FINE OLD COUNTRY.

Fine old country every day
Sun enough fer maxim hay,
An when down the bright rain flows
Amt enough to drown a rose!
Never mind what folks'll say
Fine old country every day!
Fine old country! plains an hills,
Meadows musical with rills;
Skies that ever seem as blue
As your sweetheart's eyes TO you.
Happy on her green-bright way
Fine old country every day!
Fine old country! Spring and fall,
Brethren, she outshines em all!
Coin on from grace to grace
With the sunshine on her face.
Never mind what folks II say
Fine old country every day!

LIVED BEFORE GLACIAL EPOCH
Scientists Discover Evidence That
Man Existed on the Earth
Ages Ago.

The scientific expedition from the
British museum, under Jean Nicale
Gomard, which has been excavating
in Long Island during the last two
months for traces of mans existence
previous to the glacial period, discov-
cred the other day that zone con-
tanning relics of the bygone age runs
in a line due southeast from Green
Point, Brooklyn, through Midland
Beach, Staten Island, to an opposite
point on the Jersey shore.
They found along this line stone i'm
plements of various kinds. in the bowl
derwash," known to geologists as be-
ing peculiar to the glacial period, thus
proving that man existed before the
period. How many years ago it is
difficult to figure, but it is variously
estimated as extending anywhere
from 10000 to 100000 years back.
Prof. Gomard will continue his in
vestigations. and hopes to establish
accurately the line reached by the
great glacier which geologists declare
swept down from New England tens
OF thousands of years ago, carrying
away all vestiges of animal and plant
life.

His Foolish Argument on the Taking Of
the German Loan-His spite Against
the Germans Shown by "a speech Made
After His Defeat.
Bryan propheses that, in case of Nc
kinley's election, the Union will be
sacrificed to Imperialism, and that
every young man will have to enter
the army. Bryan proved himself a
poor prophet in 1896. At that time he
said: "If Mckinley and the Republican
party should be victorious, and re-
main at the head of the government
for the next four years, wages will BIZ
reduced and hard times will follow.
The price of wheat will steadily de-
cline, while that of gold will steadily
rise; the capitalists will foreclose the
mortgages on our homes; factories and
workshops will be closed. We will not
only not be able to export any goods,
but will even have to import such for
our own necessities. Ruin, suffering
and misfortune will be our lot" Every
body knows that exactly the opposite
happened.
In his despair Bryan grabs at the
most foolish arguments to catch votes.
Now he even harps about the German
loan placed in New York. He calls
attention to the fact that American
capitalists fight with each other to
make loan which brings only per
cent, and asks whether II is one of the
blessings of gold standard that mon
ey leaves our country to go abroad
just as IL the American people had
such great love for the German gov
ernment as to permit a monetary sys-
tenn which takes money abroad for in
vestment. 1t is hardly worth while to
waste time on such silly arguments
1t serves, however, as an illustration
Of the fact that Bryan does not rely
upon the principles of a statesman. but
attempts to arouse the people with
such fallacies. That he is not friend
of the Germans is we'll known, as he
never had any use for a German, for
his defeat in 1896 was their work.
Bryan could not refrain from giving
vent to his spite against the Germans,
for soon after his defeat he said in a
public meeting in Des Moines, Ia:
"The last time we were defeated by
the votes of foreigners. he had ma
jority Of the American born voters.
The foreigners did not understand the
issues at stake, and we could not fur
nish them the necessary campaign lit
erature.''
OF course, these ignorant foreigners,
who could not understand Bryan and
who would not hear of his fraudulent
silver dollar, were no others than the
Germans.

Politics. Money flowed like
water-and no one ever quite knew how
much was spent on either side.
Flower won. but Astor Dad consider
ably cut down the ma ajority by subsi-
dizing local political clubs. by Subscrib-
ing for local charities, by buying tick
cts for "chowders." by buying presents
for the interesting infants of rising
Young politicians. According TO the
political rules. this entitled him to a
recognition. He got it by being sent
to Rome as ambassador, and there he
threw pennies to the Roman beggars
and made himself solid. But beggars
in Rome have no votes in New York
Now Mr. Astor is British subject, be-
cause political career is shut to him
in his native land; and by all accounts
he is a sad and broken man. his plans
having gone as widely astray in Eng
land as here,
Most conspicuous of the new political
lights are Harry Payne Whitney. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and o. II. p. Belmont.
The latter is already so prominent that
it seems odd to speak of him as a new
man. Yet he is one.
The path into political prominence is
easy for millions. Mr. Vanderbilt need
ed only to be elected delegate to the
Saratoga state convention to be at
once "mentioned" as congressional tim
ber Payne Whitney, his brother-in-
law, is a democrat
l give one young man as much credit
for honesty in his political views as the
other. Each follows tie creed of his fa-
ther-neither party has monopoly of
millionaires. BY strange coincidence
it happens that young Vanderbilts
business affairs are mostly concerned
at Albany, where the republicans rule;
and young Whitney's business is main
ly with the street railroads, which are
dependent upon the favor of democrat
ic bosses in New York.
