A press dispatch from Lincoln, Nebraska, quotes some of Mr. Bryan's friends as saying that he "Is still In the ring;" that ho will try to remain a factor in the Democratic party, and that no reorganization of the tangled remnants can bo effected without consulting him. We had supposed that he had received sufficient intimation that the people did not want him, but ii appears that the drubbing has not been sufficient to knock all the sophistry out of him. Come to think about even his address to the country after the election shows that he still maintains a forlorn grasp on his sophistical idols. In that address he made use of the following language: "The prosperity argument was probably the most potent one used by the Republicans. They compared present conditions with the panic times of *93 to '96, and this argument had weight with those who did not stop to consider the reasons for the change." How are we to take Mr. Bryan, anyhow? During the campaign he maintained with all the force and eloquence that was in him that there was no such thlner as "nrosnerlty"?that it was mere ly a political fiction of Republican Ingenuity. But in the above quotation ho admits, if he docs anything, that there was some ground for the claim, but that the Republicans were not solely responsible for the good times. Then let us go back four years ago and listen to the prophet of calamity, set upon the pinnacle of his own selfsufficiency, outlining four years of the direst disasters. How many cogs did his perspicacity slip when he said in 1SD6: "If McKInlcy and the Republican party are successful and put in power for the next four years, wages will be decreased, hard times will come upon us, mortgages upon our homes will be foreclosed by the rttaney lenders, shops and factories will close. "We will export no goods, and we will Import from foreign lands all the goods we use. Thus will ruin, want and misery be with us." All of this sounds very much like his assaults upon the trusts. If there was a combination whose stockholders were Republican*, It was a trust. In case the stockholders were Democrats It was a combination of capital for legitimate business pursuits. "What are we to do to please Mr. Bryan? If the disasters he predicted had come in the past four years he undoubtedly would have blamed the Republicans. As prosperity came In their stead he refuses the Republicans credit for the prosperous condition of affairs. Is It any wonder that the country repudiated such a man? Some Census Facts. According to the census Just taken New York heads the list of states making the largest Increase In population, followed by Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Masachusetts and Ohio, In the order named, west Virginia Is number twenty-three In the Hat, about halfway. Nevada mades a deplorable showing at the foot, with a losa of 3,427 In population. Attention has been called to the curious fact that the center of population in the United States, which the enumeration of 1890 established near the village of Greensburg, In southern Indiana, will not be moved further to the west as the result of the twelfth census. At every preceding census, from the first one In 1790, the centre of population has uniformly advanced still further to the westward. The ccntre of population In 17'JO was on the eastern shore of Maryland, about opposite Baltimore. Its line of march westward has been a'most a direct one, Its present position near Greensburg being almost exactly due west from the point at which It began the evolution. Its variation?* above and below the lino never having been ua much as fifty miles. For the flrst ulxty ye^rs of the last century the tondency ws-fl slightly to the southward, but since then tho movement has been distinctly to ihe north. The present census shows, however, that to the cast of a line drawn north and south through Greennburg, for the first time In tho history of the country, the population has gained rapidly e-s In the newer western sections. The Spirit of Accommodation. While the movement started sometime ago for the revision of the Presbyterian creod rooms destined to meet with failure. the number In favor of the modification of Westminster Confession Is strong enough to give very little comfort to thos* ^ho arc standing by the early traditions of the church. That predestination and forordlnatlon are repulsive to a largo number of tho com* munlcants of the great Presbyterian denomination eitimol he-denied, but the defenders of the faith have attempted ' to placate their opposition by stating that these tenets have virtually become obsolete. The powerful Methodist Episcopal denomination has Just gone through such a trial in combatting the liberal element In the church which attempt to expunge from the Discipline the inhibitions against card playing, dancing and theatre-going. There was quite a fight over these matters In the general con- I ferenco -which met In Chicago, last May, but that bo^y refused to remove the ancient landmarks of the fathers. Nevertheless there was a tacit acknowl-1 edgmentthat the inhibitions were practically dead4etters In the law of the church, and 'that really theso things might safely be le<ft to the "court of I conscience." ''And that is what, we pre- j sume, the Presbyterians -will do; those I who belleverln predestination can do so witnout prejudice to those wfto ao not, and the brethron in both churches will continue to dwell together in aB much unity as they can And lying around loose. , \ What Wyoming Women Did. Women have exercised the right of suffrage in1 ."Wyoming since 1870, but they took advantage of their privilege In the recent election to a greater extent than ever before, and thereby hangs a tale. There Is a cheap saying about women talking too much, but this time it Is a man who did the talking, to his undoing, and the women did the voting for revenge. It has been said that the women controlled the vote of Wyoming, and it appears that the results of November 8, substantiate this claim. They polled 7,000 out of the total of 23,000 cast In that state-la?t Tuesday, an-1 the Republican party was the beneficiary for the extraordinary activity on their part, and this Is how it happened. ' It Is alleged that John Claries Thompson, Democratic candidate for Congress, made the statement in a letter to the Antl-Suffrago Association of New York, I that the women vote was the easiest thing to get, the easiest thing to keep and the easiest thing to manipulate of any element in politics. This statement, which appeared in a circular Issued by tke New York association, caused intense Indignation among the I women of Wyoming. So bitter was this feeling against Thompson that the women turned out In large numbers on ! election day, with the result that Mondeil, Thompson'* opponent, received the largest plurality .ever given a candidate In Wyoming and ran-ahead of the elec- I toral ticket over 800 votes. The feeling against Thompson extended to the entire Democratic ticket, and fully twothirds of the women vote was cast for | McKinley and Mondell. Mr. Thompson was sadly Indiscreet in his remarks, as he, no doubt, now | realizes. He could hardly have aroused greater animosity by stating that there wasn't a well-dressed -woman in Wyom- | Ing. After awhile the so-callcd wits who make game of female foibles will realize that.woman's Intellect can be Interested In something higher than as-i certainlng whether her hat is on straight. TV,r. o TT -rwr m iiu uyiiumiuiciii. >>i nun. ?iin\-u | Miller, of Jackson county, by Governor Atkinson, to the juilgeship of the sixth Judicial circuit, is an honor conferred upon a man who is not only worthy to wear the ermine, but who, by renron of long practice at the bar and high standing among the members of the'profession, ns well aa ills thorough knowledge of the law,- la fitted for the position he has attained. Jud?e .Miller served two terms in Congress from the Fourth district and was known as a bard working and conscientious member. He wns also the Republican candidate for Judge of the supreme court in the campaign of 1S92,' but, with the other candidates on the ticket, wns beaten through Democratic trickery. The Intelligencer predicts for Judge Miller a successful career on the bench. The monthly statement of the exports of domestic products, lsued by the bureau of statistics, shows that during October the exports were as follows. comparisons being made with October. 1899: Breadstuffs, $21,913,832; decreft.se, $2,128,000. Cattle and hop-., $2,892,351; Increase $652,000. Provisions, $13,034,320; decrease. $714,000. Cotton. $60,391?107; Increase, $32,043,000. Mineral ells, $6,129,079; decrease, $463,000. Total for the month, $105,260,6S9; net Increase, $29,l 398,994. For the last ten months the total was $655,918,873, an Increase as i compared with the corresponding period in 1SS9 of $82,055,000. The Republican majorities of 1896 and 1900 were due to special circumstances, which we need not hero rjlscuss, but some of which are quite well understood.?Louisville Courier-Journal. We are quite willing to agree with Mr. Watterson that this "special circumstances" were readily recognized the country over, without considering the stolen electoral vote of Kentucky.

LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 13.?W. J. Bryan has received an offer of $:'0,000 a year to become the funny mun on a South Dakota paper, but will not accept. In an interview to-day, Mr. Bryan said: "It would 111 become me to try at this time to make people laugh. My mission does not lie-in that direction. I have made no detlnlte plans for the future; all 1 can say now Is that the world needn't expect to get cheered up by me." LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 13.?W. J. Bryan makes the positive statement that there Is no truth whatever In the report that he is going to move to ohlawassee county, Michigan, and open a massage parlor. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 13.?W. J. Bryan denies the report that he has acceptor! ?r> nff(*r nf ilflflfln n'mnnth In nnf nu an advertising agent for a Kansas City gluehouse. He. says he does not wish, at this time, to make a statement as to whether, he will stick to It or not, but the glue story, he declares, Is absolutely unfounded. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 13.-W. J. Bryan this evening gave out the following statement: "I am not going to become a Presbyterian minister. I have not at the present time any serious intention of adopting auctioneering as a profession. I am not preparing to go on the vaudeville stage. I will not at srssent consider, any dime museum offtrs. I still reserve the right to act as a background for .pictures of James Creelman.

Dahionega Nugget: A bit of interesting church information reached us from Dawson county last Saturday, being related to us by a reliable gentleman, which Is as follows: A few weeks ago, at Gothian church, in that county, two of Its members were dismissed because they had been making liquor contrary to the rules of the church and the laws of the United States, the evidence being taken from two boys who were not members of that nor any other church. This very much displeased those belonging to the blockading department of the church, who all attended, services on the 20th, and being in the majority turned out fifteen of the oldest members of the church for contempt, claiming that the proceedings of the preceding meeting were illegal, because the testimony was not gospel evidence. This ends the matter here below, and those interested will have to endure the grievances, until the case Is taken to the supreme court above. He Had to Pay.

Try SILENCE OF DEATH Pervades Many Villages .of China* j Scenes Horrible Beyond Power of Description. i LONDON, Nov. 13.?The Globe this afternoon publishes a letter from a Belgian gentleman who has been traveling j to Pckln via the Trans-Siberian railroad. He describes, under date of September 6, what he saw in the Amur river. His account surpasses in horror those previously published. "The scenes I have witnessed during the three days since the steamer left | Blagovctchensk," he says, "are horrible beyond the powers of description. It is | the closing tableau of a fearful human tragedy. Two thousand were deliberately drowned at Morxo, two thousand at Rabe and eight thousand around Blagovetchensk, a total of twelve thousand corpses qncumberlng the river, ! among which were thousands of wor?on nrt'l "Navigation was all but Impossible. | Last week a boat had to plough her way through a tangled mangled mass of corpses lashed together by their long hair. The banks were literally covered with corpses. In the curves of tho stream were dark, putrid, smelling masses of human flesh and bone, surging and swaying In the steamer's wake and wash. The captain vainly ordered full speed ahead. The sight and smell will be ever with us. ' "From Blngovctchensk to Algun, forty-flve kilometres, numerous villages studded the bank, with a thriving, Industrious population of over 100,000. That of Algun was 20,000. No one will ever know the number of those who perished by shot, sword and stream. Not a village Is left. The silence of death was around us, the smoking ruins of Algun on the right, with brokendown, crumbling walls and shattered, roofless houses." SHOWER BATHS For Hello Girls?A Well-Meaning Chief Has Installed Them in Paris. New York Sun: In Paris they have Just placed shower baths of the latest style In the telephone exchanges for the use of the girl operators. M. Miller-; ana, tno chief of the postofllce department, did it. He didn't think the girls needed washing, but noticed that some of them looked pale and harassed, and thought that an occasional cold shower might do them good. Now when central is slow to respond to a call she explains that she was Just toning up in the bath room. There is no prospect of any innovation of that kind in the New York exchanges. The girls might resont anything like that, the manager explained over the telephone. A worried subscriber who overheard inquiries on the subject expressed the opinion that showed baths might be a good thing, but tho New York telephone girls were too modest to be invigorated that way. Central herself said that she wasn't allowed to talk over tho telephone, except on telephone business, and shower baths weren't telephone business, and never would be, there. Haul of Fame. Chicago Tribune: The driver of the patrol wagon looked at the procession that filed out of the gambling house and into his green and gold carryall, conveyed by the attentive police. There were two former champion pucillsts. four bruisers who nsnlr<?d to ho champions, one pugilistic manager and several other gentlemen Illustrious in the sporting world. "Talk about your haul of fame!" he said, as drove away with his load. Democratic Reorganization. Washington Star: A plan Is talked of by which William C.

BEFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR, Very few men fit their souls. There never was a real fat woman and a real thin woman who loved each other. Women go by opposites. It's generally one that's the hardest to marry oft that has twins. The only thing that makes more noise than two women at a reception Is three women at a pink tea. Every woman has an idea that If It wasn't for her, her husband wouldn't have any kind of social standing In the town. No woman is satisfied with a man unless he can get up some fuss or something that will make It seem romantic when she docs marry him.
