He is such a quest man, and so little given to display of self-advertising that outside of his own State and here In Washington, his unusual ability in several directions 4s not generally appreciated. When 1 tell you that he did more than any other man to organize the silver suc- cess at Chicago, and then did more than any other man to keep it in bounds, suppressing Altgeld and TI- man and the other Amarchistic ele- ments as muth as he could while using them, you will get some idea of the varied powers of Chairman Harrity's reputation in the Senate as a mau S8 BNA seems S - Bass Gast, s UNITED TYPOTHETAE.

He is, personally, frank, brave and honest, and possesses the respect and regard of the best men on both sides of the Senate. He is a strict Presbyterian, like his candidate, Bryan, domestic in his tastes, with a delightful home life. He is a Missis- sippian 'bysbirth, and will be 57 next September. In his autoblography in the Congression Directory he says he \was a private soldier during the 'late unpleasantness' on the losing side.\ Since 1878 he has been active in poli- tics, and since the 47th Congress he has been serving in the House and Senate hero, beginning with three terms in the House, and (taking his seat in the Schate at the beginnings! fe has grown gradually into leadership on his side, and he is now recognized as fully entitled to that honor. ) He is a tall, well built man, hand- some in face and figure, with gray hair and .a short gray beard, but with the eye and step of youth. He has many original ideas, and it is not strange that he has suggested Washington as the best place for the headquarters of the new national committee, or rather of the executive campaign committee,. This suggestion is such an excellent one that It is very apt to be adopted. | The congressional campaign commit- tees of both parties have always had their headquarters here, and havo found it most convenient to do their campaigning from this centre of in- formation, with the official records of all the branches of the Government near at hand. Inasmuch as both sides recognize that, the Senate being prac- tically beyond the reach of the gold men, this camp ign - must - be for the control of the House of Repre- sentatives as well as for the election of the President and vice-President, 4t will be desirable for the two Demo- cratic campaign committees to be to- gether here.

When these people tell you that they want good money you tell them that money may be too good; it may be so good that you may pray for it and wish for it, but you can't get hold of It. We want a dollar that will be just, and not a dollar which will only reward the men who own money.\ Of all the curses that can be inflicted on a nation by legis- lation the worst is an appreciating money standard, because appreciating money means falling prices and no le- gitimate business can be transacted profitably on a falling market. The speculator may make money out of such a system, but the plain business man who looks to stable markets with small but sure returns is a certain: loser, 'The only sound money is stable money-money that does not change in value.-Indianapolis Sentinel. «uccessor, who had already made his |.

A cheap and effective substitute for putty to stop cracks in woodwork is made by soaking newspapers in a paste made by boiling a pound of flour in three quarts of water and adding a teaspoonful of alum. The mixture should be of about the same consistency as putty, and should be forced into the cracks with a case knife. It will harden like papier mache, and when dry may be painted or stained to match its sure roundings, when it will be almost im~ perceptible. New Cure for \the Snakes.\ A new soporific, to which, the name pellotin has been given, has been dis- covered in a Mexican cactus called an- halonium.

One grain of pellolin is equal in its effects to 15%, grains of trional and 31 grains of hydrate of chloral. It is effective in quieting delirium tremens only in large doses. i Experiment in Lighting. A new experiment in lighting has been made in the room containing the Raphael cartoons at the South Kensing- ton museum. Instead of clear glass, Inyers of green, yellow and blue glass are used; this gives a white light, elim- inates actinic rays and prevents the picture from fading. painters Meee Weight of an Infant.

GOOD ROADS. ._ Under the Mogul emperors extensive systems of roads were constructed in India, connecting all leading points in the peninsula. L Much attention was paid to paved roads in Greece, and an excellent sys- tem of roads ram from Athens to all parts of the peninsula. After the confiscation of monastery property in Spain by the state, much of the proceeds were devoted to the mak- ing of roads. India, a country half as big as the United States, has 58,000 miles of pub- lic highway, much of which is kept in order by the government. In 1874 a road club, for the improve- ment of country roads in England, was established by a society of persons in- 'terested in coaching. In the commonwealth of Massachu- setts the state builds the principal roads, and the counties and towns bear the cost of the branch roads. The continent of Europe has 982.500 miles of public highway, most of which is kept in good condition by special provincial or departmental taxes. The East India company began, and afterward the British government con- tinued, the construction of roads in India, and now all parts of the penin- sula are well provided. The Carthaginians were excellent road builders. Portions of the roads leadiqg from Carthage east and west along the sea coast of Tunis and Tripoli are still to be found. THE WORLD'S sons or mars.

SCHOOL NoTEsS. In the public schools of Germany the bright pupils are separated from: the stupid ones. Medical men do the sort- ing. In Sweden the education of journal- ists is treated as a function of the state. Under this system the young journalist gains a knowledge of the world by trav- cling at the expense of the taxpayer.

The pupils are to have everything of the best, the best hotels will be patronized and the jour- ney made altogether as comfortable as possible. The total cost of the tour for each traveler will be $220. s AMERICAN WHEELS. They Are in Growing Demand in All Parts of the World. During the ten months between July, 1895, and April, 1896, the value of bi- cycles furnished by the United States to Europe \and the rest of mankind\ has exceeded $1,000,000. Prior to July, 1895, the exportation of American wheels was too trifling for considera- tion. It is the American tourist that has been the missionary of the Amer- ican cycle manufacturer. Young Amer- ica went abroad and took his wheel with him-her wheel also. Along the shady lanes of England, on the smooth causeways of Ireland, along the banks of the Rhine on the prado of Madrid, on the boulevards of Paris, in Vienna, and in St. Petersburg, the Amgrican wheel was seen, and its lightness and strength admired. And so foreign markets were: opened to American makers. . The foreign trade is but in its infan cy. The returns for May show that from New York alone wheels of the} value of $220,176 were exported. This is ar the rate of more than $2,600,000 a year.

There are po- tentialities of the American wheel, beyond what imagination as yet has: conceived of. NEW REPAIR STAND. Designed for Use of Those Who Care for Their Own Wheois, . One of the latest additions to the long list of bicycle novelties and con- veniences is the repair stand and bench. It combines the recommendations of utility and cheapness, and is designed! for the use of cyclists who care for their. own wheels, as well as for repairers. The wheel is placed in an inverted posi- tion on the bench, the saddle being held. in place by cleats, while upright sup- ports at the other end of the bench, with adjustable pegs, serve to retain the handle-bars. Under the shelf of the WHEEL REPAIR STAND. rials. - One of the claims of thé inventor is that the device not only holds the wheel in a convenient position and height for work, but believes the tires from pressure when they are repaired; A novel feature of the invention is its introduction in cycling road-houses and at cycling resorts. - Every wheelman has had unpleasant experience of the { absence of a simple kit of tools for emergency repairs. A number of the boulevard inns and other rendezvous for cyclists have purchased the litti¢ bench, equipped it with tools, and placed it at the service of their patrons within a week or two. The idea of g repair kit in an emergency is attractive znough to commend its originator tq the good graces of wheelmen.-Chicage Tribune. 4 Ride Rainbow Hued Wheels. Althoughnearlyall theleading manu facturers of bicycles endeavor to main: tain a standard color in the wheels they manufacture, there seems to be a craze for colored wheels, which is afreque'ni cause of delay in the delivery of ma chines ordered. Black is the favorite, and is likely to remain so for a long time, but the shades of green, maroon, blue, and bronzes are now popular, and especially in the cheaper grades of | wheels any color desired is furnished, The wheel is now 'ofien bought to match the costume of the rider, and nauses the manufacturer endless trouble i in making the two match. L_ _L Over-Indulgeace Is Dangerous, It is possible for wheelmen to injure themselves physically by an overin- dlugence in wheeling, in taking to the exercise ravenously at the start of their cycling careers. As soon as a person: buys a wheel the first thought is for a, - spin over the country roads. - Consid- erable discretion should be exercised in this. respect. - Begin by taking short rides, and increase them in proportion: to the strength developed. By follow- \ing this method it will relieve the rider of many strains and stiff joints that al- ways ensue when wheelmen exhaust ; themselves by riding too much at the outset. 5.979 . bench is a drawer for tools or mate- *a return to Chinese exploitation of the people by a \ In Defense of the Salvation Army. ‘In July, 1895, the Salvation Army 'seemed to interest Mr. Bryan and he- wrote an editorial defending it. He. said:. | The Salvation Army is not a nul- >> sance. It is \noisy but Satan is a - rather noisy fellow himself, and no one. © can object if these people choose to \fight the devil with fire.\ *:* * If it: : 4s \a noisy crowd,\ the noise will nev- er induce any man or woman to do wrong, and there are thousands of in- 'stances where this \noise\ has induced many persons to quit their meanness, Such an organization is entitled not only to respect but to the gal-nest co- . operation of every good citizen. ‘4 Editor Bryan's Valedictory. | 7% 'The last editorial written. by Mr. (Bryan appeared on July 1, nine days 'before he was nominated. It was an answer to the charge made by the \Atchison Globe that he had advise? 2 the people to always oppose the baqk- 2 ers. The following extract contains, the germ of Mr. Bryan's arglgmen}; J The banker is a man, nothing mors, rothing less, and his opinions are en- titled to all due consideration. But no man should permit another man to do his thinking for him. There are, many bankers who are sincere and consistent bimetallists. There - are: others who are sincere gold bugsp There are some who advocate the sin- gle gold standard when they do not believe its preservation will be bene-. 43 ficial to the country, but for reasons. vAe sga 'best known to themselves they adhere to the advocacy of that standard. -| i The opinions of all bankers are on- titled to unusual consideration because of their experience in 'financial mat- <- ters, but the banker must be able ta iback up his opinion with logic. wit Because the banker has had Wide‘ experience in money matters is no} reason that another man should be- lieve the banker's mere statement that black is white, particularly when the other man knows that black is no# _ ti iwhite. THR CANDIDATES COMPARED. :The New York Journal Supports‘ Bryan. | 'The manner in which the opl'mn'entst of the ticket nominated at Chicago 'have begun their campaign must rouse the profoundest resentment of every 'American ~regardful of the interests -and jealous of the honor of his coun- try. The representatives of half of the American people have been de- - mounced in delirious language as an- archists, cutthroats and swindlersg. Their chosen candidate for the highest office in the republic has been pictur- ed as a crazy Jacobin or a designing demagogue. Commerce and industry have been threatened with the very' panic these alarmists 'have professed . to fear. hoy \od ! 'The crusade has been one of reckless misrepresentation from the start. The . libelers of the late convention know that the Chicago platform is not an- archical. In most respects it is inspir- ed by enlightened progressiveness. The anarchical elements in the convention were distinctly frowned upon. The mild implied criticism of the majority _ of the supreme court, or, rather, of . the one justice who changed his mind, was thoroughly well deserved, and might have been- made much stronger . ~ without impropriety.© Since whemhave -~ we been 'endowed with inafilible© judges, whose acts are above criticism? If the advocacy of the just and scien- ~ tific principle of the taxation of large incomes, was anarchistic, then. every! statesman in England is an anarchist, - and, instead of searching the cellars of the houses of parliament for barrels of gunpowder, the authorities ought to search the pockets of every mem- iber for bombs. The income tax is the 'backbone of the British financial sys- tem; it is about to be introduced, in a. graduated form at that, into France, and it already exists in its most ex- /' treme degree in Germany. {- ) The platform reaffirms the principle, indorsed by a vast majority of the peo- ple:of the United, States, of a tariff for revenue only and protests against the disturbance to business that would be - caused by a return to McKinleyism; There is nothing incendiary in that. In this point it is the Chicago 'plat- form that'is conservative and the one adopted at St. Louis that is revolution« ary. 1 ; ''We hold,\ adds the Democratic profession of faith, \that the most éf- - ficient way of protecting American la- 1. 'bor is to prevent the importation of - foreign pauper labor to compete with dt in the home market.\ 'That is Hon» est, straightforward protection, the only kind that does what it pretends to do. * 1 } Nor is it possible with any more sincerity to call Mr. Bryan a dema- gogue. He is the very reverse of a demagogue. He follows the truth as he sees it, though it lead him to po- - ditical destruction. Last year he could | muster only 10,000 votes. for his fac- tion in Nebraska out of over 180,000, - 'but he had no thought of, compro- mise. He fought on, regardless of vic- tory or defeat, thinking only of what he believed to be right. If he had not 'been nominated, nobody would have dreamed of calling him a demagogue, His spirit is rather that of a prophet. | ) On the other side we have William McKinley < bound hand, foot - and tongue to the most corrupt combina- tion that ever exhibited itself openly, in an American presidential campaign, His election would put the resources of the Government at the disposal of the Hanna syndicate. It would mean protection and the ci ous ring of mandarins. It would mean in the end a popular revolt be~ fore which affrightened conservatism might pray for a leader with the mod- erate instincts of Bryan. emz nisi, J If We Had Courage. ‘ Mr. Lidderdale, who was formerip governor of the Bank of England, and is still one of its directors, is quoted as saying to an American correspond- ent: 'Your country if it saw fit and had the courage of its convictions, could force the issue of silver restor- ation on us, because in so doing you would win the trade of the silver us- ing countries, such as India, China, Japan, Mexico and South America, to such an extent that England and Mu- rope generally would be compelled to follow suit in order to retain theig- prestige in those congltnies.\ q- got
