tective system has been unsparing. It
is doubtful, however, whether any Of
the persons to whom the inquiry is ad-
dressed will be so outspoken in their
advocacy of free trade. AS for favor
ing tariff for revenue only, all Demo-
Gratis will be united, and a majority of
them will also favor free raw material
and the placing of revenue duty only
upon manufactured goods. The grant
ing of independence to the Filipinos is
rot likely to be an issue on which pub
lie sentiment can be aroused. 1t was
failure when interjected into previous
campaign, while the enactment of legls-
lation compelling banks to insure de-
positors, which is one of Bryan's pet
theories, and which came to disas-
trous end in Oklahoma, will be another
stumbling block.
Il is evident that all those who answer
the questions in the affirmative will be
classed as Bryan Democrats, while
those who halt, deny, or evade will be
placed upon the other side. Some may
question, of course, Mr.. Bryan's wis

doubt that he proposes to keep himself

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
THE FIRST WHITE CHILD
BORN IN AMERICA.
BY A, w. MACY.

On July 22, 1887, a colony sent
out by Sir Walter Raleigh land
ed at Roanoke, Va. In this col
ony. It is said. were ninety-one
men, seventeen women, and nine
children. The colony was in
corporated as The Borough Of
Raleigh in Virginia" and John
White was chosen governor. His
daughter, August Eleanor, had
married one Of the colonists, a
young man named Dare. On
August is Mrs. Dare gave birth
to a daughter. to whom was
given the name Virginia. She
was the first white child born in
America. Shortly after her birth
Gov. White returned to England
for supplies. He remained longer
than he had intended. and when
he finally got back to Roanoke
the colony had disappeared. He
searched long and anxiously for
the missing members. among
whom were his daughter and his
grandchild. But the lost colony
was never found. Probably the
older members were massacred
by the Indians and the children
scattered among the various
tribes. Thus the first white child
born In America, IL she grew up
to womanhood. probably passed
her life In savagry and remem-
bered nothing Of the days OF
civilization.

FAIL TO SECURE
INCREASED WAGES
Locomotive Firemen to Continue
at Old Scale.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Reprsentatives
of the $4,000 locomotive firemen EN-
ployed on sixty-one Western railroads
and the general managers, who have
been comforting over a dispute as to
the wages to be paid on certain
class of engines, have failed to reach
an agreement and the wages will con-
tinue the same.
A year ago an arbitration board gave
firemen on engines with twenty-four
inch cylinder or over. and on COM
pound engines weighing over 215,000
pounds, $3.75 per day.
The general managers claimed this
was mistake, as many of the engines
were equipped with superheaters that
reduced the amount of coal burned to
the same level as the smaller classes
of engines. The firemen wanted an
increase of 20 per cent in wages in
lieu of the award of the arbiters.
