WIN. j. BRYAN CATECHISED.
Opinion Asked on Green backs and Ma
tionaI Ownership of Corporations.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. 13.-W. J. Bry-
an is encountering an unexpected ad-
versary on his Kentucky tour. When
he spoke at Glasgow Saturday a tall,
young man arose in the audience and
demanded to know if Mr. Bryan was
enough in earnest in his fight on the
money power to favor greenbacks and
government ownership OF corporations.
The first was:
DO you favor national ownership of
railroads and telegraphs and their op-
GRAFTON by the government in the inter
est of the people, or leaving them in the
hands of private corpOrations?"
Mr.. Bryan replied:
I am going to fight the battle in
front of me before I fight the battle be
yond that. As 1 heard a POpulist say
last fall, 1 am not in favor of the gov
ernment ownership of railroads while
the ROthSchilds own the government -
The second question was:
IF all the currency intended to cir
culate as money shall be redeemabIe in
coin as demanded by the Chicago plat
form how do you propose to prevent
bankers and money sharks presenting
this paper currency at the treasury,
demanding gold and silver for its re-
demptiOn and thus lOoting the treasury
of its coin reserve and forcing issues of
bonds to repleniSh it?'
Mr.. Bryan replied:
Until the government announced
that it would redeem its obligations in
gold there was no trouble, and when
the government says it will redeem it's
obligations in gold and silver at it's
own option there will be no more runs
on the treasury. The Republicans are
engaged in a conspiracy to retire the
greenbacks so why should we not Join
hands to prevent this rather than wait
until they are retired and then make a
fight to get them baclx2'

COLORADO'S GOLD OUTPUT.
Unprecedented Production All Over
the Country.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-The Times Herald
publishes reports from all the gold-pro-
ducIng sections of the country, show
ing an enormous increase in the output
for 1897, and giving Colorado the credit
for the greatest increase and the big
gest production. On the subject the
Times Herald saws:
Gold production in the United States
has increased with marvellous rapidity
during the current year. The craze of
the klondike river regions should not
obscure the great facts as they exist.
Klondike's total yield for 1897 seems,
roughly, to be about $4,000 900. That is
a comfortable sum, but it is a mere
nothing when compared with the Won

ARRESTED FOR BATHING.

. The above caption appears rather start
ling since this is q free country xud the
proverb that Cleanliness Is next to Cod
nness" is taught from early infancy, but
IL was not the mere act of bathing that
caused the arrest, nor was it because there
Is any edicC in the city ordinances pre-.
venting any one who realizes that he is In
need of such healthful necessities, but it
does restrict one to places which are not
fprquented by people, especially ladies'.
lt has been the habit of some of the boys
TO go In bathing near the Walnut street
bridge and in full view OF any one who
should happen to be q passenger on the
street cars of that locality. Yesterday
one of the city policemen surprised sev-
eral of the boys while they were enjoying
themselves, and they will be forced to an
swer before Jusicce Wood in the police
court this morning. A great deal of COM
plant has been made from citizens living
i'll that locality and it Is hoped that this
prompt and efficient action on the part of
the city officers will have the desired
effect and stop the nuisance.

A Nine Million Crop.

New YORK, Oct. 13.-The Daily
Dry Goods Record tomorrow will say:
Working on those lines by which such
close estimates t. the actual cotton
crops Of the last two years were OBJ
taincd the figures just now obtained
indicate crop for 1S97-9S, which
varies from 9,953,7SS bales to 1891,
532 bales Of 500 pounds each. For
the last crop Of 1861 our estimate
was S,722, ,9O1 bales, against S,9l4,01l
bales, as the actual returns, while the
estimate for the previous year, or
1896 was Z, ,142, 900 bales, compared
with 7,162,473 bales. The closeness
of these estimates to the actual re-
turns has stamped them with the i'm
print Of correctness, and for the cur
rent crop year our estimate is submit
ted with degree of confidence that,
barring unexpected happenings, the
yield for 1S97-9S will not exceed the
maximum figures Of 9, ,37l, ,522 bales of
500 pounds each.
