THE BRYAN CROWD RESENT
HIS PROPOSED SPEAKING
FOR VAN WICK.
The Henry George Movement Is Fav-
Orei By The Bryan Democracy
Who Stand Upon The Chicago
Platform And Harrison Was
Elected By That Party.

New York, oct. 22.-The Press
says:
Carter H. Harrison's intention to in
wade this city with his cabinet and the
Cook county marching club and speak
here for Judge Van Wyck on October
2S, is likely to disrupt the Bryan forces
of the west, according to statements
made by friends of Henry George.
The George movement in Greater
New York has been receiving substan-
tial financial and moral recognition
from Western Democrats. The an
nouncement that the mayor of Chica-
go, who was elected by the Bryan
workers in Cook county, had been in
duced to come to New York, has arous-
ed the bitter resentment of the local
George men. William ]. Strong, of
Chicago, a prominent lawyer and
president of the allied Bryan Silver
clubs is in town working in Henry
Georges interests. He was so excit-
ed over the report that Mayor Harri-
son was coming to Tammany's assist
ance that he has been offering to wag-
er $1,000 that the Bryan forces in Hi
nois' would be split in twain unless
Harrison reconsidered his intention.
''As Bryan Democrat who worked
hard for Democratic success last fall
in Illinois," he said, Il denounce May
or Harrison and declare that he will
in no sense represent the Democratic
sentiment of his own city and state
If he takes Tammanys side in this
contest. We recognize Henry George
as the only candidate who stands on
the Chicago platform and represents
the true principles of Democracy.
know that Chairman Orr, of the DEM
ocratic state committee of Illinois. and
Secretary Bentley, of the same COM
mittee agree with me in that state
ment. / still Believe that Mayor Har-
rison will not imperil his party in the
west as well as in the east by inter-
fering in this contest in New York.
Every effort will be made to induce
Mayor Harrison to attend to his own
duties in Chicago If he comes here
for Tammany he will have to take the
consequences which will surely fol-

credit for bringing about that defeat.
this year, just as it did in the carry
ing of the state for Mckinley and Ho-
bart last year. Mr.. German has been
credited with much political shrewd-
ness, but he will have to get up bet
ter scheme or many will think that he
has been much overrated in the past.
Those who started that story about
President Mckinley intending to stop
the sale of the Union Pacif1n railroad
overlooked the fact that the sale was
ordered by a decree of the United
States Circuit court. The only thing
that could have stopped the sale would
have been an appeal to the United
States Supreme court, and that the
government some time ago decided not
to take.

KNAPP,s ROLLER CRAFT.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. ga trial of the
Knapp roller boat has been made that
demonstrated both the weakness and
the possibilities of the new ship. The
barrel-like structure was towed some
distance from the wharf, when the en-
gines were started and the outer cylin-
der began revolving and she soon at
tained a speed of about six miles an
hour and proceeded about two miles,
when she was brought to standstill
and was towed back. The experiment
was not continued as it was found
that the plates of the cylinder were
not strong enough to permit of it be-
ing worked at full speed. Mr.. Knapp
said the trial trip demonstrated that
the boat was under perfect control
and the matter of speed was simply a
question of more powerful engines.
The cylinder plates will be strengthen
ed before another trial is made.

New York, Oct. PA dispatch to
the Herald says:
A local newspaper publishes the fol-
lowing: "At Chascapaba, in the dis
trict of San Julian, belonging to the
municipality of Melena del Sur, there
were concentrated $500 persons. These
reconcentradoes were the only inhab-
itants of the place. Now there are
only five survivors,; the rest died OF
: hunger and fever
In Havana City it is no unusual
sight to see ten or a dozen dead on one
plaza early in the morning. The au-
thorities employ regular roundsmen TO
remove bodies from the parks"
There is no abatement in the activi-
ty of the rebels in the western pro-
vinces. The Spanish regiment YER
CARA, on it's way to the Rubi Hills in
Pinar del Rio, stumbled across a dyna-
mite bomb and lost ten men killed and
forty-one wounded. Further on they
came across another, but it failed to
explode The soldiers became terri
fed and refused to proceed.
In Havana province one hundred
rebels of Arangos command entered
and raided a town. They carried away
a quantity of clothing and provisions
without a shot being fired by the gar
rison. Near Artemisa, Havana pro-
vince, band of insurgents under Acea
attacked and macheted the Spanish
guerilla forces stationed on the Nep-
tune estate. .
In a railroad collision between Ar
temisa and Mangas several soldiers
were killed. Inhabitants of Guanab-
bacoa, a suburb of Havana report
hearing firing just outside that town
last night. The firing continued for
several hours and this morning some
wounded troops were brought in. No
details of the fight have yet been OBJ
tanned.

THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.
Will Make Its First Experiments In
Tennessee,

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 22.-The State of
Washington has been distanced in the
first brush for the original cooperative
colony which the Social Democracy
proposals to establish. 1t is unofficial
ly stated now that Tennessee has a
long lead in the race for such PROPOSE,
tons.
Cyrus Field Willard and Col. Hin.
ton, two of the members of the coloni-
cation committee, are of the opinion
that the prospects in Tennessee are
bright. 1t is believed that the state
will be selected on the test of all lines
of industry. This opinion is based on
the fact that the Social Democracy has
a chance to secure the contract for
building a railroad leading out Of Nash.
vile. To build this road would require
the employment of a large number of
men, and the Social Democracy is now
prepared to supply them in unlimited
numbers. Aside from it's membership,
the new organization has the names
of hundreds of men who are out of en-
ployment.
The organization has recently been
offered large contract of land in Ten
nessee. This forms part of the terri
tory through which the road is to pass
and 1000 acres Of the land is now under
cultivation. A sufficient number of
men and their families, the committee
believes, could be located on this land
to provide all the necessaries of life
for those who would be engaged in the
work of constructing the railroad.

New York, Oct. 22.-The following
letter from the Democratic committee
of 1896, representing the Bryan DEM
ocracy OF Maryland, has been received
at the Henry George headquarters:
"Mr. George, New York-Dear Sir:
The Democratic committee of 1896, or
ganized to enter a formal protest
against the abandonment of principles
by the Democratic convention of Ma
ryland in it's failure to indorse the
national platform adopted at Chicago
and the passage in lieu thereof, of
meaningless state platform on which
so-called organization is conducting
its present campaign, extends cordial
congratulations to Mr.. Henry George
on his nomination for mayor of New
York. This committee has taken ac-
ton because it realizes in Mr.. George
a worthy exponent of the great Demo-
cratic principles underlying the Chica-
go platform, that the plain common
people should rule our country. We
rejoice that the circumstances should
permit your acceptance of the nomin-
alton. You have our best wishes for
success at the polls, and in this we feel
assured that we voice the sentiments
of many thousands of your country
men residing outside Of New York
city.

In Southern California is found the
realization of a dream of the ancients.
Here are the "Golden Apples of the
Hesperides, p" ripening beneath a sky
more beautiful than that of Rome, and
in a climate more perfect than that of
Athens. Never in the widest flights
of his imagination did either Homer or
Hesiod ever conceive of garden richer
in verdant beauty, more productive of
luscious fruit, or set amid more pictur-
esque and lovely surroundings. Here
the rose entwines the orange, and the

fleet the golden glow of the evening

Some Birds That Hatch Their Eggs by
Queer Devices.
1t is we'll known that the Australian
megapOd is a bird that is accustomed to
sit ON its eggs. IN certain parts of Aus
tralia are found numerous mounds Of
considerable size and height which the
first explorers took to be burial grounds.
These were made by the MegapOdius
tumulus, which uses them for Matching
its eggs. They have sometimes consid-
erable dimensions. A nest that is IA
feet high and 90 feet i'll circumference
may be regarded as large.
Each megapod builds its own nest
with material which it gathers from all
sides, and these are exactly what the
gardener uses in the month of March to
make his forcing beds-namely, leaves
and decompOsing vegetable matter,
which, by their fermentation, give of
an appreciable amount of heat In the
forcing beds this heat hastens the sprOut-
! ing of the seeds In the nest it suffice.

In the small island of NinafOu, il

NSHORT, SHARP AND SNAPPY.

1t will not take long for the peo-
pie to find out whether the extra ses-
sion of Congress shall be classed as
extra good or extra bad.
If the Republicans can put the idle
to work and increase the income of
those at work, there will be little
grumbling over the raise in prices that
will necessarily follow the new tariff;
but if the cost of living is increased
without a corresponding increase in
work and pay there will be trouble.
More than one-third of the present
House are men who never served in
Congress before. Quite fresh lot, so
to speak.
The prize fighters thrive on the
money of 'suckers" just as do the
green goods and other fake schemers.
Finance was the main issue in the
late campaign, but the tariff has the
first call ON Congress.
Whatever be the state of mind of
others, it is certain that President Nc
Kinley isn't worrying to any extent
about the offices.
Some people seemed to be imbued
with the idea that it is as easy to form

POLITCAL MATTERS IN New CASTLE.
The R3pUJLicdn of Monday had the
following in reference to the Judge
ship:
cit is said that Mr. j. Edward Adj
dicks wants H. H. Ward appointed U.
S. Judge and that he told Henry G.
Conrad that he had no business to
make a fight for the position; that he
wanted him (COnrad) to withdraw at
once. Mr. Addicks was told by Mr..
Conrad that he would not acceed to
his wishes, as he did not consider that
he had any put in the matter. Exon
gresham Jonathan S. Willis was also
raked over the Goals for daring to OPP
pose the appointing of Mr.. Addicks'
man, and was told by J. Edward that
he had a choice of his own for the U.
S. Judgeship, and that his man was
| Herbert H. Ward. There was some
plain talk between the two gentlemen
over the difference of opinion, and Mr..
A. left MIR. W. in rather a bad humor.
The situation is becoming decidedly
| mixed and strained relations have been
caused by the struggle for this Office.
However, President Mckinley will
straighten it all out III his own good
time We hope that the man appOin-
ted will be an honor to the administra-
ton and the seat he will occupy, and
that justice will be meted out to poor
