thought the theatrical line would about
suit him.
Now our pupil knows this is even
worse fb than those about Ernest Seyd.
/ 1t is an old lie exposed and nailed long
ago by Mr.. Bryan himself The orig
/ inal lie went so far as to STATE that Mr..
Bryan was once an actor and the leading
support Of Ada Gray Mr.. Bryan
fb big hearted and good humored
and these dirty little tricks of his oppo
nents who cannot answer him or do
anything but abuse him, he does not
get riled about. If Mr.. Bryan got mad
at all the abuse and falsehood the Han
nacrats are deluging him with his tenn
per would be in a continual state Of in
fammation. Mr.. Bryan shows his true
greatness by quietly and good-naturedly
ignoring the pitiful pe,utogging OF IN
goldbugs. When shown me statement
that he was once on the stage as an actor
and had made application for a position
as advance agent of theatrical COM
pany. which lies first app AIRED about a
month ago in New York paper, he
laughed heartily land Mr.. Bryan's
laughter is as contagious as his politics.
and in reply he simply said that ne had
never been on the stage as an actor and
lad never applied for position as ad-
vance agent for any theatrical company.
is a wonder that Mr.. Bryan's exper-
fence in this campaign mas not made
him a synic. a disbeliever in the truth
and honesty of mankind, so unlimited
are the falsehoods and dishonorable
tricks that he meets with every day in
his brilliant tour of the country. The
fact is. however, that Mr.. Bryan re-
mains one of the firmest believers in the
faith and honor of the people TO whom
he appeals directly. and amid a continual
shower of abuse and annoyance he mas
not once lost his temper. Mr.. Bryan
is a born leader OF men and in his knowl-
edge of men and in his forebearance and
thorough good nature he shows how
truly great a man he is.
From the top of his magnificent head
down to the soles Of his feet William
Jennings Bryan is truth and honor, lib
crafty and keen intelligence.

OUR KINDERGARTEN DEPART
MENT.
4 LESSON IN HONESTY.
Yesterday our Fourteenth 81. pupi!
made the following statement:

Yesterday our Fourteenth -. pupH
made the following statement:
At the beginning of the campaign a good
deal was said about Ernest Seyd, an In
glishman. having confessed that ne came
over TO this country with hrluSI cor
Cuptiou fund of 100000 with winch ne Sc
cured the passage of the act OF lNt3 drop
ming from our coinage the standard silver
dollar.
The story was used by some persons who
believed il to be true. When II was SHOWN
that IL was not true. that Mr.. SeNd was
not i'm the country while the act was under
consideration and that he advised strong
ly against dropping the standard siiNrI
dollar. honest persons on ne Tree sl'N'
side refused to make any further use oil
the clumsy story.
The Register however returns 10 its
mutton and gives full credit to the SHY
and WORKOUT fabrication.
As this is a lesson in common honesty,
we quote our Fourteenth ST. pupil in
full in order 10 make the lesson as con-
vincing as possible. Our msndacious
pupil here makes the fatfooted assertion
that Earnest Seyd confessed nothing in
regard 10 his share of the crime Of -.
And it makes the further assertion that
Earnest Seyd was not in this country
when that crime was being accom-
p,ished.
We lear our pupil will never amount
to much if his inventive genius is no
stronger in other things than i, is in
fbbing. H ought 10 have known how
easily disproven these falsehoods are.

TN. Anx,NcE IN WHEAT.


We have been hearing a good deal.
lately from the goldbug press and gold
tra orators about the sudden and phe-
-,menal rise in the price of wheat, and
50 much of the public as obtains its mis-
information from the Mckinley press
have been assured that the bulge has
been a sort of ante-election dispensation
of an ar-wise Providence, pointing the
.v7v To- much better things for the agri-
currraf element Of the population in the
event of .ae election of the Ohio cham
o;on of silver in 1891 and Of gold in
1895. The cause of the rise was given
- The shortage Of the crop in India and
vhe Danube countries and Russia. and
4. has been proclaimed in the goIdbus
,press. under scare headlines. that the
rise was not only legitimate, but that
r5o,Iar wheat" was in sight. and that the
farmers would have a good thing OF it.

rot. As Mr.. Mclean, thorough bus
mess man. pu,s It. The election Of Bry-
an would cause an immediate improve
msrt in business. Every class Of prop
erty bu. bonds and mortgages will rise,
and they will retain their present price.
With silver put where it was before 1873,
real estate will ris=, men will take on
new enterprises. such as building Of
houses. of roads. necessary improve
mems. and a reign Of real prosperity
VIII bsgin. The threat of holders Of
large sums Of money that they will not
lend il. .buc will keep it in bank or place
of deposit if Bryan is elected, are idle
threats. The idsa that men Of money
sill allow their capital 20 lie idle in
the bank vaults. or that banks will not
lend their money because they are dis
appointed in not elecing the man they
want. is ridiculous. VIVA, bank does not
welcome good borrower man
whose u-me is good, and who has al
WAYS me. his loans? Banks are not
ra.lanthropic institutions; they are rum
fer the purpose of making money, not for
accommodating the public or indiyidu-
ais. To live they must lend their mon
cv. Office rent, book-keepers' and
clerks salaries would soon eat them up
if loans were no. made.
IL know that wijh the election OF
Bryan better times will come. I am
as positive Of that as any one can be OF
a fact. The election of Bryan will carry
no evils with il. bu- viii redress many

views on the currency question and de-
nounced the demone;ization of silver up

HER VISION CAME TRUE. Her Father Met Death at the Time and in
 the Way She Saw It.

A few days ago Alex Gindelsfnger a farmer living near Portsmouth, O., was called from his home at night by un- known men and murdered. The night the crime was committed his daughter, Mary, 13 years old, stayed at the home of William Cook, in Portsmouth. The next morning at breakfast she told of her strange dream.
 She said that it seemed that some one called her father and that he went out side, where he was murdered After this she thought that she heard rappings in her room and on the heard of the bed in which she was sleeping. She was so ter rif1ed that she covered her head with the bed clothing and went to sleep. She was awakened soon and imagined that a hand touched her and pointed toward where her father was lying dead
 Within an hour after she had finished telling about the dream she received a telegram saying that her father was dead She afterwards learned that he had been killed as she had seen in the vision and at about the same time.

ANOTHER YANKEE TRICK.
An Electric Self Loading Car-Its Novel
 Mode of Operation.

Mode of Operation.
 sWe want clean streets' and i've want good roads" are the war cries of cyclists, but they find so many glad to take up the refrain that the little purple and sil- yer badges have become like a nightmare to the mayor and councilmen. They fiut- ter tauntingly in the eyes of the city off, cials all day until, when at night they close their eyes. they see in nightmares myriads of purple imps mounted on sil- yer wheels whirling over streets as smooth and shining as the streets of the new Jerusalem.
 Men have been put to work in a few localities and where they go there is a perceptible cleanliness, but not quite up to date.
 To alter existing condidtions and to provide means whereby streets may be speedily, thoroughly and cheaply cleaned, says Electricity, are the objects sought to be attained by A. Jackson Rey- holds, Massachusetts yankee by birth, but now a resident of Montreal, Can. To accomplish the purpose set forth MT. Reynolds has invented an electric self loading car. This car is % feet long, s wide and 9h feet high, very compactly and strongly built. It is fitted with all the apparatus common to a regular troll ley car. Contrary to regular practice, the brakes, motors. etc., are placed above the wheels and axles so<as not to impede the action of the brushes. In operation
