SUNDAY TRIBUNE.
Each purchaser of The Sunday Tribune
will receive a copy of the Saturday even-
ing edition.
Nothing from the Saturday evening edi-
tion is repeated in the Sunday edition.
Hence Sunday purchasers, who are not
regular readers, would miss much inter-
esting news. For their benefit the Satur-
day evening edition is inserted.
Regular readers receive both papers and
so do not need to have Saturday evening’s
news repeated.
The Doufisvilu-e Times says: “B’-ytan
drew into a.nd out of Louisville as bis a
crowd as the G. A. R. or Jumbo ever con-
jured up ‘in out miffs--.’ but no G. A. R.

IN BOSTON CHINATOWN.
Boston Traveler.
The proprietors of the Chinese restau-
rants along Harrison avenue seem 'to have
acquired modern methods of doing busi-
ness. The eating (houses there have sprung
up in large numbers 'in a year or two, and
■compet-'tion for the trade of the Melican
man is now quite keen. One I'nstitutiiion on
the street floor has determined to bid for
custom in the Yankee way, and in its win-
dow may be seen two placards, one of
which reads:
“Li Hung Chang, our great statesman,
eats same sort of chop soy we give here.”
And its immediate neighbor declares.
“Some kind of chop soy cooked at Pekin
palace are served here.”
If this is not using the present visit of
the viceroy to good advantage, let us have
a better sample, even from the advertis-
ing- American.

MISSED HIS CALLING.
Globe-Democrat.
I am convinced that Mr. Bryan has
mistaken his vocation. He has all ‘the
qualities of a. first class evangelist. Pure
In his personal life, sincere and earnest
in his religious convictions, without logic
or the true sense of historic perspective,
ne would be a powerful advocate of a re-
ligious system t'hit is 'built upon toe emo-
tions amd. affections of men. As a lawyer
and politician his fervid utterances may
be reviewed 'by the courts and subjected to
analysts by powerful opponents. As a
popular preacher his words would be glad-
ly received by those creeds, and his con-
clusions would not be submitted to the
fiery tests of antagonistic convictions.

Kinley was a Mason,, Templar and Shriner,

William J. Bryan was a member of the

liam J. Bryan belongs to one secret soioi-

lieved every word of toe story. Bryan’s
nomination, he said, was a joke—why not
Randolph’s? This partisan expression pro-
voked a heated discussion between toe free
silver Democrat and the gold man, but
they finally rang off by unanimous re-
quest.
The conversation dragged for a time.
Then one of toe gentlemen spoke. Said
he:
“Friend of mine came to the cotton ex-
change this morning. He approached
another friend of mine and proceeded to
relate his troubles, making use of 'a French
expression* the meaning of wthich he is
wholy ignorant of.
“ ‘Well, I am hors du combat this morn-
ing,’ said he.
“The gentleman he addresed ©looked puz-
zled, hut 'he wasn’t going to 'betray his
ignorance of court language,
“ ‘That’s so?’ .he asked.
“ ‘Yes, my old horse is dead: died last
night.’
“ ‘Too bad, too bad,’ said dais sympathiz-
ing friend.
“They are still wondering why every-
body laughed.”

| THAT REMINDS ME |
The “boys” .assembled'attoe beach again
last Thursday night, and very naturally
the first subject to be broached was the
collision ait Crush. They unanimously
agreed that old Sam Featlherington was
not such a bag fool after all when he made
his “folks” stand back from the track for
feair toe “biler might bust.” After they
had exhausted the subject they talked
politios. The free silver boy aired his
views pretty thoroughly and had some-
thing to say about the part “bar’ls” would
play in the approaching election. After
the commotiiom had subsided the National
Democrat proceeded to remark “That re-
minds me,” and the boys gave him the
ha-ha.

BRYA1N THE FAKIR.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
IMr. William J. ■Bryan has come to Ken-
tucky and Kentueki'ins have taken his
measure
He is a’boy orator. ,
He is a dishonest dodger.
He is a daring adventurer.
He is a political fakir.
He is not the. mate rial of which, the
people of the United States have ever
made a president, nor is he even of the
material of which any party has ever be-
fore made a candidate for the presidency.
Honest (and earnest advocates of free sil-
ver who heard him 'last night must 'in their
hearts be deeply ashamed of their candi-
date. Nor did he once rise to the plane of
serious argument. Not once did he mani-
fest an appreciation of the dignity of his
position. Not once did he treat h'is great
audiences frankly and fairly.
HE “AXED” A QUESTION.
Cleveland Leader.
An Irishman, name not given, went to
hear Bryan recite his speech. Bryan in
1892 promised working mien high wages and
cheap rents, clothing and food if they
would vote for free trade. What he is
promising this year is made clear by the
story of tills Irishman.
When the speech was concluded the
Irishman walked to 'the- platform, seized
Bryan by the hand, and spoke as follows:
The amioiBnc-eiment that tomorrow a
(silver service aaifl Library 'will t>° presented
to the (battle ship Indiana iby the go vernor
and people of the state for which the
vessel' is naoned recalls to mind the move-
ment in this state for a te«t:moniail to the
ha ttl'C ship Texas some months ago.
The boys all started for the bar. One
of them begged for a moment to tell a true
story.
“Friend of mine came to me a few days
ago. Asked me to play a game of poker.
I told him I was broke. ‘I will loan you
enough for a stake,’ said he. I told him I
had an engagement and couldn’t accept
foils offer.
“I met him (the next day. ‘I am ready to
play that game of poker,’ said I. ‘I have
played,’ he replied,’ ”

2. Every depositor in a savings’ bank.

THE STATE TICKET.
A •correspandent of toe 'Houston Post,
writing from 'Hempstead, sums up toe
political situation iin Texas and advises
toe adherents of the 'Democratic state
ticket that they would 'better stop blow-
ing about what -toey will do and begin
doing it.
He is persuaded 'that toe combination
formed iby ail the forces outside toe Dem-
ocratic 1'ainik‘S is most formidable and that
toe ticket headed by 'Gov. Culberson is la
imminent danger as things now stand.
It is assumed that Mr. Keafby will poll
the Populist vote so’idily. 'In 1894 that
vote amounted to 159,224. If Republican-
P'Oipulist expectations are realized Mr.
Kearby 'will receive practically the solid
Republican vote, which is estimated this
year at 100,000 or more. Mr. Kearby 'will
certainly receiive-a large anti-Culberson
silver Democratic vote and 'will ha ve, per-
haps, an equal show for the sound money
Democratic support. Here is the situa-
tion as it really stands .and lofty assump-
tion of 'confidence and vain boasting will
not alter it.
The Tribune does not believe that the
sound money (Democrats who oppose the
Chicago platform and 'ticket as -against
the (best interests of the country have any
idea of assisting 'the effort to turn 'this
state over to the Populists. (Such action,
would belie their protestations of f ealty
to their country and to sound business
principles above party considerations.
The best sentiment and ‘best .interests of
the state are represented in the present
state government, whereas the opposition
represents the worst elements, and no one
could reasonably dlailm that a change
from Culberson to Kearby would be de-
sirable (from >a purely patriotic point of
view.
That the Democratic state ticket is in
some danger of defeat is a fact which
should not be overlooked, for over confi-
dence -always invites disaster, but the
sound money Democratic vote need not
be counted as -a factor in the overthrow of
the present state government. That would
be bad' politics and 'bad business when
there is nothing better to be substituted.

SCARES THE DOG AWAY.
Electric Heel Damp -that Prote-ot-s Bicy-
clists from Annoyance.
■An electric spur for the protection of
wheelmen from annoying dogs is the
latest bicycle accessory upon wihii-c'h let-
ters patent (have been granted, says the
New York Herald. Cyclers have often
sought in vain for -some relief from the
yelping, snapping dog- -nuisance, which
has often inflicted -severe injury upon
wheelmen and women Who were leisure-
ly riding through 'some pleasant country
lane or quiet village street.
lit has often been remarked that the
man wiho would invent some isch-eme to
protect riders would confer a blessing
up-on wheeling humanity. Such -a bo-on
has come mow, and' it is toe simplest
thing imaginable -and at the same' time
most effectual in its results.
It is nothing hut a tiny electric light
which is strapped to the heel in mutch
the same fashion as a spur -and is the
invention of Ignaz Capelle. -Once let a
vicious -dog get near enough and a sud-
den pressure on a 'button connecting by
wire 'with the light turns -a flash -of
brilliant elecitric light full in toe dog’s
eyes.
The sudden flashing of toe light never
fails to put (the surprised. animal to re-
treat, and now the wheelmen are wonder-
ing Why the 'thing was never thought of
before. The wire by Which the light is
operated runs from the -light along -the
pedal bar to a small (battery attacelhd
to any convenient portfiotn of the frame of
the machine. Another wire runs up along
the han die bar and -ends at a 'button usual-
ly placed beside the bell. The. light is pro-
tected from -pio-ssible breakage (by a. light
metal frame of open work, Whiich in no
■way dims its brilliancy.
McKinley democrats in Mexico.
Chicago Times-Herald.
I am improving several coffee planta-
tions for parties in Kansas City, -who pay
me at the rate of $20 per acre per year,
Mexican silver for work -done and general
management, etc. The contracts read pay-
able in -advance, so one Who owns a 50
acre plantation sends me every quarter a
New York draft for- $135, which at the
present rate of -exchange I can sell here
and get my $250 Mexican silver as per
contract. If free coinage should win in the
United States in November the several
owners of planbati-Oin.s would 'have to send
■roe a New York 'draft flor $250, as Mexican
and American money would then be on a
par, or a toss to them Of $460 per year. The
question now is, how are they going to
secure that extra $460? If some of our
silver friends were down here they would
soo-n become convinced that Uncle Sam’s
money was good enough as it is, and want
no change.
BRYAN A MUGWUMP.
Mr. Bryan’s speeches are usually
characterized by his opponents as vapid
and frothy, as utterances which sound
well in the ear of the listener, but found
to be (devoid -of sense or substance when
submitted to analysis.
Occasionally, ho-wever, Mr. Bryan -says
some good things, though he nearly al-
ways spoils the force of them by subse-
quent contradictions, even in the -same
speech, and he ought to have full credit
for the good things he does s-ay.
best things Mr. Bryan has said in any
of lus speeches have been his appeals for
honest thought, fidelity to principle and
well founded conviction, end for abso-
lute independence of party dictation and
disregard of party tifls. Other men, in
other times, wlio^have contended for the
same high standard of indepeiident
(thought and action and for a conscien-
tious exercise of the elective franchise in
oppofsiti-'on to party subserviency and
degradation of manhood, have been
'characterized as “Mugwumps,” but such
an epithet has no terror for the nominee
of three political parties for the presidency
of the A.merican Union.
, In his -speech at Richmond, Va., Mr.
Bryan said:
I am^the nominee of three conventions,
but I do not appeal to the votes of any
man on toe ground that I am nomina ted
by his party. * * * We appeal to no
man to go contrary to- his judgment and
his cor science. * * * I do not ask a
single p-emocrat to- vote for my election
if, in his heart, he believes 'that my elec-
tion would injure h'i-s country. To? me a
party is but a means to- an end. And I
shall not feel unkindly toward any Demo-
crat who honestly and cr-rscientiously
puts his country above his party and
votes against me, if he belieies that the
policy for which I stand would bring
injury to our country.
In the same speech Mr. Bryan strongly
advised those of h'is hearers who oppose
the Chicago platform and ticket to vote
for McKinley as the surest vay of de-
feating the party which threatens the
stability and well being of -the cointry,
and he .intimated a supreme contempt for
'those suffragists who are willing to sac-
rifice their principles and their convic-
tions upon the altar of so-ct.lled party
loyalty.
Such speeches as these tend to elevate
American polities and disenthral Ameri-
can voters, however they may affect the
personal interests of either McKinley or
Bryan. They are conducive to more
judgment and conscience and less party
subserviency in politics. Mr. Bryian will
please continue. __

. “That reminds me,” lie cointiniue-cl, “of a
little ‘barT which went astray in Indiana
■a few years ago. How it (happened -to go
wrong I will tell you.
“One niigiht -a couple of very young men
in toe ‘town in wihiah I was then residing
were out -on a lark. On their way home
in toe wee sma’ hours they were passing
■along a dimly lighted residence street,
when they heard ■approachinng foot steps.
They stopped, listened and, recognizing
the voices of -a pair of their neighbors,
whom they did not particu'larly care to
meet ait tih-ahtim-e, -they sought refuge in
a clump of bushes. The foot -steps came
-nearer, 'and just as they reached a point
Oipposiit-e the place of the young men’s con-
cealment, the gentlemen stopped. It was
■dark, and they conversed in low, guarded
tones.
“ ‘You will have 'to go, Brown,’ said one
of them. ‘The money will reach here to-
morrow (afternoon; it must be at Bankers-
vi'lle before midnight in order that -the
campaign committee may properly -place
it before Tuesday morning. Yout will go
on horseback. Ride -out of town ‘after
dark through back streets where you will
not be apt to meet any one. Keep right
on to within one mile of Bankersville-;
you will there meet Dl'llimount. Turn the
money over to him. Then ride to Erminie,
leave your horse at your brother's and re-
turn home on the 11 o’clock express. If
you flollow these instructions there wi'll be
no fear of our plans toeing disobeyed, and
we will carry Bankersville township.’
“His listener acquiesced, and -after pro-
pounding, -and having (answered, numerous
inquiries, he and ibis 'listener passed on.
The young men emerged from their place
of hiding.
“ ‘Whew!’ exclaimed Charley; ‘that’s a
big find.’
“ ‘Should say it was-,’ Fred agreed.
“ ‘(Square ourselves with our old mien
now. Eih, Fred?’
“ ‘Should say we ought to.’
“ ‘Oh, yes, the Republicans will carry
'Bankersville township Tuesday, won’t
they?’ asked Charley, imitating toe tones
•of the chief co-nspirato-r.
“ ‘I think they will—nit,’ Fred replied.
“On the following morning toe young
men’s governors forgave t'he-ir young hope-
ful’s for their late hours When they learned
that such -excellent work had been done
for ‘our grand -and glorious party.’ One
of the -old mein drove to Bankersville early
in the -day and posited the Democratic cam-
paign committee of that town-ship.
“That niglut the man with the ‘bar’l’
rode out of Riaydien according- to program.
He exercised -the utmost caution and felt
sure ‘he would perform h'is ‘patriotic duty’
satisfactorily.'
“There is a -cross road lined with trees
about four miles short -of Bankersville.
At this point 12 masked men rode out and
pursued the man with (the ‘barT; he rode
hard -and fast, but they gave hot chase,
discharging pistols in the air, and he at
last capitulated, and after being relieved
■of his roll, proceeded in a direction oppo-
site from Bankersville (as fast as his steed
could carry him. Where he went lhe and
the Lord -only knows. He didn’t return
home until after the ■election. The cam-
paign fund had been transferred, -and 'the
result was a Democratic Victory in ’both
Rayden and Biankersville itownsiMips.
“I 'have changed the names, of course,
but the story is true.”
“O'h, to fee sure,” said the boys in
chorus. “Your stories always are true.”

“I -suppose election •stories of fl -
instruments’ are What go tonight,”
marked a free silver Democrat. “I ar
minded of an incident which came to my
notice a -number of years -ago wherein a
young man laboring in the interests of a
candidate for congress unintentio-nally
caused himself to be nominated and
elected. The young man whom I slhal-1 call
Randolph, was employed as a sten-
ographer -and general clerk -by a lawyer
and politician, who we shall say was
named Jackson. The lawyer was with
regularity a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for congress in his district for
several years, invariaibiy witooiut success.
When he secured the service® of Ran-
doiplh, who was an exceptionally bright
but tunasisuming fellow, it wa-s as much for
a campaign manager as for business pur-
poses, and Jackson congratulated himself
that he would sail to Washington in a
storm, so to speak.
“Randolph performed a truly wonderful
amount of work during -the campaign; he
wrote Jackson’s spe-ecihes, -all the news-
paper articles, answered all his corre-
spondence and wrote many letters- opemipg
up new correspondence; he planned every-
thing-, told Jackson where he must speak,
what lhe must say, and wlhat he must not
say. He managed the thing beautifully,
but kept in -the background, giving Jack-
son all tlhe credit. It slho-uild be mentioned
in passing that all the writing referred to
wa-s done upon a machine, Randolph at-
taching a perfect fac-.simile of Jackson’s
signature, when Jackson was absent.
“Every county in the district, save one,
had -a ‘favorite -son’ out for the nomina-
tion, Jackson had the indorsement of his
own county and the one Which was un-
-tnamelled. Besides, Randolph lhad reason-
able assurance 'that his man would get
the votes of the hindmost candidates after
the usual complimentary ballot. A great
campaign had been made, the newspapers
were gushing with compliments of the
fine arguments made by Jackson -and of
the unrimpeaclhable English employed. A
week before the eiecitiion everything looked
lovely.
“It was then that Randolph wrote flour
or five especially -strong letters to party
leaders throughout the district, urging
them to attend the c-o-nvent-ion and work
for Jackson. O-f course, Jackson’s name
was to -be appended.. At the same sitting
Randolph wrote a number of business let-
ters for himself. When he had finished, it
was near midnight. He hurriedly signed
the letters, -addressed and consigned them
to the care of the postal department,
“Nothing voas heard from the gentlemen,
much to Randolph’s amazement. Fin-ally
the convention rolled -around and Ran-
doilph wa-s on hand. He mixed with the
delegates -in a quiet way, ilnquii-ring how'
they stood. They gave him reasonable
■assurance that everything was ‘all right.’
A b-om-b was exploded w-ith the first nomi-
nating speech; it w-as supposed -to be for
Jackson, Tile speaker consumed -about 15
minutes in general refernces to the ques-
tion of t'he hour, and ‘a man who’. He
was tiresome, but when he said ’the m-an
Who’ was a young man, -the delegates were
■all attention. Randolph w-as astounded;
he kn-ew not what to -expect.
. “The -speaker went on referring to toe
young man’s many good qualities; he was
not an office -seeker, but -a-s he was pre-
eminently the man for the position he
should be elevated to it.. There was one
who was to have been a candidate for the
■position, but who ‘had been sailing under
false colors, who had taken advantage -of
(this young man’s ide-as. The speaker felt
sure the convention would select toe man
■who had the ideas and not the imposter.
He cl-ose-d his peiech in -a dramatic manner,
displaying a 'typewritten letter. ‘The
young man’s name is subscribed to this
letter,’ said he. The letter was passed
from hand to hand. Finally the speaker
resumed: ‘The young man whom I place -
in nomination the Hon. William C.
Randqlph. It is h'i-s brilliant ideas, here?
tof-ore -attributed to his employer, that
chal-1 enged our admiration, his logic, h'is
rhe-boric, which we have relished; in short,
it was re-ally Ban-diolph whom we esteemed
and wished to honor. Our mistake has
been disclosed through inadvertance on liiiis
part, and, Mr. ■Chairman, I move his nomi-
nation.’
“By this time Randolph lhad recovered
sufficiently, from 'his astonishment to -ap-
peal for recognition. He asked for an ex-
planation. H-e was -shown -one of the letters
wri-t'tep -to party leaders, and wa-s horri-
fied to find that he had signed, not Jack-
son’s, but his -own name. He attempted
to explain, he wanted to 'tell the delegates
that Jackson 'had really dictated toe letter
and left it for him. 'to sign; that h-e had
made a horrible blunder. But they
wouldn’t hear. The convention seemed to
regard the whole affair as a huge joke
-o-tT*Jackson.; they were disposed to carry
the thing to the limit, -and toey proceeded
to nominate Randolph in -spite of his vig-
orous protest. Did 'he accept? Haveir-t I
told you that he was an extraordinarily
bright young man?”
