A FEW OBSERVATIONS SUG-
GESTED BY BRYAN'S TALK

The Democratic friends of Mr.. Bry-
on could not have asked for larger
and more representative crowd than
that which greeted their twice de-
feated candidate on last Tuesday
night. The crowd was large. but
the enthusiasm was lacking. 1t was
plain to see that more than half of
the audience was not in sympathy
with what was being said.
Bryan could not forego his old
habit of drawing a dark picture of
what this country is coming to before
the Republican party gets through
with the money question. Some of
Us remember the dark, dismal pictures
Mr.. Bryan drew for US in 'ss which
he said would come to pass if Nc
Kinley were elected president A
great many people have lost faith in
MI bFNhn as q prophet.
After the speech was over a gentle
man of African descent remarked that
Mr.. Bryan was deeply worried about
the government of the Filipinos
bat that neither he nor his party had
much TO say about the 1000. 600
blacks in the South who under the
rule of the Democratic party are alb
solutely disfranchised and so far as
having a voice in their own government
are no better off than the poorest
surfs in the worst monarchy of Europe.
BE suggested that if Mr.. Bryan de- |
sired to do the humsitarian act to-
ward the blacks that he might find |
good material to work on much nearer |
home than the PHILIPPINES Islands. |
And the man is right. We have
thirteen states where negro has no
more to say about the government
/
than has horse or pig. These |
states are all Democratic. II the
Democrats believe so much in their
text "a government by the consent
of the governed" they might consult
some of their colored brothers in |
the South about home rule.
Mr.. Bryan is the only man we
have yet heard depreciste President
Roosevelt's efforts to settle the coal
strike. He went on to say that if
Democrat had been president no strike
would have occurred. This is pro-
badly the truest statement he made for
there are many who still believe that
If Mr.. Bryan had by some evil chance
been elected president there would

Mr.. Bryan accuses the Republican
party of saying the money question
is dead. Those who read will re-
member that we have some mighty
good Democratic authority for this
statement The fact is the Demo-
cratic party is no more in favor of
''the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver" than the Republican party.
The leaders of the Maj ional Demo-
cratic party will not even endorse
the Kansas City platform again. 1t is
also an undisputed fact that to the
Peoples party belongs all the honor
for the strong fight for silver in the
past and the only hope the people
have for silver legislation is through
the Peoples party.
Mr.. Bryan showed mighty poor
taste, at least, in always referring to

It seems TO US that a man as big as
Bryan ought to be broad enough to

and parties.

WAVE TWENTY FEET HIGH.
LOss of Life and Property from a Water
spout in the Kentucky Hills South
of Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, May 21.-Shortly after
IL o'clock yesterday this locality was
stricken by terrific wind and rain
storm, causing the loss of half a
dozen lives and injuring many. The
fury of the storm continued only
half an hour, but in that time over
$1,OOO,O00 of damage was done in the
business section of Cincinnati and as
much more in other parts of the city
and suburbs.
While storm damages are reported
throughout Kentucky, the worst
point seems to have been in. Coving-
ton. The water rolled down the hills
in a wave of 20 feet deep in places
and was about 100 yards wide. The
frame house of Edward WohrIey was
carried for a distance of over four
blocks and finally was dashed to
pieces in the Covington ball grounds.

ThIrtyN Nine Dealers In Kansas City VIII
Save 100000 Year by Eliminating

Kansas City, Mo-, May 22.-Thirty-
nine wholesale potato dealers of
Kansas City have formed a stock
company with $4,000 capital. Here
after they will make all their pur-
chases through the company. They
claim that the expenses of handling
the potatoes consumed in Kansas
City will be reduced about 100000
annually by their organization and
that the consumers will be a con-
siderable gamer thereby. They say
that about 1000 car loads are
handled here each year. In the past
they have bought through brokers,
who charged a commission of $50
per car. There will be no brokerage
charges in the future; and $4,000
will be saved by avoiding them.

the number of perhaps so.
Fraterville mine is the oldest mine
in the Coal Creek district, having
been opened in 1870. It is fully three
miles from the opening of the mine
to the point where the men were at
work. They had not been at work
long before the terrible explosion
occurred. There was a fearful roar
and then flames shot from the en-
trance and the air shafts. AS soon
as order could be brought out of
chaos two rescuing parties were
started in, one at the main entrance,
the other through Thistle mine,
which adjoins and in which no men
were at work. The Thistle party was
unable to make any Roadway, as the
gas stifed the workers. The Frater-
vile party went fully two miles I'M

slate was encountered. At this bar
rier men worked like demons, hop
ing against hope that those beyond

TRIBUTE TO MISSIONARIES.
President Roosevelt Addressed the Pres
byterIan General Assembly In New
York City Tuesday Night

New York, May 21.-President
Roosevelt addressed the Presbyter-
ian general assembly here tonight in
advocacy of the missionary cause. He
paid a high tribute to the pioneer
missionaries of this land who he
said, "bore the burden and heat of
the day, tOiling obscurely and dying
unknown that we might come into
glorious heritage. We need display
but scant patience with those who,
sitting at ease in their own homes,
delight to exercise a censoriOus part
of judgment upon their brethren
who, whatever their shortening,
are doing strong mems work as they
bring the light of civilization into the
worlds dark places. The criticism
of those who live softly, remote from
the strife, is of little value; but it
would be difficult to oveF-estimate the
value of the missionary work of
those who go out to share the
hardship, and while sharing it, to
wage war against the myriad forms
of brutality, It is such missionary
work which prevents the pioneers
from sinking perilously near the
level of the savagery against which
they contend. Without it the con-
quest of this continent would have
had little but an animal side. With
out it the pioneers fierce and rude
virtues and somber faults would have
been left unIit by the flame of pure
and loving aspiration

PANIC AT FoRT-DR-FRANcE.
Repeated Volcanic Disturbances and Tidal

Castries, st. Lucia, May 22.-Re-
ports received here confirm the dis
patches announcing that panic pre-
walls at Fort-de-France, Martinique.
The town is covered with ashes,
stones were falling and tidal wave
added to the terror of the population,
which was flying to the hills Three
hundred refugees have just arrived
here and thousands have embarked
for the neighboring islands.
Yesterdays eruption from Mount
Pelee was violent in the extreme.
Colossal columns of volcanic matter
we're elected from the volcano which
rained huge, red hot boulders, many
feet in diameter on the ruins of st.
Pierre and the country near it, from
an enormous elevation and with
fearful velocity. The volcanic
clouds advanced until they reached
Fort-de-France. The spectacle was
appalling and beyond description.
The whole population of Fort-de
France was thrown into a frenzy of
panic, during which soldiers, police,
men and women, all terrified, frantic,
weeping and praying, rushed through
the streets, while overhead the glow
ing, fiery clouds rolled relentless1y
and rained down stones, still hot,
amid the swirling ashes.

LATE REPORTS FROM GoLIAD.
Ninety Fight Persons Killed and a Hun
dred and Three Injured by
the Tornado

Houston, Tex, May 2O.-The latest
reports from Goliad state that 9s
persons were killed and 1O3 injured
by the tornado which passed over
that city Sunday afternoon. The
property loss will probably reach
100000. The storm swept the city
from end to end and demolished $50
stores and residences. Houses col
lapsed as if built of cardboard, cover
ing the dead and injured with debris,
which necessarily made the work
of rescue slow. People focked to the
town from all of the surrounding
country. Many of them had relatives
in the city. The work of rescue was
carried on all yesterday and the fu-
nerals of several of the victims took
place in the afternoon. The supply
of collins has been replenished from
other towns and a large force of la
borers is still at work digging graves
for many of the victims.

ESaSse POinte.

Fort de France, May 21.-Yesterday
morning, at $3.50, a thick, heavy
cloud, lit up by flashes of lightning
and the rising sun, rose from Mont
Pelee. The people of Fort de France
at once became panic-stricken and
in scant attire rushed excitedly
through the streets of the town.
Stones from the volcano as big as
hazelnuts fell in the streets. Many
of the inhabitants hurriedIy en-.
parked on the vessels in the harbor
and it was with difficulty that they
were eventually treasured. At seven
o'clock, however, the excitement was
over and the people became calm.
A severe inundatiOn at Basse
Pointe, on the northern coast of this
island, at two o'clock yesterday
morning, swept away 20 houses and
so other buildings were damaged by
the flowing mud which has swept
over the valley of the river. There
was no further loss of life, Basse
Pointe having been abandoned sew
