began with the delivery of address by the
Mayor on behalf of the city. Alexander E. Orr
spoke next on behalf Of the Rapid Transit Com
mission.
THE MAYORS HATEFUL OF EARTH.
At the close of Mr.. Orr's speech August Bel
mont. with few felicitous words. handed the
silver spade to the Mayor A cheer arose
the Mayor accepted it. and at the moment
bombs and rockets sent up from the neigh
boring buildings. Placing the point of the spade
into the mould, the Mayor pressed the top of the
blade with his right foot until he had forced it
level with the earth He dumped the first shovel
full OF earth upon the stone pavement the
hands of the clock stood exactly twelve minutes
to o'clock. The Mayor was about to step out
or the excavation, but turned suddenly back
again. Taking off his silk hat he placed it upon
the ground, and digging up another spadeful OF
earth he emptied 1t deliberately into the hat.
That shovelful, he explained he meant to dis
tribute souvenirs
Councilman Wise received the silver spade
from the Mayor and then in turn handed 1t to
Mr.. Orr, the other Rapid Transit Commissioner;
Mr.. Mcdonald and Secretary Burrows, who each
took part in the excavation.
Then the bronze tablet was fitted into the
space and at the end of the process Controller
Coler made the closing address

who were to take part In the ground breaking
with the playing of 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
A few seconds later the leaders of the procession
came into view. and the cheers which broke out
from the nearby spectators taken up by
the others until 1t became vast roar.
THE PROCESSION.
Heading the procession were the sergeants-
alarms of both houses of the Municipal AS
sembly and following them came Mayor Van
Wyck and Controller Coler, escorted by Chair
man Eugene A. Wise and members Of the AS

The remainder of the procession was made up

PRESIDENT ORR FOLLOWS.

President Orr followed the Mayor. He briehy
reviewed the obstacles which had beset the
path OF the Commission. and gave generous
credit TO Mayor Abram s. Hewitt and the
Chamber OF Commerce for what they had done
to make rapid transit possible. He then drew
a strong contrast between the contract finally

Prophecy Unfulflled.

Colorado Springs Gazette: Four years
ago yesterday, October u, 1896, Mr.. ".
J. Bryan addressed the people of Min
neapolis. MINI. In the course Of his re-
marks he said:
THE gold standard means dearer mo-
ney; dear money means cheaper prop
erty means harder times; harder times
means more, people out Of work; more
people out Of work means more people
destitute"
Somewhat more than three years la
ter Samuel Gompars. president OF the
American Federation Of Labor, at the
convention of that organization held In
Detroit, December II. 1899, said:
1.-THE revival OF industry which We
have witnessed within the past year Is
one for general congratulation, and It
should be our purpose to endeavor to
prolong this era OF more general en-
ployment and industrial activity. -.
1t Is beyond question that the wages Of
organized workers have been increased,
and in many instances the hours OF Ia.
Dor have either been reduced or at least
maintained"
Anyone can make predictions. but
having them come true seems to be Mr..
Bryan's weak point.

spark OF life left, 1t won't be enough to
last 1t through another campaign. The
Democrats don't notice the stencil of
this one corpse. for they have SO many
in their closet that one more don't mat
ter much. ,s
Mr.. Bryan had better do what a man
did in Otterville, Mo. He closed his
store and left this notice stuck on the
door: Gone to the, street, fair at Sc
dalia; will be back when l get sober"
Bryan says:
III We have had four years Of hard
times l want four more Just like them"
But now the government Is partially
out Of the tangies that It got into during
Cleveland's term OF office, and am
sure We will find out the next four
years great improvement on the last.
II people did not have q full dinner pail,
Gas has been implied. 1t must have
been their own fault. for they have had
money for the theatres and elaborate
toilets. Surely, II the people have had a
poor dinner pail. 1t must have been the
fault Of the cook.
Talk about dead issues. Why the
whole Democrat Issue Of this campaign
was born In 1857 or thereabouts, and
suffered and died during President
Buchanan's term of office. You will
find on its headstone this inscription:
Sacred to the memory Of the Demo-
cratic issue, which starved to death
during the year OF 1857, In the autumn
Of which q sudden money panic over
spread the country and eventually e1-
tended In some degree to the principal
commercial cities of Europe. On the
18th OF September the banks of PhIla-
delphia suspended specie payments;
New York banks October Ii. and Bos-
ton banks on the 14th of the same
month. So the poor sufferer gave UP
the ghost and has been quietly sleeping
for forty-three years until Bryan got
into the field" ~
What courage that man possesses to
dig up such skeleton. Our nation Is
nearing n wonderful crisis, and we
have scores OF young voters who are to
cast their first vote this year.
May God help them to vote
straight. mark honest tickets, with
the conviction that their vote
may be the one that may mark the
turning point for the continuance OF
this administration. Think what It
would mean for US to have free trade
