students towards Bryan They have said

the subject from their mighty minds. If
the person Of a vice-presdential candi-
date should have commanded more re-
spect from a lot of Richmond hoboes, "a
fortiori," the person Of a presidential
candidate should have surely command
ID the respect Of a company Of educated
and "high-toned' young men. But 1t was
not so. Bryan was treated ever so
much worse at New Haven than
O'Ferral and Buckner were at Richmond,
and was finally forced TO desist
from speaking. This. however, was only
one incident OF his trip North. Read the

BI,fETALLIsM's POPULARITY.

On the line between the United States
and the Dominion OF Canada there are
foolish people who. instead OF seeking TO
provide one currency for both countries
try to divide the rest OF the people OF that
country into opposing monetary factions.
These disturbers of financial peace at
tempt to discredit the money or currency
of tho United States. and to levy tax In
some form upon Canadian currency COM
ing into this country. That is to say
they would, instead of having free trade
in money between Canada and the United
States, levy a tax in some form upon our
currency. We are glad that this move
ment developed in time to cut It's own
throat. The Canadians need free trade
with US. whether in money or commodl-
ties, as much as we need free trade with
them. We have for some time feared
this movement, but we fear 1t no longer
The policy which the Canadians them
selves have pursued has satisfied us that
the people Of tho Dominion will not suf-
fer themselves to be led astray by money
mongers, but Will at any proper time be

A Chicago telegram In the papers OF tho

tional Committee regards the letter or
Prince Bismarck favoring bimetallism as
| a step towards international agreement
| and the cablegram sent to Mr.. Bryan by
| the International Agricultural Congress
at Budapest as making the first genuine
political sensation of the campaign In
favor Of free-sllver coinage.
We quote as follows from the same tele-
gram:
members of the committee at Chicago
headquarters said yesterday that these
| documents silenced the platform and as
sertions OF the Republicans on the point
that the United States alone could not
change the monetary system or the
world and that the present agitation
would be detrimental TO international d.

"The committee decides TO have these

LIGHT ON CHOLERA.

II is said that the experience OF the
Apglo-Egyptian Nile expedition with the
cholera sheds important light upon the
causes of that disease and the best
method of combating it. When the

who had had long experience III

Of the camps, and. with his assistants
worked on the theory that the cholera
germ was definite thing. taken into
the system in a definite way, and having
a definite period Of incubation, and that
the treatment must, 20 be successful, be
definite and precise.
No quarantine was established, as
that would have been impracticable; Out
whenever the cholera broke out at
point Gallwey Bey would say: 1--WE ought
TO be ashamed of ourselves If we cannot
stamp it out in ten days." and would
Immediately resort to isolation. disinfec-
ton. and sanitation. In nearly every
case he did succeed in vanquishing the
disease within the prescribed time, al
though in Instances he had TO Contend
with the disposition Of the troops TO drink
the germ-laden waters of the Nile,
and at Wady Halfa he had to deal
with civilian population that were
grossly ignorant and supersttious, and
very filthy in their habits.

THE EFFECT.

The Campaign, a Republican paper
published in Richmond. finds Governor
OFerralPs recent declaration that he
would not vote for Bryan very graft
flying TO all the people who recognize the
potency Of his example and influence in
crushing out this threatened disaster"
We cannot speak with exactness as to
the potency Of his influence. but We will
venture to say that. except by Republican
votes. he could not be elected to-day to
any Office in Virginia. no matter how
humble 1t might be. II the Campaign
had read the comments of the Demo-
cratic press Of Virginia on the Cover
nor's boiling. it would not count much
ON the effect Of that bolt In prospecting
the cause Of Mckinley in the State. 1t
thinks that the Governor has acted
through "a patriotic sense OF duty" 1t
Is very remarkable that though in public
life for q quarter Of century. no Re-
publican paper ever. discovered that he
was actuated by 70 patriotic sense OF
