Election Estimates.

Estimates Of the result of the election
are interesting, but they satisfy nobody
even when they are based upon the OBJ
servatons of the clearest-headed political
observers. On last Saturday, Sem
ator Butler chairman of the pop
ulist national committee, publish
ed an estimate in which he named twen-
ty-nine states, having 232 electoral votes
eight more than is sufficient to elect
which, in his opinion, Mr. Bryan is a.
most sure to carry. The estimate is
very conservative one. and yet the repub-
leans find no difficulty in picking out of
the list six states, having sixty electoral
votes which. they insist will give repub-
lican majorities.
On Monday Senator Quay, Of the re-
publican national committee, made a
statement over mis- own signature, in
which he claimed for Maj. Mckinley ga
electoral votes. He of course claimed
some of the states which the democrats
are quite certain will give their electoral
votes to Mr.. Bryan.
The reports which are received from
states which are regarded as doubtful
are very confusing. 1t is claimed by
those who have had large experience in
previous presidential contests that there
never was a presidential campaign con-
corning the result of which it was so diff
hcult to form a satisfactory opinion. In
the doubtful states the farmers and
workmen, as a rule, are not committing
themselves to either of the candidates.
They attend the political meetings Of all
the parties and appear to take a deep in
terest in the arguments for and against
silver, but it is a difficult matter to get
them to name the ticket for which they
intend to vote. This is the testimony of
some of the most reliable agents that
have been sent throughout the doubtful
states, and it is what makes the esti-
mates made by the political managers of
such little value.

The international Missionary Alliance
is making a wonderful record of collec-
tions for the cause Of foreign missions.
Three months or so ago, at a convention
held by the alliance at Old Orchard Me-,
collections aggregating $101,5O9 were made
in a single day, and later on in a single
day in New York city the alliance collect
ed $4,000. But neither of these was as
great an occasion, from the financial
committees standpoint, as the convention
of the alliance at Carnegie hall, New
York city, on last Sunday. At that time
cash and valuables, in the shape of notes,
jewelry, etc, to the value of $4,000 were
piled up before the collectors. The scene
when the contributions began to pour in,
is described as thrilling. Money, watches
and jewelry were piled on the platform
by men and women, who pulled rings off
their fingers and tore diamond pins off
their clothing, and scrambled for chance
to add them to the pile. The managers of
the conventions have evidently learned
the secret of moving people to the highest
pitch OF enthusiasm.

The most surprising thing about the
alleged flibustering craft that sail from
these waters is the wonderful carrying
capacity they develop when they become
filibusters. A case in point is presented
by the Brunswick tug Dauntless. She is
just an ordinary model tug boat She
was not designed for carrying freight.
and pretty much all Of her hull is filled
with machinery. She is only 1O2 feet long.
and has a net tonnage OF fraction more
than seventy-six tons. Yet we learn
through the New York Herald's CORE
spendence that on her last flibustering
trip the Dauntless actually carried 10
Cuba and landed there 200 men and four
car loads Of arms and ammunition, be-
sides a considerable quantity Of electrical
machinery, medicines and dynamite. I'm
der ordinary circumstances a tug OF the
Dauntless class would find her decks and
houses uncomfortably crowded with one
hundred men on board, and one car load
Of freight in addition would sink her to
the gunwales.

She Knew WIIIiam,s STYLE.

slender, pale-faced little woman in
mourning attended a spiritualstic seance
at the rooms of Market street museum
the other evening, says the San Francisco
Post.
Materializations had been advertised and
the little woman confidently whispered to
the medium that she would like to see the
departed William. She was overjoyed to
learn that William was on hand when
wanted-the first time since she had known
him-and, when a few minutes later a
shadowy form appeared in the cabinet, she
trembled with mingled fear and Joy.

lMhent and silver.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

1t is a pity that the farmers do not get
the full benefit of the improved prices
OF wheat resulting from the partial fall
ure of the crops in the other great wheat
producing countries A large part of our
holdings OF wheat has gone into the
hands OF Spectators. But the rise In
prices comes in good time to crush the
life out Of the populist argument that
the price of wheat is in any wise de-
pendent upon the price of silver. Silver
continues to go down as wheat goes up.
Prices are regulated always and forever
by supply and demand. There is too
much silver and it drops in price. There
is too little wheat, and IL advances in
price. There Is no concurrent move
ment in the price Of either commodity
which does not result from concurrent
causes.

A Bryan and Sewall club has been or
ganized at Yale University, and the club
has passed resolutions apologlzing to Mr..
Bryan for the rudeness of certain Yale
students towards him during his recent
visit TO New Haven. This ought to close
the incident At the same time, 1t would
appear that apologies are now due to
Yale by certain newspapers that have
lately been fiinging mud at that splendid
institution.

Rice planters who have been fortunate
enough to save their crops or parts of
them in uninjured condition ought to be
able to realize good prices for their rice
This seasons crop in Louisiana has been
cut short owing to the drought, and the
crops in Georgia and the Carolinas have
been reduced materially by the storm OF
two weeks ago, and the tidal waves of the
present week. The supply. therefore. will
be smaller than was calculated upon even
few weeks ago, and prices may nat
urally be expected to rule high.

The United States have several claims
against Spain for damages sutained by
American citizens during the current war
in Cuba, and Spain is demurrng in the
matter of paying them. There is one cheap
and powerful manner in which Uncle Sam
can bring the naughty don to his senses
quickly; let him relax his vigilance in pre-
venting filibustering expeditions, and
Spain will quickly see the advantage Of
paying UP.

Alabama has just sent three lynchers
to the penitentiary for life. This is no.
tice to the world and to other people
in the state who may be inclined to deny
the supremacy of the courts and the law,
that lynching is regarded in Alabama as
a crime of the first class, and that it can
and will be punished.

P. P. p, Lippman's Great Remedy, Saves
Man From Becoming Cripple.

Mr.. Asa Ammons, a well known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by terrible ulcer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. just when it seemed that
Mr.. Ammons would become a disa bled
and crippled man, he tried P. P. p,

suit was wonderful

The rumor has been revived that Mr..
Bryan has promised Gov. Stone Of Mis-
souri, place in his cabinet in the event of
his election. Two weeks or so ago Mr..
Bryan himself put an end to a story of
the kind by asserting positively that he
had not made any promises to anybody.
This time, however. the st. Louis Repub-
lie which is supporting Mr. Bryan, says
the story has a much more substantial
basis than mere rumor."

Getting over Their Prejudice.

The Houston Post, commenting on the
position that is being taken by the ne
groes on state issues in that state, says:
The campaign in this state presents the
encouraging spectacle OF a large number
of the more Intelligent negroes of Texas
anigning themselves in state matters with
the democratic party and supporting Gov.
Culberson and the democratic state ticket
for local reasons"
The Post makes the statement that the
indications are that fully a third, prob
ably half, of the negroes of the state will
vote the regular democratic state ticket.
In this state 1t is believed that a very
large proportion of the negroes cast their
ballots for the democratic ticket in the
recent election. They did this notwith-
standing the fact that the republican lead
er in this state issued a circular letter ad-
vising them to vote the populist ticket
The course pursued by the negroes in this
state and the course that many of them
are reported to have decided upon in Texas
indicates that they are getting over their
prejudice against the democratic party
They are thinking for themselves. They
know that the bulk Of the wealth and intel
ligence in the south is in the democratic
party. and they are beginning to see that
it is for their interest to be on the side
of those who rule in state, county and city
matters. 1t may not be many years be-
fore their vote will be pretty evenly dl-
vided between the two great parties on
national issues.

The republican managers are evidently
becoming alarmed about Illinois, Indiana
ana Michigan. During the last few days,
orders have been sent by Mark Hanna
and his heutenants to republican SMELL
binders in other states, ordering them to
me states named Immediately. And the
orders went by telegraph at that; the
fastest mail was too slow to bear the or

made the managers impatient to think
mat they could not transfer the speakers
by telegraph also.

P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.

" Jacksonville, Fla, July /, 1885,
Two years ago 1 had the worst ulcer
on my leg l ever saw. 1t had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inaamed The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said l had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage l commenced to take P. P. P.
and to battle my leg with hot CASTLE
soap suds. 1t began to improve at
once and healed rapidly, and is to-day
a sound and useful leg.
Il think P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all man could ask for as
blood purifier, as l have known it to
cure so meterrible cases of blood poi
soning in remarkably short time.

Chicago newspaper is taking a pos
tai card ballot in Illinois on the presden-
tial election. SO far Mr. Bryan has been
voted for by about "a per cent of the
slgners Of the postal cards. That is a very
good showing for him to make, when it is
considered that in postal card election
it is possible to let the opposition canGi-
date down with 10 per cent. or even
per cent. of the vote cast.

Monday is the annual town meet ing day in Connecticut, and Newtown, in common with other towns, will choose a full list of officers from town clerk and selectmen, down to the smallest office in the gift of the people at this time. The democrats have called their caucus for Saturday evening. At the last repubi- can caucus held, the sentiment vas ex- pressed by local leader, of this party that no town ticket would be placed in the field, provided the citizens caucus placed names in nomination that were satisfactory to the republicans. The citizene. VIC are informed, caucus this [Friday) evening. The outlook, then is that there will be two tickets in the field, and it will remain with the sovereign voters to decide who they will have to rule over them. Ifg0ssips, are right the democrats will reuominate practically the ticket which won at the polls, last year.
 The annual business meeting at the town meeting on Monday comes at ? o'clock, when the report of the select nc"n, town treasurer, etc, will b2 made
