The- came care is shown in the light end color effects and posings and the pictures are' many of them just as shown last reason. Several new ones have been added to the list, however, and they are fiuly up to the Wilbur standard. These picture follow the opera and occupy about thirty minutes. A little child called "Little I)ella" is posed beautifully, several times. She mukes a charming picture as the "Moon Fahy" and again as "Little Fuck." As "Morning" she is also ar. exquisite picture. There was vnuch admiration expressed yesterday (luring the showing of the pictures. They seemed tt arnttya fiillv n miifh anld lalanm a a k-hfn f 1 r-t . seen here. They are generally considered the best ever shown In this city. New pictures will be added during the week. Among the most artistic shown yesterday were "Venus and Tannbauser" and "The Sturm."

To-day "Fra Diavolo" will be given both matinee and night. Jt Is one of the best of the week and K. A. Clark Is heard to good advantage in it. 'To-morrow "Martha" will be sung'.

' Sam Jack's "Orange Blossoms" company will appear the latter half of the week and next week the singe will be held by Hyde's comedians and Ileiene Mora Hon Pattl Learned to Sins. Adelina Patti's . voice Is the wonder of the present generation. At an are when most public singers are memories of the pust Pattl is still on the stage, and her voice is as great and beautiful as well it is great and beautiful for a woman who Is nearly sixty years old. The preservation of her voice, says a writer in the New York . Telegram, is the most marvelous thing about Tattl's career. It Is done, not through any special natural gift, but by artificial means, ir one may call artificial the following out of a method bnsed upon nature and science. The anie means employed to cultivate her Voice have been and are used for its preservation. In training her voice nothing was left to chance, nnd so, when once made perfect, not Chance but method was trusted for preservation. Mr. J. N. I'attison, H veteran pianist and teacher, told me what these means were. Maurice Strakosch was the man who made Pattl. -The lessons which he gave her he still practices. "Ftrakofch came to this country," said Mr. I'attison, "after he had quarreled with Pattl over her marriage with the Marquis de Caux. I met him in London, One day he said to me here: I at III have the lesions which have made Patti the great singer she is. They are in an old trunk el the hotel. If they are any good to you you may have them.' I was pleased to get, them as seuvenlrs, if for nothing lse. When 1 looked evar them I was astonished at their simplicity. And yet it was a system the like of which I had uever seen -before. The basis of the method is exactly what I have always been preaching rather do- little, but that little systematically, than try to jo too much. "Singers come and go. After two or three seasons' hard work their voice is gone. Why? Hecause they did not have the right training. No man can become pre-eminent in any class of athletics without proper training, or maintain hia superiority without that particular daily exerclce which nave him his pre-eminence. The same Is true In the field of voice culture. Pattl told me how she took thene exercises." While be spoke Mr. I'attison produced the "lesrsuns." .They are scraps of musio paper, numbered "first day" and so on. There are fifty of them. Twenty of them are In common time and in the -.atural key.

Twelfth day The same, but two b-wtta to a bar S Thirteenth day Thirds and fourjns, two beats

to a bar. This is the first exercise In the series which is repeated more than twice. The vocalist sings it three times. Fourteenth day Thirds and . fourths, one beat to each note and repeat four times. Fifteenth day The same In quavers. Sixteenth day The same in semiquavers. Seventeenth day In triplets. Eighteenth day The chromatic scale is begun. Nineteenth day Chromate scale, two notes to a bar. Twentieth day Ditto, but four notes to a bar. On the twenty-first day the singer begins with modulation, and the remaining lessons up to the fiftieth and last are variations of the natural key. For th first five days she sings the lessons twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon. Thhe sixth lesson she sings only twice once in the morning and once In the evening. On the third day, according to the system of vocal gymnastics, she ventures upon a repetition three times in the morning and three times in the arternoon. When the fifty days hiive been run through the singer then presumes that the voice has been overtrained, although, as a matter of course, it is noi, but is in perfect "health and strength," and she returns to No. 1. The first day's lessons bear no comparison with the fiftieth day's lecson. for the latter is a display of all the arts and graces of the trained vocalist; but the artist begins all over again. "Doing this much, no more, no less," said Mr. Pattlson, "has made Mme. Pattl the wonder of the age as a voice retainer. 1 never knew how she managed to maintain her splendid voice until I studied thl3 system and tried it with others. Pattl once told me that when she had to sing at night on the stage she would take that first day's exercise for the sole purpose of finding out if all her notes were in good condition. You know we all don't always walk as well, eat as well, sleep as well or talk as well, and a singer is not always at his or her best. "Patti said If she found one note in her voice not up to Its-standard rhe devoted all her time to practicing that note and making it as good as the others. "It is by this method that she is able to go through most difficult operatic roles without a single strain or blemish. Look at other singers aye, those who have great names. At a concert they sing a song or two to perfection. But when some of them go on the stage after the first act their voice is gone; they cannot keep the key. The reason Is they have not been properly trained. The great trouble is they have had too much practice. You cannot use your voice all day. and expect it to be fresh and In tune at night. "I look over the books and I see nothing but voice breakers. The reason Americans lose tneir voices is that they do not practice correctly. We have to-day beautiful voices like Melha's and Scalchi's, but it is yet to be seen whether they can sing as long as Pattl and be as good at the end. If they do, then they have practiced correctly. . , ; - "Pattl soon learned that If the voice is not formed according to correct principles the organ can never be properly used and its quality Is permanently impaired. The slightest forcing disturbs or obstructs action. At first the effect is not felt, but very soon the muscles become relaxed and their flexible powers are lost. The voice becomes harsh, and the sounds are more and more Imperfect, until what might have been its natural character is altogether lost. That was Patti's theory." ? , Female H nut rein Stranded.

CITY NEWS NOTES. The Woman's Home Missionary Society of Hall-place Church will meet this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, corner of Senate avenue and Ninth street, with Mrs. Ditman. The thrifty burglar who is operating so successfully in this city made an attempt last night to enter Rall.sback's grocery, at the corner of St. Clair and Illinois streets. He broke a side door open, but attracted the attention of some jeople in the drug store on the opposite coiner and was frightened away. f Arm Fractured by a. Blow. Owing to an accident yesterday afterncfon Frank Nuelly, a car repairer employed on the repair tracks at the Big Four hops at Brlghtwood.-had the bone In his left forearm fractured. He and an assistant were trying to remove the continuous rod which connects the two drawbars on u bar -by sledging. Mr. Nuelly hart noM of the ro to steady it when his assistant, who was swinging the sledge, missed the rod and struck Nuelly upon the arm, thus fracturtng the bone. Small Fires Yesterday. Yesterday morning the tire, department was Called to 3S9 Bellefontaine street. An overheated stove In the residence occupied by E. P. Kelly caused a slight damage. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a gasoline explosion at 124 West North street caused a serious blaze, which was communicated to the house adjoining on the east. The rear part of the double house at 122 and 124 was badly damaged. Schnnll fc Co. In w Quarters. Schnull & Co., the wholesale grocers who were burned out in the disastrous lire in the wholesale district last winter, have moved into their, new building. 62 to 6S South Meridian street. The new building, a modem . five-story structure, is built on the site of the old building. An entirely new stock has been purchased and the firm is preparing to do business on a larger scale than ever before. Fell Off the Car. As a Blake-street car whs rounding the turn at Washington and West streets about 8 o'clock last night Willard Burns, aged thirteen, living at 252 Blake street, jumped of. missed his footing and fell. He sustained a few minor cuts about the head and was somewhat bruised, but was not seriously injured. He was attended by Dr. Eisenbeiss. Harrison's Speeches. Washington Post. In Mr. Harrison the cause of sound money now receives a potent and impressive ally. There can be no doubt as to his sincerity, as to his motives, his patriotism, or his intelligence. He is a man whom every one respects, in whose candor and integrity all repose implicit faith. He has never wandered from his avowed principles, he has never made promotion and emolument a condition of his party service. He is a statesman of clear head, of calm judgment, and of profound and varied erudition. He loves hia country with an immeasurable love. His pride in the Union and its flag is a passion without bounds. That such a man. speaking to his neighbors, to his fellow-soldiers and his fellow-citizens, will speak with force and irresistible effect it is hardlv necessary to assert. He appears at a critical rn. ment, in an mergency when the tide may turn either way upon some sudden and unlooked-for provocation, and for the cause of sound money no stronger or more potent accessory could have been brought to bear. The Httle spouters have had their day. They have passed and left no trace behind. Men have been in too serious a mood to sway or hesitate beneath the imponderable touch of soreheads, mercenaries, and makers of mere phrases. But Benjamin Harrison Is a man of strength, and Indiana wjll feel him from center to circumference. TO SAVE DOCTORS' BILLS Use "Garland" Stoves and Ranges.

0FFUT FOR SOUND MONEY

ANOTHER mOMIXBXT DEMOCRAT DECLARES HIMSELF. Will Xqt Support Bryan Ex-llepre-entatlve Laitgstaff and William E. English Are Also Off. Two more sound-money Democrats of some prominence came out In letters yesterday breaking away from Bryan and the Chicago platform. One of them. Judge Charles G. Offut, of Greenfield, writes a letter of some length to Sterling R. Holt, in which he gives able reason why he places country above party and. hopes for the defeat of Bryan. William Langstaff is an ex-member of the Legislature and has long been active in the Democratic affairs of Marion county. Yesterday he issued an address to his friends, declaring that he endeavored to remain with the organization until it was practically swallowed up by the Populists, but he can no longer act with them. Judge Off ut's letter is as follows: "The gravity of the political situation cannot well be overestimated. I firmly believe that we are rapidly approaching a crisis that will test the stability and wisdom of our form of government, and the strong, thinking men of the Democratic party are to be congratulated on the patriotic stand they are taking. It is especially gratifying that in this State such able and trusted leaders of tne party as the Hon. S. P. SJJfeerin, ex-Congressman Cooper and yourself, without regard to now it may affect you personally or poitically, have sounded a note of warning that will ring, not only through Indiana, but the whole country, as a bugle call to duty. I ira with you, heart and soul. , "The Chicago platform is not a Democratic platform; nothing like it ever emanated from a Democratic convention before. It is not only un-Democratic, but it is un-American. It is full of the rankest and moat dangerous heresies. In its ast analysis it is an attack upon property and the holders of property, an assault upon the wages of the laborer and the pension of the soldier. It aims at the repudiation of both public and private indebtedness. It is full of paternalism, and ieeks to inculcate the doctrine that the government must take care of and support the people, instead of the people taking care of and supporting the government. Its financial vagaries are based jpon the absurd and ridiculous idea that the government can create values by law. DEMOCRACY FOR SOUND MONEY. "The Democratic party has always been In favor of a sound and stable currency, whatever its character, whether comiDosed of gold, silver or paper. This idea f coining the two metals at a fixed ratio bearing no relation whatever to the com.nercial or market value of the same, is not jnly novel, but it is absolutely new in. the world's history, and the history of metallbj coinage the world over teaches that it annot be successfully accomplished. If you undervalue one of the metals it will instantly leave the channels of commerce And trade. This has been demonstrated igain and. again. The ratio between tht wo metals Is now about 32 to 1. and yethis visionary platform demands that they shall be coined at the ratio of 16 to 1 thai s to say, 50 cents' worth of silver coined nto a dollar shall pass for 100 cents in he payment of all debts, public and prlate. A more preposterous and dishonest proposition could not well be conceived or. If the fiat of the government can increase the value of shver bullion onehalf, why not go the 'whole hog' and by this omnipotent 'fiat make the silver dollar the equal of the gold dollar, and let the ratio, be 1 to 1. It would certainly make the silver dollar smaller and mort;onvenient to handle. The one proposition 's no more senseless and absurd than the ;ther, the difference being enly In degree. "The Democratic party has not only been the champion of a sound and stable :urrency, every dollar of which shall be Miual in value, and is composed of gold, silver and paper, convertible at any time, the one into the other, without nss to the holder or the government, . but It is now, and ever has been in favor of law and order, and any platform, of any party, that lonies to the government the right of seit preservation, the right to enforce its own aws and protect its own property on any nd every foot of American soil, and thai, :oo. without asking leave of an Altgeld or v Tiliman, is. so foreign to the idea and 'cachings of both patriotism and Democacy that no Democrat 'vho believes in thtprinciples of the party as established by Jefferson and practiced by Jackson, Tllden ind Cleveland, is bound to support it. OUTRAGE ON CARLISLE. "This platform and the teachings of ita candidate have found fitting and necessary climax in the outrageous attack upon the Hon. John G. Carlisle, the great Secretary of th3 Treasury, at Covington. Ky the other night. It was an attempt to throttle free speech and inaugurate mob rule. What else could follow the labored and persistent efforts of Mr. Bryan to array one class of the people against another in his perambulations up and down the .country in search of votes? "Can it be possible that a man can be elected to the high office of President upon a platform th.it hxsn't even the elements of common honesty in it? That Is opposed to the enforcement of law; that believes our highest court shall be made the football of politics, reorganized, its ..teiuunoKiM added to or duuinisneu. to suit the whims of the party that may happen to be in power? If this be so, then we are poor as a people, Indeed. "But it is said that Mr. Bryan Is the regularly nominated candidate of the party, and therefore Democrats are bound to support him, nolens volens, notwithstanding the p'.atform. Well, 1 confess I was disposed to take this view of the matter myself. I hive been a Democrat from my youth up; nave besri honored by the party; have sat at its council tables and assisted in fighting its battles in many a hardfcught campaign I am a Democrat now, cf the Jeffcrson-Jackson-Tilden-Hendrlcks-and-Cleveland school. I recognize the right of the majority to rule, and, notwithstanding the platfotrr. was and is utterly obnoxious to me. opposed to all my ideas of true Democracy, still I made up my mind to supoort the candidacy of Mr. Bryan upon the grounds of 'regularity,' nnd so expressed myself at different times. But even that poor prop has been taken away, and now I haven't even the poor excuse of regu'arlty to sustain and support me in casting a vote which my judgment, not only now. but in all after time, would condemn; and so I have concluded, whatever the future has In store for me, personally or politically, to maintain ray own self-respect and let my ballot execute a freernan's wil PROP OF REGULARITY BROKEN. "With you. Mr. Holt, I believe that the unwarranted and -unprecedented action of the State committee In allowing the PopuMsts to compel the dropping of five Democratic electors, and in their stead the placing on the ticket of five Populist electors absolves all Democrats from supporting Mr. Bryan, and especially all those who, like myself, consented to support him solely upon the ground of 'regularity. Mr. Bryan has repeatedly said that he did not want the support of any man who does not stand on the Chicago platform with his heart and soul. It Is a matter of history that he voted for Weaver, the Populist candidate, for President four years ago. Two years ago he was the Populist candidate for United States Senator in Nebraska, and General Weaven himself said in putting Mr. Bryan in nomination at the Populist convention at St. Louis: 'He is of us; he is one of us'.' and Marion Butler chairman of the national Populist commiti tee, in a recent address issued to the members of that party, says: 'We have not become Democrats, but the Democrats have In the broad sense of the word, become "In view of these facts. Mr. Bryan does well not to insist upon Democrats voting for him on the plea that either he or his Populist electors are 'regular. With great respect, 1 am, very tru.y. your friend. "CHARLES G. OFFUT." MR. LANGSTAFF" S LETTER. Mr. Langstaff issued the following letter to Democrats: 'This may be a little surprise to some of my friends to find in me a change of heart at this late day, as I have already taken some part In the Bryan campaign believing the Democratic party was honest in accepting the new doctrine in the Chicago platform, that of free and unlimited co'nage at the ratio of 16 to 1. While I was not altogether persuaded In my own mind that it wa good Democratic doctrine. I thought it better to stay with the party. But to my astonishment I soon found a fusion between the Democrats and Populists, and that after th Democrats had

made their regular national and State tickets five of our best statesmen, who had been regularly nominated as electors on our ticket, had been taken down to' give place to five of Tom . Watson's Populist electors. Then coming around to our county for Representatives, the Populists demanded two more Populists to be put on our ticket, which was granted them. The Populists knew that they could not elect a ticket in Marion county n twenty years without the aid of the Republican or Democratic party. All this I was willing to accept, but I picked up the Sentinel this morning and found the Populist national committee's address to the people of the United States, which reads as follows. " 'Brethern, some of you fear that this campaign will destroy the People's party. We have no such apprehension. Its principles are all right, and. after being right, they are immortal. - In four years they have taken possession of the Democratic party, and on Nov. 3 they will take possession of the Nation. - In 1892 we had but 1.000.000 voters. On Nov. 3, 1896, we shall have a majority of the whole country. We have not become Democrats, but the Democrats have, in a broad sense of the word, become Populists. ... "This is the straw that has broken the camel's back with me; lp think that I have been a Democrat all my life, and felt proud of its name and Its teachings, and now to say that I shall be compelled to vote for the Populist nominee is more than I can stand. I would rather g.o down in an honorable defeat than to be under any obligations to a party of men who never did vote the Democratic ticket, nor never will, except it is to their Interest to do so. "Then there is another thing. In all of Mr, Bryan's speeches. , and 1 have read them all. he has never told the workingman how he will be benefited by the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. For instance. I am employed by the year on a salary the purchasing power of the dollar falls below the gold standard and everything that I have to buy becomes higher; how am I to get my wages raised to the full amount It was before? Now, this will certainly brine; hard times to myself and family, and all other worklngmen of the same class. . "Then If hard times come, do not blame your employer for it. for you worklngmen who vote for Bryau are to blame for the whole. I am in favor of silver all we can get but I want the government to stand behind it. and then we shall always have a good silver dollar. I believe ours Is the best money system In the world, and should be left alone as It Is. I know our workingmen are suffering for want of work, and men ought to be employed who are willing to work. I am satisfied after the election some means will be adopted to give employment to all who want to work, and my advice to all Democratic worklngmen wTho feel as I do is to vote for Palmer and Buck-ner."

A BOLT AT ACTOX. William A. Anderson, a Prominent Democrat, Out for Sound Money. . William A. Anderson, a life-long Democrat and one of the best -known farmers living in the vicinity of Acton, publicly announced last night that he cannot support Bryan and his Popullstlc platform. The announcement was made at a Republican rally in the Acton town hall, where Mr. Anderson presided over a meeting, at which addresses were made by S. H. Spooner. candidate for the Legislature, and F. E. Matson, of Indianapolis. Mr. Anderson has been one of the most prominent farmers in his neighborhood for thirty years. He has frequently taken the stump in favor of the Democratic party. He is regarded as a prudent and conservative man and wields a substantial influence. Mr. Anderson spoke briefly, but to the point, and he was heartily applauded, many Democrats in the audience approving Mr. Anderson's remarks as heartily as the Republicans. In forcible language Mr. Anderson told why he cannot support the Chicago platform and nominees. The platform he regards as revolutionary, antagonistic to Democratic principles, and the policy outlined as tending to plunge the -country into financial disaster. Mr. Anderson said that he' intends to vote for Palmer, personally, but as he realizes Palmer and Buckner cannot be elected he is working for the Republican candidates. He intends to vote the Republican State and county tickets.. The town hall was crowded last nlghi, and many persons who drove in from other villages were unable to get into the building. Between eight hundred and a thousand persons were at the rally k.st night. Sv. Kv FXGLISyl IS OFF. Denounces the Populist Deal as Very Cowardly. The deal with ' the Populists is said to have shaken the faith of W. E. English also. Mr. English is one of the numerous Democratic leaders who was for sound money at the start, but gave in after the convention at Chicago, to which he was a delegate. He has been in New York a.!: through the campaign and last week Chairman Martin wired-him to know when he would be home and ready t take off his coat for BryHn. r English Is reported to have sent the following reply: "Your . telegrams received. Did not answer previous letter, as I expected an earlier return to Indianapolis. Will return latter part of the coming week, when. I will see you In person. "However, I do; not wish to be understood as in any way approving the recent action of the committee in placing five Populists on the Democratic electoral ticket, as I regard.it as an irregular and unauthorized proceeding and a cowardly and distasteful, abandonment of Democracy." - i POPS ADMIT DEFEAT. Leadern at Washlnston . Rcgrard Bryan's Last Trip am a Failure. Washington Special in Chicago Post. . There-is utter demoralization at the Popocratic headquarters in this city. There is inside information , of the most reliable kind that in their private conferences the" loaders admit they are already defeated. The advices that they have received from the middle West are discouraging in the extreme. It was supposed that Mr. Bryan would be able to make a profound impression on the' wavering voters of Ohio. Indiana. Michigan; and Illinois during his last whirlwind "scorching" expedition, but it is now admitted, -In the confidences of their private caucuses at headquarters, that he has made a failure of it, and that sentiment, instead of changing in his favor, has set in stronger than ever against him. A confidential friend of Chairman Faulkner, of the Democratic congressional committee, said this afternoon: "The last few days of the Bryan trip have been a severe disappointment to us. He appears to have gone up against the raw edge of everything.. His first tour was a halycon period, but this last flying trip has developed the fact that- he is in absolute disfavor everywhere. It would have been better for Mr. Bryan if his strength had given out two weeks ago. Every day he keeps himself in the middle of the stage makes it all the worse for him." This story of Popocratic demoralization Is the absolute, "cold, unvarnished truth. From the highest; to the lowest. Bryan's defeat is now admitted at headquarters, in the private conversation of the people who assemble there for1 business and consultation. To the public and newspaper men they present as brave a front as possible; but among themselves they do not attempt to conceal the fact that they are whipped. They feel that thf Ir chief ground for hope, which was based on the theory that the wage earners are with them unanimously, is untenable. That was the keystone to their arch of expectation. The facts which have come to them during the last few days prove that the workingmen who attached themselves to the McKinley party were and are in earnest, and are not masquerading. Take away that theory and there is absolutely nothing left of the Bryan campaign. It was upon the theory that the workingmen were engaged in a wholesale scheme of deception that the Bryanites built their hope of success. For 33 r. Cleveland's Friends. Logansport Journal. An incident of .Bryan day here has just come to the ear of the public.

Results of Currency Contraction After the War of 1S12. L. L. Hamilton, secretary of the National Business Men's League, has prepared a pamphlet full of important facts showing that the farmer will suffer under free silver. He proves conclusively that the same results will follow free, coinage as followed the war of 1812, when a sudden contraction of the currency in 1817, caused a series of panics in which farmers lost their farms and wheat fell from $2 a bushel to 50 cents. He proceeds upon the assumption that the first result of free silver coinage will be a sudden contraction of the currency by $600,000,000 of gold ceasing to be money. As the better money has always disappeared when the cheaper and inferior is made the basis, so would gold disappear after the adoption of free silver coinage. Mr. Hamilton will speak during the week as follows: Tuesday, New Castle, In the, afternoon". ' Connersvllle, In the evening. Wednesday, Kokomo, 3:30 p. m. ; Frankfort in the evening. Thursday, Noblesvllle. Friday, Tipton. Saturday. Lebanon, 1:30 p. m.; Lafayette in the evening. Mr. Hamilton will have with him a large number of pamphlets issued by the Business Men's League for distribution. No more important pamphlet has been issued than this which Mr. Hamilton has brought into Indiana, His addresses will be made up from the facts which this pamphlet of seventy-five pages contains. DECLINED TO ARBITRATE. Chairman Yonus Shows that Republicans Have Rio-ht of Way. A. A. Young, chairman of the Republican county committee, has written a letter to Police Superintendent Colbert declining to appoint a committee of two to effect a compromise with a, like committee from the Popocratic headquarters on the line of march for next Saturday night's parade. Mr. Young's letter was in response to one from Mr. Colbert, in which the latter suggested that, inasmuch as the Popocrats had decided to have a parade tne name night, it might be well to avcid possibility of confusion by agreeing to avoid each other. Mr. Young stated in his letter that the Republicans had decided upon their line of march as early as Oct. 15, at which date the line of march was puonshed in the Journal, and that if the Democrats had decided at a later date to have a parade ihey had no right to dispute with the Republicans the right , of way in the streets selected. In refusing to aroitrate the matter Chairman Young took occasion to thank Superintendent Colbert for the efficient manner in which the police department had handled all the crowds which had been brought together by the campaign. COUNTY CHAIRMEN'S MEETING. Those ot Five Congressional Districts Gather. The Republican county chairmen of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth districts met in the city with Chairman Gowdy, of the State committee, yesterday, for a final review of the situation in their districts and to receive their final Instructions. The meeting developed the fact thai these men. sneaking from knowledge, and not from guesswork, are entirely confident of making gains over tne big nepuoiiean vote of 1K'.4. They are sere no in the belief that Hardy, Sulzer, Faris, Johnson and Landis will all be elected to Congress. A Delinie at the Lnv School. The Free-silver Club and the Republican League of the Indiana Law School indulged in a joint debate last night on the all-ab sorbing financial question. The question as debated was : "Resolved, That the adoption of the money plank of the Chicago plat form Is to the better interests of the United States than the adoption of the money plank of the .Republican platform." For the affirmative discussion of the question the Free-silver club selected Thomas Coyle, William Johnson and George Miller, and they were opposed bv Daniel L. Brown, jr., S. H. Shank and W. C. Wiley, representing the Republican League. Fifteen minutes for each speaker was al lowed and the debate was carried on in the most enthusiastic style. The court room at the school building was filled with students and their friends, who were deeply interested in tne proceedings. It was a sympathetic audience when was ready to applaud a good point or a brilliant flight of oratory, regardless of the personal feel ing on the suDiect. mere was no decision on the debate except that which each cf the listeners made in his own mind. The most noticeable point in the debate was the stating of the question, which referred to the Republican platform bv its name. but spoke of the Popocratic platform as tne "cnicago piauorm.

How to Judge Results in Indiana from First Returns. Washington Spnial in Boston Transcript. Next to Illinois, the vote of Indiana election night will be interesting. If Bryan leses Ihlnols his only possible salvation is in Indiana, assuming that he cannot carry New York, Massachusetts and Ohio. I his State differs radially from Illinois. It has ro city as against the country to take into account; tne population is mucn icre unm to iidependent voting, and the contest ihore will it. one straight, steady pull, the extraordinary thing about Indiana politics is the slight variation in resuu wmcu rammotions, no matter how large. proJuce. It i. ntn... the oiTYia cIto na Massachusetts and has the sams number of electcral votes. In 1888 General Harrison, a citizen or tne State, carried it by only 2.348 votes out of a total of about 540,000. As between Harrison and Cleveland, wherever there were 261 men, 131 were for Harrison and 130 for Cleveland. T'lAt is what may be called close. Four years later, when the country went Democratic with a rush. Indiana came haltingly into the procession with 7,125 plurality. Of every seventy-tlve men thlrtv-elght had voted for Cleveland and thirty-seven for Harrison. This Is also close. There was less than 10.000 votes difference in the result In Indiana between 1S88 and 1!?92. while in Illinois there was a difference of 48,000; in Minnesota, a much smaller State, a difference of 22,000 in the same period. This lack of the mercurial element In Indiana politics was accounted for by one wag as follows: "Every man In Indiana votes Just as his father did; no-man ever leaves one party to go to the other; the ratio of births and deaths continues about the same among Republicans and Democrats, and, whatever fluctuation the State shows is due to the people moving In and : moving ..out- of the State. We cannot control that. Some years more Republicans go out and more Democrats come In. This means a Democratic victory until the balance is again turned." There are more than 3,000 precincts in Indiana and ninety-two counties. The cities, of which Indianapolis, with its 105.000 in 190. is the largest, as a rule maintain about the same political proportions as the rest of the State. Perhaps this year the cities, including Indianapolis, will squint more favorably tovards the Republican, by comparison, than the country districts, but the State as a w-hole is about as even as a dish of corn mush. If a block of Indiana returns show that either man Is preceptibly Kading the other, it Is rretty safe to put that man down as a winner. The State is ordinarily so close, as shown in the instances recited, that it is a practical tic. If I learn at 10 o'clock on the evening of Nov. 3 that one hundred precincts in Indiana, coming In at haphazard, have given McKinley 11.000 and Bryan 9.000, it may be reasoned that since 20,000 is about one-thirtieth of the whole vote, the two contestants might come out at 3.10.000 and 270,000, or with a Republican majority of 60.000. From this figure a slight reduction should perhaps be made, in the belief that the places nearest the telegraph would be most favorable to an intelligent: cause like that of sound money, but for such an element of veering not over 10 to 25 per cent, need be allowed in Indiana. It is not of consequence to analyze the State bv sections: It will cast slightly under 600.000 votes, and it may be expected to run fairly c'ose. . There is no ground for Republican apprehension concerning Indiana, however. It is a great railroad State, and is gridlroned by the Immense continental lines connecting Chicago and St. Louis with the northeast and Southeast. There are thousands of Germans in the State of former Democratic affiliations; the natural gas has brought in a large factory population who have been at rest pretty largely for the last four years, and the name "Democratic" does not sound good to them. Besides, having come in from outside States they naturally bring with them more or less independence In voting. Closely allied to this snlrit of party regularity Is the disgust which the o'd-llner i'tIs for the Fopu'Ht fusion and the hnml'iatlng terms which It Imposes upon Democrats. Indiana is said to be the greatest pension State in the country, but perhaps this reputation hxs been earned bv reason of Ho'man's wll'ingness to brush aside his otherwise terretual economy whenever t pension bill was under conslderntlon. Indiana may be close en account of the traditions of regularity which prevail, but of those forces which operate to change men from one political party to Another, nearly a'l are working for the sound-monev raus. and It would be verv surprising if Mr. Brvun came within ?0.000 votes of carrying the Stsite. From that fleure his minority rpnv fall as l-" aa 100 000. according to the heieht. of th tide which riser In the West against repudiation. . M'LKAX'S GOLD-CLAISE LEASES. Cincinnati's Free-Silver Leader Does Not Practice What He Preaches. Washington Special to St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. The fact has just developed that John R. McLean, who boasts of having been a consistent lifelong advocate of free silver, who was a prominent candidate lefore the Chicago convention for the presidential nomination, and who Is recognized as one of the chief managers of the Democratic campaign In the East, has for years realized that the gold clause is a good stipulation to have inserted in his long-time contracts. It is evident that he has carefully considered the depreciation which mli?ht follow free coinage, and has determined to take no chances on the detrimental results which are likely to spring from the adoption of his precepts. It is shown by the record that-" seven years ago he was arranging his business in anticipation cf free coinape. There can be found In land record volume 1381 at the City Hall, pages 152 and 155, a Uansaction by which John R. McLean sold on March 1. 1SS&. certain land and lots in the city of Washington to the Columbia Athletic Club, of this city, the sum due being fixed fit $15,000. and for which forty-five $1,000 bonds of the club were given as security, those being numbered from one to forty-live. The rate of interest Is 5 per cent., payable semiannually. "go?d coin of the United States of the present standard, weight and fineness." being required for both principal and Interest. The obligation runs twenty years, falling due March 1, lf05. In the same volume a few page beyond this transaction Is recorded a cash loan of $25 000, which Is secured by twenty-five $1,000 bonds, numbered from forty-six to seventy, payable cn the same date as the other obligation, with interest at 6 per cent., the gold clause being also Inserted. The Indexing simply gives the name of the Columbia Athletic Club and the trustees charged with the ex-aeutiotv of the mortgage, and the casual observer would never Infer that Mr. McLean was a party to the transaction, but In the document Itself hia name appears as beiuff tlie sole party la-

Hence it is inferred that a continued examination of the records would reveal many similar gold clause obligations, as Mr. McLean is a multi-millionaire, and has large real estate interests in Washington.

From this single $70,000 transaction Mr. McLean, the bright shining apostle of free coinage, who based his claim to the presidential nomination on the ground that hs was a practical man. with all his interests Identical to those of Wall street linkers and brokers, who was not afraid that he would be ruined by a surplus of depreciated silver, derives an annual Income of $3,750 in gold, payable every six months.

Politics Ahead of College Sports. Scrlbner's Magazine. We seem to have emerged for the time from the thraldom of college sports. They flourish and long may they flourish! but the intensity of their prevalence is not so great just now but that the more Important coincident operations of the universe may compete with them successfully for the attention of mankind. Four years ago, when the football players owned Thanksgiving day outright, and had a preferred claim on a large part of the fall, the voices of the prophets of the Republic clamored hourly against the tyranny of athleticism, and deplored with lamentations and much tossing up of dust the appurent supremacy of matter over mind. But mind since then seem to have slipped out again from under matter. After Yale quarrelled, with Harvard over a question of etiquette a shrinkage of interest In college games gradually ensued, which has been helped along by events in general. Hard times have saddened us; war scares and silver scares have sobered us. This fall we are full of politics; and though we are not so engrossed as to refuse to look at a football game If it comes in our way, we cannot bring ourselves to feel as we might have felt live years ago, that the chief end of man In autumn 1 4 football. For the time being we are a chastened people and take even our pleasures somewhat sadly, and 'our chief end this year is to vote. Kentucklnns nnd the Tariff. Washington Post. My belief is that Bryan has a chance of carrying Kentucky, but only by a Blender margin," said Mr. J. 8. 11 anna, of Shelbyvhle, Ky., at the Ebbitt. "A good many people In my section, who hate to vote with the Republicans. re apt to support McKinley more on account of the tariff than the financial issue. There used to be a lot of money in growing hemp, but with the Wilson bill taking the duty off twine (the tax had previously been lifted from the hemp) the farmers can no longer make a profit In growing It. "By the adverse legislation on sugar that nearly ruined the planters In Ixulslana th stockmen of Kentucky lost their most profitable market for mules, and that has caused many of our people to feel nore toward the Democrats. A good many were also engaged in sheep raising, who havo suffered by the Wilson tariff. These are reasons that will influence quite a percentage of the country vote to side wlth'thn party that it has heretofore opposed most bitterly." The Populistlo ProKraiiime. J. Laurence Laughlin, In the Atlantic. In the genuine Pooulistic programme sliver nlays but an unimportant role. For political purposes, it is. In this campaign, skillfully made the common basis of action, by different groups of persons. Yet it in less hungrily demanded than Inconvertible paper, or the subtreasury scheme, or the. Income tax, or greater freedom from the mllltta, by the mind of the true Populist. In short, the conditions of agriculture have permitted the growth of numerous crazes, of which silver is not even the tallest wepd in the soil. Behind silver lies a whole thistle crop of Ideas, with which -we must eventually deal. We shall have to tace various schemes of redistribution of propertyeven after the silver question has gone to it long home with the greenback. A cra?e is the inevitable manifestation of an idea strongly held by under-educated men. If it is not the greenback craze or the silver craze, it will bo some other. The Railway and the Far me?. J. Laurence Laughlin, In the Atlantic. It Is a strange development Indeed, a curious travesty on Justice that the railway, which by reason of its low cost of transportation ha practically destroyed the farming Interests of the East, should be regarded by the farmers of the West as the vampire sucking out the blood of his agricultural profits; and yet their Western lands could have been opened to seaboard. markets onlv by means of It and Its low rates. The Eastern farmer must Justly regard the railway, and the resultant competition of the richer farm-land In the West, as the cause of his ruin and the force which, ha driven him to new employments; the Western farmer would not now be In existence it it were not for the railway.
