Possibly to save the feelings of the

originates. We sympathize with the

In order to raise funds for the demo-
cratic campaign, a movement has been
started in Chicago. An endless
chain has been adopted and thousands
Of letters are being sent out to women,
boys and girls. The plan is we'll I'M
derstood-to start with 10 cents and
names Of two persons to whom the ex-
ira letters can be sent. The circular
states:
"Is is our purpose here to destroy
the imperjalistic idea by bringing about
the election OF William Jennings Bry-
an for president. To do lis a cam
paign fund, sufficient in amount to
carry on THE fight vigorously up to
election day, is absolutely necessary.
Everyone opposed to trusts and i'm
p~eriaism must work and should cor
tribute something to the campaign
fund. To help raise funds, h chain
letter system has been adopted. The
plan will serve two purposes; it will
help to establish the idea of going d.

it will give every man, woman, boy or

THE GIRLS LEAD THE BOYS IN
SCHOLARSHIP

We were something surprised to read
la statement as to the two sexes at
tending the celebrated Chicago uni
|versity. The two sexes are taught
There and with equal advantages. For
some reason it is now proposed to di-
wide the claSses-not to teach both
sexes at the same time, but to have
separate classes for each. This is prac-
ideally an abandonment of the co-edu-
|cation idea tina is 81 pleasing to those
fathers who Ike such things, includ-
ling the fad of compulsory education"
But the idea of separation cannot come
from any inability of the women to
hold their own, for they surpass the
males. according to the report before
US. 1t reads, for instance, and it will
shock and surprise MANI men:
The Dean of the senior colleges re-
ports for the year 1889 that of those

A Forecast Made by the Populist
National Committee

Lincoln, Neb., October 13.-The fol-
lowing statement over the signature
of J.. A. Edgerton, the secretary. was
given out tonight by the peoples party
national committee:
Bryan will be elected; he has lost
none of the support he had in 1896 ex-
cept a few silver republicans in the
mountain states. OF these there will
not be enough to affect a single cleo
of the Mississippi nj viii carry every
state in that region that he carried in
SO. with the possible exception of Wy
oming. He will gain heavily in the
central west, M east; he will not only
have all the democrats and populists
Who supported him in 90, but, added
to these, he will receive the votes of a
large number Of gold democrats and
former republicans who have left their
party on the issues Of Imperialism and
trusts.
1.-The following states may be classed
as certain to cast their electoral vote
for Bryan: Alabama IL, Arkansas 8,
NoIoId VI II AoRAoo 4 As A

souri, II, Montana 3, Nebraska s, Ne
vada 3, North Carolina II, South Car

Add to these the following states that
will probably cast their votes for Bry-
an: Illinois "A, Indiana Is, Kansas 10,
Kentucky Is, Maryland 8, South Da-
kota 4, Washington 4, West Virginia
6; total "a.
These, added to 1853 certain. give 237

electoral college.
Otside of these certain and probable
states are the following doubtful:

Teddy Roosevelt Justify denies that
he sale harsh and cruel things of west
ern farmers. But he did say them.
He says with his usual regard for truth
that it sis villainous lie." The New
York Journal says:
Theodore Roosevelt did make this
statement; he made it in an elegantly
gotten up book published by the Cen
fury Company to sell ait a high price.
He never imagined that any of the de-
borers,' or mechanics or 'workmen'
would ever be able themselves to read
the wanton insult. And now, when
engaged in making frantic appeals for
the votes of these same people he so
thoroughly despises, he had the tenn
Gritty to deny point blank that he ever
said it. But he did say it. If Mr..
Roosevelt regrets the insult, if he now
believes it was unjuStified and uncall-
ed for, let him make manly apology,
and not attempt to deny plain truth
Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail,
by Theodore Roosevelt, was published
by the Century Company, of New
York. 1t may be found in any public

He is a b~low-hard, a clustering
braggadocio over his own poor mill
tary feats (The Washington Post has
exposed him) and now he denies his

Roosevelt are a positive menace
to Mckinley instead of adding strength
to h ticket. The injudicious utter
ances OF Senator Hanna on the stump.

An ADMIRABLE BIOGRAPHY OF
CROMWELL.

Recently h address of Lord Rose
berry upon Oliver Cromwell was briefly
referred to in these columns. That he
was the greatest ruler Great Britain
ever had is accepted as a fact by many
at the most eminent writer's. That he
was the greatest man is held also by
uren of distinguished names. We refer
again to the great leader to call atten-
ton to a biography recently published
that is even more important than that
by o John Morley. to be issued in a
few days. The work we refer to is
OLIVER Cromwell and the Rule of the
Puritans in England by Charles Firth
III A. Balliol College, Oxford. He has
produced a work of great research and
interest, and is doubtless the best work
On Cromwell ever written. We read a
part of Mr.. Morley's work as it ap-
peared serially, and it is very strong
and interesting. He is one of the great
est living writers in English. But Mr..

pronounced excellence, and is so fair,

"Ex-President Grover Cleveland has
