The farmers of the Green Mountain state and the farmers of rock-ribbed Maine have sent two most emphatic‘ and impressive lessons to William J. Bryan, the Democratic Populist candidate for President. They are: 1. That the farmers are not fools. 2. ’l hat the farmers are honest. If Mr. Bryan fails to understand and ’appreciate these messiges, he should' early begin the study of the patriotic c‘1_arac’er of the American people. 0»— The [Weather and the: Craps. The Crop and Climate Bulletin issued by the Weather Bureau for the week ending on the 21st inst, states that, as most crops had been s:cured, the frosts of that week did but little damage to crops ,in the Northern States. But in Iowa the frost, following cold and moist weather. was unfavorable to late corn. The heavy rains over large por- tions of Tex-is a's ) lowered the grade of cotton, but the bent fit to the top crop of cotton more than counterbalanced the injury sustained But the season has now so far ad- vanced that its later developments will probablyafl'zct most of the crops but little. I .‘ Plain Facts About Silver. The (fl-'ths of populist orators to "ins. flame the prijuuc-s and excite the imaginations of farmers and Working- , men, must utterly fail if their" hlearers will only look at a few obvxoiis and un deniable facts. . ‘ There is not tin-day one great and the world’s respect that is not on a gold basis. There,is not one country on a silver basis that has gold in circulation, whereas all the gold standard nations have enormous amounts of silver money prosperous nation commanding also—just as we have. These and these alone are the coun- tries that comply with the demands of the bi-metgllists that both gold and silver shall be kept in circulation.

One of the queerest pranks of the wind during the cyclone the other night happened at the corner of Sixth and J of- ferson streets. J onn Gazzollo, the night engineer at the City Hall, has been sufiering from toothache for some time, and has been telling his friends courage up to the point. On the night in question his tooth ached so badly that he could hardly hear the wind blow. He was desperate. Borrowing a gum overcoat from one of ‘the policemen about the police station, he started out just as a funnel-shaped cloud was scudding along. He reached the corner of Sixth and J efi'erson streets and was about to turn the corner when a gust of wind struck him and lifted him off his feet. He might have been carried over to the Court House yard and drowned in the fountain but for his presence of mind in grabbing the iron railing that runs around the steps leading down in- to the basement. He clung there for a moment with the wind right in his face. He turned" his head, and as he did so there was a sudden jerk that dis- lodged his hat and fairly unravelled his red necktie. ' Then there was a lull, and when he crept back into the station house he made the startling discovery that the aching tooth was gone. The wind had pulled it. He tells the story himself, and if it is not true Mr. Gazzollo has greatly deceived me.——Louisville Com- mercial. NEW IRISH STORIES. Some Anecdotes Told in the Recently Pub- lished Journals of Mr. O'Neill Daunt. Some good stories are told’ in the journals of Mr. O‘Neill Daunt, recent- ly published under the title, “A Life Spent in Ireland.” At one time Mr. Dauvnt was the guest of Father Burke, in whose parish one of the sanguinary ti-t‘he atfrays occurred between the par- son and the Catholic people. The sol- diers were called on to fire on «the pop niece, and some persons were killed. Soon afterward Father Burke re- ceived a government circular inquir- ing the number of his flock for the purpose of making up a census. He answered that, as he had not yet as- certained to what extent 'his people day lhe could not furnish the required information with accuracy. ' ' When the Poor law was first intro- duced a Dublin beggar woman, whOm a gentleman referred to the poorhouse, said: ' ‘ “This Poor law's a grand thing for the sowls of the gintlemen.” “iV-liy so?” they only say go to the poorhouse, but before there was a poorhouse they used to say, ‘Go to the divill’ ” ' When Mr. Hemphill‘wlas canvassing Cashel he found that a party of ,elec- tors, known as “commoners," number- ing some thirteen or fourteen, were notoriously corrupt and always sold their vote to the highest bidder. Their usual price was £20 pervote. Hemp- hill requested the priest to preach on the sin of trafficking on the fran- chise, and the priest complied and de- nounced corrupt trafficking in votes as a mortal sin. The next day I-Iempihlll met one of the commoners, and anxious to learn what effect the sermon 'had produced on these ven'al gentlemen, he asked the man whether he had been at mass on the previous day. “I was your honor.” “Was .not that sermon on bribery ex- cellent?” "It was an elegant sermon your honor.” ' - ”Will it do goOd, do you think ?” “I think it will make the election run very close, your honor.” “How so?” ,» “Why, we always got £20 for a vote before we knew it was a sin; but, as his reverence says we’ll be damned for selling our votes, we can't for the fu- ture. take less than £40."

Queen Victoria has now reigned over her loyal subjects fifty-nine years three months and four days, a period which. has only been equalled by one English monarch, her grindfather, George III, who occupied the throne for fifty-nine years, three months and four days, but who only reigned in name during the last nine years of his life. To but two others of 'Her Majesty’s ancestors, Henry III., who reigned fifty-six years, and Edward 111., who reigned fifty years and a few months,_was it given to celebrate their jubilee. In point of age Queen Victoria must yield precedence to four reigning sovereigns. At the head of the list stands His Holiness Leo XIII., who was born in 1810, followed by the Grand Duke of Luxemburg, who is seven years younger, and the King of Den- mark and the Grand Duke Saxe- Weimar-Eisenacb, both of whom were born in 1817. . —See Hambidge’s “A Three Bagger” in Truth to-morrow.
