OF spectacles on top of the bell box of the
instrument so that the steel bows touched
against the binding posts to which the
outside wires are fastened, thus cutting
out both transmitter and receiver by
closing the circuit before it reached them.

Mr.. Bryan on New York Yellow Journal.

VIM. j. Bryan spoke in Cooper Union,
New York city recently, under the aus
pieces of the Progressive Democratic
league In the course of his address he
told what he thought of a certain class
of metropolitan newspapers-and there
are not many decent men of any political
party who will disagree with his esti-
mate:
1T is a calamity that so many of our
great metropolitan papers are owned by
somebody we do not know. Many of
them are not exploited as newspaper en-
terprises, but as an adjunct to exploit
other enterprises. One of the calamities
of the day is that some, not all, of the
owners of our great metropolitan dailie5
employ brilliant editors to chloroform
their readers while they pick the pockets
Of their readers 1t has come to be
recognized that many of the great dailies,
not ALL are for sale to the highest bidder.
SO universal is the recognition of this
fact that it helps a man to have their
opposition, when their support would
damn him among honest people"
