Bryan's Mistaken Policy.

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion OF the silver question ut this
time? 1t is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the pco-
pie can learn whole lot about silver
and the effect of cheap money upon
wages and savings III 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 i'll the states where the ques-
tion was most discussed the majori-
ties against Bryan We're heavy or his
majorities We're unexpectedly small.
III the silverites will think Of the great
amount of work done in the states west
of Pennsylvania, cast of Colorado and
north of Tennessee and reflect upon the
result of the election, they will, if they
;re wise and want to win i'll 1900, con-
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed OH some less dangerous line. If
Bryan ;lna his friends would stop tall
ing about silver for tlrcc years, ii would
be difficult for the ''gcldbuss' to get
people TO listen 10 their convincing, arsu-
mcilts. LII orr hard times should ,lnfOr.
tunatoly continue, Bryan might step out
Il few days before the 1900 election and
say, ii told you so, and Il 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 eurners will un-
dcrstand that l6 to l is an untlcrhandel
:'c:!sine to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot By Juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage of the rest OF

How the ugly but TSothsons crsae.fss
Are Caught.

Are Caught.
Mr.. A. Ulrich Of Chicago, who once
lived in New Orleans and is familiar
with the matter Of which he speaks,
sends in the following very interesting
account Of the way in which crawfish
arc taken by the men who fish for them.
He says:
"Around New Orleans there are
swamps which are always being hunted
for crawfish, and yet the supply is un-
limited. So numerous are they that one
cannot leave fish ON string i'll the wa
ter, for they will tear the fish into
shrcds.
ga small net about the size Of but
terfy net, about ten cords, each two feet
long, and 8 cents worth of meat COM
pletc the outfit for one person.
''In the swamp there are small islands
and long necks of land which interscct
ono another i'll all directions and upon
which the catchers go.
''The start is usually made in the
early morning, when the sun does not
shine SO fercely and walking is much
easier
"Arriving at their destination, they
cut their meat into small pieces about
two inches around. Each piece is now
attached to one of the cords. After this
they are thrown into the water, and the
other end Of the cord is attached to q
stick which is stuck into the ground sc
that the crawfish cannot pull the meat
away. One usually waits IL few minutes,
and then when the cord is gently raised
the catcher will see about half dozen
crawtish with their pinchers stuck into
tho meat, eating ravenously.
"The net is now gently put into the
water directly under them, and with u
sudden jerk they are landed, for as scon
as they strike the air they will let loose
of the meat.
"rhe crawfish are of large species.
The writer has caught some measuring
10 inches from tip to tip. These ure by
no means uncommon.
"'The average catch for three persons
is about an ordinary bucketful. Tho
meat when prepared right makes de.
licious delicacy. Forrest and Stream.
