the restoration o 112
"village industries" in different parts
of the country are interesting mat
ters. The old town of Deerficld,
Mass., according to the Youth's Com
panion, may be said to have begun
the revival. A few years ago a num
ber of women in that town made the
experiment of reproducing by hand
jlie old-fashioned blue-anil-white co
lonial bedspreads and table-covers.
The materials were dyed at home
with the old-time vegetable dyes, the
goods were woven by hand, and when
offered for sale commanded a market
sinil a price which plainly indicated
the establishment of an industry by
which home-keeping women could
earn a respectable income. In two
widely separated towns in Maine
summer visitors from New York dis
covered possibilities in "pulled rugs."
A few suggestions and a little wise
cooperation with the village women
in the matter of design led to the
production of rugs which sell for
prices equal to those asked for fine
oriental rugs. The business has now
extended to the manufacture by
hand, of course—of draperies for por
tieres, couch covers, and even of
homespun dress-goods. Nor is it the
women alone who are engaged in
these modern handicrafts. The man
ufacture of baskets, restic furniture
and articles in brass and iron has
been undertaken by men of mechan
ical skill touched with artistic senti
ment, and their work also has found
a ready sale. The beauty of these
simple industries is twofold. They
are occupations in which the worker
can take pleasure, and in which he
can express his own individuality;
and they are carried on at home,
without the expense of rent or mid
dlemen's profits. Those who know
the dull and monotonous life of the
small Lack-country towns during »
part of the year are hopeful that
■village industries will have good so
cial as well as industrial results.

The fine points of the law tire some
what involved by the statement in
a divorce suit that the offending lady
and a clerical admirer went to a res
taurant where "they hail limit and

two." Hut whether the reverend gen
tleman had three hams, or three eggs,
or three Scotch whiskies there's the
puzzle. For the honor of the cloth
unless he is a stern descendant of
the old Covenanters Itoswcll Field,
of the Chicago Post, ventures to hope
the plurality referred to the limn
or eggs. For it is unbecoming in
a minister of the (iospel to take

THE BAD REPUBLICANS.

.Nation** Weal.
Persons who fail to read the numer
ous recipes for democratic harmony
that arc being offered by the party
leaders nowadays miss a great deal of
amusement and some solemn instruc
tion. Nothing could be funnier than
the eulogies of harmony in the ab
stract, followed in every case by at
tempts to beat it into the other fellow
with a club. Hut we arc also getting
a great deal of valuable information
concerning the fundamental principles
of government and what a deadly peril
to free government and human liberty
the republican party is. We are learn
ing that it embodies and represents all
the bad forms of government and dan
gerous cracies there are—aristocracy,
plutocracy, autocracy, monocracy and
ell the rest. The only true friends of
democracy are those who spell it with
a big 1). A few days ago former Sen
ator Vilas characterized the repub
lican party as a large conspiracy
against the nation, and said that when
the "crowning inerev" of its destruc
tion should be vouchsafed "the very
purification of the nation's soul by the
fires of the strife will easily enable it
to subdue the lesser forms in which
Satan is embodied inour national life."
An undergraduate who should produce
such a sentence as that in a society ora-

But Just a Picture of What Would Happsn if Grover and Bryan Were to Meet on
the Same Harmony Platform.
tion would probably think it line writ
ing. says the Indianapolis Journal.
Mr. Bryan in his speech tit Nantas
ket diagnosed the case somewhat dif
ferently. with practically the same
result. He pointed out that the two
great political parties of the coun
try represented two opposing ideas
aristocracy and democracy—the for
mer being represented by the repub
lican party and the latter by democ
racy wilh a big I), lie also identified
the aristocracy with the plutocracy,
between which and democracy with
a big 1) there could be no affiliation.
With profound sagacity he said:
"There can be only one aristocratic
party in the country. There will be
room enough for till the aristocrats
in that, when the people know what
the party stands for." As Mr. Bryan
has read (Irover Cleveland and all
his friends out of the democracy,
with a big I), it follows that their
only place is with the plutocracy and
aristocracy represented by the repub
lican party, 'let Mr. Bryan makes
one kind concession. He says in ef
fect that republicans are aristocrats
without knowing it. To quote his
words:
"A great majority of the republicans
of to-day are ilemocrats at heart. They
believe with Lincoln in 'government of
the people, by the people anil for the
people.' I believe the only trouble is that
they have not noticed the change
that has taken place in the purpose anil
character ami methods of the republican
organization. * * * There can te no
doubt of the democratic Instincts of a
large majority of the members of the
republican party, bat that party to-day
Is so controlled by organized wealth that
the rank and flls of the party are not
consulted about the policies nor are the
Interests of the rank and 111 c considered
by the leaders."
There i* some consolation for re
publicans in knowing that even in the
opinion of the great and only friend
of democracy as a form of govern
ment and the peerless leader of de
mocracy with a big 1), republicans
are not wholly bad, at least not in
tentionally so. They are aristocrats
and plutocrats without knowing it,
anil are really entitled to be in bet
ter company'. In the present distract
ed condition of the democratic party
they would probably be welcome re
cruits to the democracy with a big
T). It is a pity the ruling party of
the country does not know it is ruin
ing it.

THE CABINET WILL WORK.

Whether thereahns been any definite
plan for a st limping tour on the part of
the members of the cabinet this fall or
not. the reception given to the sugges
tion by the press is sufficient to war-
such a plan now. Papers repre
senting all shades of political opiniotii
welcome the appearance of men on the
stump who can speak with authority.
In England cabinet members sit in
parliament and participate in the de
bates. But here the most important
recommendations of the administra
tion are put before congress and be
fore the country without any suffi
cient explanation on the part of the
men whose acquaintance with the
matters involved and official station
combine to make what they might say
of the very greatest importance, says
the lies Moines Kcgister and Leader.
The members of President Roose
velt's cabinet are with one or two ex
ceptions forcible public speakers. It
will benetit the public to hear what
they have to say about the work of
their departments and benefit them to
come into direct contact with llie pub
lic. A democratic paper rejoices at
the opportunity to hear Secretary
Root, and expresses regret that Sec
retary bong could not have been
brought before the people in public
discussion. Secretary Boot w ill doubt
less be as pleased to spetik of the work
of the war department in the Philip
pines, as any part of the public will
be to hear him, and nothing that can
be done will conduce to a better under
standing of conditions as they now ex
ist and of pfans for the future than to
have him visit various parts of the
I'nited States and talk freely of what
his department has done and is doing.
President Itoosevelt will make a
trip through the west, but will not,
with reference to party issues, talk
politics. It will be impossible for him,
however, to avoid discussing the duties
and responsibilities of the govern
ment. There has been some disposi
tion on the part of the opposition to
criticise him for his trip, but the Xevv
York Times undoubtedly expresses
general judgment when it says:
"It is well for the people to see their
president when they can. to hear him, or
to read what he says on such occasions.
Our country is big. Our population is
enormous and widely scattered. Despite
the free intercommunication and the vast
number of newspapers we are beset with
local and sectional prejudices and mis
understandings due mainly to ignorance.
It is a good tiling that the president
should come into personal relations, even
though fleeting, with as large a number
of the people as he can."
Public officials cannot do much to
intentionally promote their own polit
ical fortunes. The more they try the
less they seem to succeed. It is per
fectly safe to allow them all the lati
tude they desire. The only way they
can ingratiate themselves with the
public is by making such a plain
and honest statement of their pur
poses ns will convince the deliberate
judgment of the country that they are
properly intrusted with authority.

GOOD MEMORY OF NEGROES.
The Itnee Seems lo lie Knilovveil vvitli
u Special Aptitude for .\ot
Kuriset I liiK,
"Speaking of the negro race, I am
inclined to believe that some scientist
would find an extremely profitable
field in the negro's faculty for remem
bering things," said a traveling man,
according to the New Orleans Times-
Democrat, "and the wonder is that
some man qualified for the work has
not taken the subject up. The negro's
aptitude in this respect litis been the
subject of comment from time to time,
and we have heard a great deal about
his lack of imagination, and all that
sort of things, but so far as 1 am aware
there has been no systematic study of
the question.
"How can we account for the ex
traordinary talent of the negro in this
respect? How is it that tin 1 negro can
remember with such unerring accuracy
the names of persons, places, things
and frequently under the most confus
ing circumstances? We do not know.
W'c cannot account for it on a physio
logical basis, and yet no doubt the
structural peculiarities of the black
men have much to do with this partic
ular talent. The low order, if not the
total lack of imagination in the negro
has no doubt tended to improve the
faculty of memory. Still these facts
tlo not seem to fully explain the ex
traordinary gift, for we frequently
find types of men of other races which
show similar structural peculiarities
and a total lack of imagination, and
yet types which fail to show the ne
gro's aptitude for remembering
things. The familiar example of the
negro's unerring accuracy in handling
hats tit t he larger hotels has frequent
ly been referred to. I have seen negro
waiters take as many as a dozen orders
at one time without making a single
The Currency We Need
By HON. A. B. HEPBURN,
Ex-Comptroller ol the Treasury Chairman ol American Bankers' Association.
I'R currency laws certainly need amendment,
tg At V ■ Their rigidity is a constant menace to the busi
ng? ||| I ness of the country. Present laws and our present
®| fly I currency properly serve public interests in nor
■ nial conditions, when nothing disturbs public con
fidence. .WHAT WE REQUIRE ARE LAWS
WHICH WILL GIVE TO OUR CURRENCY
jS AND PANIC, when money received by the
employe, and other people as well, goes into
hiding in one's pocket instead of resuming its place in the banks and
in circulation. Let the pay rolls, which are usually transferred from
employe to savings bank, be hoarded through fear or distrust of gen
eral business conditions, and the amount of money in circulation will
very soon be lessened to such an extent as to create absolute strin
gency. Measurable relief has been found heretofore through clear
ing house certificates. Such, however, are available only as between
banks in settlement of balances. In the money panic of 1893 such
certificates were used by the New York clearing house to the amount
of $41,490,000 and afforded great relief to commercial interests.
THE TIME HAS GONE BY WHEN THE CLEARING
HOUSE CERTIFICATE MAY BE AVAILED OF # ITII
SAFETY. Their future use would materially impair our national
prestige as a money power in the world of finance. They are more
likely to damage than aid a city which may hereafter resort to them.
Interior banks would divert their exchanges to other localities that
still continue to pay currency, to an amount which would likely more
than offset the amount of clearing house certificates which could be
used.
WHAT WE REQUIRE IS NOT CLEARING HOUSE CER
TIFICATES, good only in the settlement of balances between banks,
BUT CURRENCY GOOD IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
FOR ANY BUSINESS PURPOSE. Our laws should be amended
so as to permit banks to issue emergency circulation—ASSET CUR
RENCY, if you please—currency, the redemption of which should be
made a first lien upon the assets of a bank, and still further protected
by a redemption fund maintained by the bank of issue with the
treasurer of the United States for such purpose. Let this be sub
jected to a five per cent, tax, if you please, a tax sufficient in amount
to inducet he retirement of the circulation in normal conditions.
During the recent financial crisis in Germany, the Imperial bank
prevented a serious panic, with all its distressing consequences, h\
issuing a very large amount of emergency or asset currency, upon
which it paid into the imperial treasury a tax of five per cent. THE

clerks at some of the wholesale houses

"1 met a negro at Texarkana about
a year ago. My name is not easily re
membered. A few days ago I met the
negro ia a Texas town, but did not re
member him until he recalled a little
incident of our former meeting. Yet
lie knew my name and my business and
asked me how the tea trade was.l
have heard other men comment on this
extraordinary gift of the negro in this
respect. They remember all the brands
of tea, coffee, tobacco, baking powder
and they associate one or the other of
these brands with a certain face and a
certain name, and never forget it. It is
really a very remarkable thing, and an
interesting and profitable field for
speculative psychology, and I would
like to see some scientist take the mat
