Thy BmIi Tor Tbelr Claim—The Rceeat Change In Sentiment Bryan's VUlt A Frost*

Keokuk, la., Oct 12.—The past week has ihown remarkable activity In political circles. The notable event among the sllverItes wag the Bryan meeting- at Burlington, forming apart of the semi-centennial celebration of the Mate Which embraced a number of special events, covering several days. Great preparations had been made in anticipation of Bryan's coming, and the railroads made ready for a rush. In this there was great disappointment. As a drawing card, Mr. Bryan did not exceed other attractions which Burlington offered during the carnival week, and, while a great crowd gathered on the streets as the Bryan parade passed in review, there were numerous ihoutfl for McKinley, while the people gazed upon the great free sliver agitator much the same as they would have inspected any other curiosity for which they had paid the price of admission. In point of fact, the crowd was coldly critical, and, in a political Bense, the visit did not prove of advantage to party interests.

If the people have labored under the delusion that the state of towa is being swept by the free silver wave, it may be dismissed. Never before in the campaign history of the state have the Republicans been so sanguine of success, and if surface indications count for anything, there is reason for their faith. All over the state the greatest interest is Bhown. There is no trouble In securing an audience. A great factor In Iowa politics is the old soldier. No state In proportion to Its resources did more for the northern oause in the stirring days of 1861-'65 than did this commonwealth, and today the Bame zeal is being shown. While it is true that more particularly the agricultural regions "were inoculated with the free silver craze, and had the election soon followed the Chicago convention there is no telling what might have been the result yet, with time to think, there has been a wonderful revulsion in public sentiment, and the yeomanry are more disturbed over what might result if declarations in the platform should be put in operation than they are interested in any possible advantage which might arise from Mr. Bryan's financial views.

There is a strong sound-money movement in this state among the old line Democrats, and in some of the districts, notably at Dubuque and Burlington, where there is an overwhelming German community, and in this city, the sound-money clubs constitute one of the principal features of this, in many respects, unique campaign. In this (Lee) county, thero has been for years Democratic control, except, perhaps, in isolated case3, where local issues prevailed, and the Republicans have been forced to combat the very men who now, either by means of the movement for Palmer and Buckner, or else In outright support, are aiding in the flection of McKinley. The club in this city, nearly three hundred strong, embraces the cream of the party in the Iowa "pocket"— manufactures, professional men and men In all lines of life—and their influence is distinctly felt. They have established headquarters on one of the principal streets and

Cole,

at the manner in which their party It being wrecked'by mere place-hunter*, jeopardizes Mr. Bryan most seriously "For the sake of preserving Jhir p&rty organization, 'insuring the success oI the reform principles and solidifying the Populist vote for Mr. Bryan, I have repeatedly asked that justice be done the Populist national ticket In Kansas and Colorado. I have also felt free to condemn the deal in North Carolina, by which Populist votes are expected to give a majority in the electoral college to Mr. Sewall. This assignment is not only unjust on the face of it, but may defeat itself by disgusting the Populists. In other words, it has seeme9 to me that the very best way to assure Mr. Bryan the Populist votes necessary to make his election was to treat the populists fairly, as friends, allies, not as mere political Hessians, who bad been hired to fight, and Who could be disposed of as the whims and self-intefreSts Of the hirers must dictate. "In continually calling attention to this Weak point in our lines, my purpose has been to help Mr. Bryan, not to hurt him. At no time have I uttered the sentiment that Bryan must be defeated unless Watson could be elected. At no time have I harbored such a feeling. At. this time, as upon all other occasions, I have felt the supreme importance of Bryan's election, regardless of what might happen to either Sewall or Watson, but I havp also felt that, in their stubborn, unyielding and insulting policy of trying to force the Populists to vote for Sewall in these fusion deals, the Democratic managers were clearly making a sacrifice of Bryan in the interests of Sewall. "Thomas B. Watson."

BISHOPCHATARD'S APPROV/

Regards Archbishop Ireland's Utterances as Timely. The Rt. Rev. Francis F. Chatard, Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese of Indiana, and in politics a sound money Democrat, was asked by the Indianapolis News for an expression of opinion concerning the statement of Archbishop Irelahd on the political situation. He says: "The statement of Archbishop Ireland, published by the Associated Press this morning, is most opportune. I am glad the archbishop gave it out, and feel that he has rendered a service to the country. Expressing my individual opinion, as he does, I consider that what he says about the Chicago platform, its socialistic features subversive of our institutions, and the disastrous consequences of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, a matter of secondary importance, however, is exaotly true. "The archbishop is a Republican and I am a sound money Democrat, and, therefore, I differ from the purely political portions of the statement. But I am heartily with him in the condemnation of the proposed interference with the Supreme Court and the freedom of action of the president in protecting the rights of the United States government. Especially do I join With him in deploring the arraying of class against class, and the resulting bad and dangerous sentiments that may have the saddest consequences. It sesms to me to be the duty of every good citizen to set his face against such a state of things, and use whatever influence he has to counteract it."

As showing the way the tide is drifting,

The semi-centennial at Burlington and the soldiers' reunion in this city brought hero many Republicans from evfery quarter of the state, as well as men of all political beliefs, and it developed the general belief that Iowa would give a majority in excess of 40,000 for the McKinley ticket. Campaign workers in this portion of the state profess to assert that if the majority falls below 60,000 it will be a disappointment.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM WATSON

How Bryan's Chance* Are Endangered— His Own Views. New York, Oct. 12.—A dispatch to the World from Thompson, Ga., says: "New York papers have alluded to the editorial, 'No Watson, no Bryan,' which appeared in the People's party paper of last week, and they attributo It to me. This Is erroneous. 1 resigned the editorship of the People's party paper Just after the campaign opened. Mr. James L. Sibley, the present editor, wrote the article alluded to.

My protest against fusion is not so much that it pushes me off the ticket, as it compels Populists to vote for a man who does not represent their principles, and whom their national convention rejected at St Louis. "Partly for that reason. Populists seeing this, grew discontented, and their discontent threatens the success of Bryan. Especially does the situation in Kansas and Colorado endanger Bryan's success in other states. The fact that these Populist states have put out no Populist ticket, and the entire electoral has been sold to he Democrats for local offices, spreads indignation among the Populists in every state in the Union.

He declared yesterday: "I have had her examined by some leading specialists in mental diseases, and have no doubt that the judge will admit that her symptoms are such as to warrant a defense of kleptomania. She suffers from pain in the head, from complete loss of memory and from other singularities, which according to medical science, are known to be frequently associated with delusions. Her case will be decided In a month or six Weeks. We shall apply for bail for her again next Wednesday and I hope she will be released on the bond we can offer. "The whole fact of the matter is, in short, that Mrs. Castle did take these articles, but her husband is perfectly innocent of any knowledge whatever of her doing so."

MR. BAYARD'S LETTER

THE AMBASSADOR BBPCDIAtIM TBI CBIOAGO JnuATro&M*

The Duty of Democrats Pointed Out— An Appeal Cor Palmer and ftaekne*. 'i

Wilmington, Del., October 12.—In a letter to Samuel Bancroft, Jr., editor of Every Evening, the Hoti. Thomas F. Bayard, tJhlted States ambassador to Great Britain, has repudiated the platform and nominees of the Democratic convention, held at Chicago, and advises constitutional Democrats to vote at the approaching election for Messrs. Palmer and Buckner, the nominee* of the Indianapolis convention. The letter la dated at London, September 30th.

Mr. Bayard's letter in part is as follows: "My Dear Mr. Bancroft—It seems scarcely possible that any one could be in doubt in relation to my personal opinion upon the very serious issue now placed before our countrymen by the machinery of the several political organizations. When a citizen professing himself to be a Democrat is called upon by many or by few, to yield his convictions and assent to the doctrine that congress has the power and can rightfully exercise it by its legislative fiat, to create values arid regardless of their intrinsic or commercial value, to invest one or the other of the earth's metals with an arbitrary power as money and override and alter at legislative will or oaprtW th4'r4tlo of the exchangeability of such metal, regardless of the impairment of the obligation of contracts, his answer should be that such a claim of power is not consistent with a government of limited powers as defined by our constitution, but contains the quintescence of tyranny, dishonesty "and absoluteism, and is destructive of that morality which is essential to the peace and stability of civilized society. It is in plain words a proposition to destroy the institution of property and break down every legal defense for its protection. "This one question, and it is answered sufficiently, justifies the proilipt add absolute refusal of a constitutional Democrat to support, in any degree, the nominees of the Chicago convention (Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall), and the preposterous claims (^legislative power contained in their platform under which the credit of the nation" and the peace and order of society would" inevitably perish.

The Republican Position. 'r

"On the other hand, we have the Republican organization, whose measures, and leaders have steadily created such a ticket and such propositions as were presented'at Chicago. While compelled to recoil.lrom the policy of compulsory purchase and coinage of silver as an unlimited legal tender, yet it is insistently proposed to employ and intensify the profound powers of public taxation, to prohibit commerce with other countries, and thereby prevent revenue from coming into the public treasury, to levy taxes which shall prevent the payment and collection of other taxes necessary for the support of the government, whose powers are exerted directly and personally upon each individual citizen, and over every part of land or water within it's national boundaries. "Every constitutional Democrat can truly reply to such propositions, that they are fraught with such gross inequity between men as are inconsistent with public safety, because they employ the most far-reaching and sovereign power known to governm^pt, to impoverish the working and poorer -members of society (who form the great major-

ity), and aggrandize those already flnan

cially stronger. *. Every Democrat,

faithful to the principles of his party, can properly refuse to aid in the election of candidates avowing principles and policies which have plainly led to our present dangers, and which are manifestly fatal to the welfare of our country.

"But, happily, there remains a citadel and an asylum for the political conscience of any man honestly convinced that the path of duty leads him to keep steadily in

TRUE COURTESY DEFINED.

Kind of Neglect That Is Bad Form and Poor Pollcv. Of all the ingredients that go toward the making up of what is known as "good form" the most impartant is courtesy, observes the Philadelphia Telegraph. It is a quality the possession of which distinguishes the gentletaan from the cad and has its origin not merely in breeding and education, but also in the heart, and that is why you sometimes find it in ah ignorant laboring man, while it is often conspicuously absent In the well-dressed, highly educated man of means. Lord Chesterfield, that celebrated arbiter of the elegance of everyday life, when asked to define courtesy, replied that it was "the result of a good deal of good sense, a considerable amount of good nature, a little renunciation of self for the love of one's neighbor and the hope of obtaining the same indulgence from others." Consideration for the feelings of others is the keynote of true courtesy and when you find this regard for the sentiments of one's fellow creatures carried to the length of self-sacrifice and unselfishness you have before you the basis and foundation of gool fcrsn.

How important is the part which courtesy plays in the social system is apparent from the vast number cf customs and practices that have no other reisDn than the desire to avoid giving unnecessary pain, and, while in Europe and America, these customs, designed to smoath away and soften the acerbities inherent in everyday life, constitute what may be described as unwritten law, out in China no less than 3,000 rules relating to courtesy figure as fullfledged statutes in the national codes. Pekin &nd the other great cities possessing special tribunals charged with Ihe duty of washing over these social observances as well as of punishing any infractions thereof.

There is but small reel of recommending men to be courteous to girls and to young women, whose freshness of mind and physique, as a rule, command the fullest tribute of masculine respect. And we are usually induccd' to ba pleasant mannered

BALLOONS TO SAVE LIFE.

Airships Harnessed to Lifeboats the Latest Invention. The balloon has become & marine lifesaving appliance. The big ocean greyhounds will soon, it is thought, be equipped with life-fioats harnessed to balloons so as to be practically unsinkable. This novel device has been patented by a shrewd Connecticut Yankee, says the New York Herald.

While the combination boat will doubtless prove of the greatest service in saving people far out at sea, it will not be available at life-saving stations. The wind is usually blowing shoreward when vessels are in danger, and for this reason it would be almost impossible to force the boat, hampered by the balloon, to the assistance of a craft. .'

In a recent test made lh the CohnecU6Ut river, near Middletown, it was shown that even with the boat filled with water to the gunwales, the lifting power of the balloon prevented the craft from either sinking or upsetting.

The boat was contsructed under Mr. Riley's direction, and is 10 feet in length. Cylinders filled with compressed gas were placed in compartments and from these the balloon, which was harnessed with cords to a hollow rtast connected with the cylinders, was inflated. The mast, which Is of gaspipe, is adjustable, and, when turned forward, the big balloon acted as a sail, oars proving quite unnecessary.

The mxist Interesting and convincing portion of the exhibition was when tthe passengers and crew were landed and the boat filled with water. Even with the extra submersion the boat floated along with scarcely a perceptible decrease in speed.

By the simple process of reversing the pumps, the inventor showed how he could pump the gas from the balloon back into the cycllnders. Some of the gas was then burned as a beacon light, which could be seen for many miles around. With this and a reflected signal flashes can be made which would be certain to attract the attention of passing vessels.

Another claim of the Inventor is that it can, by being launched from a sinking vessel secure aid from shore before a llfesaving' crew, even though ready, could shoot a line riboard. Often, owing to a strong wind directly off shore, the life savers are unable to place a life line so that it can be of assistance.

The difficulty is met by Mr. Riley, who has supplied his boat with a line. The boat, he claims, when supported by the balloon, could, even without a crew, be header! for the shore, and, owing to its remarkable buoyancy* would have little difficulty in ridine breakers and getting within reach of the lifesavers.

RUN IN AS A COUNTERFEITER.

Perils of Offering Now Sliver Certificates In Kant Side Saloon* "Well, this is something like," said John Henry Gudemann. as he pocketed his week's Wages in the shape of five new orisp silver certificates, with the portrait of General Grant on the front page, indicating that they were good for $5 in silver coin. "I like new bills, because you have no trouble with them. Bkerybody knows them, and there is no ki»k."

Then John Henry drifted into an Bast Side saloon and took a drink or two to "wet" his roll before he took it home to^hls wife ftnd babies, says the New York World. He tossed one of the bills on the bar with a careless,

air, and

waited for his change. Tho barkeeper picked the money up ginrcily, eyed it suspiciously, turned it over excitedly, held it off loathingly and said disdftiiiuiliy: "8&e here! dis don't go. It's queer. Did yer tink I was conle-.in to ba fooled by Such stuff as dat?" "Come off." said Mr. Gudemann, "that money's all right" "Money! Dat ain't money. Pat's green goods," persisted the barkeeper.

The conversation was beginning to wox warm, When the barkeeper ran to the door and summoned a passing cop. The offending bill was passed to him for inspeo'.ton, and after eyeing it at long and close ranges he solemnly pronounced 't "hnguM.1' "Guess I'll have to run ynu In,"' he paid. "You must take us for oysters down here.

Fifteen minutes later Johi lleory Gudemann was facing a hawk-eyeil servant in the Eliridge street station house. The latter took one look at the bill :»nd said th.U tho counter!tit was so poor that he wandered a man had the cheek to attempt to pa?s it In New York. He told John Henry Gudemann that he was good for fifteen years at least, and ordered him rent below with great severity. A search of the prisoner clcthes brought to 1'gV four more notes, which had evidently lust bceu tossed oft from the

counterfeiting plates,

Next mc.rhlng the prisoner was arraigned In Etsex Market court, and the rmgistr£te scarcely looked at the bills, s.i ex'ident was their bogus character. "Youn? man," lie said severely, "don't you know that ytU are engaged in. mighty dangerous business? The government of the United States will Love to attend to your case, and It nevelets up when It is after ojtinterfeit money."

Then John Henry got tna-1. "See here," he yelled, "I'll bet my week's salary that that money ain't counterfeit You're a pack of 'blumgagoes,' that's what you are. I got It from one of the best firms in thlB town, gosh blame it all!"

The magistrate looked a little Startled at this outburst, and being a magistrate of good sense sent out a messenger with the offen-Jlu? bill to the nearest bank with instructions to find out how much of a counterfeit it was anyway. The answer came back: "Good as gold."

Then John Henry went home, leaving a trail of profanity behind him and the siokest lot of policemen that ever attempted to pose as ready Counterfeit detectors.

QUEER PENSION LIST NAMES.

Uncle Sam'* Curious Collection of Veterans of Vitrloim Warii The Washington governmental bureaus have always possessed the happy faculty of turning out various orders for freaks and queer ideas, but the latest production in this line is a list of bona fide pensioners or applicants whose namfes, If originality alo^e were considered, would leave that of the imaginary King Geranlmoseadolphusbt of Africa away in the background, says the Philadelphia Times.

The peculiar idea seems to have entered the heads Of three officials of the pension bureau at about the same time, each unaware of the others' intention, and for ten or twelve years they made entries of peculiarly odd names that came before them officially. Whenever, in looking over the rolls, & name of unusual pronunciation or Construction appeared, it was Immediately jotted down on a pocket list I to be kept for personal pleasure. But th9 other day the three became acquainted of their mutual curiosity for gathering names, and a consolidated list was the result.

Some of the names appear So ridiculous AS to seem impossible for a human being to ha designated by such a conglomeration of letters, but their authenticity is vouched for, as they appear upon the very rolls of the United states pension bureau, and pensions are paid or applications are* as yet pending with these freak inscriptions upon them. None Of the nameB was alteted in any respect to give them the apearance of uniqueness. It would not be possible for anyonrf to make a parallel list, as the collection represents many years of thfe pleasant task of looklug them up. Then, too, the perusal of ths peti' sion lists by persons not officials is prohibited by law.

As the oddity of the names Will be better illustrated by means of assembling th6m into characteristic groups, the three officials took pains to have this done. First upon the list comes Preserved Ireland, At. J. Yankee, Mexico Washington and Alfred Constantinople. Then follows a few in the hardware line, such as Minerva Ilatchett, John Hammer and George Ax.

Peter Beets, James Bean, Susan Cale. John Garllck, Daniel Mustard are associated in the pension office with John Meats. John Ham, Thomas Tongue, W. H. Lamb, David Mutton, W. T. Kidney, Samuel Heart, William F*Ish, Samuel Crab, William Oyster and Jacob Herring. One at the most peculiar— and Its peculiarity Is more pronounced as it Is written clearly with a hyphen—Is A-datn Buzzard and along with the Buzzard crmes George R. Swallow, Thomas Lark, William fowl, Hiram Fowler and Pleasant Green Swan. The Raines law is supposed to control the liquor traffic In New York, and nearly every city has Its regulation against Sunday opening, but here is a Co!nblnation that can do business all the year round: Isham Vinegar. John P- Dry, John Sourb-er. James SoUrwlhe, George M. Goodruni, Benjamin Sherry and D. 8. Goodal*. And If they did, probably some of thair ns'omers would be Andrew Laugh, David Jolly.

It is impossible to defend bad ttafca -Hut or.o should bear in mind that to overestimate the importance of taste is tn be lacking in it oneself, and \Vhen Mr. Andrew Lang attributes his youthful yawuings over tho "Siegeof Ooririth" to the monitions of the Zeitgeist, and argues from thero that Byron's' poetry is superficial and ephemeral, one may say that his taste lacks at leart the element of catholicity. On i,he wholo, the only remedy for culture that errs through eclectic limitedness is perhaps more culture, and it may very Toil lxj o: of tho ironies of The Zeitgeist that tho critic, onoe subject to the thrall of culture, must keep on cultivating his mind and taste as well as his art if he would avoid remaining in the enchnnted land of dilettantism instead of reaching tho serene heights of ibhe celestial City.

It is to bo remembered that such authoritative apostles df culture as Goetlio and Matthew Arnold agree with "Mr. Henley and the poet laureate" rather than with Mr. Lang as to Byron, that Goethe called him "the greatest talent of (the country," and that Arnold prophesied. "Wo shall turn our ay

Filtering Water For Steam Bollerfc Given a good boiler filter and some suitable means of Circulating the water, any boiler owner who iustalls a plant of this kind in a section where much lime is contained in the feed wator will find it a well paying investment. It will not only do away with all expanse of frequent cleaning of boilers and reduce the cost of repairs, but it will also greatly lengthen tha life of a boiler. In a section of country where the water is so bad that the life of a boiler is only from 9 to 15 months this device has been in use on the same kind of boilers for a number of years, with praotically no expense for repairs. It does not need any argument, moreover, to prove that from 20 to 50 per cent moro water can bo evaporated per pound of fuel with a well arranged, clean boiler than With one that is badly scaled, and that the danger from a clean boiler is muoh less than from a dirty one is self evident—William H.
