TELE-T TALE TACTICS.

The CONSERVATION with which
Republicans view the encroach-
ment of Mr.. Bryan upon their
preserves is but poorly conceal
ed though Il desperate effort TO
appear uncOncerned is made by
them. But the announcements
made by several owners OF large
factories and other concerns that
they will close down in the event
of Bryan's election, are 50 EVIL
IDENTIFY inspired in Republican III
terests that they not only should
fail of their object, but should
arou Sc resentment on the part
of all independent voters. 1t Is
obviously done confluence votes
and for that alone, oeCduoe l
stands to reason that large
mill-owners will not abandon
their properties no matter VIII
is elected. They could not attor'
to do so for years at a time.
The scheme bears on its face
party trick and should be resen,
ed by every voter who dare ca
his soul, i e vote, his own. If h
dare not, he may well know wha
to expect in future in case of Re
publican success for these mani

Ifvou we're asked sucha ques-
ion, reader, what would be your
answer? Think seriously OF the
meaning Of the question and IN
what your answer would result,
It seems that the tendency OF

national concern and there IS

ment of Codntry Life" existing
at Washington, deputed to in
ouire into the matter for the pur'
pose of securing general lntOr-
nation on the reasons for this
tendency and the best means TO
overcome it.
The writer has been sent a set
of blanks to fill out, embodylng
the most searching questions on
everything pertaining to condl-

absurd. Competency alone

rest on youth alone. A young
man may have the qualifications

true of an older man. Any gen

TUCSON TO HAVE AN
OBSERVATORY
STATION
GOVERNMENT EXPECTED TO PUT
UP A BUILDING EAST OF THE
CITY FOR TAKING MAGNETIC
OBSERVATIONS.

TUCSON, October l0.-Tucson has
been recommended to the government as
the most advantageous location in the
southwest for the establishment of a
magnetic observatory.
This information was received here
today in a private letter. The recon-
mendation was made by Captain Parish
Of the Coast and Geodetic Survey ser.
vice, who spent several weeks in the
southwest seeking suitable site for
station. He was in Tucson several days
last week.
The proposed station, it is estimated
will involve an outlay of about $4,000
and it is believed the recommends
tions will be favorably acted upon.
The most probable site for the station
will be on a tract of land about sever
miles east of Tucson. The site vii
be donated to tn government and i
will be sufficiently removed so that TIN
delicate instruments used in the oh
servatory will not be affected by an,
of the artificial electrical currents II

there probably looking for the nomina-
ton. gave his assent to it!' added the
speaker in earnest condemnation.
No Cause for Surprise.
s'why. my friends, he cried, "when
I look at the record of the republican
party for these twenty years, | am moi
surprised at the growth of populism-
they have not seen the democratic par

"He was the first judge speaking tn
English language to so interpret the lay
in those memorable injunction eases
and every labor organization knows II

meut by injunction against the work

"Why does not the almighty Roose.

Mr.. Smith read the following tele-
gram from William Jennings Bryan,
asking him to speak in the national

him that his presence was deemed OF
the utmost importance:
