The statement given out by Mr. Bryan at Columbus, Ohio, commending the nomination of John H. Clark of Cleveland, for United States senator, has the right ring to it. As Mr. Bryan says, the democrats of Ohio stood for the Kansas City platform in 1893, and is they "in? have nominated, - --Mr. Clark, and for this reason the i taominee deserves the confidence and i support of the party. Mr. Bryan I raises but one objection to Mr. Clark’s candidacy, and that objection is now untenable. It is Mr. Clark’s position on One phase of the money question metallic money. Mr. Bryan believes that Mr. Clark was wrong in 1896, 1 but since that time money matters, as | to volume, have so shaped them-' selves that conditions are such as the ' party wished to bring about in 1896. | While Mr. Bryan has given to the party many words of wisdom, he has said nothing that will serve to unite all factions of the party more than in his statement endorsing Mr. Clark for the senatorship in Ohio. The party needs no reorganization, it simply needs reunion in its fight against wealth and trusts, and in its struggle for the common people. There are but two sides republicanism represents the one, and democracy the other and those who oppose the inroads of combined wealth can make no other choice, concientiouslv, than to espouse the cause of and work for the principles of the democratic partv. Mr. Bryan's advice is sound and it should be followed, not only by the citizens of Ohio, but those of every state in the union. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette.

SEEKING TO CREATE FALSE IMPRESSIONS

Indianapolis. Sept. 3.—Something o. the extent of the plight of the Republicans here may be realized when it is stated that they are making an effort to convince the public that T. Tag 4»art and his following is not going to support Holtzman, the Democratic nominee for mayor. The Republicans would like to have it appear that there is a break in the Democratic party. They are also anxious to create the impression among the rank and file of the Taggart men that their leaders don't care to havq Holtzman elected because Taggart is no longer at the head of the organization. Th>> tactics are very unfair, but no one is deluded by them. Taggart was here himself ! today, and the way he talked about matters left no doubt that he is not only interested in the success of the ticket, but that he is confident it wiii win. He will spend several days here this trip, but later he is coming for a longer stay, when he will put his shoulder to the wheel and do everything he can for the success of the ticket. The Democrats are not going to open the speaking campaign until after the thlrty-day poll is taken. It would not be surprising if the Indiana national guard should carry of! the first prize tor fine appearance at the encampment at West Point, Ky., under the direction of the federal gov ernment. The state has long had rea son to feel proud of its troops, as they are well drilled and probably no other state has a better-looking body ot manly young men. But before they go they will be equipped with their new uniforms and new arms—the lattei furnished by the government. But one or two states have secured their new arms yet, so the boys from Indiana will have an advantage right at; the start. It Is probable the state will have nearly 3,000 In the maneuvers. Colonel Barnet of General McKee's staff has been sent to West Point tc make arrangements tor the coming

It is probable that Governor Durbin and other state officials will visit the boys while they are in camp. The annual session of the state board of tax commissioners was adjourned today. It had continued for nearly three months, during which a great mass of work was done. The records will make two or three immense volumes. The work of the board will result in placing many million dollars worth of new property on the tax duplicate. The investigation of the board thorough, and a conscientious effort was made to equalize the valuation of real estate. Governor Durbin did not remain for the end of the session, as he is off for a short visit with one of his friends in Wisconsin. He will go to Boston next week to attend a meeting of the Masons of highest degree, and the following week will be the principal speaker at the annual encampment of the Stfhs of Veterans at Atlantic City Other members of the board also left i today for a vacation. But few people have any Idea of the death rate of the state until they are confronted by the bulletin of the state hoard of health, in July there were 2,765 deaths, divided among the principal causes as follows: Pulmonary tuberculosis, 315; others forms of tuberculosis, 47; typhoid fever. 68; diphtheria. 13; scarlet fever, 12; measles, 6; whooping cough. 14; pneumonia. 77; diarrheal diseases. 313; influenza, 11: puerperal fever, 15; cancer. 108; violence. 202; smallpox, 4. The highest death rate was in Scott county, where the per cent was 21.3 per thousand. the lowest in White, where the percent was but 3.6. There were 13 murders, 30 suicides and 153 deaths '-eg. 1 -•iden»

YtLLOWbTONE CANYON. At Firat It* IMKne*« mid Hnrbariu Color Are Overpowering. Imagine, if you can but you never can-a mighty cleft in the level earth a third of a mile wide, its brinks sharp, precipitous, reaching over 1.20 Q, feet ; downward, sometimes almost perpendicular, sometimes banked with huge heaps of talus or buttressed with spindling pinnacles and towers often surmounted with eagle nests, and all painted, glowing witli the richest color —vast patches of yellow and orange, streakings of red and blue, with here a towering abutment of red and there another all of yellow. At the bottom flows the gleaming green river, and at tlie top tlie dark green forest readies to the canyon edge, and sometimes even rugged and gnarled pines, the vanguard of the wood, venture over the precipice to find footing on some ledge or to hang, half dislodged, with angular, dead arms reaching out into tlie mighty depths, a resting place for soaring eagle or hawk. The sides of the canyon being not of solid rock, but of crumbling, soft formation, have furnished iJiiHtie material for the sculpturing of water and wind, which have tooled them into a thousand fantastic forms, One’s eye traces out gigantic castles. huge dog forms, bird forms, titanic faces- ail adding to the awful impressiveness of tlie place. For miles the canyon stretches northward from the lower falls. From numerous well guarded outlooks tlie spectator, grasping hard upon the railing lest the dizziness of these heights unnerve him. may tiehold a hundred varied views of the grandeur, looking either toward the fells which sworn

fill the canyon end like a splendid white column of marble, or off to the northward. where the stupendous gorge widens out. los-s some of its coloring, admits more of the forest and finally disappears among rugged mountains. Everywhere the view Is one that places tlie S’-:il of .lived silence upon the lips. It never palls, never grows old. One soon secs all too tntreb of geyser and paint pot; of this, never. At first the sensation of savage immensity is so overpowering that the spectator gathers only a confused sense of bigness and barbaric color, but when he has made the perilous descent to the canyon bottom below the falls, when he has seen the wonder from every point of view, he begins to grasp a larger part of the whole scone, to form a picture which will remain with him. —R.

UPRISING DENIED Premature Publication Proved Disconcerting to Bulgarians. Sofia. Bulgaria. Sept. 3. —The report of a general uprising in northern Macedonia is denied both in •official and revolutionary circles. Well-informed persons, however, assert that the report was correct, but that Its premature publication disarranged the plans of the revolutionists and therefore It is denied. According to reliable reports from Monastir, thousands of Bulgarians in that vilayet are confronted with famine in addition to Turkish persecution. Peasants who are continually arriving from Monastir complain of the attitude of Hllmi Pasha and the Turkish atrocities. The insurgents In the district of Adrianople appear to t>e less active. The Turks are pouring in in an overwhelming force and the revolutionists are taking refuge tn the mountains. Jhe Bulgaria leader has been wound- 1 eu and Las tied to Burgas. The Russian government has declined to receive the visit of the deputation of Macedonian fugitives in Bulgaria, who proposed to go to St. Petersburg an inform the rzar of the pitiable canditlon of Macedonia and beg for his Intervention. The deputation ha» been informed that the Russian government deems the visit unnecessary. as it quite understands the purpose of the deputation. The insurgents, it is reported, have captured the seaport of Ahtaboly on the Plack sea. and the Turkish population has fled to Conrjantinople. Turks Folic'* Kitchener’s Tactics. Constantinople. Sept. 3.—lt is said that the Turkish commanders are adopting Lord Kitchener's tactics in the Transvaal, by making drives in the Kiditissi district and elsewhere with the idea of destroying or driving the insurgent bands over the Bulgarian frontier. The authorities at Smyrna are refusing to call out more refills. those last summoned to the colors having deserted en masse because they received no pay. Give Warning of Plot. Constantinople, Sept. 3.—The porte has sent a note to the foreign embassies and legations informing them that according to police information the Bulgarian agitators are projecting outrages against the embassies, legations and other publications in Constantinople.

killed the chew Austrian Steamer On the Black Sea Blown Up On Way to Constantinople. Just After the Vaskapu Left the Bulgarian Port of Burgas Great Explosion Occurred. The Opinion Is Expressed That Bulgarian Revolutionaries Are Responsible. Constantinople. Sept. 3.—Three explosions on the Austrian steamer Vaskapu soon after ft left tbe Bulgarian port of Burgas on route for CoubUuUnople killed twenty-nine persons. The vessel caught fire and had to be beached. A telegram conveying this news was received by the agent of the Hungarian Levant line, to which the Vaskapu belongs. The telegram said the Vaskapu had been destroyed in the Black sea The captain and officers of the steamer and six of the crew were killed. The Vaskapu sailed from Varna, Bulgaria, and after calling at Burgas was steaming through the Black sea to Constantinople when three explosions took place on board. The deck of the vessel took fire and she had to be run ashore ?t Mislvroa bay. eighteen miles north of Burgas. The opinion Is expressed that the Bulgarian revolutionaries were responsible for the explosions. The Vessel Was Late. London, Sept. 3. Special dispatches from Constantinople published here describe the destruction of tbe steamer Vaskapu as a revolutionary outrage. They say that the bomb was timed to burst while the steamer was in the I port of Constantinople, but that owing to the vessel being twenty hours late in starting from Varna, the explosion occurred off Mini, Ria bay.
