BRYAl'S MANY SIDED
HOPES AND FEARS.
His Expectations Based on Hopes that
Others Will Forget.

Bryan argues that the Constitution ex-
tends In full by its own force to every
foot Of land under the American flag.
He hopes that the American people won't
find out before November that the United
States courts, from the lowest to the
highest, have decided by overwhelming
and irresistible decisions. that he is
wrong.
He is running on q platform declaring
for the fraud Of free silver. He hopes
that the gold Democrats who have re-
turned to the Democratic party on the
issue Of Imperialism will not cease to
believe In his readiness to betray it.
He Is running on platform on which
Imperialism is said to be the paramount
issue. He hopes that the silver men
won't take this portion of the platform
seriously.
He is running as a Democrat. He
hopes the Popuhsts won't lay it up
against him.
He is running as Populist. He hopes
the Democrats will forget it.
He is running as silver Republican.
He hopes that the silver Republicans,
mainly men Of the West, won't give him
up because Of their belief in expansion.
He is running as the avowed friend Of
Aguinaldo He hopes that this won't
drive the American votes against him.
So every Democratic hope Of 1900 has
error or humbug back Of 1t.

HARD TIMES ITEMS
NEEDED BY BRYAN.
Adversely Of Others Will Be Welcome
News to Democrats.

"Wanted-Hard times items" Is a
"Help Wanted" ad Bryan ought to put
in the newspapers to aid him in his la
borious search for instances Of indus
trial and commercial distress. Probably
nothing would more please him just now
than to hear Of workingmen in the coun-
try whose dinner pals are not full.
In his speech in Milwaukee he gloated
over the fact that dock man in New
Haven had discharged some employees,
that pig iron production is less now than
at the high point Of last year, and that
Massachusetts cotton mill men are said
to be thinking Of reducing wages.
After exploiting on these items, he said
exultingly: "Even the prosperity that
the Republican party has boosted Of has
not reached all the people, and even that
which we have is on the decline"
The reason Bryan is so anxious to
know Of misfortunes Detailing working
men Is because he fears that they will
perversely consider the maintenance Of
their present prosperity to be the "para-
mount" issue with them instead Of sim-
perialism." II some great calamity could
only happen to the workingmen between
now and election time it would perhaps
make 1t really sound plausible to say
that there Is no prosperity now; there
fore maintenance Of prosperity is not the
issue, so you can vote for me and Agui-
naldo."

4 CHALLENGE TO
SENATOR PETTlGREW.
A Cowboy Resents the destinations
Made Against Col. Roosevelt.

Sioux Falls, s. D., is Senator Petit.
Crews home. and the Senator said In q
recent speech there that Col. Roosevelt
did not lead his regiment at San Juan
Hill, but was six miles In the rear. AT
the recent Roosevelt meeting in the town
many Of Col; Roosevelt's old regiment
came to greet him, some Of them trav-
cling quite distance, and one rough
rider came $50 miles. This particular
cowboy heard of Senator Pettigrew's ut.
terance for the FIRST time while in Sioux
Falls, and mounting his horse he would
ride to street corner and issue this chal.
lenge:
Ladies and Gentlemen have heard
that there are people In this town who
say Col. Roosevelt was away in the rear
at San Juan and did not lead his regi-
ment in the charge that was made that
day. / was in that regiment and follow
ed Col. Roosevelt up that hill. Ny cap
tain was killed and several Of my COM
pany. / saw that fight. was in it.
Whoever says that Col. Roosevelt did not
lead his regiment in that charge Is liar,
a scoundrel, coward and dare not tell
me so to my face"
Then he would wait a minute, ride to
the next block and repeat the same chal-
lenge.
The incident will keep Senator Petit
grew quiet for awhile. He may be kept
busy in explaining what he meant.

the Treasury Department. he viii at once
discover that the present advantage
which IL accruing to him comes absolute
ly directly from the tariff law now ON the
statute books Of the United States. And.
then, IL he desires old times, with old
prices and old short days of employment,
he had better vote for William Jennings
Bryan.
But IL the laboring man wants a con-
tinuation of the present prosperity of the
United States, he certainly cannot, with
out inconsistency, vote for Bryan. An
other view Of 1t. Let the laboring man
take the present price Of his labor and
take the present prices Of all the things
he buys upon which his family is sub
sisted and supported and educated, and
then take the price Of his labor Of 1896
and the prices existing then, he win dis
cover. without any hesitation Of intellect,
that present conditions are far better
than old conditions, that, waving the lit
tie increase of cost Of living. the balance
sheet shows favorably to him. No man
can deny that and there Is no man in the
United States who has done more to
break down the interests Of labor by pro-
noting and cultivating unfair and unjust
competition than has William ]. Bryan,
of Nebraska. G. II. GROSVENOR.

THIRTY TONS OF PENNIES
SAVED BY CHILDREN

Chicago's Penny Savings Society has
only been established for a few years,
but its deposits have increased as fol-
lows:
Year ending June 80, 1898. SIS, 140
Year ending June 80, 1899. 49,. 1890
Year ending June 80, 1900. $50. 71,793
William G. HOLSTER, who is acting
president Of the Chicago Penny Savings
Society, says that it is operated entirely
on a philanthropic basis and supported
by voluntary contributions. There are
only two salaried officers, young ladies,
at the Office in the Schiller building.
This system is in operation only In half
the schools in Chicago, yet the amount
Of money deposited by the children last
year averaged 30 cents for every child
in the Chicago school district, and 60
cents per capita for all the children in
the schools In which the Penny Savings
Society Is operated.
The weight of last years savings was
thirty tons Of American pennies, an enor-
nous mass Of money for the little ones to
put by in the banks within one year.
It will be noticed that the increase be-
tween the amount deposited in 1893 and
1899 was 10 per cent. But between 1890
and the year just ended the increase in
the amount of pennies deposited was con-
siderably more than 100 per cent.
The children would certainly not be
able to save their pennies IL their par
ents did not have the money to give
them, and the exhibit made by the Chi
cago Penny Savings Society is certain
ly straw showing that the people Of
Chicago have experienced more and more
good times and prosperity during the Re
publican administration Of President Nc
Kinley.

ANOTHER PARAMOUNT ISSUE
Mistaken.


He said: "You shall not toss
Mankind upon a cross
OF shining gold"
''Nor press his brow with thorns,
Nor tread upon his corns
When he is old"
He said: "No fires will burn,
No wheels, no spindles turn,
Without my hand
Is at the nations helm;
Dictator Of the realm
Chief Of the band"
He said "the metal white
Is strictly in the fight
Il lugged it inn.
We're on free silver bent.
Without the worlds consent
And it will win."
The voters heard him shout,
Then straightway went about
To give him fits;
They said "we want no stuff
Half money and half bluff.
A dollar worth four bits"
It took his breath away
When the people had their say
In NOV.
But he's got his second wind,
Thinks he'll not again be skinned;
Wait and see.

The cotton consumption In the United
States in 1894 was 1891 pounds for ev-
cry man, woman and child. Good times
brought by the Mckinley administration
have raised the per capita consumption
to 2714 pounds. The people dress bet
ter and buy more articles made from cot
ton than ever before in the history Of
the country.

Prosperity for wheat Growers.

When the Democrats were experiment.
ing with free trade in the United States
the consumption Of wheat was 3.41 BUSH
els per capita. That was in 1894. In
1899, under the Mckinley administration,
the consumption was sos bushels per
capita. This is ample demonstration to
the farmer as to how prosperous manu-
featuring interests bring prosperity to the
wheat grower.

THE NEW COAL FIELD.
Shaft is Down and a Town is
Soon to Be Built.

The rapid development of towns in
Oklahoma during it's palmiest days
will hardly equal the building of
new town soon to be built in Bluff
Creek, Monroe county, by the Con-
solidation Coal Company of Mucha-
KNOCK. The contract has been let
to Henry tWetherell of this city for
the construction of 100 new houses
there and the work is to be pushed
with all possible speed. The town
has been plated and is situated on a
beautiful site, on the side of hill
sloping gently down to the railroad
which will be built along the bank of
the ravine. The stakes are all set
and rock and sand are being deliv-
cred for the foundations. The houses
were designed by Frank Wetherell of
this city and will be among the best
and most comfortable miners houses
ever bnilt in Iowa. Each hous q will
contain five rooms, three down stairs
and two up, will be lined, plastered
and painted throughout. Each house
will have lot about 100 feet square
and the several rows will be enclosed
| by fences. A store building of mod
ern appointment and depot will
also be built during the summer, and
as soon as the houses are occupied,
church buildings and school houses
will be added.
In short, the town is now we'll
rooted and it's growth will be almost
magical, All arrangements for it are
complete except its name. The good
suggestion has been made that it be
called Buxton" in honor of j. E.
Buxton, who was connected withthe
Consolidation Coal Company for 20
years, and also of B. g. Buxton, I'M
der whose management the new coal
field is being developed.
Shaft No. 10, located near the new
town, is almost ready for operation
and as soon as the Northwestern
railroad is completed to it coal will
begin to roll out on large scale.
The work of grading for the new
railroad has been in progress about
one week, the start being made near
Pekay. Ties and rails are being
stored at Belle PLANE, and as soon
as the grades and bridges are ready
a large force of men will go to work
laying track. By August first it is
expected everything will be COM
pleted and in fine running order.
The opening up Of this.new town
does not mean that Muchakinock
will be abandoned. There is suffi-
cient coal in the old field to last two
or three years, but gradually the in
terests of the company will shift to
the west, and the new town will be-
come headquarters.
