humorous side even to enumeration.
Up to date the war in Cuba has cost
him $50, 600, 900, and the estimates for
the second year are $50, 100000 Dur

in conflict and 3472 by yellow fever,
and to-day Cuban instruction is in
better shape than it was year ago.

There are more rumors that Great
Britain, to please France, will evacu-
ate Egypt. When Great Britain gets
ready to evacuate India it will evaeu-

the various speakers.
After a stirring speech by General
Clement A. Evans, the following reso-
lutions were offered and adopted as.

The year 1896 is likely to be notable
as the beginning Of a new era of re-

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON,

THE New York Worlds Statestlcian
has been dissectlng the figures of the
late election in the light OF census re-
turns, and he finds that in round num-
latlon of 40, 5000 voted Tor McKin
ley, and twenty states with a popula !
ton of 25,OOO,OOo voted for BRYAN, in
other words, almost two-thirds of the
population are in states that repudiated
free silver. The total ind ustrial wealth
OF twenty-five Mckinley states is $47,-
1884. TT ,976, while the twenty Bryan
states have but $16,6s0, 1884, 9S4. or
about one third as much; an average OF
1884, O19. 249, to the Mckinley states
average of 81 1895 ,3ss.7l9. more .hah
twice as much
But when educational statistics are
taken. then is the contrast best shown,
perhaps. Just % per cent OF the silver
states population is illiterate unable
to read or write,) while but rs per cent
OF sound money states population is
thus deficient, Briefly, there are three
times as many illiterates in the silver
states as in sound money states. Fig
ured out, though the Mckinley states
are twice as populous, thev contain but
3,4O6.975 llliterates to 5.4S5, 215, in
the Bryan states.
