THAT PROMISED PROSPERITY.
We have not the slightest doubt
that there will be improvement in
the condition of business in this
country, for things could not be
much worse than they have been for
some time and are now without the
bottom dropping out, bat we are not
looking for the "flood" of prosperity
"tnat some of the organs ia their ex
hllaration over the so oiled "sound
money" victory are predicting. We
do believe that if Wm. J. Bryan had
been elected it would have bees
notwithstanding the lurid predictions
of disaster, the beginning of an era
of prosperity suctias this country
has not seen since the policy of con
tracting the currency was inaugura-
in tnr tnpn tn rinni inn nMM.
sary to prosperity would have been
met, that is, an expansion ot the cur
rency and the : breaking op of the
monopoly in money.
On what do they base the predic
tions of great prosperity? On the
"restoration of confidence" by the
election of McKinley and the verdict
of the popular ballot for-" sound
money," which means gold. This will
have some effect, no doubt, as any
verdict would, for any verdict is bet-
tor than nnn nnrl rvintinnerl 'aarlra
-' o
tion, the result of which was uncer
tain. It may, perhaps, make it easier
to borrow money in Europe on A
tcan securities, but they who congrat
ulated the countryn thart; thereby
confess- that we harT not money
enough in this cfyuntry and justify
the contentimvf or an expansion of
the currejxty, one of the basic rea
sons Jtor the demand for the free
cyroaze of silver.
We are told that many of the man
ufactories started up the day after
the election and went to work filling
the orders conditioned upon the elec
tion of McKiiley, but these orders
were not for something that was not
wanted,, but for something that was
wanted, but not immediately, some
thing which could be waited on a few
' weeks, the opportunity-being taken
advantage of in the meantime to
make the filling contingent upon the
election of McKinley as one of the
"ways to bring pressure to bear upon
the employes to vote the Republican
ticket. It doubtless worked pretty
Nrell, and now the orders are being
filled, which would have been filled
all the" same, if Bryan had been
elected. ,
We are told also that the railroads
have given large orders for rails, and'
" rolling stock, for which they say
there will be great need, as they an
ticipate heavy business. We sin-
-Trilv hnn this is tm hnr w haw
- j r i -
a lingering recollection of the confi
dent predictions or -the great pros
perity which was to come to. nswhen
, the Sherman Act was repealed and
we think It was right after that that
the Westeru railroads put in orders
for large numbers of cars to be in
readiness for the extraordinary
amount of freight they expected to
handle, and then cime the panic and
industrial collapse.
We are not apprehensive of any
panic or industrial collapse now, but.
as we stated, look for improvement
in business. We fail, however, to see
where this predicteT"flood of pros
perity is to come from or what is to
make it, and we trust we will not be
. classed with the calamity howlers or
the croakers if we confess that we
can't see it, for we do not like either
of them, and would always prefer to
look on the bright side than on the
dark, even if we had to stretch our
neck to do it.
But what is going to breath new
life into our industries and give this
fresh stimulus to business? We are
right on the verge of winter when
thousands of men who - are - em
ployed the rest of the year will
become idle,. Earning nothing, they
will be compelled to economize
, in their expenditures. Some of the
'"-farmery may have a little more
money than they had this time last
year because of the higher price of
grain, but most ot this has passed out
of the hands of the farmers and gone
iato the hands of the speculators
who have made the profits that have
been made or will make the profits
that are to be made. Much of this
grain has already : been exported.
The farmers who were able to hold
may have held for higher prices, and
buyers in the interior may have held
for the same reason,, and the rail
roads wilt," of course, have this to
haul to the" seaboard, but this will
not make a business much more ex
traordinary than that of other years.
There is a reported shortage in the
wheat supply of Europe, caused by
the shortage in the producing coun
tries, which has caused the advance
in the price of wheat and will proba-
. bly keep' it ' up, but they are not
making a rush for it,' and thus avoid
booming prices.. So much for the
Western farmer.
There is no boom in cotton, which
though higher than it was this time
last year is not ' high enough to put
money enough in the pocket of the
grower to make him proud after the
cost of. production is -taken - out.
There doesn't seem to be any short
. age In the world's visible supply of
cotton, nor any extraordinary de
mand for it, and hence no promising
. prospect ot its commanding" a very
high price. As this is the South's
main dependence there is no indica
tion of a rush of money from that
source.
There is but one thing as we see it
which could start an era of much
activity and this is the Inauguration
of a .system of development,
the opening ' of mines, building
of ; railroads, mill?, furnaces, &a,
all of which are dependent
upon the supply of money and the
ease with: which it can be com
manded. .When 'money becomes so
"cheap" that there is go incentive to
hoard It then it will be turned loose
.and put into the channels of business,
and this will not be until it becomes,
abundant enough to make 'n"gkZp
Even if all the boardegold and
greenbacks wereJfefffned loose, there
is not moneeaough in this country,
especialfy since . the money it has is
radically controlled by a compara
tively few men who can manipulate
it in their own interest, ;
, There will be improvement in busi
ness; we feel satisfied of that, but not
so suddenly nor so much a to make
us giddy with prosperity.
j KIHU& KXBTIOff.
The Rothschilds and other money
magnates of Europe who are inter
ested in the perpetuation of the gold
standard, are rejoicing In the
called "sound money" victosy last
Tuesday, while the advocates of
bimetallism over tbeji are corres
pondingly depressed, for they regard
the verdict cSTuie voters: of. this
country asa serious obstacle to the
progress of the cause in those coun
tries where a fight was being made
for it. , Dr. Otto Arendt, one of the
most prominent bimetallists in Ger
many, is quoted as saying:
"I have beard the newt with unfeigned
sorrow. The defeat of the silver move
ment in the United States will undoubt
edly react unfavorably upon the bime
tallic movement in Germany and the
remainder of Europe. Still I do not
despair. Bimetallism will not be long
deferred."
Notwithstanding the discourage
ment he takes a hopeful view. The
main obstacle in the way is Great
Britain, - which adheres to the gold
standard because the financial policy
of that country is dominated by the
money lenders. : And the bimetallists
of that country and of other coun
tries were anxious for some recog
nized commercial power, to lead the
way which might be followed by
others, and thus force Great Britain
to yield, or stand out alone. Hence
they rejoiced when the Democratic
party of this country declared for
bimetallism, regardless of other
nations. If bimetallism had triumph
ed there is no doubt that Germany
and other European nations would
soon have followed. .
Wm. J. Bryan belongs to the never
despair order of men, who although
defeated never surrender. His ad
dress published yesterday shows the
metal and the -unconquerable spirit
of the man, and ts fitting culmination
of the magnificent record he made
from the hour the Democratic stand
ard was placed in his hands until it
was certain that it had gone down in
defeat, temporarily lowered but not
dishonored. The cause ot the gold
standardThas for the time being tri
umphed, triumphed by methods that
have now become historic, but the
cause of bimetallism is not dead, for
there'ean be no enduring prosperity
in this country ; until that . becomes
the recognized and established' pol
icy. : There may be "makeshifts,"
suggestions of expediency, but the
people who have been promised so
much in the event that the gold
standard triumphed, will remember
these promises and . hold the promis
ers up to them. The responsibility
is upon the statesmen of the Repub
lican party now; they can no more
influence the people with predictions
of disaster or seductive promises of
prosperity. Now that they have the
opportunity they will be judged by
what they do, not by what they pro
fess. . One of the grim post-election-
jokes is the suggestion of some of
the Northern "sound money" organs
which during the campaign were
emptying their slush pots on "repu
nliators," "communists" and "an
archists," that the Democrats get
together now and "reorganize," on
the"Iodtanapolis " platform, the
representatives of . which- decoys
Palmer and Buckner didn't . get
votes enough to make a respectable
funeral, didn't carry a State nor as
far as beard from a county or elec
tion precinct in the United States.
That would be a nice platform to get
upon wouldn't it, ever if the ques
tion of principle were entirely ig
nored, and politics only considered ?
This would be the bobtailest tail, so
to speak, on record, wagging the big
gest dog that tail ever wagged. Oh,
no, none of that. It is too ridicu
lous even for a joke. And then again
we have Grover Cleveland and John
G, Carlisle, hastening to chop off the
heads of Federal office holders who
happened to hold opinions contrary
to theirs, and had the independence
to express them, which indicates the
burning desire these Indianapolis
platform exponents have to get the
Democratic party together. We like
joke? but this is really too much.
'
Interest will now T hinge . on . the
election of a United States Senator
from this State to succeed Pritcb
ard. . It is in the power of the Pop
ulists and Democrats to name the
Senator, unless it be true, as claimed
oy some ot the Republican man
agers, that there are enough of the
Populists elected committed to
Pritchard to return him. : In some
counties this was charged by the
Democratic canvassers in the cam
paign, but, as far as we know, was
not admitted, those charged simply
refusing to say yes " or no. There
may be others, but Dockery, Mott,
Guthrie and Pritchard will be the
leading contestants, with the chances
In favor of Guthrie, unless, as stated.
there has been a previous JiSreain
that will secure ... Pjjkg&ard votes
enough to elecjina. . The Demo
crats woujdrgtve Guthrie their sup,
portBJore . willingly . than to either
ockery or Mott. - We do not know
how Senator Pritchard feels towards
Guthrie, or whether he would sup
port him, but the Populist machine
runners in this State , have ' spite
against him, growing out of the ad
dress be issued advising Populists
to vote for free silver Democrats for
Congress in preference to Populi:
decoys, and they will do what Jcaey
can to knife him.

Democrats had gone at once to the
McKinley side instead of setting up
tbe Palmer and Buckner ticket with

WHAT A BULLDOG DID.
Wu Small Came For This Partio-
nlar Canine.
There were five officers from Fort
Beno and fonr from Fort Kearney, and
seven or eight citizens from the east who
had come out for a hunt, and we had
pitched our camp on the eastern base of
the Big Born mountains, 'at the head
waters of Clear Fork river. One of the
civilians, who hailed from Boston, had
brought along bis bulldog, and. though
he was guyed and ridiculed a hundred
times over he insisted that the dot;
should be taken along on the hunt.
"You justwaitl" he replied to all sar
castio remarks. "I want to see him
tackle a bear, and if he gets a chance to
it '8 dollars to cents that ,he comes out
ahead."
One day six of us went off up the
mountain, and the owner of the bulldog
was one" of the party. His dog was at
his heels, as a matter of course, but as
we were out for the climb more thari'in
expectation of sighting game no one ob
jected. We had reaqhed a point a thou
sand feet above camp and directly over
it when a big cinnamon bear which had
been snoozing alongside of a rock start
ed up with a "woof I" Before any one
had scarcely got sight of him or realized
what sort of game it was the bulldog
rushed forward and tackled him, getting
a tail hold.
"Btu boy I Hang to him I Now's
your show!" yelled the man from Bos
ton, and the bulldog got a death grip.
Old .cinnamon hadn't his nerve with him
that day, and the first move he made
was down bilL .At his first plunge he
started a good sized bowlder from its
bed, and 100 feet down he dislodged a
great mass of earth. That was the start
of an avalanche. Earth, rocks, trees and
bowlders began to .move, and a strip 800
feet wide went . booming down into the
valley. The men in camp heard and saw
it in time to escape, but it swept away
. every tent we had andfilled the bed of
the creek 80 feet deep with debris.
"Not an ounce of provisions, a cook
ing utensil nor a blanket was saved.
Where our camp had stood was a mass
of earth and rock 15 feet deep. We got
down as soon as possible, and men were
sent off to Beno to bring back a new
outfit. -No one ever expected to see that
bulldog again, of course, but three hours
later he walked in among us as if noth
ing had happened and hadn't so-much
as a scratch on him. We looked and
looked, but no one spoke for two or
three minutes. Then the man from Bos
ton suddenly remarked :
"''I told you he'd get away with a
bear, but I wasn't so sure about an ava
lanche. I've raised his price to $8,000,
and I don't care to sell at that !' "De

In view of the faot, says an Austria
Hungarian journal, that., black iron
stoves do not in all cases suit a room
which is painted in light colors, and of
the attempts made unsuccessfully to
use upon them a water glass paint, Herr
Kratzer, a Leipsio chemist, has been
experimenting in this direction with
very satisfactory results. The colors, he
finds, may be blue white, borium sul
phate, aino white, borium chromate,
yellow ocher, uranium oxide, green
chromium oxide, cobalt green, green
ultramarine, ultramarine blue, cadmium
oxide for yellow brown, English red or
caput mortuum for brown, brown oxide
of manganese, burned terra di . siena,
red iron colors, chrome red. ; These are
to be mixed with warm soft water, dis
tilled or rain, and diluted 83 degrees

It may be necessary to give the color a
"thorough preliminary wetting with very
soft water, particularly if the color be
an earthy one, and the better this is
done the better will the color mix with
the water glass, but no mote color
should be mixed than can be used with

be perfectly free from grease and rust,

"Well, well," remarked a leading
hatter the other day, "everybody has
smiled at the Vanity of women as they
take long and fond glances at their re
flections in the store windows, but
woman is not a marker for the ordinary
man. The uglier a man is "the longer it
takes him to suit himself with a hat
and the oftener does hejook into the
glass while buying one. I have an un
usually prepossessing , customer - who
would exhaust the patience of a Job.
He came into4he store the day after the
styles arrived and consumed two hours
and ten minutes in getting a hat that
pleased him. The next day he returned
the hat and had one made to order.,
This man is so ugly that nothing could
improve his looks but a mask. "Phila

appears in varied forms, but ia forced
to yield to Hood's Sarsaparilla, which
purifies and vitalizes the blood and
cures all such diseases. Read this :
" In September, 1894, 1 made a misstep and
injured my ankle. Very soon afterwards,
two inches across formed and in walking
to favor it I sprained my. ankle. The sore
became worse; I could not put my boot
on and I thought I should have to give up
at every step. I could not get any relief
and had to stop work. I read of a cure of
a similar case by Hood's Sarsaparilla and
concluded to try it. Before I bad taken
all of two bottles the sore had healed and
the swelling had gone down. My ' ,
is now well and I have been greatly bene
fited otherwise. I have Increased in
weight and am in better health. I cannot
say enough In praise of Hood's Sarsapa
rilla." Mks. II. Blaxk, So. Berwick, Me.

Electric Bitters is a medicine for any
season, but perhaps more generally
needed, when tbe languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when tbe liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more surely in counteract
ing and freeing tbe svstem from the
malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion
