unless spectacular" He has never done
or said anything WISE" HE spent five
years over that Chicago peroration."
Then Mr.. Carley Indignantly asks,
What does he come to New York for,
anyhow" and concludes that worthy
citizens will never choose a travelling
Snowman for president, who goes to his
memory for his speeches and to all
diabolical party platforms for his prin-
ciples."
If this is the sort of stuff that Mr.
Carley and buzzards of his ilk intend to
flood the country with in this cam
paign of education" the sooner Mr.. Han
ma stays their hands the better for his
candidate To call Mr.. Bryan a clown or
a mountebank is not only a piece of un-
paralleled personal impudence on Mr
Carley's part. but it is an insult to the
intelligence of the millions who have
the sincerest and most enthusiastic ad-
miration for an able, brave. eloquent
and honest presidential candidate. 1t
would seem that these gentry of the
Monetary Trust had sufficient foresight
to anticipate the triumphal progress
that would. be Mr.. Bryan's lot on his
journey to New York. and had thought
they could villify it by the cheapest
sort of mud singing.
What does he come to New York for,
anyhow" Well, 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Carley will have the opportunity
of being present in Madison Square on
Wednesday night, and IL he has ears to
hear and eyes to see, he may learn some
thing of the reason.

Ii Hung Chang is said to be absolute
ly impervious to impressions. Possibly
that may be an erroneous deduction due
to the impassive bearing and stoical in
difference of the Oriental. That both
gratitude and gracefulness are traits in
the great Chinaman's character was
proved by the tribute he paid the other
day to the memory of the Christian
hero, "Chinese" Gordon. 1t must have
been touching sight to witness the tall,
guant Chinaman making obeisance be-
fore the statue of the dead general and
decorating it with flowers emblematic
of his esteem.

Where toll ana duty hold in firm embrace

There Is no one who by the science OF

perhaps, but they don't cure. Medicine
is not an exact science
Those who talk like this are the most

represents does cure. Itis an exact science.
There are no half truths in Il. There is
only one answer to such dangerous criti-
cism and tn at answers ,INVESTlGA TIoN.

the answer to this dangerous, though super

being three hours. The holder OF this
contract must file bond of $500, signed
by two suretes, and the compen sation
is $156 a year. The ronte from Garnet to
Johnsburg, N. Y, is seven and one,half
miles long, and the trip is made three
times a week, the schedule time between
the stations being two hours. In this
case the carrier files guarantee bond OF
$500, and receives yearly the munificent

At the present time nearly all the routes
similar to these two are covered by stage
drivers, who are able to supplement the
scanty pay received for carrying the mail
by fees from chance passengers.

SMITHS DEATH WARRANT.
He Hears 1t Read without Exhibit

Baltimore, Nov. James Smith, the
colored murderer Of Miss Margaret Drown,
of Prince Georges county, was yesterday
told officially that he must die on Decem-

Smith, since his conviction, has been
kept in the Baltimore city jail, for fear
that he would be roughly dealt with If
taken to Marlboro The reading of the
death warrant was by Sheriff Thomas
M Underwood, of Prince Georges, who
arrived in the city on the morning train.
There were present besides Sheriff Un-
derwood, Warden Bailey, Rev. Louis link
han, J. f. Underwood and Charles T. Bl and
ford. The last two Will constitute the
death watch.
Smith was taken from his cell to the
warden's office, where the grim formality
was performed. He seemed perfectly in-
different to the whole proceeding. His
face was expressionless. HeIooked straight
at the man who was reciting the fatal
words, but there was not ev en- the quv,r
of muscle to indicate that he realized
their fearful import.
Sheriff Underwood. on the other hand,
was much affected. His voice broke now
and then, and the paper which he held
trembfcd like a leaf. After lie finished
reading, the sheriff advised the negro to
prepare himself for the end. Smith replied
that he had already done so, and wasn't
afraid to die.
After being led back to his cell, the con-
demned man availcd himself of the privilege
accorded criminals in his position of or
dering anything he wished for food.
Smith viii be kept in the city jail until
the morning of the day of his execution,
when he viii be taken to Marlboro.
He never speaks unless he is spoken
to, and has not given the wardcns and
keepers at the jail any trouble. When he
was arrested he admitted that he had
killed Miss Drown, and since then he has
not had much to say about the crime. He
has accepted his fate philosophicalIy.
