Judge Russell is fooling nobody: he

Mr.. BRYAN TO CANTONlTEs.
Pays Tribute to Major McKinley's
Character and Worth

Lincoln, Nebr., Aug. SIN response
to the recent telegram from Canton,
Ohio, telling of the organization of
the silver forces i'm the home city of
Gov. Mckinley, Mr.. Bryan to-day sent
the following:
Mr.. John c. Harmony, Secretary Bry-.
an Silver Club, Canton, Ohio:
My Dear Sir: | am in receipt of
your message, conveying greetings
from the members of your club and
beg to assure them of my hearty APP
probation of their support. The fact
that those of your citizens who believe
that the United States is strong
enough to have a financial policy of its
own are willing to array themselves
against a toWnsman Of high character
and great personal worth, indicates
the depth of their convictions When
ever a great issue arises the American
people always prove their independ-
ence and moral courage, character
istics without which self-government
is impossible. 1t gratifies me to know
that the silver sentiment in it's growth
is disregarding party lines.
Yours truly,
w. j. BRYAN.
In regard to their invitation extend
ed to him to speak in Canton, Mr..
Bryan said that he did not Know that
he would do so, but that if he did it
would be an informal talk from the
car platform.

@THE HIGHEST CUT TO SILVER. .

The wisdom of the State Democratic
Executive Committee in proposing
division of electors with all parties
supporting Bryan is established more
and more every day. One of our gold
standard exchanges is very much a
harmed for fear the Populists will de-
cline, and thus put the Democratic
party sin humiliating position"
The tender by the Democrats was
open and above board, and, whether
accepted or rejected, will not put the
party in any humiliating position. 1t
will show to the people of all parties
that the Democrats put the success
of the great cause of silver above mere
partisan considerations, and was so
much in earnest to contribute to the
welfare of the people that it permits
no small matters to turn it into an
ally of Mckinley and his gold-bug as
sociates who have bolted the party.
The boiling gold Democrats are MAX
ing every alliance and trade, holy and
unhoIy, to continue ''to press down
the crown of thorns upon the brow
of labor" They are pouring their ill
gotten gains into Mark Hanna's cof-
fers, and betraying the party in whose
primaries they took part. They are
now resorting to every method to
defeat their party. They cooperate
with anybody or anything to accom-
plish their ends. Here is their latest
plan:
DALLAS. Tex, Aug. 2.-the gold
standard Democrats of Texas yes
terday at Corsicana resolved nos
to put out a State ticket. They
appointed committee to confer
with the Populists and the Repub-
leans, looking to a fusion, Repub-
lican and gold standard Demo
Gratis to vote for the Populists
State and county tickets and the
Populists to vote for the Mcl<in-
ley electors.
In view of these combinations that
are forming in nearly every State, the
free silver advocates will be as silly
as the gold men have declared them to
be if they fall upon each other and
fight among themselves instead of
making common cause against the
common enemy.
An honest country silver man, who
was in Raleigh yesterday, spoke par
able when he said: you town folks
may arrange or not arrange as you
please. The country folks of all par
ties are going to take the highest cut
to get silver
The silver men are not going to
throw away their votes. They will
vote together for electors.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR FOR BRYAN

Labor for President. The Journal OF
the Knights of Labor, the official organ
Of the order, to-day, in leading edi~
torial. headed, ''The Occasion and the
Man, calls on all members of the or
der to support the Nebraska man at
the polls in November. The editorial
is from the pen of Henry b. Martin, of
Washington, member of the general
executive board, also editor of the
Journal. The editor says:
BRYAN is the man of the hour,
brought forth by the necessities of the
occasion. All the powers Of wealth
and the influence it brings are already
at work to compass his defeat. Every
legal robber in the United States, re-
CARELESS of his former politics; every
man, whose interest lies in the con-
tinued subiugation of the wage earn
er and farmer; every sheet which has
prospered and grown upon the sub
sides to be obtained for treachery, all
this tremendous force is already NOV
ing to prevent the coming triumph of
the plain people. The Whitney-Cleve-
land Democracy joining hands with
the Hanna-Depew Republicans, all rec
ognize the danger of continuance of
their reign of insolence, intolerance,
and usurpation, and nothing will be
left untried to stay the coming of the
devastating flood.
'sThe record of all conventions has
been broken, the people themselves,
the plain. everyday oversails-jumpers-
and-ieans people have seen the crisis,
the crisis has drawn forth the man,
and the ides of November will demon

low-tailed, naughty politician doesn't
possess and cannot buy the votes nee
essary to prevent the people from en-
tering into their own"

HENRY THURBER FOR SILVER
New York Business Man Who Predicts
Election of Bryan and SewaII

New York, Aug. 5.-A letter was re-
ceived to-day at Treasurer st. Johns
Democratic headquarters from Henry
X. Thurber, who is a member of the
executive committee of the American
Protective Tariff League, and whose
contribution headed the list of sub
scriptions to the Harrison campaign
fund of 1892, declaring for free silver.
Mr.. Thurber who is now at Haley,
Idaho, writes:
Il ann in this silver movement heart
aud soul / verify believe that Bryan
and Sewall will win in this fight. 1t
is an uprising of the people against
oppression, and an attempt to place
our labor in the same condition that
the labor of Europe is; it is a fight
between the owners of vested capital
and the owners of property other than
evidences of Indebtedness and the wage
earners, and in the long run the ma
iority must win. The hot iron of gold
has entered into the pockets of the
many, and burned very large holes
therein, and therefore they speak feel
ingly, and no specious arguments
emanating from that side can have
any effect on them, only to make the
average man more tenacious of his own
opinion that he is right, and / think the
result in November will open the eyes
Of the Republicans that want to give
manufacturers protection and demon
etize silver. Yours truly,
IT. K. THURBER.

DEFENDER DANINS WORSE THAN
THE FAKIR.

Congressman Pearson, of North
Carolina. left for his home in Ashe-
viii Yesterday, after a conference
with his colleagues of the Repub-
Hcan committee. Mr.. Pearson eX-
pressed an opinion that Senator
Jones' depreeatory remarks con-
corning Southern Populists would
have a very material influence on
that element of Mr.. Bryan's sup
porters. THE Populists all pose as
patriots" said he, land do not like
to be called spoilsmen. Accord
ingly, | shouldn't be surprised if
those remarks of the chairman of
the Democratic National commit
tee would have the effect Of alien
ating good many from their new
partnership with the Democ-
racy. Washington Post.
Inasmuch as the offensive remarks
WAS New York World fake. Mr.
PeaIson's hope that they would have
a material influence" against Mr.
Bryan passes away with many other
fancies of the Duke of Richmond Hill.
These remarks of Mr.. Pearson will
prove more offensive to the Populists
than the Worlds fake story. At the
worst, Senator Jones was quoted as
praising the patriotic Populists. Mr.
Pearson offends them all by saying,
THE Populists all POSE as patriots, .
which is equivalent 10 denouncing
them as all hypocrites.
The Popuiists viii pray to be deliv-
cred from scuh defenders. The defend
er damns worse than the fal,ir.

A MISSED KISS.
The Reason Why Two Ambassadors Lost
Their Places.

The Reason Why Two Ambassadors Lost
Their Places.
Two ambassadors have lost their
places through their failure to take adj
vantage afforded them to kiss the hand
of the czarina, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. Count Monticello. the
Freno Il ambassador, lost his place. It
is not made known whether he only
obeyed orders or not, but he had to suf-
fer the penalty. 1t was very unfor-
tunate for him that when the French
people through their government had
undertaken to show their friendship for
Russia by most lavish display of os-
tentatious ceremony and the expendi-
ture of many millions of dollars the
entire effect should be lost by the fail
ure of the chief functionary to press
his lips to the imperial hand.
The other ambassador who lost his
position is Prince Radalin, the repre-
sentative at the Russian court of the
German empire. No reason is given for
his omission to observe customary act
of homage. He had not the excuse of
being the minister from a republic. He
represented a court where such cere-
monies are strictly observed and an i'm
periaT master who is as strict in re-
quiring observance of court etiquette
as the Russian emperor. These pun
ishments should be warning to all men
never to lose favorable opportunity
to kiss lady's hand. Many man has
lived to regret that he has not seized
a suitable occasion to snatch kiss;
there seems to be more danger in being
ooremiss than in being too bold. Where
the danger lies and how great twill be
either in abstaining or acting is mat
ter for individual judgment. But it is
sometimes worth risking, it would
seem.

"BOYS ALL OVER"
How Two Youngsters Experinented with
Poison Ivy.

~A"" Two KOungSSOrs Experl1nented with
Poison Ivy.
superintendent Kimball, of the life
saving service, told story OF two boys,
end it is so boys all over" as most
mothers would say, that it ought to be
printed. The now accomplished officer
says that when he was boy he had q
chum. and both were poisoned year
AFTER year while running about the
woods by poison ivy. One day, says
the Washington Star, they heard or read
something to the effect that if persons
would swallow two or three leaves of
the ivy they would never again be af-
fected by it. To relieve themselves of
the regular summer and often-recur-
ring annoyance they decided to take a
few leaves of it as medicine. Mr.. KIM
ball was of an investigating turn of
mind, and found out that on the under
side of the leaf there was very fine
dust. He told his companion that as
they were experimenting it would be
well to see if it made any difference
whether one side or the other con-
tanned the poison. He rolled up his
three leaves so as to cover the dust, and
his friend rolled his so as to leave the
dust side exposed. With glass of water
and as little chewing as possible they
swallowed their doses. The result was
something horrible, especially for the
boy who took the dusty side of the ar
gument, For weeks after he could not
shut his mouth on account of the terri
BILE condition of his mouth and throat.
He had to be fed with liquids by quill,
and it was only a miracle that he did not
die. Mr.. Kinball Jared somewhat bet
ter, especially as to his mouth and
throat, but there was trouble enough on
the inside to make up for it. And there
was no cure worked. The next season
they suffered as before.
