There has arisen between Mr.. Bryan
and Senator Bailey a colloquial contro-
versy over the question OF the tariff
A Joint debate between these two men
had been anticipated at Atlanta, Ga
until Mr. Bryan announced that nc had
to fill engagements previously made. In
fuller explanation Mr.. Bryan, who
evidently is disinclned to engage in
such a debate, gives as a reason that
such a debate between two Democrats
would accentuate the tariff differences
that have embarrassed our party i'll
Congress and give the Republican news
popers a chance to dwell upon Demo-
cratic dissensions instead Of devoting
their time to the contest now being
wagcd between the progressive Repub-
licans and the stand-patters. 3"
And Mr.. Bryan is right.
As an orthodox Democrat Mr.. Bryan
is steadfast to the principles of his
party, and he stands unqualidcdly for
the demands Of the National Democracy
for free raw materials.
As Democrat Senator Bailey may
be classed with the men in Congress
who have pursued their own course even
dehantly. regardless of the platform OF
the National Democracy on the ques-
ton of the tariff, and therefore IN de-
Tending or in explaining his action dur
ing the special session Of Congress he
would precipitate i'll feelings and arouse
resentment which would be detrimental
to the party's tmifcation, if It be pos
sihle to align the discordant elements iii
an harmonning whole for the fight for
the next Congress.
During the last session of Congress it
has developed that there are so-called
protection Democrats who should be i'll
the ranks of the Republican party and
it is not singular that such men are
open and even rabid in their criticisms
of Mr.. Bryan, but they can no longer
pose in false coors. With all their pro-
LESSONS of loyalty to the party which
has honored and trusted them, they can
no longer command the confidence of
the Democracy It is the Caucasian's
opinion that men of this calibre should
be relegated to the rear. In the attitude
of leaders they weaken the Democracy
and strengthen the Republicans. In
having declined to meet Senator Bailey
in joint debate, Mr. Bryan should be
commended Such discussion would
do no good to the party, but would give
undue prominence to Senator Bailey

The remarkable sense of direction
which enables pigeon TO find its way
back to the cote even from a consider
able distance has long been used for
the conveyance Of written messages.
Through carrier pigeon it was that
Rothschild in 1875 was informed of the
fortunate issue Of the battle of Water
loo three days before the Englishsgov-
ernment, which enabled him to carry
out his we'll known operations on the
exchange Carrier pigeons proved them
selves most useful in 1871 during the
siege of Paris for the conveyance of
rather extensive documents reduced by
microphotography The very interesting
use was also made of carrier pigeons
i'll medical practice, for conveying pre-
scriptions to the chemists shop.
1t has been found that pigeon is able
to carry weight of IS grains and if
this be attached to its back where the
bird is strongest, to transport it quite
easily to distances Of 100 to $50 kilo-
meters.
It occurred to DIR. Newbronnes, the
Cronstadt apothecary, who had utilized
carrier pigeons for supplying his shop
with indictments out of stock, that he
might attach to pigeon on long flight
a small Photographic camera, which
would allow some distinct views to be
taken during the fight of about twenty
meters second. After testing the cam
era from an express train DIR. New
bronnes proceeded to perform his first
experiment on csSrier pigeons as pho
tographers and the first pictures, which
were 2x2 centimeters in size, were con-
sidered quite satisfactory as preliminary
results. The camera was fixed to the
pigeons breast with a thin board of
wood and kept in position of the back
of the bird by means of straps. A small
rubber ball allowing the air slowly es-
cape. affected the instantaneous opening
of the shutter. As the air issued from
the ball the latter collapsed more and
more, while disengaging the shutter at
regular intervals, which were readily
predetermined Dr. Newbronnes was
thus able to secure light consecutive
views, but the capacity of the apparatus
is likely to be increased up to thirty
views. After being satisfied BY the de-
monstration of Photographic records
accurately taken hy pigeons. the Ger
man patent office granted Dr. New
bronnes a patent for his invention. Spe-
ciel interest was aroused in some views
taken of the park in Fredrichshop Cas-
tie, accessible to nobody, which striking
ly demonstrates the possibility Of using
carrier pigeons for obtaining pictures of
beleagured forts. - Technical World

A WOMAN AT THE HEAD.

Chicago has turned over the manage
meut Of her $so.oOo,ooO school system
to a woman She is Of course an un-
usual woman, but all the same she is a
woman and has displaced man. Mrs
ELLA Flagg Young was elected superin-
tendent Of school in that city July IS.
Her salary was placed At $4,000, while
that Of her assistant, John y. Sharp
was half that amount. There were I'M
usual circumstances about this remark
able selection. In the first place the Of
fee of the superintendent in Chicago
has been customary source of turbu-
lence for many months, and yet 4 wom-
an was chosen to subdue the unruIy fac
tons. In the second place Mrs. Young
is o. years old She is vigorous and
alert, but it is quite certain chat no man
at that age would have been elected
And in the third place Mrs. Young was
the one woman in list Of sixty edu-
Gators selected by special committee
as fitted for the place.
Mrs. Young is a Chicago woman.
She was born in Buffalo. N, Y, Janu-
AIRY IS, tS45. She was brought TO Chi
cage by her parents few years later
and there she has lived since. Her edu-
cation was received in the schools she
now rules, and some of the pupils she
taught in the lower grades are now her
assistants on the Board of Education.
This woman who has fought her way
into the second highest executive posi-
ton in the public schools Of this coun-
try has the simple tastes and the gem
tic manners of the old school woman.
For twenty-five years she has been a
widow, and the mother love in her has
been given to the thousands Of children
she has taught and befriended ever since
the day fifty years ago when she became
teacher i'll the old Foster school Mrs.
Young is not an advocate of woman
suffrage; but she has opened the road
as she says to the kind of suffrage
wmoen need. She means by that that
work we'll done is paid for in money
and power and honor by the world
