The Democrats are continually
charging the present administration
with fostering British interests,
and without reasonable grounds,
too. On the other hand no party
in the United States ever helped
English interests more and to our
own misfortune than the Dem
ocrats bave done iu the past and
will do again if they should be
restored to power. The Democra-
cy's collusion with the Golden
Club of London, an organization
for the promotion of free trade,
during Cleveland's last admins
tration was preconceiyed scheme,
directed from London, to build VI
British industrial interests upon The
ruins of our own. How well they
succeeded is now a matter of histo

Organism means rotten money,
all the dodging the Democrats can
do will not bring them on the right
side Of this question as long as
they cling to the man from
Nebraska. Bryan gave it out
cold to the Kansas City con
vention that he would not play
at being q Democrat any longer
unless the convention reiterated
the 16 to ! fooIishness, but would
decline the nomination and run on
the Populist and Silver Republican
tickets as Il Populist and Silver
Republican. Therefore, since the
Democrats have swallowed Bryan
ism again the clink Of free coinage
emanates from them whenever
they make dodge to get away
from it. They can not get rid of
the indigestible mass until they
throw Bryan up with it.

Returning Silver Republicans.

In The light Of accomplished
facts the Republicans who left
their party in 1896 TO vote for free
coinage have necessarily modified
their views. The arguments aI-
vanced III that year are no longer
heard. for they have been disprny-
cl. An immense vote for silver
was poled in the thirteen states
west Of Missouri. Iowa and Mime
sofa. Bryan 5 total in the thirteen

vcr brought to the Democratic
party in these thirteen Western
states 4 re enforcement of i1O.3t0
votes. Only Il ralt Of this aa(;i-
tional support came fro!n the Pop
u!ist party. Harrison received
6o2,3,5 votes in 1892. and Nc

exceptionally full vote, an increas-
ed population, and enc additional

rs early is 1e9S the silver Re
pubiicans came streaming back to
their party. In the thirteen
states named Bryans plurality III
! 1896 was 25l, ,4oG. IN 1898 the
Democratic plurality dropped to
13222. .S1i. a reduction Of over 30
per cent in two wears. -Four

changed from Democratic to Re

can be given for the passing of
free coinage sentiment in tue West.
When Senator Teller presented the
minority report on coinage in the
! Republican National Convention
of 1896 he said: Il believe that

How They Fix Snakes on South
 Third Avenue.

A lot of women and children down on South Third avenue have been seeing snakes lately notwithstanding the neighborhood has a good or fair repu- tation for temperance. They have told alarming stories about all kinds of snakes. One great rattlesnake made his habitat under the front door step of Aone house. A big red racer chased an other woman aroun1 another house (hntil she was out of breath and pa ltience and turned upon it with hoe cand killed it. Bullsnakes. corallitos, chicken snakes and blow snakes have appeared in what was described by the women as an international reptilian convention, the delegations of the cobra de capello, anacondas and boa constructors having been unfortunately distant. but hourly expected.
 Yesterday morning a new kind of snake showed up. He was a brick

Not man had seen ohe until 5:SO yesterday afternoon. This favored child is a well known at torney occupying a responsible public position. He had lately had his dining room floor laid with linoleum of a small diamond shaped figure. His wife se- cured a super1uous piece of it about seven feet long and two inches wide. She placed it in the grass on the lawn in q sinuous position and notified all the neighbOrs to be on their front porches and see St. Patrick at work
 He arrived little after ,. His wife met him at the gate and as they walked toward the house she pointed at the snake, screamed and tainted. The law yer fell over the dog, ran tc the next door neighbor. borrowed a long handled shovel and hacked that strip of lin- nleum into sections about two inches long. His wife in the meantime had re- covered from her faint and was sitting on the porch joining in the applause.
