FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1001.

CAPT. ALLEN has been suggested as the Democratic candidate for secretary of state. When he heard of the suggestion he fell in a fit and on recovering made haste to decline. His dear .friends blew in $25,000 for him in a fruitless congressional race and the wild old buck does not propose to give the boys a second drag at his reserve fund. He smiles a sickly sorb of smile and states that he is "out of politics." Just between 'us girls he has novor been in politics to any alarming extext.

OUR position on the silver question in 1896 and 1900 was not understood.— Ckas. A. Towne's interview in New York:

Mr. Towne will not be allowed to crawfish. He was put forward as the chief exponent of the silver heresy to explain it and he did it so well that everybody understood that it meant repudiation of honest debts, and of course it was voted down twice. If there is any misunderstanding it is on the part of Mr. Towne not understanding the point to the last two national elections.

Gov. MORTON once said that the Democratic party reminded him of a man riding backwards in a railroad car —for the reason that it never saw anything until it got paBt it. That has been its record since its birth. On every national question it got on the wrong side and never saw its blunder until the Republican party had mouldedits position into national law. For six years the Democratic party clamored for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. On that onestion it met two defeats and the first convention that has been held since gives it up as a dead issue. It could do nothing elso since the opposite has brought unparalleled prosperity. They see it all plain enough now, and there is no better evidence of it than their willingness to drop the matter as an issue.

IN the'call for another convention in Ohio, of the Bryan Democrats, is this significant statement: "If the Democratic party abandons the principles laid down in the platform of 1896, and 1900, then it may as well close its political career, for there is little else of importance to fight for."

This call mainly states the truth. The Republican party has about settled every other question, and with the help of a host of honest Democrats we thought we had settled the money question. Since the Ohio state convention, our hope that the matter is settled is renewed to the point of a finality. So if it is just the same to the Bryan party, it may proceed with its funeral and add one more grave to its graveyard.

HEALTH OF THE PHILIPPINES. With a view to determine the advisability of extending the business of life insurance to the Philippines, Dr. R. J. Sloan,an American physician of Shanghai, has been engaged in studying the subject along scientific lines, and his judgment is in the affirmative. The Philippines are tropical throughout their whole extent, but their climate is better than that of Ceylon or Java. Yellow fever is unknown and malarial diseases are confined to undrained localities. The diseases that have sometimes taken an epidemic form are smallpox, cholera, beri-beri, dysentery, bubonic plague and leprosy, but the chief sufferers are the natives. Few white residents or Chinese are attacked. Tuberculosis is found among poorly nourished natives. The islands area region of severe storms earthquakes are frequent and have sometimes been destructive. In December last the mortality in Manila was 905, made up of 877 natives, Chinese mestizoes20, Span ish 3, English 2, and Americans, ItaV ians and Roumanians 1 each.

These investigations, in Dr. Sloan's opinion, lead to the conclusion that, for ti tropical region, the Philippines are fairly healthy. There are four or livo months in the year when it is too hot for outdoor exercise, and, under such circumstances, high living and heavy drinking leads to disastrous results. The abstemious Chinese stand the cli mate well, and a careful white man -can live continuously in the islands •with reasonable safety. Some of the drawbacks to health will disappear under American rule. Our army has •altered leas than any other belonging t® northern race ever sent Into trop ioftl ••rvice, and its sick list at present Li aofc beyond the average of it

would bo in garrison at home. But our troops have been admirably cared for, and are provided with the best army rations in the world.

Comment And Stoty. I

During the past few nights frog hunting parties have been numerous, and some good catches have been reported. The big hauls have not been made on Walnut Fork, however, but on Black Creek, Cornstalk, and other smaller streams. The tinae was when Walnut Fork, several miles east of town, was the frog hunter's paradise, but it has been worked too strongly during the past few years.

Walter P. Sparks, of this city, is in charge of the Reeves Pulley company exhibit in machinery hall at the Buffalo exposition. In a letter to THE JOURNAL he states that if any of his friends who are coming to the exposition will notify him he can probably give them some valuable Information as to whero to secure good rooms.

It is impossible for contractors here to secure all the men they want, yet each day on the court house corner from twenty to forty Idle men sit and yawn, while on the grass a dozen colored boys, big enough to work, gossip and sleep. These fellows don't want work, and when it

A jeweler: "Whenever your watch gets to running very erratically, the chances are that you have been up against an electric current of some kind and the time piece has become magnetized. It Is very easy to magnetize a watch, and a person should be very careful about electric machinery."

Ben Oliver: "I tell you, the men that are working in those sewer trenches earn their money, no matter how much they are paid. It Is worse than making hay, as they get hardly any air at all, many of them working in holes that are over their heads."

A barber: "You can talk all you want to about these patent hair restorers, but the best thing in the business is common table salt. When you get up of a morning, massage your scalp thoroughly, and then about every two weoks wet your head in a pretty strong solution of salt water. It will keep your hair from falling out and also make it grow thicker."

Frank Raynor: "I am going to have fried chicken for dinner, and I can hardly wait for the clock to strike my dinner hour. I can eat fried chicken every day and never was stumped but once, and that was when a lot of us Masons went down to Covington several years ago. After a hard evening's work they brought on a lunch. They had these split baskets piled high with fried chicken, and the way it disappeared was a caution. I ate nothing but chicken, and when they asked me if I wanted ice cream I told them no, but that I would take some more fried chicken. It is surely dinner time, or I am badly mistaken."

W. P. Robb: "Sometime ago we put an electric motor in to run our machinery, and find that it is the cheapost and best power we have ever used, and we have tried all of them. It is noiseless and always ready for business.

Will S. Kelley: "Seeing Bill Vance twist a fish line with the aid of a bicycle wheel, reminds mo of how I saw them making rope down in Mexico. The children work a little spindle attachment with a rope and the man of the house and his wife feed the sisal, or chelem, as they call It, into this spindle and walk backward slowly, a small rope being the result of their labor. It Is a very slow process, as the fibre of the sisal is only from four to six inches long, but they make enough to keep them In tortilla cakes and red peppers."

Chas. Johnson: "I have juqfc returned from a trip through Kansas, and I'll tell you that the people in Indiana don't know how well off they are. The corn crop out there is nearly gone, and in my opinion if it should rain for the next week it couldn't be saved. The rains out there that have lately been reported are not at all general, and after an|Ehour one could not toll that a drop had fallen. There are no oats, either, and the people are marketing all their stock because they will have nothing to feed. In Kansas City I saw fine milk cows sell for $10 a head, and other stock sold proportionately. The wheat is fine, however, and there will bo a big lot of that, but I think that the man who invests in September corn and oats will make a barrel of money."

Situation Remains Practically Unchanged Since Last Report.

HAVE NOTHING TO SAY

The Man 11 factuvci's Are Singulary Silent Concerning the Progress of the Present Trouble.

Nothing Has lioen Done I11 the Way of an Effort Toward Settlement.

Pittsburg, Pa., July IS.—"We have not heard l'rom the other side at any time, in any way or on any subject since we parted at the Lincoln hotel last Saturday."

This positive slatemeut made by President SliatYer of tne Amalgamated association disposes of the rumor from New York that the strike had been settled. Mr. Shaffer stated further that no actual negotiations were on between President Bishop of the Ohio state arbitration board and himself, tending toward arbitration. A letter received by Mr. Shaffer from Mr. Bishop asking if lie would consent to a re-open}ng of the conference has not been answered as yet.

The principal recent events in 4he strike's history was the failure of the Sheet Steel people to rc-opon the Wellsville plant with non-union men the offer of financial assistance made to the Amalgamated association by the 2,000,000 members of the American Federation of Labor and by the American Window Glass Workers' association the concerted action of the association to organize the immense Sheet Steel plant at Vandergrift and the fact that several of the closed plants arc being patrolled by armed watchmen and guards.

The Amalgamated otliclals profess great satisfaction over the results accomplished since the strike began, but officials of the companies, as heretofore, will say nothing. The only man on the company's side who has said anything up to date is Persifer F. Smith, district manager of the Sheet Steel company. The light he has on at Wellsville is being followed closely by the workmen, and an open public meeting will be held at Wellsville this afternoon, when President Shaffer in person will present the strikers' side of the case and endeavor to ovjercome the effects of alleged misstatements concerning ilie late conference. Manager P. F. Smith lias been invited to attend the meeting and make a statement for the sheet company. The entire coniintniiiy of Wellsville is worked up over the strike situation and friends and enemies alike are expected at the meeting.

While Wellsville is the strike center now, the battleground will be shifted to McKeesport next week if the report be true that the W. Dcwees wood plant of the American Sheet Steel company will resume operations. This would afford one of the most trying situations of the strike. It would necessitate the importation of non-union men from other places, and the bitter feeling engendereu by such a move woulxl be hard to control.

A COSTLY AFFAIR

Borne Figures O11 Losses Due to the Bijr Strike.

Pittsburg, July IS.—According to figures carefully compiled, the steel strike Is daily costing the three companies $210,000 and the workmen $150,000. It is estimated that In the daily loss of nearly 28,000 boxes of tlnplate a day the American Tlnplate company is daily losing over $90,000, while the loss to the canning companies unable to secure their material is enormous in addition. Practically no stocks have been carried and consumption has kept pace with the production for seme time past. About 700 tons of the 1,000 tons daily production of the American Sheet Steel company Is being lost, and this represents a loss each day to the combine of at least $50,000. .The loss to the gas stove manufacturers is also great, as the mills are closed which make a specialty of stove Iron. This is the heavy season for making stoves. About 2,000 or 2,500 tons of steel hoops, bands and cotton ties'are being lost daily by the American Steel Hoop company, and this represents a daily loss in money of $70,000. It is estimated that the men are losing in wages $150,000. The tin workers will also lose $6,#00 daily.

Miners Strike Extending.

WUkcsbarre, Pa., July 18.—The close of the second day of „the stationary firemen's strike found fully 33,000 miners idle in the Wyoming district of the anthracite coal regjont which .extends from Duryea to Nanticoke. The number of idle men was increased yesterday by the suspension of railroad crews on nearly all coal branches. No eoal being mined, there is none to haul to the breakers. The total number of men idle now in the whole anthracits region is cstimated^at 05,000. There are 40,000 mine workers in the LackawanjDp region, but they are not All •vt.

It is an inieresiing fact t.liat Senator Charles \V. Fairbanks and Crawford Fairbanks, the 1 iir brewer and promoter of Terre Haute, are otren mistaken for each other. Mail addressed to Crawford Fairbanks often finds its way to Senator Fairbanks, and vice verstt. As both are men of large affairs and numerous enterprises, it may be imagined readily that this mistaken identirv business causes them much ar.noyiince. Not long ago a newspaper story was going the rounds to the effect thai. Senaior Fairbanks litis done a very humane thing by giving IX J. Mackay, the dethroned railway king, a position and a new financial start in life. It was a story full of human interest, but: it gave the credit to the wrong man. Crawford Fairbanks was the real benefactor.

In a number of places In Indiana gravel roads are being constructed under the act of as amended by four acts of the legislature of 1S09, pre.-eribing a mode of procedure in the construction of gravel roads. In one coni"y -Spencer—an elaborate system of roads is being built under these acts. Attorney General Taylor calls attention that the last legislature passed a bill, prepared by Speaker Art man. repealing all of the acts mentioned and establishing a different plan of procedure. He says that all contracts that have been let under the old laws are illegal and that the work must be done over again.

Roger H. Shlel, of this city, better known as "Rhody" Shiel, who was a noted figure in politics for many years and who in thoso days was omnipresent around the Denison House, where Republican politicians gather, lias dropped out of politics entirely and is never seen around the hotel. "I retire to bed every night at 9 o'clock," he said, "and arise at 5 a. m. Formerly I retired at midnight and arose at 4 a. m." The condition of his health led to his determination to eschew politics.

The annual camp of instruction of the Indiana militia will begin at the state fair grounds next Saturday and will last until July 27. Never beforo has the militia had such an ideal camping place. The tents will be pitched in the grove at the west sido of the fair grounds, where the trees are thick and there is an abundance of cooling shade. The drills will take place in the open ground, where the "white city" was pitched during the existence of Camp Mount.

Representative Alva O. Reser of Lafayette, who was here today, was accused of harboring desires to be mayor of Lafayette. Always inclined to be sarcastic, he replied: I am a candidate for anything the people will givo me, from constable up."

A Desperate Suicide.

Mllforci, Ind., July 18.—A stranger, apparently about 65 years old, threw himself In front of a passengor train on the Big Four railway yesterday afternoon and was instantly killed. Two letters on his person were directed to Benjamin Ludden, Barracks No. 1, Soldiers' Home, Marion, Ind. The man had come here on a southbound train only about half an hour before he killed himself.

Portland, Ind., July 18.—The absence of Ed Lambert from home provoked a profound'sensation because of a rumor that he had met with foul play, and the neighbors opened a freshly made grave, only to find the body of a cow.
