Bryan a False Prophet.

During the campaign of 1896 Bryan's
efforts were especially directed in favor
of free and unlimited coinage of silver
aud against the gold standard. Since
that time the nation has adopted the
gold standard, and to-day every dollar
of money held by the people. whether
| it be bank notes, greenbacks, silver
certificates, or silver dollars, may be eX-
changed for gold the coinage of silver
being limited to the needs of the money
system.
In every important speech he made
Bryan predicted that if Mckinley were
elected and the gold standard adopted
distress, disaster, and the ruin of all
business enterprise would be certain to
follow. Here are some of his state
ments:
"If the gold standard is adopted it
will make prices fall as certain rs a
stone is to fall when it is thrown into
the air."-(Newton. Iowa specify
at must Immediately make times
harder and harder, increase the debt of
the people and lessen their ability to
pay them"-( Baltimore specify
at must destroy the opportunity to
work and all hope for the toiling mass
es, and increase the number of idle
llltll. oDttCll.)
at must injure the wage earner;make
employment less certain; discourage
enterprise, and paralyZe industry
madison Square Garden, n. Y. :, speech.)
at must make dearer money cheap
er property, harder times, more people
destitute, more people desperate. -
Minneapolis speech to ladies.)
These are but q few of the things
that Bryan said must happen to the
people if we failed to adopt free and
unlimited silver and did adopt gold as
the standard of money.
And thinking men and women who
consult their own welfare are keeping
in mind the false prophesies of the
Democratic leader of 1900. They re-
member the hard times of '94 under
democratic administration. They re-
member tens of thousands of idle men.
They recall that mills were idle and
thousands out of employment. They
recall that manufacturers could find
no purchasers for goods and were COM
PEELED to shut down. They remember
that thousands upon thousands of able
bodied men anxious to work, were fed
at public soup houses all over the
country.
And the electors who believe that it
is good thing to let well enough alone
contrast these conditions and Bryan's
predictions with conditions as they
now find them. Instead of the condi-
tions of '9l or Bryan's dark predictions
of SO, they find that money is more
plentiful and the rate of interest lower
than ever before. There is more capt.
tai employed, more goods being made
and sold and more men earning fair
wages than ever before in our history.
And all of these awakened enterprises
has created a better demand for the
crops, cattle and products Of the farm.
And thousands of men who voted for
the False Prophet of '96 are saying
nothing but will let well enough alone
and leave the management of National
affairs with President Mckinley for
another four years.

The Third Ticket.
The following is from the Daily
Herald, Port Huron:

The following is from the Daily
Herald, Port Huron:
Saturday afternoon will decide the
fate of the third ticket movement, as a
meeting is scheduled for that day, by
those directly interested, to talk over
the matter. To Herald representative
Dennis p. Sullivan, of the promoters,
said:
ave shall settle the matter that day
and if we decide not to place ticket
in the field, you may say this, that we
will not do any guerilla work, but
come out as out-and-out Democrats.
There will be no slashing, but we will
decide the matter finally. L think it
would be far better to come out as
Democrats than to conduct campaign
in the manner that some of the papers
have insinuated. We will be Demo-
Gratis, or take no more interest in the
matter.
4. S. Black, of Marine City, attended
one of the meetings and endeavored to
make a half-and-half affair of it, but
he was sat down on. He wanted to cut
the senatorial and legislative ticket
and part of the county ticket and sup
port the remainder of it, but his sug-
gestion did not meet with approval"

He Grants the Filipinos Nearly All
They Ask For.
Manila, June 26.-General Mac
Arthur has given formal answer to
the Filipino leaders who last Thursday
submitted to him peace proposals. sthat
had been approved earlier in the day
by meeting of representative insurg.
ents. In his reply he assured them
that all personal rights under I. the
United States constitution excepting
trial by jury and the right to bear
arms would be guaranteed them.
!. The promoters of the peace movement
are now engaged in reconstructing the
draft of the seven clauses submitted to
General Macarthur in such q way as
to render it acceptable to both sides.
The seventh clause, providing for
the expulsion of the friars, General
Macarthur rejected ON the ground that
the settlement of this question rests
with the commission headed by Judge
Taft.
That portion of the Forty.third in
fantry which formerly garrisoned the
island of Samar will proceed to the
island of Leyte. giving the garrison
there the needed reinforcements.. The
battalion of the Twenty.ninth infantry
which was sent yesterday to .Samar

With Mail Cars.
St. Louis, June 27.-Judge Elmer

court, today granted q temporary in
junction in the case of w. D. Mahon
and all members of Division No. 1911
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street Railway Employees of America.
restraining them from interfering in
any way with the running of mail cars
over the lines of the st. Louis Transit
Company. None of the defendants
were present. They were represented
by w. S. Anthony, while District At
torney Hitchcock and Rosiere acted
for the government.
In summing up the contents of the
affidavits presented, Mr.. Anthony de-
clared that it was not shown that any
of the defendants named had been
guilty of lawlessness. s'On the con-
trary, !" he added, ''the strike leaders
and all the members Of the Street Rail-
way Mems Uaion have counselled law
and order. The Transit Company is
not responsible, perhaps, for, the un-
settled conditions which existed. 1t
is the union men who have been made
to suffer and bear the brunt of all the
disturbances. The president Of the
union, Mr.. Patterson, is dying in the
hospital as the result of being stabbed
by an assassin.

TO INSTANT DEATH
Thirty.five People Lost in a
Georgia Train Wreck.
WAS A DISASTROUS wAsH-oUT
Tremendous Rains Of the Past Tive
Weeks the Cause Of the
Disaster.

Atlanta, Ga, June ga passenger
train on the Macon branch of the
Southern railway ran into a wash out
3ne and a half miles north of Nc
Donough last night, and was complete
y wrecked. The wreck caught fire
and the entire train, with the excep-
tion of the sleeper, was destroyed.
Every person on the train, except the
occupants of the Pullman car 1tperished.
Not a member of the train crew escap
cd. Thirty-dve people in all were
killed.
The train left Macon at 7:10, and
was due in Atlanta at $40 last night.
McDonough station was reached on
time. At this point connection Is
made for Columbus, Ca, and every
night the Columbus train is coupled
on and hauled through to Atlanta.
Last night, however, for the first time
in many months, the Columbus train
was reported two hours late. on ac-
count of a wash out on chat branch,
AID the Macon train started on to
Atlanta without it's Columbus connec-
tion.
Tremendous rains. of daily occur.
renee for the past two weeks, have
swollen all streams in this part of the
South and several wash outs have been
reported on the different roads. Camps
creek, which runs into the Ocmulgee,
was over its bank and it's waters had
spread to all the lowlands through
which it runs. About a mile and q
half north of McDonough the creek
comes somewhere near the Southern 8
tracks, and, running alongside of it for
some distance, finally passes away
undei the road by heavy stone cul-
vert. A cloudburst broke over tina
section of the country about o'cloci
last night. and presumably shortly
after dark washed out q section of the
track nearly 100 feet in length.
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged. The storm was still raging
and all the Car windows were closed.
The passengers, secure as they thought.
and sheltered comfortably from the in
clement weather, went to death with
out an instant's warming. The train.
consisting of baggage car, second
class coach, first-class coach and q
Pullman sleeper, was knocked into
kindling wood by the fall. The wreck
caught fire in few minutes after the
fall, and all the coaches were burned
except the Pullman car. Every person
on that train except the occupants of
the Pullman car, perished in the dis
aster. There was no escape, as the
heavy Pullman car weighted down the
others, and the few alive in the sleeper
were unable to render assistance to
their fellow passengers.

EXCURSION TRAIN ACCIDENT
Eight Killed Outright, One Missing and
81 Severely Injured.

Eight Killed Outright, One Missing and
81 Severely Injured.
Green Bay, Wis. juno PA north
bound passenger train on the Chicago
q Northwestern Railroad, loaded with
excursionists bound for the Saengrefest
in this city, colIided at 1915 this
morning with freight train at Depere,
I've miles south of here. Eight persons
we're killed and "a were injured.
The accident happened just as the
passenger train was pulling into the
station. A double header freight was
backing into side track, but had not
cleared the main track. Those injured
were nearly all in the second coach.
When the two trains came together the
first car, which was q combination car,
was driven through the second coach,
where the loss of life occurred.
None of the trainmen were injured,
the engine crew jumping in time to
save themselves. Both engines were
badly damaged and two coaches were
broken into kindling wood.
OF the injured 80 are in serious
condition. and several may not recover.
The excursion train was made up at
Fond du Lac and was packed with peo.
pie from that city, Oshkosh and
Neenah.
The first two coaches of the passenger
train were telescoped and demolished,
few of the passengers escaping injury.
Some were killed outright, others were
terribly mangled. Others were badly
crushed and maimed-all hemmed in
amid the debris of the wrecked car.
Passengers poured out of the rear
coaches, and it was but moment be-
fore hundreds of willing workers were
busy extracting the unfortunates.
Some of the injured were barely alive
when they were taken out and died be-
fore they could be removed,
The bodies of Charles Miersa, of Osh.
kosh, and Edward Koske, of Fond du
Lac. were terribly crushed, and could
scarcely be recognized.
The cause of the accident, go far as
has been determined at this time, was
due to the freight crew failing to give
the passenger the right of way.
Late tonight 19 other injured, max.
ing total of 53 hurt, were found at
different houses in the nighborhood,
where they had been taken by friends.
OF these the injuries generally consist
ed of bruises and dislocations.
