An Awkward Mistake.

These short bicycle skirts are certain
ly a great leveler," said the south side
man as he looked out of the car window
at a passing wheelwoman, according to
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. ESPECIALLY
for a somewhat nearsighted man." he ir-
relevantly added. Then he sighed as if
at some passing recollection and presently
continued.
Early last evening I was walking near
my home when a wheelwoman just ahead
of me attracted my attention. She was
trim and neat, and dressed in excellent
taste. Her gray skirt just reached where
her boot tops would ordinary have been.
She wore very high and nicely rounded
tan shoes, however, and her feet and an
kles looked decidedly trim and shapely.
She wasn't riding, but had her wheel
on the sidewalk, pushing 1t along. The
vision was such a charming one, from the
tam O. shanter hat to the very boot heels.
that l fingered little. Then 1 braced up
and hurried past. Just as l did so a IA
miliar voice called
why, George, is that you? Didn't you
know me?"
why, no, I didn't, honestly" 1 replied
and felt like rubbing my eyes.
That's awfully good" said the trim
wheelwoman, with a merry laugh. IT
was just going over to show Nellie my
new wheel and my new suit"

wbat MIR. watson Means.

When Mr.. Watson left Atlanta for Tex
as there was some speculation as TO the
character of his mission to that state. As
is well known, the populists are strong in
Texas They claim to be able to cast
nearly half of the states vote. The re-
publicans are credited with about a fifth
of the states vote. It is thought by the
populists that with the help Of the re-
publicans they can carry the state.
Hence. efforts are being made by the
populists to fuse with the republicans, and
the republicans are not averse TO an ar
rangement of that kind The democrats
also are willing to make some concessions
TO the republicans for the republican vote,
A brief synopsis OF Mr.. Watson's speech
made at Dallas at a Labor day meeting
on Monday was published in our dis
patches yesterday. And what was Mr..
Watson's attitude in respect to the demo-
Gratis, and also the republicans? The dis
patch states that Mr.. Watson was es-
pecially severe in his denunciation of the
democratic party, but said practically
nothing against the republicans" He at
tackled Mr.. sewall, the democratic nomi-
lltt AOL ' 4Nb IitSlutlttS with great Dlt-
terness, and at the same time announced
that he was in the fight to the finish
that is. that he would not withdraw as a
vice presidential candidate.
We should say that Mr.. watson's mis-
sion to Texas was to assist the populists
in reaching an understanding with the
republicans-that he wants the populists
and republicans to fuse with the view
of soaring the national democratic COM
mttee into withdrawing Mr. Sewal from
the presidential ticket and putting him
in Mr.. Sewalrs place.
Mr.. Watson may succeed in carrying
out successfully what appears to be his
Texas programme, but we feel sure he
will not succeed in having himself put in
Mr.. Sewalps place. The democratic party
could not afford to make such con-
cession to the populists. Why it could
not afford to do so is so apparent that it is
not necessary to give the reasons.

Two charming young southern women
have ensconced themselves in coy den
on Forty-fourth street west, says the New
York Times. They are both of a Iitera-
ry turn, and came to New York two weeks
ago from Dixie, to seek fame and fortune
on the troubled sea of journalism. Their
pocketbooks are still unexhausted, and
they are supremely happy
"Oh, it's lovely" said one of them "Of
course 1t is different from the south, and
that Is it's chiefest charm. For two girls
like us to live alone in this delightful fash
ion, and make our own living by our own
work. would result in all manner of I'M
kind things being said about them in the
south and very shortly in their complete
social ostracism. No matter how ambi-
tious or how talented a girl may be, in
the south she will find herself restricted
by social regulations from making her
own way and enjoying the freedom and
independence that making ones own liv-
ing bring to one. We two decided to go
TO some place where we could fine employ
ment for our brains and some degree of
freedom for ourselves, and at least to
escape from an early marriage, which is
supposed to be the goal of nearly every
girls ambition in the south Here we are
happy. We have been treated with uni
form courtesy by the people of New York
with whom we have come in contact and
we have the satisfaction of knowing that
we are independent.
But l guess, when we really contem-
plate matrimony we will go back south
to find our husbands" the young woman
added, laughingly.

Sweet old story Got hitter.

They were nestled close together on one
of the benches on the sloping lawn in
front of Belmont mansion, under the full
glare of an electric light, says the Phila-
delphia Record. Behind them, on other
benches, were 500 or coo other people listen
ing to the music, and everybody set them
down for a pair of 'softies." She was
atttred in natty boomers. Leaning on the
bench behind them were two bicycles, one
of Anticipated pattern, the other a modern
wheel. The spectators of the interesting
scene were taking In everything, and not
few of the men were envious. The band
played Tell Me Once Again the Story
Old" Those nearest TO the center of at
traction could hear the man softly singing
the words: Tell me once again the story
old. the dearest, sweetest story ever told. j"
Suddenly there came a lull in the music.
unnoticed by the supposed cooling couple.
and the woman's sarcastic comment on
her escorts song, spoken shrilly enough
for all to hear, dispelled pretty Illusion:
Yes the same blamed old lie about
having enough money to buy me a new
wheel. You've sprung that sweet old
story ever since we We're married. Don't
you think it time to let up?"
And the band played on.

An UncInimed PocIzetbook.

did you ever find the owner of that
pocketbook you picked up on the street
the other day?" asked Jones of the man
who occupied the next desk in his office,
says the Chicago Times Herald.
No; 1 was unable to find the owner"
Amy clew as to the person TO whom it
belonged?"
None except that there was one of
those three-inch square bits of lace which
women call handkerchiefs. There wasn't
any name whatever in it, nor a single
thing by which 1 could discover its
owner"
why didn't you advertiser"
why didn't 1 advertise? Manquily, do
you think, by heaven, that l am a thief?
1 don't want to keep any one else's prop
erty. OF course, L advertised. That's all
could do, and if the owner doesn't read
the advertisements it isn't my fault. 1
couldn't run around town asking every
passer by il they had lost a pocketbook
Of course, I couldn't. l did advertise"
I'm all the papers?"
Every one Of them, and it cost me 50
at that, which would be deducted from
the $40 1t contained"
That's queer. 1 should think she-for
it was a woman, wasn't it"
Yes, the handkerchief proved that"
well, 1 should have thought that she
would have looked in the advertisements
But she didn't"
'Humph."
A long pause followed Both men were
busy with something else. After a while
Jones, who had been thinking about it in
the meantime, says:
Say, let me see that advertisement you
put in the paper for the owner of the
purse"
Jones hands it to him. He reads:
IF the homely looking woman, about 40
years of age, who lost a pocketbook on
state street Tuesday afternoon, will call
in person at room -, Skyscraper build
ing. and prove her identity, she can have
the same by paying cost of the advertise
ment."
Jones read it slowly three times and
then shouted in admiration:
by heavens, old man, what a wonder
full conscience you have. How did you
know that she was homely or 40 years of
age?"
Il just guessed it,"
And the pocketbook is still unclaimed.

cnmnnirn work Nceden.

We have several times called attention
| to the need of more earnest and active
work in the state campaign by the demo-
cratic leaders, and our dispatches yester-
day from Atlanta confirm our belief that
we have made no mistake in doing so.
Only about a month more for campaign
work remains, and there appears to be
good reason for saying that it would be
a serious mistake to assume that the
democrats are going to carry the state
whether they make special efforts to do so
or not. We have no doubt, of course, that
the democracy will be victorious. Still,
there is chance that 1t will not. The
fact should not be overlooked that the
populists are working earnestly and per-
sistently for their ticket. They may not
have a very large humber OF speakers
actively engaged in campaign work. but
they are holding meetings in about every
county, according TO reports. and getting
their voters organized. AS far as we are
able to learn they are much more active
than the democrats.
This condition of affairs should be
changed at once. The best stump speak
ers the democrats have s~ould be put to
w6rk, and every county should be thor
oughly canvassed. The democratic ma
jority should be made as big as possible.
A small majority would encourage the
popuists to greater efforts in the Novem-
Der election. and might justify them in
hoping to carry the state two years hence.
Gov. Atkinson thinks he is going to get
the bulk of the negro vote. He has some
grounds for thinking so, but he does not
know that the republican leaders will not
endeavor to control the colored republi-
can vote for the populist ticket. 1t is
well known that the white republican
leaders are against the democratic party,
not because they have any preference for
the populist party, but simply because
they think it good politics to defeat the
democratic party. The populists and re-
publicans combined would poll a pretty
big vote.
Chairman Clay appears to realize that
there is need for much more work among
the democratic voters than is being done.
What is needed is a thorough stirring up
of the democrats in order to get them so
interested that they will take the trouble
to go to the polls on election day. If
full democratic vote can be got out the
result will be an old-time democratic ma
iorftv

A Great Labor Movement.

The report that comes from London re-
specting a great, strike of 'longshoremen
reads like a sensational newspaper story,
but it may have some foundation. 1t is,
in effect, that the men engaged on the
docks of London, in loading and unload
ing ships, are perfecting an organization
to include the wharf laborers not only Of
all the ports of Great Britain. but also
of those Of the continent, the United
States. Canada and Australia.
Some years ago the London dock labor
ers inaugurated a strike. There were
about 100000 of them, and they secured
some concessions from the Lon
don dock companies. but they
have not been able to get
any OF their demands granted since
that time, because when a strike occurred
I'm one locality shipping business was
abandoned there temporarily and carried
on at points not affected by the strike.
The plan under the proposed organization
is to strike in all the ports Of the world at
the same time.
1t would be rather novel to have strike
at all the ports of this country in order to
force the dock companies of London to
yield to the demands of dockmen on Lon
don wharves. II there is any foundation
for the story of such an organization il
would be pretty safe to conclude that
those who are the promoters of il have
undertaken more than they can accom-
plish. If such an organization were effect
ed 1t would be so unwieldly that it would
soon go to pieces.

MCKINLEY ON Money.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer Dem

Until about the date of his letter of ac-
ceptance he had been on the silver side Of
the financial controversy during a public
life of about twenty years. 1t was he
who voted for the Bland free-coinage bill
upon entering congress. II was he who
voted for the Bland-Allison act over the
veto of President Hayes and earnest pro-
test OF Secretary John Sherman. II was
he who voted for the Matthews resolution,
declaring the bonds payable in silver dol
lars OF the present weight and fineness.
IL was he who has repeatedly declared
In favor Of gold and silver in recent years

speech that he wanted the double stand

The difference in the reply Of Mr.. Hanna
and that of Mr.. Bryan when each was
asked about his opinion Of the outcome
of the election is worth noting. Mr..
Hanna was non-committaL He said the
silver sentiment was strong in the west
and that 1t would take great effort to
change it in favor of the existing gold
standard. He wanted the people of the
east to understand that the election was
not yet won by Mr.. Mckinley. On the
other hand, Mr.. Bryan says ne feels alb
solutely sure of being elected. Appar-
emily he hasn't doubt about it.
Mr.. Bryan does not think the crowds
which assemble to hear him speak are
moved by idle curiosity. He says he is
satisfied that the great majority of them
are in hearty sympathy with the views
he expresses. There is no good reason
to doubt that he is right. The enthusiasm
which is displayed at his meetings is the
best kind of evidence that his cause is
a popular one. Those who hold a contrary
opinion are likely to find out their mis-
take when the returns of the national
election are received.

Some time ago the statement was wide
ly published that Mr.. Bryan was a rail-
road lawyer, and had received a regular
salary from the Missouri Pacific. There
was no truth in the statement. Then 1t
was charged by a Chicago paper, and re-
peated on the stump by Senator Thurs
ton, that Mr.. Bryan was paid by silver
mine owners to advocate free silver coin
age Mr.. Bryan denied that so emphat-
ically that the charge has not again been
repeated. Now another charge has been
sprung. this time by the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal 1t is that Mr.. Bryan stated
in a speech delivered in Mount Vernon,
ILL.,, on March II last, that he voted for
Gen. Weaver, the populist candidate for
President, in 1892. The charge is in shape
of an AFFIDAVIT 1t is pretty safe to say
that this is another campaign falsehood

The number OF presidential tickets in
the field this year is unusually large and
the ballots will be large in states in
which the Australian ballot system has
been adopted. shl, IL should not be
forgotten that there have been only two
presidential elections in which there have
not been more than two presidential
tickets. As a general thing. however,
only two tickets have received any cleo
toral votes. And It looks as II two tick
cts would get all the electoral votes this
year, although the chances are that three
vice presidential candidates will get cleo
toral votes.
