The Ships Supplies.

Some men in a saloon were invent.
ing stories to pass away the time. They
had all had a turn at it except an old
sailor, who had remained silent all the
time, until pressed by the others to spin
them a yarn. He began:
Il was once in a dreadful storm. All
the provisions were washed overheard
l was very i'll, and ate nothing for four
days; at the end of that time began to
feel hungry, and the steward gave me
beef. chicken, port wine and eggs"
But you said all the provisions were
washed overheard. Where did the beef
come from?'
From the bullocks" (bulwarks), said
the old sailor.
"And where did you get the chickens
FROM"
From the hatch"
And the port wine?"
From the portfolio"
And the eggs"
.'Eggs?'' said the sailor. Il didn't
say eggs, did 1 -
s'Oh, yes you did," said the men. We
have caught you now!"
The old sailor thought he was caught
and had to consider. At last he said:
''Oh, yes; did have eggs. The cap
tain ordered the ship TO lay to, and he
gave me one."-Buffalo Times.

SHOT OVER THE SIDE.

now whirling under the rocks which
arched half over the passageway bur-
rowed out of the side of the mountain
at Eight Mile Point, now he was at the
Giant Leap, and his log was coursing
through the air before falling back
again into the sluiceway; now he was
lying fat to clear the low stage bridge
which crossed the canyon at Red Point;
now he was swinging around the last
curve, and there-there-what was that
away up the hill? 1t appeared and re-
appeared and vanished again as the
flume wound in aud out of sight, but it
always came nearer. The little girl
smiled the grim smile of woman
aroused as she realized that the fugitive
was coming into her vengeance while
thinking he was journeying to safety.
She held the gun Ion" the trough wait
ing for the odd shape to come before the
muzzle. At last it shot under the end.
Very carefully she lowered the weapon
as her prey came nearer, nearer. but
the lowering was only to follow the
target.
'Now!" something seemed to say to
her. and she fired. \ dreadful yell rose
from the fiume, dark object shot over
the side and turned dozen somersaults
into the rocky canyon below. and the
log flew on to the town of the railroad
and the mill and the box factory.
The company buried Sandy with
honors. but nobody bothered about Bad

ELECTION ECHOES.

on the Result.

Comments of Democratic Journals
on the Result.
Mark Hanna is more than pleased
when he remembers that it has to hap
pen only once every six years.-Chi-
cago Record Ond.).
The Dingley deficiency tariff, with
Its accompaniment of decreased rev.
enues and increased taxes, has been
voted an economic absurdity and a po-
litical sham.-Pittsburgh Post.
The voters in those states where cleo
tions were held improved their first op-
portunity to repudiate the Dingley tar
if and to rebuke the republican party
for a breach of trust.-Manchester
N. H. Union.
Even in the states where the demo-
Gratis have Jared the worst this year
they have managed to cut the McKin-
ley majorities of 1896 in half. No party
can long stand up against that sort of
pounding .-Philadelphia Record.
This triumph Of Tammany in New
York city means that if the democrats
are in any sort of shape to make hope
full fight for the presidency in 1900 the
electoral vote of that state will be cast
for the democratic candidate.-Phila-
delphia Times.
Mr.. Hanna has won, but for several
months to come he is likely to wake up
in the middle of the night with that
same old uncomfortable feeling that
Joseph b. Foraker is under the bed
upon murderous designs intent-Chi-
cago Chronicle.
The landslide is almost as great as
that of last year. and can hardly be con-
sidered otherwise than as q singing
rebuke to the administration for its
Dingleyism on the tariff and its do
nothing policy on the currency ques~
tion.-Des Moines Leader.
The election results are but prelude.
Next year the opponents of Hannaism
will rally under the democratic banner
and drive from the house of representa-
tives a majority owing allegiance to
Hanna. In 1900 the people will come
into their estate against. Louis Re-
public.
The lesson of these elections is plain.
II the republican party permits itself
to be ruled by cliques in the interest
of corporate profits or professional pc.
liticaI spectators it must prepare to
accept the inevita bic in the more vital
elections of 1S9S and 19OO.-Pittsburgh
Dispatch.
Seldom have elections covering so
many states given returns so definite
as those received from those just com
pleted. The total result is a splendid
triumph for democracy, magnificent
refutation of the republican slanoer
that the silver sentiment is dying out"

GOLD AND THE PEOPLE.
Defeat of the Bimetallic Commission
Well Deserved.

Defeat of the Bimetallic Commission
Well Deserved.
President McKinley's bimetallic COM
missioners have sailed for home, dis
couraged, defeated, discredited.
Republican newspapers rejoice over
this defeat. The vanquishing of their
own commission gives them satisfac-
ton. Why, then, were these men sent
abroad at an expense of 100000 to the
people? If the gold standard is such a
good thing, why was this effort made by
republican administration to get rid
of it? President Mckinley knows that
the gold standard is not a good thing
for the people. Up to 1894 he fought for
bimetallism and most bitterly con-
demned the conduct of Cleveland in
favoring gold monometallism. When
he sent the commission to Europe
he confessed by his act that the gold
standard was bad for the United States.
But there is distinction between
what is good for the people and what
is good for the money power. Anything
which contracts the currency, which
puts the burden of two money metals
upon one, which depreciates the value
of everything except gold, is good for
the dealers in gold, but unutterably bad
for the masses. The republican party
and the newspapers which support the
theories of that party represent the
bondholders, money dealers and gold
spectators of Wall street. They do not
represent the people, and that is the
reason the encouragement and defeat
IF tho him efal1ie commission is greeted
with joy.
The true friends of silver will not re-
gret the outcome of this matter. The
issue is now clearly made, and the bat
ties of 1898 and 1900 will be fought in
the open, with no false issues to divide
and divert the forces of bimetallism
pressing on to an assured victory.-Chi-
capo Dispatch.

hANNAISM RERuKED
The People firing of BossEzm and
RnnhIafHrv.

The People firing of BoasHzm and
BoOdleIsm.
The people of ten states of the union
have administered rebuke and a warn
ing to Hannaism. Hannaism stands for
repubicanism to-day.
It is extremely doubtful whether the
| warning will be needed, however much
the rebuke may sting. The party which
was syndicated with the oppressive
trusts and monopolies a year ago for the
poor reward of the presidency and the
spoils is too strongly bound to its part
nership by the cohesive force of central
ization and corruption to cut loose now
and present itself to the American peo-
pie as u political organization inspired
with high principles of patriotism and
controlled by motives that have for their
aim the perpetuation unimpaired of the
form of government founded by the
fathers.
The poison of Capitalization was born
in the party. 1t was an inheritance
from its progenitor on which democracy
had been waging war of determination
since Thomas Jefferson gave it the spirit
of conflict. The poison worked slowly
at first, and it was not until the pro-
tective tariff made possible the ac-
emulation of vast fortunes in the hands
of the few that it received an impetus
that sent it coursing through the entire
body of republicanism.
AS a climax, new and dangerous
political boss in the person of Hanna
was invested with absolute command of
the organization. He has done only
what his commission directed and en-
powered him to do. He has syndicated
the whole party in accordance with the
principles and tendencies of centraliza-
ton.
Like all men of his stripe, the first
victory he won with the new forces
placed at his command blinded him to
the rights and privileges of the van
pushed foe, and no semibarbaric Roman
emperor ever tyranized over his help
less victims more than Hanna has over
every man who has had the hardihood
to oppose his wish.
His course has strengthened the
democracy's spirit of resistance. It has
infused new courage into every demo-
cratic heart. Not a genuine democrat
in the land but has been aroused to the
fighting point by Hanna's tactics. Not
an unselfish American, who believes
that the only proper function of govern
ment is to afford to every one of its citi-
zens equal opportunity, but has been
turned against the republican party by
it's shameful Iasion with the trusts and
monopolies. It was these things that de-
feated the republicans from New York
to Colorado and that gave the demo-
Gratis a sweeping victory in the home
town of the man who was elected presi
dent through the debauchery of hun
dreds of thousands of voters with the
money contributed by the enemies of
free government and clean administra-
ton.
The election returns are but a pre-
lude. Next year the opponents of Han
naism will rally under the democratic
banner and drive from the house of rep
resentatives a majority owing allie
glance to Hanna. In 1900 the people will
come into their estate again. The re-
juvenated democracy stands armored
and plumed for the war.-St. Louis Re-
public.

with some lurid adjectives and nouns
accompanying the inquiry. Little Bob
said that he, Sandy, was that corpse;
that Bad Jim would surely kill him;
that he was as good as dead man now,
and that 1T was an uncanNy thing for
live Cinnamon to work alongside a dead
white man or at his direction They
would, therefore, withdraw. And the
whole lot OF the cattle broke for the
lake. Sandy went into his little Office
building and telephoned the headquar-
tiers OF the company, asking for a lot
of new men. These yellow ours have
struck for some fool reason" he said.
They pretend it's because of a row
had with Bad Jim, who seems to have
made them think he's going to kill me
for knocking him off car. But don't
think he will, for he went off into the
timber with two as beautiful black ewes
as"
He did not say any more, for cant
hook came down upon his head and he
fell to the floor, Chong Go Kwee had
come out of the timber.
The curiosity which, is descended from
Eve had caused Becky, away down the
mountain side, to rush to the telephone
as the bell rang. She knew by the sig
| nal ringing that the call was for the
company, but it had been a lonesome
time that morning and she was delight
ed to hear some human voice, even if the
conversation was only about lumber.
| So she listened to the message and
heard its interruption by the sound of
| the falling can't hook. and some intui-
ton told her what it all meant In
| SEPARATION presented the whole picture.
She saw the ferocious Chinaman glar-
ing his hatred OF the dying man; she
saw Jim as he backed toward the door
and look hurriedly up and down the
mountain 1t was a panoramic view.
She saw the giant throw his weapon
into the bushes beside the little office
building and saw him, too, as he looked
uncertainty about him seeking for the
safest, quickest means of escape. She
knew that mountain as well as did the
gin-drinking Chinaman, and she knew
his opportunities. She realized Just
what he must do to get away quickly,
and as though she were there on one Of
| the fat cars looking at him she saw him
| as he shambled over to the flume and
| hurriedly selected his timber. He picked
up one of the cant hooks left by the
deserving Cinnamon and by the grace of
his great strength whirled the beam
over till it poised delicately on the edge
and then dropped into the water. She
saw him straddle it and work it through
the dead water of the level to the edge,
where the swift flow began, and then
she saw the wood and its burden start
on its fugitive journey.
| Then she went into the back room and
lifted down Sandy's Winchester and ex-
auiined it carefully. 1t was in good
condition.
She sat by the window which looked
out upon the flume. The fugitive must
be there in a very few minutes. In her
mind she had followed his movements,
and she felt sure of her reckoning. Now
he was whirling around the big curve
at the Elephant rock, now shooting
down the straight course by the Saddle,

By means of the gold standard the
creditor levies a tax on the debtors
property to the extent of the rise in
gold. Hence the creditor is anxious
to discourage the use of any other form
of money that may, by lessening the
demand for gold, lessen it's value. Great
Britain is the great creditor country OF
the world And this fact accounts for
the adoption and advocacy of the gold
standard by its capitalists. They levy
tax on the producers of the world
for the benefit of the English shylocks

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

In spite of the professed loyalty
of the Foraker legislators Mr.. Hanna
will probably get out a fresh check
book and take a firmer grasp on his
bludgeon.-Chicago Chronicle.
If Mr.. Mckinley and his advisers
have any doubts about the consequences
of federal interference in state cleo
tions, they have only to look at the re-
turns from New York-and Ohio!-N.
Y. World.
Senator Hanna accounts for the
republican breakdown in Ohio by say
ing that good times have made the
people careless" It is strange that
good times should put ginger into the
democracy while operating an opiate
on the other fellows.-Philadelph
Record.
The Dingley bill may, as its ad-
luirers claim, be bringing prosperity to
the country. but it is not having that
effect upon the national treasury. The
receipts of the government for October
are 50. OOo. 900 short of the expenditures.
The October deficit last year was ST.
O0O. 900. showing a difference in favor of
the despised Wilson bill of 100000.
At this rate our prosperity will soon
have to be celebrated by bond issue.
Chicago Chronicle.
There is ample reason for be-
Heving that the Mckinley administra-
ton has yet its greatest crisis to face,
and that the problems it has to solve
lave not yet been brought to where
an immediate solution is necessary.

Nothing Accumulated.

The determined opposition of the
gold standard interests in London has
had its effect upon the British govern
ment, and the decision of the Indian
council not to reopen its minis to the
coinage of silver has been devised as a
means of proving basis of refusal upon
the part of England to join in any in

France is undoubtedly willing to move
in the matter, refusal from the Brit.

The farmers in Ohio and

The farmers in Ohio and else
where who do not own or rent wheat
farms are anxious TO know from Hanna
and the other trumpeters of prosperity
how it Is that, in the dispensation of
good things dropping from the fingers
OF the present administration, other
farmers than those who raise wheat
have not been blessed with a share of
the prosperity. If a republican admin
istration and an excessively high tariff
fail to give prosperity all round it is
not the republican administration and
the excessive high tariff to which the
partial prosperity is due.-New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
