The origin of the familiar phrases
''straw bail" and "a man of straw" is
q most curious one. 1t dates back 3, 900
years, when the practice of entering
worthless bail was common. The exact
methods, however, have not been trans
mitted to posterity; but in several old
English works is to be found reference
to them. In one of these-Fielding's
Life OF Jonathan Wild" the thief
catcher-we read that Jonathan's aunt
married q man "who was famous for so
friendly disposition that he was bail
for above 100 persons in one year. He
had also the remarkable honor of walk
ing in Westminster hall with straw
in his shoe"
1t seems that at one time when Eng
lish lawyers wished to procure witnesses
with elastic consciences, or men who
would go bail for their clients, they
went into Westminster hall, into which
the principal courts of law opened, and
there would quickly recognize the men
they wanted by glancing at their shoes.
from which protruded a straw or two,
thus indicating their calling. Because
Of this trademark, 50 to speak, these
professional witnesses or bailgoers be-
came known as "men of straw" or ones
who were willing for consideration to
enter 'straw bail"

A Lesson From the Horse.

Did you ever notice the philosophical at
titude Of horse that has slipped and
knows that he has come down to bedrock
in this hard, cold world9 Really, men
might take lesson of him to the great
betterment of their nervous systems.
He lies perfectly still-so still you ig-
norantly conclude that he is stone dead or
stunned. Nothing of the kind. He is a
philosopher When he falls in harness. he
recognizes the fact that the harness con-
tributed to his downfall
He simply waits to have all impediments
removed before trying to retrieve his repu-
tation as horse Of upright tendencies and
solid merit. When the pressure is isremoved,
he gets up composedly, shakes himself to
prove that he is all there and is ready to
give destiny another wrestle. All Of which
is commendable and deserving of imitation
When o man falls in harness, he never
shows his philosophical side. On the con-
trary, the more "go'' he has in him the
more likely he is to founder, kick and "to
do'' over his tumble, making recuperation
difficult If not impossible Philosophy is
at discount. The grave yawns inviting
ly. Death has no sting. If it were not for
mans extremely human conceit, he might
learn many lessons of his dumb friends,
not least among which would be when and
how to lie still If he falls in harness. -

Ths Nevada Senator'S caustie Letter %
the PhiladelphiA Bishop.

Ins Nevada ssnatoPs Canstie Letter %
the PhiladsIphiA Bishop.
The following caustic letter has been
addressed by Senator Stewart of Nevada
10 Bishop Newman. who recently gave
vent to q savage attack on Mr.. Bryan
and his platform:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8, 1895.
Bishop John P. Newman, Methodist
Episcopal Church, Philadelphia:
DEAR SR-I am panied to see in the
public press q statement TO the effect
that you have joined the enemies Of
your country to oppress and rob the
great mass Of your fellow citizens.
If the published quotations from your
speech are correct you have indorsed
the clandestine legislation Of 1873,
whereby one half of the metallic money
of the world was destroyed and the
value of the other half doubled. You
have also indorsed the schemes of the
money powers of London and New York
to control the gold of the world, sd-
vance its purchasing power, reduce the
value of property and services and
thereby build up money oligarchy on
the ruins of the republic
There is no excuse for q man of your
intelligence to advocate the gold stand
ard. You know that the purchasing
power of gold has been advanced by
fraudulent legislation and wicked ma
nipulation fully 100 per cent; that the
rich have been made richer and the poor
poorer; that the government of the
United States is fast becoming gov
ernment Of plutocracy. In former days
you mourned over the practices by which
the earnings Of the masses were trans
ferred to few. Now you even go so fal
as to advocate the election Of William
Mckinley, who indorses the policy o.
Grover Cleveland, of John Sherman, oi
Pierpont Morgan, and of the agents o!
the Rothschilds on both sides of the At
lantic. Doyou know that William Nc
Kinley, or rather Mr.. Hanna, who con
trolls the action of Mr.. Mckinley, con
tends that the United States has NJ
power "to coin money and regulate the
value thereof" although the constitu
ton expressly confers such power2
thank you that you have told tht
people your evil purposes. This may
have been indiscreet on your part, but
assure you that it will put honest mel
on guard against the wicked work yor
propose, and perhaps your evil boastine
may prove boomerang and a benefit tt
the cause of honest money and homes
men. Yours truly,
| WILLIAM M STEWART

Patriotism of the people.

Unless mistake the character of the
people among whom we live you will
never be able to get them to support q
candidate for the presidency who will
continue the policy Of mortgaging the
American people to foreign syndicates
when 70, 10000 people stand ready to
protect the treasury of the United
States.
Aye, more than that, upon the deci-
sion Of the United States may turn the
financial policy Of the. world. Not only
in America, but all over the world, the
toiling masses are looking for relief TO
that nation which ought to stand fore
most in every great reform.
II the gold standard is good thing,
I ask you, why did not the Republican
party at St Louis declare that the gold
standard should be maintained perma-
nently, and if the gold standard is bad
thing why was it SO cowardly as to say
10 tho American people, you should
submit to bad thing until foreign po-
tentates and powers come to the relief
Of a suffering people" Bryan at Crest
line, O.

IN go Alone" she said You'd

shall win tonight"
He watched her as she walked quickly
in the direction Of the lighted building,
then turned and thrust his hands into
his empty pockets and walked slowly
and dejectedly in the opposite direction.
With mad recklessness which was
characteristic of her, she staked all her
small capital ON the first throw-and
won. Keeping no reserve, she staked all
she had again and won again. With
white, set face, and with something
beating hard and fast in her temples
like a little hammer, she played stead
lily on. Gradually crowd grew about
her; little, hoarse mrrmur of surprise
went up as she raked over the money
again and again. Everything she touch
ed turned to gold; she followed no sys-
tenn; she played with the greatest irreg-
ularity.
Men, coming out into the night air,
laughing and talking eagerly, wondered
who she was and predicted that she
would certainly break the bank; others,
crowding in and peering over each
others shoulders, pressed TO catch q
sight of the beautiful wonder. But the
woman played steadily on; only now
and again she whispered, through her
set teeth, For my love-my lover'
They all came crowding out at last

THE GREAT QUESTION.
We Dare Not Intrust Our Affairs to Those
Who Doubt Our Nations Potency.

We Dare Not Intrust Our Affairs to Those
Who Doubt Our Nations Potency.
My friends, in this campaign there is
only one great ISSUE If that is settled,
it will not give us a government perfect
in all its details, but that one question
must be settled first before other ques-
tions can be settled.
A nation that is not able to adopt its
own financial policy is too impotent to
legislate on any question where the peo-
pie are concerned. We do not say that
our opponents are insincere. We do not
say they are less honest than we, but
we do say that when they attempt to
say to the American people that we
must be dependent upon the legislative
act of some other government, we say it
matters not how honest they may be,
we dare not intrust legislation TO their
hands.
have said that in this contest we
have repetition Of the contest of 1915,
and that in this campaign. as in that, a
line will be drawn between the patriot
and the Tory, and when I say it do
not say it, my friends, to criticise the
man who believes that this nation is
not great enough to legislate for its own
people. He believes it honestly, and I
recall your attention to the fact that in
the struggle of our forefathers for liber-
ty there were those who honestly be-
lieved that we ought to continue in this
land the political supremacy of Great
Britain.
In this they were but mistaken, and
if you go to the cemeteries you will find
no monument reared by a grateful peo-
pie to commemorate the names Of those
who thought English domination should
continue. There are people today who
believe that this nation is not strong
enough to legislate for our people, and
there are people who honestly believe
that an attempt to do so would bring
distress and many evils We may re-
spect their honesty, but must we enter
into life and death struggle with them
because we assert here that the finan-
cial domination BY a foreign power is
as dangerous to the liberties Of the peo-
pie as political dominationP-Bryan at
