Thinks All Glasses VIII Flock to the
Democratic Ranks Next Year.
Galveston, Tex, Dec. 3 -Hon. VIM.
j. Bryan, who is here with ex.Gov.
Hogg, on an outing, spoke today at some
length of next years campaign. Mr..
BRYAN states that the Democrats will
make great gains next year among large
classes of people.
"1 hese people comprise the wage
earners." said he, "those who have been
directly affected by the consolidation of
the great manufacturing concerns of the
country, commonly called trusts. In
this class is enumerated day laborers,
Office men, drummers, etc. These are
the people who will vote with the Dem
ocrats next year.
with continuation of such an in
crease on our side for the next II
months, it will rot be a question Of
whether or not the Democrats can win.
but how large the majority will be. |
have no fear for the outcome. The re-
cent elections to an unbiased mind.
plainly indicate that the Democrats had
the better of it in nearly all the states in
which elections were held. In Ohio.
Mr.. McKinley's home state, is the Dem
ocratic gain more clearly shown than
anywhere else, except in Maryland and
Nebraska. The vote given Jones was
anti Republican and had he not been in
the race it most assuredly would have
gone to Mclean. Next year with the
present ratio of Increase Ohio will go
Democratic by safe majority.
"The Republicans would like to cover
me with the glory of personally winning
the fight In Nebraska. They would, if
possible, lead the people to believe that
there were no issues in this election and
that | was so personally magnetic as TO
lead the people to the polls with moth
ing more than myself as an incentive.
The truth Of The matter is, the people of
Nebraska have been weakened. They
realize that it is time that a change was
being made In the administration of the
affairs Of the government and they pro-
pose to throw off the yoke Of a single
money standard, a militarism, and to
check the avarce ann greed that has
almost become the objective of that
party. And not only in Nebraska is this
the case, but find from both personal
nvestIgation and from those who are in
position to know that the people in
many sections of other states heretofore
strongly Republican have made up their
mind to ipin the free silver forces next

Fnund Liuuor in "Blina" Cellar.


Officer II. J. Slayton of Barre armed
with warrants issued by H. W. Scott,
raided the house on Short street and the
store on North Main street. occupied by
Frank Cobb, and brought away the
largest single seizure of liquor ever made
in Barre. At the store they found 40
pints and four quarts of whiskey. In a
blind cellar at the house they secured
five five gallon kegs, 2l9 pints, and 16
quarts of whiskey, one key of wine and
80 bottles of a mixture. The house has
been raided several times lately and
nothing found. At first the result was
the same Saturday, but Mr.. Sayton
thought there was something wrong
with the cellar. On one side was a sort
of rough cupboard, the shelves being
| filled with old bottles. cans, etc. The
shelves were found to be loose, and
were taken out. Taking an iron bar and
prying az tinst the wall over the bottom

out of their senses would
not convey any idea Of their

around in email circle, with

oscillatine to and fro like the hands of

the inspection of the post was made by
the department command er, W o spoke
of his trip to Ell Paso as pleas
ant duty. He said when
elected department commander
of the department. of Texas he
had determined to visit every post in
the state that could be visited without
had completed the list except the
Brownsville post, which was 30 far
away from the railway that he could
not hope to reach 1t.
The speaker said that the roster of
the G. A. r. had included some OF the
grandest names in history and that the
name of every old soldier should be up
on its rolls. In Texas there we're sev-
en- thousand old soldiers, ct the G.. A.
r. membership footed up only about a
thousand One reason for this was the
fact that the old vets were
scattered here and there, not
enough of them in q place
to make up post. Looking
to remedy this state of affairs, the
32od national encampment had provid-
ed picket posts where few old
post what each post is to the depart
ment. He wished to urge upon each
post and each Individual member the
advisability of encouraging picket
posts wherever possible.
The principles of the Grand Army of
the Republic. said the speaker, are
first loyalty. second charity, aud then
fraternity. 1t dispenses more charity
than any other organization that has
every community in taking care of
those who might become a public
charge. With its great auxiliary, the
Women's Relief Corps, it not only dis
penses charity to old soldiers, their
widows and orphans, but often to other
worthy poor.
The department commander said
that in his visits to the different posts
he did not only look after the intere SITS
Relief Corps as we'll. He hoped to see
the Relief Corps here re-
organized and put upon a
good working basis. He had
promised the department president,
Mrs. Ada G. Work, to help in every
way possible to-extend the scope of the
organization in the department and he
had fulfilled that promise to the letter.
Mrs. w. F. Hempel and Mrs. H. G,
Borcherding, members of the old re-
lief corps, were in the hall and express
the revision of the local order.
.'Emmet Crawford Post needs
no Inspection" said the
visitor; ''the personnel of its

see several members of this post at
the next meeting of the department at
Denison, April 20. 81, and %. also one
or more representatives of the post at
Philadelphia next September at the

enthusiasm with which the twenty
eight Texas members of the G. A. r.
were received at the last national en-
campment. with their Texas horns

could have any influence over them,

PRICE oE MICA.
A Natfs Product. But This Country Is
Unable to Supply the Demand.

A Natr~ Product, But This Country Is
Unable to supply the Demand.
''There are between $50, 200 and
100000 pounds of mica used in the
United States annually, said whole
sale dealer in that mineral in New
York to writer for the Washington
Star recently. 'North Carolina, New
Hampshire and other States once
supplied all the mica used in this
country, but so extensively has the
material been utilized in the last ten
years in various arts and mechanical
trades that many of our most produc-
tive mines have been pretty nearly
exhausted. The consequence is that
about fifty-fve per cent. of the ma
terial is now imported from Norway,
Sweden and Russia, and the expense
incident to shipping it to this coun-
try has raised the price of the article
twenty per cent. The wholesale price
of mica at present varies from S1.20
to $25 a pound, according to the size
and quality of the sheet, and a still
larger advance may be expected if
new American mines are not soon dis
covered.
'"The material is largely used in the
arts for spectacles and optical instru-
ments, especially for holding small
objects for examination through a
microscope. 1t is also used, when
finely ground, for making bronze
powder. Sheet mica is used, as is
well known, instead of glass, in
places exposed to heat, such as re-
Electors, headlights and stove and
lantern lights. On naval ships it has
taken the place of glass in portfolios.
where it is not easily fractured by the
discharge of heavy guns.
"The working of mica mine is
comparatively easy and inexpensive
process. Sheets of the silicate stand
in upright lodges, and, when uncov-
cred, are easily separated from the
adjacent rock. Then with hammers
the splitting up of the strata is accom-
plished without much trouble. Blocks
yielding sheets two and two and
half feet square have often been quar-
ried in New Hampshire. Scrap
mica is gathered in the mines in great
quantities, much of it being the de-
bris left where the sheet mica has
been broken by the picks in cutting
it out. 1t is ground up for use in
varnish and paints and makes a gilt
tering coating for wallpaper. 1t is
worth from S5 to $25 ton."
