also demonstrated tina the rapid dis

in Franz Josef Land was not regulated

quantity produced near the north pole
would be constant quantity, and that it
could not be cornered in an Arctic circle,

OF the case. Dr. Nansen concluded by

We have a notion that away back in

Then there were cries for Fredfishsky
Turgenief, who arose slowly on account OF
having been attached 10 his seat by the
climate F. F. T. was not an Anarchist,
nor a Populist, tGod forbid, but he had
been with the others i'll the middle OF the
road or three years. =.
He left hotie with T3 silver pfcnnigs
in his overcoat pocket, and all tie others
had fairly good sums OF the coin of the
realm with them. F. F. T. was speaker
all the way from the West to the Easo
and back again, by way of Chicago. He
promised that he was tired OF the money
power and the contraction of the currency,
which he denied was due to the cold. as
maintained by Dr. Nansen. He denied
with contemptuous sneer that he iac6
that he had not shaved or cut his hair for
three years made him any less gentleman
than Tom Watson. Cyclone Davis. Bismuth
William. Asbestos Bill, or Dink Eotts Of
the effete Bourton noli me tarEeTe ele-
nlents of Kentucky society. He proclaimed
tina, nothing would succeed in Franz josef
Land except the brotherhood of man and
the equal partition of pelf
He declared emphatically that the theory
OF the cause in the decline of salt pork was
not the over production of Siberian dogs,
but the maintenance OF tie sineitsstandard
of consumption.
Frieifishsky Turgenief made sutlime
effort in the rear end of his speech. As he
shook his skinny forefinger at DR.. Nansen
the icicles flew like fiery parts OF speech.
You, Herr DR.. Nansen," he concluded,
'.you shall not press an ice cap ON the brow
of labor; nor stall you cruelty mankind on
the North Pole in such weather"
The next day it showed; in fact it had
not ceased moving there for many years,
and Turgenief was elected captain of the
Fran Dr.. Nansen bolted at tie FIST op-
portuDity.
The Franz Josef Land Republic is now
the only country in the world from which
all the gold bullion and coin has been
withdrawn and is therefore on an entirely
silver basis 1t is an ideal Republic It
is expected that the annihilation OF DR..
Nansen, who was in the gold class, VIII
bring back the pristine happiness OF the
country; that salt pork will begin to rise
in price, that wheat and oats will COM
mand its own price, irrespective of inter
national agreement or consumption, and
that the general danger of crucifixion will
gradually disappear. 1t is true that the
people there have more money than they
want, but they have agreed to rely on
their own agricultural, mechanical and
political resources. In Franz Josef Land
they have everything to burn except what
they want from the outside world, and
that is everything but the surplus OF money
ON hand.

told that it was necessary 20 create a
thing which he had to burn for over a
quarter of century simply settled it,
and he is now a gold bug. All Of his wa rd

IL might be asked by some captious silver
bug what has the gas of the Washington
Gaslight Company to do with this cam
pa:gn? 1t has great deal to do with it.
We are going TO have ratification
meeting ourselves some time soon, and
we are going to have the. president Of the
great gasiight corporation sitting in the
front seat-of the Sanhedrim OF the silver;tes
in town.
GAS AS AN ISSUE.
1t is scarcely a summer ago since the
poor men-the work.ngrnen Of Washing
ton-made some remarks about the desir-
ability of cheap gas tie tyranny and tyrants
of corporations in general and about the
Washington Gaslight Company in particular.
Congress thought these poor people were
right and lowered the price OF gas a little,
and now the people, or seine Of them who
went to Chicago. probably think that
Congress was wrong to abuse SO great
and good benefactor as the president of
the gaslight company. at least since he
took flyer into the Presidential nominal
ton at Chicago.
1t appears to be certain that the presi-
dent of this beneficent company will he

sion of Congress and the shower Of silver
all the way from the West Side to the
East Side.
1t is almost incredible. but this rooter
has changed his political coat. He was
the rooter III CHEF near the stage, and he
had swallowed all the big words or the
speech as easily as the copper-lined phe-
nomenon swallowed the swords in the side
show. Bu. Bryan broke him up in the
last inning and now he is gold bug.
How did it happen?
Well, Mr.. Bryan had spoken for an hour
and a half before ne had said anything
aud this man, Adam Smith. no relative to
the political economist, literally stood UP
when Mr.. Bryan reached that part or his
speech which begins, THE only thing
necessary for the SUCCESS OF free silver is
to create the dcmand."
PLENTY oFDENAND.
Now it So huppered that Adam Smi.h
and 9,s42 others at the meeting had Per
sonified this demand for money for periods
varying from twenty-five to fifty years,
and even before the Boy Orator was born.
Consider the anna cement of Adam Smith
when he heard fall from the anointed lips
OF the master Of finance that free silver
would create demand for it. Adam had
heretofore assumed the demand on the
experience OF himself and neighbors, and
that he had come to hear at what time
definitely the hurry wagon or the supply
wagon would call at his door.
Thee are only two ends to free
silver speech, man who can make it
and a man who can listen TO 1t. So, then
when tine Derby Bull in the silk hat heard
Mr.. Bryan say the thing that paralyzed
Mr. Smith, he nudged the gentleman in the
bearskin coat who sat next to him, and
they smiled together the knowing smile Of
the Roman Augurs.
But Mr. Smith stooda aghast at the prorcsi-
ton that Mr.. Bryan had come all the way
from Lincoln tNebraska) to say only one
thing, and that thing a direct contradiction
Of Mr.. Smiths experience, towit, that the
demand for the new sinners would settle
the whole business. Mr.. Smith knew per-

THINGS WE WANT TO HAPPEN.

After our ratification meeting we expect
to see industries flourish. We expect to
see manufactures rise on the banks of the
Potomac and even invade the sacred pre-
cincts of the northwest. We expect to
see receivers appointed for the Central
Union Mission and the Associated Charities.
We expect to see this country raising more
things than ever and selling them to itself,
and then buying them back from itself
and the results credited to imports and
exports. We expect to see the day when a
man will make enough in a day or two
TO go out and buy a real good dollar.

possible conflict between the G. A. r.
encampment and the state fair. which
are scheduled for the same week in
September. has come up again. The
managers of the encampment are again
urging that the two events shall not be
held the same week. They are consid.
ering three propositions. One is q
change in the date OF the fair. another
is changing the date Of the encamp.
ment and the third Is abandoning the
fair altogether. The fair managers OBJ.
ject to changing their date and holding
no fair they will not hear Of. A ION.
ference will be held this week between
committees Of the two bodies in an
effort to arr We at some understanding.
1t was thought that the matter was
settled some time ago. but the reports
of the hotel men. and the pressure OF
other business interests have caused
the board of managers of the encamp.
ment to decide to reopen the matter.
This Is one of the most delicate things
that the encampment managers have
have had to deal with. and they are
moving in the matter with the greatest
caution and considering it from all
sides in order to prevent conflict of in.
