With the advent of a hotel com bine, which is the latest thine the way of trusts, it Is difficult to see wherein the commercial traveler is to get along. The Philadelphia Item dips its pen in vitriol and remarks that 'bankers an4 corporation lawyers lie awake worrying over the woes of the laboring man." The most striking difference be. tween Vermont with it 39,000 re. publican majority and Arkansas with its i!,U0 democrat lo majority, is that the former has four electoral votes and the latter eight. Tnr.itr. seem to be no longer rea. amiable doubt as to the withdrawal of (Jen. J. C. lilac k from the Held of candidates in Illinois this year as the democratio gold nominee for gov. ernor. The committee will in such event i Iioote between W. S. Fore, man. Henry Haab and Judge Thomas A. Moran. The New York Herald, the intol erant gold bug organ, says that Mryan, the democratio candidate for pretl'Ivnt. it a pauper. That is a fair ianiple of republican "argu ment" in this campaign. Bryan may be poor in puree, but he is rich in many things that his detractor are not, among which are brains, pntriotiitm. honor and love of follow men. And there ate enough of the ime kind of -paupers" in this American republic whu will vote for and elect Bryan president of the United States, even at the risk of offending the gold plutocrats of the cast and dear old Lunnon " tot- H. F. M a R.n, the erstwhile congressman from the congressional district including Kock Island has had a time of it reconciling his wed known attitude on the silver uet tion and his position now in support t the gold declarations of the re ublico platform. He is like unto Congressman I'rince in this respect, lol. Marsh spoke at Versaillea the other day, and the correspondent of the Mount Merling Examiner at Ver sailles thus reports the occasion: The colonel appeared to be loaded to the ruujt.le but not with trai'hts and tixxes but with pa. trioti-m and enthusiasm, and re. moved his coat at an early stage of the gitme. According to this cor. respondent the colonel gave birth to this pearl of speech: -We stand where we stand because we stand where we stand, and we do not know where we shall stand." -At the cloe of that sentence." says the sarao authority, -so e eartv setting forth a plan to be followed to end the money panic, restore confidence and insure the prosperity and happi nrss of all." adds the correspondent, -a mighty shout rent the air; bats! fans and umbrellas were thrown hl-h in tha ether blue, ami ,.. the old republicans on the stage sprang to their feet, hugged each other and swore that they would vote for a c ild standard, protection ami Col. Marsh as long as tbey have a ouimn on inur anirt." Meet Maa far I . Herr Most is a pronounced advc rate of the gold standard. He ad. tuits that he is an anarchist. There fore It would appear o the returns that the anarchists were for gold and not for silver. Herr Mos, how ever, dors not belitve that anything ran be settled at the polls. He calls an election -a monkey theatre." In b recent letter on tbe money que, tion the red-headed anarchist said: I have expressed the opinion that at present gold can only be used as a proper standard of value, because its t'osta or proauciioo are stable and alike all ever the world, whereat ail- ver Is getting cheaper every year. If, therefore, the latter might be used for money, notwithstanding the facta stated above, it should be done according to its market price, not 16 to 1, but (at tbia moment) 30 to 1, though that would render silver money rather inconvenient. Silver men had better invent some new articles of luxury, make them fash, lonable and flood all market. That would be the proper way to get rid of all the superfluity of silver and make it nsefnl. -I am, otherwise, no politician bat an anarchist, and consequently do not care for any party in the arena of voting fights, which I re. gard as a monkey theatre, good for the amusement of big children. I believe in revolution, and not in hum bog." A Peculiar Coach. At a rsw-ut meeting of one of the trvticu x:ii ti s a paper was read on what was diagnowil an a tousilar cough. This conis'li is described as violent, soas- nuKlic mid painful. It was frcqueiitly accompanied by reflexes in the neighbor ing rcRion, and particularly bv a nro- f am watering -f the eves. All remedies ordinarily applied produced no effect whatever, and as there was no expecto tuf ion the origin of the rough has seem ed olwure. The tronble, however, in ex plained by familiarity with the struc ture of tlie tonsils, iicveral nets of nerves renter and blend at and near the outer surface of the tonsils, where they fotm what is doseribed under the name of touytlcr plexus. The tonhi Is are connect cd by muscles with the apparatus of the larynx, a fact which makes treatment of the tonsils complicated and difficult. It is a common practice to cut off the tonsil., but this lias lieen attended with very grave results. The hearing is some times affected by this arrangement and the larynx is necessarily involved. The U-st surgeons are at present very careful mow they xTfonu any surgical oticra tion on the throat or tongue, as it is a fact past question that very few such operations are Fiurc fsIhI in the long run. There may be temporary relief, but it is almost invariably sbor. lived. New 1 oris le dger. Lsaxlna foe Precautions. It lias licet, computed that a fog costs be metropolis from A'50,000 to 4100.- 000 a day. A la'go portion of this is boron by the railroad companies. As KM m as the fog dcsccmlH the plato lay ers, without Waiting orders, leave their work and undertake the duties of fog signalmen. For this tbey receive an ex tra shilling u day. This appears a small Item, yet a single Itig lias been known to cost over ."i0 for extra wages to plato layers at C'lapham Junction alone. Kach fog signal man is supplied with a lantern, flags and a supply of detona tors. By means of these he conveys to the engine drivers the signals which tbey raimot distinguish throngh tho mi.f. " Cant inn" is given by a single det onator, "danger" by two detonators placed upon the rails nt a distance of ten yards apart. Detonators are small tin boxes two inches in diameter, each containing three percussion caps and a small quantity of gunpowder. At the base of each are two strips of lead for fastening it to the rail. They are made with great care, chiefly in Birmingham and Loudon, and it is rarely that one fails to explode. The wholesale price of detonators is 1 penny each, and the av erage nnnnal consumption of each big railway company is about 150,000, cost ing l'fJ2o.

At the head cf an almost unknown bay, beyond tho waters of Inglcfield gulf, the Falcon fonnd temporary rest; and there, under a lofty peak and in the presence of a mighty glacier, wo erected out two tiny buildings. The site was chosen upon a terntco in the bed of an ancient glacier and near a rapid brook that ran down to tho bay. Tho studio formed a wing of tiie larger building, and was built of three inch grooved pine. It was made with double wails, and hail an air Fjiace cf one foot com pletely enveloping tops, Kides and bot tom, and an additional air space of one inch formed by felt covering the walls ami ct'ilius. On the side facing tho west were placed double doors, and on the south a double skylight and a window. Over three of the exterior walls was fastened the conventional tar paper. In this small abode, the northernmost stu dio in the world, with a ground space of 15 by C'.j feet, and with a height of less than 8, my comrade and I were to dwell for more than a year. On Aug. 26, 189;!, the studio was made habitable with two folding beds, trunks and boxes for seats and recepta cles, ami oilcloth for floor covering. A long shelf was run along the west sido of the room, uear the ceiling, and under the skylight was placed a scries of shelves. A clock with a homelike voice gave an air of habitableuess to the room, and from the ceiling was sus pended a lamp with a chain for raising and lowering it always an object of wonder and delight to the childlike In nnit, or Eskimo.

Frank Gil bert tjtokes in Century. j The French Naval CnlU The old distinctions of battleship and cruiser, coast defease ship, lookout ship. torpedo catcher and all tho rest are to disappear utterly from tho face of French waters. The key words of the new scheme are homogeneity and au tonomy. The fleet is to be homogeneous through all its units, the units to be self sufficing for all the various func tions of war. The archetype of this au tonomous unit is tho Dupuy de Lonio. This vessel, generally classed as an ar mored cruiser, was launched iu 1890, but was not completed until some years later. She is of 6,300 tons displacement, 374 feet long, of ol feet 0 inches beam and 23 feet ti inches draft. iSbe steams 17.5 knots au hour with natural and 20 with forced draft and is reckoned able to make 4,000 miles at 12.5 knots with out coaling. She is armored and tnis is her most distinctive feature with 4.7 inches of steel throughout her whole length and almost over the whole sur face of the hulk For heavy armament she carries two 7.6 inch breechloaders and six C.3 inch canet quick firing guns, besides numer ous smaller quick firers. Tho heavy gnus are so mounted that sho can fire fivo of them ahead, astern or on either broadside. This formidable type Admiral Fonrnier proposes to strengthen and develop into the unit of his homogene ous fleet, which is to be equal indiffer ently to every service demanded of a warship.
