At . Bryan and Sewsll ratification meeting hsld in Florence . few days sincs. Eiitor Rappy of the Tribune addressed the meeting in the fo.low- ing we'll chosen wUrds, when shoS that the heart oi the doughty editor is in the right place. He said:
 "Ip appearing before you tonight my only regsst is that I have not the ability oi expressing, as would like, the warm feelings hold on the great question now agitating the people O; she United StAtss-thst question, l take is, is whether or not the Amsri- can people shall re.ums .business a, the old stand, and try to conduct their own affsirs, or whether the Cleveland policy of making the location of the main house on Lombard street, Lon don, shal be continued. Fer con- tend that with Mckinley in the prssi- dent tial chair the disastrous policy which has come co near wrecking our country will not bs changed one ioto. (Applsuse }.
 What folly to cay that ths tariff m au issue between she parties in the present campaign. when there is but . difference of per cent-yes. lees than thst-in the totals of the McKin- ley and Wiison bills. The people can no longer bs fooled with . Quaker gun like that. IL is the great ques- ton of finance that is now to bs fought out on ths field of politics.

 "Now that the new rejuvioated Democratic party has had the inde- psndence and manhood to condemn Cleveland in the Chicago convention, sud to name two such glorious stan- dard brarers as Bsysn and Sewsll no true friend ol silver and American manhood should hesitate a moment 10 give ,hem his warm aad loyal sup port.

The Title Settled.

One of WashingtOn's lawyers used to
practice III Kentucky, and tells good
stories Of his experiences in the noun
tains Of that state.
az went to recover a tract Of land in
Bell county," he said, land was met at
the door of the cabin on the place by
the man against whom l was instructed
by my client, Il widow, who held the
claim through her deceased husband, to
proceed. [ accosted him, and explained
the nature OF my visit, being anxious to
settle the matter peaceably if possible.
Stranger, he said slowly as he
looked into the open fireplace medita-
lively. This hyar pears to be kin o.
bad business. I'm peaceable man an
don't want no trouble with nobody.
Dad fust cum hyar when / war a boy,
an thar seemed to be a heap of trouble
bout the title. Fust an last, reckon
thar war ten killed. Then we didn t
hyar no more bout the title till dad war
dead, when q fellar cum long an thar
war mo- trouble. He's buried jess be-
yant that thar poplar.
Then two y'ar ago another cum at
me, an his wilder, it seems, don't want
ter drap it, an hired yo' as a lawyer.
I'm peaceable man, stranger, an don
want no trouble, but it seems to me
this hyar title orter be settled by this
time, cause 1 hain't got no time goin
ter cou't bout it. Thar amt but one
way ter settle it, I dom like ter hev no
fout with woman, but [ reckon I'll
hev to, lessen yo' air willin ter settle it
with me right hyar.
81 excused myself from that mode of
settling it, and upon reporting to my
client, she refused to allow a suit to be
brought, SO the mans title can be re-
garded as settled Washington Star.

The Sutherland Evictions.

There has just died at Kirtomey, on
the northeast coast of Sutherland, Mrs.
Betsy Mackay, at the age of 102. She
was native of Strathnaver, and was a
grown up woman when that fertile and
once pOpulous strath-about IS miles
long-was ruthlessly cleared of its in
habitants in the second decade of this
century. She had vivid recollection
and many stories to tell of the harrow
ing scenes witnessed when old and
young. weak and strong, were turned
out OF their homes. The people got half
an hours notice to pack up their be-
longings before the torch was applied
to the thatch of their dwellings. The
burning lasted six days, and from one
eminence over $50 blazing cottages could
be counted! A very different state OF
things, 1T is pleasing to record, prevails
on the Sutherland property nowadays.

effecting a permanent union with men
of other parties. Therefore, it is un-
reasonable, as it is unnecessary and
unimportant, that Mr. Brvan should
have anything to do with the affairs of
the Populist party. We are competent
to manage our own business. What we
want and all we want now is to effect
such a combination with men of other
parties as will secure the best effect of
the united vote of men opposed to the
Republican gold standard policy.
Let US unite our votes and wait for
a calmer time to discuss points of diff
ference in party creeds. Patriotism
knows no party. The country now de-
mands our united support. Let US give
it freely and question not the politics
of our temporary leader.
Mr.. Bryan ought not to be weighted
in this mighty conflict with Populist
affairs as such. Not a word ought to
be spoken or written that will divert a
single voter from the path of duty. The
Democrats have enough to do to take
care of their own party matters. They
have already done wonders. Let US en-
courage and aid them, and not en-
barrass them by intruding our party
plans upon their attention at a time
like the present, when free institutions
are at stake and popular liberty in

Only Use Him as Club to Defeat Re
Dublicans.

United States Senator Vim. PETER
says in his paper, the Topeka Advocate
that there is no good reason why VIM.
J. Bryan should be asked or expected to
accept or decline the Populist nominal
ton.
Mr.. Bryan is the regular nominee of
the Democratic party says the sena-
tor, 'and viii be expected to indorse his
party platform. That platform is not
q Populist declaration, and does not
satisfy the demands of the POpulist
party Let the reader compare the
platform adopted last week at St. Louis
with the Democratic platform agreed
upon at the Chicago convention, and he
viii at once note that the Populists
take much higher and broader ground
than the Democrats. The two parties
are essentially different
Senator PETER says that the nomina-
ton of Bryan at St. Louis was made,
not as a party measure, but solely be
cause of the universal desire of the
Populists, as of the Democrats and
silver Republicans, to combine their
voting strength to defeat a common
enemy.

language, "have no thought of now

seems that there may be some actual

1t is added that her majesty has decid-
ed to spend her time in future at Bal
moral, or at Osborne, and that she will
give the Prince and Princess of Wales
the use of buckingham Palace and
Windsor Castle.
There is no doubt that the queen
seems to feel greatly the weight of her
years and bereaVements, and her maj
esty is quoted as having repeatedly re-
marked during her stay in this city at
buckingham Palace upon the occasion
of the recent marriage of Princess
Maud of Wales to Charles of Denmark:
This is my last visit to London
Color is given to the rumors in circu-
lation by the deep emotion displayed
by the queen as she bowed in reply to
the enthusiastic cheers of the multi
tudes which lined the route from Buck
ingham Palace to the railroad station
where she took the train for Windsor
after the marriage ceremonies.

Philadelphia, July 31-The crossing
where last nights accident occurred
has long been a bugaboo to travellers
between this city and Atlantic City. 1t
IS located about two and a half miles
from the Atlantic City terminal of the
two rival railroads and a block tower
occupied by an operator is placed as
close to the crossing as safety will per
nit This tower is occupied by an Op-
orator who is charged with the duty of
seeing that the train having the right
of way crosses first and that the other
train is tagged.
There is a difference of opinion as to
which of the illfated trains had the right
of way last night, but Telegraph Opera
tor VIM. ThurstOn and Switch Tender
HauSer are in the Atlantic City Jail now
and will remain there until an official
investigation definitely places the re
sponsibility- The competition between
the West Jersey and Reading railroads
for Atlantic City business is very keen
and both roads run flyers" which aver
age nearly a mile a minute between
Camden and Atlantic City.
There are frequent races across the
stretch of open country a, few miles out
side of Atlantic City, known as the
Meadows and passengers on the rival
trains who are not timid regard the race
on the home stretch as one of the exhil-
irations of the trip to the seashore.
The timid ones, however, are always
apprehensive that something will hap
pen as dangerous grade crossings are
approached. Last night the long look
ed for accident occurred with fatal re-
suits.
A railroad man who came to this city
from Atlantic City today is reported 10
have said that the Reading train which
ran into the Bridgeton excursion train
was racing across the meadows with
train on the Camden and Atlantic rail-
road Which left Philadelphia at about
the same time. Railroad officials, how
ever, deny that there was a race.
J. Oil, of this city, a bartender, was
a passenger on the Inflated train on the
West Jersey road. He had secured a
seat in one of the cars before leaving
Atlantic City, but seeing a lady with
child he surrendered the seat to her
and went to the rear car. This act Of
courtesy saved his life as that portion
of the train which he first occupied was
completely wrecked.
The horrible experience of Miss Lydia
PancOaSt of Bridgeton almost resulted
in her prOstration. She was il the fifth
car and after the collision she scram-
bled for the door at the front. A man
staggered against her from the rear
door with a stream of blood gushing
from his mouth and his head laid open
by q deep cut Miss Pancoast's dress
stepped back, the man in front of her
fell dead

New York, July 31.-Chairman Marc
Hanna returned from his visit to White
law Reid at White Plains early today,
but he had nothing to repeat of what
was said there by himself, or by either
of the guests, J. PierpOnt Morgan and
D. Ogden Mills.
1T was only a social call. He had a
pleasant time, a good nights rest and
plenty to eat. That's ALL he said. Mr.
Hanna's attention was called to the re-
port from Chicago that because of al
legged Republican factiOnal difficulties
there, he had determined upon a move
of the national headquarters thence to
Cleveland. That" said he, is untrue.

a Tale of the Darkness.

It was midnight
Or most any hour or minute last
night.
Stealthily he .crept out of the back
door and aroui 4 the corner of the
house All in white he was so far as
he was in anything which he wasn't
much.
His face was bathed in a fendish
grin that would have been washed of
if it hadn't been screwed on.
To each of his feet was tied a cake
of ice that sizzled and sputtered at
each step he took the smoking
boards.
In his hand he carried a large life
sized club that he had cooled previous
ly in the ice chest.
Stealthily he crept.
There it was now on the side of the
house by the porch post.
All, ha.
One fell blow and it would all be over.
He swung his club.
Crash.
The thermometer lay broken and
crushed at his feet
The mercury had taken a decided
fall
But it was no cooler.
Such another night as was last night
Topeka has seldom seen.
Beds were as hot boards to bare skin.
The man or woman that remained IN
one position more than a moment or
two during last night must have been
tied.
People threw modesty to the calm,
after vainly looking for a wind to
throw it to, and took out their win
dows, blinds, curtains, screens, and all,
and wished for a power with which to
knock out the side of the house.
It was awful.
TTor1~- -, 75era7er4 ,,srt- Of town sat
up with nothing on and famed them
selves the greater part of the night.
There didn't seem to be. a breath
stirring The babies suffered most.
Men who are ordinarily too stingy to
buy a toothpick swore that if they
got through the night alive they would
7ut in an electric fan the next day.

JOINTISTS FINED.
Have Been Running in a Building on
East SeVenth Street


Fritz Durein and Pete Callahan, two
of the most persistent ViOlatOrS of the
prohibitOry law in Topeka were fined
$2G0 each in police court this noon. Over
40 witnesses were SubpOenaed in the
case. Attorneys S. B. Isenhart and Otis
Hungate represented the defendants.
They demanded that the city attorney
elect on which count he was to rely for
a conviction.
Mr. Bird did so, and Judge Furry said
that he considered each of the men
guilty of violation of the prohibitory
law.
He fined them each 5000 and they
were committed to the city jail in de
fault of bond. The county has a SINH
lar charge against these two jointists,
and as soon as the city fine is settled
the county cases will be tried. It was
the sheriff who raided the joint at ia
East Seventh street, and the city war
rant was served on them while they
were in the county jail. Both will ap-
peal the city cases to the district court
The building on East Seventh street,
which is the home of the jointists, dis
orderly characters and some of the
most disreputable people in the city
belongs to the Shelton estate, the own
er having died sometime ago at Burlin-
game. The Topeka agent is George D.
Hale, ex-city assessor and one of the
radical prOhibitiOnists in Topeka. The
place has been occupied for many
months by joints and other resorts. -
