MIR. BRYAN AND HIS CROWDS.

Republican papers have been fond of
claiming that the immense crowds
which turn out to Mr.. Bryan's meet
| inos do so more out of curiosity than
ANYTHING else. They will have to in
vent some other sort of story now. Mr..
BRYAN has been in New York three
times since his nomination, and has
spoken in New York twice. On each
occasion more people toni to hear
him than could get within sight of the
Speakers stand, and on his last visit
they were as anxious to get sight of
him and hear his voice as they were at
the time of his notification in the Mad
ison Square Garden.
New York people may ego crazy
for a little while over a freak, but they
do not stay crazy long. They quickly
drop the freak, and look for something
else to amuse them. But they "know
a good thing" when they see it. They
admire man of ideas and ability, and
like to see, hear and honor him. They
have found Mr.. Bryan to be man of
that class. They have learned that he
has something instructive to impart to
them, and that he can impart it in a
pleasing manner. They are, therefore,
anxious to hear him whenever they can
get an opportunity to do so.
Mr.. Bryan has accepted the nominal
ton of the populist national con-
yentiOn in letter in which he thanks
that party for their confidence in him
and its fight for free silver. He said
n part:
'"The nomination of the peoples par
ty for the presidency of the United
States has been rendered me in such
generous spirit and upon such honora-
BILE terms that | am able to accept the
same without departing from the
platform adopted by the national con-
ventiOn at Chicago.
II fully appreciate the breadth of
the patriotism which has actuated the
members of the peoples party, who,
in order to consolidate the sentiment
in favor of bimeUallism, have been
willing to go outside of party lines
and support, as their candidate, one
already named by the democratic party
and also by the silver party"

The Waltz In Africa.

The dancers seen at Kambuidi's were
Bisa and Luangeni. There were four
drummers and one old man with rattles,
who gave very picturesque perform
ance. The drummers had small, barrel
shaped drums, with frightened skin at
either end The drums were suspended
by rope from the left shoulder. The
dummers played to any crude, unframed
songs in splendid time, and while play
ing and singing danced about most
gracefully, some steps resembling close
~ the waltz. ALI wore long loin cloths
of bark, reaching from the waist almost
to the ground They were wonderfully
active, dancing and singing vigorously,
whirling round on one leg and squirting
the ground with the other foot. They
sang, drummed and danced in perfect
time. The old man had two rattles,
each composed of five small, round,
dried wild fruits with noisy, rattling
seeds. These were threaded en- brochette
ON thin sticks, one Of which the old man
held in each hand and kept time with
the others, besides doing his share OF
the dancing. From the Journals of the
Late E. J. Glave in Century.

The Next President.

The editor of The Jersey Jamjar, with
that superior wisdom of which every
editor is possessed, stood on the curb
stone in front of his palatial Office, let
ting the cool air permeate the aforesaid
wisdom, when the local photographer
passed by with his camera, going to-
ward the railroad station.
"Ah, there" saluted the editor.
whence goest?"
~ co." returned the photographer,
"to take picture of the next president
of the United States.
"Of course it will be picture of the
man you want elected" said the editor,
who was opposed politically to the pho
tographer.
mo, sir. 1t will be picture of the
next president. y
The editor was getting rather wrought
up.
Twill you guarantee it?" he asked.
"I'll put up my check for $500 that
it will be the correct picture, respond
ed the photographer.
The editor scratched his dome OF
thought.
"I'm not very fush," he said, "but
I'll give you on that guarantee 5000 for
a cut of the picture to print in my pa
per-"
1t looked like cinch for the editor,
and seven men told the photographer he
was a plumb idiot, but he drew up q
contract for the editor to sign binding
him to pay 5000 for the cut, the photog,
rapher guaranteeing it to be correct.
Then he started on for the train.
"Get that cut back here in time fol
Sundays paper" called the editor.
Guess not" responded the photog,
rapher. "There's nothing in this con-
tract about when 1 am to take the pic
ture. can't take it until after election,
of course, under my guarantee, and you
ought to know it. :"
Then the scrap began, and at last &C
counts all of that end of New Jersey
was taking sides.-New York Sun.

SEWALL ALSO EXACTS GOLD
CONTRACTS.

Viewing the present campaign, il
occurs to me it would not be amiss
to ventilate, for the benefit of the
masses, some of the practices obServ-
ed by some of the leading advocates
of the free coinage of silver. Mans
convictions are best measured by his
actions. We have already heard from
Mr.. Altgeld and his gold leases, and
it would now be interesting to learn
something about the private contracts
of some other of the prominent silver
ties. Mr.. Sewall, the Democratic
candidate for the vice presidency,
seems equally sagaciOuS and wise
1t is most noteworthy that, although
he advocates free silver, gold is made
the basis for the payment of freight
monies due his vessels. His big
ship SuSQuehanna, chartered TO the
Standard Oil company, and now load
ing a cargo of case oil at this port for
Japan, has the following clause in her
contract of affreightment:
The party Of the second part agrees
to pay to the said party of the first
part or agent, for the use of said YES
sci during the voyage aforesaid
cents, United States gold, on each and
every case delivered"
This requires no further comment,
as Mr.. Sewall's convictions must be
from the above. 1t would,
however. be interesting to learn of
the divine power with aid of which
he proposes to reach the millennium
under a free silver coinage law.

A GORDON BIZ.
How the Title Was First Given to a Fine
Cook.

How the Title Was First Given to a Fine
Cook.
Although the late Due de Nemours
had no pretensions to being an epicure,
he was the last Gordon bleu" in
France. We mean by this that he was
the last survivor Of the Chevaliers de
st. Esprit. He was also of the last
creation, that of 1929, when there were
only two knights made, the Due de Ne
mours and the Count de Lecce. The
Order of the st. Esprit was created
in 1857, was suppressed by the revolu-
ton and was revived by Louis XVIII in
1914. To speak rightly, Louis XVIII
considered that the order had never
ceased to exist, for he had given two
collars during his exile, in 1910, the
one to Francis l, king of the two Sici-
lies, and the other to his brother, the
prince of Salerno, the father of his
brothers. wife, the Duchess d'Aumale.
The ribbon of this order was light
blue color. 1t was worn around the
neck in the reigns of Henry III and
Henry ~, but was changed by Louis
XIV, when it was worn across the chest.
The Chevaliers of the ST. Esprit were
always known under the name of Les
Gordon Bleu, and this was the supreme
honor during the monarchy of France
1t was from this that the title of "cor-
don bleu" was given to a first class
cook. A gentleman one day declared,
after a good meal, that he who had
cooked the dinner had proved himself a
Gordon bleu" among cooks-in other
words, the master of his art. The title
became quite the rage, and is now al
ways used to designate good cook with
out the persons who use it knowing
what it means or still less the origin OF
the title. Exchange

Bryan resembles Lincoln in his faith
in the common people," This IL q line
Of comparison that Bryan's friends
have made a mistake in suggesting.
Lincoln realized that In the long run
the mass Of the people are honest in
their inclinations and are not to be
mfsled for any great length Of time.
The common people know an honest
dollar from fraudulent dollar. They
know the difference between states
manship and will-o'-the-wispism. They
cannot be permanently blinded by
dazzling epigrams, or the picturesque
attractions Of youth and eloquence.
Common sense is the inalienable heri-
tage OF the common people.
