.CannOn's Fortune.

Writing of Mr.. Bryans inquiry of Speaker Cannon
as to where the latter got his fortune, the Lynch
burg News, edited by Congressman Carter Glass,
uses this exceedingly plain lanuage:
''It has been known that speaker of the house
of representatives Mr. Cannon has had power to
shield corrupt monopoly methods from attack and
exposure. 1t is known that he has stood close to
great law-breaking agencies, such as the Standard
Oil company It is known that he has had power
to pack committees in manner to win the approval
of predatory wealth. 1t is known that as prince
among tariff standpatters he has earned the pro-
found good will of protected interests And in
many ways it is known that he has had power to
throttle the peoples will and permit the selfish hand
of Wall street magnates to be the potential factor
in shaping legislation How have you used such
influence and what did you get for it, Mr. Cannon
Have YOU feathered your nest with the down OF
ei1ded corruption? Have you sold your wares IN
the marts of putocracy? Have you, as speaker OF
the house. crushed popular sovereignty for a price
that reached and passed the million total? Have
YOU Judas-1ike, betrayed your trust, because vile
money-lust SO impelled? If not, where did you get
it, Mr.. Cannon-your large fortunes? You sheer
at my means of making money! challenge the IN
tegrity of YOUR way of making a large part OF your
money Now toe the mark! Answer how much
you have and from what source it has come. We
say that in our judgment this line OF thought was
in Mr. Bryans mind when he assailed Speaker Can
non His request for light will probably never be
curiosity with reference to Mr.. Cannon which is
not likely to know abatement during the present
campaign And it is we'll that this should be So
Mr. Cannon-Mr Cannon's methods, aye, and Mr.
Cannons ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the burning
issues of the campaign"

representative of the national committee of
the democratic party in Boise this week looking
over the situation in the state. To him the chair
man of the Mormon state committee recently incar-
mated by the supreme court, said there was no hope
or expectation of carrying the "legalized" state
ticket.
Of course not. The game was to save the mem
bers of the Mormon church from possibility of
punishment for their continuous violation of law and
the whole miserable scheme has been worked to
that end under the noses of an outraged people.
Without much question, the democratic state tick
ct would have been elected, Gentle republicans

Every move strengthens the humiating conviction
that the Jack Mormon boosters of a pretended
democratic faction have been working for pay for
cash Money is powerful lever when it enters the

Type Setting Invention.

Boston Transcript: A machine of Importance per-
haps to book and newspaper printing has just been
invented in Vienna. 1t is manipulated very much IN
the same way as typewriting machine but instead
of typewriter sheet of paper it producers matriX
ready for the stereotyper thus dispensing with the
necessity of an ordinary composing machine. Many
different kinds of type at the disposal OF the
OPERATOR and change of type can be secured by
single touch Outwardy the machine resembles
typewriter. There arrangements for advancing
the matrix, and for equazing the lines. Syllables
that are in frequent use can be stamped with one
touch. and from seventy to eighty words can be
ilv printed in a minute The number of type wheels
is so arranged that no extra manipulation is neces
sary for small capital letters. 1t is claimed Tor
this machine that the of printing will be reduced
ninety per cent and that the matrx will be produced
with such rapidity that newspaper work can be be-
gun much later and fresh news be inserted upon the
matrix in few minutes after the paper has gone to
press. Corrections the matrx are made by smear
ing over the part with marix material and stamping
fresh letters upon it. The machine occupies but
little room about the space OF an ordinary writing
table 1t produces matrix from two inches up to
two Yards width. The type is OF steel The IN
ventor is Viennese journalist
Interviewed, the inventor of the machine (Herr
Hugo Petermann) says: My machine outWardly
resembles and is worked just like a typeWr1t1ng
machine but it turns out perfect matr1X ready tor
being stereoyped The typist has at his disposal all
kinds of type on type wheels which are fixed at the
end of type levers The number of types depends on
the size of the type wheels A type wheel Tor thirty
six different sorts of type from the smallest to the
largest size (Which require thlrty-s1x boxes),
has a diameter of 25 centlmetres. On each side OF
the surface of the type wheels is fixed cogwhee
which works an arrangement by which all the type
wheels are simultaneously set on the type desired
There are separate type levers for small and capital
letters; also for the most frequent sylabes, as ln
un I'D for, ETC. This saves the typist much labor
enabling him to write seventy or eighty words a
minute so that the reporters dictaon gets into the
matrix almost with the speed of shorthand writing:
There is an arrangement for symmetrically stamping
type into the matrx only much of the latter be-
ing balanced as the depth of the type requires By
another arrangement the equalization of the lines at
their ends is effected. Alterations of passages in
the text easily made by cutting them out of the
matrix, and putting in fresh matter. AS to illus
tratons, cliches (stereoyped pates( of any size or
shape are stamped on the matrix before the typist
begins his work. He then type the text all round
the cliche if necessary"
Of course, this is not the first time that matrix
machine has been invented. The idea of the limo
type machine began in that way, but owing to the

An Unreliable Citizen.

Regarding President Roosevelt's support of the
charges preferred by Mr.. Hearst against Governor
Haskell, John W. Kern, democratic nominee for the
vice presidency, said in a speech at Baltimore:
"These charges made by man hitherto de-
nounced by the president as utterly unworthy. In
fact the president during the last campaign in New
York sent Secretary Root to that state to denounce
that not only unfit for public office, but to
charge that he in measure responsible for the
assassination of President Mckinley.
"The president of the United States who has
had much to say about square DEAL seized upon
the unsupported charge of the man referred to- and
yesterday proceeded to rail Historically at the
democratic party for having the treasurer of its
convicted his positive denial without hearing
charges made by man on whose reliability Mr..

LOVE AND MARRIAGE ABROAD.

Boy-and-GirI Friendships of America
 Unkn0wn in Europe.
 Everybody's Magazine.
 The European man thinks he knows the American girl, but he judges her by the girls of his own country and therefore entirely fnisunderstands her. He cannot comprehend the heaithy, un- romantic friendships which exist in America between boys and girls, who see each other under all sorts of in- formal circumstances and yet have no thought of love or sentiment. He thinks the American girl has long had experience in the ways of men. and that she Is as well versad in the manner of lovers as the experienced married fiirts of Parisian and Roman society. Used to men she Is: but not to the sort of men she meets for the first time abroad. She Is used to the type of boy "that she has known all her life" She can fathem what he thinks on pretty much any subject, and whether he is in love with her or not, is matter that she can decide without much danger of mistake Above all, the American youth is outspoken and frank. He has no hidden or ul- terior motives: he spends little time in discussing what he thinks. He likes best to show his muscle and his skin in athletics, and the intimacy between boys and girls Is founded on doing things together, riding, swimming, playing tennis, or coastinE and skat- ing; not on talking of ideas
 Yet--and this is very important and also very difficult to express: Tn the minds of American young men love and marriage are synonymous. To the European, love is love. and marriage is marriage; the two have not of nec- essity any connection.

WOMEN IN OFFICIAL LIFE.

Results of Elections in Bohemia ana
 Norway--swedtsh POIicewomen. New York Sun.
 The progress of women in onhciai life in Europe is Slow. but it cannot be doubted that progress Is being made,
 within the last few weeks women appeared for the first time as candi. dates for election to the Bohemian Diet. It had been demonstrated as a legal proposition that If they ful- filled the other requirements their sex was no bar to their election.
 So far their candidacy stands mere lv as a demonstration. Two women received votes of some importance. One. Maria Jumore. who ran in the District of HoheAsnauth. had IA votes. while the man who won had 592. In Prague the Social Demo- crats made a woman, Miss Macheva, their candidate. She boiled about 20 per cent of the total vote.
 The woman suffragists of Norway were disappointed at the outcome of the local election in Christiana. Tn all the other parts of the country they elected important delegations to the Commercial Councils. In the Capital only flee women were chosen in a total of eighty-four City Councillors. There is an active agitation going on all over the country to bring the women and men--voters of Christiana to a diff. ferent frame of mind.
 Of advances made where the suf- frage was not involved. the appoint ment of three women policemen in Stockholm is an instance. The au. thoritfes have determined to expefi- ment with them. They are to have salaries of 1,50O gronen, or about $390 a year, to begin with.
 England also has just named her first woman school physician. She is Miss Sophy B. Jackson. M. D., and she has been appointed in the Bor. ough of Croydon.
