MRS. BRYAN AGAIN.

Though the charge Is denied, there IL
some truth in the assertion tina. some one
friendly to Bryan is handling the Asso-
ciated Press The first evidence was the
greater space given to Bryan than Nc

When the organs started out, there was
so much said about Mrs Bryan that the
people howled IN disgust, and even Bryan
men Objected to the sight of their canei-

CLEvELAND'S PERFIDY.

The indianapolis convention fur
nishes additional proof of the entire
selfishness of Grover Cleveland. There
is even double proof Of it in his per-
emptorily demanding that his name
should not be presented to the conven-
ton, and in the further fact that his
man Eckles was there loaded to the
chin with resolutions indorsing his Of
cial conduct. His declining the use OF
his name as a candidate only shows his
unwillingness to make any personal
sacrifice for his party. 1t was well
understood that the convention had
nothing to give but an empty honor,
and that its candidates were to figure
as the representatives of lost cause.
Somebody, however. must make the
sacrifice, but Grover Cleveland is not
now doing the martyr act Whether he
bets on horse race, or takes q deal on
the stock exchange. he bets on . sure
thing. He looks upon this nomination
by the rock-rfbbed Democracy in the
same light He declines to risk either
his time, money or reputation in a for
lorn hope. and so wires his representa-
tives 10 count him out Of the race.
He further adds insult to injury by
forcing the convention to pass resolu
tons indorsing him ad nauSeunl, thus

WHERE AND WHAT Is ZANZIBAR.

The destruction of the palace Of the
sultin of Zanzibar by British warships
and the killing of number of ma
tiyes have aroused considerable inquiry
as to that government, its ruler and
people. The bombardment alluded to
probably marks the end OF that sultan
ate, as was evidently the intention of
the British, and 4 once great African
empire will cease to exist. The deal
of 1856 which gave Madagascar to
France and which later resulted in
landing Kansas man in a French
prison, also divided up the domains of
the sultan of Zanzibar on the mainland
between Germany, and the East Brit
ish Africa company, turning the island
OF Zanzibar over TO the protectorate Of
Great Britain The excuse was that
the sultan trafficed in human flesh.
The island Of Zanzibar and the ada
cent coast OF Africa seem TO have been
destined by Nature to become the seat
of power. The island is of coral form
alton. but its coasts are singulariy free
from the dangerous reefs usually found
in the neiShborhood Of islands of this
character. and IL has a safe and SPA

from 30 10 20 feet The Swahin coast

Christianity with Confuhianism. From
philosophical point OF view the two

the foundation Of the two systems of

SEEMS a FAIR STATEMENT.

There has been much said and writ
ten Of the results of free silver in Mex
leo. Both sides to the question have
unuquestionably twisted the actual
facts to their respective purposes The
Mexican minister Of finance ought To
practically and officially know all
about it He was in st. Louis the
other day. Senior Linlantour says
that, legally Mexico has the double
double standard but practically the
single silver standard. as NO gold is in
circulation. Every ounce of gold
that it produced by Mexico Is
drawn out by foreign nations Their
ratio is 161s to 1. They do not coin
gold Mexico had had four gold bond
issues and a number Of domestic sill
yer issues in the past eight years, the
gold bond issues being AT per cent
and aggregating S1O0,OOO,OOO. As the
interest amounts to 100000 an
nally, 1t takes S12,0OO.O00 in silver to
pay it What the conditions may be
when the bonds mature he does not
presume to know, only he hopes that
silver will be worth more than it is
DOW. He said: what Mexico wants
most today is fixed price Of silver.
What we fear most is the continual
fluctuations Of the white metal. With
silver up and down alternately, our
merchants cannot make Calculations
for future transactions. In a COM
mercial sense. we live from day to
day.
'The silver standard in Mexico acts
the same as a high protective tariff
1t shuts out foreign competition and
has allowed our home industries to
grow. We have two demands in Next
CO. The exporters, who send to the
other countries great quantities of
coffee, tobacco and fruits want TO see
silver kept down, as they receive gold
for their exports, and with that gold
they can purchase about twice the
amount Of their sales in Mexican mon
ey. The consumers want to see the
price of silver rise, for then the silver
dollar which they carry in their peck
etc would be worth more, and they
would not have to pay as much for
foreign goods, mich of which is ship
ped into the country"
Senior Limantour was asked: Glow
would Mexico be affected by the free
coinage of silver in the United States?"
He replied: Mexico would at first
be injured on account of the great
fluctuations which would naturally fol-
low q declaration of this character,
but in the long run Mexico would be
benefited by free coinage in this eoun-.

POINTS OF FUNERAL ETIQUETTE
Henrse Driver Drew the Line ut
smoking on the Seat

Henrse Driver Drew the Line ut
smoking On the Seat
Funeral etiquette is particular and
variable sort OF thing. IL differs wide
ly In different partrs of the city.
There occurred yesterday an incident
affecting an Eighth avenue funeral
which wouldn't have happened to a
Fifth avenue funeral. OF the two
principals in the occurrence one was
driving a hearse. The other was on
an Eighth avenue car. AS the car
drew near the hearse the passengr
waved his hat and shouted:
Hey, Bill! How goes 1t these
days.
Hello. Jimw replied the driver,
with a grin of recognition. 1T goes
to Greenwoor."
THAT SOP said the other. "Pull up.
I'll go along with you"
He jumped of the rear platform,
where he had been standing smok-
ing cigar, and went over to the
hearse. The hearse stopped. and the
entire funeral procession stopped. Up
climbed the new acquisition to the
procession, shook hands with his
friend, and took seat beside him.
The hearse started on, and the entire
line of carriages followed. Presently
however, there was difficulty on the
hearse top. What was said wasn't
audible to the passengers on the car.
but the gestures Were easily intellig-
ible. Obviously the hearse driver was
expostulating about the cigar. which
had assumed a defiant tilt In Jim's
mouth. He would pass the time OF
day from a funeral procession. Bill
would, and he would even stop TO
take friend up, but he drew the line
at having cigars smoked over any
corpse that was under his care.
With great expressiveness OF gesti-
culation Jim indicated that his cigar
was good cigar. a 15-cent cigar in
fact, and he'd be smoked himself IL
he'd shake it for any corpse. There
upon Bill shook his fist in Jim's face
and Jim shook his In Bills face, and
there was every prospect of some
casualties resulting. But better coun-
sells prevailed. With a very disguised
expression the driver pulled up his
horses, and the whole line stopped.
With great elaboration his friend got
down. holding his cigar tight between
his teeth. The hearse moved on. and
the procession moved on. Jim re-
turned to his street car, which had
/ kept pace with the hearse, and pro
tested vigorously to the conductor
because he had to pay another fare
