for Year.

Callahan the Bum Takes Another Pledge
for Year.
Callahan the Bum appeared before
Mayor Thompson, Clerk Mcmillan,
Judge Turner. Chief of Police Tebo and
the rest OF the city officials yesterday
and declared that he wanted to take the
pledge for a year.
Il see the error of my ways" said
Callahan. when I look about me and
see what l might have become had I
kept sober it makes me tired. l have
taken my last drink. I only want to
take the pledge for year but intend
to keep IL always. But / can fool my
self better by only taking il for year"
The officials suggested that he go down
to the priest and take the pledge, but
Callahan said he had tried the priest a
dozen times and he no longer had any
confidence in pledges taken before the
priest. He wanted to take this pledge
before the A. p. AS to see II they were
any better than priests pledges
Judge Turner drew up the pledge
which was sworn to and signed by the
witnesses there assembled. The pledge
is as follows:
Before Almighty God and the COM
mon Canadian citizens here assembled,
/, Callahan the Bum, erstwhile known
as William Callahan. no hereby pledge
myself not to touch a drop of intoxica-
ting liquor as a beverage or otherwise
for the space of one year from date so
help me God and the A. p. AS
Two copies were made of this, one of
which was locked in the judges desk,
and the other given to Callahan.
IF that A. =. A. pledge turns out no
good" said Callahan, II will give ii
up. 1 have tried every other kind"
At last accounts last night Callahan
was still sober

While the authorities thought they
had about got rid of the diphtheria,
they were startled yesterday by learn

WHY BUSINESS MEN OPPOSE BRYAN.

There were few flags displayed from the
business houses along the streets through
which Mr.. Bryan rode This was not due
| to the fact that he is an alleged Democratic
candidate, since large number of the bust
ness men of Indianapolis have been and
are Democrats. If Mr.. Bryan had stood
upon the same platform that upon which
Mr.. Cleveland was elected many flags on
business houses would have waved a well
come to him. The reason that these flags
We're not out is that Mr.. Bryan stands upon
another platform in regard to money. Mr..
Bryan had said many times before his nom
ination that he would not vote for a DEM
ocratic candidate on a platform sustaining
business men. fully believing with the SEN
tinel, Professor Frewen and all of the
sound financiers of the country that tire
mendous panic would follow Mr.. Bryan's
election, are opposed to his candidacy. To
them the issue is between fairly prosper
Gus business and a panic, which they believe
would involve the country in a disaster
from which it would take years to recover.
This is the reason, and the only one, which
caused business men not to welcome Mr..
Bryan. Is it not a sufficient one?
There never was opinion universally
entertained by business men. More than 80
per cent. of those who have been fairly sue
cessful in business hold that the election
of Mr.. Bryan would involve general disas-
ter. Who are better qualified to form opin-
ions on the subject? Certainly not Mr..
Bryan, who has never been in any kind of
business and knows nothing about it.
Which of the two, the business men of
e< perience or Mr.. Bryan and his coterie of
professional place-seekers, is most likely to
be right on this subject? To whom do those
who want advice regarding business go
to manufacturers and distributors Of mer-
chandise or to men like Mr.. Bryan?
For the same reason that those who man.
ufacture and sell goods fear panic those
whom they employ should do A panic
would close factories by tens Of thousands
and paraiyze trade so that hundreds of
thousands of men now employed would be
turned to idleness. Does any wage Garner
look forward with complacency to panic
that would wreck business? The men who
pay wages borrow for a time much of the
money with winch wages are pdld; Wouiu
it help who employ to pay higher
wages, or wages at all, If panic should
make it impossible. to borrow money or sell
goods?
These are the questions which prudent
and practical men will consider. They
would certainly be neither prudent nor
practical if they were led by Mr. Bryan to
act llpOn the theory that their interests
can be promoted by treating business men.

VIII Explain Our Immigration Laws
to Italian Authorities.

NEW YORK. Oct Sherman Stump.
United States Commissioner of Immigra-
ton, sailed on the steamer Paris this MORN
ing and will proceed Immediately to Rome.
Under instructions which he received yes
terday from Secretary Carlisle. of the
Treasury Department. he will consult
with the Royal Secretary OF the Interior OF
the Kingdom of Italy" in relation TO the
emigration of Italians TO the United States.
lie is also directed To appear in person be-
fore the Italian Parliament, which con-
venes in November. and TO hurry back here
before Congress meets so as to report the
result of his mission in Italy. That the
mission is urgent is indicated by the haste
of Colonel Stumps departure. and by the
peremptory instructions of the Secretary CT
the Treasury.
Baron FaVa. the italian ambassador was
long in correspondence with the Treasury
Department about the deportation OF Ital-
ian emigrants. and the lynch!nE OF Italians
at New Orleans few years ago caused an
hi feeling that has never been entirely re-
moved Italy now asks that properly ac-
credited authority shall appear before it's
Parliament and explain the workings and
restrictions of the United State irnmigra-,
ton laws. so as to obviate the necessity or
deportation and prevent fruitless jour-
neYs.

The popular estimate as to the size of
crowds is apt to be wild guessing. Persons
who have had experience in addressing or
dealing with crowds can make fairly in
telligent estimate of the number of peo-
pie they contain, but without such expert
ence the guessing is apt to be wild, with a
tendency generally to greatly exaggerate

closely crowded. either. Perhaps there is
no fairer way of approximately estimating
the size of an outdoor crowd than by the
acre. An acre contains 43,56O square feet
In an ordinary outdoor assemblage each
person will occupy about two feet square,
of four square feet. People can be packed
closer than that but allowing for the out
side edges of crowd, that is fair esti-
mate. On this basis acre would hold

Bryan at the Statehouse was not compact.
but it certainly did not occupy an acre
and half. A very liberal estimate of it's
numbers would be 10000, and probably Is 900
would be nearer the truth. The Sentinel
says the crowd numbered between 60 600
and $4,000. This is equivalent to- saying
there were from six to seven acres of peo-
pie, which everybody who saw the crowd
knows would be a gross exaggeration. The
truth is Indianapolis has held dozens of
larger crowds than were here on Tuesday.
The probability is that the size of all the
crowds Mr.. Bryan has addressed has been
exaggerated.

so self-evident truth. 1t was not neces-
sary to make an elaborate argument In
support of that which no intelligent man in
that day disputed. When Jefferson drafted
the Declaration of independence he did not
enter into an elaborate argument to prove
that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienaele rights. and that among these
are life, liberty ard the pursuit of happi-

be self-evident.'' No more did he or any of
the early statesmen think it necessary to
enter into an argument to prove that the
commercial ratio between silver and gold
should be the coinage ratio.
