587-D EVENING NEWS AND TELEGRAPH. Buffalo, Saturday, Aug, 11. 1900. KEEP IT UP, DOCTOR! Dr. J.

D. Bonnar has done well in addressing to the State Railroad a letter urging action by the State to abolish grade crossings at Central Park and Highland Park before the Pan-American Exposition. Unquestionably now is the time that work should be done. The crush of business on the Belt Line next year, when the cars of all roads are to be taken that way to the Exposition grounds, will add enormously to the risk of those crossings, and to the delays in street travel when the gates are down. Dr.

Bonner knows the situation well. His association is engaged in a very practical work in pressing this needed Improvement on the attention of the State authorities. There should be some way of getting action by the State initlating and supporting the work. Not alone the Main Street Business Men's Association, but the entire Buffalo and thousands who are coming to attend the Exposition will approve and be grateful for whatever can be done to push the good work. THE CHINESE ARE DISCREET.

The results of the war brought on by the Chinese has, thus far, proved discouraging alike to the imperial forces and Boxers. Nor had the Chinese Government gained any Jaurels in the diplomatte field, its deceptions and frauds having been detected and thwarted early in the contest. The report, therefore, that Li Hung Chang has been directed to negotiate for peace may be received with some credence. The Chinese have been more successful In negotiating than in fighting, and they may hope to save Pekin from spoliation and perhaps destruction by offering to settle on terms which the Allied Powers may dictate. Ruesian successes in the North are inspiring to the army now moving toward Pekin from Yang Taun, the base of supplies for the continental army.

The reply of the Washington Government to Minister Conger advises against leaving Pekin under Chinese protection, President McKinley taking the position that ministers accredited to a government must be protected at Capital, when the dangers outside of the Capital are more threatening than those. inside of the seat of power. The Americans and British fought side by side in the front at Yang Tsun. THE "GROWING LIST." The list of defections from Bryan and his "lost cause" to the steadily growing Republican cause has been going on every day and reported in the NEWS, but the Bryan organs pretend not to have seen them. The latest additions to the list are as follows: Port Chester (N.

Dally Item supported Bryan four years ago and will now support McKinley and Roosevelt. In repudiating Bryan, Thomas J. Blaine, in a leading editorial in the Dally Item, said: "It is a long step backward. means cowardice, weaknese and, the acknowledgment that the American people cannot deal with the great problems which were left as a legacy from a war undertaken in righteousness and ended in victory. The Democratic party from its birth to the advent of Bryan -has always been- the party of expansion, and its present posttion on the question is a complete reversal of the pollcy of the party since the beginning of the government.

The Dally Item Is opposed to the lowering of the Stars and Stripes where they have once been raised." Ex- United States Senator Lee Mantle, chairman of the State Committee of the Silver Republicans, It was announced yesterday, has written a letter formally renouncing his allegiance to that party and going back to the Republican party. Mr. Mantle says: "To my mind the paramount issue today is the issue of maintaining the honor and dignity of -the Nation and the supremacy of Its flag wherever it is rightfully floating." The NEWS published an article yesterday from facts gathered from the St. 'Louts Globe-Democrat, which showed that the Germans of Belleville, repudlate the "burning Issue of ImperialIsm," and will vote for McKinley and expansion. Among the leaders of these Germans is Edward Abend, who four years ago was on the Bryan electoral ticket, but who now thinks that "the effort of the Democratic party to help Aguinaldo is wrong.

Mr. Abend voted for Bryan In 1896; he will vote for McKinley, If alive, in November. The Hotel World has made the same prediction this year that was made by that special publication last year -the general sentiment of hotel visitors is for McKinley and Roosevelt. This statement is made by the Leavenworth Times, published by D. R.

Anthony, brother of Susan B. Anthony, the noted reformer: At the Morrie County Republican convention George Morehouse, the candidate for State- Senator, counted 12 delegates who in 1896 were Bryan men. Near Council Grove is a stalwart farmer with six song who all voted for Bryan four years ago and are now Republicans: In another part of the same county, of alx brothers who voted for fusion hitherto, two are now for McKinley and one is wavering. The Concordia Blade says that a pleasing and promising state of affairs exists in Concordia, politically speaking. Among the signers to the membership of the Concordia McKinley and Roosevelt Club are from 20 to 30 men who four years ago supported Bryan and 16 to 1.

These men all recognize the prosperity that has come under the McKinley Administration and are satisfied to see them continue. A correspondent tells the Albany Evening Journal that a visit to Oneida County reveals the fact that Bryan's talk against militarism is driving the young Democrats and frat-voters Into the Republican ranks. The young men are followers of the flag. A mechanic whose name is known to the New York Sun, says that he voted for Bryan in 1896, but that the advance in wages causes him now to vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, and 15 Democratic neighbors will follow his example and vote as he proposes to do. James E.

Boyd, the only Democrat who was ever elected Governor of Nebraska, says: "With America imperialism la impossible. The 16 to 1 in the Democratic platform will cause Bryan's defeat under heavier majorities than were given four years ago. It was sheer idiocy." W. 8. Stratton, a prominent mine owner of Colorado who supported Bryan In 1896, now says: "I shall return to the party that has brought prosperity to every part of the United States.

I am too good an American to refuse to support the party that favors expansion and protection. Expansion is destiny, and no true American can oppose It." The above are samples of the additions to the "Growing List" which the NEWS has been giving to its readers every day for some time past, but which the Democratic organs in neighboring districts declare they have not seen. "There are none so blind as those who will not see." MAYOR DIEHL'S "BOOM." Ambition for the Governorship doesn't seem to have turned Mayor Diehl's head at all. In answer to questions as to his "boom" reported from Saratoga, the Mayor quietly says he is not a candidate, and is concerned about other matters, especially the' onerous duties of the Pan- American Mayor in the remaining busy months of his term. When pressed to say if he would accept a nomination, Mayor Diehl frankly admitted that that was another question, but added he was not seeking the Ination.

It is stretching language a little to talk of a "boom" for Mayor Diehl. There is no very distinct movement for his nomination. Richard Croker has heard of him, however, In that connection, and what Richard says will go at the convention, in all probability. As an abstract proposition the advancement of the Mayor has at least the character of seriousness. It is not a joke on its face.

AN APT PICTURE. Abraham Lincoln, styled "The Great Emancipator." struck the shackles with which slavery had encumbered the limbs of the negro and bade him go free in a free country. Since the day on which the Proclamation of Emancipation was promulgated to a rejoicing people the nation has been honored as one having met a great issue and triLumphed by calling upon Justice to balance the scales. But the Democratic party, true to its old hatred of the negro, has partially undone the work of Abraham Lincoln, whom William Jennings Bryan professed to admire and honor, and has taken the franchise of freedom and manhood from millions of men who are robbed of right to share in adjustment of the affairs of the the country of which he is to the manor born. It Is not often that a man seeking gifts of office pauses in his career to rebuke his own doing and the doings of his party.

But that was done by Mr. Bryan the other day when he delivered his speech on Imperialism. In drawing an oratorical picture to apply to the Government, Mr. Bryan unconsciously drew a picture that fitted the violent withdrawal of the ballot from the negroes of the South where the Democratic party has declared against allowing certain classes of negroes to continue to have what Abraham Lincoln intended they should have -the right to possess and use a freeman's ballot. This is the picture which Mr.

Bryan drew which so closely fits the disfranchisement of the negroes of the South. We give It here in Mr. Bryan's own words, with the exception of inserting political party," for "the nation," without further comment: The young man upon reaching his majority can do as he pleases. And it so with a political party, It is of age and can do what it pleases; it can spurn the traditions of the past; it can repudiate the principles upon which the nation rests; it can employ force instead of reason; it can substitute might for right; It 'can conquer weaker people; it can exploit their lands, appropriate their property and kill their people; but it cannot repeal the moral law or escape the punishment decreed for the violation of human rights: "Would we tread In the paths of tyranny, Nor reckon the tyrant's cost? Who taketh another's, liberty His freedom is also lost. Would we win as the strong have ever won, Make ready to pay the debt, For Is the the God who reigned over Babylon God who is reigning The Chinese "Idyllic diplomacy" will not accomplish very much.

It creates "alarming The record of deaths from heat in three cities-New York, Chicago and Philadelphia-show the total number to be thirty. Eleven died in New York. Buffalo's record is one fatal case for the season. The favorite summer resort still holds foremost rank. Yang Tsun was taken twelve hours after the capture of Pletsang.

The call was very prompt. Notice the operations of the signal corps. Its wires were up so as to send the news of the occupation of Yang Tsun practically as soon as the troops entered. The rumor that former President Steyn has killed himself has no foundation to rest upon. The deposed President has never shown weakness in all the misfortunes that have followed him.

He fought with the people until completely overpowered and exhausted. From such sturdy bravery there should no weakness at the last evidence of a falling cause. The laying of a new cable to connect America with Germany commences today, The men of the fatherland will be In closer connection with the old friends at home, and commercial differences will be adjusted by the electric spark between the two countries. America is sending large sums of gold to Europe. The Bank of England Is allowing required concessions.

New York is rapidly becoming the greatest of markets. A Jubilee edition of the Pittston Gazette has been received at this office. This splendid issue bears date of Auguat 2 and commemorates the fiftieth anniversay of the founding of the paper. The world has advanced in the past fifty years. At the other end of the fifty years, if a man wished to travel from New York to San Francisco overland he could go less than on of the distance overland.

Theodore Hart Is now owner and proprietor of the Gazette and owing to his able direction and ability as an editor the Gazette has become a power for good in the Wyoming anthracite coal fleld. In the Jubllee edition of 16 large pages are shown to what proportions Pittston has grown and how much the business men are imbued with the spirit of progress In the town and county, It is an excellent number-neatly Illustrated and handsomely printed. A girl rescued a man from drowning yesterday at Alexandria Bay, In former times it was only men who made such rescues. Ruhlin was ruled out of any chance of winning the fight last night after the first round, by Fitzsimmons In the ring of the 20th Club, The battle was fought with less of brutality than usual from leaders of the heavyweight class. Fitz is a phenomenal boxer.

In the case of Caleb Powers, former Secretary of State, charged with complicity In the Goebel assassination at Frankfort, the testimony closed yesterday. Many anticipate a disagreement of the jury owing to contradictory evidence. Contradiction and impeachment has been the order for the past few days, The Chinese troops at the battle of Yang Tsun were paralyzed by the effects of the Lyddite shells sent among them by the British. The cry arose among the Celestials that the "Foreign Devils" were pouring poison into their ranks. The only alarming omens in the Chinese situation are omens of Chinese defeat and mostly concern the.

My wealth-the golden sunshine rare; The moon's bright, silvery beams; The sparkling star-gems of the sky: A land of happy dreams; An orchestra of tinkling brooks And winds among the trees; A. choir of merry, singing birds And drowsy, humming bees. The world's conservatory vast Of flowers of every hue; The velvet carpet of the flelds Be-gemed with drops of dew. These my estates, and all the gold That in the world there be Could not avail to buy, I say, These precious things from me. The more one yields to temper the greater demands it will make.

It is folly to talk wisdom to a fool. A small amount of learning will swamp a shallow mind. When you do a thing you'll find 'twill pay To do it in business way; And be the labor great or small, Just do it well or not at all. Stagnant water will soon become foul. It Is the giving out that keeps the fountain pure.

A word in anger spoken May mean a friendship broken. A theory has no value until proven, and then it is no longer a theory. Don't say you'll do a thing Unless you mean to do it. Who promises and fulfills not Is pretty sure to rue it. BUR.

CROWNS MARKED DOWN. Its nice to be a royal nibs And have no one dispute you, To stick a dagger through your ribs Or get a gun and shoot you. It once was swell to wear a crown, But people now confess, The kingshop biz is all marked down To ninety-eight or less. -The Tattler, in Louisville Times. Amending the Declaration.

(From the San Francisco Post.) The Globe-Democrat very pertinently suggests that the Democratic edition of the Declaration of Independence will have to undergo some typographical corrections before It will be acceptable to the South. One of the principal changes is that in which the expression "consent of the governed" wIll be made to read "consent of the Governor." How the Globe Was Measured. In the sections devoted to Earth and water and "Mer'), of the Paris Exhibition we can see the implements used for the first measuring of the globe. Hardly credible, it seems-yet such 19 the case--that one of the most important expeditions organized for this purpose is due to the convention. In his "Popular Lectures on Astronomy," the late Astronomer Royal, writes: "There is one measure worth naming on account of the extraordinary times in which It was affected.

It was the great measure extending from Dunkirk to Barcelona, afterwards continued to the Balearic Islands. It is worth mentioning because It was done in the hottest times of the French. Revolution. We are accustomed to consider that time as one purely of anarchy and bloodshed; but the energetic government of France, though laboring under the greatest difficulties could find the opportunity of sending out this expedition, and completed a work to which nothing equal had been attempted in England." And here In the Champs de Mars we have perhaps before our very eyes the very implements employed in the expedition to, an expedition, be it remembered, due to Danton and his colleagues of the convention. THE HOMES OF THE TOILERS.

Sossip of the Courts of Curope. weak very wise! How very small the great are! Thackeray. (Copyright, 1900, 1 by Marquise de Fontenoy.) Italy's new King has been guilty of a gross plece of Injustice, If, as asserted by the cable dispatches, he has dismissed General Count Ponzio Vaglia from his offices at court in consequence of the death of Humbert. The General, It Is true, wan the minister of the royal household, the chief of the King's milltary establishment, and the Grand Marshal of the court, and as such nominally responsible for his sovereign's safety. But as in the case of other crowned, heads and royal personages, the task of providing for their Immunity from all harm at the hands of cranks and assassin was confided to a special body of secret police, all of them picked men.

who are the people directly responsible for the safety of their Illustrious charges. Were anything untoward to happen to Queen Victoria, that is to say in the shape of a regicidal attack, the officlals held accountable. would be Superintendent of Police Fraser, who is responsible for her protection, and who like officials fulfilling analogous dutles on the continent, is allowed to pick of the entire Metropolitan police force. Possibly, too, the nation might Insist on taking the Secretary of State of the Home Department to task as well as his subordinate, the Director of the Criminal Investigation Division. But no one would dream of placing the blame on the shoulders of Lord Pembroke, who as Lord Steward of the househld occuples the same position at the court of St.

James as Gen. Ponzio Vagliz at that of King Humbert. The old general was devoted to his royal master, whom he had known from boyhood, and had been attached to his staff in varlous capacities from the time that he first joined the army. The Gen- eral is typical North Italian, possessed of all the characteristics of the Pledmontese. That is to say he is as taciturn and reserved as the Neapolitan Is garrulous and effusive.

He is the soul of honor, absolutely fearless, and exact and precise, alike in his behaviour and in the performance of his official dutles. He aspired to no political role, nor influence, although the minister of the royal house is supposed to be the principal adviser and "alter ego" the King, and throughout the tenure of his office, he contended himself with mere obedience. The King was very fond of him, Invariably treated him as an old friend and comrade, addressed him as "Thou" and was wont to talk to him in the homely Piedmontese dialect. The General has been blamed for not having shielded Humbert with his own body from the bullets of the assassin, and his conduct has been compared to his disadvantage with that of Premier Cairoli, who, when Passanante, attempted to stab Humbert at Naples in 1878, threw himself in front of King, and received in his breast the knife which would otherwise have been plunged into the monarch's heart. But those who cast this slur upon the General do not know him, and it is certain that had there been any possibility of throwing himself in front of his King, he would cheerfully have sacrificed his own life, like a loyal and fearless Piedmontese that he is, to save that of his friend and King.

Incidentally It may be pointed out how very few instances there are of those in attendance on royalty having the presence of mind to place themselves between the regicide and his victim in the moment of supreme danger, I can recall but one instance that presents any analogy with that of Premier Cairoll at Naples-namely, that of the Comte de Raimbaud, equerry to Napoleon who when the Pole, Berezowski, made his memorable attempt to DOINGS IN CANADA.

An Editor Who Didn't Scare. The editor of the Port Chester (N. Daily Item is a Democrat, and in 1896 his paper supported Bryan. This year he repudiates Bryanism and all that the Kansas City platform represents, and for his stand has been subjected to much abuse, even to threats of whitecapping from the rabid element of the Bryan party in his city. The other night he was hanged in effigy to a pole in the public square.

He saw the stuffed figure as he went to his office in the morning, hired a small boy to climb the pole and cut the effigy down, and carried it to his sanctum. That afternoon he printed his opinions of such cowardly abuse as he was receiving, assuring his persecutors that he owned his paper, and that as he was not easily frightened he proposed to run it according to his own notions, adding: "I supported Bryan in 1896 under protest. I did not like his views on the kill Emperor Alexander II. of Russia at Paris In 1867, dashed his horse forward so as to shield the Czar from the pistol which he saw being aimed from among the crowd at that monarch's head. The gallant device was successful, for the bullet instead of finding a billet either in the body of the Czar or the plucky equerry, plerced the neck of the horse, which the latter was riding.

The Count died only the other day at Paris, forgotten by everyone, little or no notice being taken of his demise by the ParisIan press, which was far too busy at the time in furnishing picturesque details to its readers of the 18th attempt of one of the Queens of the Halt World to commit suicide. It is probable that Gen. Ponzio Vaglia's dismissal will be followed by many others, and that numerous faces familiar to Americans will disappear from view at the Italian court, some of them In particular being held in special and undisguised aversion by the new King. Indeed, one of the reasons why Queen Marguerite has announced her Intention of withdrawing to Streza to take up her residence with her mother, the old Duchess of Genoa on the shore of Lake Como, 1a precisely because she realizes that with all her old friends gone, the atmosphere of the Italian court under the new reign will no longer be congenial, for since his marriage the new King has ceased to be as devoted to his mother as formerly, and the almost touching attachment of one for the other has become a thing of the past. The fact of the matter is that the new Queen and the now widowed one, do not harmonize any longer, and that Victor Emmanuel- III.

takes his wife's part against his mother. It is probable that the new king will keep on his father's master of the horse, the Marquis Layatico, who is related to some of the grandest patrician houses of Rome and of Florence, and to whom belongs the credit of having raised the royal stables at Rome to their present high standard, for they occupy a place In the front rank of the royal and imperial equine establishments of the old world. His features are of a somewhat Hebraic character and he always used to remind me of Du Maurler's Svengali with his hooked nose and long beard, he latter concealing almost the whole of his face. Like Gen. Vaglia, he is extremely taciturn, differing therein from his brother-in-law, Prince Corsini, 80 well known to the American visitors at Florence, where he has a superb palace, the salons of which are presided over by his charming wife, a princess of the house of Colonna.

Count Brambilla, the grand huntsman of the court, an old chum of King Humbert, is likely, however, to be shelved and so, too, is Count Giannoti, the grand master of the ceremonies, who is married to Miss Kinney New Jersey, a ole lady considerably older than himself, and whose French is of the most amusing and entertaining character. The count, who used formerly to be known as "Le Beau Glanneti," already got into a very serious scrape during the last reign through his indiscreet correspondence with one of the editors of the Paris Figaro, and at the time the then crown prince expressed the opinion that indiscretion was such as to render his retention in office as impolitic. Another face which will disappear from the scene is that of Queen Marguerite's principal and only permanent lady in walting, the now widowed Marquise of Villamarina, who has never left Her Majesty for a single day since the date of her marriage, more than 30 years ago. She Is more of friend than an attendant, Identifying herself absolutely with her soverelgn. She speaks English perfectly, and has presented many American ladies to the Queen.

From the day was adopted I made up my mind that it was my duty and the duty of every other American with patriotism in his veins to opit.

The Democratic party from Its birth to the advent of Bryan has always the party of expansion, and its present position on this question is a complete reversal of the policy of the party since the beginning of the Government." The conservative element of Port Chester are with the editor in his fight. It is said that the people in both the banks, all the clergy, Including the Catholic priests, and scores of leading business men, many of whom have hitherto been for Bryan, will vote this year for President McKinley.

All day within the mills the roar of wheels, Dizzily sliding belts and buzzing reels. Then home, so weary that the day is dim, And the brick desert seems to whirl and swim. But home, despite its meagerness, With wife and babe and hearthside cheer to bless. Yea, when the light shines out, what peace is cast Before the feet of him who wanders past!

The gulls are crying In her heedless ears That strength is made a mock At grips with the great sea. She has no fears, But treads with naked feet the stair of rock That has but known for years on weary years The touch of sea gulls' wings, the sea that rears The Her sun waves that against burns it and with sears.

recurrent shock, She has no fear because her dally bread She sees made manifest Here in the pendulous weed that tempts her tread Upon so wild and dangerous quest. The samphire sways and dangles overhead And home is far below; and in that nest Are little hungry mouths that must be fed, Though Danger be her neighbor and her guest. Night brings her little children to her knee daily bread to pray; Their father tosses on the open sea, Where flashing shoals of silver dolphins play, But hungry mouths must feed while he's away, So the brave mother clambers day by day, And pulls the samphire trails, and knows not she Is of that school of saints that wear no bay But do God's work the still and splendid way. -Nora Hopper, in "Songs of the Morning."
