THE persiftency with which W. j
BRYAN and certain other Democratic
leaders cling to Is to 1 is significant.
There has been an unmistakable effort
on the part of many Democrats in all
sections, but especially in the West, to
make anti trust the issue of the next
campaign. There is unquestionably a
strong enough opposition to trusts to
make that issue a potent one. Trusts
have blossomed and fourished under
the protective tariff of the Republican
administration. What, then, at first
sight, could appear more natural or
advisable than that the Democratic
party, the opponent of the present ad-
ministration, during which trusts have
SO protusely thriven, and enemy to the
death of protective system, should
take up the cudgel and make anti
trust the biggest plank in it's 1850
platform? But with all its apparent
attractiveness, the proposed issue is
treated very coolIy by Mr.. Bryan. who
still shouts for Is to l. W. J. Bryan
will no doubt lead the Democratic
forces in 1900. He is the apostle of l6
to l, and probably DESTROYS of winning
the election, in almost any way, IN
order that he may have opportunity OF
promoting legislation favorable to his
particular financial system. Why not,
then, subordinate free silver and allow
the eminently popular and seemingly
dillingham; trust cry to do the work OF
enlisting public sympathy and carrying
the country for the Democratic nom
inee? Herein the conduct of the free
silver champion is significant. The
antitrust idea, while bright with
promise to the average citizen, does
not so appeal to Mr.. Bryan. If anti
trust would prove a winner for the
Democratic party, W. j, Bryan would
be after it. But to man of his clear
sightedness it is painfully evident that
che grounds occupied by the Demo
Gratis relative to trusts is rather in
secure. In fact the record of the party
in the matter of trusts is not such as tt
convince Mr.. Bryan that it could max,
very successful champion of anti
trust. When the whole truth i
known = and Bryan evidently knows i
the anti trust plank would fit con
siderably better into Republican
platform than into a Democratic. It'll
as much because OF this as on accoun
of his devotion to free silver, that w j
Bryan still stands for the issue of '96.

THE COUNTESS SPEAKS.
Entsrtains a Large Audience at the LH2gt,

The Countess Adelaide Schimzael-
mann made her first visit to this city
on Sunday afternoon, and addressed a
large audience att tbs Danish Lutheran
church. In the audience were mem
bers of all the leading churches in the
city. The countess spoke in the Sean
danavian language, and while her ad-
dress was not able to be understood by
many people in the audiences her
manner showed that she was greatly
in earnest in regard to the greats work
which she is doing among the people
of the cities along the lake.
After short sermon the countess
spoke of h8F work and her intentions
and showed that it was her plan to do
the greatest good possible to suffering
humanity wherever she should find it.
She said that her work bad been
crowned with success, and wherever
she had gone she was pnSud to say
that she had been able to help some
one to better and nobler plane of life.
After the service the countess held
an informal reception at the home OF

Farmer TrusS&ell is Looking. for a Ped
dler vino Took His Horss
The local police have been qnested
to looG ont for Jewish pedGler who
unlawfully took from Farmer Truesdell
horse late yesterday afternoon.
Truesdell lives near Central park, this
side OF Kenoshs. The peddleF stopped
at his house, and it seems that there
was some talk of trading horses. The
farmer wanted S. to boot, and the
peddler agreed on the terms providing
that the " boot" was taken out in
goods.
a dispute arose after the bargain had
all but been closed, and Truesdell
kicked the peddler off his farm. Then
TEuesdell went away to get some ice,
and during his absence the Jew re-
tanned and harnessed up the farmers
horse, turning his loose in; the lot. He
then drove away, and is supposed to
have come towards Racine. When
Truesdell returned and found what had
happened he came to this city and in
formed the police. No trace of the Jew
can be found. Racine News.

CAB MEN IN A FIGHT.
Frank Nelson and Eddie Griffin Get Mixed
in a Hot scufHs Saturday.

y In a dOG SCuuIS SdGuTuays
From all reports one of the warmest
personal encounters which ever oc-
Cured in this city occurred last Satur-
day evening between Aid. Nelson and
Eddie Griffin near the Northwestern
railway station. Both of the men are
proprietors of hack lines and there has
always been a strong rivalry between
them. On Saturday evening it seems
that number of people had started to
get into Nell on's carriage, when his
competitor made strong fight to get
the business of the travellers and even
went so far as to go to the door of the
carriage. This caused the trouble.
No che seems to know how it started,
but in very short time the men had
waded in in true John L. Sullivan
style and were fighting with as much
vim as two pugilists. Their friends
attempted to separate them, but their
efforts were without avail. When the
fight finally ended it would have been
hard to say which had the best of it.
Both carried away souvenirs in the way
of bad bruises and it is probable that
their eyes are a little swollen today.
No arrests have been made. Among
the people who saw the fight it seems
that Nelson was the faVorite and the
people claim that the fight resulted
from the fault of Griffin.

ONCE, years ago, when Ksnoeha was
called Southport, there was strong
sDivalry between it and Chicago for
commercial supremacy and general
and Significance. Since
the change Of name, however, Kenosha
seems to have been more or less hoo
do0d and has consequently allowed its
old rival to acquire slight lead in the
race. But of late it has been picking
up so rapidly in all that pertains to
metropolitanism that Chicago will
have to get up and duss if it wants to
hold it's advantage. Within an amaz-
ingly short time we have acquired a
board of inquiry for tAe purpose of in
vestigating the moral fiber of our
board of Aldermen; and man with a
pistol looking for the Mayor. AS far
as we know, we are the only city, be-
sides Chicago in the great west, which
can lay just claim to these distinctions.
Besides this, we have had few Elec-
trio Railway troubles and are looking
for more.
