A "Polychremes, Bible.

The new "Polychrome Bible" more
than one-half of which is now in print,
is volume that will cause no little
excitement among bibliophiles as we'll
as Bible students. 1t gets its name
from the aim to distinguish later ad-
ditions from the older incorporated
sources by having them appear in
different colors. The book is printed
from the new Drugulin Hebrew type,
with the critical remarks in English.
The work has been divided among the
most celebrated German, English and
scholars. The Book of Ecclesiastes is
the contribution of the professor OF
the Semitic language in the Johns
Hopkins University, DIR. Paul Haupt,
who recently returned from his vaca-
tion in Europe, where he has been
supervising this important publication.
The new translation will be profusely
illustrated with views from Egypt,
Assyria and other biblical lands,
Another valuable feature of the work
is treatise in sacred Hebrew music OF
the Bible in general.

at was in Western Iowa that we
met with the most discourteOus treat
ment on our entire trip. Here all
along our journey farmers wives took
us for tramps and would neither sell
us shelter nor food. AS consequence
we were obliged to purchase food at
the towns and carry it with us when-
ever we could. In several instances q
convenient hay-stack sufficed for our
resting place over night. From Da-
venport, Iowa, until we reached Chi
cago we met with only the kindest
treatment during our journey"
In answer to the interviewer, Mrs.
Estby said that the shortest distance
covered during any day of their tramp
was twenty-six miles and the longest
was thirty-eight. 1t was on the 9th
inst. that they reached Chicago. Be-
ing penniless Mrs. Estby and daughter
remained in the city for several days

pay expenses of the journey east.
The shortest route from New York
City to Chicago is 500 miles. This
distance Mrs. Estby said they would
easily cover in time to win their $1O,-

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, NOV 27 1885,

it is not 165 pounds of muscle, bone
and brain concentrated in the body
of man at Canton, O., that form the
real President-elect of the United
States, but an intangible, indwelling
spirit. Suppose Mr.. Mckinley after
his Inauguration should find himself
face to face with the awful demon of
war. Suppose it should become ne
cessary, for instance, for the United
States to engage in death-grapple
with Spain on account. OF tho CALLING
Cuban question. Mr.. McKinley's
three and a quarter pounds OF brain,
his 5000 foot-tons of energy, would be
called upon to deal some of the most
tremendous physical blows that the
history of nations has ever recorded
blows that would demolish an ancient
monarchy and send one of the proud
est thrones of Europe crashing into
dust and ruin. Nobody possessed of a
competent knowledge of the facts
doubts that the power of this country
would be able, under the direction of
it's President, easily to effect all that.
Such contest would be a merciless
test of the man who directed it. 1t
would constitute q terrible indictment
against the responsible head of the ma
ton if it were unrighteously begun or
unskillfully conducted. But is there
any of the physiological elements that
have been named, or all of them COM
bined, upon which that responsibility
could be placed, or against which that
Indictment could be directed? No, it
would be the invisible and intangible
William Mckinley, dwelling within
the visible and vigorous body which
carries that name, who would have to
bear the brunt.
One hundred and fourteen and a
half pounds of water combined with
76A pounds of carbon, phosphorus, sui
phur, calcium, sodium, iron, magne-
sium, lithium, potassium, chlorine,
potassium, silicon, fluorine and
all the other material constituents
of the new President can direct
this nation, restore its industries,
guide its financial policy, develop its
resources, reconcile the conflicting
elements in its population, quiet its
disorders, soothe its discontents, en-
hance its prosperity and make its
honor shine like the sun in the heav-
ems, only because they have within
them, constituting the very essence of
their existence, that immortal princi-
pie which lies beyond the reach Of
chemistry and the belief in which
caused Socrates to receive the cup of
poison from his jailer with smile
upon his lips.

The German Kite Balloon.
Scientific American,

Experiments have just been made
in Berlin with so-called "kite bal
loon," invented by a German officer.
The principal part of the balloon has a
cylindrical form, widening out below
so as to form kind of rudder or tail,
which is intended to steer the cylindri-
cal part in a certain direction. The
balloon is surrounded in the usual
way with net, to which the car is
attached. Some twenty yards above
the large balloon is a small aerostat,
in the shape of kite" which serves
to indicate the direction of the wind
in the upper strata of the atmosphere.
The experiments have given quite
satisfactory results.

Not Much OF a Lam dslide.
Portland Tribune.

In Senator Buffers address, as
chairman of the Populist national
committee, issued recently, he makes
the assertion that if 25 900 more Silver
Republicans had voted for Bryan in
certain States, the Nebraska statesman
would have been elected President.
In view of the talk about landslides,
this assertion was considered rash, but
it is very nearly correct. Let us see.
Look at this table showing how a
change of little more than 25,OOO
votes, distributed over nine States,
would have elected Bryan:

throughout this land, wherever the
name of this organization may go, no
man can rise and say the soldiers of
my home city are afraid to trust me.

ADVICE TO SILVER CLUBS.

ADVICE TO SILVER CLUBS.
But am very grateful to my neigh
bors here for the support they have
given me. Not only am grateful to
those who have voted at the polls, but
l am grateful to those who before
election day gave their time and con-
tributed all they could to make the
vote as large as possible. l was very
proud when came back to Lincoln to
meet the Bryan Home Guards and
saw the discipline and good appear
ance they always made when they
were out on parade. And want to
say this, that while outside of this
city, think it is we'll for the clubs
that are going to 60 on with the work
of bimetallism to drop my name and
take a name that is entirely imper-
sonal, SO that the cause will not be
connected with person, because the
cause is greater than any person
(Cries of "Never.D Well, I say ]
think it wise, outside of this city, fol-
those Bryan clubs to cease to be Bryan
clubs (renewed cries of "Never
never,~ and become silver clubs or bi'
metallic clubs, SO there will be nc
jealousy, SO no one can say this aglta'
ton is in the interest of any person
but rather that all may recognize it as
in the interest of a great cause.
say, while believe it is wise, out
side of this city, for my name to be
dropped and the clubs to go under
more general name, yet in this city
would be proud to have the Bryan
Home Guards retain their name
(Great cheering.) Let me get through
with one proposition at time. an

organization which bears my name

Now suppose there had been these
changes from Mckinley to Bryan ::
California, 2,510; Delaware, 1885;
Indiana, 11,1OO; Kentucky, 251;
North Dakota, $50; Oregon, 1906;
South Dakota, Isl; West Virginia,
6,O10; Wyoming, 101-a total of 25,-
1893. These changes would have
given every one of the nine States to
Bryan, and adding their votes to the
167 he got elsewhere, would have
made his strength in the Electoral
College 227, or three more than he
needed to make him President.

BRYAN RESUMES
FIGHT FOR SILVER
FIRST FORMAL ADDRESS SINCE
THE ELECTION.
Urges the Supporters of Free Coin.
age to Continue the Struggle
Work for the Ciubs-Speech to the
Ladies Of HIS Home city.


Under the auspices OF the Lincoln
Bimetallic Club, the local Travelling
Mems Bryan Club and what was
known during the campaign as the
Bryan Home Guards, William j. Bry-
an delivered his first formal address
since the election, on the night of the
18th inst, at Lincoln, Neb., sounding
what is generally accepted as the key
note of himself and his followers
in the campaign which is to continue
for the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver.
Mr.. Bryan was given fiattering re-
ception by the people of his home
city. The meeting was held at the
Funke Opera House, which was crowd
ed to the doors. Mr.. Bryan was in
good voice, and never in his many
speeches before Lincoln audiences has
he spoken with greater vigor or earn
estness.
1t was Bryan day in Lincoln, begin
ming at 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
when the Democratic candidate spoke
to ladies only, and concluding shortly
before Z, when he finished his effort
before a crowd which was unable to
gain admittance to the opera house
and waited patiently for his appear
ance at Bohannon's Hall. Mr.. Bryan
was loudly cheered when he made his
appearance. He spoke deliberately
and with emphasis, saying in part:
RESULTS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Mr.. Chairman and fellow-citizens ::
l do not know that / can make myself
heard for any length of time. My
voice, which has served me well for
several months, during which it has
been sorely tried, is worse to-day than
is has been at any time during the
campaign.
I am proud of the support Nebraska
has given to the cause Of bimetallism.
Nebraska has done her duty well, and
am glad that in this conflict the
State that has been in many respects
a pioneer was not found wanting
when the great test came. And / am
proud of Lancaster county and Lin
coin, and even of my own ward and
precinct.
In some places where I have trav-
eled I have found that the question
was, not who would be elected Presi-
dent, but whether l could actually
carry my own ward, and have known
public speakers who gave it as conclu-
sive proof of my unpopularity at home
that would not be able to carry my
county, my city, my ward, nor even
the precinct in which l live. They
would never have time In the heat OF
the campaign to explain that this is
the strongest Republican county in
the State and the strongest Republi
can city in the county, and l think l
live in the strongest Republican ward
in the city. But, of course, there was
so much to say that you could hardly
expect even Republicans to take time
to say everything, and therefore they
always forgot to tell about the politi-
cal complexion of Lancaster county
and Lincoln and the Fifth Ward
whenever they brag about the vote of
that city, county and ward.

,Iinnesota,s Greatest Exposition.

Those desiring % visit any portion
of the interesting and comparatively
new state OF Minnesota will have an
exceptionally favorable opportunity
for gratifying the wish during the
week ending Saturday Sept. D. At
this time. the National Encampment
of the Grand Army of the Republic
will be held i'm ST Paul; the encamp-
ment of the Knights of Pythias will
be in session in Minneapolis, and
upon the grounds Of the Agricultural
Society, midway between these cities,
the great Minnesota State Fair will
provide entertainment for all. For
these important events, very low
passenger rates, available for every
one, have been announced upon all
the railways of the country. While
the tickets will be on sale but two or
three days, the return portion of the
ticket will be good for month, so
that no one need hurry in making the
trip.
In anticipation of an unusually
large number of visitors, the scope of
the Fair is being broadened, making
in fact, a Northwestern Exposition.
Other states-the Dakotas, Montana,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, will
Join Minnesota in showing of their
principal products, making it possible
for visitors to see and learn as much
or more of the resources of the North
west in a day as during an extended
trip from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific coast, under ordinary circum-
stances. During, and Immediately af-
ter the Fair, excursion trains will be
run at low rates into the Agricultural,
Forest and Mineral portions of Mime
sofa, and to some of the famous
summer resorts of the state. The
indications now are, that the number
of people who will improve the
opportunity to have pleasant outing
and at the same time gain a more
intimate knowledge of the whole
Northwest, will be very large.
