greens, however, swept clean as a parlor

Lakewood, y. J., Jan. l Specialized golf balls
were thick as plums in a Christmas pudding at
the Lakewood links to-day. 1t takes more than a
January furry TO stop a golf tournament, and
though thsr ground was covered with snow the
golfers made light Of the downfall, and the matches
we're continued throughout the day. In the after
noon the sun came out and the dazzling crystals
on the tall pines surrounding the course made a
picturesque sight. There were many pretty girls
in the crowds which journeyed over from the big
hotels, and the gathering in the clubhouse a
gay one. Furs and heavy golfng wraps seemed
proof against the cold. for no one complained and
the days matches were altogether the most in

Among the acts of heroism during
the recent food in GalyestoD, Texas,
mono is moro worthy of ehronicling
than the faithfulness of two, hundred
prisoners who were released upon
parole just before the stGRm swept
over that city. Out of that number
one hundred and ninetysix again
reported to the officials. 1t is pre-
summed that the other four met their
death in the food. This honorable
action is worthy of wide publicity.
Credit is also due to the liberal
minded warden Of that institution
who had implicit confidence in their
devotion to duty. He preferred
trusting to their honor and giving
them a chance for life than seeing
them die like rats in a tIap.-Prison

from the uninformed who might labor

for state treasurer; he is we'll quail

this miserable attempt to insinuste
that he gets drunk, is the dirtiest
piece Of work Of the campaign. There
was too much of that kind of cam
paigning two years ago, but nothing

this, and fair-minded men everywhere
despise such tactics and will feel dis
posed to rebuke them. Captain Van

his private life, and the opposition
must be in deplorable straits for cam

..WHAT COULD BRYAN DO FOR
SILVER?''

Il
/ SILVER2''
i We have seen that while protected
| by the Cleveland administration as
effectually as it could be under any
goldstandard Law, the country suffered
from apprehension Of what was threat
ened. If Mr.. Bryan shonld be cleo
ted now, would there, or would there
not, be ground for apprehension as
to what might follow2
The gold-standard law received IL
DemocaStic votes in the House.
There is greater probability that the
next House will be Democratic than
that Mr.. Bryan will be elected; and,
if the latter event occurs, it may be
accepted as certain that the House
will be Democrats by much larger
majority than II. The free-silyer
element will organize the House, elect
the Speaker and control Legislation.
In the Senate there are now 81
votes to sustain the gold-standard
law, counting one in the Pennsylva-
MIA vacancy. Blu. the two Democrats
who voted for it, Lindsay and CAT
ferry, will be replaced on March 4 next
by free-silver Senators already cleo
ted. Seven Republican Senators
who voted for it are likely to lose
their seats at the same time, if the
sentiment of the country is such as
to elect Mr.. Bryan. They are Baker,
of Kansas; Carter, of Montana; FL
kins, of West Virginia; Shoup, of
Idaho; Thurston, of Nebraska; War
rem, of Wyoming; and Wolcott, of
Colorado. If Mr.. Bryan is elected,
he will almost certainly carry all OF
these States; and if he carries them,
it is to be expected that they will
elect free-silyer Senators. Nine votes
deducted from the sound-money
strength leaves the Senate tie, with a
free-silver Vice-P President in the chair,
| It is apparent, from the foregoing,
that if Mr.. Bryan is elected there
will be no safe and reliable majority
against him in either branch of Con-
gress. It is impossible for any man
! to give his influence to the election
of Mr.. Bryan without aiding him to
i control in Congress. A few sound
money Democrats in either body will
not suffice to relieve the country from
anxiety. Against them will be their
party's platform, the tremendous
weight of party pressure, the organ
izstion in both houses, and finally the
Influence and disciplinary powers Of
the President. A signal example OF
what the latter can accomplish was
given when the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman Act was repealed, and a
striking demonstration of how Mr..
Bryan would use those powers was
afforded by his attitude toward the
Kansas City Convention From
"Bryan's Financial Policy: A Repub.
lican view," by the Hon. George E.
Roberts, in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for October. s.
