It is Shown by the Fact that the People Had 2,109,- 547 More Bank Accounts Last Year Than in the Democratic Year of 1894. Gain of Nearly Two Billion Dollars in the Amount of Money Deposited to Their Credit. The one supreme test of prosperity is the money in the bank. This is :t self-evident truth. Ifa man's fam ily is well clothed ami fed and in a comfortable home, and besides Ibis he can put money in the hank, it must be admitted that he is prosper ous. I n the following unparalleled show ing of Lie increase in the number of depositors from the dark days of the Democratic Willson bill regime iu I M'.l-t to the glorious days of McKinley prosperity, the most marvelous of all is the increase in the number of depositors in savings banks and these are particularly the ones where the wage earners of the country put their savings. Mr. Bryan says the people are not prosperous. So says all his calamity followers. We commend to them the following official figures from Some Points t - e Observed. Croker is the' osen leader of Mr. Bryan in Ne York. Thus does reform go marching on. If Bryan is elected Boss Croker will be appointed Secretary of State, and the United States will then he run like New York City is now. Enough is said. When it isn't a pro-English alli ance it is a pro-Russian alliance. Why not admit, like sensible men, that their is no foreign alliance at all. Such nonsence. The results in Vermont was en tirely satisfactory, thank you; but good Republicans and good anti- Silverites everywhere will keep on working just the same. The Republicans made consider able gains in Arkansas. This would seem to indicate that the Democrats lost the combination for a moment or two. 1 The Man With the "Paramount" Hoeing for Votes. lie said: "You shall not toss .Mankind upon a cross Of shining gold." "Nor press his brow with thorns, Nor tread upon his corns When he is old." He said: "No fires will burn, No wheels, no spindles turn, Without my hand Is at the nation's helm; Dictator of the realm- Chief of the hand." lie said: "the metal white Is strictly in the fight (I lugged it in). We're on free silver bent, Without the world's consent And it will win." The voters heard him shout, Then straightway went about To give liiiu fits; They said "we want no stuff ; Half money and half bluff, A dollar worth four bits." It took his breath away When the people had their say In N—O —V. But he's got his second wind, Thinks he'll not again be skinned; Wait and SEE. Sullivan County. Stand by the Flag wherever it is. Washington made it the Flag of Freedom; Lincoln made it the Mag of Liberty, and McKinley made it the Flag of Man's Human ity toman. The Republican ticket inspires confidence, arouses enthusiasm, and stands for all that is wise, safe, sure and strong in leadership. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent, and American credit stands higher than that of any other nation. The Republican Party's supre macy is as necessary for Honest wages and Business confidence now as it was in 181(6. American goods should be car ried in American ships.

NO DISTURBANCES ARE REPORTED. President Mitchell Ulrectlnu the Gre»t l'Micht AKulnat Oi.t-rx torn. Governor Stone IrKril to Mettle the Trouble. HAZLETON, Pa., t. J.~i.—Coutrarj to the expectations of both the operator: and the striking coal miners there were no developments in the strike situation in the Lehigh region yesterday. It was thought in soine quarters that owing to the presence of troops in the anthracite Held a break would occur in the ranks o( the strikers or that a large number ol additional luen would refrain from go ing to work. The operators, as a rule, predicted a break in the strikers' ranks and the labor leaders were equally sure they would tie up this region tightei than ever. ltoth sides claim they have marie good gains. It seems, however, front the most reliable reports received here from (la entire region that the strikers made n net gain in point of numbers. The M S. Kemmerer colliery at Sandy Ituu, ou the north side, WHS tied up, but the op eration is not a large one. There are many stories afloat in re gard to the situation at Ihc l.uttinici mines. The strike leaders assert that the colliery at that place is completely tied up. but when a representative of the Cal vin Pardee company, which owns the mines, was asked about the situation there he said the colliery was runniii). along as usual and that only about fmt of 1,100 employees had failed io g<. into the slopes yesterday. The I'nited Mine Workers have been working hard to get the Lattiiner men to quit. Tlk most of the other collieries in the llazle ton district wliici have not yet beet, el tut down entirely reported that theit working forces had bee:, more or less increased. This the labor people declare to be untrue. President Mitchell, in discussing tin situation in the entire strike region, says "Reports received by me from the lowet anthracite i Schuylkill i region indicate that at least 2.000 mine workers joined the strikers yesterday. A large nunibet of these came from the Reading com pany's mines. In the Lehigh region wt made large gains. I have not received definite figures, but I should judge that the number of men heretofore working anil who did not go into tin' mines in ibis district yesterday numbered between (MM) and 300. "The meetings held on Sunday by the I'nited Mine Workers at which men who had not struck were strongly urged to help in the tight bore fruit. As a whole I feel more encouraged than I have at any time since the strike began, and 1 am confident that within the next few days the entire anthracite coalfield in Pennsyl vania will lie idle." There is not the slightest change in the situation iu regard to a settlement ol the labor war. Neither side has ap proached the other, and there is nothing iu view which would indicate that any thing will soon be done iu that direction. The United Mine Workers are still de voting most of their attention to getting out the men. TWO VIEWS OF THE STRIKE. Operators nnil Miners Mnke Confi dent und Hopeful Statements, WILKESBARRK. Pa.. Sept. 2."».—The coal operators iu their review of tin strike situation iu the anthracite region say: ''The situation iu the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys i« unchanged. In the Schuylkill region the presence of the militia is a novelty fi»>* the populace which retarded work somewhat. As soon as the excitement incident to the arriv al of the troops dies out a general re sumption of operations is expected. An increased output is also looked for in the Lehigh region today." The I'nited Mine Workers of this dis trict have issued the following state ment: "The eighth day of the strike shows the men iu the Wyoming region to be more united than ever. All the mines iu the distict were idle yesterday, and three washeries which were iu operation the greater part of last week were not iu operation. "Our men are quiet and orderly and gaining accessions to their ranks every day. A new assembly of United Mine Workers was organized at I'ittston. The men in that section are thoroughly or ganized now. The miners of Ashley are also well organized. On the whole the situation is very encouraging." Collieries tit He Cloned. SHAMOKIN, Pa.. Sept. 25.—Three hundred mules were taken from the Re liance and Alaska mines of the Philadel phia and Heading Coal and Iron com pany yesterday and senr to the Schuyl kill county corral. The company gave notice to 2,'HKI men and boys employed at the operations previous t" the strike that unless they returned to work by Sotur day the collieries would be abandoned fot a lengthy period. The strikers claim the order was given out with the view ot scaring them into the mines before the termination of the strike. They sny they will remain idle regardless of the order. At North Franklin colliery, near Tre vorton, last night several hundred miners took tmt their tools owing to a carload ol deputies arriving from Schuylkill county early yesterday morning. The strike lead ers claim the mine will be tied up, and in such an event the mine workers are confident Locust Spring colliery will ulsc cease work. Then all the mines between Trevorton. this place and Centralia, giv ing employment to 15,000 men and boys, will be idle. 1.25 P er - • Number ly TEXAS FLOOD SWEPT Rivers Rise to Record Break ing Heights.

Great alarm is felt as to tin- result of the rise. Governor Savers left here last night for Galveston to inspect the work being done there by the various relief commit tees.

No lives have been lo.t in the im mediate vicinity of Dallas, but cotton and live stock, notably sheep and hogs, have suffered heavily. The county commission ers of Dallas county estimate the loss in the county at independent of the numerous small bridges and the street damages in the city of Dallas, which will be nearly as much.
