The rowdy celebration of Hallow'een is due this week. It will be remembered there were some outrageous performances last year.

Mr. Bryan's temperament is changing rapidly from that of one who has been living in an upper atmosphere of hope and ecstacy to that of a deceived and disappointed candidate, who is beginniag to realize what his fate Is to be. He is beginning to snap and snarl as if he were in th? incipient stage of rabies.

Mr. Bryan, in endeavoring to show at Peoria that it was dignified for him to run around and speak, said Mr. Lincoln had spoken at Peoria in 1S60. Mr. Lincoln would have made such an event dignified by his own greatness, which Mr. Bryan could not, but, as the Times-Herald says, this is another example of Bryan's ignorance of past ©vents. Mr. Lincoln was at home In Springfield during his campaign and spoke at Peoria in 1858 during the debate with Douglas.

The candidate who accuses the gold standard of hindering young men from going to college will not think a college education is a good thing when he learns that at Harvard 1,811 students declared for McKinley and 109 for Bryan. At Dartmouth 371 were tor McKinley and 27 for Bryan. At Michigan there were 177 for Bryan out of 1,480 and at Leland Stanford, out in California, *00 were for McKinley and 100 for Bryan. Of 179 professors at Ann Arbor 177 were for Mr. McKinley, and at the University of Nebraska only 5 out of 61 professors were for Bryan.

Food prepared with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is pure and good.

Sound money men should not waste any time this week discussing the money question with sllverites or with Democrats who are willing to swallow whatever their party leaders offer to them. It will do no good to push a debate to the verge of anger. Op.ponents are not converted by making them mad. If there are men who really want to know, who are fair enough to say they want to v&te right without regard to party, a tem

perate discussion may be profitable, but

the many Mr. Bryan

How are we to account for things which are not so that says?

At Brooklyn, he quoted Mr. Beecher as believing in the views held by him, but it waB shown that Mr. Beecher was a determined opponent of everything like free sil ver. He has quoted sentences from Abraham Lincoln to show that the great man held extreme views against capital, but if he had not suppressed the next sentence it would have been shown that Mr. Lincoln said that both capital and labor had rights that should be protected and that there was good to be said of each. Mr. Bryan has said that the government cannot be induced to coin some of the silver bullion and put it into circulation, but the mint has been coining silver dollars right along and has coined more since January 1st than was at Peoria that he and Mr. Lincoln were alike in making campaign speeches, when the truth is that Mr, Lincoln did not leave Springfield during his campaign. Mr, Bryan has said that his nomination had the effect of turning gold this way from Europe, but it has been shown that the balance of trade which made America the creditor brought gold this way.

The Chicago Popocrats when they were refused permission to excite a riot in the business part of Chicago by occupying the streets with a procession at the same time the Republicans were parading then discovered that: "The mission for which the Mayflower plowed the unknown western ocean and caused the' pilgrims to hail with Joy the inhospitable shores of Plymouh Roek.haa been in vain, and that this, the close of the nineteenth century, we are informed that the cause which called the minute men of Massachusetts from their farms and \$prkshops is a dead letter in our land."

This is very touching, but we remember that the minute men of Massachusetts were called out to arrest a little parade of British troops from Boston to Concord, which was badly broken up. Most of the descendants of the pilgrimB and of the minute men are going to vote against Bryanlsm.

HOW MR. COCKRAN WILL BE RECEIVED. One of the most attractive orators in the campaign is Mr. Bourke Cockran, who speaks for the Sound Money Club tonight. His eloquence and his independence bad made him conspicuous before this year and his position now is one that compels the respect of every well balanced American citizen. The well balanced American admires courage and independence, which Mr. Cockran has ever shown

and shows now in .tak,ng a road that began

is ip harmony with sound money principles.

THE SAVING GRACE OF COMMON SENSE. The stampede has begun and as they run the wonder is that there should have b: en any real danger of the conglomeration party electing the chief executive of the country. The sober, second thought of the people, that is, the common sense, may ba depended on to save the country from the triumph of any scatter-brfcined theories finance or of government in any respect. There may be many voters who even yet have not thoroughly mastered the scientific and practicable [has3s of the money question, but they look upon their duty next Tuesday in a common sense way. They readily see that there is safety in ih^ supremacy of McKinley and the sfntimtnt his candidacy represents. hen they inase comparison of the men who are likely to be associated with the two candidates, th-y are forced to believe that the government would be leas liable to the ill elects of blundering under McKinley than under Bryan. They feel that it is not a time for

vised the men to force their employes into the attitude of offering a bribe. He has advised them to put themselves in the position of asking a bribe, or a consideration for their votes.

Jones is cunning, yet reckless. He foresees that the employes would not be willing to place themselves in an attitude in which they could be branded and prosecuted as

bribers, and would decline. If the men should make the request, to meet with a refusal, they would be offended, and a beginning of bad feeling might culminate in labor troubles, and If angry they might also vote for Bryan.

Jones, in throwing out such a circular in Chicago, deliberately seeks to embroil the workingmen in his partisan warfare and to

all that gives the best assurance of conservatism and safety. As a matter of fact, the few Democratic leaders with any consilinble following' who unwillingly have been advocating the election of Bryan, have no confidence ia the success of his administration should' he be elected ^because of the influences ttiat would be about him always.. They know that, however honest he m&y be In bis purposes, that those who made possible his nomination, would dominate him. Tlei' are the Tillmans, Watsons, Altgelds, Stewarts and the infinite variety of other men with crotchets. None of them are looked upon by the great majority of the peopla as safe. No one can tell what idea would be taken up after they should tite of free sliver. However grave and vital tho money question may be it must be borne in mind that a national administration will have in its four years many affairs of state to deal with, for all of which the best and safest counsel is demanded.

JONES TRIES TO BE DANGEROUS. If an employer should promise his hands

that he will raise their wages if McKInley is elected he would be liable to a charge of attempted bribery. If the hands should demand a promise of higher wages if McKinley is elected and threaten to vote for Bryan if the promise is not made, they would be liable to a charge of seeking a bribe and intimidation.

Jones, United States senator, and manag

er of Bryan's campaign, has issued a circular advising workingmen to request their employes to promise an increase of wages if McKinley is elected, or to protect thexp against any reductions. The alternative would

a vote for Bryan. Jones has ad

If, as we confidently erpect, the agricultural districts return a large vote for Republican polioles, for an undeviating and safe currency and protection of home industries, Mr. Mount will deserve much credit, or he will deserve to share with his fellow agriculturists the credit for fidelity to large, honest and safe principles.

Mr. Mount is an educated farmer. He ia a happy example of what is well understood in this country, that "Honor and shame from no condition rise." A man may be a United States senator and do what is shameful. He may be a farmer or a laborer and rise to honor and fame.

It was one of many happy accidents which seem to have befallen the Republican party in this campaign that the choice for governor fell upon Mr. Mount He is a business man, he has farmed upon business principles and conducted his business with the industry and integrity of the farmer. He w«as able to discuss the great topics which more than ever required to be discussed from a business standpoint. Now fchftt he has been heard all over the state, farmers, business men and men of all professions have learned that James A, Mount is the safest man to be the next governor of Indl ana.

BRYAN DU-

PUBLICLY ADVISES PLICITY.

While Chairman Hanna is keeping up a hot bombardment of the Popocrat works in Chicago and is compelling Mr. Jones to work his denial batteries overtime, Mr. Bry an is kept very busy issuing rear platform explanations. Over in Indiana the boy orator ran up against a pugnacious and saucy Hoosier by the name of Ben Harrison, who trounced the juevnile declaimer for endeavoring to persuade the wage-earners that it was honorable and manly to practice decep^tion and hypocrisy by wearing McKinldy buttons and appearing in McKInley parades when they, intended to vote for Bryan, says the Times-Herald,

He also had a head-end collision with M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four Railway, on the same subject. Smarting under the peppery rhetoric of these gentlemen, Mr. Bryan was forced to acknowledge in a speech at La Salle yesterday that he actually did advise workingmen to wear McKinley buttons and march in sound money parades if they deemed it necessary to do so to hold

their Jobs, but to vote for Bryan on election day. It was not believed that Mr. Bryan had been so outspoken In his attempts to induce workingmen to violate their manhood by proclaiming principles which are contrary to their convictions. It was not sus-

pected that even Bryan could offer with such

brazen effrontery such a flagrant insult to

Three cars, especially designed for exhibits, will be started for the East in a few days, from Washington, each county being represented. The cars will be kept together and will go clear to Maine. The intention is to visit as many fairs as possible and it is believed that the scheme will aid very materially in attracting immigration.

A new and Ingenious scheme has recently been developed by the expert shoplifters. They employ a sweet-faced child, who enters a crowded store, carrying a large paper bag, from which the odor of onions and other vegetables is very pronounced. The thief passes her spoils to the girl, who places them in the bag under the vegetables. By this means they have for some time succeeded in deceiving the police, and in one instance deceived a detective, even when such a bag had been opened on suspicion.

Recent examination of the copper mines on Mount Sinai reveals that the ore is poor and difficult to work, which accounts for the fact that they were abandoned 2,000 years ago, though in the days when copper was the only available substitute for. wood and stone these mines were the cause of frequent wars. An interesting point brought to light Is that the ancients practiced precisely the method of extraction used at the present day—namely, reduction with charcoal combined With sillcious and calcareous fluxes.

In some things the Japanese point of view is very different from that of other countries. The track of the Kama-Kura railway is not fenced in, and crossings rarely have gates. A boy carrying a child on his back, straying on the line, was recently knocked down by an engine, and both boy and child were killed. Thereupon the railway company prosecuted the father for allowing his children to trespass, and he was fined ten yen. Some time ago, at Osaka, a cow was run over, and the owner was fined 200 yen) besides losing his cow.

Cape Cod fishermen complain that the mackerel of today are not to be taken by any of the methods that proved succcessful with their ancestors.

Dr. Arthur MacDonald, the Washington criminologist, thinks Uiat every man. woman and child in the counfry should be measured according to the Bertnlon system and the re1 suiting data preserved by a government bureau, with branches in every township. This, he says, would not only almost put an end to crime by making detection practically certain, but it would be of service In scores of ways among perfectly respectable people, like lawyers, bankers, Insurance men, and all others to whom questions of identity are of great Importance.

By order of the city emuncil of Toronto, a ballot was taken among the street railway employes to ascertain their" sentiment on the question of running the street cars on Sunday. Two hundred and fifty men voted. Of these 210 were against Sunday work, while thirty of the men wished "to be permitted to work on Sunday if they desired to do so." So, as public sentiment In Toronto is with the majority of the men, the city will probably retain its unique position as the only large city in North America whose street ears ire not available on Sunday.
