At last Mr.. Bryan has admitted that
times are better. But he says they
are due to the foreign scarcity" and
to gold being taken from the Klondike.
The foreign scarcity affects directly
but the one article of wheat and that
is only one of a great list of farm arti-
cles which have advanced. and as for
the Klondike gold, four times as much
money has been expended in fitting
out Klondikers as has been brought in
by them,

of credit for the splendid result, which
could only be reached by perfect or
ranization and wise and tactful
treatment of the delicate matters in
volved. To those of our local speakers
also, and the large rrmy of workers
who gave their time to the good cause,
the thanks of the party are due.
The fight put up by the local Demo-
cratic organization was the strongest
it ever made and in our opinion the
strongest it will eyer be capable of
making. Its managers are completely

A SEWING SCHOOL FOR MARIETTA
For many years church schools have
been maintained in this community
for the purpose of teaching poor child
rem how to sew. Some of these schools
have had continuous existence for
twenty-five years and more, and a
noble work they have accomplished.
The children of the better to-do
classes, however, have not Jared so for
tunately. Not being subjects of char
ity, they have been barred from the
church schools and excepting the sras-
modic efforts of few strictly private
schools to supply the want, no contin-
uous and adequate instruction has eyer
been given them. The latter class
need not necessarily be, but as mat
ter of fact is as needy as the former,
for both alike attain womanhood with
out sufficient knowledge of this most
useful domestic art. The mothers of
both classes might teach their child
rem how to sew If they themselves
knew how and were so disposed. But
experience teaches that for the good of
the child and the community this is too
infrequently done.
In order that every child may at
least have the opportunity to learn to
sew, steps have been taken to esta blish
a paid sewing school in the community
and graded course of instruction has
been provided for. In other schools
the amount of graded instruction is
completed within three years and it is
thought that the same can te done
here, but the time can easily be length
ened if experience shove that to be
necessary.
The first session of the sewing school
was held Saturday afternoon at the
Third street school house, and will
continue weekly, under the instruction
of Miss Frances Curtis. A tuition of
$500 year is charged. The school is
good thing, and it is hoped that it
will be prosperous institution.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. GA most
exciting runaway occurred on Look
out mountain. Mrs. A. P. Lockhart
and Mrs. Thomas Wilson were driving
buggy along the road when the
horse became frightened at passing
inclined plane car and started at
brealineck speed down the mountain.
About half way down the buggy lodged
on stump. The horse, suddenly
brought to n standstill, backed the
buggy over precipice from 80 to 40
feet high. The animal followed the
buggy and was killed. The women
were seated in the buggy when the
perilous leap was made and both were
fatally injured. At that spot, during
the last ten years, six lives have been
lost in similar ways.

PRESIDENT Mckinley, like any other
good republican, would have liked to
have seen the party make a better
showing in some states than it did in
last weeks elections, but he sees moth
ing in the results to show that there
has been any falling off in the allegi-
ance of the voters to the national prin-
ciples of the republican party, nor to
his administration. The causes which
brought about disappointing results
were in every case well known. In
some they might have been avoided.
Looking at the whole business from a
purely national point of view, the Re-
publicans came out of the elections
with gain of one Senator, and with
experience that should be very yalua-
BILE in future campaigns. 1t is true
that the victory in Ohio and in Mary
land was won by dangerously small
margins, but such has been true of
many of the greatest political victories
ever won. On the whole, the party
came out very well for an off year,
and the first in a new administration
at that.

The Only English Thing.

The American fr!gate Constitution

went excited the most favorable COM
ment- After the war of 1912 she was
visited by an English officer Of high
rank. who, after making an inspection.
said: This Is one of the finest frigates
ever saw. if not the finest; but must
say that her wheel is clumsy and ugly,
and unworthy of the vessel" The Yam
kee captain replied; "Sir, that wheel
is the only English thing in the ship.
During her action with the Java her
own wheel was knocked to pieces by a
shot. After the Java was captured we
took her wheel and fitted it to the Con-
stitution. and. although we think it as
ugly as you do, we have kept it as a
trophy"

attempt TO BLOW up the Railway bridge
Over Mad River Slough.
EUREKA, CAL, Nov. 6.-An attempt
has been made to wreck the bridge of
the Eureka and Klamath railway across
Mad river slough. A can containing
ten pounds of blasting powder with a
fuse attached was placed on the bridge
in such a position that had it exploded
it must have destroyed the bridge or
weakened it so that the first train over
would have been wrecked, Dampness
prevented the fuse from igniting, and
the bomb was found by the track walk
or. The attempt to wreck the bridge
is attributed to spite work, as it should
be draw bridge, whereas it is closed
and shuts out people living above it.
The company intends putting in a
draw bridge in the spring.

History has chalked up enc more
score against free trade. Now that
the Wilson law has been obliterated
from the statute books and protec-
tive tariff law enacted and put into
operation and has brought prosperity
to the country, it is demonstrated, and
will be recorded by future historians,
that the cause of the depression of
1S9S.'96 was due to the Wilson low
tariff measure.

Reason Why n Lawyer Couldn't Tell
One Animal from Another.
An ambitious young lawyer paid his
first visit to q country court holding its
session not very far from New Orleans
not long since, reports the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. He went to
represent a big railroad in a suit
brought by countryman to recover
the value of an OK, which departed this
life in a vain attempt to hold up the
limited mail. The question before the
court was one of Identification, and the
countryman had testified that he knew
the OK by his color and the flesh marks.
The young city lawyer rose and with
dignity said: "If your honor, please.
there can be no question that this wit
ness has sworn falsely when he testi-
fed that an OK can be recognized by his
color. was a stenographer before 1
became a lawyer, and for two days,

every OK that passed the hotel, and I

"You are trifling with the dignity of
this court, SIR" sternly said the judge.

judge and the city lawyer, glad to es-
cape the wrath of his honor, took his
departure, sadder but wiser man.

Col. Ingersoll is a believer in the

thing about Cuba" he said. Il think
that our action has been just a little
weak in the Cuban matter. l bellows
that Spain actually thinks that the
United States is afraid of her. Con
gress will surely recognize either the
independence or the b~elligerency of
Cuba. If the United States would
quit aiding Spain and take her patrol
off the sea, Spain wouldn't stay on the
sland four months. Enough men
would go from the United States to
drive the Spanish out.
There is no danger of a war be-
tween the United States and Spain. y
country that can't whip Cuba had bet
ter let the United States alone. We
are in no more danger of war with
Spain than we are in being overrun
b. the Esquimeaux. l believe that the
United States ought to recognize the
independence of Cuba"

The End of the Battle.
The Courier-Journal has little to add
to what it has already said by antici-
patton touching the Democratic stu
alton in Kentucky, brought into being
by the vote of Tuesday last. That
vote confirms the position of the con
vention that nominated Mr.. Shackel-
ford for Clerk of the Court of Appeals
and re%pudiates the position of the con
vention which nominated Mr.. Hind
man. 1t fixes the relation of the Dem
ocratic organization in Kentucky in
the national organization of the Dem
ocratic party, at least through the
next State and national elections. Il
is so decisive in character as to leave
nothing in conjecture and the Courier
Journal has neither the wish nor the
purpose to challenge it.
The issue, as il was made and has
been fought out, was clear and ex-
plicit. No effort was wantingto main
tain it. Nosody could by any posi-
bility be mistaken about it. We may
