Out West Mr.. Mckinley talked ex-
pansion as the glorious results of the
war. Down South he wanted to know
who would haul down the flag; up
North he changed his tune and lett the
impression we would not expand. All
of which makes it necessary for the
President to ask himself the question,
'sWhere am | at ?"

rebuke to the head of the war depart

disrespectfully.

There appears to be some difference
of opinion among many people con-
corning the cold spell of weather and
snow of 1857 and that through which
we have just passed. Quite a number
of people claim that the weather of
the past ten days has been the most
severe of any on record. but just as
soon as such claim is made public some
old inhabitant rushes into print and
tells us that this is not a circumstance
to 1857. Now, who is right?

SOME ELECTION FIGURES.

The vote of 1856 in the Common.
wealth of Virginia has been more wide
ly commented upon than that of any
election preceding it in our recollec-
ton. A number Of gold Democrats
have held the figures up in an attempt
to show what the Democratic party
lost by not taking the gold Democrats
into its confidence. To get at the
facts we think the public will pardon
us for resorting to a few figures. In
1896 the vote of Virginia was: Bryan,
l54, 9S5; Mckinley, 135,98S; Palmer,
2,127, and Levering, 341. Bryan's
majority was 10, 597 over Mckinley. If
we add to the regular Democratic vote
the 2, III votes thrown away on Palmer
and Buckner, it would increase the
Democratic ma jority but very little.
In 1884 Cleveland's majority over
Blaine was 1000 less than Bryan's. In
1888 with Cleveland again candidate
his majority was less than 1000. So
from these figures there is nothing to
give comfort to the gold Democrats.
In 1892 with the same Cleveland as a
candidate again his vote was, it is
true, a very satisfactory one, but it
could hardly have been otherwise, be-
cause the best element in the Republi-
can party had repudiated Harrison, and
under such circumstances Cleveland Is
vote should have been still greater. No
coercion was used to defeat him as
was the case with Bryan, and another
factor was that the free silver element
in the party declined to 60 to indian
apolis or any other town and set on foot
a new party, because they had failed
to carry their point in the National
convention of 1892. For consolation
our friends need something better than
the figures displayed in the 1856 elec
ton. Bryan will again be the Demo
cratic candidate in 1900 and all Demo-
Gratis should get in line unless they
prefer to vote for Mckinley, Hanna
and Alger, the well known embalmers

college students have been gathered by

600 students, out of total Of $1,000 in
all the higher educational institutions
of the country. In Its analysis of the
figures the Agricultural reduces the
number Of students considered to lit
tie under $1,000, for some unexplained
reason excluding, 1t says, a few city
colleges, like Harvard, Pratt Institute,
University Of Rochester, Fisk Univer-
sity and others. Out of this total of
about $1,000 1t finds that nearly 21,O0O
are from the agricultural classes, or a
percentage of 4O.2 from the farm. This
percentage varies largely in different
sections Of the country. 1t Is 500 in
the South, 458 In the far West, 40.1 in
the central West, 20.4 in the Middle
States and 29.1 in New England. I'm
