In order to get our new war vessels out of the doelc It will first be neocs Bary for .Secretary Moody and Attor ney General Knox to get them out of hock. 3Jy undertaking to mix ten dropH of half-way protection with IK) drops of colonial imperialism, Mr. Chamber lain produced a medicine that may upset the Urltisli cabinet. Tcsla's latest electric conception is to circle the earth with the wire less system. This Inventor's runaway imagination has hitherto refused to work in terrestrial harness. The presidency of the University of Virginia has no temptation for Mr. Clo eland. Another presidency, how ever, mignt possibly lure him from the privacy of his New Jersey retire ment. One of the Washington correspond ents has unearthed a plot to drag Adlai Stevenson out as a candidate for the presidential place on the democratic national ticket. Adlai will bo only on thu ferge of 75 when 1he next president Is nominated. Jt is said that George 11. McClellan is slated for mayor on the Tammany hall ticket to make the race against fusion and Seth Low, in New York. McClellan Is the son of the union general of the same name, and has been active In Tammany afTairs for n number (if years, having served ncveral years in congress. Although the Vatican at Home con tains the colossal number of 11,000 rooms, it is no longer suilieiently large to furnish adequate accom modation for the papal court and to lodge all its inmates. It is on this ac count that Leo IXIII. has opened negotiations with the Italian govern nient for the purchase of the so called Zecca or ancient mint. According to estimates made in the weather bureau nt Washington, the lives lost by Hood and tornado in this country thus far in the present year, number at least 1,250. Natural forces," therefore, have destroyed within a period n little longer than that of our struggle with Spain more than four times as many Americans as were Wiled u the battles of that war. Tho $30,000 in bills which figured in the bribery eases attending tho election of Senator Clark by the Mon tana legislature still remains a part of the archieves of that Btate. Tho xnan to whom it was given as a bribe never claimed it; the briber or bribers lmvo not asked that it be returned nnd there is no channel by which tho state can appropriate it as a part of tho public funds. Patriotic citizens who whooped vociferously for War with Spain are likely to scratch their heads at tho information that 57,010 "invalids" of that conflict have already made appli cation for pensions along with 8,300 "widows and orphans." As more people are killed and wounded every Fourth of July than succumbed in the whole Spanish war, it may puzzle tho ordinary tax-paying citizen to ac count for this extraordinary pension list. Wo sold abroad in the last fiscal year 4,000,000 pairs of shoes for $0, 000,000. This proves that the Ameri can shoo Is more popular than It was in 1000, when European manufactur. errf1 began making plans to keep it out of the market. The growth of our shoo trade nbroad has been one of tho amazing features of our in dustrial development. Ten years ago our annual exports of shoes had a value of $500,000. Wo now sell 12 times iih many. An indignant protest should go up at once against tho iconoclastic de cree of- the superintendent of the New York, New llavon fe Hartford railroad putting hn embargo upon rice throwing in the railroad stations, belonging to tho corporation. This ill-tempered railroad oflicial must bo some crusty old bachelor and has no just appreciation of the beautiful custom of showering the departing bride and groom with rice a custom handed down from generation to generation, so that no honeymoon can bo started right without it. It is remarked that in floods and many other, forms of public calamity there is no insurance and that suffer ers must face their losses unaided. As far as the United States is concerned, uu important reservation must go with the statement. In ease of a catastrophe public sympathy hero instantly takes the form of material aid. The national government and state governments act with prompt ness. All Americans combine to lend a hiind and in some state capitals tents "and other relief material are tent on liandfor cinergjndcs. APPEAL TO NEGEOES Afro-American Press Association Sees Perilous Times. An AiMrrfl IkmichI In AVIilcli Denial Ta Maria That Thin U "a White Mnii'rt Coun try" Slob Spirit Do t hired. Louisville, Ky., June HO. At the nn ntial session of the Afro-American Press association, held here yester day, a strong address dealing with the race question was unanimously adopted for issuance to the country nt large. The address calls on the people to enforce the principles of good government in "the present crisis in the history of the Afro American people, when a systematic and thoroughly organized movement, begun in 180S, is working with mali cious and malignant energy to utter ly destroy the civil and political rights of thoso for whom we stand in some part as spokesmen. We re sent the reiterated statement that this is 'a white man's country.' It was made in its inception and devel opment by all of its people, irrespec tive of race, and the 'federal constitu tion specifically places all of Its citi zens on equality before the law. "The persistent effort which has been made and is being made to nullify the sulVrage guarantees of tho fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the federal constitution is fraught with as much danger to tho peaco and security of the federal union ns was the effort to hitch slavery upon the constitution of the country prior to 18G0. "Wo again direct attention to tho effect produced by (ho license of the mob spirit; we do this not because wo are the victims in most part of the license, but because it has becomo a national problem with which tho nation in its public opinion and its laws must deal or ultimately go down to ruin in tho mad overflow of an archistic passion and fury. It is a national problem in which we lmvo only co-ordinate interest." MAN AND WIFE DROWNED. Mm. Norn Winfrey Jumped Into tho Illua Itlvor nt I.uvdif nnd Her HiiHliaiul Tried to ICohciio Her.
