Commenting upon the large number
of democrats, many of whom have been
prominent in the councils of their party
who have come out openly in favor Of
Mckinley and sound money, an eastern
writer puts it pertinently and appropri-
ately when he says that, the circum.
stances of the present political situation
lift the issue beyond party, and elimin.
ate for the time the words Repubicanism
and Democracy from political nom.
enclature, and in their place put simply
these: "Our country, its welfare. its
honor and its dignity"

Bryan has had much to say about
what he is pleased to call the common
people of this country. Sam Randall,
son ofthe former speaker of the house,
in a late speech in New York, took
issue with Mr.. Bryan, declaring that the
American people are not common peo-
pie, that the Anglo-Saxon race is the
most enlightened, progressive, intelli-
gent and civilized people in the world,
and if Mr.. Bryan wants to find the
common people he must 60 the Sand

Andrew Lee, populist candidate for
governor, in speech at Frederick few
days since, admitted that free coinage
of silver would decrease the value OF
pensions paid to the veterans, and said
they ought to be patriotic enough to give
that much to the government. This re
mark has not increased his popularity

ITALIAN ANTIQUITIES.


An Underground Trade in Them in
Spite Of Legal IntsrdIotlons'
Some days ago a well-known dealer
In antiquities offered for sale to the
Louvre museum, in Paris, splendid
collection Of ancient silver vases from
Italy or Greek or Italian workmanship,
says the London News. The museum
was unable to pay the price asked
EGO, 000-and declined the bargain. The
italian minister Of education, having
learned Of this, has taken proceedings
under the Pacca law against Sig. di
Frisco, the owner Of these antiquities.
The latter is q large land owner at
Bosco Reale. He secretly made excava-
lions on his estate and found twenty
eight silver vases of remote antiquity.
Notwithstanding the Italian law pro-
hibiting owners OF antiquities from
sending them out Of the country with
out leave, or, rather, on account Of this
law, which prevents old works OF art
from commanding anything like their
natural price in the impoverished coun-
try, Sig. di Frisco struggled his find
out Of Italy and offered 1t to Paris
dealer for $4,000. Continuing mean
while his search, he found other silver
vases, which duly joined their fellows
in Paris, and the whole lot was offered
to the Louvre. The italian minister Of
education throws interesting light on
the facilities which underpaid officials
are supposed to afford Illicit exporters
of antiquities. He issues notification
that, should any officials be found to
have connived at this latest evasion OF
the Pacca law, they will be criminally
prosecuted.

meetings in great crowds. BY giving
their gatherings this international
character the army has brought with
in its influence many people who
would otherwise have remained away
Often when a little family Of Swedes
or Polanders, for instance, have sat
through one of the Singing Battalion's
concerts one of the men will leave his
seat and, stepping up to the young Off
Ger who happens to wear the costume
Of his country, address her in his own
language His delight is touching
when he hears her kindly response in
his own familiar tongue. The dia-
logue, which is as much enjoyed by
one as the other, usually ends by the

and volunteering to sing for them re-
ligious songs with which they have
been familiar since childhood.

titudes show them to be interested IN
what one of them is saying.
Farther up the canyon there IS a
large cliff and behind it at intervals
can be seen flashes of light. Thunder
follows and the earth beneath your
feet will shake. Possibly one OF the
flashes may throw you to the ground,
and you can hear the Kissing OF SER
penis near by. If you happen to be
in the right place you can hear a grind
ing sound and a rock on top Of cliff
will swing outward. But 1t won't fall,
as the next shake will swing it back.

just related are likely to befall the

the banks of the Rhine will appear
perched on its summit. When near
enough, soft muilled sound OF foot
steps will DO heard. What is 1t? BY
looking carefully procession of pam
theirs can be seen walking around the
cone shaped mountain, as II guarding
the castle on the summit.
Round ard round they go, looking
neither to right nor left, and though
considerable noise is made they Will
not notice 1t. Many old hunters say
that 1t Is possible for a man to walk
right across the line and the panthers
will not attack him.
Farther up the canyon are numerous
gulches into which the moonlight falls.
One Of them has sort Of overhanging
ledge and beneath 1t appears crowd
of men. Surely they are talking, for
their arms appear to move, their heads
turn from side to side Some have on
white clothes and others appear to
be Of different colors. A peculiar
sound like the murmur of voices fills
the air.
BY climbing q small canyon to the
left the most startling sight in the
mountain can be seen. Surely 1t Is not
Of this world. The canyon suddenly
terminates In a gulch that crosses it
from side to side. At first sight 1t is
only an abyss Of inky blackness. Lis
ten! A peculiar rumbling sound can
be heard and from the profound depth
a white robed figure will appear; then
another and another, until there is a
whole procession Of ghosts passing
over the brink.
Many of them will wave their arms,
as If reckoning the observer While
this is going on clouds will appear to
float In from the sides and perhaps
thunder will be heard in the distance.
But the procession moves on and
passes up a canyon and finally disap-
pears over cliff. Silence will follow
and the act will be repeated. This
canyon cannot be traversed farther,
but Ly turning back and entering a
small valley on the other side three
giants can be seen in conference. They
are sitting close to tree and their at

Wild animals by the thousands come
right out of the solid rocks. Fishes
with legs come from the. lakes and
drown all within their reach. Fire and
smoke and horrible groans and howls
all the air on all sides.
To see the weird aspect of this I'M
canny region is best to select that time
of the month when the moon is full.
The most interesting portion is in a
CANYON that opens on the north side
of the range, and If an explorer will
manage to get about ten miles into
this during the daytime, and, after Sc
lecting a quiet spot, wait for the moon
to rise, he can have an experience he
will never forget. But don't go unless
your nerves are strong.
In most parts of the world silence
comes with the night. Just the reverse
seems to be the case in the Supersti-
ton mountains. Or is this magma
ton? But suddenly the air is rent
with the most unearthly shrek that
cver fell on mortal ears. Again and
again it comes and rolls and echoes
through the canyons, getting weirder
with each reverberation. The cry is
taken up on all sides until the NOUN
kains seem like pandemonium.
But nerve yourself and pass on. Keep
10 the bottom of the canyon and you
will be in no danger of fall. Silence
will come again and if you keep on you
will soon come to cone shaped noun
sain rising before you. Approach clos
q and a castle is perfect as any on

Indians, and never was name more APP
propriate. OF course the educated
man Of today knows all of the strange
and weird phenomenon to be seen there
are the result of natural causes and
can be easily explained, but the poor
Indian who knows not these things can
hardly be blamed for having whole
some fear of any part of the range,
The stories the Indians tell Of the
Superstition mountains would take
months to repeat, but the idea Of all
Of them seems to impress the fact that
the arch field who presides over the
domain has hatred of the red man
and is constantly laying traps to de-
stroy him. All who enter the realms
Of horror do so at the risk Of never
coming back, and all who do come
come back have some new tale to add
10 the already long list. The most ter
rible things told of are the swinging
stones that turn out from the walls Of
canyon and crush the passer by.
Then there are places where the ghosts
dance; trees that reach out their
branches and entangle all who come
near them. There are caverns filed
with witches and devils and awful
birds that make the strangest sounds.
