sPINBTER OR NATION.

The Sacramento Record. Union calls
upon the women of our beloved land
to swear off an old. bad habit, and re-
solve that hereafter in singing their
names they will write the prefix which
indicates whether they are married or
single, thus saving men a world of per-
plexity and many unhappy blunders.
What, that paper asks, r men CORE
spondents to do when receiving letters
from women they do not know in ad-
dressing replies? And this is an every
day happening. especially in newspa-
per offices. The short way out of the
trouble is for Women to 81 sign their
letters as 10 indicate whether they are
still free and independent ,spinsters
or are proud matrons and wives.

the speech was devoted to the trust ques-
ton. On this subject, Mr.. Bryan said:
1.-The Republican party does not discuss
the trust question. When the Republican
party brags about existing conditions,
just remember that the trust condition is
the main condition that it brags about.
The Republican party has been in power
for nearly four years and yet more trusts
have been organized in the last three and
a half years than were organized in all the
previous history of the United States.
(Applause).
ANA yet, when you talk to the people
ABOUT trusts, the only answer the Repub-
Means make is there is great prosperity,
but it is always somewhere else, in some
other county.
II you will take Dun's report you will
lind that every month in 1900 shows more
failures than the same month the year be-
fore, and you will find factories are being
closed and wages reduced"
He declared that all the talk about the
enormous prosperity of the country is not
true. Even if true there were greater
questions than a full dinner pail. This ar
gument of the hog trough was a Islander
on Workingmen, who he believed coule
see far enough ahead to see what mill
tarism meant for them. AS a remedy fol
the trusts he would squeeze the water
out and put on the free list articles mo-
nopolzed by trusts.

conscious condition and appears to nave
sustained a fracture of the skull. The
Pride, favorite for the race, won by a
head from Elfin CONG, the well backed
