Among the 5OOO0 workingmen who crowded and surrounded Cooper Union, New York, on Friday night, after an honest days labor cheering for Bryan and democracy, not one was bribed or bullied into being present. They were there of their own free will, and as free men. Of the mixed crowd that paraded on Saturday. alleged to be 100000, proba- bly, more than two-thirds abhorred the parts they had been driven or induced to take in it in order to please their em- ployes, by threats of discharge, or re- duction of wages, or bribes in the shape of money or holiday; and many of them will vote today according to their con victions and consciences.
Birmingham state herald., 1896-11-03

Reports tell us, that in the display and parade in New York on Saturday, labori- ously churned up by the slaves of the money bags, many of the gentry who sport monocles, wear kid gloves, part their hair in the middle, and who never earned an honest meal or cent in their lives. to make show of fraternity with the common people-'.the lower orders, as they style them over their champagne marched in the procession among, and side by side with boot blacks, real or sham miners in begrimed clothes, steve dores. and the like. A few days ago, they could not have endured the smell of these workingmen; tomorrow, whether they vote for Bryan or Mckinley today. they would, if they dared, kick them off the pavement, if they should "come between the wind and their nobility"

Lord WoIsoiey Teaches soudnn Post
mnstor How to DO His Wort.

Lord WoIsoiey Teaches n Soudnn Post
master How to DO His Work.
To illustrate some of the disogreeable
things which the soldiers suffered in
the Soudan, says the Springfield Re-
publican, Mr. Nourse tells the follow
ing nnecdote OF the postal service,
which also wei shows how democratic
was Lord Wolseley, the commandant.
Nourse went to the postoffice at Korti
to look fol some letters. The postmaster
was native and not very much at
handwriting, and said that there was
nothing for him, after superficial
glance at big pile Of papers and let
ters.
Nourse asked to see the pile of let
ters, and while he was looking them
over man with nothing to designatc
his rank came into the Office in com
pany with another. He took in tha
situation at a glance and said: Let S
clean this thing out" Whereupon the!
jumped over the counter and bundled
the postmaster out. neck and heels
Then they began the examination OF
the Office and found it congested with
mail for the army.
They searched every nook and cram
ny and threw the letters for one regi
ment into one corner. those for another
into another. with all the newspapers
in the center of the floor. Then they
went through each pile and separated
it into companies, and before night
every letter in camp was distributed
and the next day the papers were out.
Nourse at the time did not know who
his companion in the good deed was.
He asked him his name and his answer
was: "They call me Charley" Some
time afterward Nourse was going to
see the commandant and. sitting near
his tent, saw his companion at the post
office.
Hello Charley" he said, I'm look
ing for the commandant; wherell find
him?"
WELL" said Charley" "you won't
have to look very far. I'm the COM
mandant. Come inside and have bit
to eat and drink"
1t was Lord Wolseley, and man
worthy Of his title.

Somebody must hold Office, but the

A Remarkable Echo.

A Killarney tourist, so the story
goes, was assured by guide that the
echo on Loeb Gill was worth hearing.
So off went the tourist to hear it, and
hired two men to row him out, ac-
complishing the transaction so swiftly
that there was no time for them to ar
range for the usual echo to be in at
tendance. In despair they broke an
oar, and one swan ashore to fetch an
other. The echo then began. Good
morrow" cried the tourist. Good NOR
row." said the echo, with brogue.
Fine day, God bless it," cried the tour
igt. "Foine day, God bless it," said the
echo. "Will you have drink?" cried
the tourist. ''Begorra, l will" roared
the echo.

CONTENT WITH A GOLD MINE.
Stratton, tho Cripple Creek Miner, IL
Taking Life Easy These Daya

From the New York Herald: One Of
the richest Of the Cripple Creek gold
mine owners is a miner known to all
as "Old Man" Stratton, who, until a
few years ago, was poor. hard-work-
ing carpenter. He went to Colorado de-
termined to make a lucky strike If it
were possible to do so. He made the
; strike and the claim he located yield
ed ore which ran from $500 to $500 to the
ton. AT one time he accepted an offer
OF $4,000 for the mine, and received
$4,000 cash down. Then came the
financial depressions Of 1893 and the
contract fell through, but "Old Man"
Stratton had the $4,000 and used it
to develop his mine. He was soon TAX
Ing so much out of his mine that he
did know what to do with it. He was
millionaire now, and when he began
to think of the hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars he had in bank and of the
from the mine. he said to himself: Il
must go slow: II / do not look out l
will go crazy" And then this singular
man came to an odd conclusion. He
did not want his money in the banks,
nor did he want the bother of invest
ments. And so he has gone ahead and
pushed his drifts along the veins and
run shafts, and, as the phrase is,
blocked out the ore." To-day he has
50, 900. 900 or $4,000. 900 worth of "ore in
sight" and probably more. He does
not know how much there is himself.
One day q man came to him and said:
"Will you take $1O,OOO,00O for your
mine?"
The old man replied:
do you happen to have million in
your pocket?'
The man said:
''No. but l guess can get it."
Then Stratton added:
well. II you would give me ten times
ten million. and put a million in gold
down to bind the bargain, I wouldn't
sell. II / had the money I wouldn't
know what to do with it. So long as
1t is down In the mine no one can take
1t away from me. and l can take II
out as fast as please"
And so this man sits In an unpre-
tentious little ONCE In Colorado Springs
and looks up towards Pike's peak. just
beyond which lies the Independence
mine, and gently dreams OF the day
when. II 1t pleases his fancy. he may
take a million dollars from the depths
OF the earth between the rising and the

CLEVELAND'S POSITION

A member of the cabinet, talking
yesterday about Mr.. Cleveland and a
third term, said: II haven't the faint
est idea whether Mr.. Cleveland wants
another term. He has never said any
thing about it to me, and 1 have never
heard him say anything which would
in any way indicate that he was will
ing to serve another term or that he
would be perfectly content to retire TO
private life next March. Whether the
habit Of offioe-holding has grown upon
him, whether the possession of great
power and high station has had its in
tiuence upon him, as it would upon
most men, cannot tell. But has it
ever occurred to you that when Mr..
Cleveland goes out of the White House
he will be in rather peculiar position?
II he resumes the practice Of his pro-
fession it will take him two or three
years to get back into the harness
again. because men soon grow rusty
on law, and 80 many new decisions
are constantly being rendered
that lawyer has to keep pace
with them all the time if he does not
want to drop behind the procession. I
don't think that Mr.. Cleveland, like
General Grant, will care to travel for
two or three years, and while he is fond
of fishing, he can scarcely take that up
as steady profession. When he went
out Of the White House before his po-
sition was different, because, while in
no sense of the word candidate, his
party looked to him as their leader and
recognized that he must inevitably be
the candidate again. This made of
him the unique figure that he was dur
ing these four years. But if he de-
clines to be a candidate now his career
is closed, and l scarcely believe that,
like a former president, he would care
to be a candidate for congress. In
some respects it might be wise to so
amend the constitution as to make ex-
presidents life senators, thus giving
the country the great benefit of the ex-
perience and knowledge which they &C.
quire in the White House, and which
would be Of inestimsble value."-

The boy was also rowing, but for some
reason he displeased this man, who in
stantly dropped his own paddle, seized
that of the boy, wrenched it from his
hands and grasped the boy by the neck.
He pressed him over the side of the
canoe, with the evident purpose of
throwing him into the river. at this
juncture his master, from the shore,
yelled at him. when he released his
hold and resumed rowing. On arriv.
ing at the designated place his master
pounded him over the head with pad

being the most valuable. Leather,
when prepared for this purpose, under
goes q much lighter dressing than
when prepared for boots or shoes. The
first operation in glovemsking is to
stretch out the skin on piece Of mar
BILE and render IT. uniform with blunt
knife. The skin is then made damp,
either by rubbing it with wet cloth
or by putting it in damp place. 1t is
then sounded and examined to dis
cover blemishes. After this it is cut
into pieces of convenient size.
Paris is beyond question the most
important center of glovemaking, and
for delicacy of material and beauty of
workmanship the production of some
Parisian manufactures is without
equal. Buckskin gloves are largely
made in the United States and that
branch, together with limited pro-
duction of kid gloves, is chiefly in the
village of Gloversville, Fulton county,
N. Y. Kid gloves are made to some ex-
tent in New York city. The kid glove
has become 30 completely part of

business to collect skins for this pur-
pose, many of the kid skins being OBJ
tanned from the hawkers in the south
