WANTS ONLY ONE TERM.
Mr.. Bryan Talks Interestingly About Himself
and Purposes.

On his way from Deer Park to Cum
berland, Mr.. Bryan had an interesting
talk with Washington newspaper cor
respondent last Friday. The occasion
Of the talk was a recent statement to
the effect that Bryan, personally, had
prospered under the Mckinley admins
tration:
IT never was a poor man." he said,
"in the sense Of not having enough to
live on. My father was a Judge. and
among the people of his community he
was a well-to-do man. Ny share OF
his estate was about $4,000, which Is
now the average wealth Of our people.
IT am better off than I was four years
ago. The presidential campaign In
creased my abilities to make money. l
was offered a salary Of $25,OOO a year
as counsel for an American tile COM
pany, but declined. I made contract
to deliver a series of lectures FOR $5O,-
900: but found there were unpleasant
features about 1t and Cancelled the
agreement. wrote magazines articles
and got $500 for a series Of chautauqua
lectures.
"Since 1896 I have given $500 to COL
leges and $1,70O to the Democratic exc
cutive committee. I saved sum for
my expenses in this campaign and paid
taxes on that and everything I own
which amounts to between $25OO and
s., 900, none of which was earned in con-
sequence of any policy of the Mckinley
administration.
lone of the objections frequently
urged against you. Mr.. Bryan" the
correspondent suggested, is that 1t Is
feared that you will surround yourself
with a cabinet Of Populists or unsafe
people"
II know that" replied he. "A man
who does not wish to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket at once commences to con-
struct a cabinet for me and will al
ways put in it the men whom he dis
likes most. Mr.. Tillman and Mr.. Alt
geld are favorites in this line; but
those who intend to vote for Mr.. Debs
always assume that will select cab
met Of gold Democrats. 1t is safe to
assume one thing. If I am elected I
will be elected for four years and no
more, and I will select such a cabinet
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-09-12

as will make my administration sue
cess. The cabinet will not be selected
with any view to a denomination or re-
election. I stated four years ago, dur
ing the campaign, that would not ask
for a reelection. At the proper time
I will make that announcement again"
Speaking Of his views and policies
Mr.. Bryan said that there need be no
alarm for them. He does not adhere
to political principle that Is not 100
years old. The charge that he Is op-
posing the property interests, he says,
is folly. In his campaign, he declares,
mercenary wealth is hiding behind
honest wealth, and honest wealth had
best get away from the association.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF WEALTH.
What do you mean by honest
wealth and mercenary wealth." the
correspondent asked.
Honest wealth Is honestly earned"
replied Mr.. Bryan. "Mercenary wealth.
or perhaps had best call 1t predatory
wealth, is what Is gained without CIV
Ing any return for 1t. 1t Is best for
people Of wealth to elect a conserva-
tive man. II the policy of legislating
for the advantage Of the wealthy ex-
clusively Is continued indefinitely, dis
turbances will finally occur.
1.-THE Debs movement Is far stronger
than 1t was four years ago. II the pol
icy Of injunctions Is continued 1t will
continue to grow. My remedy for this
Is arbitration. If man employs half
a dozen persons he knows each Of them.
He knows their affairs, and when their
families are sick and in want. This
association brings sympathy, and there
Is no need to interfere between these
employers and employees; but the cor
poration which employs 1000 men has
superintendent to get all out of them
that is possible, and the men are not
known as individuals"
In reply to a question as to the out
look, Mr.. Bryan said that in the mid
die West especially, the prospects are
good and growing better, all the time.
He had been informed, he said, that a
member of the Republican committee
had said that II Mr.. Mckinley should
be defeated his defeat would likely be
as crushing as that of Greeley. He con-
sidered this an important admission.

FAMINE AND PLAGUE IN INDIA.


New York Sun.
The official kilograms from India
though meant to be encouraging, fail
to be 80 on examination. The returns
from Bombay and Bengal are reported
as incomplete; but all the same the
numbers described on the relief works
are given at close on six and a quarter
millions What makes these figures so
terribly signiflcant-and the complete
returns would make them more so-is
that while the people at work earning
wages are fewer in number the number
Of those in receipt Of gratuitous relief
is increasing. Abundant rain Is said
to be falling throughout the country;
but crops are backward, prices are high
and there Is a restricted demand for
labor in the fields. Also, there are no
means with which the fields can be
titled in the vast majority of cases and
over large tracts Of country.
Meanwhile pestilence in one form or
another is running its course uncheck-
ed among the starving natives, and
cholera has begun to attack the British
garrisons. One hundred and forty-sev-
en- cases of cholera, Of which SO were
fatal occurred in 10 days in the vari-
Gus military stations, one cavalry reg
iment losing 13 men. Owing to the
abuses Of various kinds that crept into
the management of segregation camps
established with the object Of staying
the ravages Of the plague, the resist
ance of the natives increased, and riots
In which many lives are lost, were be-
coming dangerously frequent.
The government fearing that graver
trouble might arise out Of these Incl
dents, has virtually abandoned all seri-
Gus efforts to check the spread Of the
disease, with the result that it threat
ems to overflow from the British terri
tory in India into other countries. 1t
is already reported from Afghanistan
that cholera is raging at Cabul, and
the plague, we now know, Is establish
ed in England itself, having made its
appearance in other European coun-
tries and in Africa and Australia.
Looking at the causes to which the
plague danger can be traced, 1t may
one day become an international ques-
ton whether a government under
which such conditions are produced
may not be held responsible for the ex-
istence Of what is distinctly a danger
to the whole world. More than one
English paper is calling the attention
Of the people to the gravity Of the sit
uation, one going so far as to say that
England's income from India is not
worth ten years purchase unless they
bestir themselves, and not only give
efrectual help to famine and plague
stricken people; but determine on such
reforms as shall confer on that people
the power not only to exist, but to re-
cuperate.

Reyere's Famous GslIop.
The ride Of Jim Watts is fit to go
down in history beside that Of Paul Re-
we're. for he saved the lives Of the for
eigners in Tien Tsin. Instead OF peace
full colonists to whom to deliver his
message of warning, it was Watts duty
to ride 60 miles through hostile coun-
try teeming with savages ready to sub
init him to slow torture. When the
Boxers, after two days Of lombard
ment, had almost succeeded in over
coming the foreigners in Tien Tsin,
nine men Of the legation started for
Taku in a boat. Later In the day
came back the word that the boat had
been run aground and the nine men
killed. Later it proved that this re-
port was not true, though the boat had
been run ashore and the nine men scat
tered and obliged to flee for their lives
to escape the fury of the Boxers. The
result in either case was the same
no word Of warning had reached Taku,
where the foreign gunboat lay, and
from which place alone succor could
come to beleaguered Tien Tsin.
When the report came that the other
messengers had been killed, Jim Watts
volunteered to ride to Taku. Watts
was born in China % years ago. the
son Of Taku pilot, and he is as brave

We have never raised objection to q
decent sort Of dress
When the fashion wasn't carried to
the borders Of excess;
Tolerated starchy bosoms free from
wrinkles and from warps
When the fellow that assumed it was
bridegroom or corpse.
Never had no kick q comm If q felleI
made bound
To the dizzy realms o. fashion when
his birthday came around,
Or would celebrate his freedom by g
dressin' loud an gay
A befittin' Of his sperrits when his wife
would run away.
We have practiced self-denial by q
holding down the tongue
Fur to see q feller pumpin' when q
goin' to be hung,
An have tried to curb our anger when
the Honorable Bill SWEET
logged himself to go to Denver when
his legislator met.
But except on sich occasions we have
allus tried to tramp
Mighty clus to the traditions Of oul
free and easy camp;
An the feller that discarded Of the sa-
cred Of WOOL shirt
Fur the polished openbacker stood g
chance O. gittin hurt!
Poker Frank had bin to Cripple lookin
fur an easy snap
An he paralyzed the surplus Of g. ten
der-footed chap;
An to celebrate his winnin' his exag-
gerated taste
Led him into the assumption OF q mas
culine shirt waist.
Twas 80 loud we heard 1t comm 'bove
the rattlin' Of the stage
An the sight Of it brought on us quite
a fit O. righteous rage!
Acted on us modest fellers in our shirts
o. faded wool
Like the sight of a red blanket stirs
the passions Of bull.
We at fust inclined little fur to char

Mebbe he was half demented from the

irresponsible fur chuckin' such an in

An that when he got his jag off he
would try 60 make amends;
But he was in sassy humor, seemed to
glory in his shame,
Asked us up to hit the snakejuice, an
when we declined the same.
Our unprecedented action seemed to
paralyze the gent!
Made him meeker than woman, fur
he knowed jest what 1t meant!
remembered the Parson Bill when
Frank was strugglin' on the t:ue
From a rope made of the garments he

That I really felt sorry we had bin
compelled to make

honor was at stake,
An his reverence jest only TUX occa-

THE NEGRO.
Henry Watterson Says He Is Pretty Much
the Same Everywhere.

the Same Everywhere.
The Louisville Courier-Journal prints
the following from the pen Of Its edi-
tor, Henry Watterson:
Hard upon the Negro riot In the
borough Of Manhattan comes the Ne
gro riot in the village Of Akron. Ohio
beats responsive to New York. The
heart Of the Western Reserve warns to
the culture Of the Tenderloin. Spirit of
Joshua Giddings, rise, behold! Is this
the fruitage of thy abolition? Was 1t
for this that thou didst labor and give
her thy life?
By all the saints from Harriet Beech
err Stowe to James A. Garfield, but the
Nigger has fallen on evil times in Gods
country! He could scarcely have Jared
any worse had he stayed at home and
nursed little Eva.
Dut, softly! The moral grows some
thing musty withal. Twas ever thus,
as the lovelorn swain in the ballad OBJ
serves And. thereby hangs tale.
About two or three and twenty years
ago-maybe five or six and twenty
when the newspapers Of the too-too
patriotic and pious city Of Cincinnati
were vying one with another which
should paint the South in most lurid
colors and raise most Southern h. to
the square inch upon the immaculate
white paper of Chatfield, Woods & Co.,
the old Gazette, edited by the Truly
Good Deacon Richard Smith. and his
wicked partner, Samuel Romeo Read,
easily led the procession.
Each issue Of The Gazette blazed
with rebel bonfires. Whilst the Truly
Good collected the faggots Of news for
the con1agration Of murders done by
the Rebel Whites upon the inoffensive
and loyal blacks, Samuel Romeo
whooped things up in red-hot English
Of how the states lately in rebellion
were more devilish than ever; Of how,
IL not suppressed by martial law and
Federal soldiers, they would rise and
drive out the Union men and massacre
the nations wards; Of how they spat
upon the constitution and tore down
the flag and trampled it under foot, and
a great deal more of the same sort for
quantity.
Well, after q while The Courier
Journal got tired Of this, and since
protests against its injustice and ex-
posure of it's fallacies did no good, it
thought it would try what a simple OBJ
ject lesson might do. Orders were CIV
en- the boys in the clipping department
to cut out Of the Cincinnati Gazette all
the special kilograms relating to crime
in Ohio. Within a single week
enough of these clippings were collect
ed to fill an entire issue Of the Courier
Journal.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
OF TODAY MORE WEARING on
WOMEN THAN ON MEN.
How Best to Aid Nature in the Tn
equal Struggle.

Dr. Cyrus Edison, the great specialist,
says in the North American Review. these
true words: This American life Of ours
is far more wearing on women than on
men. They have, as rcle, more nervous
organization, they are intensely affected
by the strain. Two or three children are
born and the mother is a physical wreck,
she ages soon, far sooner than she should,
and drags her weary days along"
The delicate nervous organization of
women, especially when great strain is put
upon It. needs assistance, and in the sim
pie vegetable scientific preparation War
ner's Safe Cure, this aid is surely found.

Bishop whippIe and the Indians.

Most interesting is Bishop Whipo,e's ac-
count of the manner in which he once pre-
vented an Indian outbreaks, says the
Atlantic Monthly. "Courteousness Of
sreech," he says, rs a marked charac-
teristic of the Indian. 1t is an act of great
rudeness to Interrupt another, and the
last words of every speech are 4 have
done. Knowledge of this fact oncs enn-
bled mo to settle a serious difficulty. The
Indians at Leech Lake had heard-aS was
the fact-that the government had sold
all of their pine without their knowledge
and consent" An uprising was imnninsnt.
and tho indians had already killed the
government cattle. Bishop Whippie was
requested by the President to go 10 Leech
Lake and negotiate with the Indians. "rt

eter below zero, and the snow deep 1t
was a journey of sevonty-hve miles

the Bishop replied briefly as follcws:

Father In the face. When you Gtole these
goods, you committed a crime. l am not

who have committed this crime, IL it

the chief was very angry, and scr uging
to his fest began to talk violently. l folded
my aims and sat down. When no paused,
l said quietly: 'Flatnouth, are you talk
