Bryan's visit here was far from satisfae-
tory to Bryanites. Democrats are now
off the fence and are either for Mckinley
or Palmer. One Democrat said he be-
lieved Bryan's speech cost the Democrat
ic ticket two hundred votes. Two things
contribute to this, disappointment over
Bryan himself, and the general text OF
his speech, which was in the line of ar
raging the w~orkingmen against their en-
ployers, especially ~railroaders, and this is
resented.

The Now p~opoeratic Chairman.

Colonel Prices ..nolo episcopari9 takes
the form of an expression OF establishment
thar the Popoeratic State Committee
should select him for its chairman. The
astonashment will be shared by everyone
else who has kept track Of Colonel Prices
career.
He is a diseredited hack politician and
~oficeholder Of the ex-Pienie Joe regime
in Newark. Heswas up to the eyes in all
the di~sereditable doings that led to the
downfall OF the Democracy in his State.
He was one of the engineers of the das-
tardly conspiracy which made Jim Smith
United States Senator in place Of Leon
Albeit.
II is true he is a very loud shouter for
silver now. though we have no idea that
he believes in it, for he is not wholly
without brains; but his silver worship is
mot sufficient 10 account for his being put
at the head Of the State campaign. Prob
ably the real reason is that he is just Jim
Smith in disguise. The Senator is trying
to stand in with the gold men by an os-
tensible resignation. while he keeps his
grip on the machine through his facile
henchman.
THE Boy Orator and the College Boys
The Boy orator ran up against a boy
audience yesterday afternoon, The result
was the sort of chaos that might well be
expected.
The Boy fractured the facts of history.
the rules Of logic and the conclusions of
economic science with reckless abandon
The other boys played ducks and brakes
with the laws Of politeness and the right
of every man to make a fool of himself
in public. OF course, the silverite papers
are in paroxysms this morning over the
outrage. They pretend 10 deduce from ii
that the gold cause is in sore straits when
its advocates resort to such tactics.
Really, it was too bad to treat him so;
hut boys will be boys. and when they get
fazing each other, ~horseplay cannot be
avoided. The MY wonder is that the Yale
lads seuse of the fitness of things stopped
short Of rotten eggs.

Silver Men Notify Bryan.

The continuous welcome which the
people of Lincoln and large contingents
from other parts of Nebraska gave
William ]. Bryan on his home coming
eliminated in a grand demonstration
in honor Of his formal notification of
his nomination for the presidency by
the national silver party. Mr.. and Mrs.
| Bcyan, George A. Groot, chairman CT
the notification committee, and Norris
Humphrey, of Lincoln, rode together
in the midst of the night parade. Men
in white duck uniforms, carrying fam
beauX, formed n picturesque part Of
the parade. Nearly, if not quite, 1000
mounted men were in line, and these,
with the silver-capped organization de-
voted to the free coinage cause, fired off
skyrockets and roman candles as they
proceeded. With the arrival of the
torchlight procession the crowd gath
cred about the capitol was increased
tenfold. Norris Humphrey presided at
the meeting and introduced George A.
GroOt. of Ohio, chairman of the nOtiti-
cation committee, who spoke. Mr.. Bry-
an was then presented and made n
short speech. He said in part:
1 beg to reply at this time without the
formality of letter. The platform adopt
ed by the silver party contains but one
plank, and that plank-the plank upon
the silver question-is identical in sub
stance with the silver plank of the Chi
cago platform. AS | have already dis
cussed that plank at length, it will not
be necessary to enter into any extended
discussion at this time. l beg to answer
the committee that l accept the nomina-
ton rendered by them on behalf of the
silver party in the spirit in which that
nomination was presented.
l can appreciate the feeling which ami
mated those who assembled in that con-
vention. l can appreciate the hesitation
with which those assembled there turned
their backs upon the party with which
they had been associated. l know some
thing of the strength of party ties, and
because l was in a position where look
ed forward to possibility of like action
on my part / can appreciate the depths of
n conviction that led them to place the
interests of their country above the well
fare of their party.
My convictions upon this subject are
not shallow convictions. / may be in
errOr-none of US can claim infallibility-
but l believe that the gold standard is n
conspiracy against the human race. /
would no sooner join the ranks of those
whose purpose it is to fasten that upon the
American people than to enlist in an army
that was marching to attack my home and

l can appreciate the spirit which ami
mated those who have just rendered me
this second nomination. l pledge them
that if elected they shall never have
cause to accuse me of being false to that

Maine Pays n Bounty on Seals.

Maine paid bounties on 1862 seals
and on $50 bears in 1895. In 1894
only 3S5 seals and $50 bears were
killed. The increase of seal killing is
due to 50-cent increase of the boun-
ty, making it 81. The bears have
been thinned out by extensive killing.
Why there should be bounty on seals
is plain enough to those who know
that in single year seal consumes
$3.50 pounds of fish, which would
make 6,066.300 pounds saved by the
killing of 1.662 seals in 1895. Most
of the fish eaten are coarse grained,
such as are used in batting lobster
pots -sculpins, founders, tomcods, etc.
but not a few valuable fish, like
herring, salmon and mackerel, are
killed by these animals. Much diff
Guilty is experienced by seal hunters in
securing all of the animals killed.
Many badly wounded ones escape, and
probably more than 1000 seals were
killed during 1895.
No one knows exactly why bounties
are paid on black bears. They are
harmless animals, according to compe-
tent observers, feeding on beechnuts,
wild fruits of various kinds, on carrion
and roots of plants, seldom if ever mo-
testing farmers in any way. Maine
pays SIS and New York SO a head for
killing these good nature1 creatures.

Effect of Good Housing Upon Poor.

Lord Shaftsbury, who practically i'll
terested himself for more than sixty
years in improving the homes OF the
masses, said time and again that many
of the people who were il filthy and
deplorable condition had been made so
by their surroundings, and that where
their homes had been improved, they
had been rescued from such conditions.
Human nature is initiative; the force
of good example is catching. Lack of
opportunity to lead a more civilized ex-
istence, not the inclination to remain
as they are, largely explains the situa-
ton of the poorer elements amongst
city dwellers. Sir Sidney Waterlow
cites the punctuallty with which the
rents are paid to his corporation as evil
dence that people having good rooms
are anxious to keep them. He believes
that there is a growing desire for COM
