An Apish Fable With a Waspish
Moral.

Exchange: The ancient anthropold
ape heaved a sigh OF inexpressible
depth-the long, sobblng sigh OF one
who plainly sees inevitable wrctched-
ness before him-as he aroused himself
from his rcvcrie. Is,
II must do It. There is no escape"
he muttered. resolutely. though the big
tears swelling from his mournful eyes
proclaimed how much his decision cost
him. Farewell, Happy freedom! We'll
come, ye bonds Of conventionalism!

scene of peace and comfort, "get YOUR

"Political" Business.

Passenger officials of railroads oper-
atins in the central west, generally
speaking, are disappointed with the
financial showing thus far made in con-
nection with the running Of special
trains for political rallies. Unless ex-
isting conditions materially change for
the better between now and election
day they say that many of the roads
dealing directly with communities that
are looked upon MS political hot-beds
will find themselves In debt to them
selves. so far as the special campaign
business is concerned.
The roads In Indiana. which has been
one of the principal stump!ng grounds
for both the Democratic and Republi-
can campaigners and which has been
the scene OF more political demonstra-
tons than any other state in the union.
possibly excepting New York, are the
most disappointed.
They had made elaborate prepara-
tons to care for the multitudes that
were expected to swarm to the rallies
from points away from the rallying
grounds, setting aside coaches that
might have been used Tor other eScu--
sion purposes and Increasing the num-
Der of agents.
II is said that the Roosevelt and the
big Democratic celebration In For,
Wayne short time ago combined did
not attract more than 1000 persons
from outside points. The roads had
prepared to handle between 10000 aad
1900 persons.

THE RAILROADS,

Already a dozen or more of America S
leading railroads are laying claims to
the highest honors to be bestowed by
the jury Of awards of the transporta-
ton department OF the Pnn-American
exposition. These roads are devoting
considerable time. energy and expense
to the preparation of their exhibits,
which are expected to surpass those
shown by the railroads at the big fair
In this city seven years ago.
Realizing that the receipt Of the jury
of awards first honors will mean one Of
the greatest advertisements Imaginable,
the roads purpose to leave nothing un-
done towards making the best show
ings possible. Even the smaller roads,
which make no pretensions Of compet-
Ing on equal lines with the larger car
riers, are planning to spread" them
selves.
Work on the machinery and trans
portation building at the exposition
grounds Is being carried on rapidly.
The building will be five hundred feet
long and three hundred and fifty feet
wide, with 4 central court of one hun
dred and seventy-five feet long and one
hundred feet wide. 1t Is located on the
west side OF the main group of exhibit
tion halls, opposite the court Of foun-
tains, which Is expected to be the most
popular place on the grounds. It Is be-
Ing built In the type of the Spanish rem
aissance, modified to suit the conditions
of the exposition. 1t Is to be done" In
reds and yelloWS OF light tintS.

Mr. Coclzran,s Lapse.

Fouryears ago Dourke Cochran assailcd
Bryan for his dishonesty with regard to
his financial theories. Last night he
was booked TO appear at the
Grand Opera House, but failed
to show up, to defend Bryan
70. his 'dishonorablc policy With regard
to our obligations towards the Philip
pines. Mr.. Cochran is great enter
tainer, and lawyer as he can argue
either for the prosecution or the de-
tense. The Register In 1896 accused
him OF accepting 4 retaining fee from
the Republicans. The Intclligencer
makes no such accusation. 1t was con-
lecture on the part OF the Register four
years ago. and It would be impertinence
on our part to say that Mr.. Cochran is
any more conscientious this year than
he was in 1896.
Mr.. Cochran is devoting himself

Ing that attenuated spook OF the
'aunties"-imperiall He docs not re-
fer TO the real menace that confron;s
the country to-day just as 1t did when
he denounced 1t four years ago-the
man that hides behind the mask of i'm
perialism, free silver Bryan. The argu-
ments that Mr.. Cochran advances
are best answered by his own
words-a condemnation Of Organism
which he uttered In this city four years
ago this month. They are as true now
as they were then. In 1896 he said:
THE WILD ATTEMPT TO DIVIDE
THE INDUSTRIOUS PEOPLE OF THIS
COUNTRY INTO CLASSES HOSTILE

not regret this campaign. / am glad this
Issue has risen. The time has come when
the citizens OF this country Will show their
capacity for self-government so that no
man will again venture to challenge 1t. BY
defeating with crushing mpjorities The
forces OF disorder. they will prove that the
men who have led the world In the path
way of progress will always be the viS!lant
guardians OF liberty and order.
THEY WILL FOREVER JEAIOCSLY
GUARD AND TRIM THE LAMP OF
FREEDOM. THEY WILL EVER RE-
LENTLESSLY EXTINGUISH UNDER
THEIR HEELS THE RED TORCH OF
POPUL1STlC DESTRUCTION.

By Way OF Explanation.

The Associated Prezs, In its report of
Bryan's meeting ct Princeton Junction,
Thursday. very innocen,ly says:
Included In the audience were from q
thousand 10 fifteen hundrad OF the gtu-
cents OF Princeton Coilege, which instltu-
ton Is located three miles distant from
tho Junction. The meeting was one OF
the most orderly that Mr.. Bryan has had
In his whole campaign. There was not
an interruption. from beginning TO end.
Thereby hangs n tale. The perfect
quietude OF a body Of over 4 thousand
students under even ordinary c!rcum-
stances would be looked upon as omin-
Gus. and susceptible OF explanation.
Ard. SO. on this Important occasion
there was very good reason why they
gave Mr.. Bryan 4 respectful hearing.
To avoid the accusation of coming to
hear Bryan for the simple purpose OF
!nterruptng him they sent the follow
lng written message to him before the
meeting:
Trenton. y. j.:
THE stduents of Princeton University
request you to answer the following two
questions:
"First--Will you. II elected President,

mcnt In gold or In silver? Do You mp
prove OF the disfranchiscment OF the ne.
grocs Of North Carolina By the Democrats
OF that state? These questions can Dt
answered in single word. or at most, q
single sentence.
"Thc Republican club wishes to assurs
you that the meeting will be orderly, and
requests brief answer to its questions.

lions? He did not. Not Single word
or "a single sentence" did he vouchsatt
In answer to the gentlemanly intcrroga-
tories. And that was why, us the Asso-
cIated Press says, the meeting was on,

Mr.. Bryan's silence was pondcOus.

cone of the glories of the Republic
is that American labor is the best
paid in the world, and this should be
maintained If possible. The govern
ment, at least, should not do any,
thing that would have n tendency to
reduce wages. We should continue,
SO far rs We consistently can, to do
everything to keep up the price of
labor, and resisteverything that even
looks towards q reduction in wages.
Good wages makes good, happy and
contented citizens. Wages, and high
wages, is the best method found yet
for the distribution Of wealth. Ninety
per cent of the cost of nearly every
product is labor; therefore, the better
wages are, the more money is paid
out and distributed; and general bus
mess is better. We are paying in
wages about seven thousand five hun
dred million dollars per. annum, or
twenty millions daily."-senator FL
!-ins' speech in the United States
senate, Feb. IL, 1900, on the finance
bill.

a RemIniscence Of ,ee.

In the issue OF the Register, Of octo-
Der 3, 1886, there appeared communica-
tion from a correspondent. at Grafton,
to the following effect:
81 have a relative who is Republl-
can. but isn't working much at IT. this
year, and he has been quietly giving
me some Information. He told me Just
a few days ago that Chairman DAWSON
had made complete canvass of West
Virginia and found 1t hopelessly Demo-
cratic. You can depend on this being
thoroughly reliable and coming direct
from Mr.. Dawson"
or course Mr. Dawson found nothing
OF the kind. The Register is claiming
West Virginia this year with the same
confidence It did in 1856. with this dif-
ference. that now 1t is all bluff on its
part.
