WISE MEN NEEDED
In the midst of the wars excitement
Democrats should not lose sight of the
3olitical interests of the country Of
course this suggestion does not imply
that the Democratic party Is in any
iray opposed to the strictly war meas
ures of the administration Democrats
are patriots first last and all the time
but loyalty to party Is also a patriotic
duty One of the most important things
for the Democrats to do undoubtedly
the most important thing is to see to it
that only the best men in the party are
nominated as candidates for Congress
There is a prospect that many Demo
cratic representatives will be chosen at
the next election to occupy seats in the
lower house Every one of these men
should be the Test man In his district
Men of clear perceptions logical judg
ment and sound democracy should be
named Enthusiasts who have some
special hobby should be asked to stand
aside in the best interests of the peo
ple Wise men in Congress can make
the campaign of 1900 a Democratic vic
tory Unwise men may cause defeat
Therefore a wise selection of wise men
is imperative
Iov Vacc3 and Trade
Reducing wages is the most short
sighted course of conduct that could be
followed by manufacturers This fact
has been made manifest by the experi
ences of the cotton operators of New
England The Providence II I Jour
nal of Commerce in discussing the situ
ation says
The general reduction in wages was
evidently not the remedy that the con
ditions demanded In response the
price of goods fell at once and the
whole effect of the reduction was thus
more than discounted On the other
hand the domestic market was like
wise paralyzed by the reduction as the
wage earners in the factory towns who
are among the best customers in the
country for the products of the mills
have been compelled by the strikes
and reductions to practically cease pur
chasing
To take away from the consumer the
jpower to purchase goods is the sure
means of reducing the price of com
modities This is not a theory it is a
fact and the cotton operators have
found it out to their cost This rule
holds good in every branch of trade
Lowering the purchasing power de
creases the demand and lowers the
-price To destroy the market is not
the way to build up trade
Spain TVill Pay the Bill
Tliis government has no need to wor
ry over the expenses of the war In the
long run Spain must pay every cent of
the money which the war will cost If
Spain becomes bankrupt the Philip
pines and Porto Rico will be ample in
demnity for the United States It is
the fashion now to make the conquered
nation pay for the privilege of being
whipped Greece is the latest example
of this comparatively recent method of
war time bookkeeping
In the brave days of old the territory
of an enemy was taken and held The
treasures were carried off and the peo
ple enslaved Now the expenses of the
contest are calculated and the bill pre
sented to the vanquished Turkey is
now in debt to Russia 1G0000000 as a
war indemnity And Russia will give
Turkey plenty of time to pay it Ger
many demanded an indemnity of
France to the amount of 1000000000
and France paid it much to the delight
of Bismarck If Spain had good busi
ness sense the war would end at once
But whether the war be long or short
Spain will be conquered and will have
to pay the bill Chicago Dispatch
The Gold Standard
The shrinkage of values in the United
States since 1S73 has not been less than
twenty billions of dollars or eight
times the cost of the civil war as
shown by Senator Chandler and others
But even this enormous sum does not
measure the whole loss Factories
have been closed and millions of men
thrown out of employment whose labor
would have increased the wealth of the
United States to the extent of five bill
ions annually as estimated by that em
inent political economist Henry Carey
Baird of Philadelphia
An amount of interest has been paid
upon the national debt of the United
States greater than the original princi
pal and also three fifths of the debt it
self and yet the remaining two fifths
requires more of the products of in
dustry to cancel it than the whole debt
did originally at the prices then exist

The Mcrritt Aljrer Imbroglio
Were the President to call General
IMerritt and Secretary Alger into his
presence and tell them frankly that
there was fault on both sides that this
is no time for fighting over the contro
versies of the civil war and that he
would tolerate neither the neglect of an
sflicer to gratify an old grudge nor in
subordination by that officer the pub
lic service would be immensely bene
fited perhaps in other instances than
the present one Boston Transcript
No Territorial Extension Wanted
The people are terribly in earnest
They want to see Spain thoroughly
thrashed and humbled and as the inva
sion of Cuba was the first battle cry
they would like to have something
worth while done in that direction The
victory at the Philippines was a glori
ous one and the people are proud of
Admiral Dewey and his officers and
men but they do not think that should
change the original policy of promptly
VaN
giving substantial aid and comfort to
the Cubans The people would not have
rallied to the side of the administration
If they thought the declaration of war
meant territorial acquisition Kansas

Bryans Patriotism
In spite of the fact that William J
Bryan promptly offered his services to
the Government when war was declar
ed the Republican press has been bitter
in its attacks because he has not enter
ed the military service President Mc
Klnley ignored Bryans offer as might
have been expected and appointed a
Large number of rich nobodies to mili
tary positions Of course aJtepublican
administration would naturally do all it
could to discredit the Democrat who se
cured G500000 votes at the last Presi
dential election Now William J Bryan
has begun active work in recruiting a
regiment of soldiers in Nebraska which
he will command and has asked to be
sent to the front where he and his regi
ment can engage in active service
It goes without saying that Bryans
motives will be maligned by the admin
istration press Doutless every effort
possible will be made to keep Bryan
out of the army As long as he waited
for an acceptance of his services the
administration organs gibed at his de
lay and urged him to go to the front
Now that he has become convinced that
lie can expect no recognition from Mc
Ivinley as a patriotic citizen and has
entered upon the Independent work of
raising a regiment he will be abused
worse than ever Chicago Dispatch
Cheap Goods
The gold men say that a fall of prices
harms no one because If the producer
has to sell more cheaply he can also buy
more cheaply and thus keep even That
sounds plausible but in practice it
doesnt work If everybody had the
same amount of money everything fell
in the same ratio and every one occu
pied precisely the same position in all
aspects then the theory would hold
good But if a mans wealth be entirely
in the form of money and prices fall
one half it makes him in effect just
twice as rich and when such a change
of relation takes place somebody must
have sustained a loss If one man gets
more than his share others must have
less
It is a singular circumstance that the
gold men will persistently claim that
a fall of prices will do no harm because
the loses on the sales are offset by the
gains on the purchases at the same
time declaring that a rise of prices is
going to work dire ruin They ought to
be able to see that the rule which they
invoke applies just the same to a case of
rising prices as of falling If a person
sustains a loss by being compelled to
pay more for what he buys it would
seem as if he should be able to keep
even by getting higher prices for what
he sells
Gilded Youth with Commissions
The aristocracy of pull as applied
to military appointments in this Avar
by which the sons and relatives of great

WORK OF NEGRO NUNS
-TV
The Only Order of Its Kind Is Located
in New Orleans
In the old French quarter of New Or
leans with Its narrow streets latticed
windows and jealously guarded courts
where the fig and orange tree grow is
a square of rather miscellaneous archi
tecture Its central building 717 Or
leans street is several hundred years
old It has a stately entrance with
great pillars and old fashioned ornate
ly carved doors It was once the old
Creole opera house and ball room of
the early days Now it is the home
of the colored nuns
The powdered and ringleted damsels
with hoop distended skirts who step
ped daintily across that threshold to
scenes of gayety in bygone years have
given place to dark robed figures whose
white ruffled caps only bring into
stronger relief the bronze and ebony of
their skins The very names of the
streets here are rich in history and ro
mance There are Orleans and Bour
bon Chartress and him of the iron
hand and gentle heart Tonty Shades
of the past are jostling one another
though in a gentle shade like way at
every street corner and at nothing do
they seem to be more astonished than
at the sight of the colored nuns
Yet the order is not such a very mod
ern one after all for it was founded in
New Orleans over half a century ago
Its members are now well known fig
ures on the streets of the Crescent City
The special object of its institution was
the education and moral training of
young colored girls and the care of or
phans and aged infirm people of the
race It has had the cordial support
of such eminent churchmen as Arch
bishops Blanc Odin Perche Leroy and
Janssens who successively filled the
archepiscopal see of New Orleans It
was also a novitiate where young col
ored girls are trained for the work of
the order with the view of extending
that work to every parish in Louisiana
and If possible into every Southern
State
One of the most interesting parts of
the convent is the orphan asylum
where children ranging in age from
the wee tots just beginning to walk to
girls of 12 and 14 years are cared for
One of the sisters in charge of the
babies was an ex slave She is a real
mammy still
But reverend mother you seem to
have some white children here said
the Northern visitor commenting on
the fair white skin of some of the chil
dren
Oh no said the nun smiling a bit
wistfully at the ignorance of her
they allhave colored blood in their
veins Maybe they are only quadroons
octoroons some of them indeed have
only one tenth colored blood but that
one tenth black counts more than the
nine tenths white and makes them be
long forever t the colored people
One is reminded of some of Cables
stories the pathos and the tragedy
thereof
In the orphan asylum 135 children are
sheltered who would otherwise be
thrown upon the State These as well
as the sixty poor old colored men and
women and many of the women in the
school are dependent upon the sisters
for their daily bread Formerly the
sisters obtained a fair revenue by go
ing through the streets of New Orleans
from door to door and into business
houses and railroad offices soliciting
alms for their charges So quietly did
they labor that few outside the city
were even aware of the existence of the
order the only colored sisterhood in
the United States But the yellow fever
which broke out in the South in Au
gust caused that section to be hemmed
In by quarantine and the wheels of
commerce stopped As a pathetic let
ter just received from one of the sis
ters says

among the poor laboring classes who

to myself the sensation that that

she were to enter au naturel as we

something of the same thought must

RACE WITH A MANIAC
Nerve Trying Adventure of a Ken
tucky Merchant with a Madman
Have you ever been so scared that
you dried up Inside so scared that yon
couldnt utter a word that your skin
burned that your heart stopped you
choked and your hair crept over your
scalp Ah thats what it is to be really
frightened And you dont get over it
in a day either
Thats what the quiet little man said
We had been talking of the sensations
of a man when he is attacked by a foot
pad or when he awakes to find a burg
lar in his room The Sensations of the
coward were also discussed and the
exquisite pleasure of fear as described
by Robert Louis Stevenson in The
Suicide Club was lightly considered
by those present
Were you ever so frightened some
one asked the long thin man
I Avas and I have never fully recov
ered from it he ansAvered It was a
curious experience and although it
was in a measure ludicrous it had an
awful terror for me I lived in the
country a few miles from a town in
Kentucky and a mile beyond the asy
lum for the Insane I Avas in business
in the town and used to Avalk back
and forth between my house and my
store for exercise I had moved from
the town for that purpose I had to
pass the asylum night and morning by
a path that followed the high stone wall
that Inclosed the asylum grounds
One of the most violent and danger
ous inmates of the asylum was a law
yer of the name of Birch a powerful
man physically and hopelessly insane
He had a mania for tearing his clothes
from his body and would rend the
stoutest cloth into shreds In his at
tempts to escape he had gnawed to
pieces Avith his teeth the window sill
of his cell much as a horse gnaws his
manger But he had never managed
to escape and although Ave in the town
heard of his desperation no one feared
that he would ever get out
One evening about dusk I was
trudging along the path beside the
asylum wall on my way home to sup
per The exercise had warmed me up
for I was chilly and I Avas feeling
cheerful I whistled as I went Sud
denly I heard a rattle in the bare
branches of a tree that greAV inside the
asylum grounds and hung over tjio
wall I wai BturtledanJ loojig
Above me on the wall was a wnite
ghostly figure The next instantit
came hurling down through the air to
ward me I saAV that it was a naked
man of huge proportions In terror I
turned and ran By the tjiwe the naked
man had gathered himself after alight
ing I was twenty five feet up the pah
running like a scared coyote
As soon as I could gather my senses
I knew thatjt wag Birch that he had
torn his clothes off and had escaped
I knew of his violence and desperation
and that if he caught me he would
strangle me with one twist of his hand
and then but the thought spurred me
to additional effort and I ran with
such speed as I neAer thought myself
capable of A few months of walking
had hardened me so that I was in good
condition but I was hampered bj my
overcoat
As I ran I could hear behind me the
pat pat of the maniacs bare feet on the
hard path He A as gaining on me very
slOAvly I tried to estimate how soon
he Avould catch up Avith me if he con
tinued to so gain I was becoming
Aviuded and my efforts to relieve my
self of my overcoat lost me about three
feet
I could hear the heavy breathing of
the maniac and the occasional gnashing
of his teeth It was awful We had
long since passed the asylum grounds
and were now running in the uneven
road Far ahead I could see the lights
in the windows of my house My
grounds were surrounded by a high
stone wall in which there was a door
Jf I could reach this and get through
f might be able to leave my pursuer for
a few moments on the outside until 1
could get help
I could hear the panting of the ma
niac coming nearer and nearer Once I
looked hastily over my shoulder He
Avas not over five feet aAvay and his
glaring eyes and open gapir5 miicn
terrified me so that I nearly fell I
was rapidly growing exhausted I
doubted if I could reach the door in the
stone wall
The panting AA as now close to me
1 Imagined I could feel the breath of
the madman on my neck and shrank
forward to avoid the heaAy hand I mo
mentarily expected to drop on my
shoulder
At last we reached the end of the
stone wall I could go no farther I
threw myself at the Avail turning in the
air and backing against it determined
to sell my life as dearly as possible On
rushed the maniac He was close to
me He reached out his powerful hand
It tapped me on the shoulder
Tag Youre it he shouted Now
catch me And he bounded off swift
ly in the darkness
Three days afterward they caught
him in the next county where the en
tire population was hunting him for a
wild man I had about recovered from
my fright when they brought him back
but my hearts been weak ever since

fewaffllcted people there rapidly grew
up a demand for its benefits all over
the country It now numbers over
3500 volumes has a membership of
500 readers and its books circulate as
far as the north of Scotland in the one
direction and the Channel Islands in
the other The shelves are piled with
large folio volumes Some idea of thej
space it requires may be gathered from
the fact that the Bible translated Intc
Dr Moons system fills no less than
sixty two volumes The books which
the sightless borroAV do not differ ma
terially from those which circulate
among ordinary readers They read
mostly novels but there is a steady call
for Shakespeare Carlyle Greens His
tory of England and the History of
