: If Mr.. Bryan's book ever is drama
tized, will the play be a farce, a bur
lesque or q tragedy?
If Andrew Jackson had been present
at some of those banquets, he would
surely have tried to prove an alibi.
1t cost only SIS to inaugurate the Pop
ulist Governor of Colorado this year,
but perhaps he is that kind of q gov
ernor.
Ex-Governor Waite has retired to
private life. How much better it would
have been for him and for Colorado IL
he had never left it!
Mr.. Watson has a streak of meanness
in his makeup, because he is inclined
to taunt Mr.. Palmer because he got
only $4,000 votes, while Mr.. Watson
got $4,000.
Mr.. Bryan continues to make capital
out Of the recent bank failures, but an
inspection of his lecture accounts will
prove beyond any question that it Is
still much harder to get money into a
bank than to get it out.
1t is announced that Ambassador
Bayard on his return to this country
will reform the politics Of Delaware"
Since MI. Bayard has been away they
have been cutting rates down there I'M
til the prices for votes have become de-
moralized. A new union scale should
be adopted.

Mckinley Over BRYAN.


The plurality for Mckinley over
Bryan's total on his two tickets is 61S.-
742. In comparing the last election
with previous ones. however, the fact
should not be overlooked that women
voted for President in November for the
first time in both Colorado and Utah.
and contributed nearly half Of the 1884,
$50 plurality for Bryan in Colorado,
and 5O,9S6 in Utah, the excess Of males
in each State being very slight. On the
basis Of previous contests, therefore,
McKinley's plurality would be about
100000. This is not SO much as was
claimed by Republicans Immediately
after the election, but 1t is really more
impressive than the larger plurality of
763,O07 for Grant over Greeley in 1872.
In that year the Republicans still n
trolled the count in most of the South
ern States, and gave Grant such ma
jorities as $4,000 in South Carolina and
$4,000 in Mississippi. In the great
Northern States between the Hudson
River and the Mississippi Bryan as a
rule was beaten far more badly than
Greeley-by 26S,325 in New York, for
example, as against IS, 1856 in 1872; 1885,
072 in Pennsylvania, as compared with
1877, 548; 1857 in Illinois, against 81.
O08; and 102,612 in Wisconsin, against
1880. Indiana and Michigan are the
only States in all this section which fell
behind the record of 1872. No two au-
thorities yet agree as to the vote re-
ce1ved by the vnrious candidates for
Prekdent at the November election

New Method.

A man who was for some years in
the log and lumber business on the
shores of Lake Michigan tells a little
incident illustrative of the Irishman's
unwillingness to acknowledge his ig-
norance Of any subject.
One day a young IrishRan applied
for work.
"Can you raft and boom logs?" asked
the lumber merchant.
"Av .coorse, sorr,' returned the unem-
ployed, with cheering promptness.
We'll, then," said the lumber mer-
chant, "go up on the gap above the rail-
road bridge and boom all the logs you
find with my mark. Any of the rafts-
men will tell you about the mark, the
locality Of the gap, and so FORTH"
The Irishman hesitated q moment,
and then, with an ingenious smile, no
said:
'I'l be afther goin' directly, SOFT; d.
you boom the logs as we do in the ovid
country, I dunno? Is it wild a shovel
ye boom 'em, SORT, or how"

II contracted rheumatism during my

was able to do no labor whatever, and
eventually l thought l had not long to

in q very responding condition, as my
worldly affairs were going from bad to
worse, when in one of our papers I read of
a man who described himself as having
been even worse than l was, and who had
been cured by the use of DIR. Williams

l had not taken the contents of one box
when my heart trouble disappeared, hut l
continued to take the pills, and soon found

A Curious Accident.

A curious accident occurred recently
at Calais, France. 1t appears that while
a huge boiler was being drawn through
the streets by sixteen horses. the up
per portion of it came in contact with
overhead electric light wires, breaking
them. Some of the wires caught on
the boiler and the framework of the
truce, and in an instant all the horses
were knocked down. Several of them
were killed. The men engaged in trans
porting the boiler received violent
shocks from the effects of which some
of them died. The accident caused

John Sherman in the Cabinet.

John Sherman i'm the Cabinet.
The selection of John Sherman to be
the premier of the new administration
is a gracious and fitting compliment
from the President-elect to his faithful
friend and counselor, who for a quarter
Of q century or more has been one Of
the strongest figures in public life.
A long, honorable and distinguished
political career, in which he has given
to the nation the fruits Of n wide legis-
lative experience and the benefit of a
counsel that was ever wise, patriotic
and just, will enable him to bring to
this high Office a prestige that cannot
fail to command the respect and conf
dence of the American people.
Few men have been the recipients Of
such continuous and never-failing ex-
p%ressions of popular regard through
such a long period of time as has this
rugged and austere Nestor of American
republicanism. From the time he pre-
sided over the first Republican conven-
ton ever held in Ohio. in 1855, until the
present time. he has been conspicuous
in the public eye as a %forceful and crea-
tive factor in national affairs. There
has been nothing spectacular or me-
teoric about his public career. His life
work has been in the service of his
country. and that service has been
characterized by n serious, thoughtful
and dignified conservation to duty
