eve believe It to be perfectly clear
that II the country has rejected Mr..
Bryan it has done so with reluctance"
says a Democratic exchange. Upon
what ground does il base that asser-
tion? Out OF 447 electoral votes Mr.. Nc
Kinley gets 292, Mr.. Bryan 155. or the
with sixteen in the balance. OF the
forty-hve states, Mr.. Mckinley carried
twenty-eight. Taking thei majoritles
as estimated in the states carried by
Mr.. Mckinley they aggregate 1,144, 800,
as against 654, 800 in the states carried
by Mr.. Bryan. Surely these facts and
figures do not indicate any reluctance
on the part OF the people to reject Mr.
Bryan.

The social and material rather than
the political growth of the United
States, is the motive Of The Expan-
sion Of the American People, by
Professor Edwin Erie Sparks, OF the
University Of Chicago. The book de-
scribes the movement Of the people
across the continent, weaving in local
history at every point and showing
how all these incidents have led to the
making Of the union. Routes Of mi
grafton, means Of travel, and increase
OF communication are given a large
space. The book is profusely illus
trated with reproductions from photo
graphs Of historical places and rare
wood-cuts, which the author has spent
many years in collecting. It will be
published by Scott, Foresman and
Company, Chicago.

INTEREST REAIIZED.

Because Of its favorable opportuni-
ties for making choice investments,
the Company has realized as large a
rate Of interest as is possible to be Sc
cured without mourning risk Of the
loss Of principal, and has also realized
a profit OF more than S15,300,000 from
the increased value Of its securities
over their cost, and in addition there
to, the market value of its present Sc
curities is over s1S,500, 900 more than
their cost. These large sums, added tc
the interest actually earned, make this
rate realized far in excess of that
which could be secured on investment:

Republicans, with all the branches

defensive before the people, and the
Democrats will be prone TO call public

slble out of them. 1t remains for the
party in power to conduct itself in
such manner that there can be no ef-

But for the disreputable action of the
Democrats who blocked the election in
the Third election district of the First
representative district on Tuesday, the
face Of the returns from the Second
senatorial district would show a plu-
rality for Howard d. Ross the Repub-
lican candidate for state senator, in
stead OF for Francis j. McNulty, the
Democratic candidate While the Board
Of Canvass cannot go behind the re-
turns and count the many Republican
votes kept out OF the ballot-box by the
Democratic work Of blocking the vote,
the Republican State Senate will have
1t within its power to right the great
wrong done Mr.. Ross, by unseating Mr..
McNulty and seating the man who was
the choice of the people Of the district.
To permit Mr.. McNulty to retain the
seat would be to encourage the Demo-
Gratis to resort to such desperate ex-
pedients at future elections.

many instances machine guns were
furnished TO the chiefs of mountain

against the villagers and settlers they
again got the upper hand. A body of

In an instant Cummings was boiling
with anger and hurt pride. He drew
himself up, looked the secretary
straight In the eyes and said:
