CAUSE OF BRYAN'S BIGVOTE
Not Silver Says Prof Gun ton But the
Discomfort of Labor.

New York, Feb. 13.-'"The elimination
of the reasons for Bryan's great vote in
New York." said Prof. George Gunton
of the School for Economics, to the reg
ular Republican organization of the
TWenty-ffth assembly district at No.
II West Twenty-fourth street last night
was the indifference of the Republican
party to the labor question.
The Bryan campaign was one of the
most extraordinary events of this CEN
fury in. many respectS-in the first
place, in its candidate. He was a man
unknown to letters, art, science or So
GEOLOGY. There was no department of
human usefulness in which he had won
any distinction.
ASIDE from wire-pulling and log
his nomination by a speech charged
with eloquent invectiVe and closing
with stolen peroratiOn But he had a
larger and more enthusiastic following
than any candidate for the presidency
ever had.
The curious part of it was that
though his arguments on the money
question, single-tax, prices, etc, were
one after another so completely routed
that even he ceased to talk about them
this did not affect his following
"On election day he had more votes
than have been necessary to elect any
other president. This shows that the
silver question was not the real thing.
but only the battle cry.
",Anaalyze his following and you
will find there were not silver
men enough to elect an al
derman. The most intelligent of labor
ing men and trades unionists were with
him. He hadn't any labor views. If he
had any intellectual consistency he
would be an avOwed anarchist.
The socialism in our cities, the idea
that profits, interests, etc, are unjuStly
acquired by the rich class, was the first
cause of his following"

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles Quick
", Painlessly, Without Danger.

People go along for years suffering
with piles. They try this and that and
the other thing: from carrying a buck
eye to getting treatment from a physl-
clan. They obtain temporary RELIEF,
maybe, but they are never quite cured
A little strain in lifting, excessive fati-
que, little constipation or little olar-
rhoea and the piles come back
They don't seem to amount to much,
but they Danish sleep and appetite No
position is comfortable There IS intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling of
weight in the perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many. salves on sale will afford temper
arv relief If the case is of long stand
ing there is only one speedy and sure
remedy 1t is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even
in light cases it is the safest thing to
use. Other applica lions may cure and
NAV not. Pyramid Cure is always GER
tain. always reliable, always brings
comfort at once. It's prompt use saves
months of severe suffering. In extreme
cases it will save surgical
operations and their attend
ant dangers and discomforts. 1t
is better than knife. Will cure easier,
quicker and safer Thousands have used
it Thousands have been cured by it.
The cost is trifling compared with what
it does The price is so cents. Most
anybody would gladly pay ten dollars
to be rid of piles

HISTORIC OLD LACE.
Thirteen Feet Made in 1851 Now
Sells for $4,000

New York, Feb. 13-Mr G. X Nc
C1anahan of Washington. a guest at
the Bradley Martin Ball, picked up to-
day for $1,000 a rare bit of old Irish
lace which has for a generation been
in the Cooper family.
There is a little less than 10 feet of
the lace and it has lain for years in
the safe of Colonel Payne in the Times
building, where it was placed for safe
keeping by Walter Cooper, the manu-
f%cturer of printing ink.
In 1851, when Queen Victoria offered
prize of G25 for the best exhibit of
Irish lace at the Crystal Palace EXPOSE
ton in London, this specimen, the work
of the poor but skillful girls of Kill
maule, took the prize for which thous-
ands competed. At the exposition it
lace, and is still designated by that
name. In design it shows the rose,
the shamrock and the thistle, inter-
woven with ferns. The rose repre-
sents England, the shamrock Ireland
and the thistle Scotland, of course. 1t
is the only known sample of Cross
MeCarrick lace of its size in existence.
The piece is four and one-half yards in
length and one and one-quarter yards
in width.
United States Senator John Minor
Bolts of Virginia, a man OF large
wealth, visited the exposition of 1851.
He fell in love with the handiwork or
those poor Irish girls, bought the lace
for 300 guineaS and brought it to Nir-
ginia- About that time Julia Dean
was a leading actress in this country
and she was engaged to be married to
the son of Senator Bolts colleague,
United States Senator Robert Y. Hayne,
the fiery statesman of South Carolina
whose debate with Daniel Webster is a
part of history. Senator Bolts, as
token of regard to his friend, gave the
lace to Julia Dean as a wedding gift.
Her marriage, however, proved I'M
happy, and after a life of many vicis-
STUDIES the actress secured a divorce
in Salt Lake City, and shortly there
after became the wife of Colonel James
G. Cooper of Salt Lake City. Colonel
Cooper is the brother of Walter Cooper
of this city.
Upon the death of Mrs. Cooper, in
1868 she left, among many other things,
a large trunk which was supposed to
contain only manuscript plays and
parts of plays which composed the rep
ertoire of the famous actress The
trunk was moved from city to city and
town to town in the west for years with
the Coopers, and it finally fell into the
hands of Walter, who resurrected the
lace. That was II years ago. Since
then Mr.. Cooper has, by diligent inves-
tigation, proved its sentimental and
historic worth, and, under extreme
pressure, consented to part with it for

become fully satisfied that it was only
a question of a short time when he
would have to give up. He had been

in Europe and America, but got no per-
manent relief. One day he picked up

got a bottle of it, the first dose helped
him and its continued use cured him.

LONDON PREACHER
Rev. T. B. Meyer Tells New York
Ministers What to Do.

New York, Feb. 13.-Many ministers
of all denominations gathered yesterday
afternoon in Carnegie Music hall to
hear the first of a series of talks on
evangelical work delivered by the Rev.
F. B. Meyer, pastor of Christ's Church,
London. Every seat in the large hall
was occupied, and Russell Sage left
Wall street to sit in box near the
Mr.. Moody introduced him and then
in slow, measured tones he began his
address. Taking for his text Pauls
words, Lest 1 myself should be
castaway," Mr. Meyer applied it to the
ministers and asked if they did not
fear sometimes that they were casta-
ways from faith.
May 1 confess he said, ''that this
has become the great dread of my own
life. If a week passes that no one tells
me of help through my ministry l sit
down and say Good God, has the time
come to me that have become a cast
away?'
I'VE preach the same old sermons,
go through the same mechanical rou-
tine and there is no stir of life, no Rd-
dition to the church roll.
Il am not here to denounce specific
forms of sin If 1 did the result would
be that people not directly attacked
would pass my words on to others as
not fitting them. But 1 am here to
bring you face to face with God and al
low the great white searchlight of his
glory to play upon your conScienceS. l
have not come to seattle you, to de-
nounce you, to hurl thunder bolts at
you. 1 have been too near the pit my
self.
You expect me to bring you a sys-
tenn of spirit truth, and have one. You
expect me to tell you how to receive
the Holy Ghost of Pentecost, and I
have that blessed message. But dare
not go on with these subjects until 1
have searched you and introduced into
your hearts a spirit of eelf-scrutiny. 1
must begin at the bottom-the root Of
self-conscience.
Are you quite sure that some slight
and beautiful form has never come into
your life and diverted your love of God;
that some appetite has taken such hold
of you that you cried L must have it,
from this meeting to your homes Don't
let people stop you to talk. Brush them
aside. Hasten to some dark closet and
get down on your knees and pray that
you may not be a castaWay.'

VIM. Mueller Returns .

VIM. Mueller one of the pioneers OF
this young city arrived Wednesday from
a trip to the west coast, after having
passed about ten months in Chicago.
He is hale and cheerful, and seems glad
to be back once more to the haunts OF
good men. Mr.. Mueller started a store
of general merchandise at Neihart in
1884, selling in 1892eto Sweeney Bros
While engaged in business here he was
always obliging and generous to pros.
pectors. and the many poor mortals he
has grubstaked in days of yore will al
ways bear kind memories of a friend
who anne when a friend was needed.
Talking to Mr.. Mueller upon the con-
ditions of the country he said the efforts
of the gold press to whistle up an in
dustrial breeze are of no avail. He
thought in some favored localities 8
feeling of prosperity might be felt, but
that the great mass of the people, es-
pecially in the cities is in a deplorable
condition. Of course the farmer cannot
enjoy good times with falling prices OF
his products, but he can live. And We,
the hundreds of thousands and millions
in our cities, who are almost or alto.
gether without the necessaries of life
are a subject of consideration. The
fact is that the newspaper press of tn,
country generally denies that such con
ditions exist but an investigation in any
of our cities will prove it true. Mr.
Mueller will remain at Neihart for thu
summer.

4 COHCENTRATOR ASSURED.
Plans Completed for the Erection of
a Big Plant, and Ground will be
Broken Next Week.

As the HERALD has previously an
nounced, the plans for the new concen-
traitor are we'll under way and making
progress as fast as possible. The de-
tails concerning a site for the plant hav-
ing all been arranged last week, the To-
cation of the dump was the only re.
naming question. This led to consid.
cradle speculation for a time, and on
Saturday d. J. Condor and j. L. Mel
hart made a special trip to White Sui
phur Springs to try to obtain from the
Florence people a site on the Concen-
trated lode. Being unable to talk bus
mess with this company they returned
and on Monday the committee of our
citizens made a turn by which the sur
face ground of the Spider lode, west Of
Belt creek is allowed for use by the
Diamond R for a dump for their con-
centrator.
This clears the last obstacle in the
way of the approaching season of good
cheer, and the making of our camp is
assured. The day of industrial progress
is breaking and the croakers of gloom
and dependency are making themselves
few and far between.
