BRYAN'S DOUBLE ROLE There is one feature in the career of vounf Mr. Bryan that bus not received sufficient attention. This is his appear ance in the celebrated character of "Dr. Jekyll an' Mr. Hyde." His conception if the part is different from that of both Itichard Mansfield and Daniel Baudman l.ut it is more interesting because theirs is only an affair of the stage, while his is adapted to practical life. Mr. Bryan's first appearance in the character of Dr. "Jekyll" was at the Congregational chuich at Weeping Wa ter some months since. On that occasion .he is said to have filled the pulpit quite acceptably, offeriug the prayer, reading the hymn, preaching the sermon and pronouncing the benediction. He gave another rendering of the same deyout character at Lincoln, when he introduc ed a resolution at the bar meeting for bidding the use of wine at a coming banquet Incidentally it may be re marked that the banquet never came. "Dr. JekyllV resolution killed it. But . the finest bit of acting which he has done in this part of the character was seen when he delivered a red-hot prohibition speech in the chapel of the state peniten tiary. In that scene he is said to have fairly outdone anything recorded of Stevenson's hero. But the achievements of the versatile actor in the part of "Dr. Jekyll" fade into nothingness compared with his present success in the other half of the dual role As "Mr. Hyde" he fairly out does himself. He is now engaged in this part of the performnnce. His as sumption of the character of a red-rot, high license, anti-prohibitionist is so life like as to be startling. In this character he is now appearing at various points in the First district. In his speeech at Omaha and elsewhere he came out Hat footed against prohibition. He fre quents the saloons with the 'boys' and is hail fellow well met' with the heelers in the bloody Third ward of Omaha, at which the rural prohibitionists stand aghast. In this scene the transformation is complete. There is absolutely nothing in the bearing of the October candidate to suggest the saintly young man who filled the Weeping Water pulpit in tiie joyous springtime. It is said that when Mr. Bryan recovers from 'that tired feel ing,' as he will a few months aftsr 'the men who work ia shops' are through with him, he will take the stage and challenge both Mansfield and Baudnitin V) a joint production of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Ilvdc." And in that conttst it is safe to say that he will win. But does not this two-faced politician present a sr.ortfK-lii to disgust lionet V..;:;I :!t tii- averse viHsio- cr.it pre ft r Vj who has cpini'-; Love a man in congress avA sticks t. th 'in trv to win --i:ppcrt by Kllll s-hi; d--s v.-t ir.g 01: l'-'t 111!! : . l! . p- ' 11 t.-ut it -;i : ii s; r s(-n'.(-d Nivei; 1 1. i : i i ; 11 : i. A Stop of o; veil-: for Thomas, Barn.? and itr, is a vote ii r able rcpresentativ! s :r interests. It is a vote f"-r too od irovtrn-'-c-nt. It is a vote to no prevent a legislative gerrymander in the ntcrestfl of the democratic party. No wonder the .Journal prints the Dorsey-Quay fake. It's Sherman's native mire; it makes him feel at home. The bigger the lie, the more delighted the old man is to get a chance to print it. A; k neddler of cheap fakes the World- llf-rild is an easv winner. It begun with the discovery of Tascott and winds up a fake campaign with a silly telogram pur porting to have been scut from Dorsey to Quay in Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding the positive denial of Mr. Dorsey in reference to the bogus telegram, the Journal keeps right on ly ing as is its custom. "8neak and coward,'' terms so flippantly used by old man Sher man, do not in the least express his own mendacity and yennl demagoguery. Tins county is very close, on a square political issue; and with four tickets in the field; to insure republican success we must work zealously every day from now on for the success of the republican ticker. L-t every man be up and doing. The outlook U flattering.but the enemy ia alert. Tin.; state of Iowa alone wastes half a million dollars worth of flax straw evtiy year. Minnesota, the Dakofas mid Ne braska lose nearly as much. Now, thanks to Major McKiDley's little bill, linen mills are going in at Minneapolis and at Sioux Falls immediately, and prepara tion are making for starting the industry at oth'.r points. The tariff ought to add 65,000,000 to the receipts of the farmers of these five states every year as soon as the linen mills are in full operation. Will not the tariff be worth all it costs even if it is a "tax?" Ex. The windy Bryan has made several speeches in this district, and not in a single speech has he once mentioned a meritorious measure, advocated and pas sed by the lower house of congress which has had a democratic majority for eight years. And in all that time not a bill was'passed that he could show' to the neople, was in their interests and for the public good. Think of such a record, as placed against the silver bill, the anti trust bill, the bill against cotton seed oil lard, the pension, bill, the tariff bill, and a score of other beneficient measures pas sed by the last republican house, and by the action of the senate engrafted into the laws of the land. Mr. Bryan, you are very br.ezy but your entire effort has been to tear down and find fault; a fool could do the same thing, it requires no genius, no ability and no patriotism to cry out and find fault with the govern ment. The frothy Mr. Bryan did not refer to the vetoe of pension legislation by a democratic president, and compare that act, with the act of republican origin, giving $60,000,000 a year to the survi vors of the war for the Union. He did not refer to the anti-trust legislation passed by a republican tongress, or the organized attempt to defeat it made by democratic members. In his 'rich are growing richer' chaff, he did not refer once to the standard oil monopoly, the free trade child of democracy that has flourished ard grown rich a3 no other organization ever did before. The a mount of important matters which Mr. Bryan forgets to mention or studiously avoids far outweighs his cheap tirade upon a protective tariff. The average free trade orator tights the McKinley bill instead of fighting a tariff, for the reason that clean cut free trade is unpop ular, and the war must be made under a diso-uise. That is the the only reason why the McKinley bill receives the on slaughts of the party. A NOVEL METHOD OF TAXATION. Almost the first difficulty that besets a people trying to govern for themselves i the ouestion of revenue, nere is themonev to come from? Taxes, the bugbear of all nations, also puzzle the c,,-; TTi mpthod of raising them is some of the cantons is alike interesting aund novel. No official assessment is made of the property. Blanks are dis tributed to ever? house to be filled in by its occupants. The system is known as the "progressive tax scale. A, who owns 1000 worth of property pays taxes enly on one half of it; B, w ho ownes 23,000 worth of property, pays taxes on eight-tenths of it; while C, who ov;r.3 $100,0"0 worth of property pnys taxis or. the whol-.-. The result is that Cpavsnotthe proportional twenty five times the amount of A's taxes, but rli'iy thr.es a much. The income tax is .man aged after a similar fashion. The rich pay out of all pruportiens to the poorer olassof.. 1 nov proo:iay woum uoi manc i .c with the poor, ho.wcver, cyr n to tvi- v.'h tt t.;-.

Erom "Twitzerland auel the Swiss," by S. H. M. Bycrs, in Harpers Magazine for No vember. R. B. Windham was an Omaha pnsscn ger this morning, THE WORLD -HERALD FAKE. State Journal. As the Journal surmised, Congressman Dorsey having been two or three hundred miles from Omaha, where the World-Herald is never heard of, to say nothing of being never seen, was not aware of the forged telegram that it has been parading at the head of its columns for several days. Oa returning from Northwest Nebraska yesterday somebody called his attention to it and he sent the following dispatch to the Journal: Fkbmoxt, Nun., Oct. 20. C. H. Gore, Lincoln, Neb. Upturned at noon from t!ie extreme western part of trie st:.te. I brand as infamously and maliciously the t degram to Senator Quay published in the VY'orld Herild. I defy Mr. Hitch cock to prove that I ever sent such u tel I'vrtim to anyone. Geo. W. E. Dohs:-.y. Mr. Dorsey's characterization of this thiijg as "infamously and maliciously false," is terse and decisive. The trick i aa old democratic dodge. It is "smart" in the estimate of the managers of thv.t party to commit a forgery of the "Morey " sort. In this cis?, as the victim was out. of reach of communication, on the fron tier of the state, the World-Herald could rant and rear and "defy him to deny" it for almost a week before he c.uld hear of it. We commend this sort of political warfare to the consideration of the de cent people of the state. Tiik logic of the World -Herald is this: The manager of the Western Union at Fremont emphatically denies that the purported dispatch to Quay from Dorsey was ever sent from that city. Tlr.s would effectually sq ielcli the base false hood, but the W-1I says the manager don't say" that Dorsey did not send a message to Quay of some kind, and therefore unless he shows Hitchcock just what he did send the W-II will stick to its falsehood. Trying to blackmail a man to get a. knowledge of his private business is no more creditable than trying to blackmail for blood money; the prin ple the same. Aud every day that the World-Herald publishes the forged message it stands a convicted black mailer by its own logic and by the affida vit of the manager of the Western Union Telegraph at Fremont. The Journal advocates the election of W. J. Bryan of the law firm of Talbot & Bryan, to congress, knowing them if it knows anything to be the paid attorneys of the Missouri Pacific, and in the same issue charges Conuell with being in the interest of the B. & M. when the court records of Omaha shows that he In s had more litigation against the B. & M. than any other attorney in Omaha, and never represented any railway in Nebraska in any capacity. What's the use of talking such rot, the people are not fools? The railroad racket that you have howled about so often has become second nature to you Mr. Shermau. but a g'ance at the personnel of your candidates this fall, would indicate that you had better study up some other issue. Beutie Hitchcock is mad. The tariff ij raised on eye glasses, patent leather shoes, plug hats and doeskin breeches. Wonder why congrts? could not have placed a small tax on the dude? A very small tax would have annihilated him to the glor of American citizenship. Fre mont Flail. Ballard's Snow Iiiniment.

ONE OF THE PROFOUND MYSTERIES OF THE SOUTH SEAS. Record of a Prehistoric People CoIohhuI riffuren, Maive Ruins uiul l'alaces with Painted Walla The Wonders ox KhuUt Island. Tlie Caroline islands, which are now recojrnized as belonpfinj; to Spain, though the Germans tried to nnnex them a few years ago, form one of the largest itrchi-pt-lagos of the Pac ific, covering :i sea area cf more than'J.OoO miles, and comprising over 500 separate fragments of land. Some of these- ish ts are more rocks, miuiy are uninhctbited and a few are very populous. Excepting Ihoso ;it the eastern end of the chain, and the- largo island of Yap at the western ond, they have boon rarely, some of them nover, visited by white men, unless in tho dubi ous form of "beach comb rs." Kusaio, sometimes cilled Strong isl and, is about fifty miles in ciirvtiafor ence, is of basaltic formation, has a largo extent of high ground, and boasts of two excellent harbors. The people are reputedly industrious and peaccablo for South Sea islanders and they have a lung of their own. They belong, to all appearance, to the Polynesian race, but travelers have declared that they teem capable of a higher civilization than the average Polynesian. It is re markable that the chiefs communicate by signs and speech not understood by the common people. LITTLE EASTER ISLAND. If we traverse some few thousand miles of ocean to the very eastern out skirts of Polynesia we shall find the lit tle island called Easter island, which is barely ten miles long by four miles broad, which has no trees, no running water, and very little about it to attract settlers. It is of volcanic origin, and one of the extinct craters is over 1,000 feet high. Yet this i'hj-sically uninteresting isl and, peopled by Polynesians of the fair type, such as are found in the Society islands, is the greatest mystery of the Pa cific. It is covered with remains of some prehistoric people of whom every record but that preserved in stone seems to have vanished. At the southwest end of this little isl and there are to be found the ruins of nearly a hundred stono houses, built iu regular lines and facing the sea. The walls of these houses are five feet thick and over five feet high, built of layers of flat stones and lined inside with flat slabs. Internally the houses measure about forty feet long by thirteen feet wide, and they are roofed over with slabs overlapping like tiles. Tho inside walls are painted in threes colors red, black and whitJ with figures of birds and mystic beasts aud faces and geometrical figures. Iu . one of these houses was found a curious stone statue eight feet high and weighing about four tons, which is now in the British museum. The sea cliffs near this ancient settle ment are carved into grotesque shapes not unlike the paintings on the walla, and the coast is marked with hundreds of these strange sculptures. Again, on each headland of the island there is an enormous stone platform, built of hewn blocks of great size, fitted together without cement. They are built on sloping ground, presenting on the sea ward side a wall face twenty or thirty feet high and two or three hundred feet long, and on the landward side a wall of about three feet in height rising from a level terrace. EVIDENCES OF WORSHIP. These platforms have evidently had to do with the religious practices of the early settlers, whoever they were; for upon all of them are large stone pedes tals which have supported images, and on some of them broken images are still to be seen. On one platform fifteen images were found, in size ranging from three to thirty-five feet in height. They are of human shape, representing the upper part of the body only, with, arms and hands close to the sides. The heads are cut flat to allow of crowns being placed on them, which crowns seem to have been made, not of the same mate rial as the statues, but of red tufa. This has been traced to an extinct crater within a few miles of the houses, aud on the brink of this crater a large number of crowns were found, finished and ready for removal before some strange fate "depeopled the island of these an cient worshipers. The images themselves are made of gray lava, which is only found at quite another crater at the other end of the island. At this crater, called Otouli, there are several finished and partly finished images, just as they were left by the workmen. It is remarkable that tho present natives have small wooden images carved t'lit of a hard, dark wood, but these i:nages are hideous and differ il tog other from th.? dig-.iirh- i s-catu;.-s of the platforms.
