THE VITAL QUESTION
Senator J. Sherman's Great
Speech at Colnmbus.
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN OPENED
' Ten Thousand People Listened to a
llaUi Statement of the Financial
Issues of the Ray.
Coi.uMr.i's, ()., Ausr. 15. The Kepub
lican campaign in Ohio was formally
opened today by two monster meetings
in this city. The orators were Senator
John Sherman, Senator-elect J. B. Fora
ker and Hon. Stewart L. Woodford of
Brooklyn, I. Y. The meetings were
held in an immense tent on East Broad
street, the city Laving no auditorium
large enough to accommodate the crowds.
" At the afternoon meeting, fully 10,000
people were crowded into the tent. The
large attendance was a great surprise, as
it was feared the extreme warm weather
would interfere. Governor Bushnell
presided at the afternoon meeting. The
governor made a brief speech. He said
. the people from all parts of the state
were present to open a campaign that
will elevate to the highest office in the
gift of the' people of the United States a
distinguished son of Ohio that man
was William McKinley. The speaker
reminded his hearers that no Ohio can
didate for the presidency, except the
first and greatest of them all, Abraham
Lincoln, was a native of Ohio.
RALLYING TO M'RINLSV.
Populist of Klickitat Who Will Vote
the Republican Ticket.
GtoLDENDAi.K, Wash., Aug. 15. J. M.
Coney, a resident of Goldendale, who
represents an extensive portion of the
Populist party in Klickitat county, and
, voted for James B. Weaver four years
ago, today he declared be would vote
this fall for McKinley and Hobart. He
believes the success of McKinley and
the party that was tried so many years
the only remedy tbat will bring to the
poor man prosperity. Mr. Coney be
lieves the Populist party has retrograded
by an alliance with the party with a
record of failures and a syndicate capit
alized at over $500,000,000 by silver
mine owners. Mr. Coney said :
"The Populist party came into exist
ence to right the wrongs that bad been
perpetrated by corporation greed i but
now it is in the act of aiding the greatest
corporate greed ever known,'' -
' Andrew Jackson Murphy, an old-time
newspaper man, and at one time editor
of the Populist paper in Klickitat, also
a candidate on the Populist state ticket
four years ago, has joined the Republi
can club.
Albert Madsen, a prominent Demo
crat, who ran on the Democratic ticket
two years ago for office, has joined the
McKinley Club, and wears the McKin
ley bat.
- Sixteen to One vs. Nothing to Eight.
The Wiley B. Allen Company have
posted up their show window a letter
just received from George E. Gnswold,
of the firm of ,Lyon & Healy, Chicago,
who, by the way, is a great silver man,
bat who writes that he has a good gold
story to tell:
A silver man asked an Irishman if he
knew what 16 to 1 meant, and the Irish
man said : "You bet your life I am
the man that knows."
"Well, what is it?"
"Well," he said, "you are blowing
and spouting about 16 to 1 before elec
tion, and after election it will be nothing
. to ate (eight). - " v
TALKED TO HIS EMPLOYES.
A Railroad President Speaks
on the
Money Question.
Kansas City, Aug 15. A. E. Stillwell,
president of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf railroad, is the first employer of
any large number of men in this vicinity

dress in opposition to the free-silver
"craze," as he termed it." Mr. Stillwell
declared tbat the free-silver .agitation
had done more harm to the laboring
man had taken more bread out of his
mouth than the civil war. He assured
his employes tbat they would never see
any free-silver men at the bead of any
great enterprises that develop the coun
try and give work to the laboring men.

'"Every. ..time . I com?" to the United
States," said Mr. Hugh Jamison, of Lon
don, England, "I find fresh cause for as
tonishment in the marvelous encrsry of
the Yankee nation. It seems to me that
the people work on this "side for the
sake of work, they appear to regard it
not as a means to an end, but the end
itself. This universal rush and hurry
impresses itself very forcibly on Eu
ropeans. Some years ago I was visit
ing' a friend in Russia, which is a very
quiet country indeed, and, the conversa
tion turning on London, some one re
marked upon the unceasingr activity
and pres3 in the British capital, and how
the people hurried along the street during-
the busy hours of the day. An old
Kussian thereupon, with a grave shake
of his head, observed that he had been in
London once, and that nearly all its cit
izens were mad. I wonder what this
old gentleman would have thought if he
had ever made a pilgrimajfe to Chicago ?
Now, it is questionable in my tniud
whether this traffic pace is a healthy
thing. for a people. Isn't it the pace
that kills? Why not leave something'
for succeeding generations to do? Your
rich .men, instead of settling' on big
country estates and helping- to improve
the rural districts .sppin to nil fliii.r in
the cities, and to continue adding- to !
their fortunes. The mania-for work, for
active endeavor, seems never to- leave
them, and their children inherit the
same tendencies.'V-Washington Post.
A Jewish Wedding: Feast.
There were a great many people coming-
and going- that day at the house
of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben iVassnr. 1
They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had a rijr!it to
enter were welcomed heartily. Pood
was plentifully provided, but the mer
riest hour of each a,y would Ik; after,
sunset, when, the day's work being
done, . all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him vvre sev
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor
tant figure , in that room was Isaac
himself." As master of the house and
as 'ruler-of the feast, he sat at -the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. IIis dress was as simple
as ever, but it seemed to have under
gone a change, he wore it with so grand
an air. He appeared to be .happy, -and
be received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat
ulate him upon the marriage of his son.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was pnst and the shadows be
gan to lengthen in the streets' of Cana.

Still an Open Question. -
In discussing new words and ; the
fact that even well -educated persons are
always coming. upon doubtful terms,
there is a storr of Col". Colt, of revolver
fame, who refused to be daunted even
by a word which did not exist. The
colonel was sitting on the veranda of a
Saratoga .hotel narrating some of his
experiences in Turkey when he went
there to place a 'contract. As he talked,
a pompous person, a judge from some
remote interior region, walked by the
group, occasionally stopping for a mo
ment and then passing on. Suddenly h:
paused, with the serious purpose of
speaking, and asked in solemn, slow
and measured tones: "Does the sultan
cf Turkey,- sir. abatiate himself in his
intercourse with distinguished foreign
ers?" As quickly as if "abatiate"were
as familiar to him as the word" "re
volver, Col, Colt replied : . ""I cannot say,
of my personal knowledge He may
have that reputation." Then as the'
judge, apparently satisfied, passed on
out of earshot, the colonel turned to
the group and asked: "What in time
did he mean?" K very body laughed, but
nobody knew. Outlook.

Here is "a strange true tale," with
the, scene in Georgia, near the flourish
ing town of Covington:. A few years
ago a negro woman living near Coving
ton lost a son, by deaths A week or so'
ago the woman had a dream in which
the son appeared to her and told her
that if she would go to a certain comer
of the house and dig she would find a
flat rock, underneath, which .she would
find a lot of silver money. The woman
awoke and was so much wrought- up
over the vision that she aroused some
of the family and went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig.
Soon the flat rock was reached and re
moved with trembling hands and high
expectation! A small box was re
vealed; this was taken out and opened,
and, to the wonder and astonishment
of all present, it contained 30 silver
dollars. Atlanta Constitution.
