A Significant Straw.

That was quite comment on Re-
publican ridicule of the Democratic de-
mand for guarantee of bank deposits
which was furnished by the convention
of Pennsylvania bankers in session at
Bedford Springs on Thursday. The
Taft managers thought the opportunity
too good to be lost for making cam
paign stroke, so they prompted the in
PRODUCTION of a resolution condemning
as vicious and unsound that plank in
the Denver platform; never dreaming
that the Democrats policy would have
advocates in an assembly composed al
together of bankersssand largely mem
bers of the Republican party. But no
sooner was the resolution read than an
cry opposition developed, led by the
president of the leading financial insti-
tuition of Pittsburg and backed by the
officials of some of the soundest banks
in the State. So warm and exciting
was the debate, and so evident the dis
inclination of the body to go on record
as antagonizing the scheme for safe
guarding the peoples money, that the
author of the motion was glad to with
draw it. If the owners and agents of
the repositories are so divided on the
proposition, why should not the deposi-
tors unanimously favor it?

BUYS COAL LANDS.

Pittsburg, PA cash deal for coke
lands to the extent of $1,500,000 was
closed here last week and movement
set on foot toward moving the center Of
Connellsville coke field. A syndicate
having bought 5000 acre of coal land in
Greene county, near the border Of
Washington county. This, added to
what these capitalists already have
there, increases their holdings to II, 900
acres of the best coking lands. 1t is
the intention to open up this country
at one, and the market will be invaded
in opposition to the United States Steel
Corporation. The Pennsylvania Ry.
took hand in this affair and the deal
was not closed until its:engineers had
reported on the feasibility of extending
one the lines of that road into the new
field. This will give good outlet and
will permit the new concern, which
has capital of $2O,OOO,0O0 behind it to
enter into the manufacture of cork in
opposition to the great corporation just
mentioned.

Bryan's Analysis Of Political Situa-
ton.

"My nomination for third time, af-
ter two defeats and with no president
to help me with his patronage, has
been due to one thing alone, and that
is the growth of the idea for which l
stand, and the conviction among the
people that | am on their SIDE"
Mr. Bryan, declares that the period
had been reached in the history of the
democratic party 'swhen the East and
the West, and the North and the South
can unite upon platform.
MIR. Bryan compared the difference
between the conditions in 1896 and the
present time. ''Nhen | spoke in the
East in 1896 he said, ~ recognized that
there was an intense opposition. L
recognized that there were people who
feared that my election would be in
furious to the country, and they COM
municated that fear to those who work.
ed for them. Today there is no such
fear In 1896 there were people so
alarmed at what they thought was a
menace in my election that when the
election was over honest and religious
men knelt down and thanked God that
the country have been saved.o He de-
clared that no such feeling could be
found today. fsThere are, he said,
'sno people who are afraid Of danger in
ease of my election The only people,
he said, who would feel that they had
been saved in case OF his defeat were
| ssthe kind that don't thank God fol-
their safety" That difference in the
temper Of the people, he maintained
was apparent everywhere.-Bryan IL

The Army of Teachers.

The army of education in the United
States is made up of 10000 teachers,
of whom 1000 are men 100000 wo-
men. The overwhelming majority of
the teachers are natives of the United
States, less than 10000 having been
born abroad-one in fifteen.
Most Of the male teachers are between
the years of 25 and 35. The majority
of the women teachers are between 10
and 25.
There are 2, 300 male teachers over IS.
There are less than l, 500 female teach
ers over Co. Three times as many fe-
male teachers as male teachers are put
down as 'age unknown"
There are 21,000 colored teachers in
the United States, thus divided between
the two sexes: !, 100 men and $4,000 wo-
man. There are 800 Indian teachers in
the Indian schools Of the United States
-240 men and 260 women.
The average age of teachers in the
United States is higher than in Eng
land and lower than in Germany. The
proportion of very youthful teachers is
much greater in the country than in
the city district.
The largest proportion of male teach
ers is to be found in West Virginia,
where they number 80 per cent. of the
total. The largest proportion of wo-
men to be found in Vermont, where
they form 80 per cent. Of the whole
number. The standard of education is
very much higher in Vermont than it
is in West Virginia
The number of teachers in the Uni
ted States has increased greatly in re-
cent years. In 1871 there were 125, 800,
in 1880, 225, 900, in 1890, $40, 900 and, it
is at present 459, 800.

Force of Habit.

Some time since atelephone girl stay

before retiring left word at the office

To Make Sewing Easy.

A small cake of white soap kept in
the machine drawer is a great saver of
machine needles and makes sewing
easier. When thick place, such as
the crossing of two seams, is reached in
stitching, rub the material with the
soap, and the needle will pass through
it as by magic, without breaking or
even bending. This treatment Is par
ticularly valuable when one is stitch
ing sheer lawns or mousselines and
using very fine needle.-Farm and
