inj ; eld Republican says
f the Kentucky sen
t furnishes another
tt for the election of
? senators directly hy
?plo. ' e legislature wah De
it ballot by eight vot
ng to the ordinary
political game, the Dem
ocratic party was entitled to the sen
atorship. Four Democratic mem
bers, however, refused to be bound
by the verdict of thc Democratic
primaries of the State in favor of
Former Gov. Beckham, and thus a
deadlock was created.
? "The final election of a Republi
can, Mr. Bradley, was brought about
under circumstances that do not
reflect favorably upon the pre
sent system. Two Democratic mem
bers fell ill and wore absent without
pairs, while another had died. Tho
four Democratic bolters then voted
for the Republican candidate al
though, when their purpose was fi
nally disclosed, Beckham released al
of his followers from their primary
pledges ?nd offered to Fupport tho
releection of Senator McCreary or
any other Democrat upon whom the
party could agree. For thc Demo
cratic bolters to persist in voting for
the Republican candidate, under such
conditions, was, from a party point
of view no doubt, political treachery
of an exceptional nature.
"No such action was ever taken in
Delaware by thc Republican opon
ents of Addicks even, in the years of
ins malodorous struggle for a place
in the United States .senate, although
there were many occasions when a
^combination would easily have sent a
decent Democrat to Washington.
'Thc fact that these four Kentucky
Democrats were willing to deprive
their own party of a senator, and at
thc same time increase the Republi
can majority in the United States
senate, reveals again the progressive
demoralization of the Democratic
party and the extreme bitterness of
its factional feuds.
"These legislative contests over
senatorsbips arc vicious to an excep
tional degree if they result in ii
State being misrepresented. Wheth
i
have chosen a Democrat to the sen
ate had they been given the chance
of voting directly on the senatorship
question. However the electors
might have decided as between
Bradley and Beckham and other can
didates, (hoy would at least have set
tled the issue beyond further dis
pute. Ami the popular choice
would have been made clear. But
now Kentucky has a senator elected
through an cxtraordinaay complica
tion of accidents, feuds and deals;
and no one knows whether or not he
s the real choice of the people."

ly those of the independent kind,

MOM B v CHANGERS KNOW A LOT
Indeed They Have To, to Keep Track
of European Co itu, and Coun
terfeits.
"I never realized until today," Haid
a man who liud Juni returned from
Europe, "what na undertaking lt ls
to be a money changer.
"I came bock with about $20 lil
forolgu money, principally Kreuch
aud Itullun. This 1 took to a money
changer's to cash in.
"Ho lookc. over tho coins rapidly,
throwing them into little piles and
putting down notes oa a slip of pap
er. When he had cleared up tho lot
he said I had $10.26 coming to ino.
"At first 1 thought he wa? doing
mo. But he was not. He showed nie
a dozen or so Italian coins that had
boon demonetized and were wort!)
about 10 cents on the dollar. There
waa u nice little pile of counterfeits
that were not worth a cent, and
altogether only about a third of tho
coins that 1 brought home were worth
their full value.
"Tho only consolation I had was
that I thanked by stars I am In the
Insurance business and net in the ex
change business for ni > poor little
brain could not fairy half the things
that those fellow? have to remem
ber."
The man with the ?oins did not ex
aggerate. There are thousands of
different coins flouting uuoul that a
money changer has to know. He
has to keep in mind ever> demonetiz
ed coln made within th? last buudrod
years.
In addition to that there are conn
forfeits. The Immigrants bring over
heaps of bad coins. Many of them
buy up counterfeits cheap with the
hope of exchanging Hum at Killis ls
land.
Then there are the coins of the
South American countries. They are
worse than thoso of tho European
countries. Brazil for Instance has a
scheme all its own. Certain notes
are good for ten years, altor that
time for every year they lose 10 per
cent, of their face value until tho
whole value is used up and they are
worth only the paper they are print
ed on.
As one man expressed it yon have
to know the history of the world to
be a money changer A peculiar part
of the business ls the reshipment of
coins back to the countries whence
they came. Often during the rush
season one firm sends back a million
coins, while lt is estimated thal In
the course of a year $10,000,000 111 ibr
eign money is reshipped to Europe
and a million to the rest of the
certain price just as you buy eggs
and cigars.

JUST KICKED A CAT.
Cure for Rheumatism Discovered by a
Jersey Freight Clerk.
A clerk in the Pennsylvania Kail
road freight office in Jersey City,
suffered from spasmodic twinges in
bin right leg, which he attributed to
rheumatism. ll" consulted a physi
cian and spent a good deal for modi

A few minutes later he gritted his
teeth hard and arose, j le shook his
leg and feebly smiled. Then ho
walked like a druin major across tho
floor and boisterously shook hands
with himself. The sharp twinges had
disappeared and there has been no
recurrence of pain.
The clerk's doctor corrected his di
agnosis when asked for an explana
tion of the sudden cure and said that
what he mistook for rheumatism
was probably caused by a
twisted ligament. Tho kick at
tho cat straightened out tiho
twjst and removed the cause Of tho
trouble.
What Glim Arabic Really ls.
Cum arabic, which forms one of thoi
more import,mt minor exports of
Egypt, ls really the sap Irwin a spechV)
kind ol tree which grows from three
to five yards in height, whole forests
of which are found in thc K?rdofan
Province, and also near GCu.u, in tho
White Nile Province. The natives aro
free lo colled the gum. The season
during which tho trees yield their
sap runs from December to May. Pri
or to gathering the crop the natives
prepare the trees by slightly cutting
the bark in numerous places. Tho
sap then exudes, solidifies In the shape
Of large and small lumps and is af
terward gathered by hand, such gath
ering being done before tho rainy
season csomnieiiccs. There are two
main classes of gum ambcr-llko and
bleached. In the latter the gnni is
merely exposed (o the strong action
of the sun generally in Omdurman
While in the former instance it is al
lowed to retain its natural amber
color. The confectionery trade if?
perhaps the principal purchaser of
gum arabic, though a Very larg?

Dead Bacteria Dangerous.
One retail I of bacteriological re
search is the distinction between hi
red ive and intoxica!ive diseases. In
Uni former tho general multiplication
of micro-organisms in the body of the
pal lent is thc Salient feature, While
in the latter poisoning is the cause
of the malady.
Thus, stales a well known authori
ty, thc dead bodies of typhoid bacilli,
Although destitute ol all infectivo
properties, arc yet toxic when Intro
duced into animals in VlrtUO of tho
intracellular poisons they contain.
Accordingly, in the ?ase of many dis
eases formerly regarded as purely in
fective, it has now become apparent
that, in addition to the Infective, tho
poisonous properties of tuc Invading
bacterial colls must be taken Into ac
count.
