The Popocrats are still circulating
a fake circular in which the London
Financial News is made to say:
The condition of affairs in the
United States Congress demands the
immediate attention of British fnan.
ciers and statesmen. The trade of
the world is now in our hands, but it
will not long remain there if the
United States goes to a bimetallc
basis with free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
Much more of the same sort fol-
lows all of which is downright for
gerry, nothing of the sort having ever
appeared in the Financial News.
The News repudiated it several weeks
ago, but it seems that it is still being
sent out, several copies reached this
office Monday night.

his own product. The factory is GER
tainly neat and aromatic. A Whit Of
the air there after dinner Is always as
good as dash of tomato ketchup. 1t
requires 1000 tons of tomatoes daily to
supply the demand for the various pre-
serves that are put up here. These are
furnished largely by the farm in con-
nection with the factory and partly by
the surrounding gardeners. The finest,
reddest fruit is reserved for the ketchup
making. 1t must be nnbruised. This
Is placed In scalding machine where,
with two separate cold washings and
hot plunge bath, the skin is loosened.
Hence 1t goes into a peculiar machine
called the Cyclone" which separates
the skins and seeds from the pulp. Big
porcelain-lined pumps take the pulps to
'sifter," where the coarser fibers are
taken out and nothing but the blood
red fluid percolates through, to be made
into ketchup. Even this refining proc
ess is not enough, for the water is sepa-
rated from it, and the clear pulp is then
placed in large Theoretically sealed cans,
where it is cooked without foreign
substances Of any kind as a preserya-
tive.
These cans are taken down through
out the year, as occasion demands, and
the real process of making ketchup
from the essence of the tomato begins.
The plup goes through more sitting
machines that make it smooth like
cream, and is placed in large tin-lined
kettles, where 1t is boiled and seasoned.
Country girls with fresh Jersey com
plexions stir it up meanwhile, and the
spices-w hat they are only two men
know-aie added. It is then tomato
ketchup ready for the bottles, buckets
and barrels that await it; for ketchup
is made by the barrel and shipped by

1t is generally conceded that in
National elections Vermont is the
pace maker or political barometer,
telling with accuracy, by her Sep
TENDER election, what result may be
expected in the November election
following. This view has been borne
out by the facts since 1860. Since
that period but twice has the Septem-
Der plurality fallen below "a 900 and
in both instances Cleveland was elect
ed in November. In other Presiden-
tlal years the September plurality
has ranged from $4,000 to $4,000.
This year it is, in round numbers,
$4,000 and indicates, Enthusiastically,
complete walk over for Mckinley.
While the sound money men will have
to make bitter fight in some few To-
calities there is no longer any doubt
as to the outcome. 1t will be over
whelming. The sound sense of the
country is now being completely
aroused and National honor will
surely be preserved.
The sound money Democrats have
promulgated National ticket and a
G )od one from a Democratic stand
point. The convention at Indianap-
oils nominated Gen. John M. Pal
mer of Illinoise for President and
Gen. Simon B. Buckner of Kentucky
for second place. Forty-one states
were represented in the convention.
1t is predicted by some that the ticket
will draw more votes in some of the
middle West states than the Bryan
ticket.
The platform is for the gold stand
ard, law and order and tariff for
revenue only. 1t endorses the pres.
ent administration and is typical
Democratic as the party existed be-
fore it became Altgellzed.

An Elegant Home.

The new residence building now be.

southwest corner Of Lincoln and Sixth
streets, upon which a number oi
mechanics are now employed under the
direction of Contractor A. j. Mills
promises to compare favorably with, il
it does not exceed in its elegance OF
structure, its magnificent and elaborate
appointments, and its beauty and per-
fectlon of design. that of any of the fine
residences previously built in this city.
The spacious structure is of the attrac-
tive Queen Ann style of architecture,
and when completed in accordance with
the proposed plans, will be a most pro-
nounced ornament to what is conceded
to be one of the most desirable residence
localities in the city.
The building has two stories and con-
tains eleven spacious rooms with bath
room, wardrobes, closets, ETC., embracing
all of the conveniences found in the
best appointed modern homes. The
site upon which the building is located
is one Of the most desirable in the city,
being delightfully."- bordered upon the
east by rock capped elevations whose
sides are fringed with waving pines
which give to it most romantic and
attractive appearance. The structure is
the most prominent feature in the view
looking north from Custer Avenue and
Sixth street. and when completed will
attract the attention, if it does not
excite the envy of many who fix their
gaze in that direction.

The Chicago Tribune submits the fol.
lowing, which is point that Is mani
festly well taken:
THE principal reason why Major Nc
Kinley does not initiate Mr.. Bryan's
example and invade the 'enemy's
country is that in all the broad expanse
Of the United States there is no section
that is hostile TO him."
Major McKlnley's patriotism is not
confined to given sections. but embraces
the entire country, and the great prin-
ciplcs he ADVOCATES are cherished in the
hearts Of the people in all sections to an
extent which may not be fully realized
until the votes are counted on the 3rd
day of November next.
