Speeches AT Toledo i'm 1887.
New York Journal)

The highly paid sport of pursuing
Candidate Bryan. i'm which the Hanna
press is INDUCING with SO much appar-
ept enthus!a sm. cannot be altogether
amusing to Candidate Mckinley as he
peeps out from behind the blinds at
Canton to witness the chase. Candi-
date Bryan has way of turning and
throwing the swapping pack into con-
fusion. and causing the sequestered
Major TO withdraw hastily from the
window. Yesterday at Lincoln, Neb.,
Mr.. Bryan was so unkind as TO prove
that the Republican nominee for the
Presidency Is himself no better than
an Anarchist and Socialist. within
the meaning of those hard words as 1t
is accepted and daily announced by
every organ the handle of which Is
controlled by Mr.. Hanna. That is TO
say, Mr.. Bryan quoted as follows from
speech delivered by Major Mckinley
at Toledo, O.. on February II. 1891:
During llof Grover Cleyeand's yea RS
al the head of the government he was
dishunoi!nr one of our precious metals,
enc our own great products, degrading
silver ana raising the price Of gold. He
cndeavored even before his Inauguration
10 office IN stop the coinage OF silver dol
lar:, and afterward, and 10 the end of
ms administration, perSiStently used his
power TO that end. He was determined
10 contract the circulating medium and
to demone;&e one of the coins OF COM
mc!cr. limit the volume of money among
The people. make money scarce and
therefore dear. He would have in
creased the value of money and dimin-
iShed the value of everything else"
That was good Republican doctrine In
1891. 1t was good Republican doctrine
IN to the hour when Mark Hanna hand
ed over the last National Convention
of the party To the gold monometallists
In return for McKinley's nomination.
ANA IL Is good sense yet, though the Re
puhlicans have abandoned silver gone
off In craze after the gold standard
and left To the Democratic party alone

too narrow base of the national cur
rency shall not be further narrowed

INDUSTRY OF BIRDS.

Birds are the most interesting of tho
lower order creatures with which men have
10 zeal, ana they are also the most indus
trlous, though according to tho idcas of
some men their notions of industry arc
sadly perverted.
The English sparrow is an industrious
bird, but its industry is not appreciated to
any favorable extent save by nnturalists
who are not prejudiccd. The English
sparrow raises several broods of chicks oy-
cry year, the female beginning to build n
new nest almost MS soon as the Young nro

birds are occasionally industrious in this
way, and the warblers are likewise uood

(Estates Gazette.l


Few farms have so strange a history
associated with them as the one known
as Glidden, at Hambleton. in Hamp-
shire, which has been purchased by Sir
William Pink, ex-Mayor OF Portsmouth,
for G3.550. 1T was purchased about ten
years ago by the late Mr.. Maber, but in
consequence of the vendors not being
ready to complete on the appointed day
he disowned the purchase. Judgment
was. however, obtained against him for
specific performance. Mr.. Maber went
to the Appeal Court and finally in person
to the House of Lords, the decisions all
being against him.
Even then he still rerused to have
anything TO do with the farm, though
he had paid for It, Under an order OF
the court he was forced to pay $4,000
for the cultivation of the land, but
when the crops were ripe he invited the
villagers to come and help themselves
while he looked on. Eventually the
matter Went into chancery. the land
passed out of cultivation and became
the home Of eypsies, who, aided by the
villagers, pulled down the buildings and
cut the timber.
Considering the heavy tithe-H1sO-
the absence of buildings, the state of
the land and the distance from the stu
ton, the price, though apparently low.
cannot be regarded as otherwise than
satisfactory.

Is Il II Question of Bait?
washington Start

washington anglers who, while under
the influence of bait. have never seen any
thinE more attractive than pink rats with
green eyes and barber-pole tails. ought TO
communicate with the wealthy and staid
resident of Belvidere, New Jersey, who
says that while he was fishing for bass
from n boat i'm the Delaware river last
THURSDAY afternoon he saw huge white
cloud rise from the stream near the Jersey
shore. From the cloud issued strains Of
sweet music When the vapor. which was
cruciform of shape, reached an altitude of
about nifty feet 1t parted in the center and
disclosed white-robed woman, beautiful
beyond compare. a brilliant light sur
rounded her. and her golden hair was
hanging down her back. To all of this the
wealthy and staid resident makes afilda-
VT. People who want to catch bass can
probably do just as well In the Potomac
as they can In the Delaware, but no bait
known to local fishermen can begin just
now being credited with producing the de-
iightiul vision referred to-. The powers of
science, however. seem TO be lmitless, and
II really may be that some ingenious dis
tiller has invented bait which substitutes
