la called Into the bank and tokJ how he rauat vote on a manty proposition, let that business man remember that !t 5* not his banker talking to him. but that it is a London banker talking to him through tbeve several other bankers down the line. This is the veriest midsummer madness. The proposition is false in what It states and what It impli's. The bankers of In-
man who is in an exalted state, who believes In himself and his cause as a prophet, who is possessed of the Idea that he is the champion of mass against class to a degree that sweeps one away from that level of comprehension which alone can make a safe man. Putting aside Mr. Bryan's denunciation of moneyed institu*
dianapols are not irt the habit of telling • tions and his scornful periods concerning
their customers how they must vote. And they themselves are for the gold standard simply because they believe, with the Indianapolis Sentinel, that a chang- to a silver standard would bring a panic on tlhe
country.
There was not one line or word of argu-
ment in Mr Bryan's speeches here from r beginning to end. They were made up of j PLRE hLECTlO^S. denunciations of the gold standard, under j Opr esteemed contemporary, the Browne-
flnaneiers, and taking simply his manner of approaching and dealing with his subject, we believe that his presence anywhere will lose him supporters among thinking people. There is no getting away from the impression that he is unsafe, If
not, indeed, actually malevolent.
If wages are paid In flfty-three-cent dollars you will not be so likely to lose your job,’’ and so on. and so forth, till in the cloud of words the auditor is supposed to have forgotten the real question, “will wages advance proportionately with the rise In the price of commodities,” which haj been completely ignored.

MR. BR YAN A JVZ> PIS SPEECHES. Nre think It wttremelv fortunate that the teople of IndianapolM^have had opporanlty to taka the measure of Mr. Bryan, tfo man who has talked as much as he tas could be.unknown to men who read toe newspapers, but personal observation a alwajra a great help toward forming an iccurate judgment of a public character, fester-day our people both aaw and heard toe Chicago nominee, and we believe that I I Is wholly telthin the bounds of modtration to say that they were not favoribly }mpresaed. They saw a man who vaa evidently filled with a sense of his •wn Importance, and without any appreciation of the great responsibilities which m election to the great office for which te is a candidate would bring to him. den of the highest character and greatest ntellectual power have trembled at the ircipeot of being called upon to serve toe people In the capacity of chief maglarate. But here we have a young man, ilmoat wholly untrained In public life, vlthotu any experience In executive ofice. with all the llmitatioi.j belonging to he mere talker, and altogether lacking in •riouanesa and dignity, who apparently ta% not the slightest doubt of hla ability b administer the affairs of this Oovrnment. Confidence is a . good thing, tut when an Inexperienced young man >aks us to heiieve In u certain policy, rhieh many Of hla supporters denounced mly a few months ago, simply because if “thinks” it is the correct thing, nd to elect him President because te feels that he Is capable of executing he trust, we miss our guess very much f the people of these United States do toPsay to Mr. Bfyan, “tyrry in Jericho III your beard be grown.” They will reoember that they are electing a successor 0 Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Llnoln, Cleveland and Harrison, and so renembering, they will not be In haste to ake the young man from Nebraska at
its own estimate.
Yesterday we expressed the belief that M. Bryan was honest in holding the octrlnes which he is preaching. In the fght of hla speeches In Indianapolis, tesimony to hla sincerity la anything but la tiering to his good sense. It would he nteresttng to enter upon a study of tha nan's character, and to try to discover rhether he really believes all the foolish hlnga he said yesterday. But it is Ardly worth while. One thing, however, • perfectly clear, and that is that he la 1 demagogue of the highest type. There I nothing in this fact to conflict with .la honesty, for there have been many .onset demagogues in the history of ths forM. Psw of them begin ss honest men, ait by continual Iteration of thetr theoles. they, gradually come to believe In hem. S?. whether Mr. Bryan is playing . part or not, he is a demagogue. Hit agenloua efforts to Indame class against lass, hip insidious attacks upon man who «ve property, whether much or little, its attempts to identify hie cause who he perpetuation of our national inde* kndence, hla appeals to the cupidity "Of San kind, his willingness to transform tscomtent Into disloyalty--all these kings stamp Mm as a demagogue of * *ry dangerous eort. We do not recall • craftier or more untruthful speech than tat made by Mr. Bryan In Tomlinson Ull last night. We sMt voters te eonMer carefully these words: The gold standard means financial bondf e. It maana tha enslavement of the ' ' id yet the gold bugs er. for the difference to vote to enslave seventy
which we have been doing business for sixty years, of sneers at "financiers," of libels upon business men. who, according to hi* childish theory, have not the manhood to resist coercion from their bankers; and of appeals to the discontented, urging them to vote for a policy which would rob others without helping their own condition. And this is the man who wants to bo President of these United States! It la said that there were many workingmen in the audience last night. We sincerely trust- that this was the case. To such men we would say that Mr. Bryan did not deny that his policy would lessen the purchasing power of their wagea. The queetion which Mr. Cockran left for him to answer — that la, how free silver could advance wages proportionately to the confessed advance In prices — Mr. Bryan wholly Ignored. He will continue to ignore H, for the question can not be answered in aoch a way as to satisfy any oonscienttous and intelligent workingman. The moet he can say is that in the general prosperity the workingman would share. But that the flrat step would be a lessening of the purchasing power of wages he has not denied, and he can not deny. It is well to insist upon definiteness In this •matter. The proposition is a very simple one. It la this: Mr. Bryan’a scheme is designed to raise prices, for it means the cheapening of money. If It does that, the workingman, who buys everything and sells nothing except his labor, will have to pay more for everything he buys. This much Is admitted. Will hla wages rise proportionately? They never have done so In the history of mankind. Wages can not be raised by depreciating the currency. And. stripped of all fine words, Mr. Bryan stand* ‘before the American people as the advocate, of a debaaed and depreciated cur-
rency. *
His speeches yesterday were not different from those which he has been making all over the country, exeefit that they were a little worse. They wlil grow more violent from now until election. We ask nothing better for the cause of sound money and national honor than that he should be Judged by his own speeches. And we believe that the American people
may be trusted to Judge him.

There is no accounting for taste, as was exemplified by the old woman who kissed the cow. Many persons who heard Mr. Bryan yesterday will place him in the first rank of orators, and consider him superior to Harrison, Cockran and Schurz. There are doubtless persons who, If they were asked to name half a dozen of the great works of fiction, would head the list with the marvelous story of “Jack the Giant Killer.”

FREE COINAGE aND FREE CHEATING. Mr. Bry&n Bays free coinage will raise pricM, because It will cheapen money. Cheaper money means money of lower purchasing power. Of course, if a dollar become* cheaper, less valuable, less desirable than It is, now, It will take more dollars, that is, more of the cheaper dollars, to buy a certain thing. The actual price, the real prlqe, will not Increase, only the nominal price, as expressed in the different measure. The man with wheat, or wool, or cotton, or sugar, or cloth to sell will get more cheap dollars for his merchandise than he would real dollars, but he would be getting no more money in actual value — in power to purchase other thing* that he might want. The only possible advantage (If one may uae so good a word in such a connection) that it could serve, would te that the change of standard would enable debtors, national. State, municipal and Individual^ to-cheat their creditors out of part of their just dues; and the wages of employes of every sort and description could be reduced Without their fully realising for the time What had taken place. While wages remained nominally the same, the purchasing power would be decreased to precisely the degree that prices were increased by the cheapening of the dollar. Existing debt* would be liquidated in the cheaper dollars. Of course, that would be dishonest. It would be cheating tor a nation or a man to pay a debt in dollars worth a half or a quarter less than the dollars received. It is just as wicked for the debtor to chest the creditor as for the creditor to cheat the debtor. Fine words, brilliant metaphors, incendiary- talk about gold bugs, bankers, syndicates, money power, Wall street, Lombard street, and all that, can not obscure this simple fundamental fact, that to change from the gold basis to the silver baals, with the undemanding that payments In ths new dollars shall apply not only to future engagements, but also to existing obligations, which are all in effect gold obligations, would be the adoption of a policy of public and private repudiation. Can H be possible that the majority of the American people want their Government to cheat its creditors and Us pensioners and sre willing themsslvss to cheat thetr own creditors? We shall utterly refuse to believe this.

MR. BRYAN’S MANNER.
We doubt it Mr. Bryan largely increased his following by his visit here yesterday. Rw certainly did not among thoughtful people. The News, of course, will, in the minds of many, be held incompetent te apthk. because of its predilections, and so forth. Ws are not cohsdous, however, of any Interference from any feeling of that sort In our Judgment on the man's total impression. We believe we can get and analyse that Impression correctly, whether favorable or unfavorable to the man and the cause he represents. What Impression he mad* on what is termed “the masses,” that is, ths thoughtless People who were already hla partisans, we do not undertake to say. We should be quite ready to believe that U was a favorable tmprsasion; that the magnetism of large crowds, added to the presence of the men, might result In 4 Enforcement of enthusMsm that would Increase votes for him. W* might be pfrfectly willing to make that statement, because we‘ do not know, and so we would put it most favorably, but we do feel that his impresPlB upon thinking people was repellent
rather than attractive.
There Is something sinister in his Ihanifestatlon. One feels that In his presence

Some of thtfm wSre admirably worked here in die iasOfew years, and we again assert thalkjhe people of this community are neither wiser, nor worse than those of other localltiesA The New has a large Hit of readers In andjitotfut this town who know the exact condition in this affair and who will substantiate die truth Of the Record’s statements in
tn!e matter. *
We ate at a loss to understand wny the Record does not tell in what way votes are bought under the Australian ballot system. We reassert that this Australian ballot system is "a law which makes it impossible for a voter to prove hew he has voted.” Will our contemporary kindly tell us wherein that is not true? We persist in imintaining that it is true. If the Record can ghow that it is not, it will lay the fbundation for an amendment to the law, for all, surely, want a law that will as completely safeguard the ballot as possible. The Brownsburg paper says that a man may vote a secrei, ballot, but he is not compelled to do bo if he chooses otherwise. Certainly, he is not compelled. Neither is he compelled to vote at all,, but if he do vote, he can not prove how he has voted. His word must be taken for it. Now, if a man sell his vote, we maintain that he can not prove to the buyer that he has carried out his contract. He can assert that he has, and we believe that It is the, experience that people who will sell their votes have, as a rule, the “honor among thieves” which Induces them to stand by the sale; but in all this we maintain that there Is no way In which the truth or falsehood can be shown under the present law. Under the old way it could be shown, but now it ie “thieves' honor” or nothing. Similarly, we can not see in what way a man can be coerced. The Record says that an employe can be coerced to vote. We maintain that he can not, for no man can tell how another man has voted. The Record declares that there are several me'hods which work to the entire satisfaction of buyers. Will It kindly specify one method? We protest that we do not know of one. If the Record will specify one or several (It ought to tell of all methods it knows), its Information might be taken as the basis on which to construct a law for the further safeguarding of our elections; but all such law, as we see it, must simply apply to making bribery more difficult. It can not. in any wise, throw around the act of election a more complete protection than the present law does. The voter is compelled, under our present system, ' to be alone in a covered , booth with his ballot; to Indicate on his ballot how he wishes It counted; then to fold that ballot in a prescribed way. which prevents any one from seeing it, and hand it to the election officer. We reassert that, under such condition, no coercion, no bribery can be successful, from the simple fact that the person attempting either can not know whether he has car-
ried out his purpose.

The National Cycle Board of Trade held a meeting in New York this week and discussed the outlook for cycling in 1S97. The majority of the delegates to the meeting thought that more bicycles would be ridden next year than during the last season, and that the trade would show a healthy increase. A good deal of time was spent in allotting spaces in the two big cycle shows—one In New York and the other in Chicago. These shows will be held in the winter. The form of guarantee for next year was discussed, and the following agreement entered into by all of the mom-' bers of the board: "We agree with the purchaser of each bfcycle to make good, by repair or reclaceroent, when delivered at our factory, transportation prepaid, any imperfection or defect in material or manufacture of such bike not caused by misuse or neglect: provided that the factory rerial number shall be on such bike at the

Never Wore in the history of this country has intimidation and terrorizing been carried to the extent that it is being carried in this campaign. This statement was made by Mr. Bryan in his speech at Tomlinson Hall last night. It is not enough to s^y that it Is untrue. It is foully nnd wickedly false. Intimidation and terrorizing are impossible under the Australian ballot, as Bryan himself proceeded to show. * . Florida went Democratic yesterday just as water runs down hill.

Mr. Bryan made several speeches in the State, and if he did not tell the people win heard him that they were "slaves” it was strange omission on his part. Monday he got an indication of the answer h? Is going to receive from Connecticut. Any majority over ten thousand will mean a decisive victory. The largest plurality the State has.given, up to 189L from 1872, is 5,370.

Mr. Moreton Frewen, vice-president of the Bimetallic League of Great Britain, has come over to this country to watch the progress of the sliver campaign. Since his arrival, Mr. Frewen has been expresskig himself pretty freely, and he is likely to become a persona non grata However, he has made several statements that ought to help along the cause of sound money. He says that in the event of Bryan’s election, Englishmen would unload their securities. He thinks there would be a big parflc for a while, but he endeavors to mollify the effect of his remark by declaring that the United States is a big enough country to stand it! Thanks are due Mr. Frewen for his frankness. — By the way, Mr. Frewen is heavi-

The people of Connecticut held local elections Monday in 162 of the 168 towns. Returns have been received from 146 towns. Of these, 133 have elected the Republican candidates, which is a gain of twelve towns over last year. The majorities indicate a Republican majority in the State of 15,000. Nine of the sixteen towns yet to be heard from are supposed to be safely Republican. Of course, there Is no doubt as to toow Connecticut will vote in the presidential election. The question la one of majority. The Republican leaders In Connecticut are claiming, on the basts of Monday’s vote, a majority of 20,000. The Democrats, on the other hand. Insist that local Issues were so prominent that no calculation can be based on ths election. They do not believe that the Republican majority in November will exceed 10,000. But even this is a pretty big majority for Connecticut.
Honesty is the best policy.

Free coinage means silver monometallism; means a panic of far-reaching character and prolonged duration, when, of course, wage-earners suffer more than any other class; mean* lower wages. Voters who think tbeee things are desirable should by all means work and vote for Brylin. , /
It is somewhat amusing to note the efforts of the newspaper organ of the other part to minimize yesterday’s demonstration, to make it appear there were only a few people here. To be sure it was not what Senator Voorhees might call "one of those great, vast, earth-loading crowds.” It might have been but for the rain, which, starting the night before, held on till noon. Despite this, it was one of the largest crowds that has ever assembled in Indianapolis. The crowd that came to see President Hayes and General Sherman at the time of the State Fair was larger. Perhaps the crowd that came last to hear Mr. Blaine was larger, the crowd ths Grand Army Encampment brought was larger, and there may have been other occasions when there were more people in Indianapolis, for this is a town of large crowds, but certainly yesterday’s crowd will rank with the large ones in our history.
It may be said without fear of successful contradiction that the campaign is on.
Bryan admit* that free coinage means a reduction of pensions.
Terrible Spiders.
As a rule, spiders are quite harmless to man, but one or two foreign species are capable of doing mischief. The great, hairy spider of 'the So/th American pampas, for instance, has long, black, siokle-shaped Jawa, which inflict severe wounds, and the i effects of the poison are sometimes frit for 1 many years after the bite is given. But an even more objectionable spider is found ; on the same pampas. It is very large, 1 very a ctlve, and of extraordinarily bad i temper. It not only resents any intrusion j upon Us domain, but objects even to any j one looking over the hedge. Men on horse- ! back who ventured to approach within 1 ten feet of it have been pursued for thirty yards, the splde* keeping up with a troti ting horee. This irritable individual is

From an Indian official report it is learned that in the year 1895, 2,893 persons lost their lives through tigers, panthers, bears, elephants and other wild beasts; 21,538 died from serpent bites, threefourths of which were caused by cobras. Quite 97,000 domestic animals were killed

A queer case of insult of officials came up recently in a Berlin Police Court. A stone mason was ordered by a ponce lieutenant to remove some stones from the highway. He answered in a loud voice that he would do so. The lieutenant objected to the tone of the answer, and arrested him. At the trial the man pleaded that he had used his natural voice, and the court refused to fine him, but reprimanded him for behaving in-
sultingly.

SeeT — Atlanta Constitution. A small pet cat at the suburban electric light-works In Elizabeth. N. J., took a long journey to death last week. There are several very larg* fly-wheels In the plant, and the cat attempted to jump through one. The wheel was revolving at the rate of nearly a mile a mindte. The cat struck a j cross-bar ana clung fast, revolving with the wheel. The engineer did not dare to atop the wheel until next morning. The | cat was then dead. Daring the eighteen hours the cat had been in the whirring , wheel it had traveled about 7S0 mile*. A railroad man who has been In the , West says: "The Santa Fe, Prescott & ! Phoenix railroad lately announced that hereafter it will pay >7 per toead for cat- j tie killed by its trains, and nothing for | horses. To the Easterner this seems a wrong as to the horses, but the fact is i It is generosity on the part of the com- ! pany—actual generosity.

Guns and shells cost money, to say nothing of the time required to kill the animals. In strict equity, the railroad should be paid, say a quarter a head, by the owners for freeing them of a nuisance.’’ P. 8. T. is a nerve and system tonic.
Prayer For ll»e Election.
To the Editor of The Indianapolis News: In your report of the meeting of the Ministerial Association Monday forenoon no reference was made to the subject of
observing Thursday, the 8th, as a day of - humiliation and prayer in view of the u< * uo \ ,aw .*-
approaching election. The day was appointed by the Ministerial Association of Chicago with the recommendation that It be observed in other cities and towns throughout the country. The suggestion was adopted by the ministers in Cincinnati and other cities. I believe. Why our ministers do not Join >n the movement It is difficult to understand. They constantly preach the doctrine that God hears the prayers of His people, that He presides over the destinies of nations, as well as of individuals, and that He invites us to go to HIpa in times of doubt, trial and danger, *md promises wisdom
and help in every time of need.
This, it Is admitted by all, Is a time of critical importance in our nation’s his-
tory,
ever it was needed; when the hearts of
iy
so highly favored. But since the Ministerial Association has forgotten, or deemed it unwise to appoint the day tof, united observance to this end. It is to bs hoped that they will, each In his own church, so observe the usual hour of social prayer on that evening, and on every Thursday evening till the end of ths month. A LAYMAN.

To the Editor of Tha Indianapolis New*: For some time I have been watching tha efforts of our mayor and superintendent of police in the enforcement of law. In your Monday’s issus I was delighted to see that, after one year has passed pver his head, sinco his induction Into office, the superintendent has found a city ordinance and a Federal statute which must be enforced, and In trumpet voice he warns the people, who have been long suffering over nls lethargy, that they must not fling advertising banners to the breese, nor advertise (for McKinley and Hobart) on the old flag. If Mr. Bryan’a visit result* In no other good, it may be that, since tha superintendent has fougd the ordinance referred to, he may be inspired to find that there are other ordinances and State laws which need enforcement. Even as I write "Old Reub,” impersonating Uncle Sam, la passing by In a wagon covered with advertisements, the horse mounted by a dog, the whole outfit decorated with the national colors, while the lusty voice of “Retfb” may be heard for blocks crying out the wares thus advertised^ This In clear violation of Section 1,M6, city or-
dinances. —
Political advertisements, with drum and fife accompaniment, may be seen on ths streets any day? great crowds blockading the sidewalks day and night; street cars ^covered with base-ball and other advertisements, whirling through the streets, to say nothing of glaring violations of ths liquor laws. Now that the eyes of the superintendent have been opened, majr wa not hope that we have entered upon a new era, and that all our statutes and ordinances may be enforced with strict j|in partiality?
