a HIRED STUMPER.
BACK Number Bryan ns N Side show
SpOuter.

W. j. Bryan is n back number. Last
fall he was repudiated by a majority
of 100000 of the voters of this coun-
try. In the states of the east, where
the chief commercial and industrial in
terests of the country lie, that repudia-
ton was simply overwhelming.
Bryan has, however, refused to ac-
cept his Reputation. He pretends to
believe that he and the cause he repre-
scented arc stronger to-day than they
were q year ago. He is talking the
same revolutionary rot, the same drivel
about foreign control of the finances of
the United States, and indulging in the
same frenzied appeals TO class preju-
dice.
Bryan was brought to Ohio for the
express purpose of helping John II.
Mclean capture the United States SEN
atorship. Bryan thus worked for a
man who represents something which
is as far from what Bryan pretended
to represent one year ago as pole is
from pole. No man who stands for the
masses, as Bryan pretendedao stand.
can say one word in favor Of the cleo
ton of democratic legislature. when
he knows, us Bryan knows, that all the
democratic candidates for the legisla-
ture are pledged to vote for Mclean.
But Bryan came to Ohio this year.
notNas the champion of the free coinage
of silver, not as the leader of n great
and aggressive party, but as the hired
man of John r. Mclean, and he has
spoken to the people at so much per
hour for the time actually employed. In
short, Bryan is a political mountebank,
and everything that he can say or do
was discounted last year. The only eff
feet of his coming to Ohio this year will
probably be to drive more democrats
away from their party than left it last
year.-Cleveland Leader,

WATER IS SHUT OFF.
CHICAGO SCHOOLS COMMAND
ED TO GO DRY.
Owing to Pollution the Supply Is Cut
OFF by Order of the Board of Educa.
Dying.
No water in Schools.

Owing to the pollution of Lake Michi-
gan, the Chicago Board of Education
passed an order directing that the supply
of drinking water in all the public schools
be shut off until further notice. 1t is
likely that for some time the equipment
of every Chicago school boy and girl will
include, besides the time-honored bag and
lunch box, water bottle or two, slung
over the shoulder and containing boiled
water brought from home. Some of the
principals anticipate much annoyance on
account of the lack of water. Others
think it will not occasion any inconven-
fence. believing the children will learn at
once that they must quench their thirst
before leaving their homes. 1t is not
likely that the schools will be deprived of
water for any length of time. The mem
bers of the board will doubtless get to-
gether and arrange for boiling it, or intro
ducing filters Neither is it anticipated
that any hardship will follow the opera
ton of the order. The children are in
school only three hours at a time, and can
get along without water if necessary. If
it was at different season of the year
there might be some suffering.

Nicaragua Fortifying to Resist Oc.
cupation by Columbia.
At Corn Island and its Notifications
100 men are now clearing lands to extend
the Notifications. The Nicaraguans have
500 pounds of dynamite and ten electric
batteries. Mr.. Donaldson, formerly
United States army engineer, located the
dynamite mines and Notifications and.
then left the island for Managua. Thus
far the Colombians have determined to
contest every foot. Gen. Reyes says 1.-The
problem" will be solved by dynamite.
The little steamer Lucy B.. owned by
Herbert Y. Bingham, the British consul
of Nicaragua, stationed at San Juan del
Norte (Greytown), has been chartered by
the Nicaraguan Government for an in
definite period to carry troops and act
generally as a warship. If this affair
should result in an actual collision the
Lucy B. may be blown to pieces by the
Colombian man-of-war--a risk which the
owners seem willing to take. From
sources that may be considered trust
worthy it is said the Colombians have
really the first right to Corn Island, but
the island has been ground of dispute
between Colombia and Nicaragua for
years.

Philippine Rebels.
The papa delegate at Washington,
Archbishop Martinclli. has received dis
couraging news from his vicar general,
Roderiquez, in Rome. regarding the rebel
lion in the Philippine Islands. In an in
terview Mgr. Martinell discussed the sit
uation in both the Philippine Islands and
in Cuba with considerable freedom. Our
order is very strong here" said the Arch
bishop. ''as we have several bishops ana
$50 priests scattered all through the prov
inces. 1t was too much to expect that all
of them had escaped. and the news re-
ceiyed is bad. have two letters from
my vicar general. and he informs me that
five Augustinian priests in parishes aocut
Manila have been carried off by the
rebels. and no news whatever has been re-
ceived from them. In the absence of IN
formation we believe that they are dead.
Thirteen Dominican priests were also
either carried away or slain by the rebels.
and those who were taken off were alter
ward killed: so we suppose the same rate
has befallen the members of our order.
The rebellion in the Philippines is likely
to prove most horrible affair, as the ma
tives are only semi-civiliZed. Spain, too
is handicapped to some extent by the tact
that she maintains on the island only ::
scattered army of about four thousand
men. Spain will have difficult task TO
subdue the half-barbarous people OF the
philiDpineS."

Is larger than at any other time for six

the hope that some arrangement may be
made for the arbitration of the strike,
which for seven months has practically
parayzcd the great mining camp ana cost

guard for the miners. Adjt.-Gen. Moses
has wired orders to n Columbus clothing

by the troops. This is believed to mean
that the nonresident militiamen are all
to be withdrawn.
