At Their Word.

There is kind of blunt, rude tray
eler that well deserves such a reproot
as is mentioned in the Golden Penny:
Y party of English visitors were be-
ing shown round n famous Scotch abb
hey, and one of them said to the guide,
"Now, old fellow, we don't want any
of your cock-and-bull stories about this
place! Tell us what you are sure is
true"
'Ay, sirn' quietly replied the guide,
and he walked on in silence.
He led the party through the abbey,
and said, "Ye've seen the old abbey"
Yes" said the Englishman. Cant
you tell us anything about it?"
1.-THE exact truth" returned the Scot,
as that the abbey is old, and Gamma
swear to any more aboot it." and he
left them.

How n Fortune Was Lost.

A London electrician recently in
vented an apparatus calculated to
greatly simplify certain process of
manufacture. This he perfected in
his own factory and professionally
patented. Other interests then occu-
pied his attention, and, by some mis-
chance, he forfeited his right to com.
plete the patent. Illness afterward
intervened, and in his absence the
apparatus went wrong, and q work
man was called in to put matters
right. He realized the value of the
invention, thoroughly mastered the
intricacies of the apparatus and
straightway drew up specification
and obtained letters patent. Almost
at once he disposed of the right to use
the apparatus to q certain number OF
firms, and found himself in a moment
the richer by close upon $500, 900.
Meantime the actual inventor merely
enjoys the right to use the apparatus
in his own works.

Democratic Gain.

All the gains made by the Democratic
forces this year have been in the East. East
of Ohio and north of the Potomac they
nominated on platforms Olltspoken for me
gold standard, were nominated by con-
ven.ion that refused to indorse the Chicago
platform They gained six seats in the South
and had they held the same ratio of gain
in the West they would have controlled the
house. But instead Of holding their own
the Republicans have made net gain of

mated, showing clearly that fusion was not
as strong in the West as was he Demo cratic
party acting independently III the East The
returned to the party, because the party
nominated gold bugs. In the West the fus-
ionsts nominated silver men. hence the
gold bugs Of the West voted for the Re-
publican candidates, while thousands Of
Populists refused to vote at all or voted
the Republican ticket. Thus we see a fall

WAR IN THE DEM. CAMP.

Milwaukee Advance.
Now that the war Is over, perhaps the
peoples mind can be centered little on
their own miserable condition. I think
see a little streak of daylight in the politi-
cal horizon. There is a merry war brew
ing in the Democratic camp between the
eastern and western end of the party. The
eastern end says to the western end:
1--WE ignored the Chicago platform and
fusion and gained 10 members Of congress.
You in the west conducted your campaign
on the Chicago platform and fused, and as
a result lost q members of congress: now
DROP the agitation of the money question
and We can raise money in the east to con-
duct our campaign in 1900. And the last
campaign demonstrated that you cannot
carry on a successful campaign without
money"
In line with this policy Richard Croker
the Tammany boss has visited Chicago to
consult with Mayor Harrison who is luke
warm on the Chicago platform and is at
war with Altgeld. AS a farther evidence
Of this, Senator Teller and Chas A. Towne
of Minnesota, chairman of the Silver Re-
publican committee, have had a private
consultation in Chicago with Altgeld. AS
a result the city collector Of Chicago, JO-
seph Martin, has rendered his resignation,
giving as his reason that he cannot hold
office by appointment of Mayor Harrison,
because the latter is not acting in har-
mOny with Democratic principles as laid
down in the Chicago platform.
Martin is a firm friend of Altgeld and
one of his best lieutenantS.
An item in a New York paper announces
that there is to be a conference of leading
Democrats in that city in the near future,
to map out a party policy. Among others
ex-Gov. Stone of Missouri whose views
on the silver question had undergone some
modification" would attend
All this means fight and that Mayor
Harrison is to be the rival of w. j. Bryan
in 1900 and that the money question is to
be shelved by the Democrats.

BEAUMONT'S VIEWS.

This is what that old war horse Ralph
Beaumont, thinks of the election results
The election is over and the Republicans
have lost a few congressman, but still
nave working majority in the house, but
nave gained enough state legislatures to
give them working majority in the United
States senate. This victory shows with the
large stay-at-hOme vote that, no matter
how much the people may dislike the Re-
publ1cans they have no confidence in the
democratic party as a reform party. And
those Peoples Party men who have gone
over and made their bed with the Demo-
cratic party Will never see the Republican
party supplanted by that political her
maphrodite now known as the Democratic
party with gold head in the East and a
silver tail in the West You cannot breed
reform ideas with malformation of that
Kind and the people know it, and the best
thing that the fusion Populist can do now
IS to at once retire from the unclean thing
and demand new party under new name
as means of redeeming reforms from
disgrace and disrepute. In order to get
majority in favor Of the principles of the
feoples Party we must get them from the
Republlcans, and they can never be OBJ
tanned if they know that they must get
the legislation through the Democratic
party And for one we have no desire to
advise the rank and file of the Republican
party to give their votes to place the Demo-
cratic party in power. We know there is
not single plank in the Chicago platform
that had the Democrats gained a majority
at the election that could have commanded
the solid vote Of that party in congress-
The Democratic party of the past is as
sondly plutocratic as the Republican party
But this election gives the Republicans the
majority in both houses at the next ses-
sion of congress. They can now grant the
charter for an international bank. They
can pass the bill to retire the greenbacks.
and all the other devilish legislation that
they nave inaugurated. They have full
sweep with an apparent Endorsement from
the people to go ahead, and perhaps it is
an Tor the best. The sooner the plutocrats
forge the chains of slavery on the people as
the only means of awakening them to the
dangers of the situation the better. It is
bitter pill, but they will learn through
no other method"

MID-RCAD TICKET HURT EUSTIS.

The fusion Popuists have always called
the Md-Rcaders assistant Republicans, and
claim that we could not have taken a bet
ter way to elect Eustis than by putin up
third ticket. While we have said nothing
about it in public, we have said to our
friends right along, and have written let
tiers in which we claimed that the Mid Road
ticket being in the field would do more for
the election of Lind than anything that
could have been devised. Our reasons for
saying so are logical, and the outcome has
proved the truth of our prediction, that
Lind would be elected and the ticket would
be defeated. Judging from the talk of Mid
Readers and from the letters we receiv-
ing, we come to the conclusion that IS per
cent of those who voted the Mid-Road
ticket would have voted for Eustis if no
Mid-Road ticket had been in the field.
But as things have turned out, the vote
of the Mid-Roaders would not have helped
Mr. Eustis, even if he had it all. We have
had many Republicans, even bankers and
lawyers, say to us within the past year that
if it were not for the fact that John Lind
believed in free silver and other Populist
heresies, they would vote for him in pref
erence to any Republican in the state. The
fact that old-time Populists. the men who
made the party, put up ticket of their
the ground that Lind was not
POpulist, and the further fact that Lind
said the silver question was not an issue in
the campaign, and that he was neither
Populist nor Democrat convinced the in
dependent Republicans that they had moth
ing to fear from Popusm with John Lind
at the helm of state. These are the men
who elected John Lind Governor and we
see no reason to be sorry for what they did
Nearly all the Republicans claim that it
was the Scandinavian vote which elected
Lind, and intimate that any man who could
prevail on the legislature to put "Ole" as
a prefix and son as an affix to his name
would be sure of election.
But the assurance is not true and will
react upon the Republican party in the fu-
ture The Scandinavians are an honest race
of people, and if they voted for John Lind
it was because he had the reputation Of
being on honest man. We say with Captain
Lowe. editor of the Faribault JeffersOnian
a Mid Road paper, that John Lind will make
a good governor and that he will have our
loyal support.-The Initiator.

Honest Talk Anyway.

madison, Wis, Democrat, Gold Bug.)
The Wausau Pilot looks, as we'll it
may, with ill-disguised disdain upon
the doodle book and the muley COW as
effective campaign issues, and regards
with just feeling of indignation those
treacherous tricksters who secured in
dorsement of the national platform, and
then, the whipped ours, sneaked away
from it in the campaign. Whether one
is able or not to agree with the Pilots
theories relative to the potency of the
money issue as a political winner, he
nevertheless cannot fail to honor it's
loyalty to the silver cause, and consist
ency and fearlessness in proclaiming its
convictions. Speaking of the recent
election it says:
The Democratic party in Wisconsin this
wear tried an experiment, and the expert
ment deserved to fail and did fail The
party could have won upon fair, square
fight on the money question And II, per-
chance, it We're defeated on that issue by
a small majority, it could have gained
strength for the next battle. But it hap
pened that the party found itself in the
hands of the leaders. who while they
avowed themselves in accord with the Chi
cago platform, were afraid to take bold
and open stand, and sought to win votes
from the god-bugs by pretending that
there was no such issue in the campaign.
Such schemes have won for the Republican
party, but there are reasons why the Re-
publicans can win by fooling the people,
and why the Democrats cannot. In the
Republican ranks there was an utter lack
Of enthusiasm, as the vote shows. and in
the farming precincts the vote dropped to
