Where Is BRYAN to Gain?

Where does Colonel Bryan figure up
on receiving increased support? In the
elections that have taken place in his
former strongholds since 1896 the ele-
ments that he represented have lost in
voting strength. Last yea the fusion
lists plurality in Nebraska for governor
was less than 5000, and the Republicans
elected the legislature and gained a
United States senator. Washington,
which gave Bryan a plurality of $4,000,
returned a Republican majority last
year of 5000, and will scarcely yearn
for it's free silver flame, since he has
shown the cloven foot in reference to
national affairs involved in the Philip
pine question. Kansas came into the
Republican column again last year with
a majority for it's first and true love OF
Is, 900. Anybody who talks anti-expan-
sion at the present stage, as Bryan does
| Kansas and Washington alone will de-
| prive the ex-colonel of fourteen of the
| electoral votes he received in 1896, &C
| cording to the present outlook. Had {
| change of 1,400 more votes taken place
in Nebraska and South Dakota las
year each would have passed from un
der the rod of the Nebraska mentor
| Colorado does not cut much of a figure
but unless the present labor troubles In
crease the state may not give Bryan
plurality. Kentucky is debatabl
ground, but the fractional row in tn
Democratic ranks is likely to democrat
ize the voters so that the state will no
give the Nebraskan so large a vote a
he received in the last contest. Brya1
optimists can imagine that he will re
ceive the votes of all who do not indoors
the policy of the administration, but |
they can see any increased interest II
the silver issue upon which he build
his hopes, they must have eyes with pc
culiar power.

Political PuqiIism in Prospect.

There are enough Democratic rows
programmed to furnish Republicans
amusement through the political season.
In New York preparations for a fight
to a finish are going on. In Chicago
Aguinaldo Altgeld is digging bitches for
the Harrison hordes. In Kentucky kill
kenny kickers are putting hobnails into
| their heels in order to give Goebel his
| deserts. In Ohio the Mclean faction is
| whetting daggers for followers of the
| oldest Roman of them all. In Missouri
| Stone is standing ready to throw hi
| friend Bryan into the deep, deep sea o
oblivion if the Nebraskan can be tossed
overheard and the Missourian take hi
place at the helm. Some of these i'm
pending conflicts will result in politica
tragedies, but until the end it will no
be out of place to indulge in applause
and innocent merriment while tn
heather rage.

Christian Science Fad.

The Christian Science fad, that is re-
sponsible for the death of many people
who have relied on weak-minded heal
ers" to cure them Of illness, does not
appear to have taken root, to any
marked extent, in New Mexico towns.
Life in the pure atmosphere of this
region is not only healthful to the body,
but is also %elevating to the mind. Wom-
en-, who form the great bulk of Chris
tian Science faddists, in the eastern
cities live so much indoors, owing to
bad weather and crowded conditions of
things, that they become depressed and
the mind gets into a receptive state
where such a fad finds lodgment. A
change Of surroundings, removal to a
bracing, healthful climate like that of
| New Mexico, would tone up these fad
| dists mentally and make them forget
their morbid beliefs.
Christian Science humbug never
seizes upon a man or woman in abso-
lutely sound condition. When the men,
| tai status is below normal, one may
read the Christian Science "bible," Mrs
| Eddy's Science and Health" with
growing conviction that the author is a
public benefactor, but my man or wom-
an with sound sense and the power OF
reasoning must be Disguised with hel
claims in the first chapter, and nause-
ated by the time half the book is Rad
She seizes upon the theory of the tri'
umph of mind over matter, ana claims
it as her own discovery, although 1t was
taught by anti-C Christian philosophers
and Illuminated and simplified for mod
ems in the essays of Ralph Waldo En-
erson.
Mental science, the triumph of viii
over VICE." has believers in all churches
and among all men. They believe in ex'
ercising hope, ~cheerfulness, kindness
and trust in the Supreme Being for thu
happiness which Is merited or craved.
But Christian Scientists have evolved
a plan to establish a class of "healers'
whose object is mercenary. They arr
usually half educated pretenders, WHIT
do no one good and cause loss of lift
by the trust they inspire in people whit

There are plenty of good people whit
