SENATOR CULBERSON OF TEXAS
The Washington Post of Kobrunry
21 )til)!lHlu'H I ho following interview:
"I believe if (lie (l(MiH)cnitH would
itoinlniito ii man like Koniilor Charles
A. Culberson, of Texas, to head lliclr
ticket noxt your, they would Imvo a
fh'Ht-flllHH fllllllfO of electing him." HIlM
.1. C. Kicli, of Mobile, Ala., fit tlio
UalclKli. "Senator Culberson repre
sents the conservative element of the
democratic parly," bo ooullnuod, "and
although It Is generally bollovod Ibat
no southern man can bo olooled presl
ilont, 1 nm of Ibo opinion Ibat wllb a
Mian like Culberson to boad (lie ticket
wo would linvo mi excellent chance
of winning.
"Bryan Ih Impossible. He would get
fowor'voloH In tlio Houth tlmii any oth
er man the doinoorat.s could nominate.
I bave been a democrat all my life,
but I bavo refrained steadily from
voting for Bryan. Ho Is altogether
too radical. I believe Unit tbe city of
Mobile, Ala., is more representative
of I ruo democracy than any other city
in the country, and I know of hun
dreds of democrats there that refused
to vote for Bryan who would gladly
cist their votes for Mr. Culberson.
"His father, who was In the house of
representatives years ago, was the best
lawyer, perhaps, that ever sat in that
body. I know this is a strong state
ment, but I believe a better lawyer
never lived than Senator Culberson's
father. He was a native of Alabama,
and no man In that stale was more
highly regarded. Ills son, Senator
Culberson. I do not know personally,
but bo is very much of the same sort
that his father was, I believe safe,
conservative, and sound the one man
i. the democratic party that, In my
opinion, would have a good chance of
being elected president.
"I am not alone in this opinion. 1
have heard his name mentioned in
many different cities and on railroad
trains, and I really believe that a sen
timent is crystallizing In his favor
among tlio conservative democrats.
Stranger things have happened than
would be the nomination of Mr. Cul
berson." Mr. Rich is one of the most promi
net attorneys in the south. When be
was twenty-seven years old he was
elected mayor of Mobile, but he did
not aspire to higher political honors.
For twenty years he has been prac
ticing law, and Is now counsel for two
large southern railways."

The demand for hollow bricks and
building blocks for house construction
has Induced glass manufacturers to put
hollow glass bricks on tbe market, and
they promise to bo used extensively
for novel and artistic effects. The
first glass bricks being solid proved a
failure on account of their cost, but the
hollow glass bricks can be made at
much less expense. They are lighter
and stronger than clay bricks and are
such excellent non-conductors that
walls built of them are proof against
dampness, sound, heat and cold. The
bricks aro sealed hermetically when
hot and are placed in walls with a col
orless mortar made of special glass.
The bonding strength of the glass
mortar is almost as great as the bricks
themselves. Building Management.

"A suporb vindication of Anglo-Saxon civilization and idonlB, written
by Mr. Bryan in nnswor to tho famous 'Lktters From a Chinese Official,'

At a recent gathering in Baltimore
two men from different sections of the
country were discussing the capabili
ties of "nervous, restless Americans"
for being most slow and deliberate.
The Marylander claimed the palm of
slowness for the Inhabitants of tlio
eastern shore of his state.
"It Is a saying hereabouts," said he,
"that If oysters had been created with
legs, the people of the eastern shore
would all have starved to death."
"The folks around Mt. Monadnock
have a saying that beats yours," re
marked a Vermont man. "Of one
man up there It used to be observed
that if you were to give Hiram Hig
glns 40 yards start, stock-still would
catch him!" Harper's Weekly.
Secretary Shaw who will retire
from the treasury and become presi
dent of the Carnegie Trust ' company,
New York, has issued a statement In
which he says that while he will do
business in New York, he will "con
tinue to reside" in Iowa. This is in
terpreted by politicians to mean that
Mr. Shaw will keep his presidential
lightning rod in good repair but con
siderable laughter is heard from Iowa.
EMPIRE BUILDERS
In 1S92 Japan had thirty-one indus
trial schools. Now it has 1,954. This
throws some light on the way the lit
tle brown race is trying to build an
empire. Springfield Union.
WHERE THERE IS NO ACTIVITY
"Morse buys more steamships" is
nowadays a familiar announcement in
the New York newspapers reference
being made to Charles W. Morse and
his syndicating operations. There is
certainly great activity in bringing
coastwise steamships into monopolistic
combinations, but who hears of any
great activity in providing stronger
and safer ships for people to travel
in? Springfield Republican.
John F. Stevens, engineer of the
Panama canal, has resigned, and it is
announced that the work will be placed
under the direction of an army en
gineer. Tho Washington dispatch says:
"The chairman and eugineer-ln-chef
of the commission will be Major G-.
W. Gaillard and Major William L. Si
bert, to rank in the order named.
Senator Joseph 0. Blackburn of Ken
tucky, who retires from the United
States senate on March 4, is to bo
made a member of the reorganized
commission. The nominations of the
present commissioners now pending
before the senate include Messrs.
Shouts, Stevens, Haines, Endicott,
Herrod, Gorgas and Jackson Smith.
Their confirmation is desired in order
to remove all doubts as to the legality
of certain acts they have performed
in connection with the making of con
tracts. The retirement of Messrs.
Slionts and Stevens will leaye but two
vacancies, so that there will be. two
more retirements necessary to make
way for the three army officers and
Senator Blackburn. The president ia
determined that the work on the canat
shall proceed continuously and the
tomporary "dislocations" caused by
the resignations of higher officials will
not be allowed to interfere with progress."
