comDanied by several ladies and W. H..
Mitchell of Atlanta. the southern freight
agent of the B. & O.. railroad, made the
presentation in the blue room of the
White House. The melon was about two
and one-half feet long and measured
seven feet in circumference. 1t was
packed in a golden hamper, raped in the
American flag and entwined with white
silk ribbon. 1t weighed rs pounds. 1t
was secured by the southern office of the

ally gratified with the assurances that it
contained no office-seeker.

INCREASED GOLD OUTPUT.
Abiding to the increased output of
gold and the possibility of its solving
the monetary question, Mr.. Bryan said
that 1t would have no effect on it. So
long as one class can make one dollar
cearer than the other dollar, so long
will they do so. If gold should he
come the more plentiful, certain finan-
ciers would. in the name of the widows
and orphans. seek TO demonetize gold
and remonetize silver.
1 was never a prococious child, but
could always predict that when one
end of teter board went up the other
end went down. The money question is
just that simple. Prosperity is on one
end of the board; money on the other.

Mr.. Bryan was given a tremendous
round Of cheering when the curtain

Mr.. Bryan began with the proposition

"KU-KLUX. ="
Band Raiding Near Walnut Ridge,
Arkansas.

Walnut Ridge. Ark, July 21.-There
is great excitement in Lawrence and
Randolph counties over the continued
outrages committed by a band of men
known as the "Ku Klux." The band
first made its appearance in Randolph
county about a month ago and its op-
erafions were confined TO a few town
ships. but it is spreading until now the
two counties are aroused over their
outrages. Hardly a week passes but
some new outrage is committed.
A number of men and even women
have been dragged from their homes at
night and whipped in a most cruel
manner by the Ku Klux and one wom-
an has died from the effects of a fog
ging administered on her bare back
The persons fiogged have in every case
been citizens with whom the Ku Klux
found some fault. In one case an old
man and his wife were dragged from
their bed. tied TO a tree and whipped
until their backs were raw because they
did not send their daughter to school.

FALL in SILVER.
SILVER POOL LIoUIDATING ITS
HOLDINGS.
Diminished Demand From Japan
May Also Be One of the Causes
Discussed By Bullion Brokers.

New York, July 22.-The Herald says:
Bar silver has declined 10 the lowest
price in two years and private
dispatches from abroad received in
Wall street are TO the effect that the
holders of the white metal have
weakened.
Some of the bullion brokers assume
that this means that the silver pool,
which was formed abroad more than 2
year ago, was llquidating its holdings.
other brokers were of the opinion that
liquidation had taken place some time
ago and the lesser demands by Japan.
among other reasons, was responsible
for the decline.
Outsiders generally call attention to
the fact that recession in price came
simultaneously with the announcement
of the great gold discoveries in the
ClOndyke region.

Men were told that they could not get
any work if silver triumphed. The
employer had been coerced by his
banker, who had been also coerced by
his New York banker. and the hitter
had, in turn, been coerced by these
European financiers. The speaker con-
sidered the proposition that there was
danger of a food of silver in case of
bimetallsm, and met each phase of
the subject with apt illustrations and
sound argument.
You say there may be a flood of
silver, but we have used it for 5000
wears, and never have had a flood of
silver. We have had one flood of water,
but never one flood of silver. 1t is a
pathetic thing. this watching a man

cred a mock speech of an ambassador
from this country to the financiers of
Europe. wherein the latter were asked
to hurt their own interests to help the
people of the United States. The effec-
tive sarcasm was appreciated and hear
tily applauded again and again. George
Washington said it was folly TO ex-
pect favors from nations. 1t is our
policy to say we want bimetaliism. be-

Mr.. Bryan next refuted the assertion
that Jefferson had suspended the
coinage of silver. He stopped the coin

ESCONDIDO, Feb. 4.-The irrigation
district election passed off here and in
the country precincts yesterday without
bloodshed, but in one or two cases the
contest for the office of director was
very warm. The district is divided into
five precincts, each of which is entitled
to a director. In the first precinct Wohl-
ford was elected over Jones. In the sec
ond Jobes an old director, defeated Lin
coin easily. In the third Crawford won
over Stewart, the incumbent. In the
fourth Harkins defeated James. The

polling place was kept in blue blaze

and something Of a local politician, has
always been warm supporter of the

posted men in the district, but he and
Mr.. Wohlford, president of the Bank of
Escondido, and also president of the
board of irrigation, have for a long
time been at almost swords points, and
funny thing about the election is that
while Cravath was put up in the fifth
precinct and elected principally on ac-
count of his opposition to Wohford Mr.
