advanced but moderately and are be-
low the level of 1892, while speculative
markets are all declining with curious
unanimity as If the large crops which
make grain and cotton weak would not
assure increased business to railways,
and warrant better prices for stocks.
Speculation in wheat and cotton has
been set back by bright crop prospects.
Numerous appeals for speedy deliveries
disclose more rapid distribution already
than had been expected, and in textile
manufactures the works are hindered
from taking as liberal orders as they
might by doubts about future prices,
though having enough to do for some
time. The advance in cotton goods
has been checked by the decline in ma
terial, but in woolen goods the advance
has been small compared with the rise
in wool, which is helped by stronger
prices at London sales"
Bradstreet's says "The tendency is
to increase estimates Of the wheat crops
and increase the probable yield of cot
ton. The price movements show long
unchanged list this week, including va
riOus iron and steel staples, wool, hides,
print cloths, lumber, nails, "copper" pork,
beef, coffee and sugar. Increases are
confined to a nominal advance for an
thracite coal, 25 cents for Bessemer pig
iron, fractional gains for leaf tobacco,
naval stores, butter, lard and another
advance for woolen goods. Potatoes
have reacted from the extremely high
prices at the West and cotton is off
further Lead is lower, as are corn, oats
and flour, in sympathy with wheat,
which dropped 2 cents on Bradstreet's
reported increase of nearly 100000 in

MR.. BRYAN'S LETTER TO NEW YORK
DEMOCRATS,

The following is taken from the New
York World as reprinted in Silver
Knight -Watchman:
A copy of the muCh-talked-Of letter
sent by William J. Bryan to the Tam
many leaders, which was suppressed by
them, was passed around among a few
of the silver men Monday. The original
letter was said to be in the possession Of
either Congressman Sulzer or Senator
Brown. Neither could be found Mon
day night to explain how the letter was
given publicity, or to verify its verbal
accuracy.
Mr.. Bryan was asked by the corre-
spondent Of the World in Lincoln, Neb.,
several days ago for copy of the let
ter. Mr.. Bryan said that the letter was
private one, and that he was reluctant
to interfere or interpose in a purely
local campaign only as the one in New
York. The letter is as follows:
"A triumph of the Democracy Of
Greater New York, except under the
auspices of the issue that animates the
party, will have the same moral effect
as renewed and affirmed triumph Of
the agencies led by Senator Hanna.
When parties cease to represent GER
tain fixed principles, the supreme pre-
rogative Of the ballot becomes prosti-
tuted to contest between organizations

Professor Chosh, of the University of
Calcutta, in an article on the silver
question in the October North American
Review, says England may be forced
to consent to international bimetallism.
''If, however, Notwithstanding every en-
treaty, she proves false to her own and
the worlds interests, then she may learn
to her cost that other nations can act
without her and may see the very thing
come to pass in retribution which she
SO long opposed. If she still continues
to block the way, If Senator Wolcott's
mission fails, and the Indian mints re-
main unopened, then the last hope Of
India must lie in Mr.. Bryan"

The Globe-Democrat thinks the sub

The reform strength had been spent In
the struggle for platform victory. It Is
too good to be true, l said that Bryan
or Altgeld or Sibley will be named. Less
than one OF these men would have been
defeat Not that there were not other
true men among the leaders; a full state
ment Of my meaning would make this
letter too lengthy) But when the mar
velous news flashed along the wires that
Bryan had been named and that the
voice of the people at Chicago had really
been heard and needed, sent up such
thanks to the God Of Nations as my
anxious soul had not rejoiced in for
many weary months.
l believe the people of this republic
won a great victory last fall. A far,
far larger vote was registered for liberty
and justice than my most sanguine
moods anticipated. l believe that the
vantage ground won and the progress
registered for reform at the last cleo
tiOn has been more than held. There Is
a steady, wholesome gain, and believe
that 1900 will see the federated forces
Of reform marching under the banner
OF free silver" and the Initiative and
referendum" with open field toward all
good legislation for the people, and this
mighty and invincible force will achieve
not only a moral and educational vic
tory, but full and entire power to enact
wise laws and secure just government.
wish further to state that l believe
innumerable conversions have been
made and incalCulable good done by the
fraternizing OF Populists, Democrats and
free silver Republicans. do not con-
slider it at all lowering Of the tone Of

winning by itself consider the happiest
situation that of the present, where
three conventions, meeting at same time
and place, agree with the best Of spirits
to make common cause against COM
mon enemy, each working along the
lines deemed most important.
Unless the national political status
quo is deranged, I believe that 1900
must be won by the same methods we
see In miniature in Nebraska, in Iowa
and in Kansas. The crisis is too near,
the danger too great, to await the slow
process Of upbuilding Of single party
able to save. Moreover, believe the
day of large, arrogant, all-contrOlling
partyism with all it's attendant evils,
will have forever passed away when the
federated forces have OverthrOWn the
Republican British gold standard party.

had trembled when she first noted the evil
dences of their sincere attachment. But
how could she have the heart 10 dim the
bright Joy in Barry's eye; how could she
point out to him the insurmountable bar
rier of wealth that would oppose his love
some day! And now the end had come.
Banker Morse had learned that his daugh-

young village physician. She, Mrs. Nor
ton. had learned that afternoon of an
angry scene at the mansion, in which the
purse-proud Morse had told his child he
would rather see her dead than the wife
of a nameless, penniless country doctor,
and they were packing up now to leave
Lupton forever.
Madam. can you direct mel am look

The widow looked up. Then her heart
began to tremble. She knew the speaker,
though he did not know her-the great
man from the city.
She saw in his nervous, suppressed man
ner the anger that was ready to flash
forth at slight provocation. She guessed
his mission-he had come to parry bitter
words with the young man who had
stolen his daughter heart.

"Will you not come in and wait for him.
The banker twirled his great watch
chain furiously, reflected impatiently, and
nodded with curtness. Then as she
showed him into the neat sitting room and
placed her flowers on a table, and a sword
and belt above it told their own story,
token of sudden interest came into the
visitors eyes.
"You-you are soldiers widow. mad
ami" he insinuated, almost reverently.
"Yes. there is my hero"
She was heart full, and, pointing to a
picture on the wall, she left the room,
weeping over tender memory, weeping
because she knew this proud man had
come to crush her Barry's heart
That" echoed the banker, arising,
pale and startled. "that!' but the widow
was gone. and did not hear him.

her mysterious visitor to Barry that day.

that moment the widow comprehended
that her darling boy would never know
how nearly he had lost the woman he
loved.

the law in regard to dogs in general as
