two or three other parties became a
little quarrelsome over some unim-

came to pass where a blow or two
was struck between Newman and
McGivern. McGvern pulled revol-

M,KINLEY TO THE PEOPLE

Let the farmers and workingmer
OF Michigan be duly impressed with
the following truths, spoken by the
next president of the United States,
William Mckinley:
"Our difficulty now is to set our
money in circulation and invest it
in productive enterprises, which
furnish employment to American
labor This is impossible with the
distrust that hangs over the coun-
try at the present time, and every
effort to make our dollars, or any of
them, worth less than 100 cents
each only serves to increase that
distrust. What we want is a sound
policy, financial and industrial,
which will give courage and conf
dence to all, for when that is done
the money now unemployed,
through fear for the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will APP
pear in the channels of trade.
Gentlemen, the employment of
our idle money-the idle money we
already have-in gainful pursuits
will put every idle man in the coun-
try at work and where there is work
there is wages, and when there is
work wage earnerS are consumers.
who constitute the best market for
the products of our soil.
Having destroyed business and
confidence by free trade policy, it
is now proposed to make things
still worse by entering upon an era
of deprecated currency. Not con-
tent with the inauguration of a
ruinous policy, which has brought
down the wages of the laborers and
the prices of farm products, it's ad-
vocates now offer a new policy,
which will diminish the value of
money in which wages and products
are paid Against both of these we
stand opposed. Our creed embraces
an honest dollar, and an unfair
nished national credit, advocates
revenue for the uses of government,
protection to labor, preservation of
the home market and a reciprocity
which will extend to our foreign
markets.
= Upon this platform we stand
and submit its declaration to the
sober and considerable judgment OF
the American people.
Let the farmers and workingmen
remember that W. J. Bryan, the
Popocratic nominee for president,
voted in congress for the ''ruinous
policy which has brought down the
wages OF the laborers and the prices
of farm products" and that he is
now advocating "a new policy
which will diminish the value OF
money in which wages and products
are paid. "

A wealthy R.Llro.d Fireman.

a young man in blue overalls and 4
greasy cap and jacket is now employed
as fireman on the Long Island railroad.
He is George ID. Pratt, the son of the
late Charles Pratt, the multi-miljionaire
Standard Oil prince. Young Pratt was
graduated from Amherst college with
honors in 1893. AS one of the repre-
sentativcs of his fathers estate, who
is the second largest stakeholder of the
Long Island Railroad company. he pro-
poses TO learn the railroad business
through every grade, from laborer up.
He started in the car shops at Morris
Park, and after service at the bench,
the forge and in the assembling-room,
he learned how to use tools. how every
part Of locomotive is made, and how
the whole is put together. After hav-
ing served the requisite apprenticeship
in that department., he jumped into the
locomotive cab and commenced SHOW
cling coal in the capacity of fireman.

Praying for Death, tho Lover Struggled
Against 1t W hen Menaced.
A curious case of nervous hallucina-
ton is reported in the London Tele.
graph. At Bordeaux recently hyster-
ical Frenchman visited the tomb where
his beloved was laid. Carrying lighted
candle and kneeling by her coffin, he ex-
claimed passionately: would l could
die! Would could diet" just then the
wind closed the door and cXtinguished
the light. The bereaved lover who had
just prayed for death rushed for the
door; he could not open il; be tore at
it, knocked, kicked, struggled, calling
loudly for help. No answer. only the
utter silence and darkness Of the tomb.
His wish to die was forgotten. He sank
down and wept; his tears were not for
his beloved. but for himself. He felt
the pangs OF hunger; he thought of his
candle and cut it into four parts. he
ate the first quarter the first day, the
second quarter on the second day, the
third on the third day. and the last
quarter on the fourth day. No more,
and he must die of starvation. He made
one more desperate effort to open the
door, when il suddenly opened and the
keeper of the cemetery stood before
him; the sunlight blinded him, and he
fell from exhaustion. lie had been
there Just four hours.

ARTIFICIAL LIN BS.
Improvements Which Make Their Use
Hardly Noticeable.

Improvements Which Make Their Use
Hardly Noticeable.
PainstakiIg skill and constant i'm
provement are necessary factors in the
perfection or success of almost any in
dnstry, but nowhere, says the New
York Mail and Express, are they more
fully attended than in the making of
artificial limbs. There was time when
the lame and the crippled had to show
their defects and misfortunes To- the
world. Now it is just the other way.
People with artificial legs can now walk
so perfectly as to avoid detection, and a
person with a single amputation can
almost defy detection. Improvements
make it possible to move the knee and
ankle joints, and this innovation also
strengthens the whole limb and makes
il more durable.
One of the latest Improvements is i'm
the knee joint of the leg for thigh am
putation, which is so arranged that
when in sitting position the cord and
spring are entirely relaxed. thus re-
lieving all strain and pressure. There
are in the United States 10000 persons
who have to be supplied with new limbs
on an average of once in every five to
eight years. The manufacturing of
these articles in New York has become
quite an enterprise.

The "Crime" Of 1873.

The Bryanites are fond of abiding
TO the coinage act of sixteen years
ago as the crime Of 1873. and of
charging that it was secretly rushed
through congress by sort of under
ground railway route. that it never
received fair debate, and that very
few people in or out of congress
knew anything of its provisions. All
this is false. 1t was under consider
alton nearly three years and was
fully discussed in the senate and
house. The Brooklyn Standard
Union gives the following record of
its steps toward enactment:
is7O-April a5-submit ed to the senate by the
secretary OF the treasury.

This disposes of the yarn about
''stealthy" legislation. Men who
have since become silverites were
in favor OF the act, advocated it, and
voted for it. and no measure ever
received more fair and free discus
sion. But many of the Bryanites
will probably stick to their fabrica-
tion as long as the campaign lasts,
as they seem utterly reckless OF
their regulations for truth and
honor.

A RETURN of the good times of
1892 is what the people want.

THE New York Mail and Express

In one case the people go to see
Bryan and in the other they go to

is matter of sightseeing and in
the other a matter of truth seeking.
