Death of a Little Child.

j. A. Mckee, the State street news
dealer, has met with sad bereavement
in the death of his little daughter, Kit
tie, who died at her home, 4S9 State
street, Wednesday evening after a two
days illness. The cause of her death
was spinal meningitis, which was
brought on by a fall. All that the best
medical skill could do was unavailing
to save the little ones life. She was a
very bright and amiable child, who in
terested all by her pretty ways and in
telligence, though only three years Of
age. The remains will be taken to-day
to Harrisburg, Pa, Mr.. McKee's old
home, for interment.

Madrid, jan ia dispatch from Ha-

all means of communication with the
interior, except by the short railroad
from Havana to Marianas. The tele-
graph wires are all cut and the railway

official communication with the outly-

cipal insurgent leaders are said to be
going westward accompanying conveys
of arms and ammunition.

Hundreds of Soft Shell crahs

Hundreds of dozens of soft shell crabs
have been picked up on the beach at
Fenwick within the past few days. Old
fishermen say they never knew of a. like
occurrence and the only explanation
they can give is that the heavy winds
recently have stirred up the depths of
the sound and torn the crabs from the
bottom. Then the strong undertow
has whirled them shoreward and the
tremendous surf has thrown them up
on the beach.
Many of the crabs We're so badly brok-
en- by the force of the waves as to be
useless, but one or two barrels of them
were secured and shipped to New York,
where they sold at seventy-five cents
per dozen.

What isyour opinion of the outlook?"
, Everything depends in the manner
In which IL is waged. To my mind there
Is but one test of prosperity which can
be applied To a country. and that is the
rate of wages paid TO labor. There can
be no distress where the rate OF wages
Is high. 1t can easily be demonstrated
that this whole free silver movement is
a conspiracy against wages, and If the
campaign is fought on this line have nc
doubt that every northern state-that is
to say, every state in the union I'm which
II is practicable TO hold free election
will be carried by the intelligence and
morality OF the American people against
the monstrous propositions submitted to
them by the convention which nom
mated Mr.. Bryan for the presidency"

he thinks the defeat of the Chicago can

ing OF the situation he said:
Il regard 1t as the gravest in the his
tory OF the country. exceeding in i'm
portance the crisis OF 1860. The secession
movement was but an attempt 20 divide
this country between two governments,
each Of them designed to protect prop
erty within the limits OF its jurisdiction.
The movement launched at Chicago is
an attempt to paralyze industry by using
all the powers of government to take
property from the hands OF those who
create 1t. and place 1t in the hands Of
those who covet II. This is "A question
of morals, as well as OF politics. No po-
litical convention can issue a valid
license TO commit offenses against
morality. and i decline to follow Mr..
Bryan in a crusade against honesty and
the rights Of labor"

AN ALLEGED BARGAIN
Which Populist Peek Wants the Demo-
cratic Party To Adhere To.

cratic Party to Adhere To.
Atlanta Aug. 3.-Hon. w. L. Peek, who
ran for governor on the Populist ticket
In 1892. and headed the Georgia delega-
ton at st. Louis, makes significant
signed statement in the Atlanta Journal:
1T was understood with the DEM
ocrats that IL the Populists would nomi-
nate Mr.. Bryan for president and
southern Populist for vice president,
that Mr.. Sewaii would retire from the
race; or in other words, that he, Mr..
Sewall. would be taken down, and that
our candidate for vice president should
be placed on the ticket with Mr.. Bryan.
With this understanding Mr.. Watson
was unanimously nominated. Every
state in the Union supported him. ex-
cept South Carolina, which was not rep
resented. This was the broad ground on
which the Democrats and Populists met.
Having been deceived by promises, we
made it certainty on our part, and re-
versed the order Of business and nomi-
mated the vice president first
Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional Democratic committee, was there,
together with many prominent DEM
ocrats from different parts of the United
States, urging this course for the sue
cess OF financial reform We did not en-
dorse Mr.. Bryan, but made our platform,
and nominated him then for president
by over two-thirds vote. Mr., Watson's
nomination was greeted with as long and
loud outbursts Of enthusiasm as was Mr..
Bryan's. and beg To say now that there
is but one course to pursue. if good faith
is to govern this union of silver forces.
viz:
Watson electors must be put up by
the Democratic party from Maine to
California. 1t would be n lack OF fidelity
TO ask or do otherwise. in the south. yea,
In Georgia, IL would be an objectionable
sin and unfaithfulness on the part OF the
Democratic party, and the people will
hold them responsible for the result
