SANTA rlt'S HILVEK ANN1VEB8ABV
On Wednesdfty, the silver annlvers
ary day of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, witnessed a magui
11 sent demonstration in the beautiful
eity of Topeka, the home and bead
quarters of the enterprise which dl
rects this great transportation system.
It was conducted and enjoyed by the
people both of the city and the rail
way, and there were visitors there
from a dozen states. Five thousand
employes of the railway marched In
the procession, and there were many
ItoatB Illustrative of scenes on the old
and the new Santa Fe trail. The oe'
caalon brings to the memories of all
our old-time residents the small beglL
nlngs of the railroad that Blowly
stretched out from the Missouri river
across the Kansas prairies, and, with
accelerating boldness and rapidity
projected its double line of shining
rails through the mirages of the grest
American desert till the mountains
were In sight. Here for a time
rested, but soon began moving sgai
crossed the Raton range and did really
carry out the ambition of its project
ora, by reaching the ancient city of
Santa Fe. But this was not enough.
The ambition grew aB the lino grew,
and the daring achievement of a rail
road line to the Pacific ocean w b car
ried oat by the Santa l'"e compftny nd
its ftllleB. After this came the road
Denver and the line to Mexico, and
an Impression prevails that there are
yet other branches of the great system
to be estended not icry far from the
future.

Thk republican administration in its
efforts to discredit Bilver and force it
out of the monetary system by forc-
ing the price of bullion down, h s run
up ftgftinBt & stump, ftnd it is exper-
iencing ny amount of worry and
mental disquietude.
The fact that the upward tendency
ia due entirely to the mere rumor that
large purchases of Bilver were being
made for India fully substantiates the
contention of bimetalliats that dis
parity in the commercial value of gold
and silver is largely, If not entirely
due to the well known determination
of the gold monometftlliBtB to force,
the degrftdation of silver by denying
it its legitimate place as one of the
money metftls in commercial transac-
tion!,
The advance of 7 1-2 cents in a few
days has alarmed these worshipers of
the gold standard in this country and
in Europe, and they Btand agast and
unable to offer any explanfttlon. They
see in this ft possible early return to
the bimetftlllsm of this country. They
recftll thftt in 1880 when it seemed al-
most certain that cingress would re-
enftct the free coinage i w, how silver
rose to 81 20 n ounce in gold in ftll
the markets of the commercial world,
lacking only nine cents of reaching a
parity, and that too simply because of
a more probability of the restoration
of silver to the coinage of the United
States.
Theae facts arc stronger proof that
silver will ultimately regain all its
lost power than all the arguments and
sophistries the goldites can arrty
against it to ;!,e contrary.
It is simply the law of commercial
gravitation, and though this law msy
he throttled for ft time it cftnnot be
removed sny more than one can stop
the flow of the tides.
Pkhsiob Commissioner Evans, re-
gardless of justloe and the rights of old
soldiers of other Btates, lias ordered
the claims of the old soldiers of Ohio
to bo advanced and given preference
for early examination. This is done
at the Buggestlon of Mark Hanna for
the avowed purpose of influencing the
Ohio election in November in his In
terest for the United States senate,
Thia outrageouB piece of political chi-
canery is done bo openly by the com-
missioner as to havo attracted the at-

Thk "DaweB and Creek commissions"
havo agreed on an allotment and new
form of government for the Creek In-
dians In the Indian Territory. Each
Indian will be given an allotment of
so much land and the rest will be taken
by the federal government for settle-
ment, the government paying the In-
dians for the land it takcB for settle-
ment. Tertftin amounts of landB are
to be Bet aside for schools and churches
but no recognition Is given to either
coal, coal oil, mineral or grazing
leases. The new treaty meets the ap-
proval of the Indians, it 1b said, tut
those holding leesas from the Indians

will bj hard on white folks who have
proven up Indian relationship, for they
will have to give up much land that
they now hold under proof of Indian
kinship.

Oklahoma at Wichita
Speaking of Oklahoma's exhibit ftt
the Topeka fair the Topekft Journ l
says: "The float from ArkftnsaB City
was representative of the Bouthern
division in the Indian territory and
Oklfthomft, consisting of ft cotton pick
ing scene. In the center of the float
was a big cotton plant with colored
plckerB at work about it, at the rear
an old fashloued log cabin, such as is
seen in the cotton district through
which tbe division runs, and in front
reposed two bales of cotton. It was
one of the unique displays of tbe pa-
rade. A sign at the rear of the float
bore the following: 'Division opened
for trsflic April IS, 1897. Total mile-
age, 377 miles; number of engines, 68 '
On either side were signs stating,
•Scencs on tbe Southern Division '
'The cotton picking scenes on the
float Bent to Topeka from Arkansas
Oi'.y appeared to make a decided hit
with President Ripley. As It happened
the float was delayed for several min-
utes directly in front of the reviewing
staud and Mr Ripley continued to
laugh heartily at the songs and antics
of tho little colored boys. The boys
on the float were well supplied with
water mclonB, and this prompted the
romftrk from the Santa Fe president
'Those fellows don't care how long
the parade is, just bo their water-
melon's hold out."

why they start at every slight bat

IS BRYAN ISM DEAD?
The monster ovation tendered Wm.
J. Bryan at Wichita, Friday, once
more revives the question "Is Bryanism
dead?" The gold stsndard organs as-
sert and reiterate that it is and the
farther east one goes the more fre-
quently it is heralded that "Bryanism
is dead." 4 Bryanism" dead! Centur-
ies sgo there was a day when tho sun
went down in blood; when the hand
of an outraged God threw the light-
nings of his wrath across the skies
and stirred the fateful fires in the
craters of the volcanoes; when along
the wall o' the banquet room where
wealth drank the life-blood and the
tears of thousands of slaves from
golden and beieweled flagons, by un
seen hand was written in characters
unknown, yet pregnant with portents
of evils, "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Up-
harsin." A kingdom, a people, van-
ished from the face of the earth, and
centuries were marshaled in by un-
broken procession before the fingers of
scientific research found in the ashes
of a buried past the scene of the drama
written by God Himself. "Bryanism"
dead! "When falls the colllseum, Rome
shall fall, and when Rome falls, the
world." When Bryanism dies, then
will have perished liberty; then will
the people be the serfs and slaves of
the decreasing few who own the earth
and the fullness thereof; then will
man born of woman be born a slave,
to be lashed to the galleys, chained to
the chariot wheels of those who have
coined Into the gold with which they
have purchased the world the bone
and smew, the brain and brawn, tbe
hopes and fears, the loves and lives of
those made in the likeness of Him who
incurred an enmity which led to Cav
airy by driving the money changers
out of the temples.
"Bryanism" teaches manhood and
the rights of man; it points the wsy to
tbe hill-tops; It finds the path out of
the morass: it plants hope within tbe
hearts of the people; it teaches the
fatherhood of God \nd the brother-
hood of man. It is the 6park upon
the altar to be fanned into the flame
that will light the way to the revolu-
tion of the ballot box through which
the people will regain their liberties
and their birthrights.
"Bryanism" is a living, vital force in
this republic. The antithesis of "Bry-
anism" is the anarohy of wealth.

Territory vs. Blessing Given to the
Jury Yesterday Afternoon.
The trial of David Blessing lasted all
day in district court yesterday, the
iury retiring some time after 4 o clock
In the afternoon. This case has been
bitterly contested from Btart to finish
and yesterday the court room was
crowded witn interested spectators
who desired to hear the final summing
Attorneys J. W. Wilson and
Harry Thurston appeared for the de
fendant, while H H. Huston looked
after tbe interests of the territory in
the absence of County Attorney
Strang, who is attending to urgent
business in Washington at this time.
The feature of yesterday's trial was
the closing argument of J. W. Wilson
for the defense. For eloquence, con-
vincing reasoning and masterful pre-
sentation of his side of the case, his
argument has seldom been equalled
and never excelled in this territory,
ami at once stamps him one of the
foremost criminal lawyers of Okla-
homa.
The evidence adduced at the trial
shows that on the afternoon of the
shooting, Blessing on his return from
Guthrie to his place about six miles
from the city needed some double
trees for his wagon and ascertainad
that D. E. Dudley, his renter, had been
uBlng them. A quarre arose over this
fact and Dudley, who was a young,
vigorous man, weighing about 180
pounds, promptly knocked Blessing
down, causing him to spit all kinds of
gore. Blest ing, who is a little, skinny
German nearly 60 years of age. made
his escape and immediately armed
h'mself. Shortly after this the quar-
rel was renewed and upon Dudley
making some threatening demonstra-
tions Blessing drew his gun and upon
Dudley refusing to stop, 'let 'er
sch'tip," as he puts it, from the effects
of which Dudley died.
Up to a late hour last night the jury
was still out, with no prospect for im
mediate agreement.

took place and all parties concerned
lived across tho line in Blaine county
It seems a man named H. F. Horn, a
homestead settler, had loaded two
wagons with wheat to bring to King-
fisher for sale. lie drove one team
and a man named Uall the other.
They had not driven a mile when they
were tired on from ambush, two out of
five shots taking effect in Horn's per-
son. He was evidently the man the
shooters were after, as Hall was not
touched.

THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE.
New York, Oct 1.—The Democrat!o
city convention last night nominated
these candidates for officers of Greater
New York:
Mayor—Robert A. Vau Wyok of Man-
hattan
Comptroller—Bird a Color of Brook-
lyn.
President of the council—Jacob Rup-
pert, Jr., of Manhattan.
The ticket had been agreed upon by
the Tammany executive committee be
fore the convention met, and dele-
gates simply ratified the choice of the
leoders. The platform makes no ref-
erence to the Chicago platform, Will-
iam J. Bryan or lrce silver. It favors
home rule and repeal of the Raines
law and other restrictions on personal
liberty, and demands dollar gas and
municipal ownership of franchises.
The nominations evoked disapproval
rather than enthusiasm In the conven-
tion hall. The ticket it is believed, ia
unsatisfactory to the faction headed
by Henry George.
Richard Croker did not attend the
convention. John C. Sheehan was
loudly cheered whrn he appeared.
The resolutions recently adopted by
the Democratic union recommending
for consideration as candidates for
tho Mayoralty nomination the names
Robert J. Van Wyck, Hugh J.
Grant and Charles W. Davton were
read by tha secretary. There were
cheers and hisses as the name of each
gentleman referred to was mentioned,
but Dayton's name received the most
applause. On motion of John C. Shce'
han the convention proceeded to make
nominations. Justice John TI. Mc.
Carthy placed Robert A. Van Wyck in
nomination for Mayor. There was a
big cheer for Van Wyck from the body
of the delegates, but the cheers from
the audience were mingled with
hisses.
Congressman Sulzer'i name was also
hailed with screeches of enthusiasm.
John J. Foot© protested against the
vote of the borough of Brooklyn being
cast for Van Wyck. In endeavoring
to restore order the chairman nearly
split the table with his gavel. After
a futile effort Mr. Foote left the plat-
form. Mr. Foote wanted to nominate
Judge William Gaynor, but he did not
get a chance to even mention his
name. The demonstration for Van
Wyck was confined to strict organiza-
tion men. All the boroughs voted for
Van Wyck without any hitch other
than Mr. Foote's interruption.
The announcement that Van Wyok
was the choice of the convention was
the signal for a storm of hisses from a
large portion of the audience and
from the Brooklyn delegation from
the Twenty-first district, which it
took a hand to drown.
Robert A. Van Wyck, the candidate
for mayor, was born in this city 41)
years ago and his family has been
here for some two centuries. He was
