The following is an editorial from
the London Financial News (goldbug):
"There is plain moralin the remark
that if the United States would venture
to cut herself adrift from Europe and
take outright TO silver she would have
all America and Asia at her back and
the command of the markets of both
countries. The barrier Of gold would
be more fatal than any barrier of Gus
tom house. The bond of silver would be
stronger than any bond of free trade.
There can be no doubt about it that il
the Uniled States were to adopt sill
yer basis tomorrow British trade would
be ruined before the year was out,
Every American would be protected,
not only at home, but in every other
market. OF course, the United States
would suffer to a certain extent through

there.

The majority by which the chancery
judges were elected was not as large as
some Jealous democrats hoped, but it
was large enough to break the silence
of H. Clay Evans on his candidacy. A
majority of 10000 in a dull August
election does not amount to much, but
to the political acumen of an office
seeking martyr like Evans it was
enough to indicate that Bryan and
Sewall, Bob Taylor and the Happy
Home ticket would get there over his
pr otest by at least so, 900.
Evans is too smart to get it in the
neck again, His failure to refuse to
become candidate until after the
August election shows that it is not
worth while to pass him empty honors
this year.

having to pay her obligations abroad
in gold, but the loss of exchange un der
this head would be mere drop in the
bucket as compared to the profit to be
reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing of
Europe. The marvel is that the Uni
ted States have not long ago seized the
opportunity. 1t has been a piece of
luck that it has never occurred to the
Americans to scoop us out of the
worlds markets by going on a silver
basis, and it might serve us right if, ir-
ritated by the contemplate apathy of
our government toward the silver
problem, the Americans retaliated by
freezing out gold. 1t could be done
easily"
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1896-08-13
Why? Why? Why?

The organs of Wall street opinions
and interests are still loud in their
praises of Mr.. Pierpont Morgan and
his associates for coming to the relief
of the treasury" in restoring and agree
ing to protect the gold reserve.
This action is praiseworthy, as The
World has said, although as prudent
and selfish as any patriotic" deed
that has been performed since the war.
Mr.. Morgan and the money magnates
that bow when he mods and shut their
eyes when he winks know perfectly
we'll that another issue of bonds this
summer to protect the gold reserve
would render the election of Bryan so
certain that no amount of 'hustling
and hollering," though backed by the
biggest campaign fund ever raised,
could prevent it. 1t is therefore very
enlightened selfshness, mostint6rested
patriotism, that leads the bankers
syndicate to render bond issue I'M
necessary and to stop the export of
gold.
But their ability to do this raises the
question, which thus far has had no
answer, "why did not Mr.. Morgan and
his associates go to the rescue and re-
lief of the treasury in the same way in
1895, and again last winter ? They had
or could easily have commanded as
much gold then as now. They had
then no more use for gold aside from
forcing premium or a bond issue
than they now have. The World urged
them to do then what they have done
now. 1t would have been far less risky
then than it is now, for the country
was not then confronted with the serious
menace of descent to the silver basis.
But the great financiers would moi
heed Instead of organizing syndi.
cate to fill up the gold reserve from
their vaults in exchange Of greenback;
they frightened Mr. Cleveland and Mr.
Carlisle into the belief that panic was
imminent, and that the only way tC
prevent it and to protect the treasury
was to sell them bonds for greatly less
than the market price. And thus by
taking the government by the throat
they made profit of millions within
a few days, at no risk and with little
trouble.
No incident or circumstance of the
past ten years has done so much to in
vite the popular uprising which has
overwhelmed one PARTY and which
menaces the other as did the secret
bond sale of 1896 and the grudging and
partial response to The Worlds de-
mand for popular loan last winter
They were as sparks to the fuse. The
present guardianship Of the treasury
by the power that once "held it up" il
a very different way is perfect yindi-
cation of The Worlds position. New
York World, gold standard.

BOURKE,S BOLT.

The bolt of Bourke Cochran is one of
the instances which show how far it is
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
The circumstances surrounding Mr.
Cochran will render the bolt as harm
less as castoria. He has just returned
from England where it is exported he is
trying to marry. He objected in the
biggest speech he ever made to Cleve-
lands nomination at Chicago 1899, be-
cause he said he could not be elected.
Bryan answered Bourke's tarihspeech
in the house in '93 and did it in such an
able manner that the laurels on the
brow of the New Yorker withered
slightly. Tammany shelved Bourke
and when Tammany declared for Bryan
Bourke went to the opposition. OF all
the men in New York that could have
bolted Bourke will have the least infu-
ence. His opposition to the platform
is regarded as the jest of the campaign.

Henry George in the New York
Journal But at length, to close the
debate, Bryan, of Nebraska, took the
stand, and with his first words there
began scene which I think must be
without parallel, not merely in the his
tory Of American conventions, but in
the history of the world display of
the power Of we'll chosen speech to
move and stir great masses Of men that
can hardly before have had its equal.
All that the imagination pictures of
Demosthenes and Cicero, all that we
have heard Of the great orators of the
English tongue, was realized today in
q vaster audience than any oratorin by
gone days could possibly have ad-
dressed. I listened to Bryan, when,
known then as the "Boy Orator Of the
Platte," he first came to congress. His
oratory then was high of its kind, but
had something Of sophomorita flavor.
AS he stood upon the platformI could
see that the years had matured him in
appearance, but did not realize how
it had matured his power. Graceful in
figure and fine of feature, he faced dur
ing the applause that greeted him the
human sea whizzed and fumed through
the vast hall. When he began to speak
his clear, penetrating, exquisitely
modulated tones soon compelled ON at
tention that deepened as he put in well
chosen words the thoughts which were
in the breasts of q majority their earn
est demand, their defiant purpose, The
man had come for whom such hall
and such an audience seemed the most
fitting place and garniture.
When he ended with climax of a
thrilling peroration the feelings of the
rapt sea broke into a cyclone of enthu-
siasm, expressed in every possible way.

The following extracts from the pens
of prominent correspondents for promi-
nent northern papers give interesting
pen pictures of the stirring scenes Incl
dent to Mr.. Bryan's great speech
From special correspondent of the
New York Herald: "rhe Silver Knight
of the West" William Jennings Bryan
of Nebraska, set the convention on fire
this afternoon with speech which will
be acclaimed by the coming generation
of schoolboy orators. 1t was followed
by demonstration which will never be
forgotten by the 10000 persons who
witnessed it and participated in it,
Up to the time of Bryan's onslaught
the convention had not been dull for
want of effective oratory. The fearful
and pleading Col. Fellows, of New
York the fiery and impulsive Black
burn, of Kentucky /; the forceful and
| aggressive Altgeld, of Illinois and
such famous orators as Hill, Russell,
Waller and White had scored their
triumphs and added new leaves to their
laurel wreaths. But, when compared
to the impassioned oratory of the
"Blaok Eagle of Nebraska" newly
named "The Silver Knight of the
West" their efforts were tame.
A reputation as an orator may prove
either an advantage or handicap to
its possessor. From such a man the
listener expects much. Woe is in store
for such an orator if his efforts fail to
meet the sanguine expectations of the
auditor, and triumph is sure if he
reaches the heralded heights which
have been promised
Bryan has established areputation as
an orator in the scattered hamlets on
the Nebraska plains, and it waited him
into congress. In one term he set q
new mark for congressionional elo-
quence. Today he set another new
mark.
Tillman used bludgeon, Bryan a
cimeter, Tillman clustered, roared and
ragged with a rasping voice and was
Missed Bryan enunciated senti-
ments even more radical, but with a
voice, presence and an eloquence
which commanded applause from those
who disagreed with him and voted
against his cause
There was some applause when Mr..
Bryan took the platform, but it did not
equal in favor the reception accorded
Senator Hill. Senator Hill was given
storm of applause before he spoke
and Bryan a cyclone of enthusiasm
when he had concluded. The audience
had not yet got the taste of Tillman
out of its mouth, and regarded the
Nebraska orator with some suspicion.
It must be understood that the great
majority Of the audience secured adj
mission at the hands of the gold stand
ard minority, and was not in conso-
nance with the sentiments uttered by
Mr.. Bryan. This made his triumph all
the more complete.

From the Providence Telegram.
Prof. Hinton of Princeton University has

In the training Of the base ball team. The
invention consists Of an iron barrel with a
bore the circumference Of base ball and
an ingenius apparatus by means of which
a base ball may be discharged every twen-
ty seconds.
Prof. Hinton, accompanied by Can't
Bradley and Pitcher Altman, gave the in
vention trial last Saturday. Several balls
were fired by the dummy" but were too
speedy for flesh and blood players.
After slight modification, 1t was tried
again, and more than fulfilled expectations.
Ten straight balls were thrown by the ma
adjustment was added which caused the
ball to curve before striking the backston.
Prof Hinton intends to perfect the arti-
hcial pitcher to high degree, and is conf
gent OF being able to regulate the speed,
direction and curves of the balls thrown
with the greatest precision. He Is interest

ent Invention was begun in connection with
his scientific work.
The machine will facilitate hatttne nrao
