Feast Fit For Kings,
In Bryan's Honor:
Xew Yoitic, Oct. 1G. Tho dinner ten
dered Mr. Bryan at the Hoffman House at
5 :H0 o'clock this afternoon, was not held in
tho Moorish room, as at first intended, but
in tho Saloon, Louis Quinze. Fifty covers
were laid, an increase from what was first
intended.- The rooms wero beautifully deco
rated with laurel leaves, palms and ever
greens. Col. Bryan's portrait framed in a
silk American flag, was just behind the
chair ret rved for Mayor Van "Wyck, the
presiding olllcer. It was discovered, during
the afternoon, that the uecorator hau, in ar-
ranxrmir tho portrait ot uoi. iiryan, enter-
twined the Filipino und American colors
about the picture. This was believed to bo
an error, and at dinner time the colors of
guinaldo were conspicuonsjVttbsent.
Fifteen persons sat at the table reservd for
the guest of honor and more distinguished
persons. The rcmammg.guests at at smaller
tobies. All the 'tables were decorated with
flowers, roses predominating.
The service was the best" the house could
provide, linens of the most costly sort, tho
heaviest cut glass and the best of china.
Although Col. Bryan did not drink his wine,
glasses were provided just the same as for
tho other gueste.
The much disputed cost of tho dinner
was settled by the Hoffman IIouso managcJ
; inoit,wiyb8aJd that the cost was $12. per

TRAHPS, THEN,
riie two thhiKB that now worry and have
worried the democrats arc tho improved timqs
and tho loot of the school lunu. This lost
thorn in democratic llesh we pass over just
now, in order to take up tho prosperity
issue and look it square in the taco.
Durinir the latter years ot Llevelamrs ua
ministration there were estimated to he
4,000,000 tramps, composed of boys, men,
women and children, ilut most ot tlieso
tramps were young men.
How let our democratic brethren come
right up this proposition and take a square
look at at.
Did all these men, women and children
tramp for fun? Did they freeze, sicken and
die ot cold and hunger'iust tor tun r i-hd
tlio father nut tho last penny that ho had
into his wife's hand, that she and her chili
might not starve, and then hit tho tics or
railroad tracks for the city in search of work
and hnd none, liint lor lunr
Did -1,000,000 people tramp? Yes, and
many oi them perished. -Many a young
man or boy who had been brought up m a
nice Christian home, was forced to tramp
and hunt for work or stay at home and
starvo in the midst of poverty. Ho wouldn't
do it, but tramped, and while he wandered
pinched, starved, spit upon, up and down
tho earth, many a sad-hearted mother sat
at her hearthstone alone, amid tho squalor of
poverty, and as she thought ol other days
when her husband and boys wero with her,
sho sang in a minor strain, as the tears rolled
down her cheeks, ""Where is my wandering
boy to-night?"
All tins tor democratic days, vu lor
Cleveland days. And shall we see -1,000,000
of our people again sent out on tho road to
starvo and dio just for fun? Just to have
Bryan elected? Just to have 1(5 to 1? Just
to make ridiculous asses of ourselves on
"militarism" and "imperialism" "Wolf,

A recent parliamentary return gives
some startling figures In relation to
Scotch deer forests. The returns re
late to the six highland crottlng coun
ties unly the counties ot Argyll, In
verness, Ross and Cromarty, Suther
land, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland.
In' the Orkney and Shetland islands
thero are no deer forests, so we have
practically to deal with tour comities.
In these tour counties there aro no
less than 2,287,297, or more than two
millions and a quarter, acres glveji to
the preservation ot deer. Foresting
has proceeded apace during rent
years. Since 18S3 nearly 000,000 acres
have been added to the forest acre
age. The whole area of Scotland in
acreage Is about 19,500,000; it follows
that, reckoning the forests In four
counties atone, one acre In every eight
and a halt Is1 kept wast for tho rear
ing of deer. In order that on a tew
days in the year a tew person may
enjoy the'kllllng pt a certain number
of thess beautiful animals this vast
area Is, tor the raoit part, sealed
ip'jlnst tho intrusion of man. No one
but the owner and his friends and
keepers may set foot on mountain or
gleu. The total area under tillage In
Scotland Is about 3,500.000. If.there
fore, allowance is miu'e for the for
ests In other highland comities, It
seems, probable that the total acreage
ot deor forest Is not far short ot that
under crop, It Is some consolation to
learn, that In tin four counties in
question the forests uro assessed to
rates at over 100,000. Certainly (ho
