NOT QUITE FORGOTTEN.

Few of our readers, we suspect, es- pseially in the country have not heard of ''shank's mare" or "shank's nag. " When one is compelled to walk they say he rides shank's mare." and a contemporary complains that there isn't enough walking done these days for the good of the human race. Ralph Waldo Emmerson once remarked that when man invented carriages he for got how to walk, but Ralph was some- thing of hair splitter and often. his aphorisms lack accuracy. Carriages have been in use for centuries, and there has been much walking done since they came Into use, both in civ- ilized and unciviIized countries.
 Emmerson has been dead a quarter of century or more, and we are at a loss to know what extreme figure of speech he would now use if he were living to witness the many methods of locomotion that have come into pret- ty general use since he passed away. Especially would he be inclined to ex- tend his comparison if he should stop in one of the large cities and see how people travel. He would see men and boys-sometimes women and girls skimming along on bicycles; street. cars crowded with people who object to walking. and automobiles careering along the streets and out into the country at dangerous speed, and would perhaps come to the conclusion that people are forgetting how to walk. sure enough. For all that, shank's mare has not fallen entirely into disuse walking is not wholly a forgotten art. Many people indulge in 1t who could aeEozd to travel otho$wise, but doubt less it would be better for the health and strength of most people if they would do more of it. Shanks mare is both a safe and cheap mode of travel, and in most cases 1t is good for the health.

The latest fakir on the race ques- ton is thus alluded to by The Phila- delphia Inquirer:
 'The Rev. c. F. ChooIzzli, B. &. M. A.. graduate of Kings College. Oxford. special ecclesiastical envoy of King Menelek of Abyssinia, and descendant | of a line of ecclesiastical priests of Abyssinia, $500 years old, Is spending Q few days in Philadelphia. He Is tell- ing the blacks of this city, among other things, that Eve was a negro, that Sol- omon was negro, and that Homer was a negro.
 His present business in this coun- try is to tell the blacks to go back to Africa. where he says they belong. He bases his assertion that Moses was a negro on a Biblical story to the effect his bosom, and that when Moses drew the hand out 1t was white; therefore he must have been black.
 There's nothing like starting at the beginning of things, and this fellow with the barbed-wire name goes back to the foundation of humanity accord ing to the Biblical account of things. It seems to us that he doesn't make complete job of 1t. though, and leaves us guessing, for he doesn't tell us any thing about Adams color. If Adam also was black then 1t would be nat ural for all their progeny to be of the same hue, but if the first man was white would not the descendants be nulattoes to start with? And if the children of the first pair were either black or mulattoes are we to under stand that time left part of the hu- man race black, while 1t changed oth- CTS to all shades. ending in the white races of the earth? This sort of thing tangIes itself.
 Then there's Moses to reckon with. We don't know that 1t is possible now to tell with absolute ertainty what color any one was in those far-ofr days of which our information is not as com plete as we should like to have it What we learn of Moses is that he was a Hebrew child. and if he was black one would think all the Hebrews were of the same color Mir.

 In the general roundup at Chicago the politicians have an excellent op- portunty to exchange views concern ing the outlook for the campaign against Bryan. There are already in- dications that the Easterners are re- ceiving a series of mild shocks from the Western Republicans they are meeting. It has become the fixed be- lief of an Eastern man that the nom tnation of Bryan means a Republican walkoFer, for he has been told so countless times by those Democratic papers of the Eastern cities which have fought the Bryan supremacy. But the Republican from the Mississippi Valley appears in Chicago and informs his Eastern friend that in the Middle West MT. Bryan this year promises to be a tough morsel.

Washington Herald.
 Once before there was a convention much like the one at Chicago--a ma chine e-made, officially directed assem- bly, that perfunctorily carried out . cut-and-dri program prepared at Washington.
 It chilled everybody in attendance. took the heart and spirit out of dele gates and onlookecs alike, and sent them home sore and sorrowfuL. It's methods served to wet-blanket party hopes the country over,
 That convention was held at Minne- apolis in Che wear of our Lord 1892, In the election following the Republi- can Party was all but wiped off the face of the earth at the hands of an opposition led by a candidate who had met a crushing defeat four years be- fore and whose party in his own State bitterly fought his third nomination and only predicted his defeat at the polls.
 All this happened only sixteen years ago. It is fresh in the minds of party men today. Nowhere is 1t so wildly recalled as at Chicago.
 But the steam roller rolls on.
