SATURDAY. AUGUST 15.1896.

FBOM the numerous portrait* taken of Mr. Bryan while enroute east, it is plain to be seen tha' Mie barbers' strike at Lincoln has not yet been settled.

MB. BRYAN* took a good long ride this week to learn what thousands of enterprising citizens could have told him before hand, tha^t he had been nominated for the presidency.

WHAT! Billy Bryan gone on to New York, the home of the dudes, and the heart of the enemy's country, to receive his notification in a full dress spike tail coat. The gold bugs have got in their work on him right in the start, as he would never have worn a spike tail coat in making a campaign in Nebraska.

THE ttaean things Governor Matthews has been saying duriug the past few days he wants it distinctly understood do'not in any way refer to those Republicans who have bolted their party. They refer only to the members of his own party who have bolted. The Republicans who have bolted are patriots who are able to rise above the level of partisanship and display their principles.

THE Indianapolis board of public works seemed to have solved the leading question of public improvements, by recommending the paving of Streets for business purposes with yellow pine creosoted. The board has ordered the paving of a business street of the capital city with this material, and the results of the work will be watched with interest by other cities, like Terre Haute, needing similar improvements.

THE state senator who advocates the plan of removing the two state's prisons from Michigan City and Jeffersonville and locating them in Indianapolis in one institution is naturally receiving much encouragement from the Indianapolis papers. The Indianapolis papers, for that matter, will concede without dispute that there are many very strong reasons why the seat of government should be removed from Washington, D. C\, to Indianapolis, but that does not/prove that it would be a wise move. There are no doubt fanny reasons that could be advanced in favor of the location of the state prison at the capital, but these will be readily offset by those cities in which the prisons are at present located. To the average mind there seems no good reason why. all the state institutions should be located at Indianapolis. In recent years the policy has been to scatter these Institutions to different parts of the state, and the results of the plan seem to justify it. There may be some attempt made before the next legislature to centralize the state's penal institutions at Indianapolis, but it will very likely meet with failure.

written examination of appli

cants for positions on the police force of New York City establishes the fact that the public schools of the great city are in a bad way, as shown by results. Of 210 men who presented themselves for examination, only thirty-five percent, succeeded In passing a satisfactory examination. Out of these 210 American citizens who aspired to be guardians of the public peace, fortythree were unitble to tell in what state Chicago is located forty were unable to to name a single New England state ninety were unable to name a single confederate state, and worse than all, 120 did not know the name of the law-making body of the United states. Of course when subjected to such a test as writing a letter of 135 words on "The Cause of Crime," they all went to pieces, and indeed this was rather more than should have been expected, considering the popular notions of the literary qualifications of a policeman. When barely one-third of the men who apply for such a position are proved not to know enough to be policemen in New York, the public schools In which they received their training must be of a pretty poor sort.

SUXKSS failures in the United States for six months ending June 30, as reported to Brad street's, number 7,603, the largest six months' total since the records have been compiled.* The increase compared with 1885 and 1894 is more than 1,000 in each instance, 18 and 16 per cent, respectively. Compared with JSIB (including two months of the panic), the increase this year Is about 1,340, or Siper cent., sort contrasted with six months of 1888, a period prosperous trade, there were 42 per cent, more business failures in the past six months.

ROBERT P. POBTEB, formerly census commissioner, who spent some time in Japan recently, does not share the hopeful views held by some of oar economists, that the products of the skill and industry of the Chrysanthemum Kingdom can be kept out of competition with our own manufacturers here in the United States by protective duties. Owing to the low wages paid for labor the Japanese manufacturers have been able to undersell all European competitors in the markets of the far east in many lines of competition. Mr. Porter does not hesitate to say that when Japan is fully equipped with all the modern machinery, it will be the most potent industrial force in all the markets of the world, protective duties to the contrary notwithstanding. In the current issue of the, North American Review Mr. Porter gives some facts and figures that seem to justify in his conclusions. He says that while the foreign exporters (principally English) of Japanese products from Yokohama assiduously spread the notion that Japanese industrial progress and Japanese competition are twin myths or bogies of the politicians and labor leaders in the United States, the Japanese are justified in entertaining very different opinions in relation to their prospects. He says that when the vice-minister of agriculture and commerce attributes to an Englishman the statement that the Japanese "spinners and weavers surpass those of- Manchester, he simply gives utterance to an undisputable truth. Mr. Porter thinks that the Japanese viceminister had in mind the figures presented from his own department, showing that ten years ago the export of matches from Japan was about $80,000, whereas this year it will reach a value of $5,000,000 that in 1885 the sum of $985 would have bought all the floor matting sent from Japan, while last year the export of this product aggregated $3,461,369 that last year 2,000,000 European umbrellas, valued at about $750,000, were sent forth from Japan into the world's markets, as against an output worth $1,765 in 1885, and that Japanese cotton and hemp rugs are making similar headway. It appears also, that the so-call-ed Japanese summer silks, can be sold at such low prices that the American manufacturer is pushed out of the market. Within the last few years the Japanese have cornered the world's market for silk handkerchiefs, exporting no fewer than 100,000,000 of these articles. The tooth brushes which are sold by American apothecaries for ten cents apiece or less, are made in Japan. An Osaka firm offered Mr. Porter the product of its factories for $1.50 (gold) per gross. Five dollars in gold will purchase a gross of hair brushes, while nail brushes and shaving brushes can be obtained at prices correspondingly low. If it be alleged that the quality of these goods is poor, Mr. Porter rejoins that the Japanese are also making at $8 gold per gross the superior grade of tooth brush for which in fashionable American drug stores you pay from forty to fifty cents apiece. In 1885 the export of textiles of all kinds from Japan was valued in silverdollars at $511,990 in 1895 at $22,177,626. The export of raw silk rose in the same ten years from $14,473,396 to $50,928,440 that of metal from $2,112,997 to $6,538,220 that of drugs, including sulphur and camphor, from $1,089,513 to $3,078,857 that of straw braids from nothing to $1,387,643 thato% matting, as we have said, from $935 to $3,401,309 and that of porcelain curios and sundries from $2,786,876 to $11,624,701. What countries can withstand such competition as this, unless it be by reducing labor to such a depth of degradation that it can compete with the Japanese. There is a problem confronting American manufacturers and American workingmen more serious than any they have yet met.

THE commission appointed under a resolution of the last legislature to investigate the workings of building and loan associations in this state, and offering solutions for any evils that might exist, made its report this week, and furnished some interesting revelations regarding the way some building and loan associations are conducted. The committee consisted of such well-known men as John H. Holliday, J. E. McCullough and B. S. Sutton, and what they have to say may be said to possess the merit of being without prejudice. They disclose some very interesting facts, especially regarding the manner in which building and loan associations are conducted in Indianapolis. Accompanying the report of the commission is a statement showing the business of forty of the associations doing business in Indianapolis, half of them working under the expense fund plan and the other half working without the expense fund. In this community where so many are interested in the workings of building and loan associations the results shown are of peculiar interest. It is shown in this report that with the expense fund associations the expenses range from 1.1 to 17 per cent, of their total receipts, while of the non-ex-expense fund associations the percentage of expenses to receipts are from .5 to 3.7 of the receipts. It is further shown that in some of the associations operating in Indianapolis the earnings are in the neighborhood of $1,700, while the expenses reach the appalling figures of $11,400. Just what show the stockholders, outside of the officers, stand In such an arrangement as this it is hard to understand. The report has created quite a stir among the Indianapolis building and loan associations and the newspapers there have been filled with cards explaining away the unpleasant feature* brought into prominence. The commission explains that th« present legislation on the subject of building and loan associations was enacted for small and local affairs, and the business has grown to such an extent that the present laws do not sn**ce, and they thereI'.JR recommend add\._«al legislation on the subject- The Mil recommended by th« commission tor the consideration of the next legislature removes alt limit as to capital sf«k, permitting it to be placed in .•% certifie of orporation or increase at any amount the association mm fit to pay the necessary fees for. It confer* power to Mst: Installment stock and deposit or iip stock. It limits the rate of pay«*nt in installments to not more than 90 week on a share and not leas than i*e highest rate intercut taken or charged

on a loan of equal amount. It permits advance payments of installment stock to be taken and interest at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent, to be allowed for average time of the payment. It limits the rate of profits that may be allowed to deposit, or paid-up stock, to that received for installment stock for a similar period of investment. In case of delinquency of a borrowing stockholder for three months, the association may collect the whole amount, principal and interest. The bill requires all expenses to be paid from earnings, and dividends, if any, to be cast at least semi-kn nually. Stock may be withdrawn upon three months' notice, and the stockholder withdrawing shall be repaid at least the amount paid by him, unless an actual loss has occurred. It exempts the corporation as such from taxation, but requires stock not borrowed upon to be taxed against the stockholder. Stock borrowed upon to its full value is exempt. It declares any rate of interest not exceeding 8 pet cent, legal. It forbids two or more associations from borrowing of each other which have the same persons as officers.

The Game of Draughts.

Draughts in some shape or form is doubtless a very ancient pastime. Indeed, the safest thing to say about it is that its origin is lost in the mists of antiquity. Representations of persons playing at a game resembling draughts are frequently found on ancient Egyptian monuments at least 3,000 years old. The Greeks had a similar game, from whom possibly it passed to the Romans. At least the old Roman game of latrunculi seems to have been a kind of draughts, though it is doubtful if the game as now played is very ancient The game was popular and well known in France and Spain in the seventeenth century and was probably played there and in England centuries before that. That it was from Prance the game came into many of the other countries is evident from the fact that the French name—jeu de dames—passed with it

Dam or damme was once the regular English name for one of^the pieces. In Germany the game is still called damespiel, in Holland the board is dambord, and in Scotland (as will be remembered by readers of Dean Ramsay's anecdotes) dambrod still survives. In the United States the less usual name of chequers, spelled checkers, fs employed. Polish, Spanish, Italian and Turkish draughts' are varieties of the same gam a The Polish game, which has several peculiarities, was introduced to Paris in 1723 and was at first played on aboard of 100 squares with 40 men.—Chambers' Journal.

Envelopes.

An English paper journal says that the invention of envelopes is within the memory of middle aged persons, and was the result of a Brighton, England, stationer's endeavor to make his store look attractiva He took a fancy for ornamenting his store windows with high piles of paper, graduated from the largest to the smallest size in use. To bring his pyramid to a point he out cardboard into very minute squares. Ladies took these cards to be small sized note paper, and voted it "perfectly lovely." So great was the demand that the stationer found it desirable to cut paper the sizp so much admired. But there was one difficulty—the little notes were so small that when folded there was no space for address so after some thought the idea of an envelope pierced the stationer's brain. He had them cut by a metal plate, and soon, so great was the demand, he commissioned a dozen houses to manufacture them for him. From such small beginnings oame this important branch of the stationery business.

Alexandrite.

A popular but rare stofib Of r&SGnt discovery is the alexandrite, which owes its name to quite a peculiar series of coincidences. On the day of the coming of age of the Emperor Alexander of Russia the discovery of a new variety of mineral was made in the emerald mines of the Catherine mountains. This stone varied in color from emerald to1 iho darkest green, having often a reddish tint Its especial peculiarity is that, when exposed to artificial light, its color changes entirely to a beautiful red. As green and red are the national colors of Russia, and in commemorative houor of the day on which the stone was discovered, the name alexandrite was given the mineral and the custom inaugurated of submitting all the finer specimens to the emperor for his selection before dealers aro allowed to purchase.—New York Dispatch. •,/'

Nattw Indian Soldiers.

India pays for her army, but she does not pay for our fleet, and it is our fleet and not her army which saves her front the invasions which if we lost command of the sea would in three years destroy ht once her commercial prosperity and her immunity from internal disorder. She ought not to pay extra money for a project which is ours, but it is perfectly fair that she should pay the wages and expenses which she would pay if the troops were at home. Her garrison sot the feebler, but the stronger, for spell of foreign work, which reveals and cures defects of equipment, which binds officers and men together as nothing else does, and which, above all, gives the fighting races—Sikhs, Pathans ana Mahrattas—an outlet for their inborn military spirit There is no education for soldiers like a well managed expe dition, more especially if they are men who enjoy it and if they belong to raoes which tend to despondency and* fat if they never have anything to da

We think it quite fine if Canadian or Australian regiments volunteer to help us, and not to mention that every native soldier is a volunteer who enlists uncompelled even by "the stern conscrip tion of hunger," among the Sikhs and Pathans, at all events, a call for volunteers would be answered by entire regiments stepping to the front They love the excitement of campaigning, whioh to them seems life. It is nonsense to "talk of "mercenaries" in an empire 100 years old. It is as much their interest while the empire lasts that it should succeed in war as it is ours, and, pro vided there is no conscription, we see no more moral objection to» calling on her majesty's Indian than on her maj esty's British or Irish subjects to fight on her behalf.—London Spectator.1

New Words..

It is a matter of surprise that the universality of the bicycle has not produced an extensive vernacular. As a matter of fact, the slang expressions in general use are but few. "Bike" issim ply an abominable abbreviation of bicycle. Cyolist is a legitimate and comprehensive word that is shorter than wheelman or wheelwoman. In France the latter is called a "bicyclienna In faraway New Zealand the awful word "cyclodonno'' has been coined as a substitute for wheelwoman. In many west ern towns the fair rider is called "bloomer" without regard to her cos tame. The word "scorcher," as indi eating a speedy cyclist, ia fairly engrafted upon the language. In Chicago, however, the "scorcher" is called a "§coot" The technicalities of the machine have led to attempts on the part of young men to coin expressions. "Your tire is punctured" indicates that the story you are telling lacks the probable clement of truth. Reckless statements are called "coasting." A very ancient yarn is not a "chestnut," but a "century." A young couple sharing a mutual fondness are "riding tandem." A man leading a fast life is "geared too high.'' An old fogy is referred to as a "high wheel." A chaperon is known ae a "pacemaker." A cheap bicycle is balled a "gas pipe" machine. A profea1 Rional racer is a "pro."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. ...,

"I've effectually stopped those blamed dogs from digging up the lawn," said Mr. Baxter as he sighed and dropped heavily into his chair at the breakfast table. "What have you done dear?" inquired Mrs. B. as she raised} the lid and peered into the coffeepot.

Mr. Baxter chuckled. "I got some pieces of baTb wire and buried them in the lawn, sprinkling enough dirt over them to hide their outlines. The first neighborhood dog that goes for that lawn will, get a jolly pait of sore paws."

Mrs. Baxter joined in his laughter. K? "That's a very clever idea, my dear," she sweetly said.

Just at that moment a frightful chcrus of yelps and howls came from the front yard, and in rushed little John Wesley carrying the family pet dog. "Oh, mamma," he cried, "Pippo's foot is all bleedin."

Mrs. Baxter received the wounded dog in her matronly arms with a look of supreme contempt at her liege lord. "John Wesley Baxter," she freezingly remarked, *of all the fool schemes I ever heard of,, this last one of yours takes the blue ribbon for unmitigated idiocy."

And she Swept from the room.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Flip Light!nc For Living.

A most peculiar means of turning an honest penny is by making and attend^ ing to fires. The Jewish tace is forbidden to touch fire on the Sabbath day, and to avoid the inconvenience thus caused—especially during the winter months—women, known as shobbee goyim, are hired to light the fires on the day of rest.

The work commfetic&8 e^ly on the Sabbath mom and continues till sunset. Many of the?e women, who confine their labors to tbe east end of London, have sometimes so many as 80 or more fires to look after. The work is very tiring and laborious during the cold weather, when large fires are indispensable. For each fire attended to a woman receives threepence aqd upward.— Pearson's Weekly.

Professor Sloane's "Life of Napoleon," in The Century, takes up the "Collapse of the Western Empire." Iv. describing the end of thn grand army after the battle of Dresden, Professor Sloanesays: The night of the 7th waf spent in indecision as to any 0110 or all of these ideas, but in active preparation for the retreat An)' contingency might be met or a resolve taken, when the necessity arose. During that night the emperor took two warm hatha The habit of drinking strong coffee to prevent drowsiness had induced attacks of nervousness, and these wore not diminished by his load of cure. To allay these and other ailments he had had recourse for some time to frequent tepid baths. Muoh has been written about a mysterious malady which had been steadily increasing, but the burden of testimony from the emperor's closest associates at this time indicates that in. the main he had enjoyed excellent health throughout the second Saxon campaign. There were certainly intervals of self indulgence and of lassitude, of excessive emotion and depressing self examination, which seemed to require the offset of a physical stimulus but, 011 the whole, natural causes, complex, but not inexplicable, sufficiently account for the subsequent disasters.
