How "the Editor" Decided Bet For ar

All sorts of funny questions come oveI

Some of the propositions advanced are
enough to make a mule laugh, and some
are sent over the telephone just to worry
the man who answers the ring and posi-

MEANS BRYAN in 1900.
Carter HarrisOn's Interpreta-
tiOn of Tuesdays Elections.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Mayor Harrison was
delighted but not surprised at all when
he learned of the Democratic victories.
in the reports that come from New York
of the complete success of the Demo-
cratic ticket, the gains of the Demo-
Gratis in Ohio, the cutting down of the
Republican majority in Iowa, and the
encouraging reports from other states,
the mayor saw what he called the end
of the domination of monopolies and
trusts and the triumph of the people.
THE Democratic victories everywhere
indicate that w. J. Bryan will be the
next president" said Mayor Harrison.
The Republicans cannot stop him. He
is the idol of the people and his pr1nc1-
pies, embodied in the Chicago platform,
have won the elections, The people
want him, and the people believe in his
principles because they are opposed to
trusts and corporations. They carried
out his ideas by casting their ballots
for the Democratic candidates through
out the country and either winning or
cutting down the Republican MAORI
ties.
I regard the result as showing that
the people will no longer submit to the
domination of bosses who control cor
porations and are combined solely for
the interests Of capital and not of the
people.
The interests of corporations are
bound I'D in the interests of the people,
but the bosses have failed to recognize
this. They thought that the worle was
made for them alone, and they dlsre-
garded the needs of the common peO-
pie. The result of the elections shows
that the people can be bluffed once, and
only once. When the second attempt is
made, the bluff is called, and the dom
inant bosses are utterly routed
THE figures as given in the election
returns strengthen me in the belief that
1 have always held-that there must
have been something in the cry of fraud
raised by the Democrats after the ma
tional election last fall. I believe w.
J. Bryan was elected president. The
returns are so entirely Democratic that
suspicion becomes a certainty. The
Democrats claimed Ohio last fall, but
the Republicans declared their major
ity was about 10000. When I look at
the figures from Ohio cannot help but
wonder where the Republican majority
of a year ago came from
"I am not a bit surprised at the vic
tory of the Democrats. It simply shows
that the people have recognized that
the Democracy is the party of the peo-
pie, and that the corporations and
trusts are all connected with the Re
publican party. The people have found
out that there is nothing for them in
the Republican party, though they were
bluffed last year.

CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Chicago Physician VIII Try His Rem.
edy on Charity Patients.

Chicago. Nov 4-Dr. Hans F'roelich.
a Swiss physician, who has been in
America less than two years. claims
that he has found a remedy that will
drive rheumatism out of the human
body He has explained his methods
to the president of the county board,
and on Friday six selected cases of
rheumatism at the county hospital will
be turned over to the physician for
treatment.
DR.. Froelich is enthusiastic over the
new remedy. 1t is, he explains, of the
same nature as the anti-toxin remedy
used in the cure of diphtheria, and the
consumption cure which, it is claimed,
has been discovered by a Californian.
He claims to have made several pri-
vate experiments that have shown him
beyond all question that his remedy is
not only practical but that it will cure
the worst case of rheumatism in less
than a week. When seen at his resi-
dence on Cass street, the doctor had
little to say about the details of the
methods he would pursue in treating
the county hospital patients next Fri
day, but he would admit of no doubt
that success would follow in a few
daVS.

not kept pace with the decline in silver,
and the purchasing power of the local
currency in India and Central and South
America is less than half what it used
to be. That is, a man who receives his
wages or the price of his produce in sill
yer, as everybody in these countries is
compelled to do, is able to buy no more
than half as much as formerly with the
same income. and to keep up their trade
the British manufacturers have exer-
cised every ingenuity possible, without
great success. They have been convinced
that their only hope is in securing some
international arrangement by which the
rates of exchange may be decreased and
made stable and a fixed parity between
gold and silver established. They realize
that this can only be done by a modih-
cation of the fiscal policy of the British
government and have converted several
members of the present ministry to their
way of thinking. 1t was this influence
which induced Lord Salisbury to give an
assurance to the ambassadors of the
United States and French republic last
summer that England would make some
concessions toward the remonetization of
silver But the influence Of the banking
interests in London was too strong for
him and he was forced to yield.
1t is not probable that the acceptance
by England of an invitation to participate
in a monetary conference would settle the
trouble with the engineers or prevent
strike among the cotton operatives, but 1t
would have been a gratifying assurance to
everybody engaged in the export trade.
Nearly all the principal papers of import
ance, especially those published at Man
chester, Birmingham, Sheffield and other
great manufacturing centers, are out
spoken in favor of bimetallism, although
the london papers are almost unanimous
in opposition to such policy.

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION
For the Cure of Piles

Is not only intensely painful, dan
gerous to life and very expensive, but
in the light of modern medical research
and since the discovery of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure a surgical operation is
wholly unnecessary. II you nave any
doubt on this point kindly read the fol-
lowing letters from people who know
that our claims regarding the merits
of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne
out by the facts.
From N A. Stall, Ridge Road, Mag
ara. Co. N Y: I received your Pyramid
Pile Cure and tested it last night. 1t
did me more good than anything have
ever found yet, and remember this was
the result of one nights treatment
only.
From Penn w. Arnett, Batesville,
Ark: Gentlemen:-Your Pyramid Pile
Cure has done so much good in SO short
a time that my son-fn-law, Capt T. J..
Klein, of Fort Smith, Ark, has written
me for your address as he wishes to
try it also.
From A. z. Townsend, Benville, Ind:
have been so much benefited by the
Pyramid Pile Cure that enclose 81 for
which please send q package which
wish to give to friend OF mlne VINO
suffers very much from piles
From John H. Wright, clinton, De-
Witt Co, Ills: 1 am SO Wen pleased
with the Pyramid Pile Cure that 1
think it is but right to drop you a few
lines to inform you its effects have
been all that I could ask or wish.
From P. A. Bruton, Llano, Tex :
CzentIernen:-Th Pyramid Pile cure
has done so much good for me that I
| will say for the benefit of others that
after using only two days 1 am better
than I have been for months
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared
! by The Pyramid Drug Co. of Albion,
| Mich, and it is truly a wonderful rem
edy for all forms of piles. So great
| ters received by them from all parts OF
| the country that they have decided to
| publish each week a number of such
! letters and never use the same letter
/ twice but only fresh letters will be
| published.
| All druggists recommend the Pyra-
| ind Pile Cure, as they know from what
/ their customers say that no remedy
gives such general satisfaction.

FOOTBALL OUTLAWED.
Atlanta Passes a PFOhibitiYe
Ordinance With 500
Penalty.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov 4.-The general
council of Atlanta has stolen a march
on the Georgia legislature and has won
the distinction of enacting the first an
ti-foot ball law.
The decree has gone forth that no
more foot ball games shall be played
within the limits of this capital city.
This applies to foot ballists of all colors,
ages and degrees, amateurs, profession
ais and plain foot ba1lists; all are on
the same footing.
Yesterday Atlanta's city fathers arose
with almost one accord and with one
swoop wiped foot ball from the list of
sports which can be INDUCED in in the
city. There was a brief struggle, weak
ening opposition and then the deed
was done; the ordinance was passed
and now goes to the mayor for sane
tion before becoming effective.
Mr. woodward, who introduced the
ordinance, said the time had come when
foot ball should be suppressed.
1.-The game of foot ball is entirely too
brutal for this day of enlightenment
and progress" said Mr. Woodward 1t
is a game in which the powers of en-
durance of the players are tested, often
to the injury of the members of the
teams. Players are hurt in nearly eV-
cry game that is played, and many
have been seriously injured or killed.
1t has only been a short time since an
Atlanta boy was hurt in the game so
badly that he died from his injuries,
ana some time ago dLOLl4GE <AlAduNc4 DOS
was almost killed while playing the
game.
s'The untime1y death Of young Gam
mon of the university team, resulting
from injuries received in the game at
Brisbine park Saturday afternoon,
should be taken as a warning, and we
should adopt an ordinance making II
unlawful for the game to be played in
this city, now while the question is be-
fore u.s.
The penalty for violation of the law
as a fine of 800.

LOST THEIR SHIP.
Members of a Sealing Crew Drift
Away and Land on Desolase
Beach.

San Francisco, Nov. A letter re-
ceived here today gives an account of
trouble encountered on the last trip of
the American sealing schooner Golden
Fleece, Captain Funk. On September
8, the captain, with eight men in three
of the boats drifted away from the YES
sci and being unable to find it steered
for the coast of Kamschatka, finally
landing on a desolate beach. There
being no food there, a successful at
tempt was made to reach PetropaulOv
ski 200 miles distant. Here the men
were arrested for poaching on seal pre-
serves and compelled to work in a stone
quarry until liberated by the British
cruiser Daphane on September 27- The
captain of the Daphne pursuaded the
Russian authorities to try the accused
men and they were acquitted on Octo-
ber 8. They were then taken to Kobe,
Japan, on the cruiser.
