•ATURDAY. NOVEMBER 21 1.H96.

TUK judgment of the American, people in the recent election has been justified by a recent announcement, Mr. Bryan Is goiu« to write a book.

MK. liftVA

N

and Secretary Jones are

hunting game in southern Missouri. It is to be hoped that they will have better success than they had in hnnting votes recently.

W'IM.IAM ,F. BKVAN, as the candidate of a great party for the presidency, was an interesting figure, but as the walking delegate of the union of silver mine workers of the went, he isn't even interesting.

A vorxo unmarried woman in Chicago is delivering a series of lectures to mothers on how to raise children. They are chiefly noticeable by the hick of information she displays on this important subject.

A (fKouoiA editor went insane this week and when found wandering in the woods was looking for his head, which he claimed he had lost. It is hardly necessary to say that he supported the Populist ticket in the recent election against the regular Democratic candidates.

TIIK opponents of secret socities received a fresh supply of ammunition this week. An Illinois lady died just as she was about to say a prayer at the opening of a secret society for women, and an Iowa man died as a result of injuries received while being initiated into the Klks.

TIIK. vote in Kentucky was so close thui. the politicians down there have made up their minds that the egging of Secretary Carlisle at Covington, which created such hard feelings against the free silverites wtiodid the work, practically lost them the state. They have probably learned a lesson they will never forget.

TIIK MAII.'S complements to the Rockville Tribune, with the gentle reminder that the election is over and the time is past, for the present, at least, for its editor to exercise his peculiar accomplishment of designating as dishonest, and thu "tool of corporate greed," all those who disagree with him in his eccentric views.

WOMAN

snrt'rage carried the day in

Idaho, and the women out there will hereafter have a chiyice to vote In all elections, unless? the courts rtil^ against them on a technicality, if the Idaho women get to vote, that state will be the fourth to give that privilege to the gentler sex. The others are Utah, Wyoming and Colorado.

TIIK Populists want to emphasize their complete power in Kansas by passiug a law making it a felony to engage in a game of football. The decision results from the death of a football player in a game at Lawrence last week. If they do uothing worse than this with their Populistic legislature in Kausas they can be forgiven tor many other things they will do.

THIS administration has succeeded in getting itself very thoroughly disliked by those who are candidates for consular positions under the incoming administration, by making serious reductions in the emoluments of consuls. It is said to be a fact that Secretary Olney has amended the consular regulations so as materially to reduce the fees that have heretofore been enjoyed by the consuls-general at London, Liverpool, Paris and elsewhere. These places are now worth very little more than their salaries, which are #5,000, although formerly, through the collection of notarial fees that were not authorized but simply overlooked by the government, they paid Anywhere from $15,000 to $25,500 a year.

THE next Iudiana legislature will no doubt be called upon to act on many foolish bills, hut the most foolish of all will be that providing for the expenditure of thousands of dollars of the people's money in inaugurating and maintaining an exposition at Indianapolis in 1900. Expositions are all right In their way, bnt so many of the citieens, who will have to foot the bills for the 1900 exposition, have seen the greatest one evipr conceived that the Indiana show will seem like a dismal sideshow. The Indianapolis Journal very sensibly M«ys: "Perhaps, after All. as fine a centennial exhibit as Indiana could make in 1VOO would be that of a well governed state with all the modern improvements and wholly or nearly out of debt. The exposition idea does not grow in favor, and unless something better can be suggested the Idea of a formal and-expensive celebration had better be dropped."

THK state of Indiana is petting into a

tolerably good financial condition At a meeting this week of the state finance board. cvmp»sod of the state officer*. th treasurer was authariiwd to pay off fjrto, 00ft of state bonds, upon which the «r*te holds an option. Since the prwnt ad* 1st ration assumed control of the state tmtueut less than two years *yo W of the state debt has been liquidated, and therv l» now left in the nei^hbortuK*! of funded debt with no sl.Mihc debt. It is estimated that if the 'ax continue to be enforced as they are

JT*

ent the state debt can. with the »me I tax lew that now exist*, be wiprd ou

within the next eight years. The .reduction of the debt during the past two years has caused a heavy reduction in the inter est charges, for nearly all the high-priced outstanding bonds have been taken up, and those now out bear a low rate of interest.

THE head of the seceding branch of the Salvation Army, the Volunteers, Ballington Booth, has some unusually good ideas of the large missionary Held open to all church workers. When asked recently his opinion with regard to his methods of reaching the unchurched, he said it was a mistake to think of them as confined to the slums that they included a great number of lawyers, physicians, business men, artists, and even former ministers thousands and milions of them have never given a serious thought to religion. In the effort to reach these be said he would always scrupulously avoid sending to them any persons not qualified by actual touch with them and sympathy for them. He said there is incalculable harm done by •ending among them people who have not a real, honest desire to help and bless and save them "the churchless must find in those who bring the church to them a burning reality and sincere owners to help. Anything like patronage will be iustantly resented and discarded by them."

THE FARMERS.

The most maligned people in the country, and the best natured under adverse circumstances, are the farmers. Whenevera newspaper, comic or otherwise, desires to print a picture of a farmer he makes of him a caricature of which the chief feature is a little bunch of whiskers on his chin. In the past campaign the opponents of the present monetary system made their chief claims to success on the supposition that the farmers were all in debt, and would vote for free silver because they would then have an opportunity to pay their debts in mon^y worth one half that they had borrowed. The farmers seem to have resented the insinuation that they wanted to beat their creditors out of half their money, as their vote was decisively in favor of the present gold standard, as an analysis of the vote will show. Nearly all the great agricultural states gave their electoral votes to McKinley. Minnesota, in proportion to its population, gave as large a majority against Bryan as did the manufacturing states, the excess of McKinley's vote over Bryan's being nearly 50,000. Iowa, with no large cities, gave McKinley 72,000 majority. In Michigan the Republican i.'.idatehad 50,000 majority, of which

I ^ave but 7,000. In Wisconsin McKinley had 100,000 majority. Taking out the majority in Milwaukee, the chief city, which was 9,000, it will be seen the state at large gave over 90,000 majority against free silver. In Illinois McKinley went up to Cook county with over 80,000 majority. In Indiana McKinley had about 18,000 majority, of which (5,(XX) came from Indianapolis, which would still leave him in the lead throughout the state. In Ohio the Republican majority was about 53,000. In Cincinnati and Cleveland the majorities were respectively 19,000 and 3,500. This leaves the majority in the state after deducting the votes of the two largest cities over 38,000. North Dakota strictly an agricultural state, gave a majority against silver, and in South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Wyoming the voting population was about evenly divided. Crossing the mountain states, which went for silver, it is found that the coast states of California, Oregou and Washington, whose chief industries are agricultural, are quite evenly divided. The first two went for McKinley and the third for the free-silver candidate. It is only when the agricultural states of the South are reached that the farming vote is found to be heavily in favor of free silver, and there the vote would be expected to be Democratic anyway. The talk, then, of Mr. Bryan, that the farmers were in favor of free silver because under it the could buy flfty-three cents' worth of silver, and have it coined to pay one dollar's worth of debts is proven to be untrue. The farmers are all right. They are more honest than those who assail them, they read more, and they are past the stage of life and learning when they can be led off by some new fad. All credit to the farmers for their stability and independence.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

A Bit of I rish Wit.

Some time ago while I was trading in a village store one of the clerks came to the junior partner, who was waiting on me, and said: "Please step to the desk. Pat Flynn wants to settle his account and wants a receipt."

The merchant was evidently annoyed. "Why, what does he want of a receipt?" he said. ?*We never give one. Simply cross bis account off the book. That is receipt enough." "So I told him," answered the clerk, "bnt.heisnot satisfied. Yon had better see him."

So the proprietor stepped to the desc, and, after, greeting Pat with a ''Good morning," said: "Yon want to settle your bill, yon?'"

Pat replied in the affirmative. "Well," said the merchant,'"there is no need of my giving yon a receipt See, I will cross yonr account off the book," and, suiting the action to the word, he drew his pencil diagonally across the account. "That is a good receipt "And do yon mane that that settles it?" exclaimed Pat "That settles it," said the merchant. "And you're sure you'll never be askin me foi it again?" "We'll never ask you for it agaiy," said the merchant decidedly. "Faith, thin/'said Pat, "I'll be after kapin me money in me pocket, for I haven't paid it" "Oh, well, I can rub that out." "Faith, now, and I thought the same," said Pat

It is needless to add that Pat got his receipt —Romance.

An Honest Judge.

"One of the most honest men who ever lived was Judge Arthur Shields," said C. R. Markham of Cheyenne. "He was on the bench in the early days of Kansas, and I was one of the lawyers who practiced in his court Upon one oocasion I was conducting a case in which I had perfect confidence when the trial began, but before it had progressed far the evidence against my client's side of the controversy was so strong and so unexpected that I saw the case was hopeless. I fully believed the witnesses lied, but could not shake them by cross examination, and it looked as though my client would lose his property. Judge Shields had decided every question with perfect fairness, and it could not be seen that he was in any way interested nntil suddenly he called to an attorney, 'Mr. Black, take the bench for the rest of this case 'then, turning to mo, be said: 'Have me sworn as a witness. I will not see a man robbed in this court in matters of which I am personally cognizant.' He took the stand, and his testimony saved the case for me. The other side appealed, but the judge was sustained, the only case of the kind in the books."—Washington Star.

Cremations.

It is noteworthy that though in each of the American crematories more men than women have been cremated tho movement abroad was practically begun by women, Lady Dilke of England and a German woman having been cremated at Dresden. When efforts were made in the years 1873-4 on the continent of Europe, in England and in the United States in favor of the cremation of the dead, Lady Rose Mary Crawshay was one of its prominent advocates. A number of well known women in this country have es^ressed themselves decidedly in favor of cremation. Among them are Olive Thorne Miller, Mrs. Lippincott, Mrs. J. C. Croly, Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Mrs. Alice D. Le Plongeon, the late Kate Field, Rose Elizabeth Cleveland and Edith Thomas. At a public meeting Mrs. Ballington Booth referred to the time when her body should be carried to the crematory. Tho total number of cremations in the Unit ed States from 1876, when the first crematory was established, to the close of 1895, was reported to be 4,647. The number of men cremated in New York is more than double the number of women.—New York Tribune.

"I Love Too!"

"I love you!" Ob, what mnsio there was in those words as they flowed melliflnoosly— which mean8 something about honey— from her parted lips. Her lips were parted in the middle. "I love yon!"

The songs of the birds in the trees overhead seemed jangling and out of tone in comparison with these words of her. "I love you I"

Aye, for such a one as she kings, and even actors, wonld have given up their all and fallen captive at her feet *'I love youT* *f

And he? Did his heart leap within him? Did his panting breath denote the ardor of his longing to clasp her in bis arms? Did he fall on bended knee and cry: "And I love thee!"

No. He gave a blithe bark and wagged his tail, for he knew be was her favorite poodle.—'New York Journal.

Wbw Yon Bee It Xn Print. A sensitive man is never so humiliated as when be is obliged to read his own proofs. Type mocks the writer. The sentence that in manuscript moved with the stride of an armed man or danced as a swooning strain of Strauss is now limp and lame. The phrase that glowed with color is now pallid. Sparkling wit is flat Sage reflection is jejune. The thought, 'Shall I ever the money for this?" is jostled by, wonld be fool enough to pay $or it?' 'nr. Boston Journal. v-
