Bryan'S Bugle Blast

The Bryan revolution is the most
notable personal victory since the re-
turn OF Napoleon TO Elba. Six years
ago ne was banished politically by the
''allies" as dangerous blatherskite.
On the 18th Of September he will land
in New York, the most popular man in
America and president select OF the
United States.
He wins not by being shrewd, but by
being right. and true to himself. He
wears his honors, as he wore the weeds
ofhis defeat-like cSlm, strong, hon.
est man.
He shows no great concern about
the presidency, but he takes no chanc-
e5 on his own untarnlshed name.
HE has become g conservative, .
cries the Bryan boomer to catch the
reactionary Democrats. But the wire
brings the quick correction-"I am as
radical as ever"
"He has abandoned bimetalIsrh, >
shouts the gold Democrat. But like g
flash he, answers-"I have not chang
ed my mind about bimetalism, but it Il
no longer an ISSUE"

Ed. c. V. News:
l would like TO ask Mr.. Robt. Giles
pie, Falls Mills. through your paper.
why, if he takes such an interest i'm the
wife and children of McNew, who
killed Chas Brown, and his big, gen
erous (9 heart was made 10 ache al
most TO the breaking point for her sad
condition, that he- must needs bestir
himself in her behalf, so much SO AZ to
haye funds made up for her and her

himself worked up TO the proper pitch
about five years ago, when his nephew
Den Gillespie, shot and killed one
VIM. White, and his widow and five
little helpless girls were sent off at
once 10 the poor house. that refuge
being the place for such as she.
Now, Mr. Gillespie, why did you not
use some of your superfiuoIs energy
getting up money wherewith to keep
this poor lone woman from the indigni-
ty of going with her babies TO place
which you consider too degrading for
the wife OF McNew TO enter? Perhaps
it would be well for Mr. Gillespie TO
divide the money he has gotten be-
tween the widow, Mrs. White, and the
wife, Mis-. McNew.

Streets Being Cleaned.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
The ladies on Mechanics Avenue, re-
quests the Honorable Council to allow
the town COWS to run on the avenue
for ten days, hoping they will eat the
weeds down, as COWS are less objec-
tionable than the weeds.
We'have the pleasure of informing
the ladies of Tazewell Avenue, and all
others interested that the streets Of
the town are being cleaned up. A force
s OF hands will continue the work until
all the streets are put in a nice, clean
condition. Main street already looks
as clean as a penny. The merchants
have been warned, under penalty,
against throwing paper and rubbish on
the streets, and a cleaner town will be
the result Mr.. Geo. w. ST. Clair, Chair
man OF the Street Committee, has
charge OF the work, which is a guaran-
tee that it will be done well. The
filthy back yards, to which attention
was called in this paper recently, will
be attended, also. A clean town, ike q
clean house, is luxury as well as 8
necessity.

Lost His Fine Trotter.
BUston & Sons

Capt. Shaffer, of Tip Top, was in to
see US a few days ago, and was feeling
badly over the loss OF his fine young
horse. The animal, either in fright or
play, ran over precipicei.- .he pasture,
few nights ago, and broke his back.
He was splendid young horse, well
bred, and gave promise OF fine speed.
No wonder Mr.. Shaffer's face was not
so bright as it usually is.
