THE MAJORiTY WLL BE PHE-
NOMENAL.

Cook County Is likely to give n phe-
nomenal Republican majorlly this fall.
The so-callcd Democratic party Is
shattered and suplnc. With the solitary
exception of the able ana indefatigablc
Secretary of the Central Committee.
Robert T.. Burke not II man Is lifting

inactive, dlsorganizatlon Is reigning SUI
preme In every ward In the city.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
are everywhere aggressive, vlgilant
and active. They are nightly address
ing mass meetings In every part of the
city that are attended by thousands of
enthusiastic voters. Every precinct Is
thoroughly organized. the ward clubs
are In splendid condition, ana it Is safe
to say the heaviest vote ever rolled up
In this city will he gotten out to the
polls this time. Some guesses have
been made as to the plurality by which
Cook County will he carried this time,
ana some, like Chairman John NJ.

AGAINST THE FREE SILVER LUNACY

The Eagle cannot see its way clear to
support Bryan because u great ma Or-
ity OF It's friends are business men and
salaripd men.
l, Is idle to deny that about every
business man In Chicago. without refer
cnce tn past party affiliations. Is against
the free silver lunacy.
They are against 1t because II means
financial ruin aud business DISASTER.
and because 1t IL fathcrcd and fOstered
by the leading enemies of society with
In the republic.
The business man has gone through
enough without triiling with any px-
perimenis In national finances at this
time.
The salaried man has nothing what
ever to expect from the passage OF a
free silver law.
The free silver advocates admit this
fact. and do not claim that their
scheme will benefit men who support
their families OH salaries. They say
that the price of living will he higher.
and that the increase In the price of
living will benefit the farmer--tlic imam
who works for salary will have to
look out for himself.
He can do this To advantage by vot.
ing against free silver.

HORRIBLE TORTURE.
Awful Mode Of Death Visited Upon
Prisoners In M0rncco.

NhOFsSCCOe
A traveller who recently was forced to
flee from Fec, Morocco, to Tangier,
describes the horrible manner In which
prisoners are punished In the former
place. The prisoners, twelve In num-
Der, were brought into square and
tied to iron pillars which were fur.
nishcd with rings and chains. Then
from behind the judges or kadI's bench
the sultGn's barber entered, with Gilt.
tering knife held between his teeth. He
was followed by two others carrying
bags and two others, still. with baskets,
containing rawliidc. needles and Irvine.
Tho barber with his wife cut four
slices Of flesh from each hand Of the
criminals, cutting down to the bone.
The cavity thus made he filled with
salt from the bags, stuck his fingers
into the holes and then bound them up
tightly in rawhide. After that both
arms were chained between bars Of iron
20 that 1t was impossible for the pris.
oncr to bring them together. Irons were
also PIT TO the feet, and thus equipped
they were driven to dungeon, there to
rot and die under the most excruciatinG
pains.
I'VE have tried It on horse, who had
thrown the sultan" said the barber to
my guide; "he lived three days, and his
agonicg were most satisfactory" These
robbers are expected to enjoy the ~.
ton Of salt Ave to six days, getting
plenty Of food but no drink during that
time.

What 0hc was Doing.

did you ever hear the story OF tho

the story more than he did, and 1t II
good enough to print anywhere. The

Junior partner Of the firm. Mr.. johnson.
and after calling him shining orna-

time, the brilliant Mr.. Halstead went

charms Of the fair sex. saw q handsome
woman In the crowd superbly dressed
and with diamonds on her bosom and
in her hair that would at once attract
attention. He begged to bs presented,

astonished. "May ! inquire Of what

The smiles were more merry at this
time,
