 hs was frequently In conflict on points of procedure During the memorable fight against the so called force bill MT. Crisp was the leader of his party on the floor, displaying remarkable self control, alert ness, boldness and patience In the oom- mittee room-and MT Crisp at one time or another was a member of all the inn portant committees-he showed unweary- ing industry and grasp of detail
 In the spring of 1886 MT. Crisp was chosen speaker pro tenn during the absence of Mir. Carlisle, and while serving in that capacity he made his first speech advo- eating the free coinage of silver.
 MT. Crisp had displayed such ability as a parliamentary tactician that he was se- lected by his party in the first session of the Fifty-first congress to make the fight against enforcing Speaker Reeds rules. The Republicans won in the end, but only after some of the most exciting scenes ev- CT witnessed in congress. When the Dem- ocrats secured majority in the next con- gress, Mir. Crisp was chosen speaker after a contest with Roger Q. Mills of Texas Mir. Crisp added to his reputation by the fairness of his rulings and his uniform courtesy, although he and Mir Reed some times olashed as of old.
 At the time of his death MT. Crisp was a candidate for United States senator from Georgia, and would undoubtedly have haen chosen to that honorable position.

PILGRIMS TO CANTON.

New Englanders Journey to the Republi-
 can Mecca to See Their Leader,
 CANTON, O., Dot. 2S.-A most inspir- ing scene was witnessed on the public square of Canton from to o'clock yes terday afternoon. Thousands of people, Including the ladies from Norwalk, many of the visitors from Boston, West Vir ginia, Maryland and Cleveland, gathered in front of the handsome courthouse on Broad public square and sang patriotic melodies, interspersed with music by the bands, frequent cheers and the waving of flags, banners and campaign parasols with which the women's delegOion was sup piled America" "Ya;sxee Doodle, l" "The Star Spangled Banner followed one another. Nor were "Dixie" and Maryland, My Maryland" forgotten. Both were sung as Justify and patriotioal- ly as was ".John Browns Body" and Marching Through Georgia" The affair was entirely impromptu and ended at 5 o'clock with Home, Sweet Home' from both the bands and the vast audience which had gathered first as spectators and then as participants in that great patriotic concert.
 The demonstration was full of beauties and features. It was notable for a large crowd. It was notable for the wide range of territory represented by the visiting delegations. It was notable for the varied interests of the people who came.
 In the first party were Is coaohloads, coming from eastern West Virginia, west ern Maryland and Martins Ferry, O., the latter delegation being composed of wom- en, coming with greetings for Major Mo. Kinley and with beautiful flowers for Mrs. Mckinley. Employees of three large Cleve- land manufacturing concerns were next upon the scene and when they gave way it was to make room for more Ohio peo- ple-men and women from Mingo Juno tion, O., the employees of large iron and steel plant and their wives and friends.
 After these came the New England dele gation, under the banners of the New England Sound Money club. This party occupied special train of six sleepers and two dining cars. The party came largely from Boston, but number of other New England towns were represented. It was composed of former Democrats as we'll as Republicans. The visitors were introduced by Frank W. Rollins, ex-president of the New Hampshire senate. Many relics and mementoes of the visit were brought for Mrs Mckinley from Boston, from New Bedford and from historic Salem, includ- ing whales teeth, twigs from tree plant ed by Governor Endicott in 1928 and a gold witch spoon.
 No prettier sight has been witnessed in the whole campaign than the reception of the Women's Mckinley club of Norwalk, O. This club of some 300 memb bers is splendidly organized and drilled and when on parade carries campaign umbrellas on which portraits of Mckinley and Hobart are conspicuous A reception committee of Canton ladies met the visitors at the station and, together with the Canton troop of horsemen, escorted them to the Mckinley home.
 Then came visit of five or six carloads of insurance men from Cleveland, who were introduced to Major Mckinley by A. R. Manning.

SPEAKER CRISP DEAD.
The Passing Away of a Prominent Ma
 tionRl Character.

ATLANTA. Oct. 24-The death of OK. Speaker Charles F. Crisp occasions great sorrow in this city and state and will b. deeply regretted throughout the nation MT Crisp died at the Halcyon sanitarium In this city, where he had been an inmate for several weeks. Though 1t had general ly been known that he was seriously i'll, his condition had not at any time been re garded as critical, and the news of his death was a painful surprise to his friends and admirers.
 Charles Frederick Crisp, although ol American parentage, was born on Jan. 29, 1S45, in Sheffield, England, where his parents, who were actors, were playing in a stock company. He was educated in tn. public schools of Savannah and Macon, Ga., and enlisted in the Confederate army the first year of the war, being then only Is years of age. He was a lieutenant ip lhe Tenth Virginia infantry when he was captured and taken to Fort Delaware as a prisoner. On his return to his home in Ellaville, Ga, after his release in June, 1865, he began to read law. Admitted to the bar in 1866, he soon built up a consid- erable practice. In 1872 MT. Crisp was ap- pointed solicitor general of the southwest ern judicial circuit of Georgia, and five years later he became a judge of the supe- rior court by appointment In 1878 he was elected judge by the general assem- bly and twice reelected. He resigned to accept the nomination for congress from the Third district, which was equivalent to an election.
 He served as a representative In con- gress until the time of his death. His knowledge of parliamentary law was not exceeded by that of any man in the house except perhaps Speaker Reed. with whom

Beauty Withers.

No one stands to study them. They are gathered In no vase. They are hung on no wall. So death smites many. There is no beauty in their departure. One sharp frost of sickness, or one blast off the cold waters, and they are gone. No tinge of hope. No phophecy of heaven. Their spring was all abloom with bright prospects, their summer thick foliaged with opportunities; but October came, and their glory went. Frostedl In early autumn the frosts come, but do not seem to damage vegetation. They are light frosts. But some morning you look out of the window and say, "There was @ black frost last night" and you know that from that day everything will wither. So men seem to get along with out religion amid the annoyances and vacations of life that nip them slightly here and nip them there. But after awhile death comes. It is black frost, and all is ended.
 Oh, what whitening and scattering death makes among those not prepared to meet itl They leave everything pleas ant behind them-their house, their families, their friends, their books, their piotures-and step out of the sunshine into the shadow. They quit the presence of bird and bloom and wave to go un- beckoned and unwelcomed. The bower in which they stood and sang and wove ohaplets and made themselves merry has gone down under an awful equinoo- tial. No bell can toll one-half the dole fulness of their condition Frostedi

The Bonding Privilege.

It Is sincerely to be regretted that the
present session Of congress is likely to
come to an adjournment without taking
steps to abrogate the bonding privilege
ilnder which the heavily subsidized rail-
ways Of Canada have been enabled for
years to rob American railways of traf-
flc properly belonging to the latter. But
the sentiment for the abrogation of this
privilege will continue its fight, and It Is
believed that relief will yet be achieved.
Some interesting figures bearing upon
the injustice of the bonding privilege in
its operation upon American transpor-
tation interests have recently been
made public by Francis Wayland Glen
For'the years 1893, 1894 and 1895 1t ap-
pears that no less than 1,31G,s52 cars,
containing 24,663329 tons of merchan-
disc, were diverted from American to
Canadian railways under the bonding
regulation. Mr. Glen shows that If the
loss in earnings to American railways
WIS only 12ih cents per 100 pounds. the
total loss for three years by reason Of
the bonding privilege was $50, 15S.322.

Why Stifle Competition =?

One of the arguments employed
among councilmen by the agents of the
Scranton Traction company In their ef-
fort to defeat the ordinance giving fran
chise rights to the Citizens Traction
company is that If the new street rail-
way system shall be permitted to have
competitive rights the Scranton Trac-
tion company will cease to earn its in
terest charges and those who hold its
securities will thereby sustain loss. The
thinness of such argument does not re-
quire much demonstration.
Most of the money invested in the
Scranton Traction company belongs to
outsiders. a very small percentage of
it's securities is held in this city. But
If all its securities were held here, would
city's streets? Has 1t paid anything to
the city for such a monopoly? Does its
franchise contain any clause protecting
1t against competition? Competition Is
the rule in private business circles.
Every merchant in Scranton has to en-
dure it. No merchant has yet asked
councils to give him exclusive rights in
his line of business. Such a proposition
would be hooted out of councils. Yet
the foreign-owned Scranton Traction
company, which has for years been
source of public complaint because of
its insufficient service and because OF
its poor equipment, now asks councils
to keep it in a monopoly of franchise
rights for which it makes no payment
save small pole-tax. 1t acts the dog
in-the-manger role, being able to oc-
cupy only portion of our streets and
unwilling that any other company shall
have what it ties up. 1t has even, in
one instance. offered to give bond Of
assurance to certain property owners
that 1t would never attempt to occupy
certain streettfor which it obtained
franchise. We refer to the extension OF
Linden street
The offer made by the iiew company is
fair and square. The, city can lose moth
Ing by accepting it. and if the company
carries out its agreements, the city will
greatly gain. The new company offers
to give bond that its road will be In
operation within two years after the
signing OF the ordinance II it does not
fulfilI this promise, it will forfeit both
franchise and bona. How, tlien. can
the city lose: On the contrary. even If
the road should never matcrialiZe, the
city would he ahead the amount OF the
bond. This offer, though, is bona fiic.
and It remains to he seen !f those Scran-
tonans who have been pretending 70
want a better street car service than
the one now afforded by the Scranton
Traction company are in earnest. This
Is their chance to demonstrate to coun-
ellis the existence of such q thing as
public sentiment.
