Brysn's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
q great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
Pile can learn a whole lot about silver
and the effect Of cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years. They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them to know during the four short
months of the last campaign. 1t is no.
ticeable that in the states where the ques-
ton was most discussed the MAORI.
ties against Bryan were heavy or his
majorities were Unexpectedly small.
If the silverites will think of the great
amount of work done in the states west
of Pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
are wise and want to win in 1900, con-
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed on some less dangerous line. If
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ING about silver for three years, it would
be difficult for the ''goldbugs" to get
people to listen to their convincing argu-
ments. If our hard times should unfor-
~tunately continue, Bryan might step out
a few days before the 1900 election and
say, II told you so, and a majority OF
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the crime of 1878" was
responsible for the lack Of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage II will nn-
derstand that 16 to l is an undetermined
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by Juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage OF the rest OF
the world in the matter OF prices OF farm
prodncts. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause OF free
silver is lost.

C. E. Taylor OF Minneapolis, "A young
man who has been working around the
city for some time, started out Monday
morning with a crew to thresh for Mrs.
Anderson in Racine township. He was
riding on a hayrack when a board broke
and he fell under the wagon, the wheels
passing over the small OF his back. He
was badly injured and for a time it was
feared his back was broken. A mattress
was procured and he was brought to
the city, taken to the Columbian hotel
and DR.. Dickinson called in. An exam
ination revealed the TACT that no bones
were broken, but that he was danger
ously injured internally. He suffered
agonizing pain and the doctor had him
removed to Fulmer's hospital, where he
is resting easier and will probably re-
cover. He is a member OF u Minneapolis
lodge OF the X. p. and local members oi
that order have been looking after his
welfare.

Mr.. r. Goer, formerly OF Webster,
where, we believe, he studied law u year
or two ago under Atty Sears, was in
town Tuesday with u view to opening
a law Office in this place. He returned
to Bristol OH the evening train, and
since then we have received a letter from
him in which he requests us to
to the public that he had decided to
locate here, and would be here by to-
morrow or Monday. Mr.. Goer comes
welI-recommended and the Globe hopes
to see him meet with the success that
will induce him to make his home in
Bradley permanently.-Bradley Globe.
A pitiful accident occurred in Highland
township last Thursday. As Ole H.
Hagen. residing about twelve miles
south OF here, was cutting flax near his
house, he was Mortified TO see his little
son suddenly raise his head directly in
front OF the binder sickle. 1t appears
the little fellow had fell asleep in the
grain and was awakened by the noise
OF the approaching binder and raised
himself up on his left arm. His father
stopped al quickly as possible but not
until the cruel knives had nearly severed
the left arm near the shoulder, leaving
it dangling by a shred OF flesh and skin.
His parents FASTENED with him to Brad
ley where DR.. Edsall completed the
amputation and dressed the wound. 1t
is said the little sufferer stood the shock
manfully, utte.in ny hardly a whimper
from the time he was injured. He will
recover.

Yale Defeats Wisconsin About Three
Lengths in Two Miles.


Lengths in Two Miles.
NEW HAVEN, Corn, May 29,-Yale won
the two-mile boat race from the University
of Wisconsin on Lake Saltsonstall this aft
ernoon by about three lengths, in ten min
utes and fifty-four seconds, the Wisconsin
eight finishing ten seconds behind. From
start to finish the visiting crew gave Yale
a good battle. Both Fights rowed evenly,
Yale squirting ahead as soon as Referee
Richards's pistol was fired, and never be-
irg overtaken, although the Yale stroke
was lowered during the last half mile and
the Wisconsin crew decreased the distance
between the two boats by half a length.
The race was not started till o'clock.
Wisconsin won the toss for course, and
chose the east side. This gave her the
straighter side of the lake AT the start
the crews settled down to vigorous row
ing. Yale crept steadily to the lead, and
by the time IL quarter of mile had been
traversed was nearly a length ahead. The
a forty-to- the-minute stroke now let down
somewhat, and Yale was timed rowing
about thirty-two to the minute and Wis
consin thirty-four AT the mile stake Yale
had nearly a clear length of water be-
tween her shell and Wisconsin, and the
blue continued to draw gradually away till
half a mile from the finish, then Stroke
Langford of Yale, dropped his pace down
to about thirty, and the Wisconsin: who.
despite their light weight, seemed full OF
life hit up a lively stroke till they crossed
the line. They rowed in good form through
out the race While Yale seemed not TO
catch the water fOTclDIY.
