The Lord Mayors Show.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The procession
marking the installation into Office OF
the new Lord Mayor, Mr.. George Eau
del Phillips, started from the Guildhall
at II o'clock this morning. The crowds
which lined the streets through which
the pageant passed were enormous.
Among the features of the show were
cars containing illustrations of the uni
forms worn in the British army and
navy within the last century. There
were also stage coaches containing men
and women in the costumes in vogue
in 1896. These were followed by the
motor cars new in use on streets, and
behind them were allegoric cars de-
scribing the history of the city of Lon
don. The entire show was of most
gorgeous character.

To PEOPLE who don't understand
negro character, it seems strange that
the negroes who live in the South, and
who live upon the white people
thereof, and whose we'll being, therefore,
necessarily depends upon that of those
who employ them, should, as regularly
as elections come, vote as unit
against, not only the wishes, but the
welfare and prosperity of the very PEG
pie to whom they look for support
when we'll, and who provide for
them when sick, and who educate their
children. To those who do, it is not at
all remarkable.

MONDAY EVENING, NOV. s. 1896

IN NO country are the i'll effects OF
infidelity more apparent than in
France. In the olden times plety was
the rule, and religion was respecte !
there. but now the men Of that country
90 any where else than to church, and
the evidence of the fallen state of the
women there is everywhere apparent,
and as morality is hard to maintain
without religion, the condition of the
people there is by no means enviable.
The writings of Voltaire and Rousseau
are to be found everywhere, vice Is
conspicuous, and crime is only restrict
ed by fear of certain and Immediate
punishment. To such condition,
minus the fear referred to, this coun-
try is rapidly approaching, and there
is no surer sign of it than the defer
ence some preachers pay to the pluto
Gratis. and to their utilization with pro-
fessed inGdels and atheists.

The Unfortunate Texas.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The battleship
Texas while lying at the Brooklyn navy
yard this morning awaiting repairs met
with another of long series of acct
dents. One of her sea cocks blew out
in mysterious manner, resulting in a
rush of water into the ships hold, and
causing her to settle considerably. The
water is being pumped out of the ship
and divers are at work investigating
the damage done. The only damage
to the Texas will be in the engine room
from water, and it is expected that the
ship will be all right within "a hours.

Mr.. BRYAN we'll and truly SAYS

1.-THE distressing and mournful fea-
ture of the campaign was the shameless
ness with which money and coercion
were employed, without rebuke or dis
sent from those who profess to teach
political morality. Public sentiment
has been shocked by their brazen NAL
practices"
But when ne shall have grown older,
Mr.. Bryan will know that in g country
of unrestricted suffrage, brazen NAL
practices do not shock public sentiment,
and that in such countries success, no
matter how gained, is the measure OF
merit.

To SHOW how little the managers OF
the democratic campaign knew about
the real condition of their party, it may
be mentioned that Senator Faulkner,
chairman of the democratic congress
sional campaign committee, on the
evening of the day. of election, said if
the election everywhere were as favor
able as it was in his county, Bryan
would 60 through with sweep. When
tn. returns of Berkeley, West Virginia,
the county referred to, were received,
it was found that it had gone for Nc
Kinley by large majority.

THE BUYING. bulldozing, voting and
counting are over, and Mr.. McKinley's
election been announced, but, for all
that, the successful candidate now says
"the people have declared their detesta-
ton of reputation and dishonor, and
have affirmed their devotion to law
and order" Of course, this means that
all the millions of people who voted for
Mr.. Bryan are in favor of reputation
and dishonor and are opposed to law and
order. But the man who said it was,
only few years ago, an ardent sup
porter of what he now calls repudia-
ton and disho1or, and also favored a
force bill that would have made the
observance of law and the preservation
of order in the South impossible, except
by means such as those that were adopt
ed at Warsaw.

The FACT that all the coal miners in
the Jackson, Ohio, district, went on
strike last Saturday, for the reason that
they could not live on the wages they
were receiving, shows how labor has
been benefited by Mr.. McKinley's cleo
ton. But as the miners referred to
voted for him, they should be dancing
;igs in the celebration of their famous
victory. instead ofstriking.

SENATOR PALMER says thousands
OF democrats voted for Mckinley with
mental protest against his tariff
views" Mental bosh! What good
did mental protest do them or anv
body else? If they didn't like Nc
Kinley's high tariff views, why did
they vote for him 4? Those who were not
bought, did so in order that a tax
might not be laid upon their incomes.
The inefectiveness of their mental pro-
tests is made patent by the announced
intention of the republicans to raise the
tariff as soon as practicable.

know that the white people of his State
very naturally believe that those whose
sympathies were not with them in
their late conflict with republicans,
negroes and deserters, were against

against them, he should make haste to
