Madame Sans Gene suffered at the

all-embracing blight of politics, and second,
on account of a lack OF exact knowledge on
the part of theater-goers as to the character

obstacles may be removed against it's second

Though single standard drmocrat
Judge r. M. Otter, of Hillsboro, o.,
comes boldly out and states that free
coinage has swept everything before it
in Ohio. Unless a most decided change
occurs between now and the first of No
vember, the Buckeye state will go over
whelmingly democratic.
While stopping in Washington city
few days ago. Judge Otter was asked
about the democratic situation in the
Buckeye state. Said he:
Many waves of sentiment have swept
over Ohio, but [ have never seen any
thing like the present. In the country
districts the silver sentiment is intense
Every man you see is loaded with argu
ments, and there is no use trying to
talk with him.
The silver men have been reading
everything they could get hold of on
their side of the question until they can
outtalk Harvey 1t has become a sort
of religion with them, and they will
not listen to nor tolerate opposition.
You can't make an impression on them
any more than you can argue a man
out of his religious faith. The thing
has spread so that I regard the result
in the state as doubtful, perhaps with
the probability favorable to Bryan.
At all events, it is by no means GER
tain that Mckinley can carry the state.
The normal republican majority is
about $4,000. That is the safe, natural
republican majority. There are about
so, 900 populist votes and 90, 900 prohi-
bition votes. Bryan will probably get
50, 900 populist votes and 5000 prohi-
bitton that is, he will get the silver vote
Of these two parties.
In the cities there will be consider
able gold democratic vote for McKin-
ley in the country districts there will
be a large silver republican vote for
Bryan. These may pretty nearly offset
each other, though it looks as if Bryan
would get more republican votes in the
country than he will lose democrats in
the cities.
There is hardly anything but silver
now talked Of throughout the state.

The Nevada Senator Scores the Philadelphia
Bishop for His Utterances

Washington, Aug. 6.--The following
caustic letter has been addressed by
Senator Stewart, of Nevada. to Bishop
Newman, who recently gave vent to a
savage attack on the national democrat
ic ticket and platform:
Washington, Aug. 9, 1906.
Bishop John p. Newman, Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir-I am panied to see in the
public press a statement to the effect
that you have Joined the enemies Of
your countay to oppose and rob the
great mass of your fellow citizens.
If the published quotations from your
speech are correct, you have Endorsed
the clandestine legislation of 1878.
whereby one half of the metallic money
of the world was destroyed and the
value of the other half doubled. You
have also Endorsed the schemes of the
money powers of London and New York
to control the gold of the world, adj
vance its purchasing power, reduce
the value of property and services, and
thereby build up moneyed oligarchy
on the ruins Of the republic.
There is no excuse for man of your
intelligence to advocate the gold stan
dard. You know that the purchasing
power of gold has been advanced by
fraudulent legislation and wicked ma
nipulation fully 100 per cent. that the
rich have been made richer and the
poor poorer that the government OF
the United States is fast becoming q
government of plutocracy, In former
days you mourned over the practices
by which the earnings of the masses
were transferred to a few. Now you
even 60 so far as to advocate the cleo
ton of William Mckinley, who in
dorses the policy of Grover Cleveland
of John Sherman, of Pierpont Morgan
and Of the agents of the Rothschild'
on both sides of the Atlantic. Do yor
know that William Mckinley, or rath
er Mr.. Hanna, who controls the actor
Mr.. Mckinley, contends that the Unit
ed States has no power ''to coin money
and regulate the value thereof" al
though the Constitution expressly con
fers such power
: thank you that you have told thu
, people your evil purposes. This may
have been indiscreet on your part, bu
l assure you that it will put honest mel
on guard against the wicked work yol
propose, and perhaps your evil boast
/ ing may prove boomerang and bene
fit to the cause of honest money ant

Senator Jones and the World.

There seems to be little doubt that
Senator Jones has been either deliber-
ately misrepresented or dishonorably
betrayed by the New York World. If
he really said what the World of Mon
day morning reports him as having said
he spoke not tor publication, but in
confidence. For our part we believe
that the World not only violated conf
dence, but grossly exaggerated and
distorted things at the same time. This
is the Worlds habitual and characteris-
tic practice. We are astounded that
Senator Jones, frank and outspoken
though he be, should have talked to
such a newspaper upon any terms.
The mischief, however, has been
done, The New York World, having
first procured, either by falsehood or
by treachery, the injurious msterial
for publication, is now exhausting its
powers in the dissemination and
reiteration and manipulation of the
villainy, 1t has its reporters and cor
respondents everywhere, interviewing
all who may be ignorant OF credulous
or malignant enough to aid in its evil
work. Although Senator Jones has
emphatically denied that he ever un-
dertook to speak for Mr.. Bryan on any
subject whatsoever although he has
specifically denied having denounced
the southern populists as dishonest
and degraded spoilsmen although
Senator Jones is known, by all who
have had the privilege of his acquaint-
ance, as truthful, upright, honorable
and conscientious gentleman, the World
persists in its vile activity and CON
tinues in the employment of every
knavish expedient and device to fix
upon him stigma it has itself invented
and conceived. The country will have
to choose between Senator Jones, who
has never been suspected of lie, and
the New York World, which has never
been discovered in the truth.
Meanwhile we have not the slightest
doubt that Senator Jones is in Mr..
Bryan's confidence. We fully believe
he knows that Mr.. Bryan will not sub
scribe to the populist platform. We
can imagine that in private converse.
ton he may have said as much-why
shouldn't he? There are many and
obvious reasons why the democratic
nominee can not entertain the populis+
proposition, and not single reason tC
the contrary. To stand upon the plat
form of the party that has honoret
him is the manly, the honorable, the
consistent course. To do otherwise
would be both foolish and dishonest
One needs no information from Senator
Jones to recognize these facts, nor, il
having pointed to them in the conf
dence of private talk, has Senator Jones
violated the very smallest rule O.
propriety. Mr.. Bryan could not in
dorse the populist platform without re
pudiating the democratic. He coult
not accept Watson as his running mat,
without deserting and betraying Sewall
From Senator Jones down every IA
tional human being must realize this
and yet out of this the New York Worlc
has fabricated its wicked scandal, put
ting Senator Jones in the position 0

gifted with oratorical powers OF nigh
order, Bryan lacks both depth and
breadth. He is a pOpularizer OF other
mems ideas rather than an original
thinker, and has a catchy way OF pre-
senting his subjects to an audience. he
is a cOnSummate actor, whose forte lies
in appeals to sentiment and emotion
rather than in argument and sound
reasoning. He is a born agitator, who
never hesitates to employ the weapons
of the demagog to make a point. Bry-
ans most vulnerable point is his lack
of moral stamina and utter indifference
to the maintenance of public integrity.
While so far as know his private char
acter is unimpeachable, he has never
raised his voice or used his pen in de-
nunciation of fragrant abuses of public
office or betrayal of public trust; but,
on the contrary, has permitted the pa
per of which he is ostensibly the re-
sponsible editor to gloss over and de-
fend embezzlementS in public office,
gross official negligence and corrupt
collision with public plunderers, even
where the offenders were foisted into
office as Republicans.
From the professional standpoint Mr..
BRYAN may be considered a dismal fail
his 10Sdl pIdCI1CS has AAONOA Gill
ounted to anything worth mentioning.
His venture in the newspaper business
has not been regarded as serious in
these parts. While he has been nominal
owner of the Omaha WOrld-Herald
since September 1, 1894, he has in re-
ality been a mere journalistic figure
head. His name has been paraded al
the head of the weekly edition to draw
free silver delusionists. but was soon
taken out of the daily and has not been
replaced Instead OF devoting time tC
the paper, he has been travelling about
the country five weeks out of six as the
paid champion of the Bimetallic League
AS a politician Bryan has displayed
no organizing ability. He is a gooo
stump speaker and an effective cam
paigner. but that is all. If he has any
executive capacity it has not yet man
| ifested itself. He has never held any
executive position and has never haC
an opportunity TO exercise any faculty
he may possess in that direction. The
| best business men of Omaha, regardless;
of party, look upon him as a man O.
immature judgment, who would consti
tute an extra hazardous risk as head O

\ LATE ARRIVAL.
Miss Cahin Climbs Up the Side of
the Alameda.

The Alameda was just drawing away
from the Oceanic wharf yesterday at
ternoon when Miss Anna Cahill, the
Hotel street milliner, came rushing
along through the crowd of spectators
and out to the edge.
She had made up her mind about a
half hour before the departure of the
steamer that she would go to the States
for five or six weeks trip after new
goods with which to stock her estab-
Iishment, this delay being due to the
fact that she could not procure any one
to take her place until the very last
moment.
Miss Cahin did not ponder long when
she got to the edge of the wharf, but
Jumped into shore boat and was rowed
out to the steamer, baggage and all.
Arriving alongside, she climbed up
the side like a sailor and was received
aboard with shouts of joy by her friends
who were leaving for San Francisco.

rived on one OF the first ships at Lyttle-
ton, where he started and edited for
| two wears the Lyttleton Times, acting

! immigration agent. In 1858 he was
| chosen first superintendent of Canter-
bury. and held the office until 1857. He
