Deep is the gloom in the ranks Of the New De
mocracy over the result of their candidate
visit TO NcwYork Every candid man must
admit that Bryan is failure and sore disap-
polntmcnt. That he is aware Of 1t himself was
made evident yesterday by several circum-
stances. The reception which crowds were eX-
peced TO attend attracted only few people.
Mr.. Bryan expressed decided opposition to hav-
ing the National headquarters of the party III
New York, showing that he has had enough OF
the metropolis. Then, too, 1t was stated by Mr..
Sewall that The head of the ticket had aban-
doned his proposed visit TO Maine, ut least until
after the State election there. But Mr. Bryan
can be no moro disappointed in the East than
his friends in the East are in him. How much
better II would have been for his reputation If
he had remained in Lincoln and lived on the
fame OF the speech that won him his nomina-

SAD ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday while Mrs. VIM.
Berard was returning home. from
st. Martinville, in company OF
Miss Louise Gauthier, her sister,
Miss Aurelia Gauthier, of Jenn-
ings. her cousin and Mrs. Berard's
two young children, the horse got
scared of a bicycle rode by Mr..
Albert Durand, became unman-
ageable and ran away, upsettlng
the carriage. In the fall the oc-
cupants of the carriage were scat
tered in the thick dust along the
road, all escaped without much
injury, except Miss Aurelia Gau-
thier who was very painfully brui-
sed and wounded. She had a leg
severely wounded and her faced
bruised and deeply cut in several
places. She was picked up I'M
conscious and remained in that
condition for some time after the
accident.
Drs. Baylis and lilly were hu-
riedly summoned while the unfor-
tunately young lady was carried
to the house of Mr.. l.. G. Vautier,
in front of which place the acci.
dent occurred.
The wounds of the young lady
though not of a serious nature,
were SO painful that she could not
be removed to the house of her
cousin who she was visiting, un-
til three or four days after the &C.
cident.
How the other occupants esca.
ped without serious injury is q
mystery.
We are pleased to learn that
Miss Gauthier is improving IA.

The Half Hours Count.
Southern Farmer.

Southern Farmer.
A long experience with and a
considerable knowledge of the
Southern farmer would indicate
that he is not fairly chsrgeable
with anything like idleness, but
when he is compared with his
Northern brother, who is compell-
ed to rise early and breakfast by
lamplight and labor the whole day
long to secure a livelihood in his
less favorable ATTITUDES, it becomes
evident at once that in some way
the Southern farmer fails to avail
fully M-tnA advantages that his
soil and climate give him. In the
tropics, where all vegetable growth
is luxuriant, it is difficult at times
to secure any work from the la
Dor classes, a living being had 80
easily directly from natural pro-
ducts. This may hardly seem a
fair comparison in considering the
cultivators of the soil in the South
ern States, but after all there is
some truth in the inference that
our sunny climate and copious
rainfall enable the farmer to real
ize moderate crops with such ease
that there has never yet been the
urgent necessity that has taught
the people of Northern ATTITUDES
to utilize every available moment
of time in their chosen calling.
If six months of actual work be
sufficient to secure a reasonable
livelihood we find many of our
farmers who are content Herewith
and comparatively Indifferent as
to how the rest of the time. shall
be expended.

BICYCLE RIDING.

The accident of last Saturday,
caused by bicycle, shows clearly
that reckless riding on bicycle is
dangerous, and some means will
have to be adopted by the autho-
rites to guard against the fast ap-
proach of cyclists to horses and
carriages, unless some signal or
alarm is given so that persons
driving horses can be on their
guard.
Cyclists should never pass a
horse from behind unless an
alarm is given, and they should
always slack their speed in such
cases. There is already town
ordinance regulating the speed of
bicycle riding, and one compell-
ing riders to ring their bells and
reduce their speed on the ap-
proach OF street crossings which
is not strictly enforced. The Do
lice should give some of their at
tention to cyclists and ascertain if
they keep themselves within the
provision of the law.
Riding at night without light is
dangerous. and such practice
should be stopped. Each wheel
should be provided with lamp and
bell.
Some cyclists should be made
to use some Judgment when pass
ing or approaching horses which
they see are afraid of BICYCLES.

Money In The Campaign.

The coming presidential cam
paign is one in which an immense
amount of money will be spent to
influence the result, and if certain
reports be true both sides will be
we'll supplied with the sinews OF
political war. The Union League
Club of New York, a Republican
organization composed of the
wealthiest men in the metropolis
became possessed of information
to the effect that the silver forces
were thoroughly organized and
had unlimited funds at their dis
posal. The Union League Club,
as soon as the matter was reported,
decided to appoint q committee
for the purpose of raising money
to be placed in the hands of the
Republican executive committee
to be used in the campaign as the
committee thinks best. Among
the men in the financial committee
of the Union League Club are
such multi-millionsires as ]. Pier
pont Morgan, the great fnsncier;
John D. Rockefeller, the Standard
Oil king; Coils P. Huntington,
president of the Southern Pacific
Railroad; Mayor Strong, of New
York City; Cornelius N. Bliss, and
John 81. Starin. The committee
numbers $50 and it is estimated
that the aggregate wealth of the
men on it is not short of $500, OO0,-
600. Thus it will be seen that on
the Republican side at least there
will be enough money forthcom-
ing to make the campaign the live.
