He says: Beside many proofs Of this

rioting is confined to the richest districts

clericals to foment disorders, hoping there

favor Of republic which might pave the
way to a restoration Of the temporal power
of the pope"
The Vienna correspondent Of the Daily
telegraph, describing the riots at Milan.
says:
"One thousand persons were arrested. 600
killed and 1000 wounded. In one instance
twenty students were killed at the main
station Of the Vicina railway line. Three

THE RABBIT FOOT IN QUESTION.

The Pittsburg Dispatch questions the
authenticity of the story about the New
Jersey man who claims to have a rabbit
foot which Dewey carried with him on
the day of his great triumph at Manila,
and seems inclined to take the whole mat
ter half seriously.
Indeed. the editorial which its editor
has prepared is headed "a Libel on
Dewey" and the public are warned not
to put too much faith in the Jerseyman's
statements The Smoky City man asserts,
and not without reason, that even grant,
ing that the gallant New Englander had
equipped himself with the west rear
quarter Of a graveyard bunny killed in the
forequarter of the moon il is hardly pos
sible that he would have parted with such
a precious charm. But the editor con-
cudes that the whole story is produc-
ton of the bogus ews-gatherer, and pro-
tests against such manufactured reports.
He thinks Dewey's triumph just at this
time is too sacred a subject for frivolous
rumors and that the hero himself should
be spared from journalistic vagaries.
Our Piitsburg contemporary admits that
things wouldn't be so bad If the Admiral
merely carried a buckeye to ward off
rheumatism, but the IDEA that any YER
monter. much less Dewey, should work"
the rGbbit-foot on the public, is more than
its sensitive nature can stand.

COLLECTIONS IN SCHOOLS.

Many newspapers ard school superin-
tendents throughout the country have
waged a crusade against the practice of
making collections among school children,
and in some of the leading cities the most
gratifying results have been accomplish
ed. The recent efforts to raise funds for
the Lafayette monument have reopened
the question in many towns. Those ia
miliar with the class of pupils who attend
the public schools maintain that the evil
has caused great rivalry and heart-aches
among the children whose parents could
not afford to give.
The Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton of the State of New York condemn
ed without qualification the practice, and
the Board of Education OF Kansas City
has issued positive instructions to princi-
pals Of public schools that no more money
shall be collected from the children for
any purpose whatsoever.
The evil Of levying these assessments
upon school children is unquestionably
one which should be eradicated every
where, and there should be no exceptions
to the stringency Of the rule. 1t is a
source of bitter and undeserved humilia-
ton to many worthy children. 1t is a
mistake TO suppose that they lack sensi.
tiveness or the capacity to see when their
Indulgence is exposed.

the thirty-fourth anniversary of the Guild
Of st. Luke the Physician was cele

the state trappings Of several hundred
medical men and women, the latter, how
ever, being but a small part of the
band. IT was estimated that GOO doctors
were present on the invitation Of the
guild. and that they had brought with

The Bishop of London preached the

men were ignorant of its real powers.

conception even of soul and spirit, could

Bishop thought, was changed. At least
he had heard of a great biologist saying
that If there was resurrection il must be
resurrection of the body. IL was i'm
possible to conceive of the body and spirit
existing without one another That
being so, what marvellous prospect was
open to the medical men? He might say
that the marks OF his skill were stamped
on certain human frames, TO be carried
by them into eternity. This might seem
imaginative, but the doctor who took such
a view would feel a higher sense Of re-
sponsibility. Speaking of the medical
missionary college contemplated by the
guild, the Bishop said it would be Of in
calculable benefit to the mission cause.
To go among the heather and teach thera
by practice, more than precept, that the.r
bodies were capable OF being raised to an
unknown height Of glory was an object
worthy OF the deep interest Of the medical
profession, and of all who thanked God
for the high standard OF the profess .on
in this country, and felt. as every family
did that the medical attendant was their

. DEACON LIGHT REkrSDLED.

The address OF Democratic State Chair
man Simmons, OF North Carolina. to the
voters of that State. which we published
yesterday. is one OF the most terrific In
dictments OF a political party we have
ever seen I'm print. The catalogue OF
crimes he charges against those VINO
have brought the Old North State 10 ner
present condition and forced the issue o,
white supremacy Is simply appalling.
And as earnest and as impassioned as Is
the address, Mr.. Simmons has not oeen
betrayed into making single charge
that the record OF proof does not sustain.
TIE situation and the operation OF
the agencies that brought about that sit
uation, as Mr.. Simmons describes them.
leave no cause for wonder that tho
white people OF North Carolina have
risen in their might and determined to
rule hereafter. at all hazards. They
Justify the true people Of the State
In hurting from powT at any cost the
despicable white men and their negro
allies. who. in the last few years, have
been In control and whose ascen1ency
has been marked by a continuous
carnival of extravaganza, fraud. corrup-
ton. and insolence. And in their despc-
rate. but righteous and patriotic struggle,
in their struggle for the preservation Of
their civilization and the protection OF
their affairs and their fires'des. our North
Carolina brethren should receive the
sympathy of every white man in any
other section of the country who is not
a disgrace and a reproach to his race.
But as appalling as is the recital Of
Mr.. Simmons's, 1t is but the reproduction
OF q page from the annals of Re-
construction. He has but rekindled a
beacon light which the South has never
suffered to grow dim, or steered away
from, save at her peril. The history Of
Reconstruction in the black belts of the
several Southern States is but repeating
itself in the eastern tier of North Caro-
lima counties. The orgies OF the Fusion
lists in Eastern North Carolina are but Il
revival to the full of the orgies the
inaugurated in the South nearly
three decades ago. The indictment Mr.
Simmons has drawn against the Fusion
list government of North Carolina would
lie against every southern carpet-bag
governmental regime.
Yes, Mr.. Simmons has rekindled beacon
light. 1t is a beacon light whose warn
ing rays bring out distinctly the only safe
path for the South to tread-the straight
path of Democracy. His address is a
campaign document as we'll for the rest
of the South as for North Carolina. To
take the matter close home, it is a cam
paign document we could wish every
white man in Virginia would read before
election day, seeing that it is prophecy
Of possible conditions in this State, should

THE SILENCE OF BRYAN.
Charge That He is the Victim OF n
Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, November 3.-Secretary
Robert Il. Burke, of the County Demo-
cratic Campaign Committee, has received
the following letter from William j.
Bryan. dated Jacksonville, Fla. where he
is now in camp with his regiment, the
Third Nebraska:
MY Dear Burke: do not think that IT
would be proper for me to take part in
politics while in the army. 1t is hard to
keep STILL but | think it is best TO do so.
wishing the ticket success, / am. yours.
BRYAN"
Everybody knows why William Jen-
nings Bryan's voice viii not be heard in
support of Democracy this fall" said Mr..
Burke. THE people understand why he
is silent. The conspiracy by which the
greatest advocate of the principles of our
party has been silenced is understood by
all who have paid any attention 10 what
has been transpiring i'm politics. His
silence will be eloquent, and will not fail
10 have it's effect"
