Lincoln Nab., Nov 5.—Wnn. J. Bry- an today gives out the following state— ment to the public: “No cause ever had supperters more brave, carnest and devoted than those who have espoused the cause of bimet= allism. ‘Chey have fought from con— vietion and have fought with all the zeal whieh conviction inspires. Events will prove whether they are right or wrong, Having done their duty as they suw it, they have uothing to regret. The Republican candidate has been heralded as the advance agen of pres- ‘nerity. i the policy brings real pros- perity to the American people, those who opposed him will share in that |prosperity. If, on the other haud, his | policies prove an injury to che people generally, these of Lis» supporters who do not belong te the office-bolding class, or to the privileged cuss, will suffer in common with those who op- posed him. The friends of bi-metailism have not been vanquished ; they have simply been overcome. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy ot the money-changers against the welfare ct the human race, and until convinced of their error, they will con— tinue the warfare against it. “The contest has been waged this year under great cmbarrassments aud against great odds. The money qdes- tiou has been the paramount Issue. The Republican convention beld out the de- lusive hope 6f international bi-met- alli, while the Republican leaders labored secretly for gold mone—met- allism. Gold standard Democrats have publicly advocated the election of the ludianapolis ticket, while they labored secretly for the elecuion of vhe Repub- lican ticket. The trusts and corpora- tions have tried to excite a fear of law lessness, while they themselves have becn defying the law, and American (naneers have boasted that they were the custodians of national honor, while they were secretly bartering away tne nation’s financial dependence. But in spite of the eflorts of the administra— tion and iig supporters, 10 spite of the threats o: the money-loaners at home and abroad, in spite of the cgercions pracuced by corporations, and in spite of the influence ot a hostile daily press, pi-metallism has almost triumpbed in its first great fight. ‘The loss of a few States, and that, 100, by avery small plurality has defeated bi-metallism for the present, but bimetallism emerges from the contest stronger than iy Was tour months ago. «I desire to commend the work of the three national committees which have joined in the management ot this cam— paign. Co-operation between the mein. bers of distinct political organizations is always difficult, buvit tas been less so this year than usual. Interest in a common cause uf great importance has reduced friction to a minimum. I here- by expless my persenal gratitude to the individual members, as well as the executive officers of the netional com— mittee of the Democratic, Populist and Siiver parties for their efficient, unar- ing and unselfish labors.

Our hearts have been touch— ed by the devotion of friends, and our lives shall prove our appreciation of che aftection of the plain people, an affec— tion which we prize asthe richest re— ward which this campaign hes brought. “In the face of an enemy rejoicing in its victory let the roll be called foe the next engagement and urge all friends ot bimetaliism to renew their right, and I believe we are, we shall yet Until convinced of their er— of bi-metallism Let all silver clubs triumph. ror let all advocates continue the work. reta'n their organization, hold segular meetings and circulate literature. Our opponents have succeeded in. this cam— paign and must now put their theories to the test. Instead of talking mys— teriously about ‘sound money’ and an ‘ionest dollar, they must now advocate and defend a financial system. Every step taken by them should be publicly cousidered by the silver clubs. “Qur caus has prospered most where the money question has byen long>st discussed among the people. During the next four years it will be studied all over this nation even mor: than it has been studied in the past. “Phe year 1900 is ust far away.

Ni eer = * Ra oy ae M°URNING FOR OUR COUNTRY. _ Cesarmeneminen _ We confess to our mourafal- ness today. Hape is smothered in sorrow. Exultation has given place to despair. The down trod- den are lower down than ever | before in cur history. But for —“ faith 12 an overruling Providence ‘we would despair of our. country _ and its institutions. ‘Once, betore in our history we - have known a somewhat siwiliar condition. Once before, in 1844, Henry Clay met defeat as unex-— pectedly asdid W.J. Bryan on Tuesday. “Pick your flints and try again,” said he. God rules in all things and we bow in sub- -chastisement on Tuesday as a blessing in disguise. He may not have meted out to us the fall - measure of his wrath, and he can not surely find a better instru- ment to afflict us as anation, than the Republican party. We bow ln humble submission to his wrathfui indignation, aud we in- voke his mercy while he pours out the vials of his displeasure from the cup of Republicanism which be holds iu his bands. Bat after all, the race is not al- ways to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Victory is some- times the handmaid of speedy defeat. As sure as God rnles, Democracy has been a chosen vessel in the history of this coun- try. It-has been the instrument of its progress and prosperity. It bas had severe chastisements but jt has always come out of them _ gtronger, purer, more burnished, brighter, more stalwart and de- termined.

SKINNER. ee GREENVILLE, N. C., Nov. 10 1896. Epitor Reriecror :—I desire the use of your columrs to make a briet and simple statement concerning the unfortunate mention of the name of Gov. Jarvis in the joint discussion at Greenville, Oct. 14th, ult., between Hon, W. H. Lucas and myself. The rule cf debate agreed upon be tween Mr. Lucas and myself in arrang- ing our joint canvass was that the party closing in his last reply should intro- duce no new matter, and should eontine his remarks strictly m reply. This day Mr Lucas closed the de- bate. In his last fifteen minutes re- joinder he violated the rule. of debate by introducing the subject of “vacation clerks” and said on the subject as I now recall “that Skinner, as I have been informed (naming the , parties) heard Gov. Jaryis say that he saw and heard Skinner lobbying for the biil viving vacation clerks salary and in fifteen minutes afterwards le was ou the floor making a specch against the bill.” lt Mr. Lueas tad have introduced ment and his recent statement publish— +} won't be no jails. in my rejoinder to have met this false charge ina deliberate, orderly and con- vincing manner, satisfactory to all and offensive to none. But coming as it did surprisingly, in violation of the rules uf debate, array— ing ihe influential evidence of Gov Jar- Yis, an acknowledged personal triend | against me in his absence, wader au in— tense partisan excitement and pressure. ava moment when I had no opportunity of reply, I could nut have been ex- pected to have controlled my thouglits or «xpressed them in meusured terms. I simply lost my usual temper and em- ployed profane epethets in connection with the name of my ktown personal friend, Gov. Jarvis, tor which I have been and am contritely sorry and take this method of apologizing to him for for using such language. With this statement I now deny having denounic- ed “Gov. Ja’vis as a damnable liar” in the sense as was wired over the State and published in the press to my injury. I simply said (under the irritation and provocation surrounding me) that le er any one else that made the statement as used by Lucas “was a daninable liar.” I aid not, I could not believe that Gov. Jarvis had made such a state. in the RertectoR Nov. 6th, coufirms my belief and sausfies me that he, to- gether with myself, has been wronged, and that he never made such a charve against me. Under any circumstanees I should not have used such denunciatory lan- guage concerning or in connection with such an honorable and taithful public servant and excellent Christian gentle— man as all know and acknowledge Gov. Jaryis to be. Harry SKINNER. A New Movement- Jailor—“Come, now! I want you all to understand there will be no insurbordination toerated in this jail while I’m in charge.” Convict—“Get off your perch, old man!

It is much fre- quented by English and Americans, and thither resorted a young Ger. man to learn English as she is spoke, He confided to my friend that he got along pretty well with the ex- ception of one word. This word was used constantly, and from the con- text he judged it was a general term applied to food. He had looked up the word itself in the dictionary and had looked it up under the head of “‘food,’’ but without success. He noticed it was used when the plates were passed fcr meat, fish, vegeta- bles or what not. ‘‘When I asked what this strange word possibly could be," concluded my friend, “‘the young German said: ‘S’more. Please give me s’more.’ ’’—Chicago Post.

Talking Dogs. There are but two recorded in. stances of dogs having been taught to articulate words in such a man- ner that they would resemble those uttered by a human being. The most famous of these cases was that of the celebrated “talking dog of Zeitz.’’ The owner of this intelli. gent canine, a small boy living in Zeitz, Saxony, imagined that his dog’s voice strongly resembled cer- tain words and sounds made by men. Acting on this hint he soon trained the animal, a hig Saxon mastiff, to distinctly utter some twenty odd German words and about & half dozen from the French lan- ‘guage. Although the young trainer devoted much time and patience to this queer task, he never succeeded in enlarging his pet’s vocabulary above 380 words. ‘ A rival to the famous ‘‘talking dog of Zeitz’’ was exhibited in Hol. land in 1718, Besides pronouncing several words the Holland beast could articulate the names of all the letters of the alphabet except 1, m and n.—-St. Louis Republic. The Paonograph In 1660, A few months ago, while amustng myseli with Cyrano do Borgerac’s ‘Historie Comique des Etats et Em- pires de la Lune et du Soleil” (Paris, 1660), I was amazed to come across the matter quoted below, which surely foreshadows the pho. nograph as closcly as do Bacon’s - words the steamship and railway. Lhe author (De Bergerac) is ona voyage over the moon. Left alone a little while by his guide, the latter gives him to help him while away the hour some books toread. The books, however, are different from any seen on earth. They are, in fact, little boxes, which Cyrano thus describes: | with long brown bair ‘On opening one of these boxes 1 found I know not what kind of metal (apparatus) similar to our clockwork, composed of I know no how many little devices and imper ceptible machinery. It was a book, certainly, but a most marvelous one which has neither leaves nor char. acters—a book to understand which the eyes are useless—one needs only use his ears. When he wishes to read this book, he connects it by a sort of littlenerve tohisears. Then he wishes to hear, and immediately there emerges from the instrument as from the mouth of a man or from & musical instrument all the words and sounds which serve the grands lunaires for language.”’ I will say further that Cyrano an. ticipated many of the inventions and conceptions of modern aero. nauts. No wonder that he was con. sidered by his contemporaries as Monthly. ODD RITES OF FAKIRS, The Carieus Religious Ceremonies That ~ Are Practiced In India.

Ox- |idized copper finish seems to be preferred now for articles of modor- ate cost, but silver plated brass and bronzo, gold plated bronze and bronze with oxidized silver finish or verd antique finish are used in the most costly houses. The demand for cast iron, wrought iron and steel, with dull black finish, has increased to soms extent, but they are the only methods that can be used appropri- ately in scme instances. Designs that are in harmony with the colo. nisl style of architecture have been produced, and they are severely plain when alongside some of the | designs from the French school. | Polishing and hand chasing make | the cost of hardware mount up, but the niceties of casting have been de- veloped so much in recent years that somo plates and other articles necd only to be cleaned with sand and touched in spots with files and emery paper. The process used in finishing some of the metal is, through the fumes of acids, danger- ous for the workmen, but in the foundries and machine shops the smiths and machinists may work for many years without loss of health. In one foundry in Connecticut are smiths who are robust and skillful at 60 years of age, and in the ma- chine shops adjoining are many old | workmen, some of whom have made such valuable improvements on ma- chines for making locks that the at- tachments or devices have not beon patented owing to the fear of having them stolen or copied. The company and the faithful old workmen keep the secrets.—New York Times. The Poets and Thunder, Byron, in the third canto of *‘Childe Harold,” describes a thun. derstorm ‘in Switzerland which oc- curred at midnighton June 13, 1816. He notices the awful stillness which precedes it: All heaven and earth aro still, though not in sleep, But breathless, until From peak to peak, the rattling crags among, Leaps the live thunder! Not from one lone cloud, But every mountain now hath found a tongue, And Jura answers, through her misty shroud, eee i Oe joyous Alps, who call to her () The description is too long to quote, and, indeed, too well known, but Sir Walter Scott's criticism on it may not be so well known. He says: “*This is one of the most beautiful passages of the poem. The ‘fierce and far delight’ of a thunderstorm is here described in verse almost as vivid ‘as its lightnings. The live thunder ‘leaping among the rattling ‘crags,’ the voice of mountains, as if, shouting to each other, the plashing of the big rain, the gleaming of the sea, present a picture of terror, yet of enjoyment, often at pted,.but never so well, certain. “!

It was intended to carry the main line through Stamford, but Lord Exeter's senseless pertinacity in ob. stinately rejecting ail proposals caused the directors to change their plans. The line was therefore taken through Peterboro, tothe great ad- vantage of that city, which reaped allthe benofits that Lord Exeter had declined for Stamford. The end of the matter was that in afew years Lord Exeter was obliged to construct at his own expense a branch line from Stamford to Essen- dine on the Great Northern, but this has not proved a lucrative specula- tion, nor has Stamford or the Burgh. ley estate derived much benefit fron it. . Lord Exeter also embarrassed himself by keeping a large and cost- ly racing stud and by a too extrava- gant mode of living, so that tho family estates were considerably in- cumbered when he died in 1867 and he had alienated the London prop. erty. His reception of the queen and cost a frightful sum, which he could ill afford. Some of the art treasures iave been sold, but the stately house still contains Verrio’s finest ceilings, the suparb carvings by Grinling Gib. bons and some nobie works by Hol- bein and Carlo Dolei. — Londen reese SAMNK and Mxpana, Porhaps it is moro interesting than strictly useful to know that the di. ameter of trees not only varies from summer to winter, but from day to day. They are larger from noon un. til twilight next morning than from twilight to noon; they are smaller in winter than in summer. Low teroperatures, as well as high, pro- moto e€spriretion. The trees evap- urate from tueir branches In winter, and so the colder the weather the more they shrink.
