Bryan ana III the OIHer IHcy ~ W
hear Mckinley. In one instance
it is matter of sightseeing and
in the other a matter of truth
seeking.
Some of the Yale professors
announce that another glacial
epoch is approaching, but all ap-
pearances indicate that it will not
strike this latitude until about
the Bird of November.
If time is money, it is strange
that the Bryanites don't propose
to give the people more of it by
the fat scheme providing that a
day shall consist of thirty-twO
hours. 1t would be just as feast
bic as the plan to enrich the ma
ton by splitting the American
dollar in two.
The Republican newspapers
throughout the country have
spent more than 100000 in re-
porting and publishing the
speeches of Mr.. Bryan, and yet
that fault-fnding tourist COM
plains that the press don't give
him a fair show. He is the only
man for whom the newspapers
ever ran in the same old speech
day after day, as if it were real
news matter.
The spectacle of "COin" HM-
vey denOuncing the One-armed
Howard and the one-legged Sick
les as "Old wrecks of the rebellion
who have lost all their patriotism
to become the tools of political
ShylOcks" is one that the eXhib-
>itOr will scarcely venture to re-
peat. He certainly won't if he
values the Wilderness of his hide.
The farmer who has no silver
is cordially invited by the free
cOiners to believe that his cOndi-
ton is to be enormously improv-
ed simply by putting other mems
silver up to twice its present
price. He might just as well be
told that he will be better off if
he is compelled to pay double
prices for his wagon and now
ing machine.
One of the convincing indi3a-
tons of Republican victory in H.
linOis is the fact that the free sill
yer hOwlers are already accusing
the honest money leaders of col
Onizing voters in the city of Chi
cago. 1t is simply the adoption
of the tactics of John G. Shee-
han, who is preparing for over
whelming POpocratic defeat in
the empire state by charging the
Republicans with cOlOnizing vOt-
ers in the city of New York.
With regard to the story that
it was the Paris cooking that
made the car i'll, a little inquiry
might show that he was the vic
tim of deadly "tabbledote" din
ner, surreptitiously introduced
into the French capital by some
Paris chef from New York.
NOrdau, the pessimist, con
cludes that the Americans will
not begin to degenerate for a
hundred and fifty years. We in
fer from this that he regards Pop
ulism as a mere harmless rash
rather than a chronic disease of
teh body polite.
Chicago is very much worried
because her deaths from typhoid
fever exceed those of New York
by So per cent. When Chicago
has water that she can consume
without the aid of knife and
fork things will perhaps be diff
ferentr
Candidate Watson may have
more brains than Candidate
Sewall, but the latter has the
larger bar'l. Yet the Georgian
pretends to wonder why he is
thrust aside to make room for the
PlutOcrat from Maine.
What the Utah POpulists want
is free silver and reciprocity.
Under free coinage they would
get it in so far as the other ma
tons would take our gold and
give us their silver in return for
it.
