Lebanon Express. H. Y. K1RKPATRICK. Editor - and - Proprieto'.- PEOPLE IN GLASS HOTjSES. The assertion is often made by the gold bug press and speakers, that the respectability and intel ligence of the country favor Mr. McKinley, and that the lawless, bankrupt and anarchist element are the only supporters of Mr. Bryan. That the debt paying, in dustiious and honest part of our population are for McKinley and the rest are for Mr. Bryan. In fact, republican speakers are ad vertised to. address the people of Lebanon on "the anarchism and sectionalism of Bryan." This is untrue and those who make the assertion know it is false. There never was an election, where all the honsty was on one side. There never can be. The "sectionalism" of Mr. Bryan is ridiculous. What section does he favor? Where, in any of his utterances can "section alism" be pointed out? The "anarchism" of Mr. Bryan is a falsehood manufactured . for the occasion. Where has he ever said or done one thing that would justi fy such a charge? This talk comes with but poor - grace from Mark Hanna, the recognized champion of monopolies, all of whom are op posing Mr. Bryan, and zealously aiding Mr. McKinley. Where stands Herr Most, the recognized leader of anarchists? He is an avowed supporter of the gold standard and its nominees.. Is all the respectability of the country monopolized by Wall street and its millionaires? If so, then Mr. McKinley is the candidate of the respectability of the country. But if the laborer, mechanic and farmer are entitled to claim respectability, then Mr. Bryan has some respect able people as supporters. Our own little community should be a fair sample. Can onr republican friends claim all the respectability of the two Lebanon precincts? By no means. No party can claim all the honesty and respectability of their, or any other community. McKinley buttons, as well as Bryan buttons, are worn by un principled men. Let us be Ben si ble and concede to each other what belongs to each. DRUMMERS. A great blow is being made that the commercial travelers are solid for McKinley. The following, clipped from the St. Louis Repub lic, will be of interest: Resolved, That we, the true traveling salesmen, who have studied the financial problem from an unbiased standpoint, and who are from both parties, emphatically deny the assertion made by the Chicago delegation of traveling men, wbo on their recent visit to McKinley pledged the entire sup port : of the Western trveling . salesmen to the republican ticket; and we further declare their "ina bility to deliver the goods." A correspondent to an Iowa paper says: "What the country needs is not more money, but an extension of banking facilities. A clearing honse system could be de vised which would be practicable for individuals as well as banks. Certificates of indebtedness could be exchanged and balances only be paid in money, or its represent atives. If gold is renlly too scarce and too dear, such a system would lessen the demand and make it cheap, while values of commodi ties would assume natural rela . tions to each other. The settle ment of accounts would be greatly facilitated and business would move along more briskly." How about the extra expense of running the clearing houses? It would seem to us a cheaper method to make more money, by free coin age of silver, and then no clearing houses for individuals would be needed.

Also have Just received a large amount of saw The Expkkss takes pleasure in acknowledging a receipt of a copy ptthe Lebanon Truth, a weekly paper published here during the campaign by the republican club in the iuterest of the gold standard ticket We take no stock in its arguments, but freely acknowledge it to be a most creditable journal. Dr. J. A. Lambersnn, the editor in chief, is a worthy representative of the republican party, and wears with becoming modesty the burden of honors heaped upon him by his political associates. Mr. W. M. Brown, a talented lawyer of this place, and Mr. Frank "Nickerson, a forcible writer, are associate editors in the management of the paper. Bear in mind that every voter who wishes to vote for Bryan and silver must cast his ballot for N. L. Butler, E. Hofer, Harry Wat kins and W. H. Spaugh.the' fusion electors. Dout make a mistake and vote for the "national demo crats'the traitors who are trying to assist McKinley by running that poor old back number bolter, Palmer, for president If the gold standard is a good thing, why do the republicans want to change it and have free coinage of silver by international agreement? What is the use of changing from a good thing? The declaration of international bi metalism in the republican plat form, is merely a Bubterfuge to catch votes. The hop-raiser haB a protective tariff of 8 cents a pound, but he has the hardest kind of work to get 5 cents a pound for his crop. Why does not the patriotic McKinleyite give the producer at least the duty? The toriff protects some people, but not the producer. The blessing falls to the lot of the rich manufacturer and monopolist. Caasius M. Idleman, 13,000, W. S. Dnniway $2,500, total M8.00 per day at public expense, out lecturing for sound money, says the Salem Journal. And it is aince learned that Bob Hendricks, super intendent of the elite reform school, has joined the speaking aggrega tion. Bryan supporters are called "popocrats." This does not sound very pretty, but it is just as melo dious as "Hanna crats." The imported gold bug orators con sume almmt one half Ilieir time In explaining why they flopped from silver to gold, but they forget to give what is often the true reason, their self interest. For install, Ueuator Mitchell has convinced the state that he has flopped in order to help him to the United States senate. Many change their position by reason of an honest change of convictions. But, if the truth was known, selfish ambition actuates many of our promi nent men.

SLANG WORDS AND PHRASES. Tha ortgla ot "flutsldw, "Yo'fa a Data?" and "Too TMa." "Dim" la a word whose meaning Is bow known to everyone, who under stands the English language About the boginning of the eoutury, says the Boston Post, a constable in England named John I Kin became colobratad as a iirst -class collector of bad accounts. When others would fall to collect a bad debt, Dun would be sure to get it out of the debtor. It soon passed into a current phrase that when a person owed money and did not pay whon asked, he would have to be "Dunned. Hence it soon became common in Buch cases to say: "You will have to dun So-and-so if you wish to collect your money." Until the nomination of Franklin Reroe for the presidency the word "outsider" waa unknown. The com mittee on credentials came to make Its report and could not get into the hall because of the crowd of people who were not members of the convention. The chairman ot the convention asked If the committee was ready to report, and the chairman of the committee an swered: "Yea, Mr. Chairman, but the committee is unable to get inside on account of the crowd and pressure of the outsiders." The newspaper report era took up the word and used It , "You are a daisy," is used by Dickens in "David Copperfield" in the sense of calling a person a daisy in the way to express admiration and at the same time to laugh at one's credulity. Bteer- forth sayatoyoungumperlleld: "David, my daisy, you are so innocent of the world. Let me coll you my daisy, as it is so refreshing to find one in these corrupt days so innocent and unso phisticated. My dear Copperficld, the daisies of the field are not fresher than you." "Too thin" was given ourrenoy by Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, in the United States congress in 1870. Borne members had made a reply to Mr. Stephens, and the latter had his chair wheeled out in the aisle, and said in that shrill, piping voice which al ways commanded silence: "Mr. Speaker, the gentlemen's arguments are gratu itous assertions made up of whole cloth and cloth, Bir, ao gauzy and thin that it will not hold water. It is entirely too thin, air." AMERICAN FOOD AND COOKING. Soaaa Bamarkabla Ntalumanto la a Recent Franca bevlaw Hot ilorae Out by 1 net. The ignorance of French writers who treat of matters relating to the United States is generally very mueh in evi denco. One of them in a recent isnue of the Itevue Scientifiqtie, writing upon the subject of onr edible turtles and incidentally of cookery in this country, makes the Btatement that green turtles are taken in the neighborhood of New York from there to Florida. lie also asserts that it is only in aliments of aquatic origin that our food products are superior to those of Europe, that our fishes are abundant and generally good, but that our culinary treatment of them is inferior. As regards our meats, poultry and game, the French man dismisses them as little worthy of attention. Of the first two it may be conceded, says the Kew York Sun, that the average quality is not so high as in France. His estimate of our game is probably bused upon the condition in which it reauheB European markets, where it is sold in huye quantities in the close season here. This eKtimato ia not a fan- one, inasmuch as almost all of our game which goes abroad has. previous to shipment, been held for months in coldsturugo warehouses, to its deterioration both in quality and llavor. As regarus our native cookery. the French writer asserts that there is not much in it to tempt a European particularly, and especially a French man. While this may be true concern ing the country at large, an exception must be made in favor of the native cookery of Maryland and eastern Vir ginia and that of the Creole population of Louisiana, which, within its com pass, ia second to none. The fact must not be lost sight of that in the last decade culinary skill with us has made great advances, the results of which would not be apparent to a superficial foreign observer. A case in point illus trative of our progress in this direction is offered in the alimentary department of our exchanges for woman's work. Within the restrictions which it im poses, the edibles there on sale, the work of native feminine bread winners, are promptly bought by dUscriminating purchasers, so tar are they superior to foreign preparations of a similar character. Sinn-Eating Wild Man. In the celebrated "Travailcs" of Ed ward Webb (151)0) are dozens of stories that would make Joe Mulhatton turn green with envy. One of the most cele brated of these is his story of the wild men of Prester John, which ia as fol lows: "In the court of Prester John there is a wilde man, and another in the high stroet of Constantinople, whose allowance is every day a quarter of raw mutton; and when any man dyeth for some notorious offence, then they are allowed every day a quarter of man's flesh, These wilde men are chained fast to a post evory day, the one in Prester John's court, the other in the high street of Constantinople, each of them having a muntcll about their shoulders, and all over their bodies they have wonderful long hairc. They are chained by the neck lest they speed ily devour all that Cometh withi their reach." Haehwiloal CnrlMltlas. Partus L. Oofl, of Pawtuokot, B.
