TALES OFF THE DAY.
BismarclS's Pipe.

One of the two greatest pipe collectors
that ever lived was the Marquis de
Waterville, whose smoking room in Paris
had the walls covered with costly pipes
some of them worth it is claimed as
much as f2,000, and all arranged with
great beauty of design. The other was
the well known Captain Bragge, of Lon
don, whose collection was valued at f100,-
600, who had agents in every known part
of the world and whose collection was
deemed worthy in 49, of being made a
special exhibit during the summer season
at the Crystal Palace.
Prince Bismarck is a great pipe col
iector, and the gem of Is collection has
a curious history. Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of FREDERICKSBURG with his two hounds
he was accosted by a Bohemian peddler
and asked to buy a plain meerschaum
pipe OF the type that Bismarck most af-
fected. AT first Bismarck declined, but
the .peddler claimed for the pipe power
of forecast and told him he would serve
three emperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life would
be foretold by accidents Detailing the
pipe.
Laughing. Bismarck bought the pipe
He has since served three emperors Two
days before. the historic moment when he
was refused an audience the stem of his
pipe separated and came to pieces. Later
he Clipped piece from the side of the
bowl and within a month he was practi-
cally dismissed by the present emperor.

GROWTH OF THE SILVER SENTT-
MENT.

Evidence accumulat ties on, every hand
that the free silver wave is sweeping
over the whole country and carrying
ali before it. The opponents of free
coinage are anything but positive that
they will carry the election. Only a
few weeks back and it was thought
that all the states east of the Missis-
sippi, with perhaps two or three ex
ceptions, would be for the gold ticket
that silver had no show. The free sill
yer sentiment is very fast pushing its
way towards the Atlantic, but no gold
sentiment is pushing its way westward,
or any other way. 1t will be as much
as the gold men can do to hold their
own in those states where they are
now believed to be in the majority;
they will have no time for aggression,
as it will all be taken up with defen-
sive operations.
Eastern men who are observers of
political affairs realize the great in
roads that silver is making where it
never had hold before the present
campaign. Thus the Right Rev.
Thomas McGovern, Catholic bishop of
the diocese of Harrisburg, Pa, in re-
cent interview said:
Il believe the Democrats will carry
every state in November west of Penn
syivania except California, and every
southern state, even Kentucky. A
month ago, my opinion is, they could
not have carried a single state. But a
great tidal wave is sweeping over the
country for free silver, to which we
may attribute this change in the con-
dition of affairs
The bishop himself takes a very SEN
sible view of the silver question, and
what he has to say shows that he has
given the matter thought Asked
whether he believed the prices of COM
modities would rise if we were to have
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l, as declared for by the Chicago
platform, he answered.:
Some commodities would probably
increase in price, but wages would also
rise Free coinage would also help our
manufacturers because they would be
better able to borrow money at fair
rates. Every man would be employed
and he would get his wages When
there are two employers after one man
wages are bound to go up, and when
there are two men after one boss for a
job you may be sure wages are going
down.
What right has Europe to dictate to
us what kind Of currency we ought
to have? If they are not willing to take
our currency, let them not buy our ex-
ports. But they are not going to lose
our trade They will accommodate
themselves to the circumstances. That

scale and go up and down just as
Europeans want our trade
1t will be bold man who will have
the temerity to say that Catholic
bishop is teaching anarchy, socialism
and revolution when he says he be-
lieves in free silver. Officials of the
Catholic church are generally consid-
cred to be as conservative on all mat
tiers of public Importance as it is pos
sible for men to be.
The growth Of the sentiment in ia
vor of the free coinage of silver is as
much a matter of astonishment to it's
friends as of CONSERVATION to its OPP
ponents.

The advocates of the single tax have

They are merely insisting upon their

SURPRISE M'KINLEY.
Bryan Committee Calls on Major NC
Kinley and Says Kind Words

Canton, o., Aug. 10.-The Bryan re-
ception committee from Pittsburg,
composed of about sixty prominent
Democrats of that cit and headed by
County Chairman Hawley and Mr..
Morris Forester, arrived in Canton
shortly before noon today and, finding
that they had nearly two hours to
wait before the Bryan train arrived,
decided to call upon Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Forester acted as spokesman for
the party on arriving at the governor 5
residence. He said that he believed
that any candidate for the president
was worthy of the greatest respect of
every one regardless Of political atffii
ations. The members of the delega-
ton had therefore called to pay their
respects and to make a friendly call
as American citizens.
In response the governor said: 7
am deeply grateful to receive this
friendly visit from the Bryan recep-
ton committee, although we are of
different political belief We are as
American citizens proud of our coun-
try and believe in common that we
have now and will continue to have in
the future the best country in the
worlG
''I sincerely thank you. gentlemen,
for this visit and assure you that it
gives me great pleasure
At the conclusion of his address Mr..
Mckinley greeted each member of the
delegation in person.

WORD FROM M'KINLEY.
Does Not Say Absolutely He VIII
Not Come-Renewed Efforts.

The Journal has received the follow
ing dispatch in response to a query of
Saturday concerning the report that
Major William Mckinley would not be
in Topeka this fall to attend the re-
union and festival:
Canton. O., Aug. 8-Editor State
Journal, Topeka, kan.:ATelegram re-
ceived; Major Mckinley has no present
intention of going West.
JAMES BOYLE, Private Sec'y.'
Major Anderson who secured a
promise from Major Mckinley to be
present during the reunion and festival
could not be found today, but Secre-
tary DOran of the committee of fifteen
was shown the telegram.
THAT is bad news said he, but we
do not intend to give up. We will still
try to have Mckinley come to Topeka.
When I read of the willingness of Mr.
Hobart to come to Topeka 1 thought
that perhaps some arrangement had
been made with Major Mckinley and
that he should come instead
Though Major Anderson was assured
by Major Mckinley, himself that he
would be present, he has since placed
himself in the hands of his committee
and the answers to letters have not
been favorable recently. One more eff
fort is to be made through a warm
friend of Major Mckinley and he may
vet consent.
