-Weyler seems to be where
Bryan was-in the "enemy's
country"

sents the chief opening for free
silver.
Kansas went to Bryan Its
best citizens had already gone to
other States.
-Warrensburg has a severe
attack of free silver. But the bust

The country did not fully
realize the peril it had avoided
until Bryan got to going hunting
like Cleveland.
There is nothing to boast of
in McKinley's plurality of 1,OOO,-

times as much.
TONI Watson can perhaps
forgive everything but the asser-
ton that he had nothing to do
with Bryan's defeat.
Salisbury muttered to him

make my bow to Uncle Sam, who
now must be respected"
Ills said that Father Time
at last the score one sided evens-
but what can old Missouri gain to
balance Stone and Stephens?
Tom Watson's letter mightinot
have been lost if he had licked the
stamp. The trouble was, Tom
wanted to lick something else.
Alone Dick Olney did not
COW the leonine transgressor; the
beast heard Bill Mckinley S name,
and feared good Dicks successor.
With Spain untired of out
ward bluff, and Cuba bleeding
inly, and Cleveland doing moth
ing well, there's wishing for Nc
Kinley.
The election seems to have
convinced Messrs. Altgeld and
Bryan that Missouri is a great |
State for deer and other wild ami
mails.
There is no doubt that Bry-
an is now free silver candidate
for 1900. He may be said to be
running ahead of his ticket-four
yesrs ahead.

A RELIC OF ANCIENT PARIS.
In Opening street Tower OF st. Mar
tins I'm the Fields Is Uncovered.

paris Dispatch to the London News)
In opening the new Rue Reaumur, the
important thoroughfare which is to con-
meet the cosmopolitan West Centre OF
Paris with the less-known East Centre
the hive OF wholesome buslness-the work.
mems pickaxe has brought to light a
perfect and marvellous example of Ro-
manesque architecture, corresponding to
the early NOTman-the hidden side VI a
Tower Of st. Martins in the Fields.
Like its London namesake, this church
is situated In the heart Of the capital,
and its name Is suggestive Of the Middle
Ages In the mystic beauty of their dawn.
This architectural discovery, belonging to
IA type so rare in Paris, a city devastated
by sieges and revolutions, leads US back
beyond the foundations of French life.
The royal road from Paris-yiz., the few
acres round Notre Dame, to ST. Denis,
the cradle OF Christianity In France
runs on the traces Of an old Roman road
In the beginning Of the Middle Ages
1t passed through fields and market
gardens that supplied Parisians with
vegetables down TO the fourteenth CEN
fury.
Along these few furlongs of road,
churches arose as thickly set as at Rome.
AtAA'1NtA ~ Adillildl UNAIOUtt SAINT
Nicholas. Saint Martin, Saint Lawrence.
and Sainte Geneyieve, and here and there
monasteries long since swept away and
surviving only in the names Of streets.
The churches have been rebuilt or restored
beyond recognition, and are overtopped
by nye-story houses. The primitive
Chapel OF st. Martin. mentioned by Gre
CORY Of Tours was destroyed by the No.-
mans. who invaded Paris before they in
vaded England. 1t was rebuilt during the
outburst of religious feeling that followed
the Millennium of 1000 A. ID.
The history OF religious architecture I'm
this corner Of Paris is deeply interesting.
The famous Abbes de Ciuny, one OF whom
became Pope. rebuilt Saint Martins, and
also Saint Nicholas. about 1130. About
100. when land here became valuable, the
monks sold their lands. Houses were
built against the churches, and that gem
OF the twelfth century, the ruin Of Saint
Martins Tower, was forgotten. The
north and east sides, alone known hither-
to, are comparatively modern, and are I'M
interesting
The west side, now brought to view, re-
minds one Of the little porch at Canter-
bury. II is pure Romanesque style. The
windows are supported by columns. the
capitals OF which are finally preserved. At
the foot Of the tower IS the beginning Of
an old and forgotten winding staircase.
Theapse Of Saint Martin des Champs is
held 10 be the most perfect and best pre-
served remnant Of the twelfth century In
Paris. The only other monuments of this
grand period I'm Paris are Saint Germain
des Pres a few portions, the rest being
an eyesOre), Saint Julien IA Pauvre, and
the chapel on the top OF Montmartre. The
new discovery. is. therefore. important,
and It is to be hoped Will not be hidden by
new Buildings.

Promise Made to Former That Was
Never Kept.


Washington telegram to the New
York Journal says:
Apropos OF the uncontradicted statement
made In the Journal that Secretary Car
Isle would vote for Bryan and Sewall
well-informed gentleman to-day said: II
have not the slightest doubt that Carlisle
will vote for Bryan and Sewall electors
in Kentucky. Not to put IL too harshly
he has been buncoed by President Cleve-
land.
when he gave up his seat In the Senate
for the portfolio OF the Treasury. Carlisle
was the idol of the Kentucky Democracy
There was nothing in its gift that he
could not have. He was a silver man,
and was thoroughly In line with his party
In his State on that issue Little by little
he was weaned away from mis- expressed
convictions, and finally he turned tail
completely on the silver question and be-
came a CONFIRMED gold-bug. People who
knew him wen were surprised when
Cleveland made him a mere head clerk
Ia his department
"A little over year ago a member Of
the Secretary's family said, az a dinner
table in this city: president Cleveland
has promised John that at the proper
time he will write a letter commenting
him to the Democratic party as its logical
candidate as his successor"
" My dear madam" said the gentle
man In whose house this conversation oc-
Cured Mr.. Carlisle is deceived II he
places any reliance on any such promise.
He is foolish to trust President Cleveland
In such a matter. That letter will never
be written Time proved that the gen.
tleman was a true prophet Then fol-
lowed the campaign in Kentucky, in
which jos Blackburn achieved such a
triumph, and Secretary Carlisle such a
defeat. Now the Secretary sees that he
foolishly jeopardized all his political fus
ture.
HAD he resisted Cleveland's overtures,
or rather his demands, on the silver ques-
ton, and thrown up his portfolio sooner
than acquiesce in them he would to-day
have been the nominee OF the Democratic
party for the presidency. Instead, in his
desire 10 attain that eminence, no finds
himself without a party in his own State.
He has made a fatal mistake so far as
national politics - concerned There re-
mains for him only State preferment.
Notwithstanding his error Of judgment
In the Cleveland matter. Kentucky Demo-
Gratis still love John Carlisle. They re-
gard him as a good man temporarily gone
wrong. and if he supports the ticket
regularly nominated at Chicago. as soon
as possible he will be again sent to the
Senate from Kentucky"
what about the talk of Cleveland ap-
pointing him a Justice Of the Supreme
Court?'
II think that is the bait which he is
keeping before the Secretary's eyes to
hold him. Even II he had the chance to
appoint, him / don't think he would do
il. Such an appointment would not be
In line with his character. At heart,
Carlisle Is a Democrat and Is DESTROYS
Of being on good terms with the rank
and file of his party. Once free from
the Cleveland curb he would abjure the
Mugwumps and no one knows this better
than the President For that reason he
will never make Carlisle a member Of
the Supreme Court"

BEDFORD CITY BANK CASES.
Motion for n Change of Venue over
ruled.


BEDFORD CITY, VA, July 30.-(Spe-
cial 1.-THE cases Of the failure of the
Liberty Savings Bank were called Tues
day, the second day of the County Court.
Judge Barksdale. OF Halifax. is presiding,
and has made a very favorable impression
upon all OF the members Of the cqansel.
and the people generally, for his impartial
rulings. The counsel for Mr.. T. d. Berry
are: Judge w. II. Mann. Of Nottoway;
Judge J.. ID. Horsley, Of Lynchburg;
Messrs Caskie and Coleman. Of the same
city, and Is. IL. Berry, Of Richmond. Mr..
j. w. Smith is represented by Aiessrs.
John l.. Lee and Volney T. Howard OF
Lynchburg The Commonwealth is repre-
sentod by A. II. Burroughs, Esq, OF
Lynchburg.
The cases Of these two gentlemen are
the first under consideration, as a change
OF venue has been asked for by their
counsel op the following grounds: That
the condition of public sentiment is such
that fair and impartial trial cannot be
had In the county. and that there are no
qualified jurors in Bedford county, as the
people generally had money on deposit in
both OF the banks"
The Commonwealth objected to the con-
oners had been arraigned and the plead
ings made up. After considerable discus
sion the Court decided that the motion
for a change Of venue was proper at any
stage of the proceedings.
FOR DEFENDANTS.
The defendants introduced testimony
showing that the Board o. Supervisors
had appointed a committee to employ
counsel to prosecute, and had secured
counsel. to be paid out Of the county
funds the fee TO be not less than $500 nor
more than $50 Also, that the expenses
of the committee and certain expenses in
Cured by the County Judge. I'm an effort
10 employ counsel, as well as the expenses
of an expert accountant to examine the
books Of the bank for use OF the grand
Jury. had been paid from the county
funds.
The defence then introduced Rev. T. ".
Jones. DR.. c. A. Board, Martin =. Burks,
ESD, and ten others, who testified that
they did not believe fair trial could he
had In this county. SO far thirty-six wilt
nesses have been introduced 10y me prose-
cution, who testified that fair trial
and impartial jury could, in their opinion,
be secured in the county, but stated that
here was a general sentiment 10 the ef-
feet that some Of the oank othcials mao
been guilty OF criminal wrong, and ought
to be punished, but the public did not
know vino the guilty parties were.
Among the witnesses introduced by the
prosecution. were a considerable number
OF gentlemen who had been summoned as
jurymen
