been spent in sending our committee to
the legisla ature to lobby in the interest
of such a measure.

crowded to the utmost limit with mass
es of voters, and Bryan's reception was
cordial in the extreme. AS Mr.. Bryan
was approaching Mueller hall a mighty
storm burst over the city, but it was
unable apparently to quench the ar
dor of the thr0ngs who lined the streets.
Mr.. Bryan's progress from hall to
han grew more and more difficult. At
times it seemed to be question Wheth-
er the crowds on the outside would ad-
NIT him to the inside of the different
halls.
Finally it became necessary to send
for a special detail of police and keep a
atrol wagon filled with blue coats in
close proximity to his carriage.

Gold However.

New York, Oct. 3O.-There was a no
table absence Of excitement in Wall
street at the opening today consider
ing the extreme stringency of money
yesterday. Higher London quotations.
scarcity of stocks offering in the local
market and rumOrs of financial relief
measures being taken by banks caused
confident sentiment. The only loan
reported to II o'clock was of SO. 900 at
so per cent; this was an outside trans
action as regular loans are not made
in the stock exchange until IL o'clock.
In banking circles, 1t is understood
that an informal agreement has been
reached by the presidents of six or sew
en- Institutions to pool their issues in
the event of money reaching what is
considered a prOhibitive figure today, or
upon any indications of distress in mer-
camille circles that will draw upon their
reserve to as large an extent as may be
necessary. 1t is rumored that the
banks are prepared to put out some five
to ten millions of dollars.
No official action will be taken by the
clearing house as a body.
President Simmons of the clearing
house association says there is nothing
in the present financial situation to ex-
cite alarm and that the banks are
abundantly able to meet any emergen-
cy that may arise.

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT srRAKs.

Another old-line democrat who is disap-
pointed with his party's action at Chicago,
is Punderson Avery. For many years Mr..
Avery has been one Of the pillars of Benton's
democracy, and has always been in hearty
accord with democratic principles. but he
sees in the Chicago platform much that is
populistic and very little that is democratic.
To a GAZETTE representative he expressed
himself regarding the conventions course
very much as follows:
II believe the Chicago conyention estray-
ed from sound democratic principles. and
that no democrat who has the best inter ests
or prosperity of our country at heart, or
who believes in keeping faith with the cred
itors of the nation, should follow it.
II believe the free coinage Of silver would
put our country on Il silver basis; that our
silver, worth 100 cents on the dollar now,
would be worth only SO cents; that the rcsui.
of this sudden change in our monetary sys-
TEN would throw the country into a general
panic that might last for years; that during
this panic, there would be no value to any
thing; no value to lands nor the products Of
lands; that the laborers and poor, among
whom there are quite number Of believers in
this change, would be the great sufferers"

After 'Rm with a Sharp Stick.

Secretary Morton is watching the expert
ment stations and agricultural colleges very
closely. The law gives him certain over
sight Of these Institutions especially the sta
tions' expenditures. 1t is evidently to be
the policy of the U. s. department of agri-
culture to strengthen its grip on the stations
and keep them closely confined to their legit-
mate duties. In the last issue of the Exper-
iment Station Record, published by the de-
partmcnt, appears an excellent statement of
the real objects of these stations. We thor
oughly agree with DR.. True that the expert
ment station was established to make exper-
iments land the closer it sticks to its trade
the greater will be its success in the long
rum" We have never conceived that it was
the stations duty to undertake the work
which legitinatly belongs to agricultural
colleges, farmers institutes and to state
boards or commissioners of agriculture. As
DR.. True says, the information which the
stations should disseminate is to be obtained
through original research and by verifying
experiments, and the money from the ma
tional treasury is given solely "for the pur-a
pose of paying the necessary expsnse of con-
ducting Investigations and experiments and
prilting and distributing the rcsults.'-
