DID it ever occur to the average voter that Bryan is not big enough to properly fill the position of President o." the Unit ed States, with its varied and intiicate interests? He is but 36 years old, and his popularity was achieved solely by reason of his oratorical accomplishments. We want something more than fine ora tory for our President. The United States is a big country, and the interest of the people cover a large range of sub jects and interests. Bryan has but one idea, and that is free coinage of silver; and no one-idea man is fit for President of this immense country. He is un learned in statesmanship and totally un fit to cope with the great questions, home and foreign, that must be met by the President of the United States. We have a number of men in our own county who can take the stump and talk on the silver question by the hour, and gracefully at that; but it has never occurred to any one that they are fit for President. The place is too big and of too much impor tance to be filled by a man whose only claim is that he is a fluent talker. The people want somethijg more weighty than a "boy orator." THREK important events aic scheduled to occur in the twin cities of Minnesota —St. Paul and Minneapolis—during the first week of September. The National Encampment of the Grand Arm)' of the Republic will occur ill St. P.T'L campment oflhe Knights of Pythias in Minneapolis and at Hamline, midway between these cities, will be held the great Minnesota State Fair. Very low passenger rates are announced by all railway companies for these events mak ing a splended opportunity for anyone to visit the Encampments, these young but great cities, the State Pair, and if desired, the whole Northwest. POLITICAL NOTES. Messrs Ritter and Meredith, the candi dates for State Senate, have agreed to hold a conference in Freeport on Mon day, August 31st. Bryan was given an immense ovation in Pittsburg, Monday night, and made short speeches to two crowded houses. In New York, last night, he made a long address to 20,000 people in the Madison Square Ampitheatre or garden, as it is called. Democratic chairman Wi'.ght has re signed. He repudiates the Chicago platform. , Thirty-five States were represented at the Democratic Sound Money conference at Indianapolis, last week; a commitles was appointed to issue a call, and another Democratic ticket is to be put on the field. WITH the exception of the great Krupp gun works in Germcny, the shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad at Altoona are Slid to be the largest industrial estab lishment in the world. Before three years more shall have passed away the Altona shops will be the largest on earth and no other industrial establish ment will begin to equal them in their dimensions and in number of men em ployed. Recently the company prepared plans for large additions and the new buildings will be erected at once. Here after all locomotives -for the Pennsylva nia Railroad and the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg will be built at Altoo na and only repair work will be done at the other shops. COLORADO JS proud to call herself the "Switzerland of America," but the fie quent recurrences of avalanches in win ter and cloudbursts in summer 011 her precipitous mountains and in licr narrow gorges make the resemlance a little too close. Tae Swiss, profiting by deadly experience, now locate their villages in places where they will be safe from both catastrophes, and now-a-days the world seldom hears of fatalities from these causes among tha Alps. The people of Colorado will have to learn the same lesson if such disasters as that at Golden are to 1« avoided in the future. THE first-effect of free silver coinage would be a violent contraction of the cur rency, and such a panic as we have never witnessed. The volume of currency would be reduced by at least one third at a hlow and it would keep the mints busy, night and day, for years, even by doubling their present capacity to fill it up. And for what? To secure a fluctu ating and unstable silver standard, which the ambition of all would be to get rid of as quickly as possible. IT is a pretty safe rule to steer clear of the man who offers you something for nothing. There's a swindle in it somewhere. That is what the free coin age Democrats are doing now. They are offering valuable considerations to the people for nothing. It is a swindle and sensible people won't touch it. THE supreme court of New York has decided that monuments are not subject to liens. The leaning tower of Pisa, is of course, an exception. THE. public debt increased over sio,c:o oeo last month. And yet the Democrat ic party asks the people to continue it in powes for another term! The Silver Millionaires. The Republican congressional commit tee has given out a statement that will not be relished by the adherents of Bry an and Sewall. As is well known, the lep lers of.the Democrats and Populists have been claiming that they have no money with which to carry or. l the cam paign, that there are no wealthy men in the movement to elect Bryan, and that they must rely upon the "dear people to help them out. That these claims were false is well known, as is also the fact that the silver barons of the West are prepared to unload a goodly portion of their wealth in order to elect a man who will permit them to coin 50 ctnts woith of silver and call it a dollar. The congressional committee has pre pared a list of the leading Bryan suppor ters, who, while millionaires, are pre tending to l>e of the masses in order that they may become more wealthy. i:iis list shows the enormous amount of #547." oco.ooo represented by men of this ciass. Here is the list: Hearst estate, California, f-5,000,000. Fair estate, California, f 50,000,cc 3. John Mackay, California, # 40,000,000. Hagan, California, #40,000,000. W. A.

Broadwater estate, Helena, Mont., $5,- 000,000. Senator Heniv M. Teller, Colorado, $2,000,000. Sen? tor Lee Mantle, Montana, $2,000,- COO. The grand total is $547. 000 . 000 - The above total affords ail interesting bird's-eye \ iew of the total wealth of but 22 of the leading silver mine owners of the West, who, either in person or through their agents, have been active in shaping the 16 to 1 plank in the various p'at f orms of the Democratic, Populist and Silver conventions, recently held HI St. Louis and Chicago. To the silver mine owners the election of Bryan and of a free silver Democratic house means millions. Placing the pro duct of their mines at 54,000,000 ounces a year, though it would soon be 100, c x>,- coo ounces, and the government paying them at the rate of $1 29 an ounce, and granting, for the sake of argument it cost them 68 cents an ounce to mine it, the people of the United States would pay into the pockets of the silver miners $4j,0c0,009 per annum, and make great iiKMjopolists of tiic vtrry men who arc crying out against monopolies in their platform. See that Your Deeds are Recorded. There are a great many persons who fail to realize the importance of placing their deeds of record. The law is im perative on this subject and thfc owner of land who fails to cosiply with its re quirements by recording his title, uns {he risk of litigation, and not infre quently such neglect results in the loss of his land. A man in order to have a perfect title is not only required to see that the deed made to him is recorded, but that he from whom he purchases has a record title. Men to frequently pur chase a piece of land, trust a justice of the peace or some other peson to draw 1 deed without an examination of the title, pay their money for it and take their deed and other unrecorded deeds home with them, lay them away in a bureau drawer, trunk or chimney corner, and go on making improvements, thinking themselves secure in tlicir titles. Some day someone will turn up to claim or dis pute their title when they wake up to find their deeds lost or destroyed, or, that by reason of their neglect to record, some other person has procured a title to be recorded prior to theirs, and that such title has the precedence under the act of Assembly by reason of priority. There are many cases of this kind occuring every year, and our law books are full of casts where farmers who have neg lected to record their deeds have been involved in expensive litigation, and in many cases as a penalty for such neg lect have lost their land. Neither lawyers, courts nor juries are to blame for such expense and lors. The law directs that all deeds for lands executed within this Commonwealth shall be re corded within ninety days, and those ex ecuted out of this Commonwealth with in six months from the date of their ex ecution, and every deed and conveyance which shall not be acknowledged and re corded within the time limited "shall be adjudged fraudulent and void against any subsequent purchaser or mortgagee for a valid consideration, or any creditor of the grantor or bargainor, in said deed of conveyances that may have been made aud executed piior to the passage of this act (19th May, 1593,) having been proved and acknowledged as now directed by law, which shall not be recorded in the office for the recordrig of deeds in the county where said lands and tenements and hereditaments are lying and being, within ninety the passage of this act, shall be fraudu lent and void as to any subsequent pur chaser for a valid consideration, or mort gagee, or creditor of the grantor, or bargainor therein." Thus it wi'l be seen that it is important to have old deeds re corded as well as new ones. While a deed may be recorded after the time limited it is liable to be adjudged fraudu lent and void a:> against any other deed, mortgage or judgment which may have been-placed on the record prior to it. As the law now stands no man is secure in his estate without a recorded title. A lawyer of experience says that there are many defective record titles in this coun ty, and that this defect is due in a great measure to the failure of the owners of land to record all deeds in the l'ne of title. livery laud owner who desires to be secure in his possessions, and to avoid disputes and expensive litigation ami the possible loss of Irs land, should see tint all deeds in the line of title are recorded. A little attention to this matter may save him a hundred or perhaps a thousand times the cost of lia\ing his title record ed. He will be ampiy repaid by the security it will afford him should his title be attacked. It will afford him satisfac tion to know that he has a good record title, and lessen expense and annoyance should he desire to sell. Let those who think themselves secure take heed and place their deeds of record, lest in some ungarded moment their titles be found defective, when no lawyer, court or jury can do, what the party himself should have done and the law directed him to do, to make his title good.—G.

DANA TO DOfOCRATSL The Venerable Editor Refuses to Enrourage Anarchy and Socialism. j . • CANNOT SUPPORT BRYAN. War Democrat in '6l and Sound Money Democrat Now. A STRONG PERSONAL LETTER. lie Advises AH Voters of Hl* Party to Vote lor the McKiuley Klectore In th» PreKi-nt Grave frlsin Tho Supreme Duty of tb' Hour Is tlie Overthrow of the Chicago I'latforiu na.l All That It Implies. The venerable Charles A. Dana, the dis- editor of tho New York Sun, refuse? now. when .< rialism anil anarehy threaten the welfare of the people, to sup port the so called Democratic party, pre cisely as in 1861 he refused to support it when it threatened the solidarity of the Union. He then became a war Democrat; was appointed ! v President Dincoln assis tant secretary of /nr. in which position he rendered ines- i -bly valuable service to the country. N w h.- is an honest, sound money D.'nir.rrat, and as such, himself the staunche*t ol Democrats, advises all voters of his part} o vote for the McKinley elec tors. The '.lowing, which appears as a signed editorial in the New \ork Sun, speaks for irs^il: Some personal response seems to lie dus to the numerous friends who have sought from me an expression of my individual opinion as to the duty in the present po litical campaign of those who adhere to tho principle- which hitherto have char acterized the Democratic party. The declaration of notions adopted in the name of the Democracy by the Chicago convention is for the most part so hostile to the doctrines which have prevailed in tho Democratic party lu the past, as to de mand its rejection by ali those who would not abandon the Democracy's essential ideas and best traditions. The Chicago platform invites us to es tablish a currency which will enable a man to pay his debts with half as much property as he would have to use in order to pay them now. This proposition is dis honest. Ido not say that all the advo cates of the free coinage of silver are dis honest. Thousands of them, millions, if thore be so many, are doubtless honest in intention. But lam unable to reconcile with any ideal of integrity a change in the law which will permit a man who has "borrowed a hundred dollars to pay his debt with a hundred dollars, each one of which is worth only Iralf as much as each dollar he received from tho lender. The Chicago platform sanctions the uso of the appointing power of the president In such a way as to control the federal judiciary In deciding questions of consti tutional law. It contemplates a change in the personnel of the supreme court of the United States, to the end that the re cent decision declaring the income tax un constitutional may l>e reversed. Strange times, indeed, aro these, when a man is told that, In order to be a Democrat, he must favor the Imposition of nn income tax and the destruction of tha independ ence of the judiciary! Still more alarming Is the im plied approval of lawless viol-;i'\" con tained in the denunciation of wh.it Is denominated in the platform "govern ment by injunction." Veiled in the lan guage of moderation, the wild lifcht of anarchy shines through. In my opinion, without reviewing the Chicago platform further, the declarations in regard to the currency, the supreme court, aud the income tax, and the repres sion of forcible lawlossnoss by tho aid of injunctions, are enough to demand its re jection by all good citizens and the defeat (>f the candidates who stand upon it. I regret exceedingly to find o disposition qu'te prevalent to array the wast against the east in the discussion of th.-.-.e matters. 1 sec no occasion for making our differ ences sectional. Here there is no political hostility toward the west, such is ex pressed toward tho east by some western newspapers and public speakers, (rood citizens can perhaps best aid tho cause of honest money and law and order by de voting more time to rational argument and less to inefficient abuse. All questions relating to the tariff have become insignificant for the time being, in view of tho possibility, however slight, that the abhorrent principles of tho Chi cago platform may prevail. Tho duty and the necessity to compass the final over throw of that platform by assisting in the defeat of William J. Bryan are most im perative and solemn. This may most, eer tainly be accomplished Uy voting for the electors pledged to the support of William McKlnley, but I have no quarrel with any Democrat who adopts auy other course which seems to him equally well adapted or better adapted to the same end. C. A. DANA. Free Silver and the MUnion*. The foreign missionary boards are very properly agitating a question which may confront them in caso the gold standard should not be maintained in this country. Those familiar with tho organizations al luded to know that the salaries of mis sionaries, the expense of sustaining tho missions, their schools and churches, In cluding everything, must be paid in gold. The boards are forced to do business on a gold basis. It is stated that even banks In China will not recognize a draft for the payment of missionary expenses unless it Is marked "gold." Of course, if the silver craze succeeds at the approaching elec tion, the missionary societies of all denomi nations will have to cut down their ex penses one-half or receive twice as much from their constituents. Nearly all these organizations are still struggling with debts. Tako the American board, for ex ample. Six months ago it was free from debt, but »he figures just made public giv ing tho receipts for the last ten months show a falling oJf of some *28,000, with no hope that it nau be made up, aj the cur rent year will soon close No wonder the missionary societies are altu-nad. —Boston Transcript. fum fp§3| POWDER Absolutely Pure.
