more likely, may not have been ac-

BRYAN'S BIG ARMY.
Some Facts which Show the FuIIy o
H's wild Charge.

some Facts which Show the Folly OF
Hs wild Charge.
One good purpose has been served
by Bryan's break that the Republicans
want big army, SO that they can
build forts at every big city in order
to suppress labor troubles. He ignores
the fact that no fort can be built ex-
cept by act of congress; that no troops
can be concentrated at such stations in
peace times, except by practical per.
mission of the people; and that the
army increase itself depends entirely
upon the votes of the peoples repre-
sentatives.
But, taking the army as it is, thu
speech has called out the circum.
stance that there are within the en- :
tire country at present total of only
16,151 soldiers and 534 officers. Thy
great state of Pennsylvania, with &,
strike in progress involving 100000
men, has at the same time, through
out its entire extent, four officers and
72 men. Ohio has no regular soldiers
NltH4h lIo tllLile bOIUeIS GACepC at 10
lumbus barracks, where there aru
eight officers and 696 men, most o.
them new recruits. Iowa, Wisconsin,
Nevada and West Virginia have not o
soldier, and only one enlisted man
overawes the entire state of Missis-
aippi.
Mr. Bryan further neglects to state
the fact that the United States army
never is called upon to suppress labor
or ether riots, except to guard govern
ment property, unless these riots get
beyond the control of the state au-
thorities, who call for government aid,
I and that the state militia always is
used for the suppression of local dis
tu,bances.
still more Gerious, because OF the
intense insult implied in its omission
L Mr. Bryan's failure to take not ol
tie fact, so we'll stated by General
5~hn C. Black, the noted Illinois Dem
o,ret. in a speech for Mckinley, in
t..ase words: "The American soldier
is drawn from our own young men
lie is lover OF liberty, and is fighting
for the flag ana American rights; and

BRYAN'S DODGING.
TRIES FIRST ONE ISSUE AND
THEN ANOTHER.

Imp erinIism D"nr Enthusc tb- p~cr'e.
Il Zoo isb, aud Free Trade the Only
On Left
How many paramount issues has
Bryan tried since the campaign COM
menced? He has shifted them from
state to state, and almost from town
to town, aud 1t is 70 wonder that the
Bryanites (there are no longer any
Democrats) are bothered by their R0-
publican friends when asked, Whats
tAe new issue today?" Look at the
llss. Imperialism, and militarism, am
trusts, and tho attempt to deny pres
perity are only part; at Salem, His,
q howl that the Democratic voters and
election Officers were going to be
bought by WHOLESALER; an appeal for
"Absalom, the young man. who got
into trouble because he was a bad boy
and denied his fathers authority; an
Injunction repeated in spirit, If not in
exact words, to workingmen to vote
any way, except as their employers
might vote; the reiteration of his In
dlanapolis fatsehood that "the real OBJ
ject for permanently increasing the
army was to intimidate the labor ele-
mont when ii presents just complaints.
The idea was to erect forts near the
large cities, and with the forces To-
c?ted in then meet all the demands
OF labor"
This is ncc all, or near all, for in
the far northwest, and at certain
choice spots in Indiana, he revived his
free trade talk in it's full vigor. In a
very few places, mostly obscure, as if
to escape the omnipresent reporter, he
spol,e up for free silver once more,
that four yeLrs ago was everything to
him, and the only salvation of the
country, he told us. From time to
tine he touches up trusts, and threat
ems the destruction of every corpora
ticn, remedy that would wreck about
all the industries of the country at
once, and throw millions of men out
of work He does not propose to pre-
serve what may be useful and valuable.
but in one sweep says there is no
trust but a bad trust, and he would
crush it with free trade, and also with
form of national legislation that has
been already condemned by the United
States supreme court as impossible
and unconstitutional.

This mute record of an unknown
visitor has never been explained. No
hunter or trapper of early days bore
those initials.
Early in the morning, usually soon
after daybreak, at Shoshone lake a
strange sound is heard in the air. 1t
begins softly in the remote distance,
resembling thesinglng of telegraph
wires, some have said, or the peculiar
whirr of a trolley car. 1t grows loud
er as it approaches the hearer, then de-
creased after it has passed him and dies
away in the opposite direction. The
sound has been compared to various
familiar things by different people who
have heard it. Professor Forbes, for
example, says that 1t reminds him Of
an Aeolian harp. Edward Linton COM
pared it to the humming of swarm of
sound of the music of distant bells,
and the imaginations of many observ-
ers has found various forms Of COM
parlson, but the phenomena itself has
never had satisfactory solution. Its
weird character comports with its pic
tuicsque surroundings, and even the
most practical and hard headed man
visitor must feel sense of awe in the
presence of this remarkable song in
the air. The easiest explanation is to
attribute it to the electric currents in
the atmosphere.
