It is tasted, but never swallowed. After five or six samples have been examined the jurors will rest a few minutes, then eat a bit of cheese and biscuit, after which they rinse their mouths with mineral water and proceed as be fore. This is kept up from nine in the morning until noon. Persons who can thus refrain from real indulgence in the wine cup presented in this tanta lizing manner are examples of absti nence which ought to inspire admira tion for tho race. It is not everyone, observes the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, who can thus tread near the danger and step back from the brink. With a man's nose in the cup that inebrates he is generally a goner. It is as good as settled when he gets so far as to lay his hands upon the wicker door. The exhilarating effect of suffering a stream of some 50 or 100 different kinds of wine to pass between one's lips, even if refused admittance at the inner portal, must be considerable; and a layer of cheese, a layer of bus pUit, and a layer of mineral water con tinijed for three hours, it would seeia would be a distressing ordeal. Aftei the'"bouquet" of the cheese, what be comes of the "bouquet" of the wine? There are cheeses that make one quite oblivious of every other thing set on the- table before one. We should have no confidence at all in the judgment of a jury after the sixteenth round of thsese. On the whole, our respect for these wine jurors will reach about the same plane that some other jurors have been held in cases where they have decided guilt or innocence bj shaking dice.

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN. Tlie OI«l Pot mill Krltle llimliirux l«e --%I % fil lu the lli-.uoerutlv 1111 II kit. Very little interest was taken in Mr. Bryan when he roile through the streets of Chicago Saturday, but some interest attaches to his speech which he deliv ered at the picnic of the Chicago Demo cratic club because of the preliminary advertising which it received. It was to contain a highly seasoned "roast" of Cleveland, and was to be a political pro nunciamento of national significance, says the Chicago Record-Herald. The attack on Cleveland was made according to expectations, but Mr. Bry an lias about exhausted his rhetoric in philippics of this sort, and we know only what we knew before, that he will do his utmost to prevent the Cleveland democrats from gaining control of the next democratic national convention. His logic on the injury done his can didacy in 18!h> by the record of the Cleveland administration is curious enough, however, to deserve some no tice. The odium of that record, he says, did more to defeat the democratic party than any one plank of the Chicago plat form. or even than all the planks that were severely criticised. In a sense this is true, but not at all in the sense that Mr. Bryan means. The greatest influ ence against the democrats was the hard times, and in all probability it would have defeated any democratic candidate if there had been no silver question. But there was a very general belief that the hard times were due to the Wilson HE FORESEES KiS i ; ATD. I - Bryan Says the Success of the Cleveland Movement Will Result in a Tragedy tariff bill, which had the support of Mr. Bryan in congress, and which both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan desired should become a law in a more radical form than that in which it was finally enacted. There was no divergence between the two men on this point, and if the Chi cago platform struck at Cleveland in its approval of Altgeld's views of govern ment by injunction and of state's rights, Mr. Bryan's own specialty was sixteen to one, the "paramount" issue. Here he diverged from Cleveland very widely, but Cleveland's ideas on the subject were known before the election of 1892, and they were the winning ideas in the elections of 18% and 1900. It is hardly clear, therefore, that the Cleveland ad ministration was so much worse than the Bryan convention as a vote re peller, and Mr. Bryan ought to get his Masoning powers into a better state of repair. As to bis speech aa a whole, we can not discover that it i* a keynote or ral lying cry. It is strongly denunciatory of Mammon, but Mammon has no self professed friends on the stump among democrats or republicans. PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

In his speech at the Carter Harrison picnic on Saturday Mr. Bryan held an inquest on (he national democracy, and returned a verdict in direct opposition to the facts, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr. Bryan proved that he had learned nothing since 1890, save to deify the semisavage Aguinaldo, and had forgot ten everything. His assertion that the republican victories in IS9G and since were won by no influence save those of corruption of the electorate showed his persistence in uttering malignant slan der upon increasing majorities of the American people. His declaration that "the odium which Mr. Cleveland's second administration brought upon the party did more to de feat it than all the planks of the Chicago platform" was so absolute a perversion of the truth that it could result solely from a blindness to lacts so total as to bo characterized only as political hys teria. Mr. Bryan's appearance on this par ticular occasion was interesting be cause it.was made under conditions that showed him to bo not averse to lending such influence as ho may still possess to the promotion of the absurd movement to make Carter Harrison a presidential candidate. His utterances, however, must have brought cold comfort to Mayor Harri son's friends, for he showed clearly enough that he considered a demo cratic victory in 1904 hopeless. His ex hortations to his party to be willing still to suffer defeat for the "princi ples" in whose support he has twice led it to disaster proved his hopelessness of victory. In his clinging to ideas repeatedly re pudiated by the people, in his persist ence in assigning every cause save the true one for the unbroken series of democratic disasters since 1894, Mr. Bryan proved one fact beyond a shadow of question. That, is that the naitonal democracy can never hope to have even the begin ning of a chance of success until it ab solutely eliminates Bryan and Bryan ism—until it gets rid altogether of a leadership which forgets everything, learns nothing, and continually slanders the American people. REPUBLICANS OF KENTUCKY. They Are I «»is I In* I'rlnclple* of ItdONCt 1U1(I llio I'art j. Harmony among the republicans of Kentucky will insure that state for Roosevelt and state officers. Democratic divisions arc widening on questions of principles as well as individuals. The present prospect is that the Cleveland and the Bryan elements will fight each other next year, more for supremacy witnin the party than with an expecta tion of BUCCCSS. Mr. Cleveland will not be passive in 1914 nor confine himself to voting the republican ticket, cays the S*. Louis Globe-Democrat. He will ac cept the democratic nomination if ten dercd. At all expects to figtiro prominently in making the ticket and platform. Mr. Bryan will be equally active and self-assertive. He will not forgive democrats who voted against him unless they acknowledge they were wrong. Mr. Cleveland and hi:-: associates propose to demonstrate by the action of the national convention that they were right in IS9t! and 1900. But the probability that the democrats of Kentucky, as well as of other states, will be arrayed agnlnst each other next ji ar is 1« ss significant if the republi cans of the state also propose to fight each other. Kentucky republicans were dHlbrrately robbed of the :tate ofTWs during the f!oet.rl period. On a fair vote the slat* is close.

Denver, Col., July 29.—Amalgama tion into one party was yesterday ef fected by the two factions of the peo ple's party in national conference. The following address was reported by the committee on resolutions and was adopted: "The manifest unrest which every where appears in the nation demon strates the dissatisfaction of the American people with the present management of government and ar gues the necessity of the reform forces coming together in united ac tion at the ballot-box to obtain prop er legislation by which the right of the people to self-government may be had for themselves si rid their pos terity. "Therefore, we, the populists of the United States, having this day at the city of Denver united forces with the distinct, understanding that all past differences as to policy shall be and now are permanently settled, and ex perience having demonstrated the fu tility of any attempt to secure the enactment of our truths either through the republican or democratic parties, we lielieve the time is now at hand when the united people's party should declare itself eniphaticallv op posed to any affiliation with either of these parties and unqualifiedly in fj,..,. ~c , ( , 11 :it political action. "Our fundamental principles are known to sill populists and are now here better stated than in that im mortal document enunciated at Omaha July 4. 1900. "However, for the benefit of the un informed, we declare our unyielding adherence to the demands for a money, whether stamped on gold, sil ver or paper, to be coined ami issued exclusively by the government, and made a full legal tender for all debts, both public and private; a system of transportation and the transmission of intelligence, owned by the public and operated by the government at the cost of service; land for use rather than for soeculation, and abo lition of alien ownership of land; American ships for American foreign commerce, without a cent, of sub sidy. "And as an open door for all eco nomic reforms we urge the rule, of the people through the optional ref erendum and initiative and the recall of derelict officials. "Confident in the justice of the principles here set forth, firmly con fident that their triumph in govern ment would be for the best interest of the people, we call upon the pa triotic citizens of this country to join with us in bringiiur aliout their enact ment into law. With these princi ples firmly established, equal justice would prevail, special privilege:! would be eliminated and ours would be, as patriots everywhere desire, a government of the people, for and by the people." The conference adjourned sine die last evening. It is expected that the two national committees which will meet here today will ratify the action of the conference in the adoption of resolutions providing for amalgama tion. The committee to nominate an organization committee was empow ered to add to its membership one man from each state and territory in the Union. This committee is to car ry 011 the work of organization until the next national convention, when it is expected that formal amalgama tion of the two populist parties will occur.

These are to the effect that since Sunday last GO armed and mounted men have appeared outside villages in the Cauto river district, proclaim ing a revolution and demanding the payment of the former members of the revolutionary army. Xo acts of violence have been reported, but the inhabitants of the Cauto region are excited. The leader of the revolu tionary party is named Pttpo. He is a brother of one of the bandits killed by the rural guard on Tuesday. On.

Lowell, Mass., July 30. —Two small gunpowder magazines, situated in the very midst of the residences of 50 mill operatives, exploded yesterday with a frightful concussion and the resultant wave of death cut off the lives of 19 human beings and injured nearly 50 others:. Half a dozen men who were loading kegs of powder from one of the maga zines were blown to pieees, four boys -Oil yards away were killed by The force of the explosion and 14 fraiir; houses within a radius of 400 yards went down as if they had been built of cards. Seven of these houses im mediately caught fire, probably from the kitchen stoves, and were com pletely consumed. At least three persons were caught in the ruins and burned to death, while seven or eight others, who were rescued, died sub sequently of their injuries. It is estimated that 70 separate pieces of property, including those already mentioned, were destroyed, while the force of fie explosion wrecked windows for five or six miles around, and its thunder could be heard distinctly more than 50 miles away. The magazines were the property of the I'nited States Cartridge Co., of this city, but fortunately were sit uated more than a mile away from the factory ilself. They were built of brick, about ten feet high, with a rounded roof of corrugated iron. They were constructed .'id years ago in what was then a broad open field on the banks of the Concord river. The company has for some time been desirous of strengthening the floor of the magazine nearest the street and yesterday morning eight men, three of them employes of the company, three expressmen and two carpenters were sent there with three large express teams to take out the powder and.mend the floor. Two of the teams had been loaded and the other was almost full when the ex plosion occurred. It was a long 1 time before the actual cause of the explosion could be as certained. It was thought at first, that every one within a radius of 50 feet of the magazines had been killed, but later it was found that Clarendon (ioodwin, the foreman of the men who were loading the powder, had survived, together with one of bis as sistants, Amadee Houlanger. Boulanger said that the men went down to the magazine nearest the street to fix the floor and after the teams had been loaded with the pow der which was in the magazine it was discovered that a can of nitro-glycer ine which was stored in the magazine was leaking. Mr. (ioodwin picked up what he thought was a jug of water and began pouring it onto the nitro glycerine with the idea of diluting it arid washing it up. As soon as the fluid from the jug struck the floor h» found that it was nitric acid. flu floor at once began to smoke, and when the men saw it they rushed front the building, but had not jone ten feet when the explosion oc curred. This magazine was therefore the first togo up. followed immediately bv the gunpowder in t the three wag ons, and several seconds later by the second magazine. To those who heard the crash it seemed as if there were two distinct explosions, with a continuous roar between them. There are, however, five holes in the ground, which seems to clearly indicate five explosions. Lowell", Mass., July 31.—A long line of hearses, moving slowly through the streets yesterday morning was a pathetic reminder of Wednesday's terrible catastrophe at Wigginsville, when an explosion of tons of nitro glycerine, dynamite and gunpowder snuffed out nearly a score of lives, painfully injured more than double that number of persons and scattered half a hundred buildings over a space of several acres. The. number of dead stamis at til. but it may be increased to 21 at any moment by the death of two of the ten victims now at St. John's hospital. Tnsurani e adjusters slate that the loss to their companies will be com paratively light, as ojilv the loss re sulting from fire will fall upon them. This Mill mean that many of the householders, nearly all of iheni laboring men of small means, will lose everything they had in the world. The selectmen have taken steps to help those who are suffering hard ships. Army tents will provide tem porary shelter. A relief fund started by the local papers has reached the $.'.000 mark.
