A MILD REBUKE.

—San Franctaco Chronieta.

0« Haskell. Governor Haskell’s utter unfitness for any public position of trust or for association with any man anxious to make an appeal on a moral issue to the American people has been abundantly shown. ... -- —— As an American citizen who prizes his Americanism and cltlsenship far above any Question of partisanship, I regard it as a scandal and disgrace that Governor Haskell should be connected with the management of a national campaign.

BRYAN’S SPECIOUS RECORD.

/ad*e Taft Potats Oat th* Weak Spots in the Nebraskan’* Political History. (From Taft’s Cincinnati Speech.) “What 1* it that we have to expect from Mr. Bryan? Have we anything to expect but what he promises? Have we anything to expect but what ts based upon his eloquence and his adroitness as a public critic? Has he ever given any practical demonstration of his ability to meet problems and solve them? Has he ever done anything but formulate propositions in his Closet of an utterly impracticable plausibility, and very little with a view of their operation? ‘By their fruits we shall know them.’ “With the record of promise* and prophecies unfulfilled for a period of twelve years; with this record of * hunt for An issue upon which to achieve the presidency; with this record of repudiation, of negotiation and Of running away from national responsibilities, Mr. Bryan comes forward and asks that th* people now give him an opportunity to put into operation new reforms in rbspect to trust* and In respect to guaranty of bank deposit*, wholly untried, wholly theoretical; and on their IM* bearing evidence di their impracticability and of having been devised' by the ready brain of one looking for plausible arguments rather than real reforms. He only in a. qualified way approved th* postal savings bank recommended by the Republican platform, which la a tried and proved means of encouraging the wage-earner and small fanner to make deposits in a bank absolutely s*cure; but much prefer* a system which takes a man’s money to pay another man’s default, and which instead of strengthening our banking system will break it down by destroying the value of th* banking character and experience and capital and by offering inducement to reckless and speculative bankers without character or capital. “The record of Mr. Bryan and his character, as it is understood by • twelv* years’ acquaintance with him, bar* impressed th* business community of thl* country and those whose judgment determines whether or not capital .shall be Invested that be is not a safe man with whom to try experiments in government; that be love* financial theories that ar* full of sophistry and ar* impractical; that he advances propositions with but little sense of respect as to bow they may be carried out In practice, and that he give* but little attention to the welfare of the conservative business community in hie suggestions of reform.

ROOSEVELT HOT SHOT.

To Bryaa. tn my judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly id-* effective In curing an evil, and so far as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country into hopeless and utter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft be judged by all his deeds, for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten.

GROWTH OF WELTH PER CAPITA

Deetrine that the Poor Are GfoWi** Poorer Shown to Be False. (From the Los Angele* Times.) In 1820 the savings banks of the United States held $1,138,576. This was a poor country then compared with now. The amount was only an average of 12 cents for the population of that time. That amount of average economy was very small. Now the people of this country have $3,690,878,945 in savings banka This 1* an average for the whole population of this time of over $42. The actual depositors have an average of $429 to their, credit. In 1820 only 8.885 persons to the country were rich enough so have a savings bank account Now there are 8,588,811. When James Buchanan, th* last Democratic President In a long line, went into office, there was about SIOO,000,000 in the savings banks *f the United State*. By 1870, after fighting out the great war, the people, under Republican rule for twenty years, bad $550,000,000 in the savings banka. When the next Democrat!? President took hl* seat in 1883, the savings of the people had pasaed the billion point By ISM the savings had doubled again. 86 there it is. In 1820 there were only abbot 8,000 people rich enough to have a UtlfigS bank account Now there are over 8,000.000. In 1820 the savings were 12 cents pet capita; now they are over $42. That the poor grow poorer’ ioS the rich richer In this country Is as true as any other Populistic notion.

BELOW DECKS ON A LINER.

Why the Chief Engineer Has Heavy Responsibilities. One of the monthly magazines printed a fiction story whose purpose was to show that when a great Atlantic liner makes an unusually fine record the captain gets the credit, while the chief engineer Is overlooked entirely. Praise of the officials of the line, it was contended, Invariably goes to the men on the bridge instead of to the men below the decks, to whom it belongs rightly, and further on the point was made that the public knows only the captains of the ships, while the chief engineers, really of equal or of more importance, are lost in anonymity. Before the ships sail about 3,000 tons of coal has been dumped into the bunkers through chutes, and nearly as many tons of fresh water for .use in domestic purposes and also for making steam. . Before the voyage .begins the men who are to care for the ma chlnery and those who handle about 330 tons of coal a day report. This ship has about 10,000 horsepower capacity and is a seven day boat. There are employed In the propelling departments about tills force. 20 engineers, 3 electricians, 2 refrigerating engineers, 1 deck engineer, 18 oilers, 6 water tenders, 64 firemen and 32 coal passers, a total force of 140 men.

This ship has eight double ended boilers, each with eight furnaces, and at least two single ended boi.ers, each with four furnaces, making altogether 72 furnaces. These furnaces eat up the 330 tons of coal a day. The coal passers take it from the bunkers which extend alongside the ship and wheel it in barrows, depositing It In front of the boi’er?. The firemen feed it to the furnaces, their skill consisting In so spreading it on the fires that the greatest number of heat units will result in making the steam. The engineers and oilers and water tenders all have their appropriate work to do, and they work n shifts of four hours each. The one demand on a liner, constant and unceasing, is for steam. It is to make that product that fully 150 men are kept employed where the passengers dever see them. The responsibility for running all the complicated mechanical equipment rests with one man, the chief engineer. To be ready for emergencies, to watch every part, piston, valve, shafts a_d whatnot, and to keep all the parts at their highest efficiency, is far more complicated a job than merely navigating a vessel. It requires as much nerve and mental caliber as tue captain’s task, and yet the world al. aost never hears the name of the chief engineer of any liner.

New Tricks of Smugglers.

"Diamond smugglers are a constant source of worry to us,” said the Custom House inspector. “Despite every precaution taken here and abroad to spot them, not more than ten per cent are caught with the goods. There seems to be no limit to the devilish ingenuity employed by these—l was going to say gentry—but there are quite as many women In the business as men. - “It is really wonderful when- -you come to think of it, that we are ever able to make a good haul when you consider how easily diamonds can be concealed. Hollow heels are a favorite receptacle for the precious stones, and I understand that there are places in Europe where you can buy shoes specially constructed with spaces in the heels.

“If we did not have agents in Amsterdam and other diamond center* to watch suspected smugglers and keep an eye on buyers of the precious stones wg should never make a capture. Cakes of Soap used to be a favorite medium in which to smuggle diamonds into the country, but since we got wise to that dodge it is seldom tried nowadays. Porous plasters have often concealed thousands of gems, and I suppose are still used. We can’t stop and examine every arrival into the country who wears one of these sticky attachments. “I remember ond woman, she is still ,ta the business, whd displayed great Ingenuity tn smuggling diamonds, It was only by chance that we caught her at one of her tricks. She arrived in a very striking Paris bon net. which was ornamented with bunches of grapes. While we were examining her baggage this dream of a hat blew off and was smashed by a passing truck. I rushed gallantly to recover the hat and then saw that each of the grapes contained a diamond or precious stone. She got what was left of the hat but nothing more.. “What can a man of ordinary perception do with such people? They will beat him every time unless he’s gifted with second sight. I never see a chap with long hair but I think of the day we picked ten thousand dollars’ worth of diamonds from a fellow’s head who wore a pompadour like a brush heap.

“No, we can’t keep up with all their tricks and don’t expect to. It’s th* behavior of th* smuggler that generally gives him away. When w* see a man or woman acting uneasy, nervous. betraying bis guilt by gestures, w* have him searched. One gets to know the smuggler's face after a time, and so captures are made.**
