cbrated BLACK Friday of Grants adj.
ADMINISTRATION; but it showed what the
holders OF the purSc-strngs of the coun-
try would try to do in case of Bryan's
election They need not worry them
selves, however. The Democratic nominee
will receive substantial electoral ma
jority next Tuesday, and it is the almost
certainty Of this that has started money
holders of the country, us IL last resort. to
tighten their grip and compel men by
fear OF a panic TO support Mckinley. If
Bryan is elected it will be for four wears,
and in the event of II long financial dis
turbance, it will be the holders OF Amer
ican securities who will suffer the most if
they attempt to unload A panic will be
more disastrous to those who have money
TO lose than to those who have nothing Mt
stake, rs the agitatcrs will discover be-
fore the end is reached. The furry in
Wall Street was, however, a pretty sure
sign that the capitalists there believe
Bryan will be elected and will take amy
step in reach that promises to turn the
tide in the direction of Mckinney and

are fast passing away. Trusts and monop.
olies will not much longer be the chief
factors in conducting the industrial sys-
tenn and many interests of this country.
The people are rising III their might, and
underline leadership of the magnetic and
Snvincible statesman of Nebraska, are
marching surely to victory on Tuesday
next. The money changers of the East
have ut last awakened to the realization
of the fact that Bryan will be elected

1.-THE DOLLAR OF OUR DADDIEs.

(By William Broaddus Cridlin.)
When Johnnie Bull placed tax on tea
Our fathers vowed he'd rue it,
They marched on.board ofJohnnie's ships
In Boston harbor threw it,
Then Johnnie sent his red coats here;
He wished he hadn't, laddies;
And now he thinks he'll steal away
The dollar of our daddies.
Chorus:
Close up ranks, boys, forward, march,
We're going to whip the caddies,
And have again l6 to |,
The dollar of our daddies
Now Washington and Je lerson.
Both thought twas detrimental
For Johnnie Bull to take away
y single continental:
But now we've so-calied statesmen,
Who're proving Arnolds, laddies,
BY helping Johnnie demonetize
The dollar of our daddies-Chorus
Now, Growers had his own sweet way
In filling Johnnie's pocket
BY issuing bonds we must redeem,
But Growers got to stop il;
Well soon have Grover down ard ont,
Mckinley weeping, laddies,
And, with Bill Bryan as President,
The dollar OF our daddies.-Chorus.

Mark Twain.

Mark Twain visited the reform
prisoners before they We're liberated
from Pretoria Jail, and Labeled out
humor by the bucketful to them.
He told them he was delighted to
find only one newspaper man in linn
bo. Being Il journaldist, he knew
the talent of the craft for keeping out
oi Jail, but he said it had been the
dream of his life to get there, but
misfortune dogged his footsteps.
Whenever he had committed any
thing it happened no witnesses were
around, and he never had sufficient
reputation for veracity to get him
self cop gictcd without corroborative
evidence. This sounds like the Mark
Twain of other days. He also pro-
posed to make II contract with the
prisoners to stay i'm and let them all
go, and thus kill two birds with one
stone-act as hostage and write his
book i'm peace-because, as he said,
there was no place ON earth where a
man could get such uninterrupted
quiet as i'm Jail. He felt so strongly
that the insiduous charms of prison
life would increase the longer they
remained i'm that he meant to ask
'Oom Paul. to- extend their sen tence.
