He Didn't Blame the woman

A man went wrong one day,
And didn't blame the woman;
He didn't whine and say
He was tempted by the woman:
Men praised him then, but oh.
The women-high and low
How they abused him, thought
Because he didn't go
And blame it on the woman.

BRYAN'S TOUR.


Wilmington, Del, Oct. 25.-Mr.
Bryan made two speeches of some
length in this city last night, after
having made II other addresses during
the day. Beginning at st. Michaels,
on the eastern shore of Maryland, he
spoke in succession at Easton, Pres
ton, Hurloek, Vienna, Salisbury, Ber-
lin, all of which places are in Mary
land, and at Frankford, Georgetown,
Milford, Harrington, Dover, Clayton,
Middlestown, Kirkwood and Newcas-
tie, in Delaware. The audiences OF
the day were as n rule fair-sized, and
majority of them were thoroughly
appreciative. At few of the stop
ping places in Delaware there was ap-
parent lack of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Bryan at Milford spoke at
length of the trusts and took strong
grounds in support of an income tax,
declaring that such tax was more
lust than levy upon land. The tax
upon land alone must be paid whether
the land produced anything or not,
but no tax on income increased or
cor ID be collected unless there was an
income upon which to base 1t.

TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
10 A. Parker, the Chairman Of Their Ma.
tiOnal Committee, Issues an Address
to His Followers.

Cincinnati, Oct. 25.-Jo A. Parker,
chairman of the national committee
of the middle-of-the-roaders, yester-
day issued an address to his followers
He says:
This memorable campaign Is drawing
rapidly to close, and in the last hours
of the struggle / wish to send to the
true and loyal populsts of this nation,
who have struggled during the dark
years of defeat and treachery for the
life Of our beloved party, message of
good cheer. Four years ago we were
shamefully betrayed by those whom we
had intrusted with power, our organiza-
tlon given into the hands of our politi-
lvered like sheep In the open market.
The great principles of true populism
were prostituted that the greed of polit-
lcal pirates might be satisfied with
power and plumber. To-day our organi-
cation Is once again in the hands Of
true popuists who will never surrender
1t to either of the old parties. There are
electoral tickets In 80 states and the OPP
portunity is thus afforded all true pop
ulists in those states to vote their con-
scientious sentiments-a privilege which
perfdy and political dishonesty denied In
1896
The vote to be polled for this ticket
may not be as great as that of 1896 but
1t Will be large enough to demonstrate
beyond the shadow Of doubt that our
party Is not dead that the false leaders
of the past did not kill IT, This cam
palgn has accomplished this much-and
more-the election In November will put
an end to the disastrous policy of fusion
forever. This alone Is great victory
for true popullsm
Let me warn you against the political
liars who will seek to influence you
against the peoples party
In 1896 they bought out our leaders.
an slandered those whom they could
not buy.
In 1900 they are beginning already the
same tactics. Their alleged exposures
In Ohio are examples of their methods.
Men destitute of principle and honor will
be relied upon for consideration to
swear away the character OF the peo-
pies party.
Let nothing deter you from doing your
whole duty in the work of saving the
peoples party at the coming election.
Yours for true reform,
10 A, PARKER,
Chairman Populist National Committee.

THE MINERS STRIKE.
President Mitchell to Issue a State.
nent on the Situation.
A CONFERENCE OF STRIKE LEADERS.
President Mitchell, Of the United Mine
Worker, says the Review Of the
Situation VIII He Completed
To. Dny.

Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 25.-President
Mitchell last night announced that he
would to-day issue statement de-
filming the position of the United Mine
Workers in the present situation OF
the strike. He also said that his state
ment would in all likelihood indicate
whether the strike would be immedi-
ately declared off or whether it would
be continued. This announcement
was made as result of yesterdays
conference between the natiopal and
district officers of the United States
Mine Workers. The impression
around headquarters is that the state
ment will contain practically declar-
alton that the contest is ended. Coal
companies controlling about Is per
cent. of the anthracite coal product,
it is learned, have posted notices, but
President Mitchell will not say that
all of them comply with the terms Of
the Scranton convention. The big
companies in this district that have
not posted the notices are the Le-
high Coal and Navigation company,
G. B. Markle & Co. ant. Coke Bros. e.
Co. The Markles have granted no in
crease of wages of any kind.
Yesterdays conference was in ses-
sion three hours and was adjourned
until this morning. President Mitch
ell at its conclusion announced that
the situation was partly canvassed
and that the review would be COM
pleted to-day. The conference dis
cussed plans as to what should be
done in the event of one or more of
the coal companies declining to grant
the demand of the miners as set forth
in the resolution adopted at the
Scranton convention. No definite con-
clusion was, however, arrived at.
Mr.. Mitchell declined to say whether
the statement of the United Mine
Workers that no man will be per-
mitted to returnito work unless they
all go in together still holds good.
The notice posted by several of the
larger companies in the Lackawanna
and Wyoming regions yesterday an
nouncing that the mine workers will
be given 2Hs cents on every car or ton
in order to make up the ten per cent.
increase came in for much considera-
ton at the conference. When the
conference adjourned yesterday even
ing this matter was still under discus
sion.

Santiago de Cuba, Oct. 25.-The

We're colored people. The political

CONSUL M'c0oK'S REPORT.
Dsws"n CITY Presents a Marked Contrast
TO What II ID d Iw, Years Ag0-Out.
put ~ GOln decreasing.

Washington, Oct. 25.-An interest.
ing report upon the conditions in
Dawson City and the Yukon district
of Alaska has been furnished the
state department by United States
Consul McCook. Dawson to-day" he
says, presents marked contrast
to the Dawson Of 1898. Then no one,
except possibly the judges on the
bench, wore white shirt. The town
was thronged with miners, pack on
back, prospecting for gold. The
streets were veritable mud holes.
Now people dress much as they do
in the cities of the United States, a
man with pack on his back is an
unusual sight, and one can walk the
town over with polished shoes and not
have them spoiled
The government at Ottawa, it is
reported, will offer for sale at public
auction in Dawson every claim that
has reverted to it by lapse or other
wise, and 80 days after the time of
sale all claims not sold will be de-
clared open for location.
The output of gold has been in
creasing, says the consul, in spite of
the fact that the average values of
the gravels worked have been steadily
declining, the richest mines having
been worked first. But meantime the
cost of working has decreased, and
enables properties to be profitably
worked now which would not have
yielded gains two years ago. There
should be continued output of from
$l5000000 to $2O,OOO,OOO worth of gold
annually for many years to come, ac-
cording to Consul McUook, if the ex-
renses of working are further re-
duced.
Valuable placer gold claims are re-
ported to have been located in the
Stewart river mining district, about
100 miles from Dawson, and STAN
pede has followed to the scene of the
fields.

ROOSEVELT's CAMPAIGN.
Attempt At Rome to Compel the Gov
ernor to Answer Certain Questions.

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Gov. Roose-
velt's third day Of campaigning in
New York state embraced several fea-
lures not heretofore marked in his
reception at other places. At nearly
every place at which he stopped en-
route there were huge crowds of
people. In this city last night, in
stead Of speech-making, the days
work ended with a review of an i'm
mense demonstration. This was en-
tirely agreeable to Gov. Roosevelt,
who, during the day, had made nine
speeches, some of them extremely
long ones, while travelling through
three counties-Chenango, Madison
and Oneida
The second feature of the days
trip was the meeting here of the vice
presidential candidate and United
States Senator Depew and the group
ing together upon one stage in this
city within period of three hours ex-
Comptroller of the Currency Ecliels,
United States Senator Depew and Gov.
Roosevelt. The third feature was a
preconcerted attempt at Rome to
compel Gov. Roosevelt to answer ques-
tions concerning the letter of Mayor
Van Wyck, the prosecution of the ice
trust, the prosecution of the alleged
canal thieves and others relating to
the office of governor That this at
tempt was preconcerted is assured
from the fact that men in the crowd
asked questions, holding in their hand
printed slips, and upon their failure
to compel the candidate to answer
numbers of these slips were thrown
into his carriage. The governor posi-
lively declined to give any expression
of opinion as to the circulars or their
authorship or to answer any of the
questions contained in them. With
the exception of short trip of half
an hour to Herkilner. where a brief
address was made, the eliminating
speeches of the day were at two inn
mense meetings in this city.
