GEMS OF THEIR CHOICE.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs Mckinley
Partial to Diamonds.


Washington, July 29.-During the gay
winter time in Washington there is be-
yond doubt q greater display of pre-
cious stones and jewels of rare value
than any other city of the country, I'M
less it be the gems worn by the wives
and daughters of the multi millionaires
of New York
Mrs. Cleveland is decidedly partial
to diamonds, and the gifts she has re-
ceived from Mr.. Cleveland have con-
tanned the sparkling stones set in var
ious styles. Mrs. C1evelands engege-
ment ring was of the three stones, ru-
bies, diamonds, and sapphires, patri-
otically representing the colors of the
flag, red, white and blue, and grace
fully grouped.
Mrs Mckinley asserts her utter dis
belief in the superstition attached to
the wearing of opals. Mr. Mckinley
gave his wife some handsome dia-
monds and opals on Christmas. 1894,
and she says that nothing but good
fortune has befallen her lot ever since.
Mrs. Mckinley has more than a dozen
diamond pins and bracelet that is
truly a circlet of beautiful precious
stones. Mrs. McKinley's watch is thick
ly studded with gems, and when she
appears in public her fingers are ablaze
with handsome, sparkling jewels.
Mrs. Bryan seems to care little for
jewelry. the feminine ornaments of
which the majority of women are so
fond, and during the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan in this city Mrs. Bryan
was as modest in the display of jewels
as she was in all other matters of dress
and adjournment

BATH IS POLITICS MAD.
Women in the Maine Town Becoming
Active Partisans.

Bath. Me, July 29.-Interest in the
campaign is at fire heat in this city. To
be the cynosure of a nations eyes is a
new experience for this snug little
town, and so far it rather likes it. E,v-
erybody is talking politics. The women
are espousing the cause of either the
yellow or the white metal with true
feminine zeal and enthusiasm.
Mrs Arthur Sewan has a true wifely
interest in the fortunes of her husband.
For the time politics has taken prece-
dence of photography as a diversion.

WHAT MARY IS SAYING.

A special correspondent of the Boston
Herald writes of Mrs. Leases Cooper
Union speech in New York. He says:
with the perspiration running in
streams down her cheeks, held 1000
persons in Cooper Union two hours
and talked silver. The meeting had
been called by the WOrklngmen's
Bryan and Silver Central league
Every point she made was applauded.
When she wished to give particular
farce to a sentence she Strengthened
her back until she leaned backward
and then with sudden imitation of her
chest. her voice would ring through the
hall like a clarion. She had none OF
the coquetries of a woman. Mrs. Lease
on the platform is masculine, and she
exhibits a strength in her endurance
which is not the possession of many
of her sex.
1.-The matter of her speech was not
as notable as the manner Of it. Among
other things She said were these, which
aroused the most notable instance of
enthusiasm:
Increased production without in
creased consumption Is valueless. We
are confronted by the menace Of un-
employed labor-a condition which
makes it possible for one or two men to
become landlords of these proud cities,
while Gods poor are packed, scared
and starving, in the Sums"
Here is a condition which enables
a mouse-trap peddler to pay S2,OO0,0O0
for an impoverished French count, and
then spend $4,000 for a breakfast
after the sale, while 10000 American
citizens go to work without any break
fast at all
Here the crowd cried: Go it.
Mary! Sock it to 'em, Nary"

DOWNFALL OF SENATOR DUBOIS.

The Democratic fusion In Idaho with
the Peoples Party under the name of
tie Peoples Democratic party, leaving

Bryan should be Democrats, or Pops"

CALIFORNIA GOLD.

Colorado and California were nearly
equal to each other last year in the
production of gold, but it would seem,
if the California Bureau of Mines is
right in its report concerning activity
in mining in that state, that California
will go far ahead this year unless Col
Orado does much better in the next
four months than it has recently been
doing. 1t is claimed that the force
of working miners in California is
nearly double what it as IN 1895, and
that the number Of mines in which
work is being done has increased by
about two-thirds Of the number work
ed in 1895. If these figures are true,
they show that there has been much
greater increase in mining in Califor-
MIA than there has been in Colorado.
There is ne doubt that Colorado has
been disappointing to many persons
who last winter looked forward to a
year of great activity in 1896. Just
why this has been so is difficult to ex-
plain, but it seems that in a number
of instances owners of good properties
have for some reason neglected to work
them as vigorously as it was expected
they would be worked. There Is much
more being said of the Colorado mines
than Of those Of California, yet unques-
tionalbly California will lead in its out
put for the present year.

WHAT THEY WILL DO.

How free trade and free silver are
ever to be made to go tremendously to-
gether we never could see 1t is the
Republican idea of protection which
must take care of silver in the end,
I and without reference to International
| agreement. The trouble with this
| country is the present free trade policy.
Everybody knows that a protective
policy is absolutely essential TO a diff
ferent condition. Even the goldbug
Democrats appreciate the urgent nee
essity for a right-about-face of the
Cleveland policy. And there is grow
ing disposition among the leaders who
have called the indianapolis conyen-
ton to make no nominations. Every
vote cast for Mckinley is a vote
against Clevelandism, against Bryan
ism and for protection Besides II
Mckinley doesn't mean gold STAN
dard it means the present use of silver.
We note that General Palmer of Hi
nois, a prominent leader of the sound
money Democrats, takes this view of
the situation, and says that he would
rather take Mckinley and protection
than Bryan and free silver and free
trade, as much as lie abhors Republi
can ideas. While Palmer does not like
the idea of abandoning free trade, or
Cleveland's tariff reform, he recog-
niZes the necessity for doing so, and
free silver presents the most plausible
excuse to a Democrat for swallowing
the medicine which will work him only
good Bourke Cochran is another who
declares that no chances should be
taken with a third candidate, and that
those who would avoid still greater dis
aster should vote for Mckinley with
out regard to party. The indianapolis
convention will, Of course, adopt plat
form Which will be ringing protest
against the Chicago platform. Further
than that they hardly dare go.
