MIR. BRYAx's CAMPAIGN.

The campaign Mr.. Bryan has made
and is making is the most remarkable
In the history of politics in this country,
the people to hear him, but also as &c
the ability of his speeches and endur-
ance OF the orator. No great political
movement in this country has eve, had
n standard-bcarer who so earnestly, Wig.
orously. 50 %splendidly and so ably repre-.
scented the same. The soul of the leader
Is In the cause, and he considers nc
of physical endurance too great
TO make in behalf OF the great issue he
has been called upon to meet.
Commenting upon MIR. R,yan's speech
in Richmond Friday night. the Rich.
mond Dispatch of yesterday incidentally
alludes to his remarkable force as a
speaker In this campaign. and says:
NC matter how many of his ad-
dresses you may read. in the next
one you will find something original
and differing from, though not !ncon-
s.stent with. those which have gone
before. And so his audience. most
OF whom had betn keeping up with

night. The chain about the mar,
aside from his personal magnetism.
which is great. IL his absolute frank
ness and truthfulness. There Is moth
ing OF the policy of the politician
about him. He lodges nothing. and
every sign OF evasion is absent. One
feels perfectly safe with him. His
audience last night was at once with
him from the outset. 1t Is impossi-
BILE for Mr.. Bryan. opponents TO
close their eyes to the fact hat at
this moment hn is Tho Cpnt,nl flUnra
In the eyes of the American people.
Mckinley is dwarfed b. Side the huge
form OF his manager. Mark Hanna.
but this man towers high IN any
group of political managers into
which he is thrown. and gives the
people the hope OF Il President who
will equally tower above all those
greed patriots and evil advisers that

tons 10 lose sigh, of the welfare Of

1t cannot be denied that there Is u
widespread yearning in the land for
Il head of the nation whose hear,

fact that IN this man they think they

for his enormous popularity in the

What the Dispatch say is true, and
no matter how much his opponents may

of the country who see and hear MIR.

OLD GLORY AND UNION JACK.

a special dispatch to the ST. James
Gazette. in London, from Washington,
says that President Cleveland Is deter
mined that the United States cruiser
Bancroft. now on her way To Turkish
waters. shall enter the B%osphorus. The
Government at Washington. the dis
patch says. is fully informed of the plans
of Lord Salisbury, n IL the ships of
the British fleet force the straits of OAR
danelles the American warships will
follow and preserve order, without en-
gaging the Turkish forts.
Referring to the necessity of concert
ed action for the protection of Christian
residents in the domain of The Sultan.
andfeeling that no aid need be expected
from any of the European powers, save
perhaps italy, the St. James Gazette
suggests hat the United States make
common cause with England and Italy,
to form q new triple alliance, as it were,
fog the settlement OF the Turkish uues-
ton.
OF course such an alliance is out of the
question, unless this country makes up
It's mind to abjure the Monroe doctrine.
and 1t Is not probable that anything of
that kind will be resorted TO. however
much we may desire TO see the I'm
speakable Funk" sllenced.
The conditions in Turkey are grow
ing worse and worse, however.
and the Christian men and
women who reside in h coun-
try certainly should have protec-
ton, and II appears that England at last
has awakened to the fact that she has a
duty to perform in their behalf. but re-
ferring to the emarks OF the son of Lord
Salisbury. in London, Wednesday. who
said. England can do nothing in the
matter alone" the Gazette thinks
that with the aid OF the United
States and Italy. the difficulty could be
solved, and incidentally remarks that
1t would be a grand thing to see the
union Jack and the Stars and Stripes
side by side at Co~nstantinople in a COM
mon cause.
Several of the leading provincial pa
pers, of England, including the Leeds
Mercury (LiberaD and the Yorkshire
Post Conservative concur in the view
that the joint action OF the British and
American warships at Constantinople
would be a magnificent and effective
cooperation, but il is not believed that
the Government at Washington takes
the same view of the matter as do
our friends on the other side of the wa
ter. However, the Bancroft is on her
way to Turkish waters. n 1t may be
necessary TO dispatch others 10 the same
point in the early future.

1t Is stated that Mark Hanna has sue
ceeded in raising ten million dollars for
campaign purposes. This is a grea;
sum OF money to spend for the election
OF a President, and yet, the trusts can
well afford the amount first. because
they were aided in the accumulation OF
their fortunes by the Republican party,
and secondly. because 1t is nothing in

According to the Buffalo Times, the
Republican adage that as Maine goes
in September so goes the country in
November, is subject to EXCEPTIONS; for
instance, in September, 1876. Maine
went Republican, and Tilden was elect
ed in November. In 1880 Maine went
Democratic On September and Garfield
was elected n November. In 1884
Maine went Republican in September
n Cleveland was elected in Novem-
per. In 1892 Maine went Republican in
September, and Cleveland was elected in
november. The only times in twenty
years that Maine and the country went
segethe- was in 1888. when Harrison was
esacted.

An illusicnist was talking the other
day of some of the accidents that some
times spoil the art of the conjurer.
ut was in Nashville, Tenn" he said,
that experienced real knock-down
blow. / was performing the we'll
known trick of passing a marked coin
into the center Of an uncut orange. AT
least, that's what o good many people
thought was doing. l used a silver
dollar and emphasized the trick by
passing tine coin into the pocket OF
some boy whom had enticed on to the
stage. l will openly confess that the
boy had 20 be confederate and that
the marked coin had its fellow in one
previously prepared by me. One night
as was entering the theater, looked
nround'for likely youth to aid me in
my double dealing. Ipicked boy and
promised TO pass him in If he would
follow my instructions.
~ am conjurer,' said. I want
yon to put this dollar in your right
hand trousers pocket. I'll get you
seat in the front row. When ask for
somebody to come on the stage you
must come. Then l will ask you to
produce the dollar
THE boy promised everything, and,
after making arrangements for him at
the door, | left him. When was ready
for the dollar trick, saw my young
confederate sitting opcn-mouthed in
the front row. ! had prevailed upon
another member of the audience to
lend me dollar marked exactly as was
that had given to the boy.
Il passed that borrowed dollar into
the orange, cut the fruit open and out
dropped the coin. Then went on:
land now, ladies and gentlemen, Il
will perform still more difficult feat

Now will ask some member of the ans
d;ence to step on the stage, and, with
out going anywhere near him. will
pass the same dollar, marked as you
have seen, into the right-hand trousers
pocket
"Truc TO his bargain, the boy stepped
10 the stage, stepped opposite him and
asked:
"'Now, sir, have you ever seen me be-
fore?'
No, sir was the answer.

Il made the proper magician's pass,
and smiled upon my audience.
Now | said to my assistant, put
your hand into your right-hand trou-
sers pocket, and give me the dollar

he dived his fist down. Then, to my
unutterable horror, he produced a
