The French Fourth Of July.

Do you know anything about the
French Fourth Of July? 1t IL on the 14th,
and the French people celebrate their in
dependence day, for 1t was on that day
1O3 Years ago that the old Bastilc, where
all the political prisoners were kept, was
torn down by the indignant people. Tho
day In the city Of Paris IL very bright
and lively one, indeed. No carriages,
stages or vehicles of any kind are allowed
In the streets In the evening. and the ave-
nues are lighted by thousands Of gas jets,
which are arranged In bands and strings,
like the strands of diamond necklace.
At each square platforms, decorated with
blue, white and red (the French colors)
draperies, are erected, and here bands OF
musicians are installed, and they play
for the merry dancers until late into the
might. The palace Of the Trocadcro,
which stands on great hill overlooking
the Seine, is ablaze with light and color,
and directly opposite, on the other side OF
the river, Is the great Eifel tower, the
tallest Structure In the world. The re,
volving light In the dome sheds beautiful
rays Of color-blue, white and red-ovei

Refusing TO pay the taxation imposed up

Albany, N. Y, September 11.-Mr. j.
7. Mider of Kankakee, Illinois, seems to
have received an impression that Oh .ao.
count of candidate VIM. J. B7yan's visit
co Governor Morton's country home at
Ellerslie, that Governor Morton was
leaning toward the side of silver, and
wrote to the governor letter entreating
him 10 come out on the silver side. which
has elieited a reply from Gov. Morton,
in which he says: 81 was not ut Ellerslie
uu that occasion but was, and had been
for some time, in the Adirondacks, and
only learned of Mr.. Bryan's visit to my
farm through the newspapers. I presume
it is unnecessary for me- to say that any
visitor to Ellerslie would be treated with
all due respect and courtesy, but should
be 10th to nave 1t believed or uestioned
that any oourtesies shown to Mr.. Bryan
at Ellerslie indicated in the remetest de-
gree that were in accord or sympathy
with the principles or platform of the
late Chicago convention or candidate.

DIED DISCOURAGED.
Suicide of an Unhappy Woman In Augusta
Yesterday.

Augusta, September 1.-THE dead
body of Mrs. Alice Simpson was found
at the mouth of sewer at the foot of
the town landing in the river at IL
O'Clock Eriday. She undoubtedly COM
mitted suicide, as she has been despond-
ent for some time. Her husband left
her for parts unknown several years ago,
and recently she took trip West to re-
cover something from an estate of her
father who left some $40, 600. but was un-
sucoossaful. She came home and has
been detected since.
Mrs. Simpson visited DOCTORS office
Thursday night and such was her con-
dition that the physician told his family
that he had fears she would kill herself.
Her father and mother separated long
ago and the former had second wife.
Mrs. Simpson was highly respectable
lady and had peen a resident of Au-
guata for many years. When found she
was attired in deep mourning.

THE SILVER BELT SAFE.
Significant Utterances Concerning situ-
alton the Extreme West.

Boston, September IA special de-
sparch to the Journal says: There has
boon no more significant utterance during
the campaign than the one made by SEN
ator Ga rter of Montana, former chair
man Of the National Republican commit
tee, who hns been In Washington today
in consultation with Chairman Baboook
Of the Congressional committee.
The Montana Senator declares with the
utmost emphasis that the fight for Nc
Kinley is already won, and the signiti-
canoe of the d eclaration lies not so much
in Its substance as in the fact that Mr..
Carter feels free to make it. 1t is his
first outspOken announcement since the
st. Louis convention and the only init.
nation that he has given of his intention
to support the regular nominees. Senator
Carter was one Of the FIVE Repub blioan
Senators who voted to refuse considera-
tion to tie Dingley revenue bill. and his
political future is supposed to be wrapped
up in the cause of free silver. Since the
convention he has been out in Montana,
which is little more than gigantic
silver mine, and be is 80 confident Of Re-
publican success that ne ventures to come
East and place himself irrsvooably on
record as predicting it.
be declares not only that Mckinley
Will be elected, but that Montana, in
spite of it's apparent interests in the op-
posite direction is doubtful state, that
Wyoming will surely be Republican,. that
Washington is good fighting ground, and
that California and Oregon may be
counted safely for the sound money can-
didate.
I'm short, the great block of states west
Of tho Miccor,ri xuhiah hoo
been counting with entire confidence, are
more likely than not to throw majority
OF their electoral votes for Bryan's COM
petitor. Senator Carter's information
corresponds with that of Vice Chairman
Apsley and Congressman Mccall. who
predict a Republican sweep on the
Pacific coast. 1t is also in line with that
OF another observer who has been travel
Ing through that section Of the country.
Tracey L. Jefferds, assistant United
States attorney forEthe district, has just
returned from trip covering twenty two
states. He found free silver people in
Colorado so carried away with their en-
thusiasm as to count on carrying New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan,
Illinois and Ohio for Bryan. But in
other states In the so-oalled silver belt
there was another story. Wyoming
seemed to be for sound money, and only
the West part Of the state Is inclined
much toward free silver. Oregon and
California also seem to be favorable to
Mckinley.
'At several lumber camps, which /
visited" said Mr.. Jefferds, "where from
two to five or six hundred men were en-
ployed, both In Northern California aud
the eastern part of the state on the
Sierras, the alomst universal feeling was
for sound money. The fruit growers and
cattle mon Of California are for sound
money, and in little talk with the
sheriff of San Diego county, and the
cattle king Of San Bernardino, who has
hitherto been Democrat, learned that
they were for sound money. There is
also much the same kind of feeling sin
Washington.

q Mr.. Hanna said, ''Mr. Mckinley is
not going to take che stump. The Demo-
Gratis would undoubtedly like very much
to see him chasing over the country in a
wild scramble for votes as Mr.. Bryan
has insisted upon doing. Mr.. Mckinley
will continue to conduct himself as a
man who appreciates the dignity and
importance of the position he seeks.
He will not lend himself to any CATCH
penny scheme for the sake of satisfy ing
the curious nor making himself talked
about. I have heard this subject dis
oussed and think know what l am
talking about when I say that Mr.. Nc
Kinley will continue to address the peo-
pie who visit him at Canton."
