Candidate Bryan undoubtedly needs a
rest, as 1t is said he is showing the effects
Of the great strain he is constantly under
in his campaign. He refuses to make any
change in his plans, however. and says he
cannot spare day from the work he is
doing. 1t is a campaign OF education he
is conducting. and he is reaching the peo-
pie everywhere in a manner that is put
ting them to thinking. Not a few Of the
November surprises will be attributable
directly to Mr. Bryans energetic work.

Makes No Allowances.
From the Nashville American (Dem)

One trouble about Mr.. Grosvenor's cleo
ton figures is that when he once starts to
publishing them he rarely let's up, and
each day we may expect a new political
forecast until he has finally figured all
the states into the republican column.
Yet there is one thing Mr.. Grosvenor
has overlooked. He has omitted to make
allowance for political cyclones, land
slides, avalanches: he has failed to dis
Germ that the majority of the people have
figured out a different result, and that
they have power to make the result cor
respond with their figures, while he has
not.
Still, the figures are interesting as show
ing the republican claims"

Mr.. Sewall has rendered his resignation
and declines to serve any longer as presi-
dent of the American Merchant Marine
Association The Morning News felt sat
isfied of the correctness of its statement
that Mr.. Sewall had nothing to do with
those circulars Endorsing the republican
platform which appeared upon the letter
heads of that association. Mr.. Sewall
has proven the correctness of that asser-
ton by his action in the matter. He says
in his letter of resignation. cit was dis
tinctly understood that the organization
was to be free from politics and entirely
non-partisan in its character" 1t would
appear that some of Mr.. Sewall's brother
stockholders took a different view of the
matter, and were endeavoring to put him
in a bad light before the people, but they
have met with i'll success. There is a
candor and a frankness about Mr.. Sew
airs letter and his action that will
commend itself to every conscientious
democrat.

A good deal OF stress is being laid on the
fact that Candidate Bryan is not an octo-
genarian. and he is referred to by his crit
les as the boy orator of the Platte"
While he is under 40 years of age, he is
more than IS, and many of the great men
OF the world won name and fame before
they had attained that age. Alexander
the Great was on the throne at g. and
after conquering the world, died at 3S;
Napoleon was first consul Of France at
49, and made the world tremble before he
was 40; Stonewall Jackson was a world
renowned soldier when he was Bryans
age; Byron had immortalized himself by
writing English Bards and Scotch Re-
viewers" before he was 20. and so
throughout the pages of history Young
men have won fame and name whenever
inherent greatness and opportunity came
together

A New York dentist named Leeds is try

by the name Of de Richambeau is prac-
teal joker or nihilist. The other day
de Richambeau carried him a set of teeth
which he left with him, stating he had
discovered new method Of making them.
DR.. Leeds was quite taken with the spen-
did appearance Of the bicuspids, molars,
and so on, and began to experiment with
them. In the course OF his experiments he
applied the hammer. and the teeth expo-
ded with such violence as to frighten al
most everybody out Of the building, and
set FIRE to the room in several places. No
body was hurt, but the doctor is still won
dering, and is doubtless congratulating
himself that he tried the hammer before
experimenting on a Bowery steak.

revenge by slaughtering nineteen out of

women and children. Comparable to these
are the horrors of the Spanish dungeons
in the Philippine Islands where prisoners
are made to slowly suffocate until I'M

physical sufferings. Verify the days Of

they are reincarnations of Spanish in

fair measure OF protection from fires
might be secured. Yet the record for the
past few years is not at all encouraging.
There were charges OF bad management
and some difficulty with regard to water
at the rice mill fire, notwithstanding the
recent reorganization Of the fire depart
ment, and the fact that the city has new
water works and only a short while ago
enlarged the mains on Bay street. There
is also talk OF lack of discipline at the
fire of yesterday morning
These matters, and others which will
suggest themselves to the authorities,
should be given prompt and proper atten-
ton. The people do not object to expend-
ing money for institutions designed to give
them protection, and they have the right
to demand efficiency in the services for
which they pay. If the several services
involved are efficiently managed, am in
vestigation cannot possibly do any harm.
If they are not properly managed, the
fact should be discovered and remedied.

MRS. LEASES BIG MEETING AT

lecture was made free by the Silver

for the hundreds of adults who were
eager to hear this illustrious and elo-
Quent woman. Her topic was, What
Ais Us" and the applause that greeted
her splendid utterances in behalf of sill
yer and reform was simply tumultuous.
Among the audience were scores of farm
ers, some of them coming from a distance
of fifteen miles. Perhaps the one senti-
ment that created the greatest en-
thusiasm was her splendid tribute to
Hon. John Lind, Chas. A. Towne, Frank

THE COST OF RELIGION.

Both as purchaser OF materials and

gregate which is truly enormous. It takes

millions larger. Most of this is made
