TEE PROPHET OF DISASTER.

We cannot very much blame Mr.. Bryan
for keeping before the people the depres'
sion of the cotton industry and seeking to
make IL appear that the condition OF this
industry is "a fair ssindex Of the condi-
ton of industrysin general In the coun-
try. Mr.. Bryan is seeking the Presiden-
CIV, and he bases his hope of success
chiefly on the fact that he is the most
conspicuous exponent OF certain doc
trine which is supposed to possess won
derful power to recuperate depressed and
lapguishing business and industries. OF
course there will be no demand for him
or his doctrine unless there is something
that needs recuperation. Only those that
are sick are likely to take medicine.
Hence, naturally enough. Mr.. Bryan
looks upon thu depression OF industry
with certain amount OF satisfaction,
and, 1t is probably only the truth to say
tbat.he would like to sea it spread. In
deed he is doing all he can to make 1t
spread by exaggerating that which ex-
lists and continually croakiug that there
can be no prosperity until silver Is admit
ted to our minis on an equality with
gold.
The country, however, is going to dis
appoint Mr.. Bryaa. 1t Is not going TO
relapse into the wrstched condition it was
in when he was beseeching it to accept free
silver and be saved. Since he was de-
feated atsthe polls, and largely because of
his defeat, the countryshas made rapid
strides towards its old time prosperity.
There is. it is true, dark spot in New
ENGLAND, caused partly by exceptional
conditions affecting one industry, and
partly blythe excessive cupidity OF certain
corporations. but this dark spot does not
fairly represent the condition of general
industry the country over. In the great
majority of industries there has been
substantial revival. The wooden mills
are dlled with orders, and have in many
instances voluntarily advanced wages.
Hundreds of industrial establishments
whose doors were closed when Bryan was
on the stump procleirning the virtues OF
free silver are now open, giving remun'
erative employment to thousands OF work
ing men. The West is peryaded with an
air Of activity and confidence that it has
not experienced for many years. Mr..
Bryan's own State and the neighboring
State of Kansas have not been so prosper.
GUS for decade az they are today. We're
it mot for the depression in the cotton
industry Mr. Bryan would have to for
sake the rostrum for the want of mate
rial. When that cloud rolls by. as we be-
lieve it will in the not very distant fu
ture, Mr.. Bryan will be forced either Il
| find some new issue or to abandon al
hope of becoming the next Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. No party
will set up for its candidate, amidst gen
eral prosperity. a gloomy prophet OF dis
aster. He will thrive just so long as there
| is industrial and business depression fol
him to feed upon. When that is gone he
| will 90 too.

INsULATEs HIS BED.
How Baltimore Man Gets the Better o
His rheumatism.
(From the Baltimore Sun. }

A novel theory about the prevention OF
rheumatism and neuralgia has been prac'
ticed with success by Charles B. Hanna,
Auditor of the Custom House. Mr..
Hanna has long been interested in writ
ings ON medical subjects, and through
his brother. in law, who is well known
physician in another state, he has been
enabled to keep pace with the advance OF
medical science as recorded IN technical
journals.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Hanna was
struck by suggestion Of DIR. Brown
Seouard of Paris, that rheumatism,
neuralgia, and kindred complaints were
caused by lack of electricity in the body.
The. physician argued that during sleep,
when vitality Is relaxed, electricity ordl-
narily in the body flows of through sur
roundiIsg objects to the earth. When the
sleeper wakes with twinges of pain in his
taiotpss and nerves he suffers until the
natural supply of electricity is regalned
| from the sir.
The remedy suggested for this was to
| insulate the legs of the led and thus re-
| tain in the sleeper's BODY ell tue eiecGrlc-
| ity he had accum ulated during the day.
To read was to act with MIR. Hanna,
who had long been a sufferer from rheu-
matiszn and also from sleeplessness, as
| the slightest sound aroused him. lie Sc
cured four cups. such as are used on bhe
desks OF money counters to hold sponges

placed under each leg Of his bed, and that
hight Mr.. Hanna slept soundly. Not
only that, but he arose the next morning
without a vestige OF pain in his body.
Never since has he been without the foul
little insuiators, always taking them
along when he has occasion to use
strange bed, first placing the bed cut from
| thu wall, SO that it is not IN CONTACT Will
anything.
Many Of Mr.. Hanna's friends have triet
his PRESCRIPTION With gratifying results
and the relief Of painful symptoms from
wf,icf, they previously suffered.
A young man, athletic and full OF life
who was visiting the family Mt one time
was put into one of the insulated beds

IF the Secretary of the Navy found
good and ample reason in 1898 for recon-
mending twelve 1ine-of-battle ships, a
recommendation Congress tacitly adopted,
it is not too much to say that in 1898 we
should have at least eighteen line.of bat
tie ships and frigates or cruisers and other
classes of ships in proportion So writes
Rear Admiral Luce of the United Estates
Navy and the interest with which he
watches the naval operations of the world
makes his opinions worthy of The ggreat-
est consideration. Instead of having
eighteen as matter-of fact we have today
but about nine line-of-battle ships and

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

DR.. Butler of Colby, is conducting a
very successful canvass for funds for the
proposed addition to the college. This
canvass is filled with surprises for the
doctor. Saturday, he received a check
from the students at Hebron Academy,
one of Colby's preparatory schools. The
check was a substantial one and was an
other of the surprises, for the students at
Hebron, the most of them at any rate
are not sons of wealth, but for the most
part gre working their way to Colby
from which institution they hopefto grad
uate. Tuesday morning President Butler
.receired cheek for another amount from
J. S. hlaxcy of Gardiner, which he was
not looking for and had no particular
reason to hope fer. At meeting of the
grocery clerks, held at the residence OF
DR.. Butler of College avenue, Monday
evening, pledges for the {, Colby building s9da
oo,pInittee Of four sfrom the clerkss was
raised for the purpose of looking after the
matter.
