Become so bulky, it is said, that it is
impossible to examine them, and it is
even u problem to provide storage
room for them. The privilege of peti
tioning to those who make the laws
ts one of the fundamental rights of
a free people, and no one desires to
restrict it. But in these days of easy
letter writing the average congress
man asks himself, when he sees a pile
of letters and petitions: "Who has
been starting all this up?" For usual
ly some one makes it a business to
have congress bombarded with peti
tions in order to bring influence to
bear upon it. Word goes out to the
labor unions, to the farmers' associa
tions, to the commercial bodies, or to
religious societies to petition for this
thing or that, and thousands, some
times hundreds of thousands, of re
sponses follow. One. man has been so
active in bringing pressure upon con
gress on behalf of several matters in
which he is interested that lie is said
to have doubled the volume of mail
received at the eapitol. His system of
stimulating the public to present pe
titions is most elaborate. When the
case of Mr. Roberts, of Utah, was be
fore congress, the petitions against
his admission, piled in front of the
speaker's desk, made a larger load
than a horse could draw. Sometimes
petitions are presented in picturesque
form. The collar makers of Troy,
during a tariff debate, once submitted
u great book shaped like a coffin,
•which contained thousands of signa
tures. Some petitions have been
pushed into the house in a wheelbar
row, to give dramatic effect to the
outburst of popular opinion which
they were supposed to represent.
Nevertheless, says Youth's Companion,
a simple letter from a constituent to
his representative, which bears evi
dence of having come spontaneously
from the writer, sometimes exerts as
much real influence as a million sig
natures obtained by organization, and
affixed to a petition as a result of per
sonal solicitation.
The man who did a juggling act at
the Park theater last week and con
eluded 1 his performance by tossing a
number of apples into the audience for
people to throw at him while lie made
an attempt to catch them on 3 fork
held between his teeth got all that
■wascomUigto him the other afternoon,
says a New York exchange. The first
apple tossed out foil into the waiting
hands of a young man well known
in this city for his athletic prowess.
It took less than a second for him
to send the apple flying toward the
juggler, and the force in si well-devel
oped right arm was behind it. The
juggler saw it coming, but wasn't
quick enough to get out. of the way.
The apple caught him plump between
the eyes and was shattered' into a
thousand pieces before the actor knew
what struck him.
Pneumatic transit of mails is at
tracting increased attention in nil the
large American cities, and- is working
well wherever it has been introduced.
It would save nearly half an hour in
the closing of mails in St. Louis, and
its adoption here at an early date
ought to be urged by the whole com
munity. One line isworkingin Boston
and two others are proposed, to cost,
respectively. s:ij,ooo and $:;0,000 a year.
A pneumatic tube service for parcels
will be constructed in Boston by a
company this spring, leading from the
main retail district to the suburbs.
Ten-inch tubing will he used for the
parcel delivery.
New York has been the graveyard
of many legal reputations. A writer
in a current magazine says: "Men
who dominate their towns and even
their states; men who have cut great
figures us governors and senators,
come to New York and open a law
office, and almost immediately they
sink out of the public recollection.
The fact is, New York is the one
place in this 'ountry where polities
and law will 11 mix. Polities is now
u« much of a ) ofession as law, and
each must let tlie other severely alone
in that city."
VIFW OF A GOLD DEMOCRAT.
Doubt im to the Success of Ilryun
lu tl»t* Democratic Con
vention.
The New York Times, an independ
ent democratic paper that would like
to support a candidate for president
who is a democrat in accord with such
men as Cleveland and Olney, and holds
to the party traditions before the ad
vent of Bryan began an editorial one
day lately with the declaration that
"Bryani is not growing stronger, but
weaker, as the day of the convention
draws nearer." The Times goes onto
say:
"The popular defection from Bryan is vis
ible, widespread, and due to perefectly well
understood causes. In this year of very
great prosperity, when debts are being paid
off or have been paid off. when labor is em
ployed at good wages, and when cotton Is
almost ten cents a pound, no considerable
class of the American people any longer
feels that it has need of Mr. Bryan's serv
ices or of Mr. Bryan's principles. The
times have changed and he has not renlly
changed with them, but he has made awk
ward efforts to change, which have served
merely as a public exhibition of the weak
est side of his shifty character. * * *
The meddling of the populists has hurt
Bryan among democrats who still cherish
some regard for the traditions and name
of their party. Democrats know that it
was not an accident that the platforms of
the democrats and the populists In Ne
braska are identical in substance and prin
ciples. They know that Mr. Bryan saw
and approved the democratic platform be
fore it was submitted to the convention.
As the populist platform was a close copy
of that of the other convention, held at the
same time, the conclusion Is irresistible
that Bryan accomplished practically the
fusion of the democrats anil the populists
In his own state, and his speech was equal
ly acceptable to both. That <*ll compan
ionship was barely tolerated four years
ago. It is much more distasteful now."
The Times calls"attention to the in
creasing frequency of reports from the
south, the middle stales and the north
west that Mr. Bryan may be beaten in
the democratic convention if those in
the east opposed to him eaiiiunite upon
a man hostile to free silver, and cites
the defeat of Gen. Grant in the repub
lican convention in ISBO by the or
ganization of the Blaine, Sherman and
other factions, which united on Gar
field. The cases are not similar. The
republicans were agreed upon a plat
form, and all the men who were voted
for in the convention were in harmony
regarding the party policy. In what
is ca.led the democratic party to-day
the Clevelands and the Olneys are as
far removed in their political opinions
from the Bryans and Altgelds as they
are from the out-and-out populists.
Evidently the Times discovered that
the case to which it alluded would not
apply to the democracy at the present
time, as it alluded to reports that gold
democrats would vote with the popu
lists for Mr. Bryan, and added tha*
they would not do it,"The gold dem
ocrats," it says, "are sensible men. and
it is hard for a sensible man to lie a
fool." To this statement it adds (he
following prediction:
"Bong before the campaign is over W. J.
Bryan will make himself impossible to all
save a negligible few of the most fanatical
anti-imperialists. All of these gallant gen
tlemen who now talk of their stern pur
pose of rebuking McKlnley by voting for
Bryan will confess that after all it is bet
ter that Aguinaldo should lie in the bed he
has made than that a man without capacity
and without principles should be pitched
into the white house by votes cast in the
heat of passion. They will either provide
themselves with a candidate of their own
or they will goto the polls and vote for
Maj. McKlnley, and be glad of the chance."

SUCCESS OF SECRETARY HAY.
A Diplomatic Triumph Scored by
the IleproKeutntlve of Ke
pt* I»1 learnt.
Nothing could bo more gratifying
than the reception accorded to an
nouncement of the completion of the
"open door" negotiations set on foot
by our government by the public press
of America and Europe. Everywhere
the acknowledgment has been general
that Secretary Hay has scored a diplo
matic triumph of the most far-reaching
nature in a truly masterly fashion.
Where all Europe stood aloof from un
dertaking negotiations because each
nation interested in ( l-.ina might have
been suspected of having some ul
terior end to serve, Mr. Hay on behalf
of the United States was able to act
without having his motives impugned.
What makes Mr. Hay's success espe
cially gratifying to his fellow country
men is that nothing was staked 011 the
negotiations. If the governments of
Europe did not choose to acquiesce in
the proposal of equal rights to all in
their various spheres of influence :n
China the United States would hav«
been no worse off than before. Mr.
Hay simply ventured to win without
staking anything to lose.
When we consider what has been won,
not only for American trade and pres
tige in the orient but for the equal
trade of the world in Chinese ports,
it seems impossible to overestimate the
value of this stroke, of American di
plomacy. No wonder that it lins evoked
nothing but praise and congrat illations
from the entire press of America. —Chi-
cago Times-Herald.
Tlie Shipping- Subsidy Hill.
The democratic and the independent
papers opposed to protection are mak
ing much ado over the shipping subsidy
bill as a scheme to enrich a class of
America a capitalist.i. All of them are
very much concerned about the giving
away of $9,000,000 a year. Yet we can
not recall the democratic paper tlmV
raised its voice in favor of the Loud
bill, which would have saved $20,000,000
yearly to the postal department—a
measure urged by the post mast ers gen
eral of four administ rat ions. The dctn
ocralie congress:::! 11 who howl about
he "subsidy steal" voted almost sol
idly against a bill t lull would have sav ed
$20,000,000 to the ftovcrnmeiit. It is
not remembered thai independent pa
pers, as a rule, hail ranch to sat forth?

DEMOCRATS AND STRIKES.
Effort* of Calamity Howlers to Fo
ment Strife AMIOIIK Labor
ing Classes.
The net*:. which comes from Wash
ington, to the effect, that democrats
high in the national councils of the
party are trying to foment labor
troubles, with the purpose of inaugu
rating an epidemic of strikes during the
coming summer, should not he sur
prising.
While it is not likely that there is
anything political in the present strike
of the machinists, it is undoubtedly
true that the followers of Bryan hailed
the announcement of a possible general
industrial tie-up with joy. The demo
cratic party thrives on that sort of
thing. .Eight years ago it made and
won its national campaign 011 the issue
of the Homestead strike,and fouryears
later it appealed to the passions and
prejudices of the people on the issue, of
hard times. A series of big strikes dur
ing the coming summer would give Bry
an and the democratic orators an tin
limited supply of ammunition, and they
would use it to the best possible ad
vantage. That is why the leaders of
the party will do their utmost to fo
ment labor troubles and create a feel
ing of unrest, among the people. They
are willing togo to any lengths to de
stroy prosperity by upsetting business
and industrial conditions, if they can
thereby gain an advantage at the polls.
On this account, manufacturers who
wish the present condit ions to continue
should use their utmost endeavors to
maintain pleasant relations with their
employes. This is not the time for an
industrial war, and it should be avoided
by all honorable means that can beem<
ployed. If the democrats are trying to
promote an epidemic of strikes in the
interest of that party they should be
checkmated by the employers of labor,
if that can possibly be done.—Cleve
land Leader.
BRYAN THEIR FRIEND.
Philippine Insurgents Trying to
Hold Out I ntfl He Is
Mlected.
A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., Col.
Bryan's capital, to the St. Louis Globe
-1 Jemocrat is an instruct ive commentary
on Col. Bryan's campaign against im
perialism. Capt. J. H. Culver, of the
Thirty-second regiment of United
States volunteers, is now at his home in
Milford, Neb., 011 leave of absence. lie
is a veteran of the civil war and is de
scribed its a conservative man. He says
tbs-A, jhe insurgent army is divided into
small bands, which "have been instruct
ed by Aguinaldo to hold out 111 small
parties, harass the Americans and carry
on a bushwhacking warfare until after
the fall elect ion, w hen 1 hey expect 1 heir
friend liryan to be elected. Aryan's
name is as weil known to them as the
! name of Aguinaldo, because of the pub
lication of extracts from his speeches
in the Tagalo language and the free
distribution of them."
The admiration of Aguinaldo for
Bryan, the democratic party and the
rest of the anti-imperialist tagrag is
well known. The necessarily delusive
hopes of an Aguinaldian victory in the
United States liava been and are the
ciiit 112 support of the remnants of rebel
lion in the Philippines. Wherever Agui
naldo is hiding or running, he knows
that his only friends are t he democratic
party and the Atkinsonians. Undoubt
edly he exaggerates their importance
as they exaggerate his. But he has a
right to take such allies as he can> find.
The position of an American political
party and an American political leader
that are regarded by the enemies of the
United States as their friends and their
reliance is not honorable or fortunate.

EARNED THE VICTORIA CROSS.
(•11 Hunt Heed of » Wisconsin Soldier
ol' fortune Wins ior film a Itare
■llMtlnetloti.
Chicago, April 12.—A special to the
Chronicle from Kenosha. Wis., says:
A letter has been received in this city
under date of Johannesburg, South
Africa, stating that Charles.l. Spruce,
a former resident of liiis city, has
been decorated with the Victoria
cross for bravery on the field of hat
tie while fighting against the Boers
near Ladysmith.
Spruce -s a typical soldier of for
tune. Many years ago he went to
South Africa and was one of the orig
inal .lameson raiders. Later he re
turned to this city ancf remained till
live years ago, when he returned to
Johannesburg. As soon as the war
broke out he enlisted as a volunteer
and became a member of one oft lie
companies of the British light horse.
The deed which won Spruce the
honor of the Victoria cross was the
saving of the life of an officer in the
British army. Spruce and a number
of his comrades had been sent out to
stop the advance of a small body of
Boers, but, wnen the parties met, the
Boers were largely in the majority.
The British were fighting in trenches
and during the advance of the Boers
one of the companions of Spruce fell
wounded in a temporary trench. The
victory of the Boers was complete and
the British soldiers fled, leaving their
wounded comrade in the ditch. This
was seen by Spruce and at the risk of
iiis life he returngd to the trench and,
throwing aside his arms, carried the
soldier to a place of safety.
A WELL DESERVED TRIBUTE.
Lord Cromer Praises the (enterprise ol
Americun Locomotive Hullders.
London, April 12.—The report of
the consul general of Egypt and the
Soudan for 1899 was issued in a blue
book last night. Summarizing the
financial situation, Lotd Cromer, the
British minister plenipotentiary and
consul general, says:"The figures
are sufficient to show the treasury is
strong enough to meet any further
loss arising by reason of the low
Nile."
Referring to the use of American
locomotives, Lord Cromer says: "They
have done well, but as they differ in
many respects from our standard, it
required some time to learn their pe
culiarities and we may not have been
able to get their best results.
"The action of the board in order
ing locomotives and wagons from
America has been criticized. It is
simply due to the fact that the Amer
ican firms, while not in a position to
tender more favorable terms than
Others 011 our designs, almost invari
ably offered us engines or wagons
built on standard designs of their
own at lower prices, and in less time,
while the English and other European
firms contented themselves with ten
dering on our designs, not being as a
rule in the habit of manufacturing to
standard designs of their own. Wis
prefer adhering to our standards, but
111 cases where time and cost are of
great importance, such an offer from
America cannot be passed by."
Trouble Over llciiiie»»y'a Will.
Dubuque, la., April 12. —Michael J.
Ilennessy has filed a petition to have
the will of his brother. Archbishop
Ilennessy, declared null and void. He
claims that the will on file was not
tile last; that there were two new
wills, one disposing of church prop
erty and the other of private proper
ty, which bear date of .January IK,
1900, while the original bears date of
January 17. The new wills have the
same witnesses as the first and have
many erasures. The wills, he says,
are ill possession of his attorney, who
refuses to make public their provi
sions. A contest is likely to be made
in the courts.
Ooes Not Depend I pon Congress.
Washington, April 12. —The war de
partment yesterday complied with
t!ie recent, resolution of the house
calling for an opinion relative to the
extension of the constitution over
Porto itico. The opinion was given
in May, 1899. After referring to
Spain's cession of the island the opin
ion says: "Thereupon the territory
conveyed became a part of the United
States and as such subject to the con
stitution. No further action by con
gress was possible. The constitution
does not depend upon congress for
authority in any part of the United
States. The reverse of the proposi
tion is the fact."

Pretoria, April 9.—lt, is reported
that Gen. I)e Wet attacked and de
feated n large force of British cavalry
nt De Wet's l)orp, southeast of Bloem
fontein, capturing 4">o prisoners and a
large quantity of ammunition and
camp stores and inflicting heavy loss.
Tlie federal loss was two nilled and
four wounded. All is quiet with the
other commandos.
London, April 9.—The Cape Town
correspondent of the News says:
"Owing to a lack of horses and to
the sufferings of Ihe men from pneu
monia, due to thin clothing, Lord
Roberts has decided not to make a big
move until the troops are provided
with thicker uniforms."
When it is borne in mind that all
the dispatches from the front are se
verely censored, there is little in the
news to bring satisfaction to England.
Assurances that nothing need be fear
ed, e\cn if the railways and tele
graphs are cut and Bloemfontein iso
lated, together with the news that
the ladies and other civilians are be
ing ordered away, do not augur well.
The result of the recent serious
checks to the British arms is that the
whole free State is up again and that
the Boers are full of activity over the
entire field.
Pretoria, April 9.—lt is officially an
nounced here that at the I'loemfon
tein waterworks the republican forces
captured 1V officers and 3G2 men, with
11 guns, two ammunition wagons,
other wagons and mules.
London, April 10.—Britons are now
beginning to realize that Lord Rob
erts is in for a winter campaign, last
ing several months. This is the end,
in a few words, of the high hopes
based upon Lord Roberts' brilliant
dash to Kimberley and Bloemfontem.
London, April 11.—The Daily News
has the following from Pretoria, da
ted Monday, by way of Delagoa bay:
"It is officially announced that a
battle has been fought south of
Brandfort, in which GOO British troops
were killed and wounded and 800 tak
en prisoners,"
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Brandfort, dated Sunday, says:"Yes
terday (ien. De Wet inflicted the third
defeat of the British within a week
at Meerkatsfontein, killing and
wounding COO. He captured 900, with
12 wagons, losing live Boers killed
and nine wounded."
The Boer attack on Gen. Brabant's
force at Wcpener was resumed again
at dawn Tuesday. The enemy's attack
on two or three sides on Monday
lasted until 2:30 in the afternoon,
when the tiring ceased and it was be
lieved that the enemy had been beat
en off: but it was announced Tuesday
morning from Aliwal North that the
lighting had again begun. Brabant's
force, numbering from 2,000 to 3,000,
hold positions in a rough country.
London, April 12.—There is little
fresh intelligence from the seat of
war in South Africa.
The Duke of Marlborough has ar
rived at Mloemfontein.
The war office has received the fol
lowing dispatch from Lord Roberts:
"Blocmfontein, April 11.- —Methucn
reports that the party of Boers de
feated on April 5 made a good resist
ance for four hours and only gave in
when our troops with fixed bayonets
were within 15 yards of them. Seven
of the enemy were killed, 11 were
wounded and 51 were made prisoners.
Beside Lieutenants Boyle and Wil
liams. Sergeant Patrick Campbell was
killed and ten of our men were
wounded. Williams was killed delib
erately after the white flag had been
held up. The perpetrator of the
crime was at once shot."
The I'loemfontein correspondent of
the Times, telegraphing Wednesday,
sa> s:
"It is announced in general orders
that Gen. Chermside has been ap
pointed to the command of the Third
division, vice Gen. Gatacre, ordered
home to England.
"(ien. Brabant's force is confident,
of being able to hold out. The Boers,
after showing considerable dash, have
wavered when it came to the final
issue and have struck the point where
they arc greatly liandieapped by their
proximity to the Basuto border.
The war office has received no news
of the death of Col. Baden-Powell and
utterly discredits the rumor.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail
nt Lorenzo Marquez, telegraphing
Wednesday, says:"The departure of
the Chicago ambulance corps for Pre
toria was delayed on suspicion of tili
bustering. The members left l>y a
special train Ibis afternoon, accom
panied by a motley following of
French and Germans, 100 in all. The
departure only occurred after many
stormy interviews with the Portu
guese authorities.
The members have no passports and
no credentials beyond a letter from
Miss Clara liarton to the effect that
she knows some of them personally,
but many openly expressed their in
tention of lighting. The Boers are
paving from £3O to £4O per month
for surh recruits.
"Thirty-tive thousand Boers, with
90 gnus. *are concentrated on the
range of hills between Kroonstad and
Winhurg. The whole line is fortified
and is almost impregnable."

of tin authorities Saturday night.
Will Mostly, a special policeman, shot
Charles Cecil, a deputy sheriff, and
was himself later killed by unknown
persons. Warrants have been sworn
out for the arrest of Chief of Police
King, .lohn Mosely, a brother of the
man killed, and Will Sullivan. The
latter two, who were extra policemen,
went with Chief of Police King to ar

outcome of the bitter feeling that has
existed h< r> between the two factions.
