Ostrich Spoiled His Speech.

Anybody who heard Senator Allon
of Nebraska, deliver his famous If.
teen-hour speech against the bill for
the repeal Of the Sherman silver bill
would hardly believe that anything
coud stump him. Yet there is an ex-
perience in the senator's life which
shows that, after all, he is like unto
other mortals, says the Washington
Post. II was campaigning in my
state once" said the senator, when !
had occasion to speak at a fair
grounds. The grand stand was full
and the occasion seemed to be full OF
promise for an orator overfiowing as
l was with political gospel Just as !
had commenced a man brought out an
ostrich hitched to sulky. don't
know whether you ever saw the trot-
ting ostrich in the east, but out west
he was a great attraction. Well, as
soon as that bird began to run around
the track 1 wasn't in it. The ostrich
monopolized the attention Of every
man, woman and child. When the
bird stopped the people listened to me,
but when he threw out his long legs
again there was roar of laughter ana
applause which drowned every word I
uttered. Finally, 1 gave 1t up. let
the trotting ostrich have everything
his own way"

ABBOTT ON HARVEY'S BOOK

After four years, during which pc
riod he has at all times been laboring
with voice and pen and organizing
ability to fulfill the mission Of '96, MIR.
Harvey, author of Coins Financial
School, comes before the people on
the eve of the new presidential cam
Daign with a new book-in the familiar
style of his former one, but treating
of the later, though not more import
ant, issues which have sprung up since
the time that Mr.. Bryan was defrauded
of his election. Coin on Money,
Trusts and Imperialism" treats of at
least one mperialism-which
had not raised its threatening head
in '96. During that struggle, too, the
trusts, though already offering a GER
tain menace to the well-being of the
people, had not developed into such
startling proportions as they now pre-
sent. To these issues Coin, in his new
series of lectures, devotes much of his
attention, but the old issue-the issue
that will arise perennially until out of
the hands of favored class shall be
taken the priceless privilege of issuing
and controlling the money of the peo-
ple-engages his attention in the open
ing chapters of the book. | do not
think that Mr.. Harvey has ever done
anything SO well as his dissection OF
the privileges enjoyed and the further
ones demanded by the national bank
ers. In clear and simple stiEe. usine

Value of Pictures.

Pictures do more toward furnishing
a house and determining the status OF
Its inmates than anything else II you
have suspicion that you are not wise
IN choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
not be questioned, says the Pittsbure
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nee
essarily poor, but a poor picture lie
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference is a quality with which
every one is not blessed. A good plan
Is to purchase copies of famous pic
lures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good. In franz
ing pictures remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
pictures, white frames for water col.
ors, and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.

as heretofore the dialogue form, he

as heretofore the dialogue form, he
discusses the demand of the banking
class that it shall be permitted to con-
troll the money Of the people, and
shows conclusively by figures, the au-
thenticity of which cannot be disputed
how enormous are the profits they now
derive and hope to continue to draw
from their monopoly. The profit Of
the dealer in money is the 'unearned
increment" no less certainly than is
the profit of the speculator in land who
has contributed nothing to the produc-
tive forces of the nation. Mr.. Harvey
demonstrates this, though he does not
use this particular comparison, and l
believe that his logic will prove as ir-
REPUTABLE as his language is simple and
direct.
In my opinion, this new book of Mr.,
Harvey's-notably better than Coins
Financial School"--by its thoroughly
human treatment of the questions Of
the campaign, deserves and will attain
a popularity and a circulation quite
commensurate with his earlier one.
1t is, like that one, cleverly illustrated
by drawings which enforce the teach
ings of the text, and is given certain
up-to-date and living interest by the
employment of the names of we'll
known men in the course of the dis
cussions which it recounts. 1t is a
book that will be read by the millions.
and will be most potent weapon in
the hands of the people for their de-
fense against privileged classes.

Chief of the Press Bureau of the Demo-
cratic National Committee.

"Those who studied the trust ques-
tion in 1896 foresaw that an adminis-
trstion placed in power by the aid OF
great monopolies could not be relied
upon to destroy the trusts, but many
who could not be convinced by argu-
ment are now being convinced by ths
rapid growth and increased audacity
of private monopolies. w. ]. Bryan.

EDITORIAL ETCHINGS.

While it would be very beautiful
thing to give everything to God, still
there are some things which may belong
to Caesar without offense to the Gre
ator. Indeed, it was Christ himself
who said: Render, therefore, to
Caesar the things that are Caesars,
and unto God the things that are
Gods" Senator Beveridge, in his re-
markable conversion of the Ameri-
can republic into an apostolic propa-
ganda, does not seem able to draw
the line in his anxiety to curry favor
with his masters, the trusts, banks and
the Republican administration.
Is it not a suspicious circumstance
that all of the trusts, banks, money
lenders, etc., are demanding Mckin-
ley's reelection, and are contributing
heavily to the Republican campaign
fund? Some say We cannot get along
without the banks and great moneyed
institutions, and therefore feel it
obligatory to stand in with them. That
is true enough when one wants to bor-
row money, but the difficulty Is, the
great majority want to earn it, but
cannot because of the boarding Of the
money for speculation.
We have gone so deep into the

THE MARKETS.


New York, June 26.--The bull contn-
gent in stocks failed to realize their
expectations today, though the changes
at the close show net gains for the
majority of stocks. Final prices, how
ever, were considerable below the best
and the tone of the market during the
latter part of the day was decidedly
unsettled and spotty, in spite of the
sustaining influence of notably
strength in some stocks. The first
rally in the market followed the sharp
break in the wheat market and was
mCst noticeable in the southwestern
grangors, especially Burlington and
Atchison preferred. The continued
weakness in Baltimore and Ohio and
signs of heaviness in Pennsylvania dis
couraged the buying of the railroad
stocks and they were inclined to droop
during the latter part of the day. The
sustaining force during that period
was the advance in Brooklyn Transit
and the steel stocks. In the former
the bears showed symptoms of alarm,
recalling their painful experiences
growing cut of the similar weakness
in Third avenue ana other traction
stock. There was on news to account
for the strength i'm the steel stocks,
but they were absorbed with consider
able confidence and advanced easily
on small transactions. Their gains at
one time ran from l to 3A. Appar-
emily the opinoin is gaining force that
the decline in price of iron and it's
products has almost run it's course.
A further rise in the price of lead fol-
lowing the recovery of yesterday, and
the strength of silver demand from
foreign countries had a tonic effect on
al the metal markets. Total sales to-
day, 367, 800 shares.
Some of the speculative bonds show
sharp recoVeries, but the market gem
orally was irregular. Total sales par
value, $1,O7O,0OO. United States 3's cou-
pons advanced u in the bid price.
