The sometimes despised silver dollar

In the opinion of the New York World
the paramount issue has simmered down
to who will Ret the most votes.
Whether or not the number of ex
presldents in the United States is to be
increased will be determined two weeks
from today.
Every political party in Chicago has
now declared for municipal ownership of
street railways. There could be no surer
way to get it.
The "middle of the readers" failed to

but there are still a number of candi

The increase of 101 per cent, in the

The Chicago Timcs-Korald has set

popular majority which President Mc

The question of which party proposed

her swethfart duke has not been set

determined, preparations for the cere

Chairman Jones of the Democratic
rational committee Jumps Into the ring
with a claim that hi3 party will carry
California. The appearance of the Chi

There is nothing better calculated to stir
the voters of California than that same
Chinese question.
The death of John Sherman ends a
notable public career. While his ability
as a statesman was universally acknowl
edged, he was subjected to much se
vere criticism during his lifetime by
those who did net agree with htm po
litically. P-ublic men are rarely esti
mated at their true value by either
friend or foe during their lifetime. Mr.
Sherman perhaps was no exception to
the rules.
Chicago News: It is alleged that Mr.
Ettvensoa was a copperhead, a friend of
the confederacy and a foe to the union.
This is highly important if true. If Mr.
Fievenson ia secretly disloyal and he
should ba elected vice president, who
knows but he might some time wear an
evening suit at 5:30 p. m. or otherwise
ebuse the vast powers of his office in
order to humiliate and imperil the coun
try? But it should be remembered that
Mr. Stevenson was vice president for
four years and he never once wore his
trousers in his boots or sought in any
other way to overthrow the palladium of
our liberties.

TOY KANSAS AND 1904.
, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Nebraska, according to the expressions
of some of its papers, appears to be sur
prised that it is not mentioned con
spicuously in connection with the semi
centennial celebration which is to be
held In Kansas In 1904, commemorating
the organization of Kansas as a terri
tory. Both Kansas and Nebraska were
organized as territories by the same act,
that which was signed by President
Tierce on May 30, 1S54. In fact, Nebras
. ka. Is dealt with In that act before Kan
sas is mentioned. The whole region, in
deed, comprised in the territories of
Kansas and Nebraska was originally in
tended to be organized as the territory
of Nebraska, without any mention of
Kansas as a political or geographical
designation.
It would seem from these circum
stances, if the matter is viewed super
ficially, that there would be as much
reason to have a semi-centennial or a
centennial of the territorial act of 1S34
held in Nebraska as in Kansas, or mere
reason. But in this as in many other
cases the superficial view would be de
lusive. The fight between the North and
the South to gain possession of the
region organized by the act of May 30
of that year was in Kansas almost en
tirely. The South had no hope of cap
turing Nebraska. Its leaders saw that
slavery could not be planted in the ter
ritory of Nebraska in sufficient measure
and maintained there to give any chance
to that Institution to hold its ground
when the state government displaced the
territorial regime. Nebraska was prac
tically given up to the free state men
by the South from the start.
In Kansas, however, the fight was
perious and protracted. Kansas' location
to the south of Nebraska gave a better
chance for the planting of slavery in It
than was offered in the other territory.
It could be reached quicker from the
slave states than could Nebraska. On
Kansas' eastern border was a slave
state, Missouri. These were decisive con
siderations with the slavery element, and
incited a long and fierce contest for the
possession of Kansas, which ended with
the triumph at the free state side
through its preponderance In population
and resources, but Kansas, with its free
state constitution, was not admitted to
the union until after the withdrawal of
many of the South's representatives
from the senate In January, 1861, on
the secession of their states. The semi
centennial celebration of the creation of
the territories of Kansas and Nebraska
will be an interesting affair, in which
the entire United States will have great
concern, as It hastened the civil war of
lSGl-'65, but the event to be commemo
rated has a far closer relation to the
history of Kansas than it does to that
of Nebraska, and, very properly, the
principal observance of the event will
be in Kansaa
GLOBE SIGHTS.
From the Atchison Globe.
When a man insists on "explaining" a
thing, it Is a confession that it worries
him.
Of course women are not babyish, but
a sealskin coat will square almost any
thing. It is now positively known, after years
of experimenting, that "wishing" does
no good.
A great many people "make fun of
you." Don't give them any more occa
sion than you can helix
People agree on only one thing con
cerning the election: they regret that it
is not over, and out of the way.
In a town where people have every
thing "charged," it is hard to pay cash
for theater tickets and railroad fare.
We all know that some people are so
worthless that they need an old fash
ioned whipping, but no one dares say
so.
A man will do anything In politics:
an Atchison politician recently started
a story that his best friend was crazy,
to satisfy a bum.
Most clever young people make a
specialty of Imitating elocutionists.
Elocutionists, have more fun made of
them than any other class of people.
Among the funny things women do,

sofa and put a candle with a red shaiie
on a table near by, and call It an oriental
corner.

It Is related of an Atchison bride
groom that a burglar recently appeared
at his house, whereupon the bridegroom
jumped out of the window, and ran,
leaving his bride to protect the house.

BRESCPS FUTURE.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
Bresci has been sentenced to imprison
ment for life. A fantastic description
of what he is likely to suffer having been
circulated in the English press, in which
it was represented that although Italy
was the first great power to abolish cap
ital punishment, she resorts to methods
of the Middle Ages in her treatment of
life prisoners, I took the trouble to make
a personal investigation, and gathered
the following facts, the correctness of
which I can guarantee:
Italy has two prisons in which her life
prisoners are confined, that of Santo Ste
fano, not far from Rome, and Porto
longone, in the Island of Elba. For the
first seven years the prisoner is confined
in a separate cell and given work that
does not require the use of iron. In
the years that follow he is admitted to
work with other prisoners, but not al
lowed to speak. In the first seven years
the rule is that he may not see any one
while in health, although as a matter
of custom his relatives are allowed to
visit him for half an hour once a year.
After the expiry of seven years they are
permitted to see him once in every six
months. His food consists of 34 pounds
of macaroni and 1 pound 6 ounces of
bread on weekdays, and soup and a piece
of meat on Sundays; wine is given only
three or four times a year, on special
days. In the first period the condemned
man may spend a half-penny a day in
whatever he wishes, and in the years
following 214d. The cell is 7 feet by
13 feet, and 10 feet in height. The air
comes from a window so constructed
that nothing but the sky is visible; it has
a heavy, iron-bound door inside and iron
gates behind it; it contains a bed with
wire springs and a mattress of a vege
table material, all of which is attached
by a chain to the wall during the day,
that the prisoner may not lie down; also
there are toilet necessities, and he is
allowed to have a brush and comb.
Each day he is taken out alone for a
walk in specially isolated courts; the
minimum time for exercise is one hour,
although this is extended if the health of
the prisoner requires it. The ordinary
punishments are: Isolation with bread
and water, the straightjacket and the
dark cell with irons.
DOESN'T PAY ITS WAY.
Gen. Otis Reports on the Government
of Manila.
Washington, Oct. 23. In the report of
Major General Otis as governor general
of the Philippines the following concern
ing the government of the city of Ma
nila was made public today:
"The money expended to police and
Improve the city of Manila, to take the
necessary repairs on roads and bridges,
to place government buildings which
were dilapitated in a proper state of pre
servation, to stamp out the infectious
diseases of smallpox and bubonic plague,
to maintain a large native police bat
talion numbering 250 men, together with
the money required to defray the ordi
nary incidental expenses,has been great
er by about one-half than the city's col
lected receipts. What those receipts did
not supply has been taken from the gen
eral fund, as the expenditures were con
sidered to be imperative.
"The liquor traffic always has been
extensive, especially in the matter of In
toxicating native drinks. In reducing
the number of licenses which Spain
granted freely, the natives complained
grievously that they were deprived of
the privileges which Spain bestowed.
Notwithstanding these complaints they
were greatly diminished, but could not
be entirely withheld nor could the traf
fic be destroyed by any means within
our power. Experience led to the belief
that it could be controlled through care
ful manipulation under a stringent li
cense law."
An crder Issued by the provost mar
shal of Manila is also given, showing
the restrictions that have been placed
upon the saloons and giving the license
fees which are charged. Following this
ord-r the report continues:
"The restraining, influences have re
sulted In placing the liquor traffic under
the control of the police and their offi
cers, and have been attended by the re
forms anticipated and promised. I
doubt if there is anywhere any more
quiet and orderly city than Manila has
been for the past year, and this not
withstanding its great mass of floating
population of diver3 nationalities and
the dense ignorance of a portion of its
inhabitants, or a city in which proper
punishment for crime is more swift or
sure."
DANIELS MATINEE
One Will Be Giren Tomorrow,
if He Consents.
Manager L. M. Crawford this after
noon telegraphed to Frank Daniels re
questing that he give a matinee perform
ance in Topeka tomorrow. Mr. Crawford
says that he is not able to supply the
demand for tickets and unless a matinee
is given a large number of people will
be deprived of seeing the little comedian.
Manager Crawford also announces
that no one will be seated after the cur
tain rises at 8:15. People should be in
their seats by 8:05 in order to prevent
confusion.
FIGURES ON CINCINNATI.
They Indicate the Republicans Are
Not Sure of Ohio.
Cincinnati, O., Oct. 23. Tf an averaee
is struck between the claims made at
Ohio Democratic and Republican head
quarters, the state will give McKinley
about 50,000 to 60,000 plurality Nov. 6.
P. W. Durr, state Republican commit
teeman, claims the state by 10:00,
while all Democrats connected with the
state committee headquarters assert
that the result was so close so close
that they figure they have a chance to
win. Those who have watched events,
but who are not violent partisans, con
cede the state to McKinley by about 40,
OflO. A peculiar thing about the respec
tive claims is the figures given on this
(Hamilton) county, in which Cincinnati
is situated. In 1896 with a state ma
jority of 49,000, there was a majority in
Hamilton county of 19.000. This year,
while claiming the state by 100,000, the
Republicans only claim 7,000 to 7.500 for
Hamilton county. At the ratio of 1896
this, it is clearly seen, will result In a
Democratic victory.

BRYAN AT FREDERICK.
Speaks to a Large Crowd in the
Rain.
Frederick, Md., Oct. 23 "You will hear
people say that I, if elected, will not en
force the law. That Is not the danger.
They know that If I am ejected I will
put the same kind of striped clothes on
a big thief that are put on. a little one."
This declaration was made by Mr.
Bryan in his speech In this city today.
He came in on a special train from
Washington, which brought a number
of people from the capital city and he
found a very large crowd awaiting him
here.
Rain fell constantly during his meet
ing. Mr. Bryan was introduced by L. Victor
Baughman, whose home is at this place
and Col. Baughman as well as Mr. Bryan
was most cordially greeted. Mr. Bryan
was well along in his speech when he
made the declaration above quoted.
"And that is the reason why the great
law breakers are against us In this cam
paign," he continued. "The Democratic
party is not a sectional party.
"When you build a government upon
the Declaration of Independence and ad
minister it according to the ideas of Jef
ferson, it is as broad and as long as the
nation. If we were seeking some class
legislation, which would give to the few
an advantage over the many we would
be a sectional party, because we would
only appeal to those specially benefited
by the legislation promised, but we are
not trying to get your hands Into some
body else's pockets.
"We are trying to keep other people's
hands out of your pockets. And when
a party seeks nothing but justice and
promises nothing but equal rights, you
can appeal to all people everwhere, who
are seeking to make government a bless
ing to all and not merely an advantage
to the few. Partiality in government, fa
voritism in government these have been
the curses of government in the past
and today the greatest fault that can be
found with this or any other govern
ment, is that instead of being adminis
tered" as a government of the people and
by the people and for the people, it Is
administered in the Interest of a few
who grow rich by using the instrumen
talities of government against the great
majority.
"I charge against the Republican par
ty today that in all its policies, it is ig
noring the producer of wealth and dis
regarding the rights of the plain people
In its effort to give some a great oppor
tunity to exploit the rest."
NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE
Actively Planning to Forestall Play
ers' Organization.
New York, Oct. 23. Two plans of ac
tion, it is understood, are being consid
ered by the National League magnates
to forestall the organization which was
formed in Baltimore lately under the ti
tle of the National Association. One of
these plans Is to re-establish the 12 club
circuit, the other ia to join with the
American League in a scheme so that
the organization can extend Its circuit
to the east.
Should the first proposition be taken
up Washington and Baltimore will be
embraced in the circuit in the east and
eDtroit and Cleveland in the west. It Is
rumored that if the second proposition
is deemed feasible that is a coalition
with the American League, the league
will be composed of teams in Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton In the east, and Cleveland, Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Louis in the west. A
further feature of this scheme would b
that the American League scheme
would be so arranged as to have games
on National League grounds in the east
ern cities and in St. Louis and Cleve
land while the clubs of the larger or
ganization were' traveling. The Nation
al League to carry out this would pro
vide the grounds in the places not spec
ified ,
The whole arrangement, the magnates
are said to think, would discourage the
National association in that it would In
sure continuous baseball In the cities,
which it is expected will have associa
tion franchises.
REBELS ARE ACTIVE.
Foreign Consuls in China Receive
Letters of Warnine.
Hong Kong, Oct. 23. The situation at
Canton Is comparatively quiet.
It is reported that the consuls have
received letters warning them of danger.
Refugees from Hui Chow say the reb
els are welcomed everywhere. They
take nothing without payment and are
treated like guests instead of enemies.
Their leaders are supposed to number
ten, each commanding a separate band.
The one operating in the How Lung
hinterland is a mere stripling, but is
everywhere successful. He is reported
to have defeated a large body of impe
ial troops, killing a hundred of the Chi
nese soldiers.
The surnames of four of the rebel
chiefs are Fong, Ho, Ching, and Chan.

THE WORK IN CHINA.
Christian Societies Will Continue to
Send Missionaries to the Heathen.
Chicago, Oct. 23. Dr.Francis E. Clark,
founder of the Christian Endeavor and
president of the United Society, told of
his recent trip around the world and of
Christian Endeavorera in other countries
at the annual meeting of the Chicago
union last night.
He said: "The names of our mission
aries who lost their Uvea in China will
go down in history as those of true mar
tyrs. I regret their fate but I am proud
of them and I believe their example
will be a power for good. There were
rumors of a serious outbreak soon when
I was in and around Pekin but no mis
sionary thought of deserting his post.
One of them I could never forget, no
matter how old I might live to be. He
was Horace T. Pitkin, a graduate of
Yale, talented and a wealthy man. He
gave up everything to spread Christian
ity in China. When I last saw him his
whole soul was wrapped up in his work
and he had no thought for personal com
fort or personal danger. Others will take
the places of those who were cut off and
the work In China will go on and on un

Saves a Kegro Convict Prom the Hope
at Wheeling.
Chicago, Oct.23. A special to the Rec
ord from Wheeling, V. Va., says:
Just a year ago the circuit court of
Fayette county. Judge Montgomery pre
siding, sentenced Lud Madison, colored,
to be hanged January 14 in the state
penitentiary at Moundsville for the
murder of another negro. Two days be
fore the date of the execution Governor
Atkinson issued a respite for nine days
The judge who sentenced him died be
fore the reprieve expired. Two weeks
ago Maiison's case was forced upon the
authorities by a report of it to Governor
Atkinson. The governor decided that the
judge being dead and the time for re
sentence having passed no one can now
re-sentence Madison. Further, the date
of legal -death having passed Madison
cannot be hanged on the original sen
tence. As he was never sentenced to Im
prisonment he cannot be kept in the
penitentiary, so Madison will probably
be released in a few days.

While picnicking with a large party on
Pike Lake the Countess Lorean de Cha
vanne, the authoress, who is spending
the summer with her sister, J. A. Bate,
at "Les Hirondelles," took a rifle and
rambled into the forest. After a long
walk, in which the coveted game did not
appear, she started toreturn crestfallen,
of course to the camp at the lake.
Evening came and still she was walk
ing, faint and weary. But no voices
came to her ear; no sound of boats on
the beach; no glimpse of lake or open
country.
A storm followed, and stumbling at
last in the darkness against the ruins of
an old logging camp, she crawled into
US wretched shelter and curled herself
up on some boards In a corner. Here
her utter exhaustion overcame her terror
and Bhe fell into an uneasy sleep, to
awake as the first dim lights of dawn
stole into her cabin.
She was cold, cramped and miserable,
but the coming daylight brought hope,
and she took up her rifle and was rising
to her feet when suddenly two black
bear cubs appeared In the open doorway,
and behind them lumbered along the un
wieldy form of their mother. The fright
ened countess leveled her rifle at the in
truders and cartridge after cartridge
was poured forth in the direction of the
luckless bears. When she stole cau
tiously out to where the three dead
bears ought to lie she found only tracks
leading into the deeper forest.
Finally she found a loghouse whose
rustic owner told her she was "mighty
nigh 10 mile from Pike Lake." The
countess was glad to share the frugal
meal and was then taken back to her
friends, who had been searching all night
for her.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
From the New York Journal
Reuben S. Hoyt, millionaire and man
about town, got out of a cab in front of
the four-story mansion at No. S-6 Wn!
Eighty-eighth strett. Saturday after
noon, and after careful ncrutiny of the
house to satisfy himself that It was In
own, went up the step sideways, un
locked the front door with difficulty anil
entered. Then he raised hia volte In
calls for his servants and gave thi'in ail
a holiday to hint a week and to tak
effect at once. The joyus servants maue
their way out with great sped.
Mr. Hoyt then lit every j t from cel
lar to the garret, locked all the lor.ru,
entered the cab and drove away with a
contented smile on hU iwm..,
Mrs. Km) ben S. Hoyt cunie from
Scranton, Pa., Saturday venin at S
o'clock and drove to h. r home, at N.
S26 West Eighty-ciRhth street. fine
gazed with wonder at the brill ant Illum
ination, hurried up tae steps and rang
the bell. Naturally there was no re.
pjionse, lraufle there was nobody in thf
house. She tried the bawnient door,
beat on the windows and ciatnort d loud
ly to no avail.
Mrs. Reuben S. Hoyt was mightily
alarmed. She had telegraphed hi-r hus
band in the morning that he whs coin
ing home and had not heard from him.
It flashed across her mind that her hus
band had Illuminated the house for the
purpose of figuring rh the star in a
spectacular fulclde. She rushed to the
home of a neighbor and told her tale, of
woe.
Mr. Thomas Hopper and Mr. Walter
Hopper, sons of lmao Hopper, the Har
lem Tammany leader, were guests at thin
neighbor's house. They forced entrance
to the Hoyt mansion. A hurried snr h
of the rooms revealed the gratifying fart
that Mr. Hoyt had not subtracted him
self from life, but Mra Hoyt was not
satisfied.
She called a cab and announced hr
Intention of hunting fiw her husband.
Mr. Thomas Hopper volunteered to ac
company her.
Mrs. Hoyt and Mr. Hoi. per dTove
around the Tenderloin for weary hnuis,
but no trace could they find of the evi
dently contented Mr. Hoyt.
Mrs. Hoyt got home In the chill gray
dawn. She was so hytrtt-l that a ph -slclan
was called to look after her. The
nelKhbors had remained up all rilKbt
talking of the mystery of the house of
Hoyt.
Mr. Reuben S. Hoyt got out of a cab
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning in front
of No. 326 West Eighty-eighth street,
crawled up the front steps, rang the bell
and was admitted. A few moments later
another doctor and a supply of Ice ar
rived and the mystery of the house of
Hoyt was explained.
