SATURDAY, JULY 25. 1806.

FHOM this time on the spellbinders and the jawsmiths will be allowed to run at large in the land.

THE people may trample down Mr. Mc Kinley's front yard grass and carry away his fences, but he is getting some return for it. He was made a present this week of the largest watermelon raised this season.

THERE doesn't seem to be any division in the administration party in Mexico, as President Diaz has been re-elected to the highest position in the gift of the Mexican people for the fifth term by a vote that was practically unanimous.

If the correspondents would just spare ns a little in telling about Mrs. Bryan's theories of raising a family and making flapjacks, and Mrs. McKinley's skill in knitting slippers, we could stand this frea silver talk with a little better grace.

WHAT can be done in the way of careful management of municipalities is shown in the experience of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. In that city no taxes of any kind are to be levied after the first of next January, the revenues from street railways, lighting and water plants being more than enough to pay all the expenses of the city government. What is possible in Glasgow is possible in any American city, yet the revenues derived from corporation franchises in all the cities in the country would make a pitiful show in comparison with those of this Scotch city.

THIS is a campaign of funny features, and about the funniest yet is the action of the socialistic labor convention of San Francisco, which adopted a platform protesting against the free coinage of silver on the ground that free silver would benefit the capitalists Instead of the poor. Many converts are being made to free silver on the theory that the single gold standard is favored by the bankers and capitalists, and that what is good for them the poor must be against. It is refreshing, therefore, to find an organization that is against free silver because it would benefit the rich rather than the poor.

NRARI.Y every state in the union has a law against the adulteration of food, yet few of them are enforced as strictly as is being done In Connecticut, where a law of that kind recently took effect. The state experts have been making a careful analysis of the different articles of food offered for sale, and discover that those in which adulteration is most frequently attempted are coffee, pepper, mustard, maple syrup, lard, milk, cream of tartar and honey, coffee, both ground and unground, being subject to imitation and adulteration to a remarkable extent. These same experts are of the opinion that more than half of the coffee sold in this country is a sham and a swindle.

ASTRONOMICAI. experts have been arguing pro and con for many years the question as to whether the planet Mars is inhabited, and the question is likely to be settled in a comparatively short time, if it Is possible that the best efforts yet put forth with this object in view can secure the desired Information. The mast important astronomical expedition planned for half a century left Chicago this week for Arizona, and from there will go to Mexico to investigate the question. The expedition is equipped with instruments of the greatest efficiency, and accompanied by experts of the highest standing, and under the favorable atmospheric and climatic conditions of Arizona and Mexico they expect to add much to the popular knowledge of the planet Mars and the constellations of the southern hemisphere.

Ll Hrxo CUAXG, the eminent Chinese diplomat, who Is recognised by those have had dealings with him as one of the greatest men of the day, is to make a visit to this country this fall, on his way home from the ceremonies attendant on the recent coronation of the cuar. As yet no arrangements have been made for his reception and entertainment in this country, .but tt is certain that be will be received with honors consistent with a simple republican form of government. As he is the bearer of a personal letter of greeting from the emperor of China the president of the United States, fits visit to this country necessarily entails a special audience with the president. No date has been set for the visit, but the impression obtains in official circfc* that he will cross the Atlantic for these shore* the latter part of September, and that if the president shall not have concluded his holiday by that time he will make a special trip to the •capital for the express* purpose of welcom tug him and extending the hospitalities of the country.

strength

WITH the outcome of the St. Louis convention, a prospect of the division of rV Fopulistic vote. and the certainty of ti Jkange* in the voting strength of the two 5d parties it is interesting to note that in tfce last congressional Section in all the states of the union except in ISH. which cannot be said of all public speeches the total

was 182,000, and there was a scattering vote of about 100,000. With the congressional vote as a basis, it will be seen that at that time the combined vott of the Democrats and Populists exceeded that of the Republicans by over 100,000 votes. In two states only did the Populists in 1894 poll as many as 100,000 votes, Texas, with 177,000, and Kansas with 139,000. In sixteen states in the Union the Democratic vote exceeded 100,000, running over 200,000 in this state, Missouri, Ohio, and Texas, 3)0,000 in Illinois and Pennsylvania, and 500,000 in New York. With the shifting of party lines as a result of the agitation of the silver question the man who can make a reasonable venture as to the exact result in the different states in the coming election is entitled to distinction as a seer of unusual gift.

THE bicycle has entered every class of society and business, and now it has gone into politics, and that, too, with a venge ance. Up in Niles, Mich., the city council recently enacted an ordinance requiring bicyclists to carry bells and lanterns, keep off the sidewalks, ride slowly and sound their bells at every corner. They obeyed the law, but under protest, and this week bad their chance to get even. A proposition is to come up before the Niles voters next week to decide by popular vote whether the city shall issue bonds to raise money that is badly needed by the city. The bicycle boys informed the city officials that unless the objectionable ordinance was amended they would unite in voting against the bond issue. Their numbers are so great that such action would ensure the defeat of the bond proposition, and the council, seeing the point, came down very gracefully, amended the ordinance to please the objectors, and the riders are celebrating their advent into politics. This is a new issue in politics, and it is pretty hard to figure where the end may be if carried into execution in every city of importance. The wheelmen are so numerous that they may be said to practically hold the balance of power, and if they could be brought to unite in favor of either of the leading parties where their fancied rights are thought to have been trampled on, they could come very near to getting what tbey wanted.

A VERY interesting experiment has been undertaken by the state department of labor of New York, under the provisions of a law enacted by the last legislature It is in the nature of a free employment bureau, the object of which is to bring employes and employers together without cost to either. For instance, there may be in one portion of New York a number of men seeking employment in a certain line of labor while in another portion of the state there may be men looking for laborers in the same line, and it is the aim of this law to bring them together. Men and women out of work and employers seeking help may register with the state agency, giving a great deal of information, including the lines of work desired by the applicants. After investigation by the department lists are printed of both employers and employes, which are sent to the proper officers of every town in the state, who are required to post the lists in prominent places for the benefit of both classes of citizens. »It is thought that the plan will, after a trial, be shown to result in much good, especially for those seeking employment. If it proves to do the good expected, it may depended on that the plan will be copied into every state in the union. It is the first thing of the kind ever attempted under the auspices of tie state, and the result of the experiment will be watched with a great deal of interest.

LAST week a sensational dispatch was nt out from Kansas to the effect that a cision of the state supreme court had illified over 85,000 divorces gifented in that state in the last quarter of a century, causing an almost endless amount of confusion in marital relations, in the relations of children to parents, and in the custody and disposition of property rights. As a result of this decision it was made to appear that the present marital relations of parties to former divorce suits was affected, making their new marriages illegal, and perhaps depriving their children of legitimacy. Later, reports, however, show that there was very slight foundation to the sensational inference given. It appears that a statute passed in 1871 which permits husband and wife to testify against each other in matrimonial causes has been pronounced unconstitutional because it failed to express the scope of the act in its title, as is required by the Kansas constitution. This decision, however, has no retro-active effect save in the case in which it was rendered. Cotut decrees regularly entered are valid until set aside on appeal or by motion, and it is safe to say that no decree entered in the last twenty-five years will be disturbed unless the judge, following the statute in question, admitted evidence of a husband or wife over objection, where an exception was taken, and the time to review the decree by appeal has not expired. None but the parties themselves have any standing to disturb these decrees, and as both parties usually welcome the judgment which severs the marriage tie, divorces once granted will have no shadow cast on their validity, and no puzzling questions as to legitimacy of children and property rights will be presented.

WRKS Mr. Harrison was the candidate for the presidency in 1888 he made a great number of speeches before delegations that visited his Indianapolis home which gained for him the reputation of being one of the most fluent and timely public speaker* in the country. Indeed, Chauncey Depew, himself a public speaker of no mean ability, said that the speeches rendered him unquestionably the best public talker before the people. Heretofore it has been thought that Major McKinley was a one topic talker, that of the tariff. He has shown himself, however, to be able to discuss the questions of the day in a manner, devoid of stilted phrases and statistics, that hi clear to every listener. They are speeches that read well, too,

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

before. But by far the most beautiful sentiment he has expressed since Canton has been the center of public interest for those who share his faith in the cause he represents, was the following, in a little speech before the Cleveland ladies who visited him last week: "The work of woman has been a power in every emergency and always for good. In calamity and distress, she has ever been helpful and heroic. Not only have some of the brightest pages of our national history been illuminated by her splendid, example and noble efforts for the public good, but her influence in the home, the church, the school and the community in molding character for every profession and duty to which our race is called, has been potential and sublime. God alone can place her services to this country at their true value"

THE Japanese have been well named the "Yankees of the East." They are wide awake and shrewd, and lose no opportunities to further their interests in a commercial and manufacturing way. They have recently closed a deal for the institution of an ocean steamship line to this country, connecting with one of the great railway systems at Seattle, by which it is likely they will drive some of their competitors out of business. It is said they can operate their steamers at least one-third cheaper than the British and one-half cheaper than the Americans, and in addition to this receive a government subsidy of eight per cent., no matter what their, actual earnings may be. This will enable them to cut rates to such an extent that their competitors cannot do business. The principal freight from Japan to this country is tea and silk, while the principal freight back is flour, but they are anxious to get their pig iron into this country, and send their raw cotton here direct, instead of by way of Liverpool, as at present. This week a committee of prominent business men from Japan closed the details for an immense colonization scheme on this continent, by which they obtained control of three hundred thousand acres of land in one of the Mexican states, which they propose to cut up into small farms and operate with coolie labor from Japan. They then expect to make a determined effort to capture the business of the countries lying south of us, whose trade We should have, and with their low prices rind the assistance of their government in subsidizing vessels for the carrying trade, they will no doubt be able to undersell not only the United States but the continental countries, wheih now do the greater part of the business with those countries with their cheap labor products. The Japanese have not yet arrived at the wooden nutmeg stage of civilization, but from the way they are branching out in a business way since their success in the Chinese war, it is likely that all that has been said in favor of protecting our laborers from the competition of cheap labor in other countries will be more strongly emphasized by the efforts of these Yankees of the east to make and sell to us what we should be making for ourselves.
