lands "Dockery," Inspector Pierce, he
made away with the goat.
The goat was caught while in Uncle
Georges possession and has since been
fattening on the lawn OF ex-Mayor DR..
George c. Pardee. AS the doctor is coun-
sci for the defense he will have the goat in
as good condition as possible for the pur-
pose of arguing that while in the keeping
of the defendant the animal was carefully
tended.
The trial has been arranged for the bene-
fit of the Unity Club of the Unitarian
Church, and as nearly every seat has been
sold there will be a very handsome sur
plus. The talent is of high order, and
although some of the performers are q lit
tie out of their usual element, each one IS
capable of creating merriment, and that
is the thing desired. OF course, the
merriment will not be very loud, for Oak
land society will be there and Oakland So
ciety is not very demonstrative.
But Major Fred Whitney and Alexander
Rosborough and Judge Stephen G. Nye
will be well rewarded for their witticlsms,
for the dainty little hands will clap, and
when the goat takes charge of the stage,
as 1t is billed to do OF three separate
occasions, the gallery will make up in
volume of sound for the moderation of
the orchestra and dress circle.
The entire cast is as follows:

Concerning Mckinley.

The nomination of Major Mckinley
would be a victory for the whole
people, for it is no secret that the in
huential politicians and especially the
leaders in both branches of congress
are averse to him. There is little
avowed opposition for prudential rec :
sons, but these men talk plainly
enough to friends. They say Major
Mckinley is over-rated in point Of
intellect. This is possibly true, if
comparison is made with veterans
like Sherman, Allison, Reed and other
giant figures living and dead in the
party. But intellectual strength is
not the only quality to be sought in a
president. Mckinley was able enough
to be repeatedly governor of Ohio to
great acceptance and to make a SUBJ
stantial record in congress. He is an
all-round man, with fresh, ringing
Americanism about him that has
brought him very near the people.
To our thinking the chief danger in
his promotion lies in his possible in
depreciation of it as a call to the high
est tariff, something on which our
people look with moderated views as
industrial conditions shift, foreign
trade broadens and the country grows
older. But it is we'll known truth
that Office makes men conservative,
and the Ohio statesman can be
trusted to legislate wisely and for the
best interests of all sections and all the
people. Mckinley IS a man of char
acter, of experience, in the prime OF
life He will give the nation a Wig
orous, honest, substantial admins
tration. And to secure his election
the people will turn to him with an en-
thusiasm not witnessed since the
days when Blaine campaigned. This
is attested by the tumultuOus, insist
ent way in which they have knocked
down pins set up by the bosses in
many states. In only three have his
opponents prevailed = New York,
Pennsylvania, Iowa. There will be
this advantage, too, over the Blaine
campaign, that there will beno bitter
ness or divisions in the party and no
bugbears such as malicious men
created to divorce support from
Blaine on the score of character and
record -Mddison Journal

COMMENTING on the Malone-Ram-
busch libel suit, The Waukesha
Freeman says:
1t seems highly improbable that
Malone can collect any damages on
the complaint that is made against
Rambusch. His structures on Ma
lone were no more severe than occur
frequently in all political campaigns.
A little abuse and the privilege OF
calling the other fellow names IN a
political campaign has heretofore
been regarded as one OF the great and
inalienable rights of the press. To
remorselessly lop off that right would
be to take half the ginger out OF the
contest.

afternoon

Lincoln j. Carter's superb scenic
production, 1.-THE Fast Mail" which
will be presented at Turner Opera
house. this evening, is one of the most
successful plays put upon the stage in
recent years. The story is thrilling,
and Justice is done the startling and
realistic scenes by a perfection of me-
chanical effects. Among other repro
auctions is a representation of an engine
room on Mississippi river steamboat,
with the furnaces under the boilers
fired up; train of cars shoots across
the stage in one scene, and in another
inspiring representation of Niagara
Falls by moonlight, with the singing
waters and graceful mist that rises
above and about it. The company is
said to be excellent.
The following extract from the
diary kept by Mrs. Eliza Cole while in
San Francisco the past winter, under
date of February %, contains the names
of some people in whom many of our
older residents will have an interest:
The day passed away very pleasantly
in making preparations for home re-
ception Of my Watertown old friends.
The guests were: Mrs. Waldron, "a
sister of Mrs. A. V. Off, and her
daughter, Mrs. Eva Hyman; Mrs.
John Levet and daughter Ella; Mrs.
Bishop and sister, Mrs. Underwood,
daughters of the late Peter Rogan; Mrs.
Gilbert, nee Kitty Greene. Mrs. Jud-
son Prentice and sister, Mrs. Minor,
were invited, but could not be present.
Oscar and /, as the hosts, besides three
lady friends of the house, made up
the company, We had music and
singing and a jolly good time. Wine
and other refreshments were served
The rooms were made fragrant with
fresh cut flowers and ornamented with
home pictures. 1t was a social event
long to be remembered by me.

The Daily Times is certainly in error
When it says that "a small traction of
the Republican press of the state has
been for some time engaged IN the
proftless task of opposing the renom-
ination of Governor Upham." That
fraction" is pretty large when it is
enumerated, and it embraces some of
the most influential state papers. Look
over your exchanges carefully and see
if you are not mistaken, neighbor, AS
for the task being "profitless," that
remains to be seen. Seems to Us the
opposition is pretty strong and marked
thus early.

THERE IS NOW NO ISSUE But MONEY.
All Others Are Minor Affairs, He Says,
that May be Settled at Any Time
The Money Question Must

ERIE, Pa, Aug. s7.-William ]. Bryan
made his fourth and last speech in
Erie, and shortly after left for Buffalo.
where his headquarters will be for the
rest Of the week. The hard work OF
Wednesday did not show to any great
extent on the candidate when he ap-
peared on the Reed house balcony aud
addressed large crowd gath
cred there. His voice was some.
what hoarse, but otherwise he ap-
peared to be in good condition. The
three speeches delivered by Mr.. Bryan
in Erie Wednesday night showed his
versatility as an orator. lie talked
money to all his audiences. but couched
the same ideas in different phraseology
at each place. In the course OF his
spicy speech at St. Patricks auditorium
Mr.. Bryan said;
I'VE have got to take action. IL Is either
bimetallism or q gold standard. and its future
Is In the hand OF fate. There is no tissue but
money. II comes first. All others are minor
affairs They may be settled at any

must be settled now. What are We
