ss much as he grieved over the apostacy of Prince Boris of Bulgaria, while the king Is especially pleased at the manifesto tions of popular qualification over the marriage of the crown prince to the fair and stately Montenegran princess and sees in 1t new proof of the union of the nation with the House of Savoy. The civil and religious ceremonies occurred on Satur- day. The civil function was performed at the Quirinal by Premier Rudlni In his capacity of crown notary.
 King Humbert has given SEQ, 900 to the poor of Rome and has ordered the minis. ter of the household to give assistance to the poor of Italy on similar scale.
 The religious rites were performed at the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (St Mary of the Angels), one of Queen Margheritas favorite churches, on the Pi- aga Tormini, the Church of the Sudario, the property of the royal family, being too small, wbile the Paolina chapel, in the Quirinal, has remained closed since 1870, when 1t was placed under the Inter dict of the Vatican.
 The wedding procession left the Quiri- nal at 10 o'clock, passing through the Via Nazionale, which was lined with troops throughout.
 The oortege was preceded by strong escort of ouirassiers, and the royal car riages were surrounded by outriders The carriages occupied by the king and queen and the bride and bridegroom were each drawn by three pairs of the finest horses in the royal stables. Behind them came the royal guests, the diplomatic corps, the members of the municipality, etc, all in full dress and accompanied by their fam lilies.
 Military bands of music were stationed at every convenient point, and the streets, profusely decorated, were strewn with flowers. Large sums of money have been spent by the municipality for banners, flags, drapery and illuminstions, and the latter were upon more extensive scale than ever before witnessed even In Rome
 The Church of Santa Maria degli An. geli was richly decorated for the occasion. Only the invited guests were admitted, and the marriage ceremony was perform. ed by Mgr. Anzino, the oldest of the court ohaplains.
 After the ceremony the procession re turned to the Quirinal by the same route.
 The wedding presents are both numer- orus and superb, those of the ozar and ozarina being alone valued at about 5000, 900 lire. The princess is a great ia

 It would be well for those who are snaring game birds, and also for those who buy them, to look at the game laws of this state, as then those concern ed iu this unlawful business nigh, think it prudent to desist as it is a fifty dollar fine for every offense, and those who buy the birds are as liable to prose cution at those who catch them. There is game warden in this town who has been in nformed of this practice that is being made of snsring aud dealing in game caught that way, but for some unknown reason this protector of our game does not see fit to enforce the game laws although he is a sportsman and lets the work go on. while all the hunters are willing to help stop this unlawful bunting. They can do nothing if the game warden won't do his duty. It is hoped that the State game com. missioner will see tbls account and either appoint new game warden here or give this one few points about en. forcing our game laws, as the birds are disappearing too fast and have hard time of it now with the foxes and other animals which with the hard winters kill more than are shot.

The comments OF the Democratic press
generally have been most unfavorsble TO
the windy speech OF Candidate Bryan; in
fact. they have fearlessly placed the te-
dious twaddle just where It belongs.
The New York World says OF 1t:

ment OF others by our own feelings, MI.
Bryan speech in this city must nave

and expectations. While anxious 10 take

periOr. Mr.. Bryan's speech lacked Dig
nifty, consistency, elevation OF thought,
craftsmanship. There was too much OF
assertion without poof. OF convictions
having no visible foundation. HIS words
were those OF politician appealing to
Ignorance rather than 20 reason-to pas
sion and prejudice rather than to princi-
pie"
We especially commend this TO gen

speech as the greatest utterance that
ever fell from human lips, and then

one OF the campaign documents put
out by the Popullst-Democrats Is taken
from the statistics OF employment in the
censs Of 1890. In this statement those
engaged In agriculture are put down at
S4i9,9iS, or 315S per cent or the whole o.
1861 persons classified.
The object OF this is TO show how great
the number is Of persons who are engaged
I'm agriculture. who are therefore assumed
as devotees to FREQ snvcr-the proposed
remedy for agricultural depression.
The merit OF free silver 10 the farmer
IS, we believe. the hope that It will put
mp prices BY putting down the value
Of the dollar. and that the farmer will thus
get a higher price FOR his product, but
pay no more in the cheap dollars for his
labor than he does now in the present
gold standard dollar. That is. he will
take the profit out Of the laborer. This,
we think. is understood to be the modus
operand OF working the free-silver bust
ness on the agricultural laborer, but of
course. has nothing to do with the general
plan Of treatment for creditors, which viii,
however. be on the same line.

ment did not. however state that of the

Surprising. therefore that the sons and
daughters constitute one-half of this
class. and that they arc in ere way or
another wage. earuors. though not on speci-
fed wages, we have the proprietary
farmers, specially interested in high prices
and low wages, at 25D.US, or about Il

hndeflled
For the maintenance OF the credit OF
.the country-public and private. national
State. and individual.
For the faithful observance of con-
rtracts made in accordance with the gold
STANDARD Of value. which has prevailed
IN this country for over sixty years.
/ For the continuance OF the gold stand
ard Of value, as that best for the in
lderests Of all the people OF this country.

For the use OF silver to the fullest ex-
aent consistent with the continuance OF

For free banking and the repeal of
Abe 10 per cent. tax on state-bank notes.
For the preservation Of law and order
and the greatest possible liberty Of every
scitizen consistent Herewith.
For honest elections as the safeguards

THE TIMES is
Against the taxation OF one citizen for

o. bounties OF protective tariff, or in
any other form.
Against any tax which creates classes Of
citizens and discrimlna;es in favor Of
one class as against another. All citizens

Against the free. unlimited, and indie

incalculable trouble and loss TO our
country.
Against all assumption OF authority or
Interference by Government IN the lawful
business Of citizens.
Against the Government ownership or
control Of railroads. telegraphs, or any
business which citizens can do.
Against the Government forbidding con-
tracts TO pay borrowed money in the kind
OF money borrowed, which have been

in themselves are just and right.

we saw the course VI silver before

doubtful II his election VIII produce much
Improvement in the value OF silver hui
lion. There are great stocks or silver
held by spectators who have been wait
ing for n frea-coinage candidate Tor
President to be elected, and all ,hese

Mr.. Bryan Is elected. This silver VIII
furnish all that the new demand for
silver money will make for some time.
But the prospect Of higher prices and the
certainty Of steady mra&et. at hast
for some time. will inevitably stimulate
production powerfully. The mines now IN
operation will be worked 10 their fullest
capacity and many mines when naVS
suspended operations will go INTO bisi-
ness again. Long before the stocks OF
silver now on hand arc e, hausfed. II Q
mines win no doubt be producing more
than can possibly be ABSORBED by the
financial system Senator Sherman
stated in an interview with Murat Hal
sted. published In last Sundays New
York journal. that he did not believe
the election OF Bryan would cause silver

When, therefore all the facts in tho
case are impartially looked at the proba-
bilities seem all to DO that the election Of
Mr.. Bryan will not cause much. II any,
rise in the value Of the silver dollar. and
that If there is any rise. 1t will be Of
very short duration.
The silver dollar will probably continue.
then, TO be worth only nfty-three cents
or less. Now apply It to the figures we
quoted in the outset Of this article. The
$3.50 100000 Of the 4S755l9 that the frugal
and Industrious people Of the country
have saved. will turn into something
like 100000 900. and one-half OF what these
people have earned and saved by in
dustry thrift and economy will disappear

Of what the insured expected his family
to get.
And who is 10 be benefited by ali this
loss and ruin brought upon the frugal
and Industrious people Of the country?
Absolutely no one but those who hope to
pay their debts with less than what
they borrowed, and tho owners OF silver
mines, who are 70 get steady and con-
slant market for their product.
We shall never believe that a people
as sensible and intelligent as the Amer
lean people are viii ever consent to this
measure OF selfdestrlction.
We viii have something 10 say here
after about Mr.. Byan's idea of what
the deposltors in savings banks should
