Democratic brethren nave lu-
imported the above renegade
- Republican to speak here to-
morrow in opposition to our RepuD-
lican speakers, we hope we are not
doing the hat shooter or our Popu-
listic Democrats an injustice by
making few quotations from Mr..
Davis speech delivered at Spring
field, Mo-, on September 26, 1898,
and which was reported broadcast
in all the large daily papers on the
27th of that month. The conditions
were exactly the same then as now.
Here is the glowing tribute he paid
to our noble president:

of our nation has wrought SO much In
the same space OF time. lt stanos
without parallel and has astonished
the world. 1t began its career under
the most unfavorable circumstances.
The people were discouraged and rest
less; $263, 900, 900 in bonds with inter-
est running thirty years, which when
due will amount to the fabulous sum
of S607, 900, 900, had been issued by the
preceding Democratic administration
in the piping times OF peace. our
national treasury was bankrupt, and
on every hand could be heard the MUIR
murs OF discomfort. Farmers were
suffering from falling prices and were
placing mortgages on their farms;
glain was wasting in the field and
fruit decaying ia the orchards for
want OF buyers; dust covered mills
and factories, silent looms and shut
ties prevailed everywhere. The fires
had gone out upon American furnaces
under the Wilson tariff law to illumi-
nate those across the sea. Upon every
hand was idleness and wretchedness.
Fearful strikes occurred in all parts
OF the country, while Coxey armies
eplodded along many dusty road on
their way to the national capital "

"Amid scenes aId conditions like

the glorious result. In one year and
a half tariff law in the interest OF
America and American institutions,
industries and citizens has beer plac'

prosperity"
Now the people of Chanute de-
mand of Mr.. Davis to explain, if he
can, why he made the above declar-
ations, and if every word is not lit
terly true. If true in 1898 is it not
trne today? Again, iii speaking OF
the conditions, so far as it affected
the laboring men, the farmers, the
merchants and business of the coun-
try in general, Mr.. Davis said:
.'Farmers are all prosperous and
happy, getting good prices for their
products and paying off their mort
cages. All people who want work can
get 1t at paying wages, and suffering
and sorrow on account Of ldleness have
disappeared.
''The public schools are crowded to

THE LATEST KLONDIKE.
some Interesting Particular. About
cape Nome in Far Away
Alaska.

Cape Nome, on the northern Alaska
coast, is now the place which figures
largest in the hopes and dreams of
gold seekers and fortune hunters
throughout the world. Discoveries
quite unprecedented in the history
OF gold mining have been made on
the sea beach and the adjacent region
at this point.
The existence of gold at Cape Nome
was made known only few months
ago, but the rush in this direction has
oeen very great recently, and the re
gion is now hive of industry. The set
tiement here called Anvil City is only a
few months old, and now has a popula-
ton of over 5000. All kinds of bust
ness are booming, and corner lots. lum-
Der, fuel, mining equipment and pro-
visions are up to sky prices.
Old miners declare Cape Nome 10 be
the most wonderful placer camp ever
discovered. Fabulous stories are told
OF the riches found in the sand of the
peach and in the gulches and creeks
lhereabout. One miner named Lind
bloom, who returned to Seattle few
days ago, cleared up 100000 during the
present season, and has refused $780,
900 in cash for his holdings. A single
nugget worth $3.50 was taken from one
OF his claims recently Another man
from Sioux City. Ia, has brought down
to Seattle with him $4,000 in dust taken
from space As feet square on Cape
Nome beach. The storekeepers at An
vii City are said to have refused to ac-
cept any more dust, as their vaults and
safes are full.-Leslie's Weekly,

DON'T SPEAK AS THEY PASS.
st. Louis MOtOrman and Conductor
Have Worked Together in ST.
lence for Three Years.

Like. the two De Cadeau brothers,
who are said to have lived for years in
the same chateau in southern France
without even exchanging n word, are
Conduc tor William Walsh and Motor
man Benjamin Lindsay, who operate
the single car which runs on a spur of
the Suburban railway over Union ave-
nue. to Forest Park.
In he three long years during which
the two street railway men have run
the ca they have not been upon speak
ing terms, and although their duties
throw them constantly together, never
a word is exchanged between them. 1t
is not because the men are dumb, for
both are good conversationalists, The
cause of the silence is a GOODNESS which
has existed between them for three
years. Before that time Bill and Ben
were known as inseparable-in fact,
had been schoolmates together-and
had purposely arranged it so as they
might operate upon the same line.
The primary cause of the estrange-
ment is not known even to the most in
innate friends of the men. 1t is be-
lieved to have been some trivial affair.
which an explanation would easily have
set right. Both, however, felt too much
pride to take that step. The first in
timation that anything was amiss be-
tween the two which their acouaint-
ancds and fellow-employes had was
mat they were not seen as much to-
gether after working hours and ceased
to visit each other.
1t last, so it is said by employees of
the road. Walsh reported his erstwhile
frie nd for some slight fault, and, a
few weeks after Lindsay reported
wal Ssh for the same error. From that

me ut to their fellow-workmen. who
have many wagers up as to which shall
first break the silence.
4At noon when it is time for the mo-
torneer to eat his dinner, the conductor
goes to the front platform and touches
him ON the shoulder with his finger.
The signal is readily understood. Lind
say leaves his post and while dining
Walsh takes charge of the car. On his
return the conductor takes his leave.
This thing is kept up for 365 days in
the year. Both men have been in the
service OF the company for many years,
and the managers say that both stand
high upon the books.-St. Louis Re-

The vegetable ivory of Ecuador is the

amount TO 1880 tons per annum, of
which two thirds go to Germany and
one-sixth to the United States.
The Gerrh nan firm of Krupp are said
10 be making trial of some light five-cen-
timeter fie id pieces which are con-
strueted OF compressed paper. The
good service of paper in car wheels sug-
gested the experiment.
A Chica 20 workingman has discov-
cred process by which plate glass can
be made from Stag, the waste material
in iron and steel manufacture, and the
federal ste el trust proposes TO build a
plant to turn out the new product.
A glass factory has been started at
st. Helens, England, in which the whole
system of blowing is replaced by an
automatic arrangement of molds and
blowpipes worked by compressed air.
The output has been much increased.
Press dispatches report the success

D'Avar, Of Rome, Italy. According to
accounts several trials have been made
on trains running northward from that

One great reason for the popularity
of the automobile is that it can be more
readily managed by women than horse
drawn vehicles. Many women object
to driving horses on account of their
liability to shy or bolt. The automo-
.fers marked advantages in this
respect, but no lady should try running
an automobile until she thoroughly I'M
derstands the mechanism.
At the southern entrance to the Suez
canal, at Port Tewfik, there is an oil
installation. The oil is stored in vast
quantities in tanks for use either by
ships OF in houses. The tanks each
have capacity of 1000 tons of liquid
fuel for such steamers as may be fitted
to burn it. Special trucks are provided
for sending oil by rail and the wants of
the neighborhood are supplied by small
oil tanks.

LOSS OF LIFE AT SEA.
List of Fatalities Last Year COnsia-
erably Lower Than for Pre-.
viOus Year.

The annual report of the supervising
inspector general of steamboats,, which
has just been made public in the form
of an abstract, contains highly inter
esting exhibit of the numbers of lives
lost at sea from American vessels dur
ing the last calendar year, together
with other important correlated infor-
nation. 1t appears from his document
that the total number of persons
drowned, or who came to their death in
other ways, was 404, which is consd
cradle increase over the previous year,
when the aggregate of fatalities was
1913 less. This increase was due to the
laundering of the steamer Portland off
the Massachusetts coast during the
great gale on the night of November 81,
1898. Every one of the 1877 persons on
board persisted
OF the total of 404 Sc fatalities were
chargeable to accidental drowning, 213
persons went down with wrecks, 10
succumbed to fires, 81 were killed in
collisions, "a We're the victims of eX-
plosions or of accidental escape of
steam, and in 81 cases miscellaneous
causes were reported.
The chapter on destruction of vessel
property shows that 4s vessels met with
accidents, seven had fires. 10 were in
collision, eight experienced breaking
of steam pipes, two had explosions and
is encountered snags and wrecks or
developed leaks. AS the duty of the
supervising inspector generals Office is
to ascertain whether steam vessels have
complied with all the safety require
ments in the matter of ve-saving appli-
ances and relative to the condition of
boilers the report may be considered a
favorable exhibit. The destruction of
the Portland was not due to laxness on
the part of inspectors, but to the reck-
lessness of her captain, who insisted on
putting out to sea in the teeth of fierce
storm.
Except for this disaster, the loss of
life would have been comparatively
small. Only two vessels were damaged
by eXplosions-an excellent record con-
sidering the extent of steam water
traffic.-Baltimore Herald

Death OF a Carrie. p,n.on

Acarrierpigeon met with an untimely
end in midlake off Racine recently, and

the Byron Whitaker steamed up Lake
Michigan Capt. Lewis Elliott noticed n
pigeon which seemed to be tired
out trying to reach the vessel.
The bird was surrounded by flock of
seagulls, which seemed to be bent OH
keeping it from reaching the boat
Finally the bird succeeded in getting
away from its tormentors, and came
toward the Whitaker with great speed.
II alighted on the top of the smoke
stack, was instantly overcome by the
heat and fell inside. So interested was
Capt. Elliott in his visitor that he had
the breeding of the boiler removed,

reached. A message tied to its right
