The Demented woman.

The Fort Worth Register of this
morning contains the following:
Early yesterday morning the po-
lice received a phone message from
the Santa Fe station saying that
there was a demented woman there
who did not know where she was
going, nor even know what her
name was. The patrol wagon
with one of the officers was there
fore sent after her and brought
her to the city hall. Later she
was taken to the county authorities
where she was CON mitted under a
charge of lunacy. She gave her
name as Lucinda Caraway.
The Santa Fe people say she
came from Ardmore and was ac-
companied by no one. She had
as baggage a small telescope grip,
which had a broken handle, tied
with string.
She appeared to be 25 or 80
years of age, and was very plainly
dressed"

Their dinner pals have been filed
with little else than air; many of the
mills have been closed and are closed
now on the eve of the election; failures
have been many; strikes are prevalent,
and crime general. With these din
ner pals hanging month after month
in the unfinished shanties such as
many of the victims of the present
administration have been forced to
dwell in, surely a promise which
would mean a repetition of all THESE

that the dinner pail will contain some
thing to eat. The fact will not be
used as an idle election boast either.
1t will be an accomplishment which

be under no obligations to trusts or

A Purely Republican I.sue.

Chicago Record.
The edict has come out of republic
can national headquarters that the
democrats must not be permitted to
releCate the free silver issue to the
rear. For time the republican pol
iticians believed that Bryan would
force that issue to the front III 1900,
and as long as they entertained that
belief their arguments were directed
TO proving that free silver was a
dead issue. Even if Bryan were to
be elected in 1900, they pointed out,
the United States senate would be
unchaugeably a gold standard body.
This representation was relied on to
convince free silver voters that they
would gain nothing by supporting
BRYAN. But it has come about that
BRYAN is more than willing that sill
yer shall take a subordinate position
in the national canvass. Because of
this republicans are now endeavoring
to force the silver question to the
front, thereby alarming the conserva-
tive men of the coun try into voting
the repu blican ticket.
In accordance with this policy an
effort is now being made that the
present United States senate may
presently drift into the control
of the advocates of free silver coin
age. A republican authority, reason
ing along this line, points out that 80
gold" senator's may be counted as
assured during the next four years.
OF these 35 are already elected aud
four are to be chosen from states that
are certain to elect republican lepis-
latures. The same calculation gives
to the democra 20 holdover senators
aud 20 10 be elected from assured
democratic states. Those states
which are called doubtful by this
pessimistic republican are the follow

shall speak in favor of every one of
them during the campaign 1t is not
half-hesrted support Bryan and
Stevenson will receive from me. l
believe the safety of our repu bic
lies in their election in November.
The people are not going to be fooled
with q lot of small questions, and
they will not stop for the side show,
but the main tent will be their stop
ping place, and am satisfied when
they have finished with this campaign
the present administration in Wash
ington will be at the end of its rope
and Bryan will sit in the White House
for the next four years at least"
