. She Showed Him.
'Out in the midway district, Minne-
apolis, there is a tall Swedish wash-
erwoman who has a keen sense of
right and wrong, and she put her
views into practical effect the other
day in a very positive sort of way.
She was walking along on University
avenue, when she was overtaken by a
bicycle rider who had more speed
than courtesy. In place of turning out
he rode up to her and pushed his
wheel along so that it struck her, but
did not throw him ed. 2
“I tank I show you how to get off
a wheel,” she said, with fire in her
voice, “ yes, I tank I vill,” and as
she spoke she projected one of her
feet at the end of a long and very
sturdy leg, and kicked the wheel from
under the rider. He fell into the dirt
at the edge of the sidewalk as he
walked on, and the wheel located it-
self on his stomach.
'And all he could hear as he picked
himself up and caressed {his bruises
wasa' voice coming to him from a tall,
swift: striding Swede: _
“Ya, ya, I tank I show him; I tank
so.”- ~ -

Specimens .of the his“ “Tho Are Daily
Coming Home to National Democracy.
From the Chicago Chronicle of Oct.
20: Simon P. Sheerin, for many years
secretary of the national Democratic
committee and one of the most distin-
guished Democratic leaders in Indiana,
has publicly expressed his antagonism
to the ticket. He could not stand Pop-
ulism. I was informed in Indianapolis
that ex—Lieutenant Governor Nye, and
there is no more popular leader in the
party, Was likewise ready to inform the
public that he could not support the
ticket. There are others, So far as my
observation has gone I believe that
more Democrats will desert Bryan on
account of the fusion with Populists
than they can possiblymake upthrough
-Populists’ votes that will come to him
from the “middle of the road” faction.
From an interview in The Chronicle
of Oct. 21: “Yesterday Sterling R. Holt,
former chairman of the [Indiana] state
committee, publiclyrenounced the Bry-
an ticket. Mr. Holt resigned the‘ chair-
manship of the state committee be-
cause he said he did not believe in sil-
ver. But nobody can doubt that as a.
Democrat he intended to vote for Bry-
an until the announcement that there
had been a fusionrof interests between
Populists and silver Democrats caused
him to bolt clear out of the party and
announce his intention of voting for
Palmer and Buckner. I personly
know a number of Democrats whohave
taken the same step as Mr. Holt, but I
am not at liberty to mention their
names.”
New York, Oct. 19.—William A.
McAdoo, assistant secretary of the
navy, has written a letter to
W. J. Curtis, 2. member of the Demo-
cratic national committee of New Jer-
sey, on election issues. The letter is in
response to a. request for a public ex-
pression of his views on the same. Mr.
McAdeo declares he is unable to sup-
port the Chicago convention nominees
and platform, because he is thoroughly
convinced, he says, that the doctrines
therein are unsound and dangerous
and would work incalculable injury to
the whole people of the republic.
' Ishpeming, Mich., Oct. 19.——Rev. T.
Cory Thomas, rector of Grace Episcopal
church, has joined the rapidly growing
army of clergymen who openlydenounc‘e
Bryanism and urge McKinley’s elec-
tion. The political stand he has taken
is indorsed unanimously by his congre—.
gation.
Bishop Williams of Marquette one
week ago preached a political sermon
against Bryan’s demagoguery which
was denounced by outsiders, but is
strongly approved by the great major-
ity of the communicants of the church
inthis diocese.
Champaign, 35., Oct. 19.-—Ex-
Congressman Busy of Urbana,
1115., a, life-long Democrat, who de-
feated J. G. Cannon for congress in
1890, has taken the stump against Bry-
an. He spoke at a. Republican meeting
at Flatville Saturday evening and is
‘ posted by the local sound money com-
mittee for three speeches this week.
The Achievements of National Democracy.
The host fruits of the labors of the In-
dianapolis convention of the National
Democratic party can be epitomized in a
single sentence: “he buried sectionulism
forever with military honors; we defined
the American monetary standard of value
in absolute terms without equivocntion;
we registered Democracy’s stern protest
against the pernicious proposition to con-
vert the mine owners of a section into the
mint-masters of a nation.—C. Vey Holman
in Boston Transcript.
WHERE SILVER IS THE STANDARD.
Gamblers Speculate on the Daily Quota-
tions of the Value of Money.
Dr. Edward Bedloe, ex-consul to
China, made an interesting address be-
fore the Herbert Spencer club upon
“Silver in the Far East.” He said the
eastern mind is practical and business-
like, and, in using silver as a. medium
of exchange, does so by weight. The
expression ‘teal,’ which you read about
so frequently, is merely a weight and
not a. coin. By doing this they give
full play to the law of supply and de-
mand. It has few advantages, but
many disadvantages. The chief disad-
vantage is that the value changes from
day to day, and in doing any business
with the civilized nations you are com-
pelled to wait until the price of silver,
which is set in London, is telegraphed
by cable to the city you. are in. Every
day and even twice a. day these quota-
tions from the London silver market
are flashed into the furthermost cor-
ners of Japan, China, India, and the
smaller silver countries of the extreme
Orient. Thus if. you are sending home
$100 to your wife or daughter in New
York from Hong Kong or Shanghai, it
costs you one day 195 silver dollars and
the next day 197. Worse than this is
the gambling based upon the fluctua-
tion in the market. Men buy and sell
millions of silver for future delivery.
At one time the speculation was so
tremendous that almost every mer-
chant in the east was engaged in it.
Finally, in 1891, there came a. crash.
Hundreds of firms, large and small,
were ruined and millions of dollars
were swept out of existence.”-—From
the New York Mail and Express.
SENATOR HOAR REBUKED.
Leading Boston Republican Paper Depre-
, cates His Partisan-hip.
In rebuke of Senator Hoar’s partisan
attack upon Democrats, in a recent
speech, the Boston Transcript, a Re-
publican paper, says “this is not the
time for such things,” and adds: “Be-
sides, when Mr. Hoar speaks of the
McKinley Democrats as having ‘come
out’ from their party, we take him to
be in error. We take it the day after
McKinley is elected they will begin to
fight his particular Republicanism,‘
and we should have less respect for
them if, being conscientious Demo-
crats they took any other course."
The’ speech, however, simply shows
that “Grandmother” Hoar is as much
a partisan as ever, regardless of the
serious crisis through which the coun-;
try is passing.
“Warned Against Day of Doom.
When the crash comes, as it will in a.
month, the indestructible spirit of De-'
mocracy will not be. in the wreck. The
masqueraders in the name of .Democ-
racy will find their idol to be only a:
grinning political skeleton. Democrat!
who desire to be spared humiliation of
worshiping the skeleton of Democracy
and not the substance should discon-
nect thenflelves at once from are Chi-
cago movement. The future of Democ-
racy lies only with the Indianapolis or-
ganization.—Utica Observer.
