CSp "You' tell us the great cities are in favor of the gold standard, leave your iarms, and your cities - will grow up again. But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in everv citv of the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demo cratic National Convention. 'I am for McKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J. Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector at-Large. Elf "I desire to meet Mr. Russell on the hustings of North Carolina. I want the people to hear us and de cide between me and what 1 repre sent, and what I think he represents. With their decision I shall be con tent. If elected Governor ot your State, I shall see that every man, no matter what,-his station in lite or wh it his politics, is given every priv ilege granted him by the Constitution of North Carolina. Cyrus B. Wat son, Democratic candidate for Governor. FIGURING ON THE RESULT, The Philadelphia Times is a gold paper, independent politic illy, but so strongly fof gold that it .denounces the platform adopted and the ticket nominated at Chicago and will sup port McKmley, because the St, Louis platform pronounces for the gold standard. The Times is not a rainbow chaser, but surveys the field and figures on the prospective chances of the respective candidates, . . i .. ... coming trom tne source it does we present the following editorial as a matter of interest: Tbe two leading parties of the country have now nominated their national tickets. The old-time Populists and the silver party have yet to hold conven tions. aad the attitude of a number of tbe States will be determined by the fusion, or the failure to attain fusion, between the Democrats and tbe Popa .lists. While there are a number of Dimo- cratic States in which the Populist sen timent predominates, there are also a number of Republican States in which the same sentiment is even more pro nounced, and the question to be deter mined by future events is whether the Demccratic and the Republican Popu list parties cad be united in support of one ticket. The next electoral college will consist of 447 voles, and 224 votes must be re ceived to elect a President and Vice President, The following States may be counted as certain tor McKinley : Connecticut 6 Delaware. ...... '3 Maine........ .. 6 Maryland. . . . 8 Massachusetts. . .15 New York..... 36 Pennsylvania .'. 33 Rhode Island.. 4 Vermont.' 4 Wisconsin 12 Minnesota.'. .

If the free silver tidal wave shall continue as it rages to- j. i . . . . ur. me loiiowtng states may be re garded as douUful : Iawa. IMinoii. . . . . . Indiana Kansas...... Kentucky. . .

Iowa, Indiana, I li nois, Kansasj Michigan and Nebraska classed as doubtful States. The chances are largely in favor of a'l of them voting lor McKinley.1 and be can surely win all ft them if his party leaders shall have the shrewdness and courage to accept challenge of the Chicago repudiationists and make the question of national credit tbe supreme issue of the contest. It is a battle that can be won only by courage. It lis not only possible, but even probable before November that the Populist bubble will be pricked and ex ploded, but the battle must be fought on the assumption that tbe cheap money craze, that has swept a great party away from all its honest moorings, will main tain its power during tbe contest, and . can be overthrown only by the united enorts ot patriotic citizens ot ever? uub The editor of the Times is a pretty cool-headed calculator, but in this statement be made the very best showing he could for the opponents of tbe Democratic ticket, a showing, however, which is based to a great extent on ex parte claims and does not take into account contingencies and conditions that exist to a greater extent than are herein recognized and are not fully appreciated by the so 'called "sound money men of either the Democratic or the Repub lican party. It pats down thirteen States as certain for .McKinley, with an aggregate of 149 .electoral votes out of the 224 necessary to elect. In these States are included- Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey and New York, with an aggregate of .69 electoral votes. There isn't one of those States that is not debatable ground, with the chances quite as good for Bryan as for Mc inley, and in some better. Classing them as doublful it would reduce McKin ley's certain vote to 80. The figuring on these States nas been on the assumption that free sil ver has no strength in them, and that the sentiment is practically solid for the gold standardan assumption which has been encouraged by the gold press and the loud assertions of the gold politicians who have failed to discover or have closed their eyes to the growth of the free silver senti ment. They base their talk too much on the cities, which are influ enced by the money power, and hence entirely overlook the rural m districts, where the most systematic effort has been made to propagate free sifverism, aad where, these efforts have met with more success than the gold people realize. West of Manhattan island the State of New York is ordinarily Re publican. But the free silver senti ment has spread so among the farmers, the majority xf whom have been voting the Republican ticket, that former political statistics are of little use in casting up prospective results. Notwithstanding the revolt of some of the so called Democratic newspapers in New York city, there is no reason to suppose iljat the regular Democratic organization, led by Tammany as usual, will not stand by the ticket. The Democratic leaders of that State have nothing to gain by giving its vote to McKinley, whether they like free silver or not In Maryland Senator Gorman has something at stake in getting : that State back into the Democratic col umn. It is the only way he can hold his seat in the Senate, and prevent the Democratic faction which helped to turn it over to the Republicans from crushing him. . The States which are here classed as."reasonably certain" for the Demo cratic party in the contingency of a union between the Democrats and the Populists give 111 votes, and are about as sure as any of the five States above named as certain tor the Democratic ticket -independent of such union. . . To show that the Times takes into due consideration the uncertain fac tor that is to play a part in this elec tion it places in the doubtful column a number of States which the ,Re publican managers have been count ing confidently upon, while there are at least seven of them which are rea son ab'y certain fqrthe Democrats i nese seven are .Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Virginia and West Virginia, with an aggregate electoral vote of 72 out o the 179 classed as doubtful. Ad these to the 111 votes conceded to the Democrats . on a contingency which will occur, and it will give the Democrats 183 votes, leaving them but 41 votes to get oat of the remaining 264. Of course this is all figuring upon contingencies, but as we read it the statement of the Times makes a much better outlook for the Democrats than for the Republicans; and silver will grow stronger from now until the day of election. MIHOR MEHTIOH. The more thoughtful ot the gold organs are not disposed to underes timate the size of the job they have on hand, nor to underrate the man whom the Chicago convention nomi nated as its standard bearer. The Philadelphia Times throws out the danger signal thus : It would be madness to underrate his strength as a candidate for President if the present cheap money craze shall not reach an ebb before November. We doubt whether the Chicago convention could have chosen any man so well equipped to unite and inspire the cheap money fanatics of the country as Mr. Bryan. He will be aagressive in the battle from start to finish, and unless the Republi cans shall rise to a just appreciation of the national peril by meeting aggressive repudiation by equally aggressive resist ance, it is more than possible that the contest may be doubtful. ' The Times believes that the battle for the gold standard may be won, but that it will require a united effort to do it, and that the Repub licans must meet "aggressive . repu diation by equally aggressive.'resist- ance." But how can thev do that? - Haven't they nominated as . their standard bearer the tvoical hieh tariff man. as the exnnne.nt rtf what Mr. Hanna and his other backers have.held to be the issue in the cam paign? How can the Republicans fight for free silver by orating on the beauties of protection, especial y when the standard bearer is con fronted with his record on the money question, and with his frequent de clarations that he believed as much in silver as he did in gold? To declare for gold as the stand ard money Mr. McKinley must swallow his record.- If he goes be- fore tbe people and Mr.- Hanna re moves the padlock from his lips, he must either declare for silver or con fess that in the eleventh hour he was forced upon a platform which he does not endorse by the gold men of the East, whom he and his Supporters dared not beard, j The Republicans might possibly make an Aggressive tariff campaign but they are ha'ndi- J capped by their record and their ut terances on the money question and this is especially true of their stan dard bearer who has been doing the double shuffle ever since the money question was started as an issue in this campaign. The address issued by the so-called "sound money' faction of Illinois, Star yesterday, is published in the simply an after excuse for something determined upon long before the address was issued. Its honesty and sincerity are, therefore, dis credited by this fact. DoW't every reader of newspapers ; know that weeks before the Chicago Convex tion was held, and even before the Illinois Democratic State convention was held, a formal call was issued by these same men for a meeting of gold men in Chicago to form an or ganization, and that it was then deliberately stated that the intention was to bolt the national convention if it adopted a free silver platform? Where ; is the honesty in these men trumping up excuses now for doing what they bad determined to do be fore any of these things happened on which they now base their justi fication for their proposed action? They have four grievances. One is that the convention preferred Sen ator Daniel toSenatorHill for chair man. That's a grievance based upon a j personality. I Will they assert that a sovereign convention did not have a right to elect its tem porary chairman? It recognized the claims of the silver men of Michi gan, where some sharp practice stifled the voice of the'majonty. It refused to endoise the honesty and fidelity of the Administration. But how could the convention- be expected to en dorse art administration ! which had been persistently fighting the cardi nal Issue that the majority of the convention believed in vand pursuing policies which that majority consid ered disastrous ? And lastly it nomi nated a man who wasn't their kind of a Democrat. Mr. Bryan has been a Democrat all his life, but suppose he hadn't been ? Didn't many of these gentlemen support .and vote for Horace Greeley, who had never been a Democrat and was not when he was nominated ? " hese reasons are not only , fictitious but they are ridiculous. CURRENT COMMENT. The spectacle of Mr. Dana supporting Whitelaw Reid's candi date is but another illustration of what the whirligig of time can ac complish. Washington Post, Ind. The issue for the current campaign is clear cut. . There has been no straddling. If a question can be settled at the ballot-box,-the money question ought to be settled next , November. Savannah News, gold, Dem. j i -' h "Regular Democratic organi zations in many towns and cities in Eastern States are already ratifying the ticket and platform" So says an anti-Bryan journal. It confirms our' expectation that the Democracy would fall into line everywhere. New York Mercury, Dent. . Senator Lindsay, of Ken- tucky, thinks the Democratic party is "going to the devil." The Sena tor, who is a gold bug, makes a mis take. The Republican party has already gone to the devil Henry Watterson's Money Devil and the' Senator should not get into that band wagon. He makes the impor tant admission, however, that if good times do not come quickly, in case of Republican victory,;! the silver movement will have prodigious growth. Augusta Chronicle, Dem.

Years ago a member of th Indiana legislature, in a brand new Buit of broadcloth and a silk hat, gold beaded cane and white lawn tie, wandered up into the sanctum of The Courier-Jour nal, stood around in a listless way, look ed over the papers, went down stairs and came back several times. He was asked to 'take a seat, which he declined elaborately, and ended by drawing hia chair in ! a confidential way up to the "Roundabout" man's desk. 'Could you, " said he, 'put in the paper that I am at the Gait House with my bride and just fling in something about my being a prominent Indianian? I don't care anything about this sort'of thingmyself, but you ' know how the women aire. I want 50 copies of the pa per sent to this address," and he laid down i. 50, grinned, got red in the face, said "Good morning" and van ished. Next morning he read that "Mr. John R. Huckleberry requests us to say that ho is at the Gait House with his bride; that he is a prominent member of the legislature of Indiana and that he himself, . personally, cares nothing about newspaper notoriety, but that society note would be highly gratifying to Mrs. Huckleberry. He added that he wanted 50 copies of the paper for dis tribution; to his constituents. " Wash ington Star.

There are in Chicago a considerable number j of men and ; women, mostly Italians,' who make a fair living by tracking pecan nuts. It is a recognized trade. They take orders regularly from the fruit stands and stores and supply them with cracked nuts. So far as pos sible they keep their methods in shadow, They crack them with hammers, but tbey get no such disheartening result as tho amateur who essays the same at tempt. They have no little pieces to pick up, but every kernel comes out in neat, unbroken halves. ; This is because they soak tho nuts over night in soft water. i-Chicago Tribune. Smallext Republic In Europe. Neither Andorra nor San Marino can claim to be the smallest independent territory in Europe. That position be longs to Tavoralo, an islet off the northwest coast of Sardinia. Its size is three miles long and three quarters of a mile broad, and its population numbers exactly ,65 souls. HgTom 1886 to 1882 the islet was governed by one Paoloto, who had all tbe authority of a king, but when ho died in the latter year he ad vised the inhabitants to form a republic, which was done. All the adult island ers,. women equally with men, have votes, and every six years a president is elected for that period. Westminster Gazette. ' -r i - ; I THE HEART IN OLD AGE. A SttMsonceptlon That Cause Humanity , Needles Anxiety. - A story told by Dr. G. W. Balfour in his book on 'The Senile Heart" well deserved the doable, purpose of marking the practical process which scientific medicine has achieved within the past 50 years and of administering a much needed word of comfort and encourage ment to those numerous workers who, aa age approaches, begin to feel uncom fortable about the regions of the heart "Many years ago," said Dr. Balfour, a gentleman of 77 consulted me as to I severe fainting fits to which he was liable. A distinguished consultant, since dead, had told him that these attacks were due to fatty degeneration of the heart and that treatment would be of no avail The heart's impulse was im-; nawwinfihlo iha cnnnHfa fninf: Vint, nnrfl. f the arteries, firm, but neither hard nor tortuous. I told the patient jfchat experi- ence had taught me that hearts supposed to be fatty were often weak. The result of treatment was a steady- improvement in health and rn force of heart beat, and the patient lived to be 90 and did not die of heart failure in the end, but from senile asthenia.1 ' To many people "fatty heart" is a perfect bugbear. But this is what Dr. Balfour has to say about the diagnosis of tbe disease: "It is absolutely impossible to diagnosticate fatty degeneration of the heart I "We may surmise its existence, but we can only be certain of its presence when we see it post mortem. " If many middle aged and old men could but have this written deep upon the tablets of their consciousness, what loads would be lifted from their minds. Yet doctors of small experience roll out a diagnosis of fatty heart with sonorous satisfac tion, unheeding that to many a trem bling father of a family it is like the sound of a deathknelL On the question of treatment Dr. Balfour is equally de cided, i "We are often told," he says, "that there is danger in treating a fatty heart I Yet the result of treat ment in the case recorded was a cure. proving that a heart supposed to be fatty was only weak and that a life supposed to be over only wanted the fillip of a few minims of digitalis to carry it on to almost the extreme of hu man longevity. " So, true is it, even in scientific medicine, that a little experi ence and common sense outweigh many shiploads of mere abstract theorizing. London Hospital DIAMOND THIEVES. The Trick They L'ae to Circumvent the Ever Watchful Dealers. i A diamond dealer recently interview ed gave some of hia experiences as fol lows:! "A fow weeks ago a foreigner came into my store and desired to see rings. After choosing for a long time he picked! out one valued at $18. He made me a i ridiculously low offer, which I naturally refused. He then desired to see two other rings one a sapphire and the other a diamond ring exhibited in the show window. While I reached into the window for them I observed in the mirror on ono side of the. window how the stranger slipped away two rings, each worth $1 50. I did not turn around, but went to the door, opened and then locked it. If I had turned around, the thief would have thrown pepper and sand in my eyes and ran away with his booty. A policeman was soon in the place. The thief had the pepper and sand ready for use in his hand. : "Another time a thief dropped two rings into his ur&brella, and at another time another slipped one into a hole in his glove. A very common trick of dia mond thieves is to ask to be shown loose stones, which are thereupon handed to him lying upon a waiter. He breathes upon them, and thereby seeks to get one or more into his mouth. Others study the rings lying in the show window and have one made exactly to pattern de scribed. The gold is good, but the jewel is paste. "They then come in twilight into the store and seek to exchange their imitation for the genuine." Jewelers' Circular. Light Persons Poisoned by Ivy. Mr. L Ten Bosch writes from Ro- chelle Park, N. J. , to Garden and For est, saying ;; ; ' ' Whenever I see a tree in the embrace of a poison ivy, I take my knife and cut the vine. On the grounds of a few friends and on my own I have cut vines from 14 to 2) inches thick, sometimes at the root and sometimes as far up as I could reach, and then tearing down the stems have uprooted them with my hands. I have done this at all seasons, and when my hands were torn by black berry thorns, but I never had a trace of poisoning. A friend to whom I men tioned my immunity said, "tJi course you are not poisoned, because you are dark. ' Since then I have been thinking that in the cases of poisoning which had come to my knowledge the victims had been light haired. A younger brother of mine, who is very fair, has been se verely poisoned. " i Population of the World. German geographers have made a careful estimate of the population of Af rica, and place the total at 1C3.953.000, which is 42,210,000 more than the ag gregated population of North and South America. Europe and Africa combined have a population of 521,832,000,though their area is not greater than that of all America. Tho new world has plenty of room for many times its present popula lion of 121,7 1 3, 000. The German esti mate of the population of the world now Is l,480,000,000,..and one of the best authorities of the Royal Statistical soci ety says it will be increased by the year 8517 to 88,580,000,000.
