A Grateful Addition to Water During tho

putting up grape juice, and as think
my method involves less waste of time

ing il to you. We use il freely during
hot weather as grateful addition to

it superior to any of the various prep

the juice again. Swimming well. ana add
from one-third to one-half pound Of

THE CHIEFS DOG.C
Magician McAIlister's Trick Cost the Poor
Brute His Iife.

Nothing so completely mystifies an
Indian as to witness the operations of
some itinerant sleight-of- hand per-
former. many of whom find their way
into the sparsely settled portions of The
northwest, where they are always sure
to reap a good harvest. Prof. McAllis-
Ter, the magician, once visited Il camp
of River Crows on the Yellowstone. and,
after extracting various packs of cards
and other articles from the ears, necks
and noses and garments of the aston
ished Indians, was invited to a big feast
of roast dog and other delcacies. Chief
Two Belly was so impressed with The
great medicine powers of the professor
that he took him to his daughter, Miss
Wicista-Neeta (mcaning Wild Gait and
offered her for wife at the low price OF
two ponies. The feast and daughter
were both declined, but as McAllister
was leaving the tepee he spied lean,
yellow cur. He asked Chief Two Belly
how much he would take for the dog, at
the same time stroking the brute down
the back to his tail length and each time
taking handful of money from the end
of the tail.
Him very valuable dog" said Meal
lister, picking a coin out OF the dogs eye
and another out of his nose. Two
ponies for him, chief?"
The Indians, with ewes as big as sau-
GERS, stood in awe and establishment,
and shook their heads. After McAllister
had gone they carried the poor dog
down to the river side and cut him open,
but the goose had no golden egg, and
they went slowly back to camp as COM
pletely dumfounded and as solemn as
human beings can possibly be.-Buffalo

AN EASTERN FORECAST.
Democratic Review of the Political
situation.


New York World. Oct. 2l.
First-Mr. McKinley's election Is certain
AS the World showed over two months ago
in its nutshell" illustration and map, he
is reasonably sure of the seventeen eastern
and middle states-New England, New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Iowa. They cast 229 cleo
toral votes-five more than a majority.
Second-Mr. Bryan Is reasonably sure Of
seventeen states. He will get every state
that fully or partially entered the con-
federacy-South Carolina, Virginia, North
Carolina. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Ten
nessee. Mississippi. Louisiana. Arkansas
Missouri and Texas. He will get every
silver mining camp state-Nevada, Colo
RADIO, Utah Idaho and Montana. These
seventeen states cast 145 electoral votes.
Thrd-Of the remaining eleven states
four-Kentucky Minnesota, West Virginia
and North Dakota-are also certain for Mr..
Mckinley. They cast thirty-one electoral
votes. They were not included with the
seventeen Mckinley states because their
votes are not needed and the simplicity OF
the comparison is greater without them.
They will increase Mr.. McKinley's vote
from 229 to 260. This leaves seven states
to be accounted for-Californla, Oregon,
Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota,
Kansas and Nebraska. The probabilities are
that Mr.. Bryan will get the most of their
forty-two electoral votes.
Fourth-The next senate will have
small but secure majority for sound money.
The next house OF representatives will
have working republican majority. The
Mckinley administration will therefore
have the power to make law.

opportunity 20 do So" This Is corrobo-
rated by the Investigations of other cor
respondents. The 81. Paul Globe sent
out reporters to number of Minnesota
towns especially to investigate the
charge of coercion and they all reported
that they found nothing of the kind. on
the contrary they found that employers
were particularly careful not to talk poll
ties with employees.
The chairman of the republican ma
tional committee has taken position
regarding this matter which all repub-
leans approve. In the circular recently
issued by him he says the national com
mittcc Is ready to cooperate with the
popocratic committee in investigating
the charge of coercion of employees and
bringing to punishment any employer
who may be shown to have used coer-
cion. 1t is an offense punishable by law
and the chairman of the republican COM
mittee correctly says that any one hav-
ing knowledge of such offense and does
not proceed against the offender Is
equally criminal with him. If Chair
man Jones knows of any ease of coer-
cion he should have the guilty employer
arrested and he will find the repub-
lican committee ready to bear its share
of the cost of prosecution. But Chair
man Jones has not been heard from and
is not likely to be, because his charge
is baseless. Thus one more popocratic
falsehood is disposed of.

EX-SPE1KER CRISP.

The death of Hon. Charles f. Crisp
of Georgia. ex-speaker of the house of
representatives, is the. loss of citizen
and n political leader who had won dis
| tinction for marked ability. This loss
will be especially felt by the democracy
| of the south. where Mr.. Crisp was held
in very high regard rs an exponent of
democratic principles Born in England
he was reared in this country, coming
here in infancy, and had always lived In
Georgia. He was seven times elected
to congress from the Third district of
that state and was speaker of the house
i'm the Fifty-second and Fifty-third
congresses. In this position Mr.. Crisp
made a highly creditable record,
receiving the cordial commendation
of his political opponents. He was
radical tariff reformer and also
supporter of free silver, though
not an extremist in the advocacy of that
policy. On the floor of the house he was
one of the ablest and most skillful
among the democratic debaters. While
speaker of the house Mr.. Crisp enjoyed
intimate relations with President Cleve-
land and was understood to be in full
accord with the views and wishes of the
president regarding the tariff. He was
an aspirant to seat in the United
States senate to succeed Senator Cor
don, whose term will expire next March,
and 1t was while engaged in the cam
paign for the senatorship that he con-
tracted the illness which terminated in
his death. He was worthy citizen and
political leader who will be greatly
missed from the councils Of his party.

Since Bryan was nominated sixty-one
American cities and counties, according to
a list in the Bond Buyer" have endeavored
to sell their bonds to the amount of SILL
4S0, 256 and have failed.
Every dollar of this sum would have been
spent on public improvements. All but a
minute fraction would have been paid out
directly to labor. Not one penny of it Is
available because men with capital will not
risk 1t under current conditions. No pru-
dent man is willing to loan dollars on a
gold basis when Bryan and his hackers are
urging that such d loan be paid back on a
silver basis, In dollars worth half as much.
What is true OF these bonds offered by
cities and counties is true OF millions OF
dollars more In other enterprises-in bonds
for railroads, In building operations in i'm
provements and in mines and manufactures
Work in all these lines Is halted because
money cannot be borrowed and bonds cannot
be sold and labor waits, without work or
wages. until 1t Is clear that the existing gold

FRANK ADMISSIONS.
Si1verites ForcshndOw Panic n
They Succeed.
washinpton


Mr.. Joseph d. Sargent. democratic can
didate for governor Of Connecticut, and
OF course, running on free coinage plat
form, says that 1t has occurred to him that
free coinage OF silver thrust suddenly upon
us, might upset the equilibrium OF the
country during the time elapsng while II
was being brought into perfect operation" ."
This is a candid admission OF what all
the opponents and many OF the advocates
OF free coinage believe would be the ineyi-
table result OF the adoption of that policy.
To upset the equilibrium" means a panic
and the general belief Of financiers and
business men is that free coinage would
produce more calamitous disturbance in
trade. manufactures and all other branches
OF business than this country has ever
known.
Mr.. Moreton Frewen of London, who is
very desirous of having the United States
try the free coinage experiment, is frank
enough to say that there would" in his
opinion, undoubtedly be big money panic
In this country" but he braces up our
nerves with the gratifying assurance that
the country is strong enough to stand it,"
Mr.. Bryan has been quoted in the same
general direction, though less distinctly. He
has said that the country could be restored
to prosperity, only by extreme measures" !"
Similar expressions have cropped out in
many OF the speeches and writings of free
coinage advocates
"O w iOl hlOW IL majority OF the
voters of the United States are opposed
to "upsetting the equilibrium of the coun-
try" We cannot say that "a big money
panic has any terrors for them. 1t may
be that they really believe the country is
in need of such extreme measures" as
will turn things topsy-turvy. II we look
back four years we find the period of max
imum prosperity in the United States, and
we find, too. that the people rose up and
voted out the party under which that pros
perity had been attained. With that exam
pie in mind 1t would be idle to predict
what the majority will do or decline to
do this year.
But we commend the frankness with
which the free coinage crusaders admit
the natural, unavoidable results of the
change which they propose They know
that the country cannot slide from gold
to silver basis as a ship slips along the
ways from the builders yard into the water
They know that, instead of an easy, grace
full slide, 1t will be crash.
