Some people are making a great fuss
because the prices of commodities are
up. Was it not in 1896 that low prices
were great evil, and was it not Mr..
william J. Bryan who promise to
raise them if the people would only put
him him and his friends in power? Are we
to understand that this brilliant states
man E 's5l is also '.s neeromancer, who
make things high and low at the same
time? "A dollar'buys too much said

enough, ,"She declares in 1900. What is

THE FARMER PROFITS.

The "Full Dinner Pail'',is an argu
ment for the farmers as we'll as for the
city laborers. Who supplies what is
put in the pail? The farmer If the
city laborer has his wages cut in two
by free silver, and is put out of jot
by the closing of the mills, the farmer
suffers equally; for the farmer may
give away, but he cannot sell, the
products of his farm which the city
laborer cannot afford to buy. It is be.
cause of the "full dinner pail" that the
farmer is getting so much better prices
for what he sells than he could get
before the election of Mckinley. It is
because OF the ''full dinner pail'' that
he has paid off his mortgages, and be.
come lender of money where he used
to be a borrower.-Sauk Centre Herald.

The Buffalo Gazette (Dem.) thinks
that too much stress is laid on the
question of electing representatives
who will vote for certain candidates
for the United States senate. That
is what most Democrats think, but the
Republicans are onto the scheme and
will see to it that Mr.. Towne will have
no opportunity to slide into the ma
tional congress by the rear door,

A GOOD PROPOs1T1ON,L. ( ),

IL is expected a bill will be presented
10 the next legislature providing that
any county may adopt county judge
system, which will correspond to the
municipal courts .:of cities and have
larger Jurisdiction than justice courts.
The Princeton union., 1900-08-30

The latter are considerably limited
and in most cases the men elected JUS
tices have no knowledge of the law.
With the county judge plan an able
lawyer would be chosen and there
would be fewer cases appealed to the
district court than now. The authority
to issue warrants and other papers
could be delegated to town and village
clerks and all civil cases could be
brought to the county seat, or the
Judge could go on the circuit plan,
visiting the villages once each month.

80 "A PERSONAL AFFAIR. 2&s1
Can any one, Republican or Demo
crat, in the Seventh judicial district,
advance one single substantial reason
why Judge Searle should not receive
the unanimous vote of the district? 1t
has been a pleasure for the Republic
cans to vote for Judge Baxter, for they
believe in him, and in the principle of
keeping the judiciary aloof from pol
itics-and Judge Searle is in every way
his peer upon the bench. And the
Herald would pleasantly suggest, that
if the Democrats force the election of
judges along lines purely political it is
they and not the Republicans who will
lose by it. This is a Republican dis
trict. But the Herald knows that the
call for the convention at Little Falls
is not Democratic, but a personal

Washington, Sept. est is a posi-
biiity that the problem in connection
with the purchase of armor plate for
the big battleships and cruisers now
building may be solved without read
vertising for bids. Under the current
law the Secretary of the Navy can con-
tract for armor at any price he deems
reasonable
The Secretary to-day had a confer
ence on the subject with the represent
tatives of the Carnegie and Bethlehem
Companies. at which Senator Penrose.
OF Pennsylvania, and Admiral O'Neill.
chief OF the Bureau of Ordnance, were
present. Later he will meet the repre-
sentatives of the Midvale Company.
Whether the prospect of an adjust
ment of the differences between the de-
partment and the armor plate COM
paneS rests upon the probability of
scaling down of last summers bids is
not known. but there is possibility
that bids will not be called for again

William L. Strong was born in Ohio in 1927, and came to New York when young man. He found employment with different firms un- til January 1, 1870, when he organ ized the firm of William l.. Strong & Go. The firm grew to be one of the prominent business houses in the city. He also interested him. self in banking matters and was president of the Central National Bank.
 MT. Strong took an active paet in politics and was one of the leaders of the reform movement in this city, and was elected Mayor on the Re. publican Citizens Union ticket in 1894 He was the last Mayor of the old City of New York before con- solidation with Brooklyn, and the other boroughs composing the present City of New York.

His opponent was Hugh Grant and the contest was a bitter one. The out come was the election of Mr. Strong by plurality of 1T, 187.
