SPOKE HIS MIND.
Srand Duke Vladimir Criticised in His
Own Presence.

own PRESENCE.
A refreshing story is told in the col
umns of the Frankfort Gazette: The
car intrusted Count Pahlan, liberal
minded man, with an inquiry into the
causes of the terrible disaster at Mos
cow on the occasion of the coronation,
and the count did not hesitate to tell
his majesty, in the presence of Grand
Duke Vladimir, that he would have done
better not to put the superintendent OF
the coronation festivals into the hands
of the grand duke. This frank declara-
ton staggered the emperor, who asked
Count Pahlen to advance his reasons
The count answered: "The grand
dukes are in their right place in the
army and navy, but if they have to do
with purveyors and purveyance they
must be cheated" The Grand Duke
Vladimir protested against this, but
smilingly Count Pahlen reminded him
of his own bad experience in connec-
tion with the building of the memorial
church to Alexander II. In consequence
of this frank attitude of Count Pahlen
the minister of justice was ordered to
continue the inquiry. He succeeded in
clearing up the dark affair, but when
the investigation begun to take very
disagreeable turn it was determined to
submit it not to the ordinary court of
justice, but to the ministerial council
in other words, to burke it.

A False Belief.

"a leading New York fnancier states
than $50, 600, 900 were withdrawn from the
savings banks of that city during the
recent campaign. This is a striking proof
of the fear that prevailed on account of
the free silver agitation, and an indication
of the catastrophe that would haye en-
sued in the event of Bryan's election.
In all its history the country probably
never escaped a greater danger to its
welfare and prosperity"
The above comments are by the Cecil
Wing and do not evince any more insight
into the methods used by the goldbugs i'll
late campaign or knowledge of results,
than the simple people who ran to the
savings banks and drew out hundred or
two dollars they had deposited. They
were all scared by false alarm got up by
the money trust for political effect They
hid their money away fearing it would
turn to 5o-cent dollars if left i'll the bank
but believed it would remain good 100
cent money if they buried it.
Bryan's election would have had the
very opposite effect from that represented.
The banks would have given in at once
had Bryan been elected, and fastened to
stay the panic they had nearly created,
because the results would have fallen on
them most heavily. Eight of the largest
New York banks contributed to a fund
and placed it in charge of the clearing
house committee to stop any panic liable
TO occur OH account of the needless scare
they had created i'll the minds of simple
people for political effect. ]. Pierpont
Morgan offered to contribute million to
the fund if needed. He understood the
game.
The election of Bryan would have
caused a revival of business everywhere
throughout the country. 1t would have
meant the reconciliation of silver, which
meant more money in the channels of
trade, and more money in the channels of
trade always means advance in prices
and with rise in prices business revives
1t always has and always must do So
Bryan's election meant all of these. Bus
mess people would soon have caught the
spirit. Money would have come ont from
its hiding. The closed mines in the
Rocky mountains would have opened up
with demand for all kinds of goods
Factories would have opened to supply
the thousands of 1aborers who would
have been Immediately employed. No,
the election of Bryan did not mean
panic, but prosperity. The panic makers
would have FASTENED to stop the mischief
they had engineered, because they would
have been the greatest sufferers.
But what does McKinley's election
mean? 1t means what is taking place,
which it is folly to attempt to deny,
which is continuation of the chronic
panic that has been caused by the gold
standard. 1t means no let up to the hard
times which Grover Cleveland with the
assistance of the Republican party has in
tensihed as he received them from the
hands of Benjamin Harrison. Deny the
monsters presence while he stares you in
the face. Who can?

The vote of Ohio is stumper.
259,494 more votes were polled in
Ohio than can be accounted for,
making the vote to population 1 to
80. One to five is the proportion
every where but this year in Ohio.
These unaccounted for votes must
have got lost from the free eXcur-
sions Mark Hanna ran in to visit
Mckinley. Bryan received 475, OOO
votes, this is 10000 more than it
gave Cleveland in 1892 and yet
Mckinley had $4,000 more than
Bryan. Understanding crooked
about this business in Ohio. Bryan's
vote this year was larger than Ohio
ever in any preceding year gave
any candidate, Republican or Demo
GRAFT. Where did all of these votes
come from? Bushnell's vote last
year was 427, 900 the largest evel
received by any republican candi
date before that time.
A calm unbiased view of thu
vote shows that the central western
states were carried for Mckinley
by colonizing, and that is what the
unheard of before excursions t.
visit Mckinley meant. The colo
nists were dropped offat the stations
a few at a place where they could
be taken care of till after election
And this is what the great Nc.
Kinley excursions meant. 1t is al
plain enough now. Mckinley
carried the central west by coloniz.
ing votes.

For the last thirty five years the people
had followed the echoes of the war to the
polls and politicians have, by taking adj
vantage of this fact, made fat living off
of their weakness. This year, however,
all was changed and parties were shivered
to pieces. Those who attempted to follow
party names have been badly ratified and
will in few months discover how COM
pletely they have been mixed up. Many
who are sincere believers in silver and
the peoples rule have been swerved by
| their prejudices to vote for monopoly and
the gold standard, but parties for the most
part were bursted to flinders. For the
first time in years men who believed alike
voted together, and the dividing will con-
tinue as the lines become more distinct
Wall street for the first time in many
years became thoroughly frightened and
had to throw its entire influence on the
one side which represented dollarocracy
government. All the money power con-
tributed to the campaign went to one side.
All the corporation attorneys and million
aire orators made their speeches on the
gold side, and the bankers had to get out
and talk politics.
AS the excitement of the campaign
cools down and the smoldering embers
become ashes of the past, the plain peo-
pie will see not as now thro' glass dark
ly but face to face, that the money mo-
nopoly which so many of them helped
with their votes bodies no good to them;
that the interest of these non-producing
classes is dramatically opposed to their
own.
The division which was started on this
wealth line-concentrated and incor-
porated wealth OH one side, and honest
toiling industry on the other-will be
continued. Principles will sway the
voters in future more strongly than party
names and the two elements will attract
voters rather than names of parties. Gold
standard, monopoly government and
English class rule will be ranged on one
side, and popular government with the
rights of the people as opposed to the
English plutocratic system, which the
republican party is generally admitted to
now stand for, on the other
Thousands now dazed and uncertain
where they stand will see the situation
clearly two years hence, when old party
lines will be completely obliterated. The
gold standard is the financial policy of
the millionaire. 1t means low prices,
idleness and poverty to the laboring
classes, exactly what they have been suf-
fering under it for years. The people of
the West see the true situation much
clearer than the masses of the East, but
they of the East will learn rapidly in
future.

Some unusually thoughtful, timely,
and practical articles will be found in the
December arena. Among them may be
mentioned can Inheritance for the
Waifs," by c. F. Taylor, M. D., and
"The Concentration of Wealth." by Eft
weed Pomeroy (illustrated). DIR. Taylor's
proposition is that by instituting tax on
inheritances, as has been done i'll some
other countries, we might be able to
establish fund for the amelioration of
the poor; his scheme is ingeniously work
ed out. Mr.. Pomeroys paper is val
uable contribution to political economy,
and shows the accelerating tendency of
wealth to concentrate in the hands of a
few, tpoints out to what condition the
tendency bids fair to bring us in the near
future, and indicates the dangers of the
situation; 1T abounds i'll statistics, aud the

Appreciated tho Cider.

Some years ago well-known foreigr
prince, who owns large estate in tn,
midlands of England, invited his ten
ants to a hunt breakfast, at which claret
was the principal beverage. After the
breakfast, and just before the hounds
were thrown off. champagne was handed
around in large cups, when one old
fashioned farmer, after taking a long
pull at one of the cups and snacking
his lips, exclaimed: 'Well, your royal

1t was the desire of Rev. Augustus

man In England. to be welcomed by
his people as a neighbor and friend
rather than rs clergyman; but he con-
fesses that he was often pulled up by a
reminder more or less reproachful that
if he had forgotten his vocation, his
host had not! Ever been to Tombland
fair, Mrs. Cawl?" he asked during a
parochia1 visit, which he describes in
1.-The Trials of Country Parson."
Mrs. Cawl had perennial flow Of
words, which came from her lips in q
steady, unceasing and deliberate mono
tone, slow trickle Of verbiage without
the semblance Of stop. She began:
