STEVENSON IN MICHIGAN.
he Talks About the Boer Question at Grand
Rapids.
(By the Associated Press.)

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. 22.-Adlai
E. Stevenson addressed an open air meet
ing here today. A noticeable feature of
his speech here was the emphasis which
he placed upon the Boer ques
ton. Mr.. Stevenson took the ground that
President Mckinley would not have ex-
ceeded the bonds of international diplo-
macy by intervening in behalf of the
Beers, any more than Cleveland did by the
stand he took in behalf of Venezuela,
and he expressed the opinion that the
effect upon England would have been the
same and that there would have been no
South African war.

Bitters she is wonderfully improved

The Next House Of Representatives.

Both party campaign man.
agements are making close
calculations in regard to the
next House of Representatives
at Washington, but there is
little brae ging on either side.
The estimates show, however,
that the more gains the Dem
ocrats shall make the larger
will be the majority in the
House against the free silver
projecto or any other possible
attempt to tamper with the
currency laws; since, as has
been seen, the Democratic
gains if made at all must
come from districts in which
there is little or no free silver
sentiment. In fact there has
been no free silver majority in
a Democratic House since the
House elected in 1875, and
that majority which passed
the Bland-Allison Dollar Act
was largely made up of Repub-'
licans of the type Of William
Mckinley. A Democratic
House was elected in 1878, in
1882, in 1884, in 1885, in 1890
and in 1892; and in all OF them
there was a decided majority
against free coinage at l6 to ],
or any other ratio. 1t is this
consideration which causes so
little public concern over the
cries of the alarmists OF the
danger of a Democratic
House.
But a Democratic House
would put a curb bit in the
mouths of the Imperialists
and battle the steamship snb-
sidy schemes, with other raids
on the Treasury; which is a
good deal more to the purpose.
