He said that there were a very large nnmber of politi cians in the Democratic party who at heart were with Cleveland, but did not bolt Bryan's nomination: first, because if Bryan was elected thty wanted to claim to be gocd free sil ver men and get the offices and pa tronage, and besides they hoped to be able to again capture the machin ery of the party. He said that these politicians were composed chiefly of the courthouse rings, the old Ran som machine, and the Railroad At torneys. That they were today into a scheme with the Cleveland gold bugs and the railroads all over the country, and cited a number of evi dences to prove this. In the South, he said, this scheme was b9ing work ed behind the "nigger racket" with the further purpose of reviving the tariff in the great national campaign. He pointed to the News and Obser ver and to the Charlotte Observer as two illustrations.

The decision will not be unanimous, and it is expected that dissenting opinions will be filed. It will be another Income tax de sis- ion ease. The ease grew ont of an net passed by the legislature of Nebraska in '93, which, among other things, fixed the maximum rate to be eharged by rail roads for the transportation of freight within that State. The rail roads, headed by the Union Paeifie Company got an injunction against the State Board of Tranr porta tion from executing the provisions of the law, alleging, among other things, that the rates established by law were not sufficient to maintain the roads. When the ease was tried by the Supreme Court last April, the State Board of Transportation showed that the rate established was not insuffi cient to maintain the railroad lines. Owing to the questions involved the case attracted great attention. and aroused great interest among the railroads. It will be remembered that the Hon. W. J. Bryan appeared among others as counsel for the State Board of Transportation, when the case was heard by the Supreme Court, and made a powerful argument in favor of the rate established. eratle success in the 8tate unless they ean dictate the policy of the party.

Thomas Glea son and his wife had started out the Alexandria pike to visit a friend last night when two men, with revolvers and representing themselves to be offi cers, separated husband and wife and dragged the shrieking woman into a field where eleven men assaulted her. The penalty for this crime in Ken- tacky is death. To-day Mrs. Gleason has positively identified ten or the men, who were arrested from her de scription.

He showed that every trust was tho direct cause of allowing private individuals and syndicates to control the tele graph, the means of transmitting intelligence, the railroads, the great national highways of trans portation, and the volume of money, the very life blood of commerce and business. These were the causes that produced trusts, and trusts would continue to prosper and flour ish until these wrongs were righted. These causes would produce trusts under a hirh tariff and under a low tariff, and even under free trade.

Conner, editor of the Patron and Oleanor (both of whom were in the audience) for attending the silver convention at Raleigh in 1895 and not running away from it as Jar? is and other machine Demo cratic politicians did. He said that they had shown that they had the courage to declare for silver before it was known that tneir party wonia not nominate a gold bus; or a strad dle bug. He said that he regretted that these two men were not in the last legislature, for even if they had been there as uemoerats ne am not believe that they wenid nave ne- aienty er have no coin of any sort behind them, not even 39-eent dollar silver. They wonld be simply and absolute ly flat money, and nothing else.s Heretofore Mr, Bland has been considered an honest money man to the extent that he would pay 39 or 40 cents on the dollar. Almost all the other Popocratio chieftains have, at one time and another, ranged Bryan, for example, did this when he sup ported Weaver in 1892, and nobody took any special notice of it, for Mr. Bryan has always been a Populist and nothing else. Bland, however, despite his affiliations with the Pop ulists in 1896, was considered to have a little of the old Democratic in stinots and traditions still in him. As was popularly supposed, he was in the Populists but not of them. His Labor Day speech, however, shows that he, too, has gone over to the rag money men. The change of base was natural, of course, for the differ ence between money which is three fifths flat and that which is all flat is m a a 1 one degree oriy and a very small degree. Bland's shift of ground completes the metamorphosis of the Popalistic party. Scratch a Bryan ite of any part of the country and a greenbacker will be found under his skin. There will be no silver is sue in 1900. The difference between a ZO eent dollar the Bland coin will probably be down to twenty cents be fore the next national conventions meet and a no-eent dollar is too slight to "count'' The old rag mon ey party whieh Republican gold re sumption smashed in the early "80s1' will be resurrected in 1900 by the el ements which supported tfryan in 1896 This greenback folly will be crushed easier than was last year's silver lunacy.

The Republican party in Virginia now has two State chairmen, two State and executive committees, and two National Committeemen; in fact, two complete organizations. The convention which made this dual machinery possible claims to represent a great majority of the rank and file of the Republican voters of the State, who objected to the policy of inaction prescribed by their State Committee, and certainly exoeded the anticipations of its pro moters in its sizs and personnel. On the only ballot of to-day the total vote was 988, but the actual attend ance was not more than 800, as many incomplete delegations cast the full vote to which their counties were en titled. The personnel was fully up to the average of a Republican con vention in convention. Haw tha Mia Wha Vatad AaJat aaachataat Bacaana Oararaar. Chicago Times-Herald. When Mr. Cleveland became Pres ident the first time, ex 8enator Ross, formerly of Kansas, was a type-setter on a New Mexico paper and was very poor. Ode day, while setting np a list of presidential appointments, the old printer, whose family had been scantily clad and fed for some time, got to thinking of his past good fortune. He said to himself: "The last Democrat! s President wa saved from lasting dishonor by my vote and I have suffered for that vote ev er since. I could have been elected to the United States Senate maybe several times but for that act. As it is I'm poor and in need, my family laeking the comforts of life and I, working at the case. 1 11 ask the new President for the governorship of New Mexico. The next day his application and the letters of several influential Dem ocrats were on their way to Wash ington. It was not many weeks af ter that when the foreman gave the old printer another "take" of presi dential appointments. When his dim old eyes looking through spec tacles fell npon "Edmund G.

"What's the matter Ross asked the foreman. The old man slowly raised his head, looked at the foreman and said: "Gov. Ross, if you please; look at that,'' and he pointed to his "copy." "Drop yonr work and come here all of you,' called the foreman. "I want to introduce you to the Gov ernor of New Mexico. Together, hip, hip, hurrah !" One of the printers dodged out of the office and ran over and told the Ross family the good news, and when the Governor was about half way home he saw his household coming to meet him. The baby, a winsome young lady, threw her arms about his neck, gave him a noisy kiss, and in a half -laugh and half cry voice, exclaimed: "O, papa, we are all so glad for your sake. Now you won't have to work so hard." "Well, daughter, I'm so glad for your sake, and that of the family."

From the Milwaukee Sentinel The Free Library Commission of Wisconsin appears to be justifying the increased expenditure for the ex tension of its wcrk which wss author ized .by the last legislature. It is promoting in a praetiesl and com paratively inexpensive way thees tablithment and wider cii eolation of the free traveling libraries, wisely designed to place wholesome litera ture within the reach of the people in small communities and rural dis tricts, where the advantages of ordi nary public libraries cannot be hoped for. A library meeting at Gtand Rap ids last week, the first ever held in Wood county, furnishes gratifying evidence of the growing interest in this educational enterprise conduc ted along common sense lines. A little more than a year ago fifteen traveling libraries were purchased by a public-spirited citizen, Mr. J. D. Witter, for Wood county. A little la ter twelve more were added to meet the increasing demand for books. Each library contained thirty vol umes originally, of whieh one-fourth were bjoks for children. The num ber was increased to forty books ia each library, all of the additions be ing juvenile works. At the meeting last week all of the librarians report ed a need cf more books far children, and it developed that in many of the families the young people, who are eager patrons of the scheme, were the only ones able to read the works in English. There is an aggregate of over 1.009 carefully selected books, kept con stantly in circulation and found in adequate to supply the demand far good literature in a single county having a population of abent 20.000 people, the greater number of whom are widely scattered over the eounty. The good results of such work are beyond estimation. With the libra ries made np with careful exercise of day ef ii the fever attaatie oa the fee of tea record took somewhat of a terel day.
