BIsBEE, Dec. %, 1896. coPPERiNGs.

i A large number of csttlemen end al-o s few strangers came in on the train last night to spend Christmas in town. A aunbsr Of races are also to come of during the afternoon and this will add quite little to the attrac- | tions.
 Quite . number of Bisbee's young 1 folks from the uniyersity at Tucson came in on the train last evening to spend the holidays At home; among them we noticed Bert Warner, Ed and Nellie Hnghes, Lillie Burr and Her bert Brows. They are ali well pleased with the school and arrangements there and their greatest desire in all cases is to be able to complete their various courses.
 The eniertsinment given Wednes- day evening by Unity Rebecca L )dge No. was quite novelty to the pso pie of Bisbee, and was all of the suc- cess which it so richly deserved to be. The ladies oi the lodge put themselves to great deal of trouble in getting up the various features but they were fully repaid by the numerous com nents of approval which they heard on ali sides. The features were sll well received without exception from first 10 last, and the singing was par ticuiaTly praisewoIthy. Al the con llslon of the entertainment hot coli fee and light luncheon were served b, the ladies. after which the floor was q ared for dancin and the young lss enjoyed themselves 10 the full ill The ususl hour of closing had long been pact. Taken all in All it was a mUst esj 5yabIe affair from the stari and we hope our fair friends will not forget that they gnow how to get up good cntsrlaiumeBt snd will favor us with aooihsr soon as occasion offers.
 The uEual Christmas tree festivities for the young folks took place in the Library H.ll lat evening and drew an unusually large crowd. The little ones were all wei, remembered and were ss happy ss they possibly could be. This is ope of the mos, pleasing Of our yearly events and one which affords much fun and enjoyment IS anything that ever takes place and we are much pleased to note 1t grow ing in favor. Alter the regular giiis for the children were distributed, 8 large number of presents which had been bsnGeI n by various parties for presentation were gwen out. This feature always occasions a number Of pleasant surprises and ss usual some one rem entered us in a manner call ,nI,:ed to subject us to the laughter of tae multitude. We guess its all right though and bear the young lady no i'll will for her little sally, and, now that the thing isall over and the laugh pa.sed we wlllsel.eerfnlly return her delicate dfink cup, If she so desires, as we know that she must feel for it as for lost companion. It Is not our desire to deprive anyone of their eus- t9msry luxuries ahd 30 we feel that of right the cup ought to be returned to -its rightful owner.

Some OF the Republicans sought tc
take advantage of his inexperienco by
interrupting him with questions that
might have puzzled much older heads.
But Mr.. Bryan frightened under this

First Recognition In Congress.
The first cheers the young man won
from his fellow congressman were clio
tied by characteristic piece Df wit.

as follows:

from the Democratic policy upon the
tariff question. 1t means a more equal

less interested in7 the issue discussed.
After Bryan had declined renomi-
nation for o third congressional term,
he became editor in chief of the World
Herald of Omaha, in which he was to
advocate the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, and incidentally, it was said,
| to promote his candidacy for the United
| States senate. Another feature of his
management was to be % ahostility to the
administration and all that partook of
| Clcvclandism.
Mr.. Bryan took hold Sept. 1, 1894,
and all went well until tho Nebraska
Republican state central committee
made a contract by which it should con-
troll two columns in the editorial page
Mr.. Bryan found that the Republicans
| were using their space TO publish matter
detrimental to his senatorial project and
he made fight in the court, which was
decided in favor of his enemies
When Bryan's aspirations were blasted
by the election of John M. Thurston to
the senate, the silver tongued young
orator retired to private life as an tex
congressman.
He still continued, however, to advo-
| cate in every way the free coinage of
silver, and made frequent trips through
the west and south advocating it.
MIR. Bryan's Wife.
Mr.. Bryan's wife was Miss Mary E.
Baird, the only daughter of prosper
GUS merchant in Perry, Ills. Opinions
seem to differ somewhat as to whether
sho is handsome or otherwise, but the
fact is, she is what would be called
really handsome and attractive She is
withal a woman of rare mental endow-
ments, is rather studiOus and very re-
served. But she has an immense amount
of determination, and found no difficulty
in passing her examination for admis-
sion to the bar. She does not care for
fashion or society and pays no attention
whatever to either.
AT the time Bryan made his famous
tariff speech in tho house he generously
declared his wife deserved share Of
the praise he got for it. Mrs Bryan was
III the gallery ana heard every word Of
the speech. She noted the volume Of
tone required to fill the hall, and by
means of signals communicated to her
husband until she had satisfied herself
that lie had struck the most effective
tone.
Mrs Bryan can be very sarcastic
when sufficiently reused, and ut any
timo viii say droll ~itty things with
only gloaln of smile i'll her dark
eyes.

rHE rREAsURv DErrCrr.

n the excitement Of the campaign
the revenue Of the government IS not
receiving the attention which was ac-
corded At a few months ago. but the
customary deficit ID still there. Uncle
sam continues to spend more than ne
takes in.
Everything has been done which the
hnaneiers said was necessary in order
to put the government on a sound fin
anciaI basis. The purchase Of silver
bullion was stopped. the gold reserve
has been restored and is growing con-
stantly. confidence has returned as is
evidenced by the general advance in
prices and the revival of business. yet
the receipts of the government do not
equal the expenditures.
The hnanciers seem to overlook the
important fact that a government
which is SO largely dependent upon
duties on imports for revenue. as is the
United States, can only obtain sufn-
eiant money from such a source when
the people buy largely Of foreign goods
and if they buy largely of foreign
goods there cannot be a balance Of
trade in favor of this country. When
the balance of trade is not on the side
of the United States 1t must be on the
side of Europe. When it is on the side
of Europe it must be paid in gold
drawn from the United States treasury
and bonds must be issued to obtain
more gold.
The truth of the matter Is that those
who have been managing the country's
financial affairs and their advisers are
either wholly incompetent or dishonest
and have made mess Of the whole
thing either from Ignorance or design.
1T is time they made way for some
body who win try a different system.

AFTER WATSON.

The candidate Of three parties for
the presidency "aint namin' no names
but fguratively he had his finger
pointed directly at Mr. Watson when
he remarked at Memphis that this is
no time for personal or party consider
ations. and that he himself would re-
tire from the ticket without hesitation
if it were shown that the good of the
cause which he represents would be
furthered thereby.
Having accepted the Populist nomi-
nation the candidate probably feels
that he now has a right to speak re-
garding Watson's attitude though he
has refrained from doing so before.
Mr.. Watson says he would rather lay
his head on the block than to get or
the ticket. He seems incapable Of see
ing what is apparent to everybody else
and that is that after this election, no
matter which ticket succeeds. 1t win he

Some riders could even scratch their backs

and looking out for Instructions his face
worked up into a circus and menagerie
combined, and he was aware that small
boys cried out in banter and adults stop

ONE CANTON EXCURSION.
Several Hundred Laboring Men Take
the Free Ride but Cheer Bryan.

Cleveland, Oct 7.-Several hundred
employees Of the Kilby Manufacturing
company, the Cleveland Hardware com
pany and the HIP Nail company went to
Canton Saturday. their expenses being
paid, but contrary to the usual custom,
the men who are in q large majority
Bryanites, did not make any effort to
conceal the fact that they were for the
silver candidate, first, last and all the
time.
In the case of the HIP Nail company
every inducement was offered the men
to take the trip. Their expenses were
paid and in addition to this, the men
say. the company gave a fine maclkin-
tosh overcOat and blue felt hat to
every man who took the trip. With these
inducements and the knowledge that
questions would not be asked the en-
pI0yes Of the company turned out in
large numbers. In the case of the Kill
by company the success of getting the
men out was not SO pronounced In
kilby shop No. ] only six men consent
ed to go and in Kilby NO. the boiler
makers absolutely refused to partici-
pate in the demonstration In the case
of the Cleveland Hardware company
the men went in large numbers but the
Bryan sentiment prevailed AS the men
marched down street to the depot In
the afternoon there was one continual
cheer for Bryan, while the enthusiasm
over Mckinley was not nearly as pro
n0unced.
When the delegation arrived in the
city It marched up the street yelling;
who are We2
who are we2
I'VE are for Bryan. don't you seer"
The cry was taken up and thousands
joined the procession. The men march
ed around the square and cheered the
free silver men who were carrying on
the arguments near the band stand,
and then marched to the Plain Dealer
office where a halt was ordered.
who paid our fare to Canton" cried
one man.

ingmen
'swho paid our way baek?'' was the
next question
Mark Hanna was the unanimous
answer.
who paid all our expenses?" came
another query.

who bought the HIP boys the coats
and hats2'' asked the serious citizen.

And whom are we going to vote

Three cheers were given for Bryan
time and time again
When the next train arrived the same
programme was carried out The men
said that they were perfectly willing
to take a Saturday afternoon trip to
Canton as long as their expenses were
paid and they were assured of a good
time.
