FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1001.

WITH one exception. Colonel Bryan claims that he has done as well as any other Democratic candidate of the past forty years. ......

AMONG the several states and territories Oklahoma shows the largest percentage of increase, according to the census of 1900.

SOME of the local oil companies at Beaumont are capitalized at a figure that is calculated to strike terror to the Rockefellers.

A CONSOLIDATION of all the'libraries in America would bring 40,000,000 books together. Indiana is responsible for a majority of them.

MIJ, PETTIGREW is mentionod /or the head of a railroad enterprise. The title of it will naturally be shortened into the Contraction and Pessimist line.

ALTHOUGH there was a flurry on Wall street last month, the failures for May are much fewer than they were a year ago. A panic without failures is a good innovation.

"How are we to declare the Democratic party's present condition," says Mr. Altgeld, "when we do not know what that condition is?" The conundrum is indeed a poser.

PETTIGREW says he would rather vote for Hanna than for Hill. The Ohio senator has sustained many hard knocks, but he will hardly be prepared for Pettigrew's support.

THE latest airship man says he expects to travel at the rate of eighty miles an hour. Nearly all of his guild wind up by making better time than that—perpendicularly.

TOM JOHNSON is the only one of the presidental candidates who has picked out his platform for 1904. He is determined not to enter the contest with a lot of unseasoned planks.

A PROMINENT speculator predicts that hereafter corn will not fall below 40 cents. Infallible prophets are scarce, but it is certain that the uses and appreciation of corn are expanding.

A SCIENTIFIC writer asserts that corn was once but a coarse grass, hiding each small seed under a husk. Cultivation has done the rest, which shows the possibilities of intelligent agriculture.

IRELAND is losing population by emigration at the rate of 47,000 a year. Since 1851 Ireland has parted in this way with 3,841,419 inhabitants, of whom 2,003,344 were males and 1,838,075 females.

THE English language is marching on. Australia is now the third largest Engllsh-Bpeaking country in the world. By the recent censuses, English is spoken by 130,000,000 people in the United States and the British Empire.

CANADA'S count of population will hardly reach 5,500,000, a disappointment of at least 500,000 to our neighbors across the border. Business opportunities in the United States continue to attract a large Canadian immigration.

SINCE the passage of the Dingley law the balance of trade in favor of this countrj had increased from $102,000,000 a year to $673,000,000. In spite of this demontration the free trade tinkers want to rip up the present tariff to suit their theories.

LAST year the corn exports of the United States were 213,000,000 bushels, or ten per cent of the total crop. Europe took 193,000,000 bushels,against 24,000,000 bushels in 1890. The corn missionaries sent abroad performed effective work.

IN these days the exports of the United States are almost double the imports For the fiscal year, which ends with next month, the exports will foot up 81,500,000,000 and the imports $850,000,000. The balance of trade, $650,000,000, is one of the greatest instances of expansion the world has seen.

MR. TAGGART, of Indiana, who has been mentioned for chairman of the Democratic national committee, says it 1b time the Democratic party should cease to represent the principle of discontent. Mr. Taggart ought to explain how a party can live when deprived of its entire stock in trade.

DR. EMII- HIRSCII recently said in an address delivered in Chicago: "Faith and courage are contagious Would one accomplish his end in life he must, above all, trust in his own ability to do. So must nations cherish and cultivate self-confidence would they be of use in the economy of the world. Nations must believe that they have a destiny. Much cheap criticism has been poured out to weaken and put to scorn the doctrine of the chosen people. And yet in these days, when science reveals the possibilities so far reaching of hypnotism, who can doubt that thoro is a store of power in the conceit, if conceit it be, which makes a nation assume that it has been chosen for a purpose. The American people will not relinquish their self-confi-dence."

TIIE Porto Ricans are experiencing American prosperity. Business of all ports in the island is better now than it has been in many years. Of course, it will be still better as soon as the islanders become thoroughly Americanized and adopt American methods. The advances, too, which willcomesoon in the island's political status will help all sorts of trade among its people. A full territorial government for the Porto Ricans is sure to be granted within the next few years. Then state government will not be far in the distance. This is the kind of "imperialism" which is in store for the new Americans of the Gulf of Mexico.

SENATOR VEST is said to believe that the recent immense increase in the gold production will destroy all chances for making silver the issue in 1904. Mr. Bryan, however, is understood to be against dropping silver. The candidate of 1896 and 1900 is said to be convinced still that the things which were vital in those years have lost none of their timeliness or their urgency. And there is a chance, too, that the candidate of those years may be the standard bearer of 1904. Of course, Mr. Vest would have to support the ticket, and would not even be allowed to spit upon the platform.

THE increase in the acreage of cotton in Texas, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory^ means a considerable advance in the amount of money which the products of those localities will bring this year. Texas has led all the other states in cotton production for many years, and her lead has been constantly broadening. Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, which did not figure at all as cotton producers until iscently, are now looming up big in this particular. The southwest is the most expansive part of the Unitsd States these days.

THE new census of England and Wales, just taken, shows the kingdom to have a population of 32,525,716, a result which should certainly be regarded by Englishmen as highly satisfactory For the increase since 1891 has been 3,523,191, or 12.15 per cent. That is in actual numbers the largest decennial increase ever recorded, the next largest having been that of 3,2(52,173, in the ten years from 1871 to 1881. In the next decade, the one preceding the last, the increase was only 3,028,086.

THE Boston Herald says of President McKinley: "If left to his own inclinations, he is as little dangerous as a war-maker as any President the nation has ever had. Neither is he a natural imperialist. All his tendencies in this direction are mild." The natural benevolence of the President's character is not unknown to the people. They have understood it intuitively all the time.

A DEMOCRATIC paper in Georgia, the Macon Telegraph, charges that Mr. Bryan is "preparing the way to accept a rump nomination." In that event the Democratic party may brace itself to part with several million votes it obtained by fusion and the acceptance of Bryan's platform.

ANEW YORK company has been organized to build a railroad in Nova Scotia, 235 miles long, and it will receive one of the largest subsidies ever paid by the Canadian government. Americans will run and officer the road. It is no use trying to fence in American enterprise.

The Election Fees.

The persons serving on the election boards at the recent railway election will have to wait awhile for their money. There is no money in the treasury for the expense ana there won't be any until the county council meets and makes an appropriation, which will not be for some time yet. The attorneys have not yet decided whether the county or the railroad promoters will have to pay the expense of the eleotion, but it is likely the county will pay the bill and the same will be deducted out of the subsidy voted the road.

Teachers' Examination.

Thirty-nine persons took the examination for teachers' license at the Central school building Saturday conducted by Supt. W. B. Walkup.

Tlio New York .Journal lias collected the love scenes from several populai novels. Hero are three of them:

Helmet of Navnrre.

M. Etiennc. not venturing to rise, yet lifted beseeching eyes to the king's. "What! You want to get away from me, venrre-saint-gris?"

M.v lord, who wanted precisely that, had no choice but to protest that nothing was further from his thoughts. "Stuff"'' the king exclaimed. "You're in a sweat to be gone, you unmannerly churl! You, a raw, untried boy, are invited to dine with (lie king, and your one itch is to escape the tedium!" "Sire"— "I'eace! You are guilty, sirrah. Take your punishment!"

He darted across the room and. throwing open an inner door, called gently, "Mademoiselle!" "Yes, sire," she answered, coming to the threshold.

The peasant lass was gone forever. The great lady, regal in satins, stood before us. .She bent on the king a little, eager, questioning glance then Rhe caught sight of her lover. Faith, had t'ne sun gone out, the room would have been brilliant with the light of her face.

M. Etienne sprang up and toward lior. And she, pushing by the kintr as if he had been the doorpost, went to him. They siood before each other, neither touching nor speaking, but only looking one at the other like two blind folk by a heavenly miracle restored to sight. "How, now, children! Am I not a

forever? Do you vouch me the very pattern of a king?" Answer he got none. They heard nothing, knew nothing, but each other. The slighted king chuckled and. beckoning ilie, withdrew to his cabinet.

So here an end. For if Ileury of France leave them, you and I may not stay.

Eben Ilolden.

There was an awkward bit of silence. "Well," said she, her fan upon her lips, "tell me more about the war." "Tired of war," I answered. "Love is abetter subject."

She rose and walked up and down the room, a troubled look in her face. 1 thought I had never seen a woman who could carry her head so proudly. "1 don't think yon are very familiar with it." said she presently. "1 ought to be," 1 answered, "having loved you all those years.'' "Hut you told me that—that you loved another girl," she said, her elbow lean-

ing on the mantel, her eyes looking down soberly. "When? \Vherc?" I asked. "In Mrs. Fuller's parlor." "Hope," I said, "you misunderstood me. 1 meant you."

She came toward me then, looking up into my eyes. 1 started to embrace her, but she caught my hands and held them apart and came close to me. "Did you say that you meant me?" she asked in a whisper. "I did." "Why did you not tell me that night?"

She looked very sober and thoughtful then. "I wish I knew," she said, "whether —whether you really love me or not?" "Don't you believe me, Hope?" "Yes, I believe you," she said, "but— but you might not know your own heart." "It longs for you," I said. "It keeps me thinking of you always. Once it was so easy to be happy. Since you have been away it has seemed as if there were no longer any light in the world or any pleasure. It has made me a slave. I did not know that love was such a mighty thing." "Love is no Cupid he is a giant" Bhe said, her voice trembling with emotion, as mine had trembled. "1 tried to forget, and he crushed me under his feet as if to punish me."

She was near to crying now, but she shut her lips firmly and kept back the tears. God grant me 1 may never forget the look in her eyes that moment. She came closer to me. Our lips touched my arms held her tightly. "1 have waited long for this," I said, "the happiest moment of my lifel I thought I had lost you." "What a foolish man!" she whispered. "1 have loved you for years and years, and you—you could not see it. I believe now"—

She hesitated a moment, her eyes so close to my cheek 1 could feel the beat of their long lashes. —"that God made you for me," she added. "Love is God's helper," I said. "He made us for each other." "1 thank him for it. I do love you so," Bhe whispered.

The rest is the old, old story. They that have not lived it are to be pitied.

The Crisis.

Then, overcome by the Incense of her presence, he drew her to him until her heart beat against his own. She did not resist, but lifted her face to him, and he kissed ber. "You love me, Virginia!" he cried."Yes, Stephen," she answered low, mere wonderful in her surrender than ever before. "Yes, dear." Then she hid her face against his blue coat. "1

Froir: Insult you, and when I saw how splendidly you bore it I used to cry." lie kissed her brown hair. "I loved you through it all." he said. "Yes, dearest." "Virginia, did you dream of me?"

She raised her head quickly, and awe was in her eyes. "IIow did you know?" "Because 1 dreamed of you,'" he answered, "and those dreams used to linger with me half the day as I went about my work. I used to think of them as I sat in the saddle on the march." "I, too, treasured them," she said, "and I hated myself for doing it." "Virginia, will you marry me?" "Yes." "Tomorrow?" "YOK. dear tomorrow." Faintly, "I— 1 have no one but you—now."

Once more he drew her to him, and she gloried in his strength. "God help me to cherish you, dear,' he said, "and guard you well."

She drew away from him gently and turned toward the window. "See, Stephen." she cried "the sun has come out at last!"

For awhile they were silent, looking out. Tiie drops glistened on blade and leaf, and the joyous new green of the earth entered into their hearts.

NEW CHICAGO LINE POPULAR

Enruiicnnn I.oolt Witli Fnvor on TraiiMU* I an tic Steamers.

Chicago as a seaport is attracting wide attention of European shippers, and the venture taken by Chicago capital bids fair to turn out a remunerative enterprise. United States Consul Listoe in a communication from Rotterdam to (lie slate depariment says that a shipbroker's linn at that place is advertising in 1 he local papers that it will accept freight to go through with bulk unbroken to Chicago. This is the first time in maritime history that such a step iias been taken, and the foreigners are taking to it quile readily, thus assuring to .ill of the boats of the Northwestern Steamship company return

linporting houses in Chicago have encouraged the project all they can by arranging as near as possible to have their consignments shipped via the new line. They have contributed liberally toward making up export loads for the vessels, and while a good many have been of an experimental character it is understood that they are thoroughly satisfied with the results thus far obtained and ...will ship liberally in the future.

Delays have been experienced by two of the boats, but they were practically inevitable and apt to occur even in ordinary lake navigation. Two of the boats have already demonstrated that the trip can be made in safety and with dispatch and at a small cost to the shipper. Ollicials of the company have no fear for lack of support on part of shippers on this side of the ocean, but up to a short time ago expressed themselves as somewhat uncertain about the foreigners taking hold of a new

I thing. They are usually slow to grasp a situation, preferring to see it well tried before venturing themselves. The way in which they have taken advantage of tiie new scheme since some of the boats have arrived, however, comes as a pleasant surprise, and the promoters are now very sure of success.

TO SUMMER IN BERKSHIRES

Ex-President Cleveland and Wife to Occupy Houm Used by Washington. Former President Grover Cleveland and his family are now domiciled in their summer residence at Tyringliam, in the Berkshire hills, says a Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to the New York Journal. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Riverside the other night. Their children—Esther, who has just recovered from an attack of diphtheria Ruth, Marion and Richard—accompanied by a nurse, arrived the night before.

The farmers in general will extend an invitation to the ex-president to fish their trout streams, whether posted or not. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland will occupy the room which was occupied by George Washin after the battle of Saratoga. Tin ,ber is universally known as Washington's room.

I.esa Wood on British Virihlpi,

The British admiralty has issued an order to the effect that in future warships wood is to be used as little as possible. There are to be no wooden decks, and cabins are to be of steel lined with corticine, says the London MaiL This order is to apply to all ships now building that are not too far advanced for the designs to be altered by having the wood decks and other parts excised from tbem.

The selection by the Association of Police Chiefs of an ex-newspaper reporter as their president was a tribute, says the Kansas City Journal, to the clew bunting ability of the professional Hewsgatherer.

Rheumatism is due to an excess of acid in the blood. When this escapes through the pores of the skin, ss it often does, it produces some form of eruption—some itching disease like Eczema or Tetter—but when these little tubes or sweat glands are suddenly closed by exposure to cold and sudden chilling of the body, then the poisons thrown off by J" the blood, finding no outlet, settle in membranes, l&wmuscles, tissues and nerves. These parts become greatly inflamed, feverish and hot dagger-like, maddening pains follow in quick succession, the muscles become extremely tender, the nerves break down and the sufferer is soon reduced to a state of helplessness and misery. This acid poison penetrates the joints and seems to dry out the natural oils, and the legs, arms and fingers become so stiff and sore that every movement is attended with excruciating pains.

Three yeans apo I had a severe attack of
