claimed by conservative Democrats,
will be carried by Bryan and Steven
son. 1t shows $50 votes-224 votes
bting necessary to elect, The State
OF New York is included in the column,

corded to Mr. Bryan giving color to
the claims of Mr.. Croker that the EN-

will cast its electoral vote for the

BRYAN SURE TO WIN.
Washington, Oct. 20.

The most conservative observers OF
y. litlcal events concede today that
pryan's chances of election grow
stronger and stronger as the election
approaches. Everybody acknowledges
that he IS much stronger than he was
in 1896. The determined efforts being
put forth by the Republicans to com
bat the Democrats in the debatable
States shows that while they speak
confidently of success tor their stand
ard bearer they are keenly alive to the
d,ngers cf defeat, and are greatly ap-
prsu, nsive over the outcome of the
election. The sledge hammer blows
which have been delivered by MIR.
Fr,an against trusts and imperialism
are having their effect upon the Nc
Kinney forces ip all parts Of the coun-
try. 1t is reported that it has weaned
way from the support of Mckinley q
lacge p-rtion Ot the German vote,
which all parties concede will have q
de. ermining influence in the doubtful
States of fl inois, Indiana and New
York, and in Wisconsin and other
States in the Northwest. The mastery
way in which he has exposed the
workings of the various trusts, and
their ability to shut down or close up
the factories controlled by them, has
solidifed the opposition OF the labor
vote against those industrial combina-
tions. These two forces, acting con-
jointly, it is felt, will prove a tidal
wave that promises to sweep Mckinley
off the political map. Another cir
cumstance, in the opinion of conserva-
tive observers of the trend of things
political, which will rebound to the
benefit OF Bryan, is the increased sup
port which he is receiving from indie
pendent and Democratic papers that
opposed his election in 1896.

In MEMORY.

Jacob Salomonsky departed
this life on the morning of the
10th instant in his sixty-hist year
He had been in feeble health for
sometime and his death was not
unexpected. He left large fam
lily and host of friends to moarn
his demise.
For th,1ty~6ve years or more
he was a familiar figure upon
our streets, and in our business
and social circles. He was highly
esteemed in the community and
especially so in the fraternal so>
cieties in which he held mem>
bership. lie was broad and Cath :
Ollie in his views and possessed a
tender, sympathetic heart.
He was generous to a fault. No
worthy cause failed to find in him
sturdy and ardent supporter.
In his PALMER days when for
tune smiled upon him, many a
heart was made to rejoice by
reason of his kind, unostentation
menistries. Eve- jubilant and
happy himself he seemed a per
feet demonstration Of the fact
"Mercy is twice blessed:
1t blesses him that gives,
and him that takes"
Our noble Hebrew friend is
now gone. But his deeds of kind
ness, his acts OF charity, his
many social virtues will long live
in the hearts of his sorrowing
friends. Thou generous son of
Abraham, farewell.

MERCENARIES FORCOLONlEs

Hrehch Generaps Suggestion for the
Philippine Rebellion
During the course of a conversation
recently with a distinguished French
general who has seen a good deal OF
service in Algeria and in Cochin China
he expressed establishment that the
Uniter States government should be
using It's regular troops and it's volun-
| teers for the suppression of the rebel
lion In the Philippine Islands For
climatic reasons, he suggested the or
ganization Of force recruited not only
from Americans, but from foreigners,
with a special view to service in the
Philippines.
France, he pointed out, made use Of
her so-called foreign legion, a brig
ade OF some $4,000 or 10000 men, for
her hostile operations in Tong King,
and in the same way Holland does
not dream of employing Dutch troops
Tor the warfare in Sumatra, but has
organized brigades of foreign mercen-
aries for service in the Orient. Both
the Netherlands and France offer far
lower rates of pay than the United
states, and the latter, especially IL It
were to concede small bounty, would
not have the slightest difficulty In
raising and equipping valuable force
of German, English, French, italian
and Irish soldiers of fortune, mercen>
aries in the true sense of the word,
who would place. their services at the
disposal of the United States govern
ment for use in the Philippines, for
the sake of the pay and the adventure.
OF course. the foreign legion thus
formed would be under and differed
entirely by Americans, who would
naturally be compelled to maintain an
Iron discipline, the same as is the case
In the French foreign legion, which
comprises men of every nationality in
Its ranks. The foreign legion Of
France was formed partly to admit Of
the use Of the service of foreign vol
unteers, and partly owing to the un-
popularity in France of military SER
vice in the colonies Hollands for
eign legion was formed for the same
reason. and the general declared that
the United States would do we'll to
follow the example Of these two coun-
tries. all the more as the warfare in
the Philippines is almost identical
with that in the Dutch colony of Su.
matra and IN Tong King.

DEMOCRATS TO ORGANIZE

There is danger that our
people feel too secure since the
great victory of August last.
The Electoral vote of this State
must not be lost by inactivity.
Democratic Congressman are
to be elected and if we do not
work hard and continuously,
defeat may follow victory. How
badly would We feel if in the
national election we should have
the humiliation of seeing the
electoral vote OF the State given
to Mckinley and Roosevelt, or
tail to elect our nine Congress-
men. In another column we

State. The necessity of active
work is upon us. Let every man
feel that in some sort, success or
defeat depends II pom his personal

Gold Deposits I'm the pbi,trp,n..


At the distance and with the slight
exploratory work which has been car
ried on in the Philippine Islands, the
minerals that can be probably ex-
ported are best known. George F.

given a very clear view of the present
mineral exploration in the Philippines,
and has shown that gold is found in a
great number of localities in the arch
