TALMAGE SAYS SILVER WILL
WIN.
oIt the silver people win, I believe
there will be such a reyival in business,
I
ing up of commercial interests. that the
country will be sure to prosper.�
These.words were spoken by the
Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, at East-
hampton, L. L., after a long tour of the
Southern States.
The reverend gentleman is a keen
ebserver, und can see which way ths
wiud blows. ag quickly, and with as
much certainty as the shrewdest of pol-
iticians. He does not only preach to
the people, but he mingles with them,
feeling the popular pulse and searching
the hearts of his countrymen.
Dr. Talmage arrived at Easthampton
on Friday last from Chautauqua, where
he had attended an educational conven-
tion. Not only in the big cities did the
Doctor mingle with the residents, but
in remote and sparsely populated dis-
tricts and in minor townships and _yil-
lages.
ALMOST ALL FOR SILVER.
oDuring my eatire trip,T he said, o1
did not find more than one or two men
who were not silverites. The unanim-
ity was astounding. The sentiment
down South is universally for the white
metal. Bryan and Sewall will get a
very large vote from that section of the
eountry.�
Dr. Talmage is too little or too much
of a polisician to come out flatfooted for
free silver, but his utterances are per-
haps sufficiently signiticant to show the
tendencies of his personal feelings.
«My associations and taining and
my political affilations of the past place
he cautiously said, and then, as a twink-
le came into his eye, he added: ~But
I certainly believe that instead of dis
aster and ruin following in the wake
of the silver movement, the opposite
will be the result.
oI am not advocating that side of the
political question,� said the diplomatic
divine, obut Ido not believe, with a
good many of my Christian friends,that
in the success of that movement. the
evuntry will greatly suffer.�
~This is a strong nation,� he added.
oWe are engaged in a great political
campaign, and it will ill betit me to be
a strong pattisan on either side.
There are honest, Christian, patriotic
men on both sides, and the life of the
country and welfare of its interests wil]
be a great incentive to lead men in the
right direction. I have great taith in
the people of this country, and it is a
fact that the people ofa vast southern
and western tract are vehemently in: fa.
vor of silver.� :

pockets of the cotton raisers. The tar-

to prevent being squeezed by the trust

the South "A few years ago we were
confronted by a gigantic monopoly, the
bagging trust, which endeavored to
force from farmers thousand of dollars,
which in their depressed condition they
could ill aitord to lose. By united ef-
torta among the farmers this evil was
averted and the huge octopus which
had fastened itself on the agricultural
industry was destroyed. To-day we
are confronted bya similar trouble.
The manufacturers of cotton ties have
formed another grand combination and
without any reason, except to gratify
unlawtul greed, have entered into an
agreement to advance the price of their
gonds 100 per cent. If the price of
iron had advanced tuere might be some
reason far this action, but iron was
never cheaper, and the same must be
said of coal anc labor.

himself to the heights of ~popularity,
and then draws up his. friends with

ments for the big meeting are, however

tickets of admission necessary to get
{into the garden, but all the :eats will
be reserved. There are 6,500 regular
seats inthe garden, and in addition to
these will be 2,500 chairs placed in the
body of the garden. ~These seats and
chairs will be reserved until 7:45 oTcloek

_
August 12th is the Date.
Lincoln, Neb., July 29."Upon re
ceipt of intelligence from New York to-
day that the hall at Madison Square},
Garden could be secured tor that date
Mr. Bryan announced that he will re-
céive the notification committee of the
Democratic National convention there
August 12. He was unable to say just
when he will leave thisT city for the
East, over what -route he will make
the trip, or how long he expects to be
en route.
oIt is known that Mr. Bryan is now
preparing his speech of acceptance of
the-nomination. He expects to lay in.
his New York speech the ground work
for the campaign and it is beheved that
up to the date of its..delivery no. man
will learn from his lips just what he
may be expected to do in relation to
the Populist nomination. Possibly he
may not even then deciare himself, but
it is believed that he, will then give
some intimation of his plans in relation
to the Populistic nomination.
Further than the above announce-
ment there was nothing given out from
the Bryan home to-day for publication ,
There.was an apparent. lull in the tide
of visitors. Chairman Lane, of the
Silver party National committee, was
at the Bryan home during the day.
There was one party of visitors from
j oMississippi.
There has been something of a de-
crease in the:magnitude of Mr. BryanTs
~correspondence. Ever since his re-
turn from Uhicago the greater portion
of each.day has been spent at his desk,
dievating responses.to. Jetters . and tele:
grams. A corps of five clerks ~and
~stenographers has aided him and it was
only to-day that they began to see their
way to the bottom of the great mass of
mailsbetore them.

fhere Was a Vast Difference In the Two
Cases In Question.
The other day at Montezuma
while two citizens were conversing
at the depot a negro approached and
addressed one of them as follows:
~*Kurnel, I hTar yoT wants to git a
man out on de plantasbun.�T
~*Yes, I want a man out there,�
replied the colonel as he looked the
negro over. ~~Seems to me ITve seen
you before.�T
:**Reekon not, sah. ITzo new roup

~*But ITm sure IT veseon you some-
where. LetTs see. I was over at

~Yes, sah, yoT wuz ober to Perry.�
~*And while there I called at the
jail.�T
o*Yes, sah, yoT called at de jail,
Dey has got a powerful nice jail
ober to Perry.�T
~And while at the jail I saw a col-
ored man who was serving & sen-
tence for stealing a hog.�T
~*No doubt of it, kurnel. ~Yes, yoT
dun saw a cullTd pusson right in dat
jail at Perry.�T
~*And you are the man,�T said the
colonel as he laid his hand on the
negroTs shoulder.

Where to Plant Watermelons.
Several young farmers were.dis
cussing the raising of watermelons,
says a correspondent of the New
York Post. Many opinions were ex-
pressed-as to the most desirable soil,
the best seed, the best fertilizer and
the like, and finally one of the group
accosted an aged colored man who
happened to pass. The question was
stated, and the young man said:
oCome now, Uncle Winter, what
is your opinion about all this? You
must have made many a fine crop
in your time.�
The old manTs eyes twinkled. He
took off his hat, scratched his gray
wool and answered:
oTainTt rightly sure bout de ~low-
ance of fertilizer, neider as to de
~visable kind ob seed what is more
better dan common. But ITs dead

with an encouraging frankness that
threatened havoc to his heart, ~but, �T
she added hastily, as he started to
say something pretty, ~~not any to-

Salphur Showers
In spring, and especially in carly
spring, it frequently happens that
after a shower the edge of every
pool of water in the streets and along
the sidewalks will be bordered by a
rim of pale yellow color. As the
water evaporates this ring remains
as a fine, powdery mass, so much
resembling sulphurgs to have given
rise to the popular name of sulphur
showers. ~This so called sulphur is,
of course, not really sulphur, but
when examined under the micro.
scope is found to be made up of a
mass of the yellowish pollen grains
of pine trees. A writer in Popular
Science News gives an interesting
description of this pollen of the pine
Instead of consisting of a singie
cell, as do most pollen grains, that
of the pine consists of three cells,
the two larger end -ones being filled
with air and the otber contain-
ing. the ordinary fertilizing princi-
ple. The two air containing cells
are larger than the other and act as
balloons to buoy it up in the air.
In pines and allied,trees fertiliza-
tion of the cones, by which th ie
enabled to set and develop , is
ncoomplished by the wind. That is,
eer lien is prodn L
rough the air to the cones, which
are often on separ bey widely distant
trees. Thus it happens that)
the pollen gets up in the higher our.
rents of the air, is carried for long
distanoes and is only brought down
to the earth by the rain, producing
