Dougald Crawford, the large

clerks because they were sup
porters of Bryan, has repented
of his action and in a letter to
the public says he discharged his
clerks in moment of anger and
realizing that he made a mistake
has invited the men to return to
their positions without prejudice.
Mr.. Crawford in discharging his
clerks because of their political
convictions not only made mis-
trke but violated a law of the
State of Missouri, and as he
publicly admits the violation he
should be prosecuted and pun
ished as a warning to others,

There is a vein of mock moral
ity running through the speech
es delivered by Mckinley to the
hired pilgrims who visit his
shrine at Canton, and yet he
perfectly well knows that his
election will only be secured, if
secured at all, by bribery and
corruption. There is no need for
him to personally engage in
these lawless add rascally prac-
tees, as Hanna is more of an
adept than he, but this does not
at all lessen his guilt, as the re
ceiver of stolen goods is, if pos
sible, more of a criminal than
the original thief.

Our Father, who art in Eng
land, Rothschilds be thy name,
thy kingdom come to America,
thy will be done in the United
States, as it is in England; give
us this day our bonds in gold but
not in silver; give us plenty of
laboring mems votes to keep
monopoly in power and it's
friends in office. We know, our
father, that we have done many
things that were wrong, we have
robbed the honest poor and
brought distress to many poor
man; we know it was wrong to
refund the bonds and make them
payable in coin; we know it was
wrong to water our railroad
stock, but thou knowest that we
made money by that. Now, our
father, thou knowest we are
above politics. 1t is the same
with us whether gold Democrats
or Republicans rule, for thou
knowest we are able to sway
such parties in our favor. Lead
us not into the way of the "com-
mon people," the farmer or the
laborer, and, above all, deliver
us from "16 to l." Thus shall
we have the kingdom, bonds, in
terest, power and gold, until the
republic shall end. Amen.

Nine. Milmoth, the witch of
Salem" predicts that William J.
Bryan will be the next President
of the United States. For Is
years the madam has predicted
the result of the presidential
elections several weeks, some
times months before polling day.
Not once, according to newspaper
clippings, has she failed to
choose the winner. She predict
ed Garfield's assassination some
time before it occurred. At
City Point, South Boston, July
81, 1884, in the presence of 49,
600 people, she predicted Cleve-
lands election. In 1888 she told
of Harrison's success, and in
1892 prophesied Growers second
term. Last night, in the pres
ence of group of reporters, she
predicted Bryan's election, so

Republicans had as we'll throw
