THE bitterest of foes is the one
who takes up arms with the enemy Of
his own country. This truth may or
may not be applicable to the Union
Veteran from Georgia who intro
duced the resolution against the
entwining of Confederate battle flags
with the stars and stripes, for Mr..
Pierce may not have always been a
Georgian. But it is piece of venom
such as is seldom displayed by
Northerners who have resided in the
South or have become well acquaint'
ed with its people. His words
deserve the contempt Of all patriots,
both north and south.

NEW YORK is regarded as the
pivotal State in Presidential cleo
lions, though it is not always nee
essary to an election. In 1892 it was
not necessary to Mr.. Cleyeland's
election. In this campaign, however,
the political eye seems to be turned
on that State and much campaign
work will be done there. The city of
New York being largely Democratic
makes the elections in that State
somewhat mystifying and it is eaus-
ing considerable uneasiness among
Republican leaders. Mr.. Bryan,
with his personsl.magnetism, is yet
to tour New York, and predictions of
the result in November are mere con-
lecture.

BRYAN In Middle States.

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-Unless the
national committee has other and differ
ent ideas of the matter, Mr.. Bryan's
first appearance after the Indianapolis
notification ceremony will be in the state
of Ohio. Urgent requests have come to
him from democratic leaders in Cleve-
land, Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati
telling him that the campaign can be
given a tremendous impetus il he will
open it for them. The idea has capti-
vated Mr.. Bryan, and if possible he will
accept. He has been assured that the
major part OF the big vote for Mayor
Sam Jones Of Toledo last year can be
captured now if he will come, and such
an opportunity Is regarded as too good
to lose. Mr.. Bryan has had a good,
long rest, and he is not content to allow
the campaign to proceed without his ac-
tive participation. He wants to do
some taking and he wants to do the most
OF it in that section where the real bat
tleground is believed to be, in the mid
die western states. He has communi-
Gated his views quite recently to the ma
tional committee and now that Chair
man Jones is back at the holm he ex-
poets that some definite plans for the
campaign will be announced. He has
his correspondence well in hand and his
speeches we'll advanced, and he wants

Democrat, Mayor Jones OF Toledo will

William j. Bryan though he has not yet
made any speeches for the democratic
candidate.
Running as an independent candidate
for governor last fall, the mayor defeated
John R. Mclean by 100000 votes, and
with his influence thrown to the demo-
cratic ticket, it is believed the united
force OF the two elements will go long
way toward bringing Ohio into the
democratic column.

About The Big Dam.

Chicago, July "a A-Chicago engineers
are planning to build for the city water
supply OF Denver, Colo, gigantic dam
22O feet in height, as high as a nineteen
story building, that will hold back a
greater depth OF water than any other
artificial barrier in the world The
structure will be built by the Denver
Union Water company at cost Of $780,
600 or 100000.
The gigantic wall will be Of either con-
crete or masonry, and will extend across
the steep canon OF the South Platte riv-
or, about fifty miles from Denver.
Enough water will be impounded, ae-
cording to the engineers calculations, to
supply Denver with water for two years.
The breast of the dam will be 1850 feet
above Denver, and ten feet above the
water surface. The cross section shows
sixteen feet width at the top, and 1866
feet at the base. The biggest dam in
the world is at Furens, France. and
holds back 1eO-foot wall Of water.
The officers of the Denver Union Wa
ter company say tudt tuoJ unNo ho ioco
how this statement from Chicago origin
ated, as they have not contemplated
building any other dam than the one on
which they have been at work for years
They have no engineers in Chicago, and
the work of building the dam is under
the sole direction Of the company's chief
engineer.
The reservoir which the water COM
pany is building is on the south fork Of
the South Platte river at it's junction
with Goose creek. During the high
water this season not very much work
has been done, but work will soon be re-
sumed and the compilation OF the dam
will be carried forward as rapidly as
possible. The dam will be about 900
feet high, and the waters Impounded
will be sufficient to supply sity OF 500,-
