THE national campaign, says the
Philadelphia Press, has been unusually
eventful during the last week. Two
State elections have been held in the
South, where it was hoped by the sup
porters of Bryan that large majorities
would inspire their followers and assure
solid South for their candidate. The
elections in Florida and Georgia, how
ever, have been sadly Disappointing, as
they prove that Florida is fairly doubt
full in the national contest, and that
Georgia will give Bryan only a small
majority.
Two significant events occurred on
Friday. In Chicago the friends of
sound money turned out 100000 strong
in daylight march through the streets
of that city, embracing all classes and
conditions, and in that immense pro
cession the working men of Chicago
were eminently conspicuous. In the
evening, the followers of Bryan made
demonstration, and even TIE report
of the New York Journal, the only
Bryan organ in New York city, admits
that the sound money demonstration
was three times larger than that made
for Bryan. 1t has settled the attitude
Of Chicago in this contest, and seems
to have settled beyond peradventure
that Illinois will vote for Mckinley by
a very large majority.
The usual registrations began in New
York city and Brooklyn on Friday, and
they have been unexampled in magni-
tlde Never before in the history of
modern politics have the people OF New
York exhibited such intense desire TO
qualify themselves to vote. The in
creased registrations of New York and
Brooklyn exceeded the ordinary regis
tration by over 80 per cent, and il is
now no longer doubted that New York
and Brooklyn will poll the largest vote
ever cast for President, and that Nc
Kinley will carry both cities by decided
majorities.
Bryan has continued his oratorical
journey throughout the country, but
the enthusiasm Of his reception in the
West seems steadily on the wane. Ii It's
there that he must make his battle,
and it is plainly evident that his recep-
ti"n in the West on his return from his
tour i'm the East falls far short of the
receptions given him when he started
from his home. In other words. the
evidence is conclusive that the cheap
money craze is steadily dying out, and
that the people Of the West, who are
naturally as honest as the people of the
East, have been studying the money
question from the standpoint of public
and private integrity, and that the
cause of sound money is gaining with
each day. The result of the week shows
unmistakable advance on the McXin-
ley side, and corresponding retrogres-
sion on the Bryan side.
The national election is now only
three weeks distant, and with the tide
in favor of sound money growing in
every section of the country, and with
the great Eastern and Middle States no
longer doubtful, all indications must
be at fault if Mckinley shall not be
,lcct"d Presiuent by the largest msjor-
ity ever given TO any candidate for the !
highest civil trust of the world.

Wnsoked OF Her Big Toe.

phine Thomas, domestic on a farm lust
below here, arose with the sun to prepare
the breakfast for the family this morning.
She had just put on her shoes when she
felt something moving in her right shoe.
She started 10 remove il when she felt a
singing sensation in her great toe. Has
lily kicking OFF the shoe she was dismay-
ed to see hinge black spider crawl out
of her shoe and scurry across the floor.
By this time her whole foot commenced
10 pain intensely and her toe was swelling
rapidly aud turning black. knowing
that people sometimes die from spider
bites, the plucky girl hastily tied cord
around her ankle TO prevent the poison
from spreading. Then with a butcher
knife she severed her toe from her foot.
Growing alarmed lest she might bleed TO
death, Miss Thomas awoke the house
hold and told them what had happened.
4 farm hand was dispatched for q ply
sician who when he examined the
wound, said nothing further was neces-
sary except to dress the foot, which he
did. This afternoon the girl i reported

she still suffers much pain.

THERE has been no change in the
deplorable Congressional situation in
this district since our last issue. Up to
the time of our going TO press the Dau-
phin County Court has not handed
down its decision as to whether the
name of ]. ID. Hicks or +. J. kooser
shall be regularly placed upon the
ticket, or whether neither was legally
nominated. Should the Court decide
that neither was lawfully nominated,
then it is questionable whether Re
publican Congressional candidate can
be voted for except by sticker or by
writing the name in the blank column
of the ticket. Both Mr.. Thropp and
Mr.. Hicks filed nomination papers,
which raises the question whether
nomination papers filed by two candid
ates in the same district under the same
party appellation is legal, and if so,
which is entitled 10 priority. The rule
in the State Department Is, that where
two candidates in a district file nomin-
alton papers under the same party
name, neither will be certified. This
question will have to be legally deter
mined, should the Court decide neither
Mr.. Kooser nor Mr.. Hicks to be the
regular nominee. Should the railing
of the State Department be sustained
neither Mr.. Thropp nor Mr.. Hicks
could go on the ticket by nomination
papers, and stickers or writing the
name would have to be res0rted to
Should the Court decide in favor OF
priority of filing, Mr.. Hicks would
come in first, rs his papers were filed
some hours before Mr.. Thropp's. Owing
to this senseless and unnecessary mud
die, brought abont by the foOlishnes:
and selfishness of two or three men, the
campaign in the entire district has beer
greatly delayed, and much harm TO the
National, as well as to the local ticket
| in the several counties of the district
| has been done. In the meanwhile Mr
Mcnamara, the candidate of the party
of free trade, free silver, Reputation
and anarchy, is quietly at work, and
as each day passes, sees his chances o
representing this district, with its l2,00I
Republican majority, in the next Con
gress, grow brighter and brighter.

Wheat and Corn Outlook.

NEW YORK. Oct Sin its issue for the
current week the American Agricultur-
ist says: Actual threshing returns from
all winter and spring wheat States show
the total wheat crop of the United
States for 90 TO be Az, ,O0O, 900 bus, against
400, 100000 bushels last year. The pres
ent returns of yield per acre, as reported
by actual threshing results from the en-
tire wheat belt, is 1913 bushels winter
and 1873 bushels spring. According to
final reports, the paper says, the oats
crop for 1895 is 7l7,2j0,OOO BUSH, against
9Oi, 900, 900 bush. in 1896
The average yield per acre is 23.6 BUSH
els. The general quality is, perhaps, the
worst on record. Not only is the grain
extraordinarily light, but heavy rains at
and after harvest greatly damaged it, and
the proportion of merchantable oats will
be unusually small. The paper further
states that the general condition of corn
October was sa3 and hints that the crop
will finally measure bat little if any un-
der ?, 590. .0J0, ,00J bushels.

1850 and 1895

In one thing the country will be inclin-
81 TO agree with Senator Teller. In a
laie speech ia Cleveland he declared that
the issues to be settled this year are more
important than were the issues in 1850.
He is right.
The question of the right of 4 State to
secede from the Union was Of no greater
danger to the nation than is the assump
tion that the Federal Government is
without legal authority to deal with a
mob that obstruct the movement of inter
state commerce and the carriage of the
mails, or that the executive should not
project the public credit as authorized by
law, or that the right Of contract ought
TO be abridged, or that the standard of
value whereby all transactions have been
measured for hundred years should he
abolished.
The proposition in 1868 was 10 divide
the Union into Free and Slave States !;
the proposition now is TO TO divide il into
Silver States and Slave States.
