Bryan's Cold Comfort.
Mr.. Bryan In 1896 carried twenty-five
States. lpcluding all the old Southern
States, except Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia, and the States of Colorado, Ida
no, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Ne
vada, South Dakota, Utah, Washing
ton and Wyoming. In the last elections
held In the several States Kansas,
South Dakota, Washington and Wyom-
ing have given Republican majorities,
while Maryland has joined the Demo
cratic column. On the record Of cleo
tons held In 1890 and 1903 the Repub-
licans have control Of twenty-six
States, with 2S5 electoral votes, and
the Democrats nineteen States, with
1872 electoral votes. and yet Mr.. Bryan
and his associates pretend to be well
satisfied with the result Of the elections
Of Nov. z.
An attempt has been made to torture
the figures In Ohio, which gave the Re-
publican candidate for Governor a plu-
rality of $4,000, into an Endorsement of
Organism. 1t is contended by some Of
Mr.. Bryan's supporters that the vote
for Mclean in Ohio did not represent
the full Democratic strength, but that
IL the vote Of Jones be added to that
of Mclean 1t will be shown that Ohio
is Democratic. And yet the Democrat
ic newspapers told us the day after the
election that Jones received on per-
sonal and local issue more Republican
votes than he did Democratic. This
was certainly true in Cleveland. Ii
there is SO little comfort for the Demo
Gratis in Ohio figures there Is less COM
fort in Iowa, Massachusetts,, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
In 1896 South Dakota gave Bryan q
plurality of 1873: in 1898 the State gave
the fusion candidate for Governor a
plurality of $40. In 1899 the Republi-
can majorities for candidates for
judges of the Supreme Court ranged
from 5000 to 10000. In 1896 Kansas
gave Bryan plurality Of 1850; in
1898 the Republican plurality was 49,
SO. In 1896 Washington gave Bryan
plurality of 12,493; in 1898 it gave
Republican majority Of 1914. Wyom-
ing gave Bryan in 1896 plurality Of
593; in 1893 it gave Republican ma
jority of 1894. By the vote Of Nov. Z,
1899, Ohio, iowa, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are as strongly Republican as they
were In 1896. On the record Of the cleo
ton returns for 1898 and 1899 Mr..
Bryan would have 1872 electoral votes
and the Republican candidate for
President 2S5, a majority for the Re
publicans Of 123 votes in the electoral
college.

frue elgnincancs Of TIE Results Of ne
November E1ections. ~
Among right thinking and fair mind
ed people there Is and can be but one
conclusion formed ms to the true signin-
canoe Of the elections OF November.
1S99-namely, that the country Is In cor
dial accord with the national admins
tration In matters OF national policy.
This conclusion Is well expressed by the
New York Evening Post, as follows:
Although no Federal officials were
chosen yesterday, except In four Con-
gresslonal districts to I'LL vacancies In
the House of Representatives, nation
al aspect was given to the campaign
in so many States that the result must
be accepted as verdict Of the country
on the Mckinley administration, and
especially on its policy of expansion.
The judgment of the people was so
clearly expressed that no room Is left
for doubt as to the attitude Of the ma
tion."
This, coming from newspaper noted
for its hostility to Republican doctrines
and measures, and especially noted for
its bitter antagonlsm toward the policy
Of President Mckinley in reference to
the requirement of new territory for
the expansion Of American trade and In
iuence, is an unlocked for recognition
Of the plain meaning of the verdict just
rendered by the American people. 1t
is recognition of the fact that the
voters of this country have condemned
Organism and Endorsed McKinleyism.
There can be no doubt Of II.
The fact that so conclusive a verdict
has been rendered in an ''off year."
when the successful party was deprived
of the advantage Of contesting the issue
on national lines, Is at once compli-
ment of which President Mckinley may
well and doubtless does feel proud, and
an assurance that the hearts and minds
of the people are In thorough sympathy
with an administration that has proven
itself to be an American administration
in the broadcast, deepest, grandest sense
Of the word.

"That's Mex.v

The Iowa volunteers have brought
back from the Philippines a slang ex-
preston with moral. During their
experiences about Manila the boys
came in contact with a good many Mex
lean silver dollars. They looked just as
good as the honest money dollar of the
United States mintage, but they were
not, ard the soldiers quickly learned to
watch for them and accept them only at
the regular discount rate. Any attempt
on the part of the foxy Filipinos to work
off dollar that was not backed by the
gold standard in the place of dollar
that had the backing was met with a
contemptuous rejection OF the cheap
dollar and the comment: That's Mex"
The scope of the expression broadened
and now when the returned volunteers
see anything that Is masquerading for
what 1t isn't they size it up with the
same contemptuous expression: That's
Mex" The moral Is plain. Neither the
returned veterans nor their fellow citi-
zents want to take any chances on hav-
ing the dollars of their own country
tossed back to them in any part Of the
world where they may be with SINH
lar slang phrase.-Sloux City Journal.

A Kansas Reminisccnce.

n huusds Rem1nlsCcuCes
During the recent campaign the editor
Of Kansas paper found Bryan ban
ner which had been carried in many
professions during the year 1896, which
bore the following Inscriptions:
A vote for Mckinley means more
tramps.
McKinley's election means
Ten-cent corn.
Twenty-five-cent wheat.
Eight-cent oats.
One dollar per ton for hay.
Five cents per pound for butter.
Three cents dozen for eggs.
Two-cent hogs.
One and one-half cent for fat cattle.
No money to carry on business.
Corn to-day is worth 20 cents In Kan
sas and from % to 80 cents, in Indiana.
There has not been much change In the
price of wheat, but the price is far
above % cents. Oats are worth "a to &c
to S11.50 here and must be worth So or
So in Kansas. Choice butter, wholesale,
is quoted at IA cents, but those who get
good article at retail pay from II to
% cents. Eggs are II cents. hogs $4.04
TO $4071a a hundred. and prime steers
1918 to $3.50 a hundred. AS for mon

been so low; it can be obtained on Sc

No More Use for Populism.


Edgerton, s. d., Sept. 30, 1S99.-To
the Editor: l have noticed of late sew
eral statements in the Journal relating
to the deposit per capita of residents in
different parts Of the country. l do
not consider any of them, taking into
account our handicap Of no railroad
towns, as good as Charles Mix Coun-
tvs. There are four banks In the old
part of the county now having deposits
of over $40 per capita. There are no
manufacturers, large ranchers' stock
or grain buyers deposits, and half OF
the merchants keep their accounts at
their railroad shipping points. or use

posits belong to the farmers. and the
balance to a part of the merchants.

but it will never happen again as long
as the present conditions of the country
will last L. +. ANDREWS.
When prosperity comes In at the door

Have Used American. Goods.
There Is bitter complaint among the
manufacturers of wooden goods in Eng
land that Americans have practically
ceased to buy Of them. Under the Will
son low duty tariff we purchased WOOL
en- manufactures in one year to the val
ne of $40, 162, 992. With the freight and
other charges added these goods cost
the American consumers $6O,OOO,OOO.
and the profit went into the pockets Of
the foreign manufacturers. Under the
present tariff law we purchased but
$13,S31 ,967. Is 1t strange that the for
eign manufacturers should grumble at
the loss Of this trade?
We have used all the wooden goods
we needed, we have found no fault with
the quality, and the prices have not
been unreasonable. The difference Is
that we have used American goods,
made In American factories by Ameri-
can workingmen and women and have
kept our money in the American camily
instead Of paying to foreigners.-San-
dusky Ohio Register.

of so cents per ton. This Is the highest
price paid for pudding since $780,"

les of the protective system that 1t al

Club Notes.

The last two weeks have been full o
interest and profit to Kinsley clut
women. The mothers meeting foI
September was held at the home ol
Mrs. B. F. Tatum. In spite of the
storm the majority of members were
present and readings were given from
Andrea Hofer's book, ga Mother g
Ideals." AS usual, there was much
difference of opinion in the discus
siOns, but all agreed to the beatty of
the ideals and the benefits of working
as near as possible to them.
Last Saturday evening Professor
Cora M. Mcdonald arrived in the city
for short visit with the family OF
Mr.. E. A. Noble and very kindly
offered to give a resume of her work
at the Chicago university during the
summer. On Monday evening the
club had the pleasure of welcoming a
number of visitors at their rooms to
listen to Miss Mcdonald, who led us
in spirit through many wide and pleas
ant fields of literature. Through her
kindness we had the JOY of coming in
touch with the new lines of though
and new methods of study, of knowing
how broad is the appreciation of the
teaching in literature upon human re-
lationship. Kinsley rarely has such
an Intellectual treat; the inspiration
of it is nearly sufficient to carry
one through months of endeavOr and
the Woman's Club is very grateful to
Miss Mcdonald for the favor.
On Wednesday of this week the first
meeting after the summer vacation was
held at the club rooms and was largely
devoted to business. Mrs. P. s. Car
ter sent an affectionate message to the
club, saying she regretted that the
state of her health would not allow
her the pleasure of attending, and
also sent an interesting article on
'The American Young Lady," which
was listened to with pleasure. The
outlines were given out for the work,

Senator Hanna naturally expresses
scepticism about the effect of trusts
being baleful. In his interview in the
New York Tribune Senator Hanna
said: Cochran asked Bryan TO show
him evidence that Industrial combiua-
tions were evil in their tendency. That
is a proper demand. Show us the ev-
idence?" 1t is quite natural that Sen
ator Hanna should fail to see any evil
tendency in the general control of in
dustry and labor by trusts, and it is
probable that he would not have ex-
pressed such views at this time unles
they were also held by President Me-

can platform adopted by the conven-
ton which Senator Hanna managed

ly to delude the voters.--Optic.
