Had Mr.. Bryan been elected presi.
dent 1t is very likely the choice of vice,
president would have fallen to the SEN
ate, for the division Of votes would
have prevented either Sewall or Wat
son from having a majority in the
electoral college.
AS it is, Watson will have at least
81 votes in the electoral college, ana
may receive more. He will get four
votes from Louisiana, five from North
Carolina, four Nebraska, two Washing,
ton, one from Utah, one from Montana
and four Missouri In 1892 the popu-
lists had % votes in the electoral COL
!ege.
In other respects the party seems to
have been as successful as in the past,
or more so. Populist committeeman
claim the election Of twenty-one con-
gressmen from California, Idaho, Col
orado, Alabama, Nebraska Kansas,
North Carolina and South Dakota. In
the present congress the populists have
only six members They also hope to
secure senators from Kansas, South
Dakota, Idaho and possibly North Car
DINA. This will leave them with about
the same strength in the senate as they
have at the present time.-Chicago

The public debt has been on the IL
crease for several months.
Tbs increase for March was 1851,
OS7.
The increase for May was $2,S97 ,450.
Tbs increase for July was $11,273.-
624.
The increase for August was $12,-
S12,O71.
The increase for September was
$2,191,s45.
The increase for October was ST.
5S1, 69S.
This is not very good showing for
gold standard but the people have en-
dorsed it and the secretary of the
treasury should keep it. If it is wrong
the people ought to have condemned
it, but as they did not, one can only
conclude that it is all right and ought
to be perpetuated. When Mckinley
gets the helm, with John Sherman as
secretary of the treasury, he may be
able to beat this record. A sound
money business revival ought at last
to increase the public debt fifteen mill
lions per month.-Southern Mercury.

MAY NEVER BE SCALED,

Tho Top OF Mount Everett Is Beyond
the Reach of Man.
Prof. Ugolina Messo of Turin has
made some interesting experiments on
the effects experienced in ascending to
high attitudes, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. All climbers of lofty noun
tains are aware that at great heights,
such a the summit of Mont Blanc, re-
spiration becomes more or less trouble
some, the heart beats rapidly and some
times irregularly and feeling of ex-
haustion, often accompanied by nausea,
is experienced These effects arise
largely from the rarity of the air, and
since the atmosphere becomes less
dense the higher one goes 1t is evil
Aent that a limit must soon be reach
ed above which man cannot ascend.
Prof. Messo made his first experiments
on Mont Rosa, next to Mont Blanc
the highest peak of the Alps, where he
assembled to an elevation exceeding 49,
900 feet without serious inconvenience.
Returning to Turin, he made his next
ascent, so to speak, without ascending
at all. In other words, he produced an
imitation of the rare atmosphere of a
very lofty mountain top by partially
exhausting the air from a large pneu-
matte chamber in which he had shut
himself. When the air in the cham
Der correspondent in density with that
which would be found at height Of
24,272 feet above sea level he suffered
such i'll effects that he could not carry
the experiments further. The height
to which Prof. Messo thus simulated
as ascent is almost mile less than
that of Mount Everest, so that it seems
improbable that man will ever be able
to set his foot on the Hottest peak Of
the earth.

A China man's Pun.

DR.. Macmillan, secretary of the Pres

me the other day of a Chinaman who
actually perpetrated an American pun
1t happened at the University of Mon

yer was raging among the students and
penetrated even to the kitchen, where
Ching Lee, or whatever his name was
presided as cook. The housekeeper OF

the kitchen one day. Ching Lee, u
said she, you may cook some hominy

THE GOLD BUGS
VIII Have a Hard Time Redeeming
Their Pledges.

VIII Have Hard Time Redeeming
Their Pledges.
The goldbugs will now have hard
time redeeming their pledges. All
kinds of rank breaks were made to
hold weak minded voters into line, and
already we hear mutterings of disap-
pointed expectations. Men who were
promised big jobs at big wages imme-
diately after McKinley's election are
beginning to look up the prospects and
are finding out that they have been
hoodooed. The next day after McKin-
ley was elected the packing house en-
ployes in Chicago went on strike be-
cause they were not given the usual
winter raise in wages. The simple
election of Mckinley was to dispense
all indications of hard times and give
everybody work at much higher wages
than ever before heard of, but the Chi
cago packing houses refuse now to pay
as much wages as they did last year
during the panic. The silver forces
told the laboring classes they would
have to work for less wages under a
continued gold standard and now they
are getting taste of it already. The
writer heard man swearing, Satur-
day, about his disappointment. He said
they had promised him the brick plant
would start up Immediately after Nc
Kinley's election, and now they say
1t will not do so until next March. So
he has been hoodooed out of his vote.
Millions of men were made to believe
that immense building operations
would start as soon as confidence"
was restored by McKinley's election,
that all the factories would start the
next day and this country would be
short of working men. We heard one
Kinley was that he was promised
good job of painting a house and now
he expects to make several dollars out
Of it. Sold his vote for a promise, and
now If, like most such promises, it fails
to materialize, he will have sold out
cheaper than did Judas when he got
his thirty pieces of silver. In fact this
is one way in which the goldbugs won
their victory, by promises that mean
nothing, and when their dupes find
that they have been roped in there
will be wailing and crashing of teeth
and those fellows will be wishing for
another election in which to vote for
q change.-Farmer's Tribune.

DESTRUCTION OF PoMeEn.
Buried So Deep That 1t Was Lost for
Sixteen Centuries.

Buried So Deep That It Was Lost for
Sixteen Centuries.
When one hears of a buried city, It
Is very difficult to realize how a city
can be buried so deep as to be utterly
lost and the place of it know 1t no
more for sixteen centuries. Yet this
% what happened to Pompeii and Her.
Sulaneum, Stablae and Retina and
ahirteen other cities of the plain on
the ninth day before the Kalends OF
September, in the first year Of the
reign Of the Emperor Titus. Thus 1t
was when Pompeii was buried When
next the sun shone into her streets
George III was King of England. Six
teen years before the burial Of the city
an earthquake had done so much mis-
restored; but Mount Vesuvius had been
quiet ever since. The Gath Of August
was a terrible hot day. Most Of the
people were In the amphitheatre at a
wild beast fight, when they saw a
strange cloud rise from Vesuvius. 1t
seemed like pine tree: the trunk rose
UP high into the heavens and then
spread out it's branches-some white,
some dull, some spotted-until slowly
drenching themselves from the parent
trunk they began to darken the sky.
Pliny, the elder, over at Misenum, was
reading in his study, when his sister
came to tell him Of the strange cloud.
He ordered a light galley to be got
ready, and as he was coming out, with
| his tablets in hand, ready to note down
what he saw, the mariners belonging
to the galleys at Retina came up to
| implore of him to go to their help. BY
the time Pliny got there with his gal
leys the ashes were falling thicker
blackened stones and pumice. Vast
fragments were rolling down the
mountain, and the sea had suddenly
retreated. The pilot was for putting
back, but the undaunted old philoso-
pher admiral would not go back.
Fortune" he said, "favors the brave"
Everybody knows something about the
rest, and how the poor old gentleman,
being weakly and asthmatic, was suf-
located by sudden outburst of flames
and sulphur fumes. In the awful
darkness, when the sudden rush Of
flames was the only light which pierre
ed the dense smoke, the fields were full
Of terrified people fleeing they knew not
whittier. 1t is true that the destruc-
ton was not instantaneous, and great
number Of the inhabitants saved their
lives, and even took away a good deal
Of their treasure, but it is estimated
that at least 100000 persons were en-
!ombed in Pompeii, Herculaneum, and
The other cities of the plain The I'M
,arthing of Pompeii, which began in
1850 and which is still going on, shows
hat there is little difference in the life
Of to-day and the life of 1900 years ago.
People wrote on walls and cut their
names on seats, just as we do now.

SoOO,OOO,OOO CAPITAL.
GROVER WILL HAVE 1T TO
START A BANK,
Qe VIII EndeavOr to Control the Flnan-
COS of the United States-Would Sure
IL Bring Revolution with Win
chesters Instead of Ballots.

It is given out now through the AS
ISOLATED Press, the monopoly mouth
piece, that Cleveland is not to initiate
General Grant in a trip around the
world, but irv reason Is given to the
public for the "King's change OF
mind" Accidentally, sound money has
come in possession of the real reason.
He is going to start national bank
in New York city as soon as he leaves
the White House next March, at least
our Washington correspondent so
learned.
1t seems that someone, high in au-
thority in Secretary Carlisle's office,
told a friend so, confidentially, IN
speaking about his future plans, and
the conversation was overheard by our
correspondent informant, very re-
liable person. This official is to have
an important post in 1.-The greatest
banking institution in the world"-it
will probably be called the First Ma
tional Bank of North America. Roths-
childs own South America completely.
"Grover has become ambitious" says
this friend, "since he has amassed sew
eral millions so easily, to become the
richest man in the world, and he is
aevoting all his energies and the ad-
vantages of the high Office he holds,
10 make a foundation for his bank that
will make it firm as the Rock Of Glib
raltar.'" He proposes to out-do Mich
olas Biddle's United States bank
scheme, and so be able to corner the
people, and be the real ruler of the
United States by being president of the
bank that will have its powers to
block the wheels of government when
ever it chooses-that is, If the election
is not so close as to give basis to cry
fraud" and hold on where he is.
The capital stock of this bank is to
be $500, 0O0,O 900, based on United States
bonds, $262, 100000 of which he has al
ready issued himself to Pierpont Nor
gan and others in the deal. The re-
mainder he will issue between election
day and the 4th of next March, If the
people will stand it; if not, Mckinley
is to issue them-Mark Hanna and
John Sherman, no doubt, having
agreed to do this in consideration OF
Grover using his influence to create
the Palmer uckner ticket to aid in
McKinley's election.
This bank is to be competitor OF
the banks of England and France, and
old Rothschild himself-the old Boss
Jews American adopts are discount
ing him at his own game Of hog
Pierpont Morgan, Benedict, Whitney
and Stetson are to be fellow directors
1t is believed that Dave Hill has eyes
upon the attorneyship of the bank so
fixed that he doesn't take any interest
in the present election, but Carlisle is
slated as head legal adviser. Prob
ably Nicholas Biddle's bank that Jack
son squelched out will appear in his
tory as the smallest satellite in the
heavens to the sun in comparison to
Growers colossal scheme. 1t will be
the government, and Mckinley, If
elected, will be simply a subaltern to
Grover the Great.
Such will be the tremendous power
of the gold standard if Bryan is beaten.

Leading democrats evidently think
that the peoples party belongs to the
democratic party by reason of annex
alton. This opinion seems also to be
shared by some populists who have
succeeded in reaching the pie counter
by the aid of democratic votes. This
is very serious mistake. The peo-
pies party has not surrendered its Or
ganization. If there be those who have
formerly belonged to it desire to Join
either the democratic or republican
party they have a perfect right to do
so, but the peoples party organization
will be sustained.

The people should not forget the
pledges for bimetallism made by the
republican party. That party now has
Nep opportunity to prove its sincerity.
should not only make an active and
arrest effort to bring about an inter-
national agreement for free silver but
it should at once set the mint to work
coming the bullion in the treasury and
keep 1t up until all is coined, or it is
seen that the silver dollar is going con-
siderably below par in the hands of the
people. The republican party now has
a great opportunity to do something.

A Sensible Comparison.

If the postoffices were under corpo-
rate control, as the railroads are, and
Disseminated against certain places OF
interests in favor Of others as the rail.
roads do, many enterprises which now
flourish, would be crushed. If the rail-
roads were owned by the government
as the postal service is, and run in the
interest of all the people without dis
elimination, many enterprises which
now cannot exist, would spring up and
flourish. See?-Daily Tribune -

1t will be noticed that when the
prices of farm products advance the
railroad companies always take advan-
tage of 1t by advancing the freight
rates. They also charge what the
traffic will bear" If we had govern
ment ownership of railroads this would
not be done and the farmer would re-
ceive the full benefit of the advance in
prices.

In one of his speeches in his western
tour, General Sickles said: 1.-THE
tramps are unanimously for Bryan"
There is nothing strange about that at
all. He might have added with equal
truthfulness, "the fellows who made
the tramps are all for Mckinley"
Most tramps are not so from choice.
They are out of work, and in this age
when the man gets out of job and is
looking for another he is called a
tramp. The tramps would, therefore,
naturally lean toward the friend who
would favor a condition that would
give them a job at living wages.
