The search light found very few Bryan men last night.

One good word for railroads—they give us railroad men.

All Brooks do not flow on forever. One of them was told last night to "go on."

The railroad men hung out the danger signals. There will be no accident in November.

Mr. Bryan's statement that the present dollar buys too much will hardly b« incorporated into a campaign cry.

Smashed—our 2:01% record in a nasty New England wind on a remote Yankee track, but Maine Is breaking all records this year.

Now that the howling dervishes of Egypt have been whipped we can hope that our own howling dervishes soon will be wiped out along with the free silver "banshee."

The free silver fad did not originate among farmers, but in the mining states. It will be found that farmers are not flypaper to catch the gnats and motes that float on the northwest wind.

Why does Mr. Bryan cackle so much over Bismarck's remarks on bimetallism, which is a very different thing from free silverism? He has been objecting to foreign advice and the aid or consent of any other nation in relation to a world-wide honest money but he is very much pleased with Bismarck's consent that the United States may try to do something to hasten international bimetallism. Bismarck was in power when Germany adopted the single gold standard. He is not willing to advise Germany to drop it but he is perfectly willing for America to try any experiments and burn its fingers, for wise men learn by the mishaps of others.

This is not new but it is as good as ever: If a dollar be a dollar—honest coin, without deceit—one may melt it, one may smelt it, but its value won't retreat.

Melt ten dollars—silver dollars—in unbiased melting pot, and the silver "slug" resulting only sells for "five the lot."

Melt gold dollars—melt an eagle—in aforesaid melting pot—and the golden "slug" resulting quickly sells for "ten the lot."

Will you tell me, kindly tell me. how these dollars equal are—if a little glowing furnace puts on only one a scar?

There was never yet equation that demanded legislation to establish right to be an equation is equation, else it is a fallacy!

And I'm thinking quietly thinking, that a poor man has poor sense if he vote to have a dollar that will melt to fifty cents.

Judge Haliburton's once famous character of Sam Slick Invented a pair of spectacles in which $20 gold pieces were used instead of glasses. It was surprising how far some men could see into a subject with a pair of those optical persuaders on. It is different now, and surprising how the silver dollars are hiding from Americans matters of great pith and moment that are occurring in other parts of the world. We are not much concerned about Cuba, the Philippine Islands, Armenia nor the Soudan. The anti-British papers have little to say about Great Britain stealing some millions of square miles of land in Africa, which is a blessing to the people on the land. The Anglo-Egyptian expedition has been so well equipped and handled that the conquest of Dongola and territory beyond bids fair to be comparatively bloodless ami a vindication of the government in making the advance at this time to rescue a great territory from a barbarous and cruel rule.

Accept no pretended substitute for Dr. Price's Baking Powder. It's the best.

Mr. Joseph C. Sibley has been nominated jr congressman on a silver basis in a nusylrania district of which he is cot a

resident. Mr. Sibley has been riotously in favor of free silver and Populism for a long time but we never knew why. He had made money out of standard oil, bred fine trotting horses and raised a good article in the way of Jersey cattle, but these evidences of a well-lined pocket-book did not account for his devotion to silverism which is the refuge of the bankrupt, the debtor and the discontented, but we know now. Mr. Sibley is rich enough to be ininterested in twenty silver mines, some pf which are in Mexico and he is in favor of getting the government to protect his silver mines in this country and Mexico. The sincerity of Mr. Bryan's attacks upon every man of property, who thinks that he and his financial theories are humbugs, could be tested by his regard for his earnest supporter, Mr. Sibley, the rich corporation man.

MR. BRYAN'S UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR. George III of Great Britain, who used to have spells of insanity, took credit to himself for good wheat crops. During the last few months food stuffs and other products have been shipped in great quantity to other countries, and imports have fallen off, as shown by the declining revenue receipts. The increase of exports and decline of imports have turned the balance of trade in the favor of America and its exports are being paid for with gold instead of European exports. The shipments of wheat and flour are very large now, and it is expected that the foreign trade in cotton will bring in a good deal more of gold.

That modest man, Mr. W. J. Bryan of Nebraska, like George III, takes to himself the credit of the wheat trade and shipment of gold. It would puzzle him to explain how we could get the gold unless it was to pay for something, or how he has 'had any effect on the quantity of stuff shipped out, but he said at Richmond:

I want you to remember that the mere nomination of the candidate for president on a free silver platform has been bringing gold to this country for the last few weeks. My friends, if a nomination will start this much of a flow of gold to the United States, what will be the enormous flow when we actually have a president who is for free silver?

There is only one thing in connection with Bryan's nomination which could bring gold to this country, and that would be a scare about the reserve of gold, which might induce bankers to borrow or buy gold, but if they bought or borrowed,when the course of trade did not bring it here, it would'begin to flow back as soon as it got here. The fact that it does not flow back and keeps on coming makes us look for another reason, the real reason, which is our favorable balance of trade.

George III lost his mind, evidently having some mind to lose. William J. has not lost his mind, but he seems to have no sense of humor or he would laugh at some of the funny things he says in states where the illiteracy is greater than it is in New England.

A POOR YANKEE FARMER. We have heard much of vacant and deserted farms in New England which became deserted because of the western demand for settlers and the competition of western with eastern grain, but the number of idle farms is growing less and New England farmers are making a living on farms that a western farmer would not accept as a gift if he had to work them and keep up the improvements.

Rev. Russell Conwell, an eminent preacher, an ex-editor and soldier, and a man of broad experience, has described a farm in Massachusetts to show what the Yankee can do with a farm with "btun" on it. The farm is quite stony and is situated on the side and top of a rugged hill, eleven miles from a railroad. The owner bought it in 18887 for $2,700, giving a mortgage for $2,000 at 5 per cent to a savings bank. He raised corn and potatoes, had a garden of two acres and cut an average crop of 120 tons of hay. One year, since 1887, he was offered $19 a ton for his hay. He could have paid his mortgage that year. The lowest price hay has reached in his neighborhood has been $10. His hay has averaged nearly $1,800 a year, which would be 5 per cent on a loan of $36,000, so that interest on his debt of $2,000 has not worried him if the mortgage still stands.

There would not be much use in talking free silver to that farmer, nor in condemning banks to him. He has made a pretty good thing out of money borrowed from banks and so have many others.

Bryan would not quote such a farmer's experience as a sign of success under the present money, but he did quote the experience of a school mate, who inherited money and lost it in speculation in raining properties, as a result of the crime of 1S73. Still we hear that Mr. Bryau is an honorable man.

"A gem of purest ray serene" in kitchens is Dr. Price's Baking Powder.

THE BLIGHT OF SILVERISM. A letter to the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser stated that preparations had been made for the organization of a strong com-

chase of agricultural, timber and mining

providing purchasers for porperty and es-

interest. The arrangements ceased after

today a thousand dollars worth of wheat

capitalists not knowing much about Amer- .Ltf

on money lenders, mortgage holders -and corporations, but it makes a difference to the man owning timber and mining properties who cannot sell them for want of customers, or cannot work them for want of money. It makes a difference to idle labor in the South which cannot be hired, because capital is needed by the employers of labor. A free mint would not help the South as much as a lender ready to lend, for mints neither lend nor give. 'v "4

WHEAT UP, SILVER DOWN. Wheat advanced 2% cents and is worth about 64 cents for October. Silver has been declining as wheat advanced.

Wheat advances while Mr. Bryan talks of the impossibility of getting good prices for anything under the present system of money and shows that Bryan does not know what is the trouble. Silver goes down, while he is promising that in less than six months from his election it will be restored to the position it held before 1873. The course of silver is evidence that no one places any reliance upon Bryan's theories or promises. The course of wheat shows that it is independent of silver and is affected by supply and demand without regard to silver. It also shows that the want of money has been the trouble. There is now a heavy demand from Europe from the gold countries, which is putting up the price and there is a short supply over there which increases the demand and raises the price.

Intelligent farmers understand that while Bryan is talking about making silver cheap for them and dear for the silver miners that causes in other parts of the world are working for or against them. They also understand that the trade which comes from the gold countries is the largest and best they have. If, as the impulsive Populists say, "Fifty-cent wheat make Populists," ought tbey not to vote the sound money ticket when prices advance?

THE CRIMINALITY" OF PAYING YOUR BILLS. ~oK One day last week Secretary Carlisle declared formally in a letter that the government, having pledged itself to the maintenance of the parity of silver with gold, would, if all other means failed, exchange gold for the silver dollars coined under the purchase acts, says the New York Press.

To the plain minds of straightforward men there is nothing startling about this statement of policy. It is a policy that follows so obviously from the position of the government in coining and issuing these dollars on its own account that long befora Mr. Carlisle's letter was written we stated it to our inquiring readers as the ultimate means of maintaining the parity. That common honesty which is necessary to the continuity of human intercourse dictates the policy. The government has in labor or labor's product,- received the value of a gold dollar for every one of these silver dollars which it has paid out. So, without regard to the absolute economy of the government's preserving the integrity of the currency at the cost of issuing bonds to redeem in gold every dollar of silver obligations, it is plain that, according to the most rudimentary system of morals known to savage races, the policy indicated by Mr. Carlisle is an indispensable one. The government has contracted with the whole people to keep its silver money as good as its gold money, and, having issued this silver money in payment of its debts, it has, received a valuable consideration, as the lawyers say, for its performance of the contract.

It is thus that this proposition to redeem silver dollars in gold must strike any plain man. In fact, we have found throughout I fcer

the campaign a widespread belief that

those dollars are customarily redeemed in

gold. The mind unused to the expedients of finance conceives no other method for the government's fulfillment of its promise! But this is how it struck Mr. Bryan, according to his Washington speech: "I am glad that our opponents are revealing, step by step, their heartless, mer-

Partially Explored Last January Bat LlttU Beyond the Bare Fact of Its Dia- .. covery Made Known,

That a mammoth cave was discovered in Maine and partially explored last January is quite generally known, though little beyond the bare fact of the discovery and exploration has been made public, says the Boston Herald. P. O. Gould, superintendof the City Hospital in Old Town, went on an exploring expedition through the lum bering region in the extreme northern part of Maine, and was for a short time in caipp on the shore, or near the shore, of Allegash Lake, some fifty miles or more north of Moorehead Lake, and not so very far from the north end of Chamberlain Lake. Allegash Lake is accessible only by tote roads from Chesuncook Lake up to Chamberlain, thense by crossing to the westward through the woods to Tom Lawler's camps on the lake shore.

Mr. Gould was at Lawler's lower camp when he heard that a lumberman had dis covered a cavern of considerable magnitude some distance beyond Lawler's most northern camp, and being curious about the matter he decided upon investigating the story for himself. The result of his investigation was told to the writer, who soon after went to the lumbering regions in search of adventure, but could not then visit the wonderful cave,

It seems that in the early part of last January a workman who was stopped at Lewler's camp, while tramping on the shore near the northwestern corner of Allegash Lake, three-fourths of a mile or so from the camp, discovered a hole in the side of the hill which had never before been heard of. The discovery came about in rather a remarkable manner, and a hundred men might have gone as near to the opening as this man did and never have noticed it. This workman, however, noticed the pe culiar appearance of the bushes about it, and investigated, finding the hole. The bushes looked as though steam or hot air had been thrown upon them and then frozen. The man peered into the hole, and was so startled when he could not see the end of it that he fled in fright. He told the story, but was not believed until the following Sunday, when fifteen men went to Investigate and found it just as he had said. The fifteen men, however, did not dare to enter the hole.

Decided to Investigate.

The excitement over the affair had not died out in the camp when Gould came along and expressed the determination to enter the hole and find out what was Inside. After considerable effort he succeeded in inducing three men, Steve Buzzell of Old Town, one of the lawyers, and a man named Howe, to go with him, though all were thoroughly convinced that Gould did not have the courage to enter the cave. In this, however, they proved very much mistaken, for he went about the task at once upon their arrival at the opening.

When the party reached the mouth of the cave lanterns were lighted, and a vestibule of the labyrinth was entered. The men found it a good sized passage, and walked in about ten or twelve feet without the least difficulty. Then they came to a great bowlder stuck right in their path. After feeling about they found a hole on each side of the bowlder, which they estimated to weigh ten or twelve tons, through which a man could crawl. After some hesitation Mr. Gould crept through one of the holes and found a large open space on the opposite side of the mass of rock. The other men then crept through the narrow space, and the party began a thorough investigation of the surroundings, which were far different from anything they had ever before seen.
