THE CAMPAIGN OF 1908.
Prediction: Tariff the Issue and Bryan the
Democratic Candidate.

To TIE EDITOR OF TIE sUN-Sir! With
no little amusement ] read the letter OF
"Jefersonian" In The 4 OF August -
lamenting the fact that the Democratic party
is inextricably bound up with the personal
destiny Of that "egotistic autocrat" william
Jennings Bryan.
It Ia an excellent precept capable OF general
application thar you should be ready with
your rehousing scheme before you demolish
your slums. Will "Jeffersonian" produce his
substitute? There are, I suppose. 7.0o0.OOO
Democrptio souls In the country. 30 he has
plenty to choose from.
Nothing In politics Ia quite 30 easy and
nothing ID quite so cheap as the attempt to
lay all the blame on the standar bearer who
has borne the burden and heat Of the fray
and has been unable TO lead his party to
victory.

are oficered by croaking Cessandras. JEFF

BIBLE STORY CONFIRMED.
Inscriptions Telling of
"Seven lean Years. Found,

London, Sept. ga sensation has been
caused among Biblical students by the
discovery, by Brugsch Bey, the Egyptol-
ogist. Of a monumental inscription telling
how the Nile failed to rise for seven
years in succession about LOO years be-
fore the Christian era. A long and ter
Tible famine was the result.
=. c. 100 is the date recognized as the
beginning Of the seven lean years" de-
scribed in the Book Of Genesis, and theo-
logians are interested in the confirmation
which the discovery gives, in hard facts
to the Bible story.
The account of the failure Of the Nile
and the continuous famine throughout
the land was told in a number of ex-
traordlnary hieroglyphics, which Brugsch
Bey. fortunately, has been able to de-
cipher.
