MAKING AN ISSUE.

ness Mems Campaign"

Democrats Issue a Document on the "EusI'
ness Mems Campaign"
A Washington correspondent says that
political affairs are quiet at the several
headquarters. The weather seems to af-
feet even the politicians. At Republican
headquarters letters from Kansas, Iowa
and Missouri all spoke of improvement
in the political outlook and said that all
that was needed at this time was great
quantities of financial literature. The
Democratic congressional compaign COM
mittee has issued document on the BUS
iness Mems Campaign" 1t says that the
Republicans propose such campaign and
that the Democracy accepts the issue.
The document first quotes MIR. Bryan's
declaration that the farmer or the hired
employe is as much q business man as the
banker or the big merchant. 1t then gives
list of the number of persons employed
in fourteen gainful pursuits. including ag-
riculture, mining, manufacturing, trans
portation, the purpose being to show the
comparatively small percentage compris-
ed under the head of bankers, brokers and
wholesalers. The document comments on
these figures, winding up with the asser-
ton that from the Republican standpoint
only the few bankers, brokers, whole
salers and corporation officers are busi-
ness men, while from the Democratic
standpoint the millions of farmers, pro-
ducers and laborers of all classes are as
much business men rs the few who live,
thrive and grow rich by trading in the
products of labor

A MANLY MAN.

1t is every day becoming palmer that
the gold forces recognize William j.
Bryan as the most formidable candi-
date that could have been placed in the
presidential race. Aside from the Won
derful strength given the Democratic
party by its fearless declaration for
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1G to /, the unassailable character OF
Mr.. Bryan both as statesman and a
citizen makes him the nominee upon
whom all eyes are fixed.
The opposition is laying much stress
upon the youth Of the Nebraska man,
yet therein lies his great power to win
the support Of the majority of the vet
ers. His nomination marks new era
in the history of the country. 1t writes
the word "finis" to period that covers
more than thirty years. The war heroes
have passed by and the nation is glad
to turn to leader who represents the
union Of North and South, and who
champions cause that affects the pros
perity of all the people. Mr.. Bryan was
only five years old when the civil strife
ended, and the events that have been
personal experiences to the men who
have occupied the White House since
Lincoln's time are q stirring part Of a
written history to him. With the ex-
ceptlon of Mr.. Cleveland, every presi-
dent since William j. Bryan's child
hood has served In the field Of battle.
Four years henca when the next term
of office as chief executive of the Unit
ed States shall be concluded, all the
active business Of the country will be
in the hands of the new generation.

MAIL TRAIN DiTcHED.

Engineer and Fireman Arc Almost Instantly
Killed.
Thursday morning the fast mail train
bound eastward on the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern road dashed through
weak culvert near Otis, Ind, and the
engineer and fireman were instantly kill
ed. The accident Is one of the worst the
Lake Shore has had in years, but fortu-
nately the passengers on the train es-
capped injury. A washout, brought about
by a heavy cloudburst, which suddenly
struck that region Wednesday night, was
the cause of the accident. The wrecked
train was the fast mail for the east which
leaves Chicago at 2:45 every morning,
and is known as No. A. 1t does not, as
rule, carry many passengers this side of
Cleveland. Those who were on board
were in the sleeper and coach at the rear.
The train consisted of one of the large
engines in use on the limited trains of the
Lake Shore, two postal cars, a baggage
car, day coach and Wagner sleeper. All
the cars with the exception of the day
coach and the Wagner sleeping car left
the track, and for all those who were on
the train 1t was an almost miraculous
escape from the sudden death which the
unfortunate engineer and fireman in the
cab of the engine suffered. As 1t was the

their confusion, when they realized what
had taken place, was great. Death came

bodies were horribly mutilated, especially
that of Griffin. Both of his legs were
torn entirely from the body AID were

and the remains are in such n condition
as to be almost unrecogniZable.

WAR ON THE DEFENsELess.

Japanese In Formosa Aim to Stamp Out the
Native Population.
From far Formosa, where for upward
of a year Japanese troops have been
vainly striving to crush out the seeds of
post -bellum opposition to Japanese inno-
yations, comes q story which, for bar
barous cruelty and defiant violation Of
all ethics of civilization, fortunately has
few parallels In history, even of the saw
age races of the world. The terrible tale
of rapine, murder and wanton cruelty
reached Victoria, B. c., by the steamer
Empress of Japan and fully bears out the
statement on the situation In Formosa
given publicity by the Rev. DR.. Mackay,
on his return to that island six months
ago. Other equally credible correspond
ents are now the witnesses against Japan,
and the burden of their arraignment
against Japan Is that, seeing neither fame
nor profit to be gained In the subjusation
of the Formosans by the arts of modern
warfare, recognized as legitimate by civ
ilized nations. the japanese troops sent
to the island have embarked on crusade
of blood, their object being to crush out
all signs of discomfort by, as far rs possl-
BILE, exterminating the native population.
The policy of determination has been
Aealously pursued from the beginning OF
the campaign, and what with the destruc-
ton of their crops, the burning of their
villages, the desecration of the graves Of
their loved ones, the ill-treatment of their
wives and daughters and the butchery Of
their innocent children, the people are
driven to the last eXpedients of despera-

DYING BY SCORES.
New York Experiences the Worst Scourge Of
Heat In Her History.

New York Experiences the Worst scourge Of
Heat In Her History.
Monday was another scorching day,
and 1SS people were killed by the heat In
Greater New York and in the dense New
Jersey population that borders on the
west shore of the North river. This ter
rible mortality was not entirely due to
the heat of the day. 1t was due to the
terrific heat that had scourged that VI
c!aity for six days, and which seemed to
eliminate in all its fury Monday. The
death list for New York city alone aggre-
gated eighty-two, and it Is certain that all
the names were not reported to the au-
thorities. Gangs Of men went through
the East Side at night opening every hy-
drant. From Houston to Division street,
east Of the Bowery, every street was filed
with running water. Half-naked men and
women plunged into the hydrant streams.
Children lay in the water in the cutters.
The official heat record was 01 degrees,
with 65 percentage Of humidity. 1t Is the
most fearful scourge Of weather that ever
came upon New York. There was no re-
lief in any part Of the country. At Chi
cago. 60 deaths were directly traceable
to the heat, which registered 9S degrees.
There is singular lack Of fatal prostra-
ton In the Southern cities.

Wheat Clsplacing Rye.

Thomas Ewing Moore, commercial
agent at Weinar. Germany, has forward
ed to the Department of State a report on
the consumption of wheat and rye flour
in that country. Since 1879, he says, the
consumption of rye bread has steadily
decreased and wheat bread shows a more
than proportional advance. AS the Unit
ed States exports large quantities Of
wheat and wheat flour to Germany. Mr..
Moore says, this is of great Importance.
The year 1895 was remarkable for an ex-
traordinarily large consumption of both
breadstuffs. OF wheat there was used
27S pounds per capita and of rye lol
pounds per capita. This was owing to
large supply and small prices. Last year
rye sold for $2S.50 per 1000 kilos and
wheat $33.91 for the same quantity. The
prices of wheat and rye flour per 22O.46
pounds in that year were: Wheat flour,
S5.1T; rye, $3.9S. The flour imports have
steadily increased since 1890 with the eX-
ception of 1895, when they were slightly
lower than the previous year. The i'm
ports are still largely in excess of the ex-
ports. The imports last year were 3D.
537 tons, of the value of 81, 49, 600. The
United States furnished but 1910 tons.
a comparatively small quantity, and takes
third place among the countries exporting
grain to Germany, the Russian CONNER
cial treaty giving that country great ad-
vantage. American -four is more expen-
sive than any other kind, and this fact
accounts for small imports of that article.
Advantage should be taken by the Ameri-
can farmer and exporter, says Mr.. Moore,
of the growing demand for these articles
in Germany.

Sh oots a Barber.

George Paul, white cigarmal1er, shot
and mortally wounded Charles White, a
colored barber, in front of Main street

quarrel with White several times. After
saying that he would kill the "nigger,"
he went away to borrow revolver.
When he returned White was sitting in
front of his barber shop. He stepped up
to Paul saying he understood Paul had
threatened to kill him. For answer the
latter drew the revolver, placed it to
Whites breast, and fired. The wounded
man fell to the sidewalk and Paul fled.
He is still fugitive. The ball struck

Immense Gathering In Madison
square Garden-Candidate Talks for
Two Hours-Makes the Effort of His
Democratic Candidates Accent.


William Jennings Bryan formally ac-
repted the Democratic presidential nom-
nation at Madison Square Garden, in
New York, wednesday night. Mr.. Bry-
un's run across country had played havoc
with his voice. He had gone to bed the
uighr previous with well-developed at
tack of laryngitis and had been con-
fined to his room under the doctors care
all of Wednesday. 1t was Mt first feared
that he would not be able to speak at
all. Mr.. Bryan, for the most part, made
no effort to deal in oratorv, but confined
himself to the reading of carefully pre-
pared address, from whose text he did
'ot vary, as from his manuscript he only
low and then lifted his eyes.
1t was a scene to inspire an orator.
Madison Square Garden is q beautiful
auditorium with It's shallow galleries, its
great tiers of boxes at the rounded ends
of the hall. its low roof studded with
electric lights. Eighteen thousand peo-
pie had assembled in the big place ut s
o'clock. Every one of the $500 seats was
occupied, and 10000 persons stood in the
open spaces at the ends of the hall
These people had assembled with huge
stock of good nature, and perhaps one in
five of them came with genuine enthusi-
asm in his heart. All were there to greet
one upon whom the mantle of fame had
dramatically fallen. Aside from the men,
bers of the National Notification Commit
tee, the prominent Democrats who hon
ored the occasion with their presence
hailed principally from the West and
South. Senators Jones and Stewart Occu-
pied conspicuous seats. Senators Roach
of North Dakota, Blanchard of Louis

Kentucky were in the rear of the plat
form. as were Representatives Livingston
of Georgia and Richardson of Tennes-

much confusion at the entrances. When

silver be standard money as well as

have double standard of values? Why
can We not make the value of so many

ting from the respective quantities Of
