From the Twentieth Century: 1t
would be hard for us who believe In
William j. Bryan and the cause he
represents to regard him as other than
a leader. He has found place in the
hearts of those who labor for the up
building of humanity which will not
soon become vacant. Even now, when
disappointed and detected by the result
of the election, his words fill us with
hope when he says "the fight has just
commenced" Indeed, whatever his
enemies have said heretofore, they
ist now admit that he is great even
in defeat. 1t is no small comfort to us
to have leader of whom we are proud,
and we should pay him the compliment
of following his example of accepting
defeat gracefully and join with him in
the work of reform so nobly begun. To
falter now because defeated in the first
battle would be cowardly, and would
indicate a lack of conviction in the
principles which we have hitherto con-
sidered so necessary for the prosperity
of our country. We have faith enough
in Mr.. Bryan to say where thou lead
we follow" and, therefore, the TWEEN
tieth Century will in the future, as in
the past, be found in the front rank
seeking to uplift and battling for the
rights Of humanity.

These Are the Questions.

From the Providence Journal.-The
pressing question is the protection Of
the currency. How shall the gold re-
serve be maintained, if We are going
to try to continue it? What shall be
done with the legal tender paper?
How can we best secure for ourselves
a safe and satisfactory monetary sys-
TEN, in place of the want of system we
now have and in accordance with the
verdict of the people expressed at the
polls this month? These are the ques-
tons the Republicans should be now
discussing and planning to deal with,
instead of mumbling the old tariff
shibboleths in the ears Of an unsym-
pathetic people.

DR.. w. P. Northrup, in an article en-
titled, "Antitoxin Treatment Of Diph-
iberia, Pronounced Success" in the
Forum, proclaims that since the day
Lister proposed antiseptics in surgery,
medicine has not taken so great step
in advance as that of anti-toxin. DR..
Northrup's article is chiefly devoted
to the analysis Of the report of a COM
nHttee of the American Pedriatic So
ciety, which claims to have obtained
statistics in support of the new treat
ment He says: "The results of the
committees investigation may be brief
ly summarized as follows: OF the 1884
cases reported to the committee 450
died, mortality Of 10 per cent. or
the 942 New York Board of Health
cases 1859 died, mortality of IT'S per
cent. OF the 1,468 cases treated by the
Chicago Board of Health "a died, NOR
tally of ga per cent. The total 5,794
cases gave 713 deaths, mortality of
1913 per cent. We may justly set be-
side them the reports of all cases of
diphtheria occurring in New York city,
which, for six years preceding the in
PRODUCTION of antitoxin, from 18S9-94,
inclusive, give mortality of 80 per
cent-the lowest mortality during that
period being that of rs per cent in 1889.
The result of any comparison that can
be made is decisive verdict in favor
OF the antitoxin treatment"

United States at that time the gold
standard could not have existed, to
embarrass the world, for, though Eng
land was by her law q gold standard
country, she was under the bimetalllc
law, and her merchants received silver
freely, at the French ratio 151a to l.
If an earnest effort be made to force an
international agreement by the incom-
ing administration either by discrinat-
ing duties against gold standard coun-
tries, or by declaration that we shall
act alone in case of failure to secure
concert of action there can be no rea-
son to doubt it's success.
Our vast economic and industrial
powers would secure the advantage OF
the Oriental and Central American
trade, freed from the endorsements
incidental to fluctuating exchange.
This is the lever that would compel
European action, as has been shown
time and again by able writers and
thinkers abroad.
We believe that this is well under
stood abroad. Knowing our power,
they strenuously oppose our action
This ought to be apparent.
The so-called decline in silver is but
the rise in gold. It's rehabilitation would
simply add to the stock of metallic
money of the world the annual pro-
duct of the mines less the large amount
diverted in the arts from monetary
use.

Teller's Opinion.

Senator Teller says: During the
four years to come 1 expect to see the
republican party abandon all pretense
to a desire to secure international b.
metallism, and the contest will here
after be made between the gold stand
ard supporters and the organized
hosts of bimetallism. 1 think that
four years from now people will be suf-
flciently educated to understand the
danger of the gold standard, and the
party that stands for bimetallism In
1900 by the United States alone will be
successful
There is no reason why we should
be discouraged. Our candidate was all
we could desire and performed his
part to perfection. We must not look
backward, but forward. The silver
forces have a magnificent organization,
and now for the first time the fight is
transferred from the silver states to
the whole country"

DEBUT OF JENNY LIND.

In America Aroused Unparalleled En-
thu.asm-Pe Picture of the Sinl er.
Hon. A. Oakley Hall believes that
no singer ever created the furore that
Jenny Lind did upon the occasion of
her professional visit to America. He
was present when Jenny Lind sang
in Castle Garden" and recalls, In the
Ladies' Home Journal, the famous ar
fist, and the unparalleled warmth OF
her greeting. In describing her first
appearance on the American stage Mr..
Hall writes: Z" y y But now expec-
tation is at an end; for there advances
from behind the partition in the nat,
which at once serves as screen and
sounding board, lady with beaming,
childlike face, full of frank sincerity.
She wears gown of simple white silk.
The familiar Victorian bandeau of hair
about her temples proclaims this stat
uesque lady to be the ong-expected
Jenny Lind. At first there Is hush
over the great audience, for surely new
or before was there seen SO unpreten-
tious prima donna. Where are her
diamonds? Where the personal orna-
ments, jeweled stars and ribboned Or
ders that have been showered upon her
by the old worlds royalties and gran
dees? Awakening from the surprise
at such simplicity of toilette as might
have appertained to simple Swedish
maiden-not of high degree-the crowd
literally goes wild with enthusiasm.
The men and women rise in their seats
with one movement as of a drilled
army, while five thousand threats pro-
duce a volume of welcome that must
amaze the crews of the vessels with
out. Handkerchiefs are waving fran
tically in air regardless of tearing the
delicate lace of their edges, gloves by
the hundred are being burst by hand
clapping, and a torrent of braves Is
being hurled toward the plump little
lady in white, whose eyes are becoming
moist, but who stands with an air Of
dignity quite distinct from the ordi-
nary self-consciousness of the average
prima donna. To her face has come
the blend of womanly sweetness and
modesty, with childlike simplicity. AS
I gaze she seems to me an embodiment
Of the confidence of genius and the
serene wisdom Of art. Minute after
minute passes, and yet the cheering,
the clapping and the waving continue.
Never before, even in spasmodic Paris,
has such a triumphant welcome been
| accorded her"

The Most Wonderful Feature

The most wonderful feature of this
wonderful campaign is the matchless
endurance displayed by Mr.. Bryan. It
is without parallel in the history Of
the country, and has even excited the
admiration of his bitterest opponents.
Providence always raises up leader
in a great national crisis. In the
Revolution it was Washington, in the
contest with the old United States
bank it was Jackson, in the conflict
with the slave power it was Lincoln,
and now in the fight against the ag-
erosion of the money power 1t 10
Bryan. In each instance the leader
was worthy of his cause, and won the
peoples cause.-Denver News.

From the Herald, Oregon City, Greg.
We have fought manfully; we may
have lost. We are proud of our prin-
ciples; we hail with admiration our
possibly defeated but undaunted chief,
William j. Bryan. He is hero in
defeat and his name shall be sung by
the common people of future genera
tons. His picture-a pleasant, manly
face-still adorns many a patriots
humble home. No greater, grander,
truer patriot ever espoused the cause
of the great common people. His name
and noble deeds shall yet become
treasures in American history. Be it
deferred victory or hard-earned defeat
we hail our chief and are justly proud
of his valiant fight. Hurrah for
William Jennings Bryan!

The recent election not only docs
not settle the money question, but
does not even settle the point as to
whether a majority of the people are
in favor of free coinage. The battle
was fought under the democratic
standard and that standard was so
yullied with treachery and disgrace
that thousands of democrats deserted
1t and other thousands of free silver
populists and free silver republicans
would not rally around it. The only
thing the recent election settles is that
free silver coinage can never BIZ wen
under the democratic banner.

THE ORIGINAL CRANE DANCE.
Now Initiated by Dashing Soubrettes
on the Variety Stage.

Now Initiated by Dashing Soubrettss
on the Variety Stage.
There is a dance called the Crane
Dance" which is popular at the vauds-
vile houses just now. No purely imi-
tative dancing could fail to gain by
being an exact copy Of the performance
of the long-necked, spfndle-legged sand
hill crane Its steps are not only gro
tesque, but they are Of kind to make
the gravest onlooker lose his dignity
and laugh like delighted boy at the
circus. The crane begins its dance
by showing one leg, with its claw at
tachment, straight out in front of his
body. Then he lowers 1t and draws 1t
back slowly until it is within an inch
or two of the ground. Then there ia
a lightning-like double shuttle, and the
other leg Is pointed to the front. Then
the dance begins in earnest. The wings
are stretched and beat the air in per-
feet time to the movement Of the feet,
be they going fast or slow. There is
the semblance of clog, then the sim
uous foot and body movement of the
Nautch girl, and in moment the whirl
of the dancing Dervish, to be succeeded
as finale by sort of wild "all hands
round" in which every feather Of the
bird is alive as 1t enters into the Joy
of the dance with an utter abandon.
The act Of stopping is like the halt"
of the German soldier sudden, stiff,
and instant. Then the crane marches
away to a corner with a still stately
tread, but with an eye which appears to
reveal Embarrassment.

a Convincing Letter.

From the Star, Marion, S. c.: Bry-
ans letter to the bimetallists of Amer
lea is characteristic of the man, broad
and liberal in its tone, yet firm in its
declarations of right. 1t will convince
the people that this brilliant young
advocate of righteous cause can
gather strength from disaster. Defeat
will strengthen the cause of silver and
make possible a democratic congress,
and senate in 1900. With this in view
the leaders will continue the fight and
keep before the people the principles
for which they contended so nobly In
1896.

HENRY c. GUST.

The circular saw has come into such
general use that It Is accepted as one
OF the indispens a BILE mechanical instru-
ments and few ever give thought to
the inventor. In tracing the history OF
saws back to the origin, Mr.. c. A. Dun
ham finds that the circular saw was in
vented in America about the year 1910
by a combmaker Of the name OF Harris
horn. He found the Old-fashioned
method of using common handsaw to
saw out tho horn between the teeth OF
the comb rather slow. lie therefore
took common copper penny, known
locally as "Bungtown copper filed 1t
down somewhat thinner, drilled hole
through its center, squared the hole anu
cut the teeth in its outer edge. he
then placed it upon the mandrel and
nut il upon his lathe. On that he sawed
ont his combs.
The new saw worked SO well that ha
cut up his harasaw and converted that
also into circular SAWS for making
combs. He lived and died in Mansfield
Coma. where the wooden nutmegs
come from" He was also the inventor
OF the screw and lip auger. He never
took ont any patents, claiming that II
he had done anything that was OF bene-
fit to his fellow men they were welcome
to THE Inventor.
