At the Auditorium.

In the great Auditorium where the Re-
publican national convention was held Mr..
Bryan was greeted by over fifteen thou
sand people; every seat was occupied. the
aisles were packed and thousands were
turned away. In part Mr.. Bryan said:
Politics, my friends, is at times serious
business and politics this year is a more
serious business than in any year through
which we assembled here have ever passed.
Whenever great party solemnly declares
that the control of our financial policy
shall be transferred from the American
people over into the. hands OF foreign ma
tons it raises a serious issue which must
be settled by the American people. CAP

is a coward. They tell you that gold IL
you that they cannot furnish the gold even
If you ask for it. And what excuse did
they give? Do they tell you it is because
the nations of the earth are scrambling
for this gold until it becomes too scarce?
No; they blame it to agitation. Gold Is
tation exists because. gold was scarce De-
fore agitation began.
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan spoke of the
practice of some banks which refused to
extend notes unless the man who wanted
the time extended would promise to vote
for the gold standard. and or corporations
that coerced their employees 10 vote that
way He also explained the "kothschild
bond deal" and then added: They say
that we out here don't know much about
finances. But, my friends, we are pretty
good judges of common honesty and public
decency The Wall-street millionaires had
called the Secretary IF the Treasury be-
fore them and told him what he must do.
He thought the time had come for revers-
ing matters and called the hnanciers be-
fore the Secretary of the Treasury. You
saw this cannot be DONE he continued.
Then my friends, if we have reached that
point where there are few people whom
we dare not offend, If there is anybody
who says that we have reached that point,
then / tell him that he has raised before
this country a graver issue than either
platform mentioned. He has raised the
question whether this Is "A democracy or
a plutocracy." In conclusion he said: We
are not willing to abide by the decision
rendered by Wall street; we are not willing
to abide by financial policy dictated by
foreign nations but we are wiling 20 SUBJ

American peopie."

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Porocrats Hope to Keep the Repub-
Iican Majority Below 10000.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 12.-The State
and congressional elections take place on
Monday. From the outset national issues
have been kept to the fore. Democrats
concede that the Republicans will VIM the
only question being the size of the plurali-
ty. and they profess that they will be con-
tent if 1t does not exceed 10000. Republic
ans predict falling off in the Democratic
vote. owing to the dissatisfaction with the
declara ton of the State convention on the
money question: which induced the first
nominee of the convention for Governor
to decline. his place on the ticket being
filled by NJ p. Frank. IT is believed by
Republican leaders that most of the gold
standard Democrats will vote for Clifford
while the remainder will stay away from
the polls. However. few estimate the Re-
pIb,ican plurality nigh as 25, 600. Speak
er Reeds reelection by the largest

Thieves Gain Esteem.
What is the origin of this usage?
Religion, which has SO much power
over peoples and which proves SO OBJ
stinate in preserving ancient customs.
has certainly contributed to maintain
it among the more barbarous part of
our populations; we see quasi-official
proof of it at Lorette. Those wh9 cul-
tivate devotion for saint believe that
by engraving his image on their flesh
they will give him a proof, clear tes-
timony, of their love. We know that
the Phoenicians marked the sign of
their divinity ON their foreheads
(Ewald, Judaischen Alterthum, 81; in
the Marshall islands they have to ask
the permission of the gods to tattoo
themselves; and the priests alone in
New Zealand perform the Office Of tat
tooing (Scherzer). Lubbock adds to
this that a woman who does not bear
tattoo mark cannot enjoy eternal
felicity. The women of Britain tat
tooed themselves in obedience to re-
ligion (Pliny, 33).
The second cause is the spirit of imi-
tation. A Lombard soldier answered
me laughingly one day when rallied
him on his having spent small SUM
to spoil his arm. "See, monsieur, we are
like sheep; and when one of us does any
thing we all initiate him ut once, even
If we risk doing ourselves HARM"
Love of distinction also has its influ-
ence. a thief of the most incorrigible
sort, who had six brothers tatooed like
himself, implored me, although he was
half covered with the oldest tattoo
marks, to find him professional tat
tooer to complete what might well he
styled the embroidery of his skin.
when the tattooing is very curious
and spread all over the body" he told
me, ''it is to us other thieves like the
black cloak of society with decora-
tons; the more we are tattooed. the
more we esteem one another; the more
a person is tattooed, the more infln-
cnce he has over his compan-
ions. On the contrary, one who
Is not tattooed has no influence; he is

contest with Cronus for the sovereignty
of Heaven-a myth which seems to
poin. to Pelasgic origin Of the games.
The Acheans coveted the honor for
their hero Aureus, and Strabo for the
Etolians. More widely credited was
the belief that the games were estab-
lished by the Cretan Hercules. who in
play challenged his brothers to run q
race, and to crown the victor with a
branch of wild olive. To the interest
of the Dorians was the myth of Apollo
outrunning Hermes and Ares. But
such myths do not necessarily imply a
remote antiquity for the events to
which they give poetic coloring. 1t
is more to the point that Homer de-
scribes several of the contests repre-
scented afterward in the great national
