Venezuela is gaining greatly in pros
perity, and Caracas planters in easily
earned wealth, many citizens having
country plantations, and taking life
more without care than the old cotton
planters.
The enchanting Venezuelan capital
would be, with the sanitary care Of
this capital city, one of the healthiest
cities of the world. At present it is
one of the safest of South American
cities, seldom being troubled even
with yellow fever, and then in mild
form. Latterly more care has been
given to sanitation, with obvious ben
eft. But usually it is a safe as well as
a delightful city to visit, where ENG

an American may chance to meet sew

splendid equestrian statue of Bolivar.
The 9th of July is celebrated in
Venezuela officially in each city with
orations in the legislative or municipal
chambers, professions headed by the
chief officials and foreign representa-
tives, to the churches, ending with a
mass and fireworks The writer can
never forget one such celebration, in
which the orator, as is usual, Landed
Washington and Bolivar as the great
liberators, and in which, side by side
with General Carabano, he aided in
officially representing the two Re-
pubIics. We of the older Republic
do not sufficiently appreciate how the
best people of the new ones love the
liberties they have and the ancient
difficulties they have to combat in
sustaining them.

Caracas is a round hill of considerable

palgn-speaks az Cleveland.
The welcome given William J.
Bryan at Cleveland, o., Monday night
was unprecedented in his campaign
tour from New York 10 his home in
Nebraska.
Beyond doubt II was the most mag
nihcent and gratifying reception ever
accorded TO the candidate, exceeding
in heartiness even the greeting of the
city of Buffalo last Friday. Monday
nights affair was more than an ova-
ton; it was something beyond COM
parison in The series of enthusiastic
outpourings that have marked the
progress Of Bryan toward his western
home.
10 was considered more remarkable
from the fact that Cleveland is the
residence of Mr.. Marcus A. Hanna and
one Of the places where his personal
influence has presumably tended to
strengthen the influence of Major Nc
Kiuley. From the time he reached
Cleveland until he hid said goodnight
to his last audience, Mr.. Bryan was
given one continuous round of vel
coming.
Arriving at the Lake Shore station
at 6:25 o'clock, he found packed as
closely as anything short of actual suf-
location would allow in and about the
station building thousands of people
whose only impulse seemed to be to
cheer and shout with all the power
Of their lungs in honor of the demo-
cratic candidate. The police at the
railway station we're almost powerless in
their attempt to keep the crowd at bay.
1t is claimed that 1000 people came
from Canton alone, and included in
this was the Bryan and Sewall club,
numbering 1900 men. Many other
Bryan and Sewall clubs came from
towns in Ohio and Pennsylvania, nearly
all bringing bands of music.
Ten thousand people had gathered
in and about the Lake Shore station
to await the arrival of the nominees
! train, and a national salute was fred
| by Battery A, Ohio national guard,
as the train came in. More than 1900
cheering, yelling men and boys chung
close to the nominees carriage from
/ the depot to the Hollenden and re-
fused to fall back, despite the efforts
of the police.
After hastY dinner at the Hollen-
den Mr.. Bryan was escorted by many
Of the local and visiting silver clubs
through highways packed closely with
people to the Central armory, an i'm
mense structure capable of seating
more than 5000 people. But double
that number were crowded into the
confines of the auditorium.
Charles Wissar, the temporary chair
man, made q vain attempt to be heard,
but the audience kept shouting for
Bryan, and he gave way to Charles p.
Salen, the permanent chairman. Mr..
Salem was more successful and sue
ceeded in making the audience under
stand that he was introducing Mr..
Bryan. As the candidate stepped for
ward the people went wild and cheered
until they could cheer no longer.
There was nothing new in the ad-
dress delived by Mr.. Bryan, but he
put fervor into his words and ges-
lures that gave the audience every OPP
portunity of venting its enthusiasm.
The speech there was the principal one
delivered by Mr.. Bryan during the
evening.

of Fifty Thousand.
William J. Bryan never addressed
an audience SO large aud SO entbusias-
tic as that which gathered in the
statehouse grounds at Columbus, o.,
Tuesday night.
People who have witnessed the inau-
guration Of Ohio's governors in recent
years say that the crowds on those oc-
casions never numbered more than
10000, but it was generally conceded
that the inaugura! assemblage did not
compare in point of numbers with the
magnificent congregation that listened
to the democratic candidate on the
issues of the campaign.
Mr.. Bryan was obliged to divide his
speech into four segments, one deliv-
cred from each side of the canopied
grand stand that had been erected for
the occasion. Fifty thousand is con-
servative estimate of those who were
present, among them being 1900
miners who came from the Hooking
valley.
