HUNTERS FIGHT WILD DOGS
Desperate Combat Takes Place in
an Indiana Forest
A large drove of wild dogs even morp
ferocious than hungry timber wolves has
been discovered near the town of Morris
town Ind and the people in that vicin
ity are greatly frightened as a result
It is probable that a grand hunt will soon
be organized in the hope of ridding the
country of the dogs which pecupied a big
cave or den in the Hamilton woods a
gloomy forest which has been avoided by
human beings for many years past on ac
count of the belief that it is -haunted
The discovery that the woods shelter a
drove of wild dogs was made by John W
Sullivan and his son Charles Andrew
Lamar and Matt Sullivan while on a
hunting trip They tell a thrilling story
of their encounter with the beasts and
Charles Sullivan is under the care of a
surgeon having been badly mangled by
one of the animals A
The hunting party tracked the ferocious
animals to their cave in a dense woods
While the party was debating the matter
and laying plans to capture the animals
there came a rush from the den and a
dog greatly resembling a rat terrier only
larger and with a bushy tail and a head
something like that of a bulldog darted
past them with a snarl and darted in the
tangled underbrush
Lamar and Charles Sullivan immediate
ly gave chase while the rest of the party
remained to guard the den and close the
opening with brush and stones so the
animals inside could not escape In a few
minutes the report of a gun some little
distance away was heard by those who
remained at the den followed by the
howling of a dog and the screaming of
Lamar and young Sullivan It was found
that the two had gotten quite close to the
dog when it had turned and attacked
them Then Lamar fired severely wound
ing the beast Just as the shot was
fired another dog dashed into sight and
made an attack upon young Sullivan
The boy was being badly bitten and
scratched by the infuriated animal bat
Lamar was afraid to shoot for fear of
hitting Sullivan instead of the dog Final
ly he saw a chance and fired wounding

UNIQUE BRIDGE AT HASTINGS
Believed to Be the Only One of Its
Kind in the World
Hastings Minn new wagon bridge
has been completed and it probably is the
only one of the kind in the world Its
peculiar feature is the spiral approach at
the south end On account of the great
height of tiuw luiuel span pf SS0 feet
which is placed fifty five feet above high
water mark it was necessary to have a
very long approach in order to avoid a
steep grade The town being so close to
the river it would have been necessary to
run a straight approach to such a dis
tance as to spoil the looks of the business
streets In order to overcome this difficul
ty it was decided to make use of a corner
lot G0xl20 feet adjoining the foot of
Sibley street and to build thereon a spi
ral approach
Beginning at the heart of the city the
approach starts with a rise of seven and
three fourths feet to the 100 forming an

cago Dispatch
Tariff Tax or Gold Bonds
Republican papers are now demand
ing that President McKinley convene
an extra sessiou next spring for the
consideration of the tariff question
General Tracy in an interview de
clares that the crying need of the hour
is an increase of taxes
It is almost always the case that in
creased taxes follow on a Republican
triumph but in the present case it is a
question whether even a new tariff tax
can save the Government from constant
borrowing of money at interest to
meet expenses and to keep up the
gold standard Nor is it at all certain
that the administration can force
through the next Congress a McKinley
tariff in any event The silver Republi
cans of the Senate gave notice when
tlie Dingley bill came before them
that they would vote for no tariff
change without free coinage and Mc
Kinleys policy may run against the
same impediment He cannot expect
help from Democratic Congressmen
who if they are wise would welcome
an extra session as an opportunity to
re form their party lines and unite
their divided forces
There is also the fact to be taken into
consideration that the practical aban
donment of the tariff as an issue in the
recent campaign has let into the lower
House of Congress a number of Repub
lican members who are by no means in
accord with McKinley in his extreme
protectionist views
It therefore seems very possible that
in spite of the denunciations heaped
upon President Cleveland for his bond
issue policy by the Republican press
and orators President McKinley may
find himself driven to the same resource
before he has beeu in office many
nlcnths
A Fuborncd Press
In his final address to the American
people Chairman Jones included among
the causes of Democratic defeat 1r
subornation of a large portion of i
Ameriean press The part played by
the metropolitan press in the recent
campaign will not soon be forgotten by
the American people But its behavior
since the election has been even worse
than during the campaign
In generous minds the consciousness
of being victorious brings out a spirit
of magnanimity or at least a disposi
tion to treat fairly defeated opponents
In the desire to curry favor with its
plutocratic masters the suborned press
has since the election surpassed any
thing in the previous history of Ameri
can politics or journalism in the bru
tality of its abuse and in the vicious
ness of its blackguardism
Dispatches from other cities show
that the same tirade of foul and vindic
tive abuse that was poured upon the
Post Dispatch was directed against
every Democratic newspaper in every
city that dared to question the figures
of the Gould Sage returning board In
San Francisco in Cincinnati in- Louis
ville in Indianapolis wherever there
was a Democratic newspaper that pre
ferred the view of the Democratic Na
tional Committee to that of the irre
sponsible senders of doctored dispatch
esit was the object offrenzied denun
ciation which amounted to an incite
ment to riot
In Chicago it was worst of all The
Democrats had no newspaper there to
serve as a target for the newspaper
clamor So it was turned against
Chairman Jones His treatment by the
Chicago newspapers on Wednesday
and Thursday was a disgrace to Ameri
can journalism and to the American
people Because he would not join the
Hanna chorus but announced his inten
tion to wait for full and trustworthy
returns before conceding Bry ans de
feat be was subject to everyspecies of
abuse and denunciation that the vocab
ulary of newspaper hoodlums could
produce
There was no actual riot because the
people refused to respond to their news
paper inciters But the pos clection
riot ot bad language in the gold stand
ard newspapers was perhaps the worst
feature of a campaign that as a whole
offers little encouragement to believers
in the old time doctrine that the voice
of the people is the voice of God St
Louis Post Dispatch
Mr Pryans Addrcss
Mr Bryan has nailed his flag to the
mast and has announced that the bat
tle for humanity is still on His ad
dress to the American people is worthy
of the man and of the hour It reflects
the character of one great In adversity
and noble in defeat Having closed his
l emarkable canvass without a mis
take he adopts the manliest course
open to him as the chosen leader of an
oppressed people No personal or po
litical friend he says need grieve
because of my defeat My ambition
has been to secure immediate legisla
tion rather than to enjoy the honors of
office therefore defeat brings to me no
feeling of personal loss
The man who does not recognize the
ring of true patriotism in these words
is made of the stuff that sees only self
ishness in an honorable ambition to at
tain the presidency But those who
followed the free coinage banner and
went down with it in temporary disas
ter know if their opponents do not
that love of country and love of power
inspires every utterance that emanates
or will emanate from the captain of the
host during the ensuing four years
The keynote has been sounded In
1900 there will be no other proposition
before this people than the proposition
to reform its monetary policy regard
less of what Western Europe may do
or think in the matter Even Mark
Hanna himself is of this opinion as
shown by bis declaration that the Re
publican organization must be kept up
and the propaganda for a dear dollar
and cheap men continued Whatever
other members of bis party may think
the organizer of Mr McKinleys forces
and the holder of bis notes sees in the
0000000 of votes polled by the com
mon people a menace to plutocracy a
threat against the aseendencjr of Mam
mon
Quick to accept Mr Bryans chal
lenge he will no doubt bring to bear
on the situation all the arguments that
money can buy and ingenuity devise
Gold advocates will tour the country
and undertake to show that a people
is happiest when it is least prosperous
that the individual thrives when his
income is curtailed
Against this powerful enginery of
pelf will be arrayed Truth without
money patriotism with only that
power which comes from a sense of jus
tice With such a leader and with such
a cause victory is only a question of
time and of a comparatively short
time As our late candidate well says
- The year 1900 is not far away Before
that year arrives international bimetal
lism will cease to deceive before that
year arrives those who have called them
selves gold standard Democrats will be
come bimetallists and be with us or they
will become Republicans and thus open
enemies before that year arrives trusts
will have convinced still more people that
a trust is a menace to private welfare and
public safety
Before that year arrives the evils of a
gold standard will be even more evident
than they are now and the people then
ready to demand an American financial
policy for the American people will join
with us in the immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present ratio of 1G to 1
without waiting for the aid or consent of
any other nation
Great in Defeat
Hon William McKinley Canton Ohio
Senator Jones has just informed me
that the returns indicate your election
and I hasten to extend my congratula
tions We haye submitted the issue to
the American people and their will is law
W J BRYAN
Nothing in Mr Bryans honorable
public career becomes him more than
his graceful acknowledgment of defeat
After making the most brilliant cani
inigu in the history of the country
uter attracting the admiration of the
world be bows to the inevitable and
congratulates the peoples choice de
claring that the will of the voter is the
law of the land
It is pleasant to reflect that the battle
was waged on purely political lines
that nothing of a personal nature en
tered into the contest and that both
candidates are of irreproachable pri
vate character President MdKinley
will have no more ardent well wisher
than William Jennings Bryan If it
were possible for this country to pros
per permanently under a single gold
standard the defeated candidate would
no doubt be a valuable adviser of the
new administration But it is not pos
sible and under our system of govern
ment the party in power does not ac
cept advice from opposition leaders
A good deal is being said just now
about Mr Bryans future and the in
quiry is made as to what course he will
pursue His future has already been
selected for him by the American peo
ple There is nothing in politics more
certain than the fact that he will re
main the partys champion and rally
the hosts for another charge against
the allied armies of Mammon William
Jennings Bryan who gave battle so
magnificently serene in defeat and de
fiant before the money power is the re
form idea incarnated Mark Hanna is
the reactionary principle made flesh
An irrepressible conflict is on
The McKinley Dilemmas
Politicians may well sympathize with
the dilemmas surrounding the posi
tion of the President elec He has
three sets of supporters to placate
not as is usually the case only one
party His success has been aided by
bis own political friends by bolting
Democrats and by Cleveland office
holders To have Oiwc tetter
nilly willy may seem cruel To se
lect prizes for the Palmer and Buck
embarrassing To
nor men becomes
give everything to Republican proper
would appear ungrateful to allies
Plattites and autl Piattites with War
ner Miller in the perspective are al
ready clamoring for pap Altogether
that rest which the sage of Canton de
clares he must now seek seems to elude
him
Why shall not McKinley solve his
dilemmas by engineering a grand raffle
for the main places and let Hanna draw
names from a bag and Quay draw titles
of officers from another bag simultan
eously The grab bag game has never
been tried yet in national politics and
now may be a good time for testing the
plan
Four Months More of Grovcr
McKinley will not take office for four
months to come and in the meantime
Grover Cleveland will remain Presi
dent and will have on his hands a Con
gress one branch of which is over
whelmingly Republican while in the
other there is a majority made up of
believers in the free and unlimited coin
age of silver There are therefore
three opposing bodies in Washington
and they will continue to obstruct ono
another until their official life ends on
the 4th of March next
There are very few questions on
which the three can be expected to
agree to work together The Republi
can House would like to start on tariff
tinkering when it meets next month i
and the Senate is willing to let it do sot
if it agrees to provide for silver coinage
at the same time The President stands
ready to veto one or the other sep-
arately or both combined If he is given
the chance and the two legislative
branches are prepared to reject any rec j
ommendation about financial or reve
nue matters that he may recommend
It is clear therefore that oa these
questions of domestic importance there
is sure to be a deadlock during the re
maining days of the Cleveland adminis
tration and of the Fifty fourth Con
gress On foreign affaire however
they may pull together and it is not
unlikely that the Cuban situation and a
settlement of the Venezuela affair will
chiefly engross attention
The return of Gen Fitzbugh Lee our
Consul General in Cuba at this time for
the purpose of consulting with Presi
dent Cleveland is presumably the fore
runner of a strong Cuban message to
Congress What recommendations will
be made in it nobody can of course
even guess at in view of what sur
prises our present chief executive has
given the country in the past when
matters of foreign politics come up
Of course the Republicans will op
pose any very decided action by this
government now in either Cuba or Ven
ezuela or Turkey They want to have
whatever glory is to be gained in the
handling of these matters for them
selves They fear that any strong pol
icy by the administration during the
coming winter will interfere with the
development of the artificial business
boom that they are so sedulously nurs
ing in order to strengthen themselves
with the people New York News
William Jennings Brjan
The standard bearer of the people in
the wonderful canvass now a part of
history has won undying fame He
has not been elected President not yet
but he has waged a warfare against
corporate greed that can but redound
to the good of the nation
He led the war from the day of bis
nomination to the hour of his rejection
and not by any spoken word or by any
individual act in all that time did he
reflect on those who selected him for a
champion He proved himself a giant
among men and to day he is as noble
in defeat as he could have been in vic
tory
The odds against him were formida
ble and he challenged them He was a
volunteer St George battling against
the dragon of organized greed and al
though he has not yet slain the raou
stei he or those who come after him
will slay it
This country must not and will not be
ran by trusts It has a grander des-
tiny than the enthronement of Telf
Whatever support the money power
may receive from so called Democrats
whatever encouragement the men who
traffic in the peoples necessity may se
cure from legislative bodies for a time
there will be an adjustment by which
the masses will finally secure their in-
heritance
Bryan is but 30 years old Whether
in its wisdom his party select hhn to-
bear the standard or whether the honor
falls on another four years from now
he will in 1900 be as vigorous and as
eloquent in his denunciation of wrong
and his advocacy of right as he has
been in this contest
The Good Ficht
The chairman of the National Demo-
eratic Committee Senator Jones and
the chairman of the campaign commit
tee Mr D J Campau with their able
assistants are to be congratulated on
the splendid fight they made in the
cause of the people They lost the bat
tle but they lost it with honor Sena
tor Jones has been at all times cour
teous and dignified He has discussed
the situation conservatively and has
won the respect of his foes and the- ad
miration of his friends There has beeo
a minimum of garrulity at Democratic
headquarters and a maximum of work
and the result is something of a victory
although the Republican party is re
stored to power Practically without
funds the chosen leaders of the people
have fought against tremendous odds
the opposition having millions of money
at its command Every true reformer
owes a debt of gratitude to the men
Trho held the party banner aloft during
