in the future 1t is not against
foreign enemy that this concern has
latterly been constructing protection. but
against persons in our own midst who
make a business of getting into vaults
where there is money. The Carnegie has
built forty armor-plate vaults for finan-
cial institutions in ten States
Whenever one visits n modern safety
deposit company's vaults and observes
the extraordinary precaution there taken
against the abstraction of money and
other valuables. he cannot resist. saws
the Economist, in commenting on the
Carnegie contracts, the feeling that our
present civilization is a highly imperfect
one.
Nearly 1000 years after the doctrines
of Christianity were first enunciated II
is necessary to protect every dollar OF
movable property. and as 10 the great
aggregation of money at the financial cen
ters ingenuity is taxed to the utmost. for
we have not only the ordinary thief in
our midst. but highly specialized experts
who would find no difficulty in getting
through the walls with which money
was surrounded only few years ago
II Is appalling 10 think what a vast
amount of human energy is expended In
merely protecting property against the
element in economics.
The clergyman and the reformer have
oeen engaged these many centuries in
trying to develop that one sure protec-
tio1 for property a sane soul, and a few
specimens have been produced. but the
iron men will have to be making armor
plate many years yet
