The daily life of the Bryans at
Upper Red Hook is Jetfersonian
in it's simplicity. and if the peo~
pie should elect him President
they may expect real Democratic
life at the White House.
The Bryans are living at the
home of Edward Perrine, the
village storekeeper. and q Re-
publican of considerable local
importance. The house, a pretty,
but modest vine covered struc-
ture, is opposite the village
hotel A broad veranda is reach
ed by high steps. When Mr..
Bryan and his secretary are not
at work, he and his wife are
found with a group Of friends on
the veranda or on the lawn.

the people here call themselves.
expected that MIR. Bryan would
conceal himself from them, ex
cept when he was met by dele
cations with long written ad
dresses of welcome. TO the as
tonishment Of these people Mr..
Bryan comes and goes among
them with less dignity than is
shown by the Justice of the
Peace. Farmers drive miles to
see him. Yesterday FIVE arrived

| The farmers walked to the road
and gazed at the house until Mr..
bryan walked out and, with a
broad, open smile, greeted them,
Within two minutes they were
1chatting in a familiar way upon
common topics. Mr.. Bryan told
humorous stories, of which he
has a goodly store, made inquiries
that showed actual interest in
their affairs and wrote his auto

A New Yorker named Meyer
has married fourteen women
without the formality of securing
a.single divorce, and the author
tiles are now considering what
to do with him.
In one of his speeches in Cons
gress VIM. J. Bryan used these
words: '"Thay call that man a
statesman whose ear is turned to
catch the slightest pulsations of
pocketbook, and denounce as a
demagogue ahy one who dares to
listen to the heart beat of hu~
manity."
A fad borrowed, it is said,
from a West Indian belle is a
lemon bath, which is supposed
to be great beautifier as we'll
as fresheuer. Three or four
lemons are sliced into water
perhaps half an hour before it
is used and its cosmetic and tonic
virtues are thereby much in
creased.
Senator Fulkiner told the
truth when he said 1.-The people
are running this campaign. -
There is no millionairs finance
committee back of the Democra-
tic ticket and no big corpora
tions conducting a campaign OF
threats. The election of Bryan
will be a clean victory Of the
people over all the power OF
money and influence that upluto-
cracy can summon to its aid.
A good many people are puz'
zled to know where the Demos
cratic campaign money will come
from this year Those who
have been contributing it in the
post are. as rule, opposing the
Democratic Gicket now. It will
require considerable money to
run the campaign. Some one
has suggested that Chairman
Ellyson might issue an appeal
for 81 contributions, and in this
way raise large fund. Rich-
mond Letter in Petersburg Index

Tariff revision is as certain as death
and taxes. There is no use of the
kickers kicking. This is a Republican
administration that is coming into
power, and it is pledged to give the
country all the relief that can be
brought in by prompt and wise meas
ures of legislation. Tariff properly
levied will produce a surplus of rev.
enue; the current expenses of the ma
ton will be met as they arise; the
vast addition to the public debt in
Cured by the Cleveland administra-
ton will be lessened; foreign goods
will not be suffered to crowd out of
the home market our domestic manu-
features our mills and factories will
therefore employ larger labor; idle
ness will decrease; and, little, by lit
tie. not all in chunks and Immediately,
but little by little. prosperity will be
restored. This is about the size of the
situation as it now shapes itself, and
il will size up according to shape if
only the proper measures are taken
to preyent the foreign labor as well
as the foreign goods and products
from taking the place of that which
is legitmately our own. and which
we ought to supply. To bring in these
changes was the intent when the Re-
publican party was restored to power
and it would be disappointing the just
expectations of the nation to delay
matters an hour longer than neces-
sary.

The sound money Democrats will
fight the Republicans at every move
where they do not drop into the groove
worn by Grover, and the free silver
ties will fight them also. but on gen.

is to be agin the government. 1t is
not certain that the Republican party
will be able TO successfully accomplish
all that it desires in the face of this
factious opposition, but the grand old
American party of protection will

Inspection of schools by competent
physicians, for the purpose of guard
ing against the existence and spread
of contagious diseases,is being serious
ly considered in the City of New
York. 1t should be done in all cities
Of large populations. There is no
doubt that the fruitful source of much
sickness is the result of those who
carry with them the germs of disease
being permitted to mingle SO freely
in the school room and on the play
ground, with thousands Of their fell
low pupils. Humanity alone, to the
sick as well as to those diseased, would
suggest medical inspection as well as
sanitary precautions. The sugges-
tions are timely that are made in this
line by the New York needles.

there was nit in prize fight that had
no police attachment. Withdraw the
