go experiments which were made up
on dogs. rabbits and guinea pigs. the
animals being inserted In a condenser
circuit, charged by Ruhmkorir. The
number of fatal cases decreased with
increasing weight and age; two con-
secutiye discharges OF 1000 joules did
not kill dog OF seven Kilograms
weight. Quickly consecutive dis
charges have an acoumulatiye effect.
but are comparatively less fatal than
single discharges. Five phases are
distinguished in the effects: general
muscular contraction. commissions,

revived even after the second phase by

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Mr.. Bryan is like thousands of other
Americans who live west of the ANe-
gheny mountains. He believes that the
money lender IS the oppressor OF the bor
rover. He has come to this conclusion
because the farmers of the unfruitful
part of Nebraska have suffered under
grasptng, because his neighbors complain
that freight charges to Chicago eat UP
all the profits Of the wheat fields. He be.
heves that banks are bad because the
people of his section OF the country lack
currency. He Is a silver man, because he
thinks, with the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, there would be more money
in the country than there is with the sin
gle gold standard. But preliminary and
fundamentally, he is opposed to the east.
and his revolution is directed against the
partnership which exists between the
government and private interests.
He is a simple man of admirable char
acter, and possessed of a certain charm
OF oratory. He is absolutely sincere In
every error he processes, and, while he
holds certain sociaIistic doctrines, he be-
heves, rather hazIIy perhaps, that the
government should exist for the general
welfare, and not for increasing the

public welfare. He is an unselfish and
patriotic man.
RICHARD oLNEY.
A much different man from any I have
described or shall speak Of in this arti-
Gle is Richard Olney. He represents the
best thought, the highest training, the
most most acute political conscience of the
Countrywide conscience Of the gold Dem
ocrats who deliberately turned their
backs upon politics and public honors
for the sake of their principle. I hall
not speak of his public career In this
place, for 1t is too recent, and his con-
duct at the head of the state depart
ment made too deep an impression To
tends to vote for Mr.. Bryan because he
regards him as a lesser evil and a
smaller danger than MIR. Mckinley. In
his mind the greatest disaster which
could happen to the country Is the per-
petuatiop of McKinleyism. of his com
mercialtSm for which Mckinley stands,
for that partnership between the gov
ednment and private interests of which
| have already spoken. He is opposed
to the Philippine policy OF the president,
and has reached the conclusion that If
cost to the country, 1t will blast the
republic. He knows what may be the
cost. No man knows it better, for no
lawyer IN the country Is more concerned
all the prophets of Ill should be vindi-
Gated, ne still would hold Mr.. Bryan
preferable. to Mr.. Mckinley. although. in
fact, he has said that any panic that
may follow Mr.. Bryan's election will be-
a stock jobbing panic.
These must be taken as the opinions
OF one who is sometimes admitted to
conversation with public men. The pub
lie Is forced to be content with such
secondhand view. for these solemn rul-
efs OF ours have formally agreed never
to write for publication of each other
1t is only the outsider who can paint

dividuals While he represents and Is g.
typical American, 1t IS also true, FORUM
ately, that those of his fellow citizens
who agree with him as to the means he
would choose for the purpose of over
throwing 'plutocracy" are in the minor
ity. Though how many will vote for him
on the theory, advanced by Mr.. Oiney,
that "plutocracy' ought at once to be
overthrown at any cost, lest it grow I'M
assailable, is quite another question Mr.
Bryan's anti-imperialisIn was nohly ex-
pressed in the indianapolis speech Of &C
ceptance. Since that speech he has ut
tered nothing that approaches it either in
loftiness Of thought or art in oratory.
It was much easter to read Mr.. Bryan 8
character four years ago than it Is today.
Then he was q frank. fearless champion
of economic error; He is now receiving
the support of men who know his errors
as they knew. them then, and who dread
experimenting with him and them. There
has been no changssfor the better in Mr..
Bryan in this respect, but he will be sup
ported by many OF his former opponents
because they believe that he will main
tain republican institutions and destroy
the partnership of the government In pri-
vate interests, and either that Mr., Nc
kinley will destroy theIn or will fasten
upon the government forever the policy
OF WHAT we nave COME u Call CONNER
cialism. They think that the republic may
have stormy and disastrous four years
with Mr. Bryan, but that, even SO, it IS
better that she endure distress and keen
her face turned heavenward than that
she pass the remainder Of her days bend
ing over a stock-ticlker.
Although Mr.. Bryan has not changed
his economic views during the past four
wears, his character has certainly sur
fered a certain amount Of deterioration.
He is not the frank man he was four
years ago, ard he is much more tina
politician, the seeker after votes. It
is not apparent to me, at least, that his
attitude toward corrupt local machines
has radically changed. The bosses were
not so near to him then as they are
now, but they were regular" The
somewhat ostentatious friendship Of
Croker for him Is diSagreeable to those
who have liked to thlI>k him sincere and
upright, even If he were mistaken. Four
years ago he bluntlY said that he want
ed no one to vote for him under q
Misrepresentation; now he avoids the
money question here, eeneeals anti-irn-
perialism under hisfcloak where the colo
NAL policy is popular, but talks about
the trusts everywhere without knowing
precisely what a trust IS. But one char
acteristic stands out in bold relief, no
matter what one may think Of the TN
pleasant changes which have noted:
he is man who does his own thinking.
and who will reach his own conclusions.
He may conceal his opinions where they

OF the apathy of which it has been ac-
cused and y hicho if 1t really existed
wotIld- auguT III for the future OF the
republic and2 Of Democracy itself. 1t is
clear. however,, Notwithstanding the
cheering crowds which have greeted
Mr.. Bryan rushing hastings that the
candidates themselves have not stirred
the pulse ofe the people, and that neith-s
er of them, in himself, appeals to the
country. One, however, stands, in the
opinion of a large body of the voters,
for material interests, for prospective
while the other signifies wild Industrial
and economic experiments and financial
disturbance. This other, however, in the
opinion of another large body of voters,
including some of the ablest ard purest
men in the country, Stands for the re-
public against a threatening empire, for
the rule of the plain people against that
of a vulgar commercial oligarchy, for
the long-eXisting revolt against the al
1ance of the government with what
some Of Mr.. BFyan's supporters call
the ''plutocracy," and which others of
them call private interests" So the
appeal to men, on one side or the other
of the great debate has been usually
moving, 1t Has gone TO IE0 very NIIdlS,
and apathy, under the circums tances,
would have been of dire foreboding.
What Indifference there is, is an in
difference to the candidates personally.
Mr.. Mckinley, although he was once
called the advance agent of prosper
ity," is far from being the ideal con-
servator of the material interests Of the
country the diEgent and prudent states
man, learned in the economic laws
which govern the production and dis
tribution of wealth. The appeal which
his leader, Senator Hanna, is making
to the stomachs of the wage-earners,
condensed into the ''full dinner pail"
apothegm, is a measure Of Mr.. McKin-
ley's political philosophy. This, how
ever, Is the cry of the touter for votes,
and here again We have the very es-
sence of the modern craftsmanship by
which both Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan
are dominated

that Democracy is essentially not so
powerful as an absolutism would strike
him as slur on democracy; probably the
idea that the trainers of our government
deliberately constituted its weaknesg
never entered his mind to find serious
lodgment there. This confident belief
IN the power of the republic makes Mr.

Mr.. Mckinley has also very positive abiI~

the public to his own way Of thinking.
This talent was very clearly exercised
in regard to the question of retaining the
Philippines. Step by step Mr. Mckinley
created a sentiment in favor of the retan
ton of the Islands. First, he was shock
ed, with the people, at the suggestion
that we should transform our war of
humanity into a war Of conquest. Thus
he won the confidence OF the people who
were likewise shocked. Then he dis
covered difficulties IN the way of leaving
them. Then destiny began to loom upon
the horizon. and eventually played the
poor man that lamentable trick, which.
however, he has long ceased to regret.
