WE WEEP. Poor old Kansas! Poor old Nebraska! They have gone to the deminition bow wows. They are ruined. Thair name ie panta! They bare no joy on earth and no hope for the future. Because they voted for Bryan the edict has gone forth that they shall be punished Yea, yea, they shall be scourged sorely. Starvation shall walk forth m the highways and byways and gaunt want will stare forth from every household. The money kings have shut down on Kansas and Nebraska „ and they won’t loan a kopeck to the wild-eyed Mexican dollar fanatics The poor befuddled cranks had no business to vote for Bryan They ought to have known better than to vote as they prayed. The cruel wind will sweep down upon them with blizzards and frost bites and there is no help for it. Thay can burn corn or go frosted. The drought will come next summer and burn them up, and the rain will give them the go-by, and Old Nick himself will be to pay in general because they refused to vote for McKinley. Foor Kansas! Poor Nebraska!

We truly weep for you. The papers are full of your woes. Confluence in your willingness to turn over your crops and your votes to Wall street has been destroyed and how in the world are you going to live and clothe without confidence, the great business stimulatory How can you live without the consent of the east? The money power will come down and foreclose your mortgage now and take your old clothes and rag carpets and your calico drosses and your undershirts How dared the people of Kansas and Nebraska assert their rights and cast a free and untrammeled ballot? How dared they vote for what they thought was best? They ought to have known better. The edict has gone that Kansas and Nebraska shall bo devastated and depopulated. They shall become a howling wilderness; and her people shall go naked and go busted excepting Dudley township, Haskell county, Kansas, the only place in the United States where Palmer and Buckner wore supremee. Your Bookless statesman and your bewhiskorod farmers are undone Oh, but we pity you! We here in Indiana need to bo congratulated. Confidence has boon fully restored. It is a substance without body, soul or brain, an airy nothingness that fills all the wants of frail Blessed bo confidence! When a man needs a square meal there is nothing like confidence to fill a stomach od, and when he needs a now pair of breeches to keep out the chilling zephyrs from the northwest confidence will

cloth* him as warm as a beautiful dream.

We are proud of Indiana! We are proud that our state voted for sound money! We are proud that its people voted for the gold standard ticket. We haven’t any surplus cash but we are long on confidence and confidence is what knocks. Th* hundreds of men who have bean laid off sine* election ar* doubtlesa thankful that Indiana went for McKinley. Their dinner pail* are amity and they board at free soup houses, but confidence has been restored. Sic Semper Kansas! Root hog or die Nebraska! The men who have had their wagescut are glad that Indiana went for McKinley. They can now eat liver once a week and masticate confidence every other day of the week How thankful they are they do not live eitner in Kansas or Nebraska

We people in.lndiana who have had confidence restored to us, and who clothe ourselves in gunny sacks, eat saw dust and stave off the grocer are happy that we do not live in either of the crank ridden states of Kansas or Nebraska, where anarchy stalks abroad on every farm and where they can borrow no money. It is a blessed privilege we have in Indiana of borrowing money. We can borrow it any day or night that we want to. Nice, bright Wall street gold. To be sure we are compelled to put up ten times its value in salable property and pay good high interest and give a bill of sale of all we possess on earth, including our life insurance policy, but that is nothing when wo reflect on the. confidence we possess. That is merely a trifling incident to our happiness. Ye sons of Kansas and Nebraska, indeed we feel for you, but alas, we can not reach you. Migrate into Hoosierdom is as solid as limberger cheese—and as odoriferous—Goshen Democrat.

THE SILVER CRAZE.

THE AMERICAN NILE. BUCH IS THE GRSAT RIO GRANDE, WITH ITS VAGARIES. It la a Elver of Freakish Halit* aad Mast «• Iwa More Thaw Oaee to Be Ba-4eretea4*-Jlow. MM.ly teat at Time. There Is a Timet ea Bep. “It’s a river RffOO mH** l*rat mrasared In ft* winding*,” raid th* naan fnm Maw Mexio*, spraktag as ttw Bm Grande. ' ‘For a few anile*, at lie awotti, light draft toramer* ran up frem the gulf of Mexico. Above that it doran’t float a craft except at ferrira. In th* old days, when Mew Mexico was a prerieoe of ftpata, th* people *!*■• •** siver didn't oran hare Ises'j taste, md fce early way they bad of getting acaoaa was by far Mae. Yer Mais poop*** a special breed es Isag* h crate was reared to be kept at th* feeds. When th* sorer was too high fur tb*c* haseta be wad* asanas, travelers camped on the bank sad waited for the waters to subside. New there are bridges over th* river at th* larger Rio Grande towns, and in other places top* ferries and row boats are the means of crossing. “In times of low water a stranger seeing its current for the first time would be apt to think slightingly of tho Rio Bravo del Norte, ns the New Mexi-

cans love to call the great river. Meandering in a small part of a very wide channel he would see only a little muddy stream, for ordinarily nine-tenths of the Rio Grande is underground, the water soaking along toward the gulf through the sands beneath its channel. The valley, bounded everywhere to left and right by mountains or foothills, is sandy, and the water, percolating the sands down to hard pan, spreads out on each side so that it may always be found anywhere in the valley by digging down to the level of the river’s surface. For the greater part of the year the river above ground flows swift and muddy, narrowing as it swirls round a sand bar and widening over shallows. But the thing that strikes the stranger most queerly is its disappearance altogether for reaches, many miles in length, of its channel, which, except, it may be, for a water hole her* and there, is as dry as Bahara. Ths river is kwpuig right along about its businees, however, and where a rook reef or clay bed bloeks its subterranean current it emerges to the surface and takas a frosh start above ground, running as a big staeam whieh, farther down, may loo* itself in th* sands again. “It is when the floods com* down Meat th* Bio Granda shows why it ra qnires so big a channel for its all th* year round us* and. demonstrates that if the waterway wwe even wider it weald be an advantage to residents along its banka. It ia fed by a watershed of vast asea and steep deaeent, whieh in times of rain and melting snows precipitates the waters rapidly into the channel In June, when the snow malts on the peaks about its headwaters in Colorado and northern New Mexico, and later in the summer, when heavy showers and cloudbursts are the order of the day, the Rid Grande overflows its banks, deluging wide tracts of valley and sometimes carving a new channel for itself, changing its course for miles. Where the valley is unusually wide and sandy, as below Isleta and in the Merilla valley, the old channels in which the river used to flow are plainly indicated in the landscape. “No one who has seen the great river in flood is likely to forget the positive ferocity it seems to display as its waters sweep all before them, and woe to the man or beast who is overtaken by them 1 The flood arrives without warning. The sky may be clear above when the traveler, leisurely jogging across the wide channel, hears his wagon wheels grate upon the sand with a peculiar sound. It means that tlie waters are stirring the sands beneath him, and then, if he knows the river, he lashes his horse, making at all speed for the nearest bank, and lucky he is if he reaches it safe. The chances are that before he gets there he hears the roaring of waters up the channel and sees them coming down toward him with a front like a wall, rolling forward and dowmward as if over a fall, with a rising flood behind. Many a man and whole wagon trains have been overwhelmed in this way, and, buried in sands or cast away on desert banks, no human eye has ever ■een them again. “The great river haa its pleasing and romantic aspect, so fascinating that it is a saying among people who live in its valley that ‘whosoever drinks of its waters and departs will oome again to seek them. ’ Like the Nile, the Rio Grande enriches the soil of its valley to the point of Inexhaustible fertility. Along its banks in New Mexico are fields that for two centuries have been cultivated yearly, yielding great crops, and they are as productive today as when they first were tilled. Irrigating canals, called acequias madras (mother ditches), convey water from the river to lie distributed through little gates to the fields of the valley, which it both waters and enriches. A trip along the river reveals a succession of pictures of a primitive civilisation of the old Spanish-American type. Adobe villages, with small, flat roofed houses built about antique churches, and the spacious houses of the viooe, or great men; orchards, vineyards, Wheatfields and graaing cattle are all features of the scenery of the Rio Grande, the American Nile.”—New York Sun. Sevastopol. Th* fortifications of Sevastopol, which caused the allies so much trouble during the six months’ defense of the fortress by ths Russians, wer* at first vary weak, and military experts say the town might have been taken by a vigorous bombardment and assault during the first few days of the siege. The ignoranoe of the allied generals in regard to th* strength of the works caused a delay which the Russians improved by making the defense* almost impregnable.
