A wrong Impression seems to prevail among certain of the subscribers to The Journal, namely, that the recent ' reduction in the subscription price of the paper was only temporary, and that a return to former rates would take effect when the campaign closes. This Is ah error. The present published price of the paper will be permanently maintained and its high standard will in no way be impaired. 3cnd in your subscriptions to us at the published rates or have the paper delivered to you by our agent in your locality. Eugene V. Debs calls mills, factories and machinery "the tools of production." With Mr. Bryan the only tool of production Is the Jaw. SSBSSliaBSBSBSSBSBBSSBSSJSSBSSSBSJSPBBSSSSSS8SlSBBlBSaBSSSSSBBJ As election day approaches the activity of the Bryanltes in the Philippines and the Aguinaldists in the United States increases. To vote a straight ticket of any party place a cross within the square containingthc device of the party, and no mark anywhere else. The Journal is of opinion that Mr. Bryan is a better speaker than he was four years ago. lie makes decidedly more votes for the Republican party. If Chairmen Ilernly feels like testing in the courts the question whether political licence authorizes public .defamation of character he has good cause. Among the good results produced by the certainty of McKinley election Is the email amount of betting. Republicans are more than willing, but there are no takers. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, was Introduced to a political meeting Sunday afternoon as "next President after Bryan." That means, as children say, "next day after never." According to Democratic leaders, all along the line from Bryan down to Burke, their party followers are preparing to make explanation, on Nov. 7. to the effect that "the darned scoundrels bought us." If it is libel to call a man "an unscrupulous scoundrel," and to charge him with violating the criminal laws of the United States in the conduct'Of his own affairs, it is equally so to make the same charges In connection with political affairs. To say that the Republicans are planning to carry - Indiana by wholesale corruption Is equivalent to saying that the average Democratic voter and election officer are open to bribery. The Republicans will carry the State by a large majority, and it will not be by corruption. A party which for years past has Imposed and exacted campaign assessments from members of the police and fire forces. Irrespective of politics, should not affect a holy horror because a Republican committee ask by letter for voluntary contributions from Republican officeholders. Among the prominent New Yorkers who will not be able to vote because they did not register are Andrew Carnegie, Bourke Cockran, W. K. Vandcrbilt and W. C. Whitney. To lose a vote in that way Is almost as bad as marking one's ballot wrong. Moral: Bead the papers. Mr. Curtis, of the Chicago Record, ex presses the opinion that the Goebellte. will count out the Kentucky Republicans no matter what the majority may be. And yet those men who have overthrown fair elections and disfranchised voters in tha &outh come to Indiana to tell an intelligent people how to vote. The New York Financier of this week contains a detailed and technical account of the manner in which defaulting teller Alvord. of the New York First National. manipulated his books for four years so that ho was able to steal JTOO.ttM before be ing detected. It is not stated whether this showing I for the benefit of bankers, or of othtr bank clerks who would like to know the trick. That is a good point which Hon. Francis T. Roots made in his speech when he appealed to Democrats to vote for McKinley on the ground that Republicans stand on tt9 Democratic platform of 1S22, which declared that the gold and silver dollar cust be of the same intrlnslo value. Mr. Boots believes that men of all parties wfca

do not believe In the populism of Bryan should act together until all questions effecting the currency are settled.

Tili: WORK OF Tim WEEK. The election takes place, a week from today. In this State the campaign has been long and arduous, so that most of those interested in the election will be relieved when it shall be ended. 'Four years ago there was no business with which the campaign could Interfere. This year, in spite of the almost abs-olute certainty of the reelect!- of President McKinley, the campaign h.:3 Interfered" with business to some extent. In order that the result of the election may not turn back the abounding prosperity, all those who believe in the reelection of Mr. McKinley should do all in their power to bring out a full vote. This Is most essential in Indiana, since upon individual effort depends the Republican plurality. It is a mistake to Jeave the work of the campaign to committees because there Is much work that individuals can do much better. There Is campaign work that ncne but individuals can do. There are hundreds of voters throughout the State that readers of the Journal, as individuals, can induce to vote the Republican ticket. This fs the week for such work, and for that special work it is the best week of the campaign. How many Republicans and sound money Democrats will make themselves a committee of one to speak with this or that neighbor and In his own way urge him to vote for McKinley? Can any one conceive what an influence it would have In Increasing the plurality If each man j who feels the importance of Republican success would make a list of those whom he thinks he may be able to Influence and j have a kindly talk with him as to what is j better for them as individuals and for the j country at large when they go to the polls? It would mean thousands of votes for Mc Kinley because all the arguments which ap- i peal to the voter who has business or employment are In favor of McKinley. Republicans should redouble their efforts the next few days. Talking together of the glowing prospects is not work; bantering with Bryanltes is not work; both are a waste of time. To work Is to do something to increase the Republican vote. It will be appreciated by committees if the rank and file will volunteer to help wherever they can. THE SENTISEL AND CHAIRMAN IIKIINLY. The Sentinel makes a vicious and libelous attack on Chairman Ilernly of the Republican State committee because he has written to postmasters asking them to contribute to the Republican campaign fund in this State. Ills letter was simply a request for a contribution of any sum the recipient might feel like giving to the Republican cause. The Sentinel says this Is "an open violation of the law of the United States," calls Chairman Ilernly "a law breaker," and herds an editorial "The Scoundrel Ilernly." These charges and epithets are libelous and actionable, but with that the Journal has nothing to do. . Chairman Ilernly has not violated any law nor done anything unusual. The civil service law never intended to prevent persons in the government service from contributing to campaign funds. If they wished to, nor persons not In the government service from asking them to do so, provided the person so asking did not enter the building or room where the official is employed. In 1SS2 the Supreme Court of the United States, by Chief Justice Walte, decided that the law , prohibiting persons in the civil service from soliciting campaign contributions from other persons in the civil service was constitutional. The court said: The managers of political campaigns not in the employ of the United States are just as free frow to call on those In office for money to be used for political service as ever they were, and those in office can contribute as liberally as they please. The Ww contemplates r.o restrictions upon either giving or receiving except so far as may be necessary to protect. In some degree, those in the public service against exactions through fear of personal loss. This decision was under the civil-service law of 1S78. The amended law of 1SS3 extended the protection above referred to, and besides prohibiting any person in the government service from soliciting a campaign contribution from any other person In the government service, said: Sec. 12. That no person shall, in any room or btiilding occupied In the discharge of official duties by any officer or employe of the United States mentioned in this act, or in any navy-yard, fort or arsenal, solicit in any manner whatever, or receive any contribution of money or any other thing of value for any political purpose whatever. This section prohibits any person from personally solicltlnga campaign contribution In any room or building occupied by government, employes in the discharge of official duties. It is Intended to prevent and does prohibit any person from going from room to room or from desk to desk soliciting campaign contributions from persons In the employ of the government. It was not Intended to prevent and does not prohibit the solicitation of such contributions by private letter which may be and presumably Is delivered at the official's residence and not at his office. Even if delivered at his office such a letter is no violation of the law. As Chief Justice Walte said: "The managers, of political campaigns not in the employ of the United States are just as free now to call on those in office for money to be used for political service as ever they were," provided the request Is not made In the room or building where the government official Is cmployed. The soliciting of campaign contributions from government officials by letter has been practiced under the administrations of both parties for years pasL Officials may respond or not as they please. but a request for a contribution made in that manner is no violation of law. Eugene V. Debs terms the paraphernalia of modern industry, such as mills, factories, railroads, machinery, etc., the "tools cf production," and says as long as these are owned by private capital so long will the workingman be oppressed. The Journal is not sure whether the expression "tools of production" as used In this sense Is original with Mr. Debs, but If so it is a clever coinage and furnishes a good basis for a plausible though fallacious argument in favor of Socialism. If it be admitted, as was the custom in former times, that every artisan and mechanic should own his tools. It Is not a long step to demand tha. he should own the "tools of production" which modern progress has substituted for the old condi tion. But that would simply make capitalUta of those who are now workinjmea and ' ttc s -corners of, thoss who era now cap

italists, lie who owns one set of tools Is a capitalist on a small scale, and he who

owns a factory, mill or railroad Is a capital ist on a large scale. If worklngmen are to own thc'tools of production," what is to become of those who own them now? Is It not better to have equal laws under which every man can find his own level according to the gifts God has given himability, energy, ambition, enterprise and thrift. The Sentinel In its editorial columns "Is accustomed to apply to Theodore Roosevelt such epithets as "Vaporing mountebank." "Bloviating braggart," "hare-brained ego tist," "Harum-scarum dare-devil." and the like; and not long since devoted a column or its more or less valuable space to warn ing the public against Mr. Roosevelt as a demagogue in literature as well as in pol itics. His ideals of manhood set forth in his books it declared to be misleading and Injurious to youth, and "rank poison to the young people of the land." After working Itself up to a high pitch of Indignation It concluded with this interesting paragraph: In all soberness we say that Theodore Roosevelt, in thl3 campaign, on account of his prominent position, i3 doing more toward the demoralization of the youth of this country than can be counteracted by all the schools and churches in a year. That Is why he Is a dangerous demagogue. In the literary department of yesterday's Sentinel Is a review of Mr. Roosevelt's book, "The Strenuous Life." The reviewer. who Is eulogistic throughout, begins by saying: The volume so entitled Is the latest which Mr. Roosevelt has found time to give us out of his own strenuous life. His name is inseparably connected with this phrase, for he Is an illustration of his own ideal of the living of the strenuous life. Not yet forty-two years old, he is the one all-around American of whom his countrymen are proud statesman, historian, economist, soldier, hunter and author. Every thing he has done has been well done. It is not to bo inferred from this con flict of opinion that the Sentinel's literary editor does not read what the political editor says. On the contrary, he presumably does read it, as one of the painful duties Imposed on each attache of the paper, but, like outsiders compelled or beguiled by one reason or another to the same task, declines to accept a word of it as truth. Merely for the looks of the thing, however, the political and literary editors should "get together." In a letter written by Mr. Bryan to Hon. George A. Carden, of Dallas, Tex., on Feb. IS, 1S96, he related this interesting incident: In June, 1S05 I was discussing the silver question at Jackson, Miss., when a gentle man in the audience asked me if I would support a gold standard candidate on a gold standard platform if the Democratic convention should nominate such a candidate. I answered that, while I did not believe the Democratic party would take such action, I would refuse to support tne nominee in the event tnat it did se lect a gold standard candidate on the gold standard platform. I never re tracted what I said at Jackson, and I do not Intend to. During the campaign of 1S06 Mr. Bryan said that he did not want any man who believed In the gold standard to vote for him. In this letter he declared that he would bolt if the Democratic party should declare for tho gold standard. Having declared against "regularity" himself, and having voted for Weaver, Populist, in 1S02, Mr. Bryan Is In no position to denounce Democrats who can't acept his Populistic heresies. Democrats from the States of Georgia and South Carolina are taking part in the canvass of this State, because, under the system in their own States, few people vote. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, is here. In the total vote for President In his State was less than 137,000, but those 157,000 votes chose thirteen electors, whilo Indiana's 633,000 votes choso fifteen electors. Indiana, on the basis of the number of electors chosen by 157,000 voters In Georgia, would have forty-two electors. Will those Southern Bryanltes tell us why their people do not vote as do those of the North? The New York World, Bryan organ, says: "Mr. Bryan is making a splendid fight, but the only thing that can be said with absolute confidence is that the vote will be the largest ever cast." This may be regarded as a strictly conservative statement. The population having greatly increased within four years the vote will necessarily be the largest ever cast. The Journal takes this opportunity to assure tho World, with "absolute confidence," that the bulk of this Increase, to say nothing of the old majorities, will go to McKinley and Roosevelt. Debs's plan of social and economic reform is better than Bryan's. One would bring public utilities, mills, factories, etc., under the joint ownership of the operatives, while the other would destroy them altogether. Debs believes in corporations, provided they are owned and operated by worklngmen; Bryan would abolish them entirely. Debs has studied the subject a little and Bryan not at all. One has scratched the surface of things and the other is clawing the air. J. S. Bache & Co., of Boston, present this contrast of factors in the last and present presidential years: 1S06. Eack of confidence generally. The West poor. Industries low. Money rates high. Railroads in receivers' hands. Europe selling us our securities. Bryan scare. 1900. Confidence restored and strong. The West rich. Industries active and prosperous. Money rates low. Railroads paying dividends. England placing war loan here. -No Bryan scare.

In respect to Mr. Bryan himself, aside from the disastrous financial policj; that he advocates, we have not been able to bring ourselves to the belief that he is a safe man to be intrusted with the duties of the presidency. Mr. Bryan's friends tell us that the presidency always sobers the man who fills that responsible office, and that Mr. William J. Bryan, as President of the United States, will net be the William J. Bryan who is candidate for President. Possibly this is true, but we prefer a President who is already sobered, who la not still in the midst of a debauch of clas hatred, and who has no political Katzenjammer "before him in the event .of his election. It is almost nesdless to point out the fact that whatever material damage would result to th country by reason of Mr. Bryan's election would take plac before he had an opportunity to prove that the tresidtacy had sobered Liza.

President could undo the damage that had aiready resulted from his election. We have no doubt that great responsibilities would sobtr Mr Bryan, but by the time Mr. Bryan was sobered the wheels of industrial progress might have been turned back half a decade, and the country would be in the midst of another period of industrial and financial depression. Is it worth this Facrafice on the part of the American people to have Mr. Bryan sobered? The Free Press cannot believe it. however desirable, from certain points of view, a sober Mr. Bryan might bo.

He Has n Son lit the Philippines and Showed Ills Feeling. Shelbyvllle (Ind.) Republican. "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Mr. Bryan In his numerous speeches over the country has frequently - with feigning solicitude asked this question, and there are many old Davids here and there who will not hesitate to answer no. Theso "are the old Davids who, with trembling hands and pulsating hearts, read daily the casualty lists In the Fhiliplno Islands. Last Saturday night while Captain W. E. English was speaking at the opera house there sat near the stage an old David who has a young man Absalom In the Philippines. This old David had never slain a Goliath ; he had never gone forth to battle with the Philistines; he was not bedecked in the raiment of a king. He was simply a plain, common old American David of tho modern kind. He sat there and with rapt attention listened to tho speech, while his patriotic heart was beating a tattoo to the emotions that made his bosom heave beneath his well-worn coat. In vain did this old David attempt to suppress the volcanic eruption that as Captain English proceeded and told of an incident that evening which had occurred on the train as he came from Indianapolis to this city, wherein another old David was exhibiting to the passengers a picture of a young man Absalom dressed in the blue clothes of a soldier, who, he proudly told them, was In the Philippine Islands fighting for the'flas of his country. Said he: "I have been a Democrat all my life, but never, no never, will I again give my support to "a party which lifts its traitorous hands against my country, or stains them with the blood of this, my beloved boy Absalom!" The old David who sat in the front could maintain his composure no longer and the fury that was raging In him came forth. He leaped to his feet, and with" a roaring whoop like a Comanche, his old slouch hat went to the celling like a sky rocket. But in the next instant the mournful truth flashed before him that the party which had evoluted into such ignominy was the one to which he had clung all his life with abiding faith of a , true, loyal, honest party member, and dropping back Into his seat the fountain tide of his sorrow broke loose, and as the tears of his bitterness gushed forth and glistened under the gas light none knew the plenitude of his sorrow except other old Davids. ABREST OF ALV0BD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) had backed horses, but never on race tracks, and had owned fast horses himself. He said he had lived his life, and had taken life to its full at the rate of 530.000 a year or more. He said he would not make any fight, would throw up his hands, take his sentence and after that was over, would come out In the world again. He said he knew he would be unable to secure bail, and that he had nothing with which to make restitution. On being searched at police headquarters only a few dollars were found in-his pockets, which he was allowed to keep. He sent a telegram to Lawyer Gardiner, in New York, asking him to meet the train when it arrived in New York. . - DAX It CLERKS WATCHED. Five Alleged to Have Been Dismissed for Associating with Gamblers. NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Since the announcement of the embezzlement of Note Teller Alvord, there have been many stories of new and rigid espionage by banking houses over their clerks. . One of these ttories concerns the German Savings Bank. It was reported last night that five of the clerks of that institution have been discharged because detectives discovered that they were associates of gamblers. Three of them are said to have had an Interest in a bookmaking firm that does business at the local race tracks. The story recites that detectives were placed on the trail of nil of the clerks In the bank and the five in question were the only ones about whom anything suspicious could be learned. It was not said that the clerks had stolen anything, nor that they had contemplated any wrong doing, but the Information is to the effect that the officers of the bank deemed it best to get rid of them.

BRYAX OUTDOES ALL FORMER EFFORTS IX SPEECIIMAKIXG. Talks to Thirty Audiences, Ilrurlnnina; at 7 o'clock In the Mornlnpc and Endlnc Nenr Midntgrht. VISITS MANY LITTLE TOWNS AXD ENDS THE TOUR "WITH EIGHT SPEECHES IX BROOKLYN. Mrs. Bryan Shares Applause with Her Husband by Showing Herself to the Peopte. NEW YORK. Oct. 23. "And I am feeling tolerable well, I thank you." This was Mr. Bryan's response when told to-night that he had made thirty speeches during the day, and thus broken his own record for speech-making. As a rule the speeches were not so long as on most occasions, but they exceeded in number by nine or ten those of any previous day during the present campaign, and by three the highest number made in the campaign in any one day in 1SDG. Beginning at Balnbrldge, in the interior of the State, at 9 o'clock in the morning, he spoke in succession at Sydney, Unadilla, Oneonta, Otsego, Schenvus, Cobleskill, Vocrheesville, Delanson, Ravena, Coxsackie, .Catskill, Saugertles, Kingston.- Highlands, Marlboro, Cornwall, Highland Falls, Haverstraw, West Nyack and Little Ferry. In New York city he made one speech, at Hamilton Fish Park, on the East Side, and in Brooklyn during the night he made eight speeches, making thirty In all for the day and night. The day's tour was first along the headwaters of the Susquehanna river, and then back through the Catskills and down the Hudson on the west side of that river to Weehawken; thence across the river and across Manhattan Island and into Brooklyn. All the speeches, except one, were made in the State of New York, the exception being that of Little Fern', which is in the State of New Jersey. Mrs. Bryan accompanied her husband during the day, 'and she received almost as much applause as he did when she appeared before the crowds assembled to hear him. She was also presented during the day with many handsome bouquets of roses and chrysanthemums. Eliot Danforth and Mrs. Danforth were also aboard the train during the day. As a rule greater enthusiasm was manifested than at smaller places on Mr. Bryan's first tour of the State, and the crowds were generally large in proportion to the population. Of the day meetings Kingston was the largest, as It was one of the most enthusiastic. Haverstraw and West Nyack also received Mr. Bryan most cordially. CROKER HIRES ALL THE BANDS. The demonstration In Brooklyn was one of the largest political outpourings In the history of the borough. Over 100 bands furnished music, and it is estimated that over 100,000 people saw and heard the Democratic candidate, speak to-night. There were eight different parades in the borough, and it is estimated that altogether 40,000 people were in line. Fireworks flamed until midnight from a dozen different stands, and Greek fire was everywhere. A small army of policemen kept the crowds in order, and twenty mounted officers met Mr. Bryan's party at the bridge entrance and acted as an escort for the remainder of the evenIrg.' The first speech was made at the Academy of Music. As the Bryan party approached the Academy, bombs and skyrockets were set off In front of the borough hall and filled the sky with clouds of colored stars. Music broke forth from a dozen bands, and the throngs of people In the streets cheered and shouted themselves hoarse. The Academy was crowded with an enthusiastic audience, and thousands of people who wished to hear the Democratic candidate could not be admitted. When Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform the crowd went wild with applause, and it was at least ten minutes before sufficient quiet could be restored to allow the speaker to proceed. Mr. Bryan spoke for thirty minutes, being frequently interrupted by applause. Senator Wellington, of Maryland, followed Mr. Bryan, who, as soon as his speech was ended, started for the Park Theater, where he addressed another large gathering. After leaving the Park Theater Mr. Bryan made a dash for the eastern district, arriving at the Palace Park Rink about 9:15 o'clock. Before his arrival there was a parade of 6,000 Democrats with twenty bands. At a quarter to 10 Mr. Bryan arrived at Liederkranz Hall, where there was another parade and more bands. At Military Hall, the next stopping place, there was a parade and twenty-seven bands to greet the candidate. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the candidate reached Arion Hall. This was a labor meeting, and Edwin Markham and Controller Coler had addressed the gathering before Mr. Bryan arrived.' From Arion Hall Mr. Bryan was driven to Scwaben Hall, where he concluded his speechmaking. SPEECH TO FARMERS. Mr. Bryan announced at the breakfast table this morning that he was never in better condition for the campaign," and said that he wanted to make all the speeches so as to break his own record, the highest number which he had hitherto made in one day being twenty-seven. - At Balnbrldge he said: "I extended the time of my stay In New York In order to come up into this part of the State. I am glad to talk to farmers, for It seems to me that if the people of this country who are working on the farm, who are making their living out of the soil, will examine public questions that very few farmers will be able to give a reason for voting the Republican ticket. In this part of New York you have a great many Republican farmers; in fact, the Republicans have now admitted that the cities are lost. They started out with the full dinner pail as an argument. They started out with the assertion that the country was prosperous, and that, therefore, everybody would vote the Republican ticket, and yet to-day the Republicans are not mentioning the full dinner pail any more." Proceeding, Mr. Bryan said that the Republicans had abandoned the idea of carrying the cities, and were now appealing to the farmers. At Sidney Mr. Bryan spoke for five minutes. The address took an interrogative form. Mr. Bryan asked that if the Republican party really condemned the trusts, as its platform declares, how is it trusts grew so in the past three years, with the Republicans In executive and legislative control of the government. Subsequent questions took Mr. Bryan's auditors over the subject of the effect of trusts on wages and the cost of manufactured articles. The subject of increase of the standing army was touched upon in a similar way, and the allegation was made that "The Porto Rican bill is built upon the same theory that England built her colonies a century and a quarter ago." At Unadilla Mr. Bryan said that the Democrats stood to-day where the President had stood when -he announced the acquisition of the Philippines would be criminal aggression. The train stopped at Otego only a moment, and Mr. Bryan did not speak. , IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTY. In a speech at Cobleskill Mr. Bryan referred to the fact that he was in Schoharie county which is the only county In the State of New York that gave him a majority In On this subject he said: "Mr. Danforth has been insisting for four years that I should come Into this county, because it was the only county In ths Ctate that gave me a majority in ICC 3, and I have tetn Insisting that this is ths enly county I net need to come b ticv 3 txtr-3 cU rl-t c-17 how fcr t! .3 ti 7

greater reason why our Par.0U.liSayn your support In thlsf campaign than in the campaign of 1?.' v Mr. Bryan quoted Senator f rwj" army question. "1 want to show ou what Mr. Depew said only two years ago. An army of 100.0W was then ngtalked of and he slid it would take more than that if we carried out the coloidal pollc. He said: It would mean the increaM - ofour army to 130.000, more likely to imwo men. it would mean the increase of our ann ual expenditures to double what they are now That was two years ago. Now the Re publicans are advwatln? an Imperial nollcv Let me show j-ou what Mr. Depew Lid on tha? imperial Wea: -You cannot have empire without its attributes and that means a practical revolution ofour forms of government and an abandonment of the beliefs the fathers held when they established this government in L.o. inat is the opinion of your own Senator Depew only two years ago. Your f ent f? only three years ago that forcible annexation was criminal aggression and contrary to our code of morality and we say now what they said then, that it means a revolution in government: it means the abandonment of our ideals it means that adoption of the colonial policy against which our forefathers protested 123 years ago. and before you Republicans vote for that I want you to remember that when you sign the death warrant of self-government in the Philippine islands you sign the death warrant of your own self-government in this country: when you deny liberty to others you strike a blow at your own. The best way to defend your own rights Is to recognize, the rights , of others." At Delanson Mr. Bryan made a fiveminute speech from the rear platform of his car, which was addressed entirely to the farmers. He said that statistics show that each decade the farmers share of the wealth of the world Is growing less and less. SPEECH TO HEBREWS. Mr Bryan's meeting in Hamilton Fish Park, under the auspices of the Hebrews of the East Side, was a great success. Mr. Bryan addressed himself especially to .the Hebrews, saying he was glad to address a race that had produced Solomon, the wisest man, and Moses, the greatest law-givr. Ex-Governor Stone, who accompanied Mr. Bryan, said that he regarded the Hamilton Fish Park meeting the greatest political gathering he had ever witnessed. He estimated the number present at 100,000. From the park meeting there was a mad rush to the Academy of Music in Brooklyn. Mr. Bryan was whirled away from the park and for many squares through the Jewish quarter his way was lined witn people, and marked by fireworks and loud acclaim. Then there was a dash across the Brooklyn bridge and to the Academy of Music, in that city, where the- longest speech of the night was made. There was another great throng in the vicinity of the Academy, and the interior was crowded until there was room for no more. At the meeting at the Academj' Mrs. Bryan occupied a seat in a private box. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Brooklyn Democratic Club, which as an organization supported the Palmer and Buckner ticket in 1S96. In beginning his speech Mr. Bryan made brief reference to the club's history, saying he was pleased to have their support at this time, if, he had not had it before. On this point he 3 1(1 "This is the twenty-first speech for today and, yet your presence and your enthusiasm .makes me forget that I am tired. I am trying to do my part in this campaign, and I know from the way you act that you are prepared to do your part." Discussing the trusts Mr. Bryan referred to the letter of acceptance of Governor Roosevelt, as the vice presidential nominee. Upon the mention of the Governor there were loud hisses from all parts of the house, which did not cease until Mr. Bryan made a special request to that effect. He held his hand aloft In. deprecation of the demonstration and asked the people to desist, out of respect for the office. . In connection . with his discussion of trusts, Mr. Bryan said: "Every once In a while I see it stated that a Republican has offered to bet money on the result of the election. Of course Democrats can't compete with the trust magnates in betting, for while Democrats spend their own money, the trust-made man spends other people's money." He closed with an appeal to Democratic voters not to allow themselves to be Intimidated at the coming election. Mr. Bryan, after concluding his speeehmakingr in Brooklyn, left for Hornellsvllle at 12:12 a. m. on the Erie railroad. ARMY MORTUARY LISTS.

There are several cases now pending before the courts at New York In which the legality of the act of Congress Is brought up, and if these are decided against the complainants the Intention of the attorneys Is to appeal them to the Supreme Court. In which event they probably will be set for hearing: on the 7th of January. Another case before the Supreme Court seeks to prevent by injunction the collection or duties on Porto Rican Imports. This Is set for hearing on the l"th of November. It Is possible this may "be delayed until January, and all the caM?s involving the constitutionality of the Pcrto Rican tariff in its several phases heard together. The Chinese Exclusion Act."'

In a few instances collieries operated by individuals and by companies have faikd to resume, but in the main it can by fafdy said that hard coal Is once more Ulr.f mined. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal anj Iron Company, which controls over a per cent, of the output of the anthrucit region, and which is the larsest operating company in the hard coal field, to-daj received wcrd from General Superintendent Luther, at Pottsville. that thlrty-sevea of the thirty-nine collieries operated bj that company were working to-day. ThU is the number that was in oirution 03 Monday, Sept. 17, the first day of th strike.

The former is in the Schuylkill region, and, according to the Reading of. iicials, did not resume because of the eonstruction cf a new breaker.

With the men at the William Pern colliery, however, the decision was reached that unless the notices were posted promising the increase until April 1 there woull be none who would report for work.
