The result of yesterdays election proves conclusively that the people of this country do not care to place the presidency in the hands of William Jennings Bryan. Many causes are put forth for his defeat, but perhaps, after they are all summed up,- and argu- ments are made on every side, the real and only cause of his defeat will be found to be his desertion of the silver issue. After all, people like the out spoken man whether in business or politics. Had Bryan been left to his own choice in the matter the silver question would be the paramount issue instead of trusts imperialism and the rest. Had Bryan came out fat footed for free silver in his campaign tour, as he did when the platform was being made up at Kansas City, he would undoubtedly have fared better, and might perhaps have been elected
 The party managers decreed other wise, however, and the result shows whether their decision was wise or unwise. Mckinley's managers took advantage of this point and they made the most of 1t. The battle is ended and the country will now settle down ito business again. We say to business, for no sane man will admit that he thinks the country is going to the dogs whether a republican or n demo- crat occupies the White House.

A QUICK DIAGNOSIS.

I once went to Harrisburg, and had to return durin. the night The train was crowded. At last, in the stif1ing, dimly-lighted smokingcar, I found q man asleep across two seats, 1 awak- ened him. and saying I was sorroy to disturb him, sat down.
 After little while he said, Do you know Dr Owen North?'
 Rather astonished I said, "Yes."
 What kind of a man is he?'
 'Oh, very good fellow"
 He is like all them high-up doc tors, I guess. He gets big fees. l want to know.'
 "No," said I. That is always exag- gerated. Why do you ask?''
 Well, I've had q lot of doctors, and I ain't no better, and now I haven't much money left.
 Upon this my friend confided to me all his physical woes in detail. We parted before daybrenk. It was too lark in the car for either of us to see plainly the face of the other.
 About 10 o'clock next day the man entered my consulting-room. As l should not have known him, except for 8 rather peculiar voice; 1 too, re- mained unidentified. I could not re- SiSt so comic an opportunity. I said, looking at him, ''Sit down. You have a pain in your back
 That's queer. I hnye'
 You are blind in the left eye, and your digestion is very bad" and so I went on.
 At last he said: q never saw doc tor like you. It scares man most. Can you cure me-?
 I said, "YeS," and wrote out my di- rections. It was really simple case
 When he produced q iwell-worn wal. let I declined to take q fee, and said 'I owe you for the seat and the good sleep I disturbed last night"
 "Thunder! I see. You were the man. But law. why did you give il away? I'd have sent you the whole township.''-Dr Weir Mitchell, in the Century. -

Attorney William Kennedy has been vindicated. His splendid run in yesterdays contest shows plainly that he is popular in this district and it also proves conclusively that the peo- pie remembered the way in which he was deprived of his position two years ago. Attorney Kennedy will make a good senator and the interests of the fifth district will be looked after in manner which will be for the interest of the district, and which will reflect credit on the gentleman from Nauga- tuck. We congratulate Nr Kennedy on his good run.

A PAINFUL REBUFF.

She was a bright, vivacious suburban girl about IS years old. She was al most viciouSly opposed to young men who try to begin flirtations with young women In short, she was from Ken wood. He lived on the South Side, ana found his way home evenings, as also did the young woman, by the way or the Illinois Central He was only 2O, and not q habitua1 fiirt, but he was taking his first toddling steps into the dangerous and unknown.
 The youth had seen the young wo- man several times on the train and once he had cleared his throat and raised his hat as she passed him on her way out of the train at the station. He wondered whether it was the Slacken- ing speed of the cars or desire to get a better view Of his face which made her half pause almost in front of him. After that day he longed for another opportunity to make further eXplora- tions and advance his picket lines. At last the blessed opportunity arrived. One evening he found the young wo- man sitting by herself on the train, which was just about to pull out Of the Randolph street station. He made for the vacant seat beside her with the speed of a trolley car as the train started Southward.
 'I beg pardon. is this seat taken!' he asked tremblinGly as the blood rushed to his face.
 Ut is not" cautiously responded the young woman, as she moved slightly toward the window to make room for him.
 Heavens, how delightfully."- easy!' he thought to himself. His head fair ly spun at this encouragement. He must go in now to win. He must strike now while the iron was hot. But in his delirium of joy he could think of nothing to say, but he must say some thing or the young woman would think she had wasted encouragement oD un- productive soil. She would be disgust cd with her lack of judgment in giv- ing such q weakling q chance. Per spiration was standing out on the young mans brow when, grasping at straw like q drowning man, he turned to the young woman and eN- claimed in halting tones:
 Its pleasant evening""
 The young woman turned upon him with peculiar kind of smile that nearly froZe him to the seat and said "Does co like to wide on the choo-choo cars? Isn't co afwaid to wide all by ooself?' The next second the seat at the side of the young woman was vacant and the young man was disappearing through the rear door of the car.- Chicago Chronicle.

After the smoke Of the battle cleared away last evening, the beamins coun- tenance of Judge Lowe could be dis cerned coming forth from the contest with his usual handsome majority The judge has host of friends and they stand by him when friendship counts for something. The republicans might just as well cut the position of judge of probate from their list, as the pres ent incumbent seems to have q lease of it as long as he wants it. The judge is to be congratulated for once again he has helped to save the demo cratic ticket.

Bryan's hope of ever becoming pres idcnt died when the SeW York Jour nal last evening sent out the news that New York state would probably give Mckinley 150,OO0 majority. Too bad. If given the opportunity, we think he would have given the coun- try an administrators of affairs that would have brought his enemies of to- day to his support in such numbers that second term would be needed be. fore the country would be satisfied.

A GIRL WITH NERVE.

It happened on 2 suburban boulevard last Saturday night and the heroine is an athletic girl out of high school only a year The girl was returning to her home 2 little later than is customary for young women to be on the streets. and when she was within . block Of her house man sprang out from be- hind tree and demanded her pocket book. Upon the girls hesitation to give up her money the man stepped nearer and groWled:
 Hand me your pocketbook, and be quick about it and don't make any fuss.'
 Now the pocketbook that the girl carr.ed was the kind that has Il strap which slips over the owners hand and when 1t is worn it lies over the back of the fingers.
 When the man made q second de- mand for the pocketbook the girl stepped close to him and handed it to him, but not in the manner expected. She just handed one on the jaw with the hand that carried the pocketbook The leather spread out over the little nst, and. as there was considerable sil- yer in it. the blow was vicious one. The robber went down in q heap.
 He was on his feet in second and came back at the girl with look of the greatest surprise on his fare
 Hand nae that pocketbook,' he growled.
 All right" answered the girl, strik- ing him again in the side of the jaw This time the man did not set I'D So quickly, but lay moment groaning on the ground. This was the adyan- tage the girl was looking for, aud she took to her heels, and was soon within her own home. And here follows an- other queer part of this true tale When she flew through the doors of her home and was met by her mother and sisters this strange grrl didn't faint. but she just sat down and laughed loud. ringing, @ wholesome laugh and made lightof her adventure, thus further sshattering. the traditions of her sex.-Kansasa City Journal. = flss 5s5f -s

ACTIVITY IN THE KLOND|kE.
UNPRECEDENTED AMOUNT OF MN
ING WORK IN PROGRESS.
dicted-Price of Beef Has Fallen
80 Cents Per Pound-Due to over

Since the first discovery Of gold. nearly
four years ago. there has not been so
much mining work done in the Klond!ke.
as is in progress now and has been done
during the past winter. This is the unan-
imous belief Of the Dawson passengers Of
the steamer Cottage City, which arrived
yesterday morning from Skagway April
.. The introduction and extensive use OF
improved machinery, they say. has re-
suited in the piling up of unprecedentedly
large dumps OF auriferous gravel
]. A. Stewart. one of the last of the
Cottage City's passengers to leave Daw-
son, says the output will be larger than
ever before. Mr.. Stewart and his part
ner Thomas Scott left Dawson March
%. They passed several hundred people
on the TRAN. Many OF them were making
rather slow time, owing TO the fact that
the snow on what Is known as the c. y.
cutoff and other portions of the trail Is
soft on portions OF the cutoff there is
no snow at ALL the ground being bare
for stretches Of five and six miles None
of the inbound passengers was in dis
tress.
Other Klondike arrivals are Nils Peter
son, one of the prominent operators of
the district; Col Frank K. Miles OF Mon
tana; A. E. Smiley. j. r. Montgomery
and E. w. Sanderson. The latter is a p,o-
neer OF the Klondike. year ago his
uhoH travelling companion tried 10 muir
der him on the trail. He escaped and
subsequently caused the mans arrest and
conviction on charge of attempted muir
der.
Fresh beef at Dawson. according to a
telegram received at Skagway, was sell
ing "a % cents per pound March % With
in sixty days it had dropped nearly so
cents per pound. The drop was due to
the arrival OF large quantities of fresh
beef from the outside. II. |. Miller took
in $50 beef cattle which he slaughtered
at Fort Selkirk. He got all of the dress
ed beef 70 Dawson by March 20. and sew
eral smaller lots arrived about the same
time.
The unusual luck OF the moose and car
iboo hunters on the headwaters OF the
Klondke the past winter also had much
70 do with the fan In prices of fresh meat
Three or four thousand moose and carl
boo We're slaughtered during December
and January.
Mrs Turner, wife of c. w Turner. of
Skagway returned to this city her for
mer home. on the Cottage City. Mr. and
Mrs. Turner resided in Skagway for about
two years.
The Cottage City had 400 tons Of Tread
well mine concentrates and twenty tons
