Grafton of the free silver advocates and
ask them whether 1t Is not perfectly
plain that the success of that cause
would have depleted the treasury of
gold, driven that money into hiding,
thereby causing n great contraction of
the currency, and produced disastrous
financial disturbance? Here we have a
practical illustration of the danger that
free silver threatened which any one of
ordinary intelligence can understand. If
the Chicago ticket had won last Tuesday
we should now have financial chaos,
with everybody who possessed a green
back or treasury note clamoring to OK
change it for gold. As 1t Is there Is con-
fidence and everybody who has n dollar,
whether of silver or paper, knows 1t will
be as sound Il month hence or Il year
hence as 1t is now. The object lesson
should impress itself upon every man
whose mind Is not still clouded by the
free silver dcluson.

Governor Holcomb's increased plu-
rallty over that of the Bryan electors
in Nebrasks is explained by the Bryan
managers IFS due to the confusion oc-
casloned by the designation Of the Pal.
mcr electors on the official ballot as
democrats. This explanation, however,
is only a pretense. If any one was in
iured by the form of the official ballot
the candidate for governor certainly
must have Suffered equally If not more
than the fusion candidates for electors.
There was a candidate for governor
designated democrat, and his name ap-
pcared first on the list. Bryan ran be-
hind Holcomb simply because he was
less popular and commanded less sup
port and not because the voters made
mistakes in marking their ballots.

Chicago Inter Ocean (rep): Every enc
who rejoices in the election Of Mckinley
should feel grateful to the sound money
democracy especially to those who went the
whols figure. The republicans had the
incentive OF party zeal, but the democrats
who broke away from Bryan and Organism
severed strong ties OF afiiliation, and deserve
the reward of public gratitude.
Chicago Chronicle (dem): The republicans
are as greatly indebted to the democrats OF
the country today as they were In 1872, for
their triumph at the polls. If they are
sagacious they will not fail to see that their
triumph may be shortliyed II they so

4 STRIKING OBJECT LESSON.

For month or more before the elec-
ton there We're Withdrawals of gold
from the subtreaSurieS for the purpose
of boarding. On last Monday the sub
treasury in New York paid out gold for
greenbacks to the amount of $1,250,OOO
most of the Withdrawals being for small
sums. This showed the anxiety and ap-
prehension of the people, who knew that
gold would go to Il premium if the sound
money cause We're defeated and who
were therefore DESTROYS of possessing
themselves of rs much of the yellow
metal as they could get in exchange for
legal tender notes.
Now the situation is reversed and the
people who withdrew gold are anxious
to return it for notes. They prefer the
latter ms being more convenient and
knowing that they will continue to be
rs good as gold in their purchasing
power and for MI the purposes of do
nestle business, they are so eager to get
the paper money that the subtreasury
was compelled to put restriction on
lhe demand, lest ii should be suddenly
drained of small bills Not only this,
but the banks are beginning to pay out
gold when asked for 1t and there is no
reason why this should not very soon
become general, as it probably will.
We commend this to the sober consld-

STOP DISSENSLON.

That is excellent advice which Major
Mckinley gives, that party discussions
should no longer divide or rack the pub
lie mind nor the zeal or temper of either
side deter any citizen from patriotic de-
votion to the good Of all" The contest
is over and the will of the people has
been declared. There are many who are
dissatisfied, but no man who has regard
for the welfare of the community in
which he lives and for the country will
seek to pcrpctuatc the discussions and
the passions cngcndered in the cam
paign. There was probably never before
so much of this in Il presidential can
vass. never so much bitterness and ill
feeling, but there is no reason or excuse
for continuing this. No cause can be
helped by it. but on the contrary much
harm may be done. Everybody should
accept the decision of the majority
readily and uncomplainingly. for that is
the duty of the good citizen under our
form of government.
We have had long season of dcprcS-
sion from which everybody has suffered
The beginning of an era of improved
conditions is manifest and every one
should heartily contribute what he may
to bring about restoration of prosper
ity. Surely there has been enough of
heated political strife for ut least four
years and the country needs TO settle
down to business and endcavor to repair
the damage that has been done. The ad-
monition of Major Mckinley is as wise
as it is patriotic.

DIsREpUTARLE JOURNALISM.
The so-CaIIed Election News Dissemi-
mated by PopUcratic Newspapers.


The very acme Of stupidity in any public
journal, however<limited may be its clrcula-
ton or inHuence,is the dissemination of so
called news which it knows to be false
This vicious expedient Is not infrequently
senseless and dlsreputable The motive
may be distinctly corrupt or it may be
merely an iGiotlc whim to mislead for a
few hours. thoughtless persons into a BELIEF
which is in harnOpy with their desires
But in either eSent the effect is the same
the final disappointment and humiliation
of the credrlons individuals who permit
themselves to be duped by this sort of
journalistic charlatanism, and the execraton
of those who practice II.
of course this sort Of jugglery Is to be
condemned without reservation from the
standpoint of morality. 1t violates every
requirement of honor and decency, and Is
an exhibition OF bad faith for which there
Is no apology. But. wicked as II is, It's
stupidity SURPRISES Its deprayity. The
pretended journalist who engages In such
odous business knows that he must in the
end be written down as a willful falsifer,
and that he must incur the lasting resent
ment of his credulous victims. II goes
without saying that no newspaper could
find a more ready or certain method of
suicide for a lack OF judgment does not
preclude by any means the possession OF
a long memory. The gulible partisans
who were induced on Wednesday TO take
belated bets on Bryan through the influence
of fictitious bulletins indicating his cleo
ton are not likely to forget the spurious
newspapers which led them to take chances
on a losing cause

It is entitled to much praise But the re-

as indicating something more, than nero
party victory.
Chicago Times Herald (repO: The poll-
tlcian who does not appreciate the inn
portanco OF the Independent vote In the
present election misses the most significant
moral OF the historic contest just closed.
The election of Major Mckinley is not in any
sense q partisan victory. II is one Of the
most splendid demonstrations Of the power
and influence OF tho Independent voter, and
1t Is safe to say that the whole future OF
American politics will be profoundly affected
by the present magnificent triumph OF In

these two brave old men, both of whom
Kentucky claims and their unbending and
fearless loyalty in the darkest hour tho
democratic party has ever known will never
be forgotten. They made it possible for tho
party to keep its good name; because Of them
the democracy can never be known as the
enemy of good government

Nicola Tesla, the electrician, is credited
with saying that he believes man might
live 200 years if he would sleep most of
the time. That is why negroes often live

much. He also alluded to the current re-
port that Mr.. Gladstone now sleeps seven
teen hours every day. Edison recently told
a reporter that he frequently went for forty
eight hours without sleep. and sometimes
for seventy. Following such a period of
work, he often sleeps for eighteen hours
