This is a campaign of education,
and the newspapers are playing a
more important part in it than in any
campaign of the past. The amount
of printers ink that is spread in re-
porting meetings and speeches in full
has never been Appropriated in any
previous political contest. Bryan has
been given an amount of attention
that has been given no other pubic
speaker for so long a time in his
swinging around the political circle,
and that attention has come in the
great majority of instances from
newspapers that are not in sympathy
with his declarations. 1t shows the
fairness of the press, and their intel
ligence as we'll, for in no way could
the Bryan heresy be so well counter
acted as to plainly set it forth in the
words of it's windy author.

David +. Hill missed the golden OPP
portunity of his life in not following
up the splendid record that he made
at Chicago in his protest against par
ty backsliding and reputation. The
cowardice that has since marked his
course has Disguised his friends and
given him no place with his enemies.
There is no man in New York politics
so dead today as he is. 1t matters
not who may be or not be elected to
Office in New York David b. Hill is
outside of the breast works. No
matter what kind of a legislature may
be chosen it will not chose David B.
Hill for q. S. senator. Down to the
hour of the meeting at Buffalo he did
not know whether to go or stay at
home. Flower and Whitney aud
Cochran and the rest have grown ut
terly sick of his incertitude. Had he
sounded the trumpet for sound money
and read the riot act to Tammany
that body might have refrained from
casting in its lot with the free silver
ties at Buffalo, and in that case Da.
vid would have been the largest man
in sight within the house Of the
! Gotham Democracy.

There are indications that the state
Republican executive committee will
meet half way the overtures of the
lily whites of the state, for settle
ment of their political differences
and so arrange matters that the
whole Republican vote of the state
can be thrown in one direction. Were
This done there is no doubt that the
combined vote of the Populists and
the Republicans would carry Texas
against the forces of the Bryan-Sew-
all crowd. There is wisdom in mass
ing forces and no sense in dividing
them in the face of the enemy. The
day of Texas redemption draws some
what higher.

The railway authorities, noticeably
the presidents of the more important
roads, are denying over their own
signatures the statement of Bryan
that they are coercing their men.
President of the Big Four railroads,
ingalls,, in a circular to his employees
says: ''What l ask you to do is to
read all on the subject that you can
get hold of, think over it and vote as
you think best. If, after studying the
question, you decide to vote for Bry-
an and Sewall, against what we con-
slider the best interests of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio, and any one dis
chares you for so voting, come to me
and l will discharge the man who dis
charged you and put you back. This

ployes of the country will poll half a
million more votes for Mckinley than
were ever polled for a Republican
candidate before. 1t places the whole
railway vote of the country at about
100000, and of this amount only a
small proportion is at the polls, the
Republican vote in that class being
from 10000 to 10000. The vote for
this year is placed at 100000 for the
Mckinley ticket, to which the editor
affixes his solemn observation that no
coercion of any kind has been en-
ployed to secure the vote. Over $780,
600 names of railway employees have
been signed to sound money clubs

HE FOOLED THE COURT.

A Deceptive Individual Whose Fine Did Not Correspond With His Capital.
 Up in Prescott the other day a rough looking sort of individual was brought before Police Judge Ling, charged with having raised a disturbance in a place of evil resort and ill repute. The man said 1t had been so, SO that all that re- mained was to fix the penalty. Ling, who Is a graduate of the Territorial Normal school at Tempe and who has been flim-fammed so much as to have become both wary and wise, sized the man up carefully and noted the flat tened condition of the trousers pckets then he adjudged that the peace of the city had been damaged to the extent of $1O, which he sized up as the extreme limit of the culprit's capital.
 The disgust of the magistrate may be imagined when the defendant, smiling most broadly, extended a paw toward him and thanking him warmly for his leniency and fellow feeling, proceeded to dig from hip pocket a roll of bills as thick as a prohibition petition. There must have been several thou sand dollars in the wad. Defendant had to search to find bill small enough to pay his fine, but was in turn paralyzed when the court austere- ly drew himself up to the extreme limit of his 5 foot 5, and remarked with dignity that would have won the ad- miration of a dining car steward: "Sor!!! You are altogether too fla miliar. I will fine you s10 more for contempt of court!"
 And the stranger again paid and went forth free, yet wondering, while the court did penance for his woeful lack of perception.
