opportunities for personal display in

The presidential campaign of 1900
was opened boldly and aggressively by
Mr.. Bryan in his speech of acceptance
of the Democratic nomination at In
dianapolis yesterday. The occasion
was one of much interest not only by
reason of the impressive formalities of
the proceedings, and the great enthu-
siasm of the large assemblage, but be-
\ cause the utterances of the candidate
7 fixed definitely the paramount issue of
the campaign which the party in power
has done its best to belittle and cover
up.
|. Mr. Bryan makes his stand squarely
ION the issue of republic or empire. In
Z his speech of acceptance the minor and
contingent questions of public policy
with which this election is concerned
do not receive consideration. The SOL
/enn duty of the people in the preser-
vation of the principles of our govern
m.nt overshadows everything else at
this crisis. 1t is question of national
life or national decadence, and on this
line the great struggle is to be waged.
Mr.. Mckinley has taken up, with his
party, the position of defense Mr..
Bryan opens the attack with vigor.
The issue of Imperialism is discussed
in Mr.. Bryan's speech thoroughly, with
entire fairness, with great force and in
a spirit of nigh patriotism 1t is a re-
slarkable address, ranking perhaps
higher than any of its authors pre-

SLAVERY IN NEW YORK.


The greatest impetus was given to the
slave trade by the act OF parliament Of
1884, which legalized slavery in the
North American colonies. This does
not mean that slavery was unknown in
what is now the United States before
that time, because, as early as 1920 a
Dutch man-of-war landed and sold 20
African negroes at Jamestown, Va. In
1926 the West India Company imported
slaves from the West Indies to New
York city-then New Amsterdam. The
city itself owned shares in a slave ship,
advanced money for its fitting out and
shared in the profits OF its voyages.
This recognition and encouragement
may account for the astounding fact
that in 1850 slaves formed one-sixth OF
the entire population OF New York.
The general prevalence of slavery is
shown by the fact that, at this time.
there were o7 slaves in New York S
small suburb OF Brooklyn, and that in
London itself there were resident 10000
slaves. Slaves were at that time pub
licly dealt in on the London Exchange.
No wonder the traffic in human flesh
was recognized commerce, and that,
in I77I, the English alone sent to Africa
1872 ships equipped for the trade and
with a carrying capacity OF 47,I46 slaves
per trip.-Pearson's Magazine.

Girl Goes Up a Big Chimney.

Miss Dine Polyot, a pretty girl Of
French descentperformed the remark,
able feat of climbing to the top of
an iron chimney 126 feet high at the
pulp mill of the Eastern Manufactur-
ing Company, at South Brewer, Me
The girl made the ascent by means of
a small iron ladder which runs up the
chimney, and, after reaching the top
she seated herself ON the edge and
waved her handkerchief to the gaping
crowd below. Only one man in this
town ever dared to climb to the top
of the stack, although many have
been up half way, and Miss Polyot is,
consequently, the heroine of this and
the neighboring towns.
Ever since the tall chimney was
erected there has been Il standing re-
ward of So to any one who would
go to the top. That a girl could do
the trick was never dreamed of. Miss
Dine, or Dada" as she is known
among her acquaintances, practiced
on the ladder yesterday afternoon,
and as soon as the wind fell at sun
set went up nlmbly. The descent did
not fluster her q bit, and as soon as
she alighted she received So, and with
1t the assurance that she was the
Srittiest girl in South Brewer.

Calm and Patriotic.

Mr.. Bryan was introduced to the
country four years ago in single
burst of popular oratory. He has in
augurated his second campaign at In
dianapolis with an address which must
merit and receive permanent distinc-
ton for the calmness of its tone and
closeness and sobriety of it's reasoning,
and for its breadth Of craftsmanship.
The contrast marks and epitornizes
the growth of the man.
No one ever before nominated for
the presidency was so little known to
the nation at large as Mr.. Bryan was
in 1896, but since that day in Chicago
there has been a continuous unfolding
of a remarkable character under sun
light as fierce as any that ever beat
upon a throne. His rigorous honesty
his constant frankness, his unfailing
courtesy, his undaunted optimism his
intense patriotism have availed to pen
citrate the clouds of partisan and fac
tional prejudice until these qualities
are conceded by his antagonists and
become the reliance of his followers.
While the Indianapolis speech of ac-
ceptance is not lacking in skill and
elegance, the reader will search it in
vain for idle symbols or mere flowers
of rhetoric. He will find instead an
unbroken thread of earnestness and
candor running through it, with no dis
gressive appeals to irrelevant passions.
In it Mr.. Bryan has not planted him
self upon an epithet but upon a prin-
ciple. Call the course of Mr.. Mckinley
in the Philippines Imperialism or be-
nevolent assimilation, as you please,
the Democratic candidate takes his po-
sition squarely and boldly in opposi-
tion of it.-Boston Globe.

II. Phelps Whitmarsh, who tells

Instead of directly igniting the END
of the fuse careful miner bends
it over, and places a small piece Of
lighted candle under the blight. This
economies fuse, and also gives more
time for the man below to ascend
safely.
We were down about forty feet
when, one noontime, Sam, having put
in three good charges, pulled himself
up the shaft by a rope, while l re-
mained below to put the finishing
touches to the fuse.
A shout from above assured me that
all was ready. Placing one foot in
the bowline, or loop, at the end of the
hoist rope, I arranged my three can
dle-ends under their respective fuses,
and sung out to be pulled up.
The line tautened instantly and I
went up toward the sunlight, think
ing about a fox TERROR 1 wanted to

For few yards the slant Of the
shaft caused my feet to drag, and
when 1 reached the perpendicular part
l began to swing violently from side
to side.
Holding to the rope with one hand,
tried to steady myself with the
other. But 1t was useless. About
halfway up, my head struck against
the hanging wall with such force that
l lost consciousness for an instant
and dropped.
1 landed on the foot-wall and rolled
downward, tearing my hands ON tho
sharp rock edges in vain effort to
stop myself. Within a few feet of
the lighted mine my clothes caught
on a jutting piece of rock, and there
1 hung, yelling with might and main
for the rope, and expecting each mo-
ment to be blown to atoms. l forgot,
in my terror, that because of the slant
at the lower part OF the shaft the
rope could not reach me.
The starting fizz of fuse brought
me to my senses. Madly tearing my
self loose, l leaped to the bottom,
drew off the detonators and-fainted.
The last thing I remember was the
sight Of Sans legs. The brave fel-
low had slid down to my aid.

Following are extracts from four
OF the leading newspapers of Massa-
chusetts in reference to Bryan's great
speech at Indianapolis. One of these
journals has a larger circulation than
any other paper in New England. We
pelleve that every one of these papers
opposed Mr.. Bryan in 1896.
Revelation.
Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance at
indianapolis is as great a revelation to
MS opponents as it is source of joy
to his friends. 1t is unquestionably the
most statesmanlike address that has
oeen made in recent years by presi-
Dental candidate. 1t is devoted in its
entirety to a discussion of imperial
ism, which by the very force of this
speech would be made the issue Of this
campaign if it had not already been
such. The tremendous subject is pur-
sued to its utmost ramifications and
the argument and its deductions are in
every respect sound and logical.
There is no resort to invective and
little reliance is placed upon mere ora
torlal effect. The speech is that of n
man thoroughly in earnest and SINGER
1ty shines in every sentence. We be-
lieve that the arguments advanced
against the imperialistic policy of the
Republican party cannot be SO con-
troverted as to carry conviction to any
unbiased mind. Mr.. Bryan has taken
up Republican claims one after another
and with calm but earnest reasoning
has torn them into shreds and flung
them, valueless, behind him.
No adequate idea OF the strength and
compass of the mastery address can
be given in editorial limits. 1t is one
of the greatest and most statesmanlike
utterances of our history. 1t estab-
fishes the paramount issue of the cam
paign and proves that Americans today
stand at the parting of the ways. We
must either cling to the honored tradi-
tions of our forefathers, to the consti-
tuition and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, or We must follow the imperi-
alistic policy to it's inevitable conclu-
sion-to militarism and high taxation
at home and to dominating oppression
abroad. There is no alternative.-Bos-
ton Traveller.

John Is doing a little figuring now
all by himself and is doing consider
able thinking. He wonders why it is
that he and his old friends, those he
knows in town, are not making any
money. He figures that there are
more people around town than there
were in the days when business was
good. He figures that they should eat
as much as ever, in fact should spend
about as much money as ever. But
do they? He answers himself by say
ing that he does not spend as much
money as he used to spend; he doesn't
get hold of it to spend. He figures
that what is true Of him is true Of
other people. The question, who gets
the money? is what he is trying to
figure out. He looks about the store
at his small supply of goods ana re-
calls from whom he buys them. Near
ly everything he has in stock is handl-
ed by trusts. There is no competition.
He must buy from that one party or
not buy at all. They bull the price
He has to pay a large sum for the
goods, but he cannot always charge a
large price. because the people won't
pay it, for what is equally as bad they
can't pay it! What is the result? The
result is that the trusts make the mon
ey. The merchant is forced to buy his
stock from conceSns that tolerate no
competition. He is forced to sell his
goods in competition with his fellow
merchants, owing to the combines that
are formed, the profits of the whole
sale houses are never cut. If the
prices of the goods are raised to the
small merchants, 1t simply follows
that its profits are diminished. The
merchants loss is the combines gain.
And it Is equally true that the COM
bine's gain is not only the merchants
loss, but the public's as well. This
is the fact which John Smith has dis
covered and about which he is ener-
getically telling his friends and neigh
bors. And as a result of having at
last seen the light upon the trust ques-
tion he has decided to vote against
them by casting a ballot for Bryan.
Thus ends the simple story of John
Smith.
