Mr.. BRYAN AS A CAMPAIGNER.- Some
persons have been calculating the
number of miles Mr.. Bryan has trav-
eled in this campaign and the number
of persons he has addressed. 1t is
wonderful, but Major Mckinley, who
has stayed right at home, has, through
the newspapers, reached as many peo-
pie as has Mr.. Bryan in all his travels.
Possibly Mr. Bryan may break the
precedent, but the experience of peri
patetic presidential candidates is not
comforting. Douglas, Seymour, Gree
ley and Blaine travelled thousands of
miles to make speeches when they
wanted to be President, and not one of
them made anything by it. They
could not have done worse if they had
remained at home, and in all prob
ability Blaine would have done better,
for he would not have met Burchard.

SOUND MONEY CONGRESSMEN.

No citizen of Pennsylvania who val
ues the honor and integrity of the Re-
public should vote for any man for
Congress, no matter by what party
nominated, who is not in favor of
scrupulOusly maintaining a sound
financial policy. Most if not all the
great distress now felt in industrial
and business circles is the logical re-
suit OF the failure of the last two Con-
crosses of the United States to main
tain the honor and credit of the Re
public, and no personal or partisan
interest should for a moment make anv
sound money citizen forgetful of his
duty to vote only for candidates for
Congress who will maintain the honest
money standard that has been the
standard of the Republic since it was
founded.
Fortunately nearly all the Congress
sional districts of the State are abso-
lutely certain to return sound money
Congressman, and by very decided
majOrities.
The cheap money theory is not any
part of the Democratic faith. The
Democrats who support it are com
PEELED to turn from all the patriotic
actions, records and traditions of De-
mocracy from its organization under
Jefferson to Jackson and Cleveland. TO
support the reputation policy that
overwhelmed the Democracy at Chi
cago. Honest money has ever been
one of the cardinal features of Dem
cratic faith, and the Democrat who
votes for Republican Congressman
because he must do so to maintain
honest money, simply vindicates the
integrity of his Democracy and pre-
serves an honest foundation for it's
future reorganization. -PhjIadelDhia

The Kent County Teachers Institute.

The next Teachers Institute for
Kent county will be held November
18th to 21st, and Dover has been def
nitely fixed on as the location. The
location counties of the State in the
past has swung around from town to
town till in New Castle county it has
been pretty well settled that Middle
town is the best place for financial sup
port, while in Sussex, Milford is the
only place that a superintendent feels
warranted in going to with what is
now considered a good list of speakers
for the day sessions, together with
strong evening attractions. In Kent
county the sessions have of late been
fuctuating back and forth between
Dover and Smyrna, with not a little
prestige standing to the credit of the
latter. -Inder.

THROUGH FIELDS OF EGLANTINE. THE

ONE in our love, but two to live our lives;
Not hand in hand through fields OF eglantne
Our footsteps stray
Striving by rocky heights, by parted paths
We break our way,
One in our love. but two to live our lives.
Not hand in hand through fields of eglantine
TIL ends the day OF Toll then We compare
The heights attained,
With opened hearts confess each backward step,
Each vantage gained,
One in Onr love. but two to live our lives.
Onr footsteps stray sO:rarely in those fields,
We turn with gentle wonderment to see
How others fare,
Content to stay in fields of eglantine,
If Ifwandring there.
One in their love, and one to live their Ives.
Striving toward rocky heights by parted paths,
We know two lives, one love, in closer bonds
Than hand in hand.
And yet, those fields ofeglantne how fair they lie
Where two may stand,
One in their love, and one TO live their lives.

Who would think of making sugar
sweeter by the addition of salt? Such
however, is asserted to be the case by
Prof. Zuntz at a meeting of the Physi-
illogical Society of Berlin.
From his experiments he finds that
if to a solution of sugar there be added
a slight amount of salt and water so
weak that it excites no saline taste, the
result is extra sweetening of the su-
CARED water. The weakest of qllinine
solution is said to produce practically
similar result.
The explanation given to the above
seeming incongruity is that the ever
so feeble saltness or bitterness imparts
an increased sensibility to the sensa-
tion of taste by the simultaneous stim-
uli, and hence an appreciation of ad-
diti0nal sweetness.

THE Ex-RAY.
shows the Location of Bullet in the Body
of MIR. d. W. Emery.
(Kennehec Journal.)

(Kennehec Journal.)
An X-ray ph otoaraph has been taken
by Professors Robinson and Hutchins OF
Bowdoin Collsge, showing a bullet
which Mr.. d. w. Emery. of this city,
carries as reminder of ths bloody bat
tie Of Charlottesville.
Mr.. Emery enlisted May %, 1861, in
tered into the United States service June
8, near the spot where his house now
stands. He was appointed corporal
in the same month, and promoted to SER
geaDt the following July. He was in
every engagement with his company up
to and including Charlottesville. He
participated in the following battles
First Bull Run. Siege of York town,
Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Fair Oaks
Peach Orchard. Glendale, Malvern Hill,
Georgetown, Second Bull Run. Chantilly,
Fredericksburg and Charlottesville
On the third day Of the seven days
battles before Richmond. being third
sergeant, and the highest officer on duty
in the company-the Others being killed,
wounded or absent sick-Mr. Emery as
sumed command of his company nd
conducted It's movements until after the
change of base WIS accomplished. and
the Army established at Harrison's Land
ing. Soon after, in recognition OF his
faithful and gallant services In the field,
he was commissioned first Lieutenant,
which rank he held when wounded.
He served three years and one month,
ana WAS mustered out with his regi-
ment. Previous TO being wounded he
was never off duty day on account of
sickness.
Mr. Emery received his wound at the
charge through the woods. He was in
the act OF STOPPING to pass under low
limb of tree, when he was shot in the
shoulder. The bnll penetrated to the
spine, where 1t WAS DETECTED, and lny
parallel with it. 1t is now located in the
same position, laying against the spine
under the fourth rio. For about two
hours after he was wounded he lay upon
the battlefield. He was then carried by
the Federal pickets to log hut some
distance away. The next morning the
battle was resumed, and the portion of
the field upon which this hut was located
was captured by the Confederate forces.
Here Mr.. Emery remained prisoner for
ton days. He was then paroled with
other Union WouDOe0 ana turned over TO
General Hooker, who sent his ambu-
lances for them. He was taken to the
division hospital, whsro evertyh hing pos
81 BILE was done for him. For q long time
he hung between life and death, but his
youth ami a strong constitution, turned
the balance in his favor. He returned
home, but for several years he was un-
able to do any work. Never since he
reoeived this wound has he known what
it was to draw breath that was free
from pain-a fact, however, that his
strong will and cheerful disposition has
enabled him to conceal, even from his
friends.
curious thing connected with this
wound is the fact that, although the
bullet lies against the spine, the pain
from it has been more IN the front OF
the chest. He was advised to have an
operation performed for It's removal some
years ago, and now knows that had this
been done it would have been futile,
and posi- bly, fatal one.

The treasury deficit for November IL
slightly over sc, 600, 600, an increase Of
about S., 600. 600 over the deficit for the
corresponding month OF last year. This
increase has been due largely to an in
crease in expenditures, the drop in reve-
nue. being only about 100000 as CON-
pared with a year ago. There is no in
dication yet Of any considerable increase
of revenue by reason Of revival In

to keep up 1t seems it be clear that un.
1essssthe government is to continue to
