She Doesthe British Isles In Her KnIcker-

Miss Bacon, the interchangeable and,
perhaps, the most practical, advocate of
national dress in London, has returned
from a successful tour of 1900 miles on
her bicycle. She started on the Sd of
August, in the early dawn for Suffolk,
wandering around the east coast for
several days, and thence, via Peter
borough. York and Durham, to Edin-
burgh, where she met with an acct
dent which necessitated an immediate
journey to Glasgow for repairs. This
caused so much delay that she had to
abandon her original intention of con-
tinuing north to the Trossachs, Oban
and Inverness, and she accordingly
started on her homeward journey on
the 18th of August, taking the Falls OF
Clyde on her way to Carlisle.

therefore, We simply chronicle the MIS-
tory OF the occurrence.
When election day opened both
sides appeared confident OF victory and
the weather AL over the state was just
chill enough TO make not WOTh necessary
TO keep warm. And hot work there was,
and plenty of 1t. An extremely heavy
vote was polled in almost every county
for an 'on" year. The Populist ticke;
showed remarkable gains in the farming
districts.
Probably the hardest fights in the state
were on congressman, the kepuO!lclns
straining every nerve 20 get full delega-
ton, and that they succeeded was seen
very early in the count. The Republicans
elected every one Of the twelve congress-
men, as follows:

Monroe county.

CONGRESSMAN Hartman, Republi-
can, of Montana, last Tuesday intro
duoed bill Ia Congress, for the free
coinage Of silver. An important fea-
ture of the bill requires import duties
to be in gold where articles are
brought from countries whose Gov
ernments refuse to open their mints
to the free coinage Of silver. This
would seem to be very good bill and
would AVOID any trouble that might
arise of draining the country of its
gold and leaving the United States
largely on a silver basis. If some meas
ure of this kind could be adopted at
the present session of Congress it
would have the effect Of restoring
good times again in this country, and
especially in the west.

THE steady decline in the value of
silver indicates that fnanciers and
spectators in the white metal have
abandoned hope that China and jap
an will enter the market as borrow
crs of silver. Both countries seem
bent upon pursuing policy OF self
dependence, and are raising the sup
plies they need at home. From pres
ent appearances China will refuse to
borrow abroad, even if compelled to
pay an indemnity to Japan. In that
event the Chinese government will
probably resort to the exaction OF a
di rect tribute from the people, to be
collected by the mandarins, or For
