With tongue ir-triggered and swift,
With lungs that win eclat,
He wanders the country round about,
Plying his duplex jaw.
Grind. grind, grind.
From morn to the days decline,
He turns the crank of his photograph,
And sings 1.-The Song of the Mime
Talk, talk, talk.
IT'S the cure for labors i'll;
Array the West against the East.
And the farm against the MILL
Set the mob against the law,
Till the court is bound sRpine,
And the banner-bird of Freedom cast
To the vulture of the mine.
Talk, talk. talk.
Till the sun grows pale at noon;
And talk-talk-talk
To the dim, Disguised moon.
It's oh. to be captain bold
OF a Noah's Ark combine,
And run aground on the Ararat
That is over the silver mine"
Oh, Bryan, your tongue is slick
And your larynx supple and vast.
But you'll not persuade the folks. ween,
To your Barmecide repast.
Go home to the babbling Platte,
Your brow to it's waves incline,
Then charge the cost of smaller hat
To the lords of the silver mine.

The unreiability of the Indianapolis SEN
tinei as purveyor of facts has become
SO notorious that it is the laughing stock
of even its own supporters. At the open
ing of the present campaign it started a
mint for the free coinage of lies, and it's
correspondents throughout the State began
to send in material. No story. however
absurd or mendacious, was rejected. Fakes
of the rankest sort were rushed through
the mint, stamped truth and put in cir
culation, but ALL like the Rising Sun and
Hanover lies, have come back to the source
Of issue marked false" SO many of these
political fakes have been rejected by the
public that the Sentinel mas found difficulty
in keeping its mint in constant operation.

Mr.. Bryan seems to forget, when he is
making assaults upon corporations that
the inspiration and the sinews of tho silver
party are furnished by silver-mining corpo-
nations. and that the troubles between some
of these corporations and organized labor

in the history of labor troubles.

other section makes it a penal offense,
punishable by heavy fine and imprison-

rectly or indirectly, to receive any money

Still another section makes it a penal Of
Tense for a member or Senator to be in

from using their positions to make money
out of the government. Yet there are
several Senators who have been doing this
very thing for years and while their acts
and votes may not come within the letter
of the foregoing provisions. they are clear
ly within its spirit. Several silver Sena-
tors, notably Senators Jones, Stewart and
Teller have been voting for years to COM
pei the government to pay tribute to them
as silver mine owners, and now they pro-
pose to vote to make it stamp every 81
cents worth of their silver bullion as 100
cents. An honest judge never sits in
case in which he has any personal interest,
however small or remote, yet these silver
Senators, holding the balance of power in
the Senate, propose to vote to compel the
government to pay them tribute to the eX-
tent of millions and millions of dollars.

AT THE ThnATER.
MIR. Frederic BrytOn and 'Forgiven"
Make Up Strong Attraction.

MIR. Frederic BrytOn and "Forgiven"
Make Up n Strong Attraction.
Considering the hot weather 1t was a
very good audience that saw Forgiven"
at the theater last night, but it was not
as large as the piece deserved. It appears
very often that good play is greeted by
very small house and the next night a
show of the kind which ought to be pro-
hibited by Legislation from travelling,
comes along, and, assisted by bright
and catchy posters and glaring notices,
plays to a packed house Then the thea
ter-goers kick themselves
Forgiven is by that we'll known dram
atist, Clay NJ Greene and is really a very
strong drama. There is just little too
much heavy work, but not enough, how
ever to mar the piece. The action of the
play begins at st. Augustine, Americas
own Riviera and ends some seventeen
years after in Mexico, the land of the
greasers. The story is pretty one and
exceedingly well told. The climaxes are
strong and well drawn, and the interest
is well SUSTAINED throughout the four acts.
The character OF John Diamond, first
card sharp and then a devoted and
true husband and father was splendidly
portrayed by Mr.. Frederic Bryton. Dan
lei fedDouy, picturesque Kentuckian,
who was always mixing poker terms with
his phraseology, was very well taken by
Mr.. T. ]. Loring
The leading feminine part was played
by Miss Pauline Baxter. Her acting was
full of grace and emotion.
The entire supporting company was
good, and there was not a weak spot in
the cast. This is the first time For
given" has been presented by this com
pany, it having come directly from New
York and opening here.
Sir Charles Young's famous play. Jim
the Penman," will be the next attraction
Thursday night. The play is too well
known to say much of it. The leading
role will be in the hands of that sterling
actor and old favorite, Mr.. Frank c. Bangs
Mr.. Bangs will be remembered for his
work in the SILVER King" and as Col
Preston in Alabama" The company
supporting Mr.. Bangs has been carefully
selected, and is said to be exceedingly
strong.

RELIEF ASSOCIATION ORGANIZES.
supt. Dunham Made Chairman of the
Executive Board.

Superintendent Durham Of the Plant
! system returned yes terday from Way
! cross, where he had been as presiding Of
fcer of the executive board OF the Plant
System Relief and Hospital Association.
The executive committee is composed of
! twelve men appointed by the superintend-
ent of the system, and the Sunday meet
ing at Waycross was It's first, and was
held for the purpose Of organizing. The
appointments to the committee were
made from all the departments OF the
system, the official. the Office, the trans
portation, the engineering and the me-
chanical Superintendent Durham said
that, after the term OF the present execu-
tive committee has expired, It's member
ship will be elective by the employees of
the road, and will be the supreme power.
as It now is, in the management Of the
association.
The organization was perfected by the
election OF Superintendent Durham as
chairman and Mr.. Z. F. Barnes, chief
clerk to the machinery department Of the
fifth division, as secretary. The meeting
was held for the purpose Of fully explain
ing the methods to be employed in the
management OF the association, and, in
order that these might be as widely an
invited to attend and particularly few
whose positions and intelligence would
enable them to disseminate the informa-
ton gained as generally and correctly as
possible.
DR.. Frank Fl. Caldwell answered ques-
lions about the association for over two
hours, and the employees left impressed
with Its effectiveness and benefits. Among
some Of the questions asked was one re-
sarding the disposal of any fund that the
association might accumulate.
Supt. Durham replied that the associ-
alton belongs in whole and part to the
employees, from the lowest to the high
est, and that through the election Of its
executive board they could entirely con-
troll all questions pertaining to the dis
posal of its funds. He stated the case
of the Baltimore and Ohio road. whose
association was formed by Mr. Durham,
then its general manager on plans SINH
lar TO those OF the Plant systems. In that
association an accumulation OF SiOO 900
was made building and loan fund, the
members being loaned sums at very low
rates of interest and a fund for the pen
sionins Of old or decrepid members.
1t was also said that a mans retire.
ment from the road does not mean that
he Will have to give up his membership
and Insurance in the association.
The Hospital and Relief Association is
a separate ana distinct organization from
the system itself. On the occasion Of tho
Baltimore and Ohio going into the-recelv-
ers' hands the courts ruled that the large
fund Of the association was held by the
treasurer OF the road in trust, and order
ed it to be turned over. to the association.
DR.. Caldwell is in direct charge of the
association, but any appeal from his de-
cisions are made to the executive board.
The meetings OF the board are to be
quarterly. with any special one, subject
TO the can OF the chairman.

LABOR DAY A QUIET ONE.
No Parade, But Laboring Had "A Half
Holiday.

NO Parade But LabOrfng Had a Half
Holiday.
Labor day was not much Of holiday
in Savannah. due to the fact that labor
had very little part in the holiday. with
the exception OF the iaboring men who
have been enjoying permanent holiday
for some time.
There was little in the appearance OF the
streets to Indicate that It was a holiday.
Business was going on as usual, and there
were the usual crowds on the streets.
Even Thunderbolt proved a small at
traction, and only slim crowd went out
to Tivoh park. The banks were closed.
and so was the cotton exchange and the
board of trade. The city and county en-
ployes, at the city exchange and the
court house. got a holiday. and the Of
fees IN these two buildings were closed.
The employees Of the postofice got half
holiday.
Most Of the business houses on Bay
street observed the day as a half holi-
day but the retail stores on Broughton
street remained open as usual. The police
had very quiet day, which was a pretty
good indication that there was very little
holiday festiyity In progress.

CADETS HAVE A JOLLY TIME.
They Drink the Health of Bride
groom w. Il. Coney.

6NODM W. Il. NOheSs
The Savannah Cadets had very pleas
ant jollihcation last night at their quar-
tiers in the armory of the First regiment,
for which they thank Corporal Walter
p. Coney. The latter is now on his bridal
tour somewhere up in North Carolina,
but he took this occasion TO extend his
Inequalities to his comrades in arms.
Being the close Of the shooting season,
the entertainment came st a very appro-
pirate time. There was large attend
ance Of the company, and the health OF
Corporal Coney and his bride was literally
toasted. Maj. w. 8. Rockwell of the Sec
ond battalion, was present this being his
f1rst visit TO the company since his cleo
ton as major. Other visitors present were
ex-Lieut. r. NJ. Butler. Capt. w. n.
Nichols, inspector Of rife practice for the
First regiment, Lieut. c. p. Law OF the
Oglethorpes. The Masonic quartette,
Messrs. Walker, Reeves, Meyer and Dem
mond, was present, and added much to
the enjoyment of the evening. The Papy
brothers furnished some delightful music
WITH the mandolin and guitar, and Mr..
It. E. Keilbach rendered several piano So
los which were greatly enjoyed.
A feature of the evening was the pres
StNo u ~ Af&t0 . u. Nelson vi IlS GeOr-
gia Hussars, and Private r. C. Fetzer OF
the Cadets, two of Savannahs team which
80 distinguished itself at Sea Girt last
week. Messrs. Nelson and Fetzer were
received with cheers They arrived on
the Kansas City in the afternoon. Mr..
Nelson gave an interesting account of
how the thing was done at Sea Girt, and
II Is hardly necessary to state that he was
listened to very attentively.
The Cadets close the shooting season
this year with the best record at the tar
gets OF any company in the state, and
probably Of any In the country. They
nave been more faithful and persistent in
their practice on the range this season
than any other company and their per-
slstence has been duly rewarded. OF 66
men and officers, 65 have practiced regu-
larly on the range. The other man was
out OF the state. The result Is % sharp
shooters, IT marksmen. 9 nrst-class men,
4 second-class and 10 third-class. The In
diVidual figure of merit for the company,
as computed by Blunt's Small Arms Fir
ing Regulations, is 113. 1t is to be doubt
ed If there is another company anywhere
which can equal this record.
