We greatly deprecate the attempt
that is being made in some Eastern
Republican newspapers to drag the
name and actions of the estimable
wife of the Democratic Presidential
candidate into the campaign quarrels
of the time. It is made to appear
that the lady is taking an active and
personal interest in political affairs
to an extent that is quite immodest
to say the least of it. A large car
toon in one journal is entitled Mrs.
Bryan in politics, and represents MIR.

committee meeting ''to see what
Mrs. Bryan has to say about it. All
this is reprehensible in the extreme

Sent Out Ry Tons.

Washington, D c., Aug. IS
Since the opening of the campaign
the Republican Congressional Com
mittee has sent out little more than
100000 documents. On Saturday
alone $4,000 copies of various
speeches were started on their way.
Over at the Democratic headquar-
ters the committee finds 1t impossl-
BILE to keep up with the demand that
comes from all sections of the coun-
try. The State of Arkansas is clam
orous for free silver.
The Middle Western States are
consuming vast quantities of free
silver literature, and the printers
having contracts with the committee
are forced to operate their works tc
the limit to come anywhere neal
getting the work out.
In Ohio alone tons of literature
have been distributed, and every line
of it pertains solely to the tinancia
problem.

Minnesota, will accompany Teller
through many OF the States
\ report gained circulation last
Wednesday that the republican CAM

Bourke Cockrau's speech in reply to
BRYAN, but there seems to be no
truth in the rumor. Congressman
Dave Mercer says it Is not so. They
thought of sending It oat, and while
he viii not give the reasons for the

sending broadcast Brvans free trade
speech while he was a member Of

At both the republican and demo
cratic congressional headquarters
the impression prevails that eastern
capitalists, bankers, importers and
others who are desperately trying
to prevent the success of the free
silver movement are organizing to
capture enough congressional dis
tricts to give the gold advocates q
majority in the next house. They
are willing to aid any candidate

of taxes caused by bonded debt Gre
ated to maintain a gold basis rests up
on labor. If but per cent. rested up

L know it will be argued here that gold
must be had for foreign trade. This is
true as to both gold and bananas. But
l have never yet been enlightened as
to how the Mexican or any other coun-
tryman can use gold as money in his
own country and at the same time ex-
port it to pay for products, any more
than he can eat and export the same
bananas. The simple fact is that the
workingman of Mexico and of all Latin
America is enabled to work out his
progress toward higher civilization
without the difficulties that have been
artificially created in this country.
The statesmen of that country are
close students of the progress of other
nations. They have brought to their
work an intense patriotism that looks
to the improvement of the conditions
of all. They have not as yet been ed
ucated up to the standard of what is
called by the Tory organs of your city
the wealth and intelligence" of this
country. They have in many direc-
tions avoided the mistakes that have
served in th United States to plumber
the producing classes. They have not
even been taught that solid structure
can be made with thge reater load at
the top and an insignificant thing at
the bottom. They have not learned
that it is good policy to allow one
class to draw interest on their debts
and then expect to conduct success

from the possessor of interest bearing

are steadily progressing, and as they
progress the Mexican worlingman is
still defended against the greed of his
employer by that rich soil and tropi-
cal climate, neither of which has as
yet been claimed by the better element
of the community. AS seen by the
quotation above, his wages are con-
stantly increasing, and, SO long as
present conditions exist, this must con-
tinue up to the level of his ability tc

BRITISH ULTIMATUM.
THE SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR
DISREGARDED 1T.
His Palace Reduced to Ruins-The Sui
tan and His Followers Forced to Seek
Refuge at the German Consulate
Many of His Troops Killed.

ZANZIBAR, Aug, 27.--The palace of
the sultan of Zanzibar was lombard
ed by British warships yesterday
morning, and at noon was a mass of
blazing ruins. The usurping chieftan,
Said Khalid, and the commander of
his forces Said Sales, succeeded in es-
Gaping to the German consulate, where
they have sought refuge and remain
under the protection of the German
flag.
The Raccoon. Thrush and Sparrow
kept up the bombardment until $50
O'Clock. when the palace was tumbling
in ruins and large rents had been
made in the barricade of Sayid's fol-
lowers. The latter, however, an
swered the fire of the warships with
great gallantry and did not stop firing
until, in response to the hagship's sig
nal of 'Cease firing" the guns of the
warships stopped showering shot and
she'll ashore. The losses of the enemy
are not known, but 1t is certain that
several hundred were killed or
wounded, especially among the de-
tenders of the palace proper.
No casualties are reported among
the British ashore and, though all
BUSINESS naturally is at standstlli,
order was completely restored before
nightfan and the foreign residents
were able to return to their residences
ashore.
For the present the island will be
administered by Admiral Rawson,
pending the receipt of further in
structions from the British govern
ment.
1t is now generally believed that
the late sultan was poisoned at the
instigtaion of Sayld Khalid.
