BRYAN7S ACCEPTANCE
The Candidates. Speech at Madi-
son Square Garden.

Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the COM
mittee and fellow citizens: i shall, at a
future day and in n formal letter, accept
the nomination which is now rendered by
the notification committee, and shall at
that time touch upon the issues presented
by tho platform. 1t is fitting, however,
that at this time, in the presence of those
here assembled, speak ut some length in
regard to the campaign upon which we
arc now entering We do not UNDER
estimate the forces arrayed against US,
nor are we uninindful of the Importance
of tho struggle in which we are engaged,
but relying for righteousness of our cause
we shall defend with all possible vigor the
positions taken by our party. We are not
surprised that some of our opponents, in
the absence of better argument, resort to
abusive epithets, but they may rest assured
that no language, however violent no
invectives, however vehement, will lead
us to depart single hairs breadth from
the course marked out by tho national
convention. The citizen, either public or
private who assails the character and
questions the patriotism of the delegates
assembled in the Chicago convention,
assails the character and questions the
patriotism of the millions who have ar
raycd themselves under the banner there
raised.
1t has been charged by men sta nding
high in these political circles that our
platform is a menace to private security
and public safety, and it has been asserted
that those whom have the honor, for the
time being, to represent, not only med
itate an attack upon tho rights of prop
erty, but are the foes of social order and
national honor.
Those who stand upon the Chicago plat
form are prepared to make known and to
defend every motion which influences
them, every purpose which animates them,
and every hope which inspires them. They
understand the genius of our institutions,
they are staunch supporters of heform OF
government under which we live and they
build their faith upon foundations laid by
others. Andrew jackson has stated, with
admirable clearness and with an emphasis
which cannot be surpassed, both the duty
and sphere of government. He said: "Dis-
tinctions in society will always exist un-
der every government. Equality of tai
ents, of education or of wealth cannot be
produced by human institutions. In the
full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and
the fruits of superior industry, economy
and virtue every man is equally entitled
to protection by law"

NARROW INCOME.

IT LII OVER THE LAND there are
women who for some sufficient
~ reason may not exc out their small
l. L means by working for hire, but
must live upon narrow income
within the limits of home. 1t is interesting
to know just how little will support the
actual wants of two such wonen-sisters,
say. or n mother and daughter, relying
upon q certain fixed sum every year. A
story which recently appeared in one of
the magazines treats of two sisters who
have an annual income of $3.50. besides
their house and garden. One of them does
a little sewing and with this small help
the two live in comparative comfort and
independence. They are good managers.
They grow their own vegetables, do their
own work, and exact full value for every
cent expended. Though poor. they are
quite above want. Many OF us know such
cases.
One instance is that of widow, an in
valid. and her only daughter, living in a
small village. They own. comfortable
house and an ample garden patch. Besides
that they have $3.50 year. The little
estate gives them shelter, vegetables,
fruit, and eggs. Berries may be had for
the picking in their season. Like most
country-bred women, these are skilled In
the use OF herbs. and make the simple
medicines or tonics they occasionally re-
quire. The $50 must pay for every other
necessary of life. Thirty dollars goes for
fuel Even in winter they have but two
steady fires; the upper rooms are heated
from the lower ones by means OF sheet
iron drums.
The house faces the south. and the sleep
ing chambersare always comfortably warm.
Repair, taxes, and insurance call for $50
more. The remaining $50 is made TO cover
every other household expense and leave Il
small balance for shoes, gloves, cotton, cloth,
and cheap house dresses. There is moth
ing left for books or magazines; the village
library supplies these. A windfaIl in the

Item of Society Gossip.

Like "A little nonsense now and then,'
a little sentiment is sincerely rellshcd In
society.
He is a tall, good-looking, well sct-up
chan, with honest ideas despite the fact
he is a trifle spoiled by pretty girls. and
maneuycring rnammas; 1t is an excellent
specimen of manhood.
He was on high horse at the club yester-
day, raving at matrimony, uttering epi-
grammatic phrases venerable as the hills,
with the air of springing new thing on his
companions.
Don't be so cynical, Charlie" said a
thin-haired old stager, who had known the
same mood after thirty seasons Give the
girlsa chance a nd giveme alight."
The younger man took from his pocket
n gold and enamel trifle made to hold
matches and tossed IL to his friend.
The ''old staecr" touched the spring OF
the box and disclosed, not phosphorus
tipped wax lighter. but two violets fairly
fresh and fastened with a single long golden
hair.
Fuel to the flame, no doubt" said
the old stag ger, as he returned the box, but
they'll hardly light my cigarette"
The laugh was on Charles the cynical.
