Mr.. BRYAN's ready command of Ian.
gusge enables him to explain very satis-
factorily to many who gather to listen
to him, why silver has fallen to a fifth
of its value since he stumped the coun-
try last year, while, at the same time
wheat has advanced fifty per cent in
value, but now and again he runs up
against some sturdy western farmer
who is unable to see through his logic.
1t is remarkable how some farmers can.

THE silvery tones, if not the silvery
arguments have disappeared from Mr..
Bryan's voice. 1t was noticed in Ohio
that owing to excessive speaking his
voice has lost its pleasant meditation,
and has become strained and hoarse.
1t is thought this is due to some extent
to the factory smoke floating around
through the atmosphere where he spoke.
Last year he was not troubled in this
respect. -
THE appointment of General Long
street, of Georgia, to succeed General
Wade Hampton as Commissioner of
Railroads, seems to have highly graft
fed Republicans from all sections, and
especially those from the South. 1t
has been understood, ever since last
year, that this place would be given to
General Longstreet, but for personal
reasons General Hampton was not hur-
ried out of the office.

CONSIDERABLE satisfactory comment
is occasioned by the appointment by
the President of John A. Kasson as
Reciprocity Commissioner. The re-
ciprocity features Of the Mckinley law
were carried out by the State Depart
ment, which occasioned much delay,
owing to the slow and tedious routine
Of that department, and the need is
now felt for a better and quicker trans
action of the work required under these
features of the Dingley law. Although
an experiment under the Mckinley
law, reciprocity has proven a most sat
isfactory undertaking, and one of the
most serious plumbers of the Democ.
racy of 1894 was the repeal of all re-
ciprocity features of the tariff and the
resembling of all special agreements
entered into under the Mckinley law.
The avowed policy of the Democratic
administration was free trade, and these
agreements were looking to that very
| end with all nations who desired to en-.
ter into them, so that from even @
Democratic standpoint they should
have been retained. 1t is understood
that a number of foreign countries are
anxious to at once enter into reciprocal
agreements with this country and it il
thought that these features of the new
law will be among its most popular
provisions. The general impression
prevails that our foreign trade will i'm.
prove largely under the arrangements

SOME very radical suggestions ON the
subject of lynching are made by Gov
ernor Atkinson of Georgia. So firm is
he in the belief that the practice should
be discouraged, he advocates that when
a prisoner is attacked by q mob he
should be un%shackled, armed, and al
lowed to defend himself. 1t is uncer-
tain what the result would be Of a pol
icy Of this kind. Some mobs would be

A RECENT case in a Connecticut
town illustrates the dangerous lengths
to which some so-called religious en-
thusiasm will carry i'll balanced minds.
All previous actions by such fanatics
have been outdone by a band of cranks
in Lyme, Conn.,, known as a " Holiness
Band" These persons carried their
belief in the efficacy of prayer to such
an extent that they tried to cure a poor
old woman of rheumatism by dipping
her in a pond, rocking her violently in
a chair, throwing her to the floor and
then praying yer her. Unfortunately
for them the law does not recognize
their good intentions, and warrants
have been issued for their arrest. Per-
haps a'little wholesome punishment will
bring them to their senses. Their re.
ligious ecstacy has made Lyme very un.
comfortable. The episode is a more
striking one than usual, but similar
waves of superstition are not uncom.
mon, and even that fair amount of edu.
cation which everybody is supposed to
get seems to be no safeguard against
their effects. 1t is a form of medi@.
valism which nineteenth century civil
ization has 30 far failed to eradicate.

IT is an actual fact and not a cam
paign story that the advocates of the
free silver theory are gradually and
gracefully breaking away from their
former convictions in regard to the
white metal and are looking about for
other issues. Many men who support
ed free silver in the last campaign, see
ing the way the drift is going, are
dropping the silver theory and coming
out squarely, in favor Of absolute fatism.
1t is however but a step from free sill
yer and the issues of money worth forty
cents on the dollar to unlimited paper
money with nothing behind it to insure
it's redemption.

IL IL d very gloOmy piCturo W OK
hibit in Spain that General Weyler
paints in his official reports of the con-
dition of Cuba as he found it when he
superseded Martinez de Campos. Ac-
cording to his account the entire island,
outside of Havana, had slipped away
from the Spanish crown and was in the
hands of the insurgents. This confess
sion makes the state of things even
worse than was supposed, and it also
makes the present situation seem more
hopeless than it was imagined any true
and loyal Spaniard would acknowledge.
Weyler says in his reports that the in
surgent bands have been scattered, but
he admits that four towns have been
taken from him by the Cubans and a
half dozen others saved only with diff
Guilty, because of the weakness of the
Spanish g%arrisons. 1t is evident thai
the intent Of his report, as shown by
his recommendation for the resumption
of agriculture and the expectation Of
tobacco, is intended for his official just
cation and personal g%lori6cation ant
also for proof that he has improved
matters. Taken, however lin consid
Grafton with we'll known facts, his re-
port rather augments the popular con
ception of the magnitude Of his OWL
failure and the desperate situation o.
the Spanish cause.

 By gum!" he exclaimed in reply as he held up his hands, but we've had an awful time around here to-day. Four gals and young man cum down from the summer hotel on their bikes, and as they stops at the gate the young man sez to me, sez he:

Cloths wet in vinegar had been laid over his face, and the farmer re- moved them to say:
 ''Youngman, what was your thoughts when the fust hornet flew outer the nest?"
