CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA

FE1T12ES OP POLITICAL MKETIXCiS lirD AT VA II IOCS PLACES. Ffir.Farmtrii In Wayne County AffllcHed with the Free-Silver Crnie Henry I. Johnson's M ork. Epoclal to th Indianapolis Journal. " RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 27. The Republicans of this city and county have manifested much activity during the past week and will maintain It until the end of the campaign. There have been, reports circulated that nearly all of the farmers in certain of the townships are for free silver. The trouble has been- taken to investigate these reports and it Is found that they are largely untrue and gTeatly overestimated. For Instance, in one township it was claimed that there were nineteen free-silver Republicans, but it was found, upon inquiry, that there were not over six and that a part of those had not always been sound on Republican principles. This holds true, largely, in all the other townships. Men who are in a position to know claim that the Republican majority in Wayne county will be largely increased. Yesterday afternoon, at Pleasant Plain, north of this city, there was a rally and pole-raising that was a great surprise in point of numbers. The speaker was J. Bennett Cordon, of this city, a young man who has won the title of "the boy orator 'of the Whitewater." Delegations were present from half a dozen of the neighboring villages and there was much enthusiasm. Dinner was served and the event made a sort of love feast. Dr. Edward Markbreiter, of Chicago, had two good meetings here- last night and the night before, speaking to the Uerman population in their own language. Representative James E. Watson has been assigned to Wayne county for Oct. 2, 28, 29 and 30. On the first named date he will speak here. Frank T. Root, of Connersvllle, spoke to the Republicans of Cambridge City last night. John F. Joyce, of Rushville, will speak at Milton on the night of Oct. :!. The Hon. William Dudley Foulke has returned from the East and will take an act!v put in the campaign for sound mony. He was to have spoken yesterday for the. first time, but was prevented on account of sickness.. iDr. Iarcas, of Indianapolis, will speak at Centerville on Oct. 5 and . Greensfork on the 6th. . .- Great preparations are being made for the meeting here on the "night of Oct. 11, when the city will b visited by Messrs. .Alger. Tanner, Sigel, Sickles and Howard. A number of committees have been appointed to have charge of the details of the affair. Two meetings will be held, one oi them in the opera house and another In a large tent. The Wayne county excursion to Canton, on Oct, 6, promises to oo a Dig .auaii. , The Illot at Orente. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: : The. publication in to-day's Journal in reJgard to the trouble that occurred at the ! T?emocra.tlc rally at Orestes yesterday must have reached you through some person who has been misinformed. In the first place, the delegation was informed upon reaching the. outskirts of the town that a crowd of Belgian hoodlums had congregated in the street in front of the Republican headquarters and were boasting that no silver delegation should be allowed to pass on that street. As the procession moved by ,they began to snatch the flags and bunting from the horses and to throw rocks at the dele gation. They crowded the delegation to one side of the street, and when one of the ' marshals of the delegation rode up and ; asked them to please move back and let the delegation go by they snarched him from his horse and began throwing clubs and stones into the crowd. These missiies they had gathered in piles in readiness for use. This so infuriated the people in the delegation that they climbed from their wagons and horses and 1 a hand-to-hand fight resulted. The foreigners were driven r back into and around their headquarters, some of them being considerably scratched and bruised by the infuriated crowd. The windows in front of the headquarters were smashed in. The affair lasted but avery short time, the crowd jumping into their , wagons again and going direct to the scene of the speaking. These are facts just as they occurred directly at the side of the carriage in wnicn was seated the writer of this article. The citizens are very indignant over the affair, both Republicans and Democrats alike. All of our best citizens who witnessed, the affair will testify to the cor. rectness o this statement. T. F.

The Repub- . licans and gold Democrats of this county : enter on the last month of the campaign in thl3 county to-morrow with a better organization than has marked any of the past . tiii"i8ii!i iiu, nuiwHiisianuing mat tne ..combined forces of Populists and Demo . crats are their opponents, the outlook is as bright, if not brighter, than.it was two .years ago, when Madison county was, for the first time, taken out of the Democratic column by a sweeping victory that placed all the county offices in Republican control and which sent Charles L. Henrv to Congress, defeating Hon. W. D. Bynum. The past month has been one that has added to the brightness of the future in this county for Republicans. Many of those who were on the political fence haw come over bodily into the gold camps and quite a number who have been in the silver ranks are now with the Republicans in the light for "an nonesi aonar ana a cnance to earn it." In this county the existing conditions are different than in probably any other county in the State. SJnce the vote of 1S94 fully ,1.800 or 2.000 votes have been added to the ... poll. The total vote this year will not fall Khort of 15.000. Of the new voters it is safe iu say um j,uu or j.ouu are republicans and sound-money men. Most of thm a f skilled workmen, who consider the financial question the second one in prominence in this fight. Henry C. Johiuon in Hajicoek. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Iftd., Sept. 27.-Representative Henry U. Johnson has closed his campaign In Hancock county. He started with good meetings, but they grew better right along. His meeting at Fortville was the greatest political meeting held there in many years. The crowd was overwhel ming. At Warrington Friday afternoon he spoke at the racing park there, and by actual count there were 075 persons, nearly all of whom were voters, entered the grounds. Friday night he spoke at Gant's onpra hnusw in thi-i ritv tn ur anHicn.ii only limited by the capacity of the house. . which is near a thousand. Many went away unable, to secure admission. Mr. Johnson was escorted to the opera house by the Mc- , Kinley drum crops, the Old Soldiers' Mc Kinley Club, seventy-nve strong, and the jrlass rrorkers" organization. The old soldiers had seats on the stage. Satunlay afternoon a great demonstration was held at Charlottesville. The speaking, on account of the threatening weather, was held in the hall, which was handsomely decorated, and not half of the thousand people in attendance could gain admission. The speaker was placed, however, so that those outside could hear him very well. The Independent Band, of this city, furnished the music. There were large delegations present It-em Greenfield and Knightstown. probably 200 coming from that place. Mr. Johnson has made many personal friends and quite a number of voters for the party by his thorough, candid and sincere speeches on the political issues. Ileveritlfte at Vernon.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MORRISTOWN. Ind.. Sept. 27.-I ion. John S. Duncan spoke to one thousand people, mostly farmers, at Gwynneville, Shelby county, Saturday evening. His speech was fk-eatly appreciated and wag listened to with

closest attention and repeatedly and vigorously cheered. He completely and thoroughly answered Populist Robinson, who spoke there a short time before. This is Robinson's home township, though he is now living In Fountaintown, but the indications are he will not carry the usual Democratic vote here and will come nowhere near carrying the township. The crowd, that listened to Mr. Duncan, was twice as large as the one that came out to see Robinson when he was at Gwynneville a few days ago. The Arlington Band and the Morristown Quartet furnished music. Snlzer'n AVorlt In Bartholomew, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VOLUME; lrS, Ind., Sept. 27. Hon. Marcus R. Sulzer, Republican candidate for Congress, closed a week's campaign in this county at Hope last night. The crowd was so large that no hall in the place could have accommodated "half the people. He spoke In the public square to at least 1,500 people, and held the undivided attention of the audience throughout. At the close of his address he was loudly cheered. He has had the largest and most enthusiastic meetings ever given a Republican candidate in this county. The people, irrespective of political affiliations, are prais.ng Mr. Sulzer's speet lies and good social qualities, and from the impression he made he will undoubtedly carry this county by a handsome majority. Mr. Ketcham Speak to 3,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WARSAW, Ind., Sept. 27. Attorney-general Ketcham delivered a speech here yesterday afternoon to an audience of about three thousand people. The meeting was composed largely of farmers and was the most 'enthusiastic one held here this campaign. The great majority of the farmer? of Kosciusko county are all right for honest money, protection and reciprocity. The speaker was escorted from the Hotel Hayes to the public square by the McKinley and Hobart Wheelmen, the McKinley and Hobart Campaign Club, the Young Men's Republican Club and the Fourth Regiment Band. The Warsaw Glee Club furnished the music. (iardiner's Meeting at Mitchell. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MITCHELL, Ind., Sept. 27. Fully 2,000 people listened last nfght to an eloquent and patriotic appeal for the support of protection and sound money by Hon. W. R. Gardiner, of Washington. Judge Gardiner is well known all over the State, his name having been mentioned at different times in connection with the candidacy for Governor, and his excellent presentation of Republican principles elicited frequent cheers. One feature that added much to the enthusiasm of the meeting was the arrival of an old-time decorated campaign wagon which brought a glee club of eighty people from Orleans, Ind. Earlhaiu Student for Mx-Ivlnley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 27. Earlham college students of Republican propensities held a meeting the past week to make arrangements for a permanent organization. A committee on organization was appointed and they will report this week. The committee on membership has completed a poll of the student body and is pleased with the result. Out of eighty-nine students the various presidential candidates have the following support: McKinley. 66; Bryan, 8; Levering, 7; Bentley,' 6; Palmer, 2; one undecided. Hon. John C. Chaney'M MeetingM. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Sept. 27. Hon. John C. Chaney, of Sullivan, spent the past week speaking in Knox county. He has spoken at Bruceville, Monroe City, Bicknell, Sandborn, Ennison and Freelandsville. and has been greeted by big .crowds. The crowds increased each night as the news of his splendid address of the preceding night was circulated. Mr. Chaney is an eloquent and forcible speaker, and has done excellent work for the Republican cause in Knox county. Indiana Campaign ote. The Hon. W. S. Kenworthy, of Iowa, addressed the Republican chub at Williamsport last Friday night. His speech was replete with wit and pungent remarks. Mr. Kenworthy illustrated the effects of free silver on the producers and laborers of this country. - "IAN MflCmREN."

Author of the "Bonnie Brier IIumIi," a' He Appear to Americans. ; NEW YORK, Sept. 27. A broad-shouldered, deep-chested, well-set-up man, clad in most unclerlcal tweeds, head shapeiy and well put on, face clearly cut. with deep-set eyes, not wholly devoid of a cast, aquiline nose, good strong chin and the high cheekbones of a Gael that is the Rev. Dr. John Watson, of Liverpool, whom the world knows as "Ian MacLaren,' and whose name is redolent of the perfumes of the "bonnie brier bush." When he landed from the Germanic last week he was met at the pier by Major Pond, under whose auspices he is to deliver fifty-four lectures on literary subjects, besides the course of "Lyman Beeeher lectures" at Yale College. Dr. Watson is a man of the world, no less than a clergyman, as becomes the dominie of a fashionable Liverpool church. He was already full of well-bred enthusiasm over the prospects of his American tour when a reporter called on him. "I got my first inspiration," said he, "from a view of the statue of liberty in the harbor. Believe me, it moved me deeply. I have come here not merely to lecture, but to observe. My notion is that a man should take a long holiday every few years. Seven years ago I went to Egypt and studied the oldest of civilizations. Now I am here to observe the newest. "The prospect quickens me. for I deeply respect America and am deeply interested in it. I know many Americans, naturally, beca.use Liverpool is the most American of English cities. Many Am?ricans are members of my church and I have been gratified to find my books so widely circulated in this country: so I feel that I am-here in the house of my friends." Dr. Watson has a strong Scotch "burr" on his tongue, though he has lived in Liverpool for sixteen years. "The Scottish accent is mine of right." he said, "because I spent my boyhood in Scotland. I did not have to learn the dialect, because I was saturated with it from birth. My pen name, MacLaren, is my mother's maiden name, and Ian is only the Gaelic for Jonn." Of his books he said: "I write, as you may say, fiction with one hand, theology with the other. My theologrical works are two. of which the latest. i 'The Mind of the Master.' was published last May. I have no new fiction in hand except 'Kate Carnegie,' which is now running as a serial. It is like 'The Brier Bush' in that the scene is laid in the 'Glen' and some of the folk appear surh as Marget Howe, Drumseugh. Carmichaei, the Free Kirk minister, and Willum Maclure, the doctor. But Kate is a new typethe 'squire's daughter, and there is less dialect in the book." Dr. Watson does not ta'k of his own books alone. He was enthusiastic about Haroid Frederick's "Damnation of Theron Ware." This, he said, is regarded as the best book of the year on the other side. The best book this season by an Englishman he con. sidered to be Seaton Merrirhan's "The Sowers." Movements of Steamer. DOVER. Sept. 27.

MR. WATSON'S WARNING

GEORGIA'S CAXniDATB DIRECTS AXOTJIKR LETTER TO Mil. JOXES. He Tells the Popocrntie Chairman that Mr. Bryan Cannot Get the Full Populist Vote. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. Thomas Watson, the Populist candidate for Vice President, telegraphs to the World a review of the political situation, in which, in conclusion, he says: "Under present conditions Mr. Bryan cannot get the full Populist vote. He cannot get it Ivi Kansas or Colorado. He cannot get it in North Carolina or Nebraska. In the friendliest spirit I give Chairman Jones this warning. He will make the blunder of his life if he listens to the fusion leaders and believes that a full Populist vote can be had for Bryan with Sewall on the ticket. Populist voters are men who have educated themselves on political topics. They will not stultify themselves by voting against their convictions. They will not vote for a man who. if Mr. Bryan dies, will make us another President after the fashion of Grover Cleveland. They may not be able to break up the fusion deal, but they can stay at home. The contract made at St. Louis for a united DemocraticPopulist ticket should be carried out in good faith. Democratic managers should not expect to hold us to it when they ignore it themselves. "If McKinley is elected the responsibility will forever rest upon those managers who had it in their power to control by fair means two million votes and who lost them by violating the terms of the compact. The writer of this has stood loyally by Mr. Brypn throughout the campaign and will continue to do so, and it is out of a sincere desire to see him elected that he points out the weak place in our lines in time for it to be strengthened. Mr. Chairman Jones can do it, is under implied contract to do it, and should, for Mr. Bryan's sake, lose no time in doing it." Mr. Watson says that Mr. Bryan acted honorably in the negotiations with the Populists at the St. Louis convention in telegraphing Senator Jones that he would not accept a Populist nomination unless Mr. Sewall were also nominated, and adds: "Senator Jones concealed this telegram, allowed the Populists to remain in ignorance of Mr. Bryan's position and iermitted'the nomination of Bryan and Watson without protest. His silence, his failure to undeceive the Populists, operated as an injustice to them. They went forward and nominated Mr. Bryan in the belief that the Democrats would' meet then, on half-way grounds, withdraw Mr. Sewall and unite the silver forces of both parties by naming a representative of both on the national ticket. If the Democratic managers had recognized the necessary conditions to complete political union and ac-. cepted the compromise we offered, the fight would now be won. Instead of meeting the Populists half-way and making them feel a hearty interest in Democratic success, they did everything possible to dissatisfy, discourage and arouse the suspicions of the very men whose votes were essential to victory. Intent upon destroying Populism at the South and absorbing it at the West, the Democratic managers made the mistake of supposing that any deal they could arrange without leaders would be cheerfully supported by the rank and file. From the county tickets clear on up to the presidency the science of politics has been reduced to the good old business rule of 'how much have you got,' and 'what will you take.' It is hardly necessary to say that where the bargain counter rules the roost in this hilarious way principles are somewhat neglected and undervalued. "In States like Indiana and Illinois, where Populists are in the minority, they get a minority of the electors. In States like Kansas and Colorado, where the Populists are in a majority, they get no electors at all. In one State of this great and srloribus Union the fusion goes half the distance between Populists and Uepubiicans and the other half between Populists and Democrats. As a grave digger for Populism, fusion with Sewall on the ticket may as well be recognized as a distinct success. If not disturbed in his work, the digger will have the hole ready by the time the funeral procession arrives. "The menace that endangers Mr. Bryan's success to-day is the profound dissatisfaction which exists among the humble, honest, earnest Populists who have built up the People's party. This is not said in any threatening spirit and antagonism. Everywhere I have advised our people to stand loyally to the support of Mr. Bryan, though little credit is given me for having done so. No Democratic, paper has given me the slightest credit for refusing Republican fusion in Georgia and combating it in Texas. With one accord the Bryan and Sewall papers have given me nothing b'4 disparagement, misrepresentation and ritilcule. How much good they hoped to do Mr. Bryan by adopting this line of policy I cannoV see. "Ordinarily abuse heaped upon me might offend no one but the recipient, but that editor who cannot see that in this campaign insults to me are insults to the party, whose help Mr. Bryan must have, js a very blind editor. "I respectfully warn Mr. Chairman Jones of the danger Mr. Bryan s in. The Populist voters are dissatisfied and suspicious. They feel instinctively that the fusion policy which compells them to vote for Sewall Is the beginning of the end of the People's party. They feel -that the principles they love are being used as political merchandise, and that the Populist vote is being auctioned off to the highest bidder. They suspect that Populism has been bought and paid for, and is now being delivered to those who bought It. "Is the full Populist vote necessary to Mr. Bryan's election? If so. the sooner Mr. Jones realizes that it cannot be had under any agreement which compels the Populists to make a humiliating surrender of their principles in voting for Sewall electors the better it will be for our campaign." RATHER FAR-FETCHED. The Apple Crop Kemlndi a Writer of I nfortnnate Washerwomen. Boston Transcript. The Listener knows a grocer in the country who has for several days been carrying around on his wagor a peck of very nice apples which he has been trying to give away. He has found no one who will take them. Everybody has an abundance of good apples within reach; if any cottage is so poor that it hasn't a Porter on its own grounds, the people next door have already brought in so many nice apples that the grocer's proposed gift would merely be in the way. Under many trees, after the storm, one could hardly have thrust his finger between the wind-fallen apples to the ground. Most of these will lie there and rot although there are plenty of people in the cities who cannot afford to buy the apples they would like. There are, in certain no-license towns, many good women who sigh deeply as they look at the trees burdened with fruit. A good year for apples is a good year for hard cider, and a good year for hard cider is a bad one for the husbands of those hard-working women, and a worse one for their families. When there are no apples, and cider is scarce, the man may keep sober in the main, and even so far improve his habits that his poor wife, going out washing to help to feed and clothe tke family, takes new courage. But now! It will not be the cider alone, hut the drink that the cider will so remind the old man of that he will go and get it somehow. If there are angels in heaven, how far above all other suffering humans they must pity the thousands cf poor Irish washerwomen who toil early and late to support and educate the children of drunkards nay. to feed these drunkards themselves, and save them from the deserved fate that without the woman's shieldins: care would fall upon the wretches! Long t pitiful lives these women lead, leaving their babies at home in the care of other babies, and ploughing through wind and rain and snow to get the chance to do a cruel day's work: clinging pathetically to the worn shawl and bonnet.- in order to make the respectable appearance that the husband's daily disrepute before all the world onlymakes them the more anxious to maintain; guarding jealously the manners and reputation of their children, though they are constantly haunted by the fear, which often does not prove groundless, that their absence from home is exposing the children to physical and moral dangers; guarding as bravely as they can the pay they earn, and happy if some small remainder of It is left to them with which to buy little things that the children sorely need to Pak them ook as nice as other women's children. Woes enough these and yet if these were all! Blows they do not mind so much. A woman who can stand the life of a washerwoman can bear a eood manv

blows, though they may not like them any more than the delicate women would in whose damp cellars they toil; but there arc worse things than blows. And all the time how pathetically they hope for the man's reform; how careful they are to tell of him any good thing they may: A knowledge of a few such cases does not leave in one's soul much pity for the poor drunkard. When every excuse is made in his behalf when we are persuaded, if we are capable of such persuasion, that the man's inhibitory faculties are paralyzed, atrophied by the smell of liquor, so that the power to say "no" is a? completely neutralized then as if it did

not exist at all we still can only wonder J that the soer sight of this woman s living death does not call into existence in the man's heart a conscience at last which can master even the moral paralysis of liquor. SHOTS EXCHANGED. MilitiaMien at Leadville Attacked by Striking Miner. LEADVILLE, Col., Sept. 27. At 0:35 o'clock to-night General Brooks telephoned that an attack was In progress on the Carbonate Hill reserve of the Leadville Water Company and that shots were being exchanged oetween the militia and rioters. At 9:40 a lively fusillade began at the Bonn mine and was continued for ten minutes. The sounds resembled a number of shotguns, seemingly from one place, answered by rifleshots from, different poins near by. A few minutes later Lieutenant Verdeckberg telephoned from the Bonn air mine that four shots had been fired at a picket, who returned the fire and called for the. corporal of the guard. When the corporal ran out two shots were fired at him, and they were returned, after which a squad started in pursuit of the assailants. SHOT. TO DEATH. Colored Man Riddled with Bnllet on the Streets of n GeorRia Town. SPARTA, Ga., Sept. 27. Harris Boone, colored, was shot to deatu by a party of citizens at this place early Sunday morning. Harris had raised a disturbance, and when Town Marshal Bowen ordered him to desist, the negro shot the officer. Citizens enraged at the assassination of David Silver, a few hours before, by a negro, riddled Boone's body with bullets. Parties are scouring the country for the assassin of Silver. If caught he will be lynched. TWO FREIGHT WRECKS, And the Body of u Urnkrman Snpoaed to I3e I'ntler the Deliri. WASHINGTON, SeDt. 27. An extra freight train bound for Washington was wrecked on the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio this evening near Riverdale Park, eight miles from this city. Nine box c.irs were smashed and piled up in a heap and the other twelve were badly damaged. Brakeman W. I. Morgue,, of Baltimore, twenty-three years of age. and unmarried, is missing, and his body is believed to be under the debris.. Another freight wreck occurred on the Pennsylvania road between Baltimore and Washington to-day. On a grade near Sovereign five freight cars became detached from a train and rushed down the grade, where they were derailed and piled up in a heap. No casualties were reported, but traffic was delayed for some time. Another Serioua Wreck. MILTON, Pa., Sept. 27. A disastrous freight wreck occurred Saturday night on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, nine miles southeast of here. An empty engine and tender collided with a heavily laden coal train, throwing eleven coal cars off the track and burying engineer Mitchell, of the former, beneath the ruins. Fireman Kelly, who was on the same engine, jumped off, but was so badly injured that he died too. A man by the name of Burlew. who was riding on the train, was terribly bruised. TWe wreck, it is said, was due to disobedience of orders. A Democratic Powltlon. Philadelphia Record. An old-time, ali-the-time Democrat from Adams county asks th? Record how it can explain its apparent inconsistency, as a friend of a revenue tariff, in advising voters to support McKinley in preference to Bryan. The answer is easy: The Record prefers McKinley before Bryan because McKinley stands on a platform opposing the free coinage of silver at the ratio of lt to 1. It is a choice between a protectionist President pledged to the maintenance of the public credit and a populistic President pledged to partial repudiation of public and . private debt, to the subservience of the executive to mob dictation, to the overthrow of the independence of the judiciary, and to the abridgment of the right of contract. But the Record supports neither McKinley nor Bryan. It .ehould be known in Adams county, and in every other county, that there is a straight Democratic ticket in the field, and that the candidates stand on a straight revenue reform, soundmoney, old-fashjoned Democratic platform. Hurrah for Palmer and Buckner! Down with repudiation and repudiationists! In the West. Kansas City Journal. As a. matter of fact, the causes which are operating in the Eastern and middle States against Bryan and free silver are also working in the West and producing the same kind of results. There are thousands of Republicans in the silver States who can see no reason for abandoning their own party, which they know can be trusted, tor the wild and irresponsible aggregation following Bryan, which they know cannot be trusted. However much they may honestly believe in the free coinage of silver they do not believe In free trade or in the overturning of the Supreme Court or in Tillmanism or in anarchy, disgrace and ruin. Peterin Out. New Y'ork Special. j The pr t'i tious quartars in the Bartholdi Hotel rented by W. P. St. John, treasurer of the Bryan national committee, and paid for out of his own pocket, have been turned over to the State Demorratic committee excepting one obscure parlor, which St. John retains for his own use. This petering out of Popocratic splurging, following, as it does, the closing of the Washington literary bureau, is the final nail in the boom in the East started with such a blare of trumpets only a few short weeks ago. Tells the Story. Philadelphia Times (Dem.) An enthusiastic old-t'me Kentucky colonel who attended the Bryan reception at Lexington, and who had become greatly enthused by the mixture of Bryan and Bourbon inspir,' io" grasped Mr. Bryan by the hand with all the fervor of the most genciois Kentucky hospitality and said: "Joo!" Bryan, sah. by gad, sah. this was a grand demonstration, sah; altogether the grandest ever had in Lexington, sah, since Jumbo was exhibited." This tells the storv of Mr. Bryan's immense meetings. A North Dakota Graduate. La Moure Chronicle. The oruel newspapers are publishing the horrid story that a "sweet girl graduate" in a neighboring town read aji essay on physiology, in which she, said: "The human body is divided into three parts the head, the chist and the stummick. The head contains the eyes and brains, if any. The chist contains the lungs and a piece of the liver. The stummick is devoted to the bowels, of which there is five a, e, 1, o, u, and sometimes wr and y." The Two Cninpaigneri. Philadelphia Times (Dem.) Of the two plans of campaign. McKinley's is certainly the more dignified, and each is significant of the attitude of the candidate' and of the public attitude towards him. McKinley will be elected by no effort of his own. but rather by a spontaneous popular movement, ; while Bryan goes around stirring up noise and touting for votes, only to fail in the end. Never Before. I itisbi rg T n.-a A suffering people never realized the full benefits of the Sunday rest until William J. Bryan began talking six days in the week. Solid for McKinley.

IRON GATE CANAL OPEN

AVlGATIO 0 THE LOWER I)AXI BE XOW LESS HAZARIJOIS. Ceremonien Participated in hy Emperor of Austria and Kins, of Servla and Koumania. . LONDON. Sept. 2S. Dispatches from Orsova, Servia. say the formal ceremony of opening the Iron Gate canal to improve the navigation of the Danube took place today with much royal pomp. The Emperor of Austria, the King of Servia and the King of Roumania embarked on board a steamer at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The vessel was towed from the quay down the river amid the continuous firing of salutes and the cheers of thousands of people standing upon the banks of the river, which were lined with troops. At the entrance to the Iron Gate canal, about four miles from the city, the tug cast off its line and the steamer on which were the monarchs snapped the flower-laden cord across the mouth of the canal, thus formally opening the work. Ovations by the multitude were renewed as the imperial party returned to the station. The sovereigns then proceeded to Kerkulesbad, where there was a banquet in Cursalon. after which the royalties-bade each other farewell and departed. The towns were brilliantly illuminated at night. The Times correspondent at Orsova says: The ceremony has a significance not confined to its commercial aspect. On entering the canal Emperor Francis Joseph proposed a toast to the prosperity of the three peoples, dwelling on the event as symbolic of the community of interests and giving a powerful impulse to the development of international relations. The three monarchs drank the toast from golden goblets especially made to commemorate the occasion. The Roumanians had prepared a surprised in having mobilized a complete division of troops on their shore, who shouted, "Hurrah!" as one man. Emperor Francis Joseph has gone to Roumania, accompanied by his chief of general staff. It is generally believed that tne result of the visit will oe the conclusion ot a military convention. LOOKS WARLIKE. Italian Troop May Be Held in Stead ineMs for Work In Turkey. LONDON, Sept. 27. The Daily News's correspondent at Rome is assured that negotiations are pending between England and Italy with a view to the latter government holding in readiness a large body of troops to sail at a moment's notice for the Levant. The morning papers devote some attention to the sudden change in the attitude of the Russian press towards Great Britain. Of these the Bourse Gazette and the Novosti warn the government to beware of forcing England to join the dreibund, hinting that Germany is annoyed at England's aloofness from that alliance and is trying to sow seeds of discord between England and Russia. The newspapers make note of the fact that this change of face on the part of the Russian press is coincident with Lord Salisbury's arrival at Ballater for a conference with the Czar. The Paris correspondent of the Chronicle learns that M. Cambon, the Frence embassador at Constantinople, had a long interview with the Sultan yesterday, in the course of which he declared that the Western powers had resolved to insist that reforms which had already been granted in the Armenian provinces should be extended to the whole of the Turkish empire. The Chronicle's correspondent adds: "This is the first diplomatic move of France and is regarded as a final warning." The Times's Cairo correspondent believes that there is some truth in a native report that the Khedive is now making a tour of Europe incognito and that he has taken with him a scheme for Egyptian independence drafted by prominent native officials. "This anti-British intrigue," the Times's correspondent continues, "seems the more likely since the Khedive, while professing that the journey is nonpolitical, has had an interview with M. Hanotaux, the P"rench Minister of Foreign Affairs." ANTI-MASONIC CONGRESS. Catholics Will Form an Organization to FiKht the Secret Order. (Copyright, 1SS6. by the AFSocIated Press.) TRENT, Southern Tyrol. Sept. 20. The Anti-Masonic Congress, arrangements for which were made in Rome, where the centra.! executive committee of the anti-Freemasons has its headquarters, opened here to-day. The delegates were welcomed by the president of the central executive committee, who closed his speech by calling for cheers for the Pope and Emperor Francis Joseph. The cheers were heartily given. The members of this congress are divided into three classes honorary, active and those who sympathize with the movement. All three classes "must be absolutely obedient to the will of the Church of Rome and recognize the Pope as their head." The Prince Bishop of Trent, who presided over the opening of the congress, said that speeches could be made In any modern language. The repoVts of the proceedings, however, will be issued in French. The object of calling the congress is set? forth as being "to make known Xo all the unmeasurableness of the moral and material evil the church and society have suffered throughout Freemasonry and to ask an antidote in the form of a permanent anti-Freemason organization." The congress is largely attended and will be in session until Sept. 30. The Soudan Expedition. DON GO LA, Sept. 27.

HEROISM OF A FIREMAN. Spra.HK from a Flying Locomotive to Snve a Woman. NEW YORK, Sept. 2.'. Charles Wilson, a fireman on the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, brawly rescued a woman yesterday at the risk of his own life. A train on the Northern road was coming out of the Bergen tunnel, and a train on the New Jersey & New York road was approaching the tunnel, bound for the depot, when a woman was noticed standing on the track. Both trains were going at a fast rate. The woman seemed paralyzed from fright, and did not move from the track. Fireman Wilson Jumped out of the cab of the Northern train and fell in a heap on the track of the New Jersey & Northern. He was somewhat hurt, but not seriously, and quickly resuming his feet dragged the woman from out of the way in the niek of time. She had been picking coal on the track, and did not notice the approach of either train until both were. within a few yards of her. COFFINS PAID FOR. Many Healthy People Have Already Arranged Their Funerals. San Francisco Call. There are at least 200 people walking the streets of San Francisco, in good health and likely to live many years, who have already arranged the details of their funerals. They have selected the coffins in which they will be buried, and paid cash for the same, as well as for the burial plat, hearse, etc. Nearly every undertaker In the city has several contracts of this" kind, and all of them are made by people who are supposed to be in rational frames of mind. Age seems to cut no figure, for some of the contracts are signed by men in the prime of life, who are noted for their cheerfulness and good dispositions. Thev have simply provided for their funerals to assure themselves that they will have decent interment. The undertakers think it nothing out of the way, but look upon it as sensible forethought. And according to stories told it has proved so in many cases.. Men without families have drooped dead on the street, and had it not been lor their arrangements with the undertaker they would have been buried in the potter's field. Some people have made arrangements for the minutest details of their funerals, even to the advertisements in the newspapers. There are a few people who have not been content with selecting their coffins, but have had them sent to their homes. Such cases are rare, however. "Yes, I have a good many contracts of that kind," said undertaker Metzler, when speaking of the matter, "and in a great many cases they have proved to be good things. It is a sensible thing for anybody to do who has not a family to look after them when they are gone. "I have coffins in those cases there," said he, pointing, "that were contracted for at least six years ago, and paid for at the time. It may be six years or sixteen years before they are wanted, but when the owners need them they will be ready, and I will fulfill every part of the contract. It is not so long ago that I fulfilled a contract of this kind after I had had the contract several years. When the man made it he looked ready to die, and no doubt' thought he would live only a few months. In this case the casket was a fine one. and he paid cash for it. . He also made arrangements for the grave, hearse, carriages, shroud and every little detail. He left letters saying that I would be his undertaker, and, of course. I was notified at once, and did all I agreed to. "But there are cases where I have to find out about the person's death myself. I always keep watch of those events, of course, and as soon as I know of a case I have been paid for I go at once and attend to it. In more than one case I came as a surprise to poor relatives, who were almost crazy wondering how they were going to bury their dead. All kinds of people make these contracts rich and poor, sick and well. Some. think they are going to die soon, and some are preparing for a thing a long way off. Sometims both are right, and sometimes just the reverse happens. You -cannot tell anything about it. If a man is going to die on a certain day he is going to die. and if he isn't why he won't. That. I think, is the reason that many people wnt to be prepared for death when it does come." NO KISSING. Prince of Wales Does Not Like the German Form of Greet inR'. London Letter in New York Mail and Express. There will be very little kissing when the Emperor meets the English Princess. The Prince of Wales has been at pains to teach his various foreign relations that he likes to shake hands as an Englishman, and doesn't want any hugging, and it was particularly noticed at (.'owes last year that while the Emperor William, who is a great kisser in his way, bestowed that embrace on his uncle, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha. he only shook hands with his uncle, the Prince of Wales. The kissing between the Czar and the Austrian Emperor the oilier day must have been almost as "clinging" as the Ola Nethersolc "Carmen" osculation. The two Emperors simply showered kisses on each other's lips, according to the newspaper correspondent, and renewed the operation directly the guard Of lienor had been inspected. While I am on the subject of kissing, you will be perhaps interested in hearing that two American ladies who were at the last garden party at Buckingham palace considerably astonished the Princess of Wales by kissing the daintily gloved hand which her Royal Highness extended toward them. Those ladies should have made a curtsey and then touched the tips of the rrincess"s fingers with their own. On the continent hand kissing seems to be the usual salutation in all ranks of society. Servants in Russia are expected" to kiss the hands of their master and mistress morning and evening, and it is from" that custom that the etiquette of hand kissing ordains that only the left hand must be kissed in the. case of a lady by men of her own rank; her right hand being reserved for inferiors and dependents. The Kings of Italy and Belgium and the King of Denmark are gradually abolishing the kissing of hands, as far as their royal selves are concerned, but the Emperors of Russia and Austria still preserve the custom. The Kings of Roumania. Servia and Sweden are expected to shake hands with their subjtcts, in accordance with the constitution of their government, and the same would apply to the ruler of Holland, were the sovereign of the male sex. The little King of Spain has quite acquired the art of extending his tiny hand for the salute of his courtiers, but then he is still almost a baby. In England to "kiss hands" on appointment to office has beeomp quite an official term, but then her Majesty has reigned so many years, and she is a woman. All the ministers, embassadors and great officers of State make a special journey to wherever her Majesty happens to be staying, especially to kiss the royal hand as a confirmation of their receiving and accepting office, and it is a necessary confirmation. Bishops perform the same ceremony, and peers and peeresses on inheriting or acquiring their rank as such, pay similar homage to her Majesty. It is a question whether the kissing of hands will remain a matter of legal observance when a King succeeds to the English throne. At a drawing room only subjects of her Majesty kiss her hand as they pass the throne. Foreigners only bow. When the Queen leaves the apartment her place is taken by the Princess of Wales or one of the other ladies of the blood royal." but curtesies take the place then of hand kissing. WHERE THE "MONEY POWER" IS. Incidents Shonlng that It Rests In the Wujie Earners. An illuminating glimpse into the constituents or "the money power is afforded by an analysis of the depositors in a sayings bank of Dubuque. Ia.. which has .,- 614 accounts, representing HOdO.OOO. These 7.ll persons are classified a fouows: Mechanics and laborers, 5.120; farmers. 1.207; teachers and professional men. '.:;2; administrators and executors. 4; capitalists. 5i. Still another glimpse is furnished in this statement by an exceptionally well-informed man of Franklin cour.ty. Massachusetts, a county composed almost entirely of small farming towns, in a rcfent address as to the -'plutocrats" of that region who have loaned money on Western mortgages: "From data that I have obtaln-tt. I believe that not less than $3.(K0,(K)0 of Franklin county money is to-duy invested in Western farm mortgages and that two-thirds of this belongs to farmers now in active life." With these revelations as to the character of "the money power" should te put an incident which illustrates that class of farmers' in the West who are not deluded as to the source of their troubles and who have no notion of trying to cheat their creditors out of half that they owe them. A savings bank In Windham county, Vermont, holds a small mortgage on a farm in Kansas the money that went West being very likely the savings of a farmer In the Green Mountain State. The Western farmer recently ent the six montha' Interest due on his loan and added In a postscript that he "did intend to send some principal on this pay day. but the free sllverites are ralsinff the very devil with.

business here in Kansas, and for a fact all over the West. nd prices for all 'arm products are ruinous." The honest farmer in the State that ha:- suffered mot of any hi Ihe Union from Populism closed by saying: "I fenr tildes the East and Middle States have their n"nscs and 'I-rt McKinley we will see still worse." He is doubtless reassured since he got the news of the Vermont and Maine elections.

THE NATIONAL GAME. Prexltleiit 1 ounx Says Interest In Ilasehnll Is Spreading. WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. President Nick Young, of the National Baseball league, in answer to questions, said to-day that never before In the history of tile g ime ha the gencrai Interest lu baseball nom us great as during the season just closing. The interest, he says, is rapidly spreading all over the country, and, while steadily growing in the big cities, has Increased so in the smaller titles and towns that tho attendance, at minor league games far exceeds previous years. Hut for the fact of this being a presidential year the crowds wculd have been even larger. The National League. Mr. Young-said, is in good shape, for a bright and successful start in tho spring, and this is also true of the minor leagues, and he knew of nothing that could prevent the year 17 from being a very prosperous one for baseball. Thu contract season closes Oct. 1; then there are three open dates after the schedule season which will be utilized in playing postponed same. The Baltimore and Cleveland clubs will play three games for the Temple cup at Baltimore next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All of the clubs had done well financially during the season. Mr. Young said. The greatest falling off in patronage was probably in Philadelphia, and yet th attendance there was very large. The changes in the personnel of the clubs. Mr. Young thought, would be comparatively few and unimportant. Washington would make only one change, as far us he knew. Tannehill, of Richmond, Va., was to-day purchased by Pittsburg for next year, Philadelphia has purchased George Carney of the Syracuse team and also Samuel Gil len. of Detroit. The next contract season will begin April 1 and end Oct. 1.1, the chainpionship games beginning about May 1 and ending Oct. 1. Reds Did Not Piny. CINCINNATI. Sept. 27.-The Reds had two games billed to-day with Chicago. Boll were postponed on account of rain. GIVE IP THE EAST. CIosiiiHr, of the Ilryun Heitdq uiirtera .Means .lust That. . Washington Special. . The final closing of . branch headquarters here means a formal abandonment of tlm entire East, and logically, a quieting of the Kryanite claims regarding this section of the country. Mr. Richardson, who was first placed in charge, was called to Chicago, and his successor. Mr. Howell. oor. left Washington to take part in the Georgia campaign, turning the kevs over to Frank Morgan, a delegate to the Chicago convention, who had helped turn John R. McLean's support over to Bryan. Mr. Morgan is an aggressive young man, but his principal duty was listening to the long-winded renorts of ihe visiting politicians fram Maryland and North Carolina, it is just as profitable to have these startling predictions sent in writing to Chicago, and so the office has been closed, and Mr. Morgan has gone over to the congressional headquarters to help Senator Faulkner. The history of the Washington headquarters is interesting. Chairman Jones dogmatically urged that the campaign should be run from this point: here was the storehouse of facts with which to refute the claims of his ooponehts. the local pres here was bcl'.eved to be much more friendly than in Chicago, and Jones could live ia his own house, and Gorman could come down daily from Laurel. Md. These and other arguments fully satisfied the national committee, but candidate Bryan Insisted that the headquarters should go to Chicago, though he consented to humor the old fogies of his party by permitting the establishment of a branch headquarters here. The branch started in aggressively, but has come to an untimely end. Ilryun nnd New York. Washington Special. , From various points along Mr. Bryan's line of march reports come that he is full of violent indignation over the New York situation and that he thinks he is being sold out In every quarter. It was reported this afternoon at Democratic headquarters here that under Bryan's iersonal spurring Chairman Jones would issue a pronunciamento reading Mr. Thacher off the head of the ticket in New York and demanding a new nomination. Mr. Bryan has denounced the Thacher letter renudiating the silver plank in the Buffalo nlutform as "monstrous" and "unpardonable." Chairman Jones has been unfortunate thus far In being snubbed and turned down whenever Iia has undertaken to mix Into ltv-al affairs in any State and it is known that he has no appetite for a New York experience of tin same sort. However, he may muster sutficient courage to go ahead in the carrylug out of the expressed desire of the presidential candidate. Wholly incapable of appreciating the overwhelming weight of New York sentiment against free silver, Mr. Bryan has insisted up to this very hour that he could carry New York, and feeling thus, there is some excuse for his belief that he has been betrayed. Mr. Bryan will be in New York to-morrow and Democratic complications in that State will come to a climax then, no doubt. Northern Settlers lu GeornJa. Washington Post. "Down In Irwin county. In southwest Georgia, adjoining the county m which I live, is a big colony of Northern people." said Mr. M. I. Welch to a Post man at the National. "A big syndicnte bought a larg tract of land and by judicious management contrived to get up a boom that brought in hundreds of families from Illinois. Michigan. Ohip and other Northwestern States. The great bulk of these Immigrants are well pleased with their adopted homes and many more of their neighbors and relatives arc coming to Join them iu the South. "They have established a town named Fitzgerald, that is scarcely more than a year old. and already boasts of a population of 8,0(i0, with a $-10,000 modern hotel and other up-to-date features. The country round about is very productive, and is especially well suited to fruit growing. The native citizens heartily welcome this Influx from the North, for they realize that immigration has long been the chief need of the Southern States." Mr. Hearst's "Cry Against Money." NewYork Mail and Express. "For years." says Mr. Hearst's able and enterprising Journak "there has gone up in this Renubllc an earnest and bitter cry against the growing power of money." On the next page Mr. Hearst explains how h has lately converted some $7,W0,Ok) worth of his mining property into ready cash in order to have it handy. In 2I.r. Hearst's immediate neighborhood the aforesaid tamest and bitter cry against the growing power of money appears to be set to an accompaniment of jingling gold. AVhnt His Wife Heard. Truth.
