The People are WAITING.

We apologize to Longfellow for con-

when he said "All things come around
to him who will but wait" To him
who does nothing but wait, nothing
comes except by chance, and then,
usually, too late to do him any good
Nevertheless, there must be periods
of waiting for the results of what one
has done. Results that count for
much are seldom instantaneous.
The people gave our party great
victory in the last election. They
did this for purpose. They are wait.

We do not want to speak unkindly
OF 'progressiyes" who call themselves
republicans, while they have accepted
practically every policy which Mr..
Bryan has advocated for the last fif-
teen years; but they are not acting
quite manly in claiming that those
policies originated with themselves.
nor in claiming the whole credit for
SO much as was done by the last con-
gress mot much by the way for the
benefit of the common people, as
against the interests. Neither are
the progressive republicans sagacious
in making these claims. The whole
country knows that Mr.. Bryan was
the originator of the policies that
have been gaining accuracy in the
country in recent years, and the little
band of republican progressives in
congress accomplished nothing what
ever except to assist the democratic
minority. This was good and brave
and patriotic on their part, of course,
but they have claimed too much
credit for themselves; just as Roose-
Yelt claimed himself to be the author
of Bryan's policies; foolish claim,
and one which was at once challenged
by the stand-patters of his party, as
soon as they abandoned him. Every
body knew, and had known for years,
that those policies, to which Roosevelt
never gave more than pretended sup
port, for clap-trap and to gain popu-
larity and credit that did not Justly
belong to him, were the policies of
Mr.. Bryan. 1t is an every day ex-
perience, now, to pick up a republi-
can paper and read something like the
following, which is clipped from the
Springfield Republican of Massachus-
etts:
cage has mellowed William Jen-
nings Bryan, not to speak of the miti-
eating effect of the acceptance of his
ideas that were once fought with
fiery bitterness. There is both humor
and truth in this statement of Mr..
Bryan made before the Boston City
club: "If / ever think of running
again for the presidency and | do
not-with these two men Roosevelt
and Taft carrying out so many things
| have advocated, / am afraid some
republican would raise the third-term
cry on me, and say had already had
two terms of my policies" 1t is just
as well now and then for the unthink-
ing to be brought face to face with
the fact that the man best entitled to
the copyright on 'my policies" lives
in Nebraska and not in Oyster Bay,
l.. l."
The Springfield Republican is one of
the few newspapers of progressive
republican tendencies that is honest
and manly enough to admit the truth
as to who should have credit for the
progressive republican" policies, so
called; but which are neither more
nor less than the well known "Bryan
policies"

men was being taken down to Austria
liza. The vessel was wrecked upon a
reef close to Rossel island, New GUM
ca. The officers escaped in boats, but

for the Cinnamon, numbering 326, the
natives captured them and put them
on small barren island, where they
had no food and no means of getting
away. They kept their prisoners sup
piled with food from the mainland
and every now and then carried away
a few Of them to eat until all but one
old man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting away
and told something of the story, which
seems to have met with general disbe-
lief. True it is, however, on the evil
dence of the sons of lose who did the

COMPRESSED ICE.
Sinks In Water and Crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.

POWDER when Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice will float.
This relative lightness of ice with re-
spect to water is due to expansion Of
the wafer at the moment of freezing.
If water is frozen under immense
pressure it seems that this expansion
is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter is produced
G. Tamman has prepared this modi-
fication, which he calls Ice Ill, as
follows: He compressed water TO 5000
Kilograms 6,614 pounds) and cooled
it in solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally in liquid air. Under these con
ditions a colorless, transparent ice is
formed. 1t is much denser than ordi-
nary ice and heavier than water: con-
sequently it sinks when placed in wa
ter. Ice III. is very unstable, and on
slight warming it swells out and
breaks up into a dense white powder.
The volume of the resulting powder
is apparently four to eight times that
of the original ice. This powder form
ed by the breaking up of the dense
form is nothing more than ordinary
ice in the form of fine crystals, which,
of course, on further warming melt at
zero degrees centigrade
Experiments on Ice III. show that it
is impossible to obtain it by separa-
ton from water at atmospheric pres
sure and then suddenly cooling. There
would never be possibility Of this
unstable form of solid water being
formed in nature.-New York Tribune.

Imnrisonment For Debt.

About the middle of the last cen
fury the power of imprisoning a debt
or for life was taken from the creditor,
and it fills one with amazement to
think that system so ridiculous
should have continued as long as it
did. The three principal debtors pris-
ons in England were the Kings Bench,
the Marshalsea and the Borough
Compiler In the year 1859 there were
10000 prisoners for debt in Great Brit
ain and Ireland The futility of the
system was quite as great as its bar
barity. More than half the prisoners
in some of the prisons were kept there
solely because they could not pay the
attorneys costs. Many prisoners had
their wives and children with them.
There was no infrmary, no resident
surgeon and no bath. Imagine a place
in these days containing 1899 persons
and no bath and no infirmary! We
have indeed progressed. Dundee Adj

How Far Can You Seer

What is the farthest limit to which

the ability to see the star Alcor, situat-

the test. Indeed, the Arabs call it
the test star. 1t is most exceptional
to be able to see Jupiter's satellites

cases are recorded, the third satellite
