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.

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."
