Mr. Bryan has given out the follow ing letter for publication: "I am just leaving for Missouri and shall be absent practically all of the time for about a mouth, campaigning in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois. After that I shall be at liberty to speak for Mr. Hitchcock, the democratic candidate for congress and for the stale ticket in Nebraska. In speaking for the state ticket, how ever, I shall not be able to present any arguments in favor of the election of Mr. Dahlman. His position on the liipior question makes that impossible. "I regret this exceedingly for he has been a political and personal friend for twenty years ami it would give me pleasure to speak for him if I could endorse the policy for which he stands, but he has chosen to make the liquor question the paramount issue and makes his appeal on that issue. "In spite of the fact that the last democratic state convention voted down a declaration against county option by a vote of Co8 to 202, he says that he will veto a county option bill if passed and in spite of the fact that the state convention endorsed the S o'clock closing law by a vote of 710 to 1(53 he announces that he will sign a bill repealing it if such a bill is passed. He is making his appeal on non-partisan lines with the liquor question as the sole issue. His courage is to be commended. It is an honest way of making a campaign, although it com pels him to squeeze himself from friends who do not agree with him and to rely for such making up on those democrats and republicans who take his view on the subject "Possibly it is just as well to have the issue clearly presented so that it may be settled this year instead of two years hence. Troublesome as the question is now, it would be even more embarrassing if presented in 15)12, when we have a presidential election on hand. If Mr. Dahlman is elected it will be a declaration by the voters of the state against county option and against the S o'clock closing law. If he is defeated it will be a declaration in favor of county option and in favor of the 8 o'clock closing law. In other words, the voters now have an oppor tunity to decide which way the state shall go, backward or forward. To present arguments in favor of going backward would not contradict what I have already said on the subject, but would embarrass me in the light that I expect to make hereafter to save our party from the odium of being the representative of the liquor interests." W. J. Bryan. MUSSING THE RECORD. The campaign of deception which has always been a characteristic part of the record of the Omaha World Herald is being carried out in this campaign, notwithstanding that all previous attempts to deceive the voter in former years have not panned out successfully. Its latest attempt in the deception line is an adroitly worded editorial in its issue of Sept. 21st, in which it quotes from statements made by an opponent of Senator Burkett before the primary, stating that the senator had voted against free lumber. This assertion made against the senator's record was met and proven to be false during the primary campaign and the World-Herald knows it. It therefore quotes Trim that statement in an en deavor to muss up the record in such a way that the reader of the paper will be deceived. In order that the voter may know the facts in the case we have examined the Congressional Record and present the following facts taken from that document, which as all know is a cor rect record of the proceedings of the United States senate and the vote of its members upon every question which comes up. At several different times Senator Burkett addressed the senate in behalf of a reduction in the lumber schedule and his votes at different times thereon are herewith shown: On page 3G71 of the Congressional Record is found an amendment offered for a reduction of the tariff upon cer tain kinds of lumber. That amend ment was defeated, but Senator Bur kett, with Senator Brown, Senator Cummins, Senator Doliver and Sena tor LaFollette voted for its passage. On page 3G80 another amendment was introduced having for its object the reduction of the tariff on certain kinds of lumber and the record shows that Senator Burkett, with Senators Brown, Cummins, Doliver and La Follette voted f r it That amend ment was also defeated. On page 3081 the Congressional Record discloses the fact that still another attempt was made to lowr the tariff on certain kinds of Iuralxr this attempt also meeting with defeat , but Senators Burkett, Brown, Cum mins, Doliver and LaFollette voted lor the reduction. On page 3809 of the Congressional Record it is shown that an amendment was ollerert 1'UTTIJSU LUMBER ON THE FREE LIST. The record shows that SENATOR BURKETT VOTED FOR THAT AMEND MENT. The record also shows that Senator Brown, Senator Cummins and Senator LaFollette with other pro gressive senators voted with Senator Burkett for this amendment to place lumber on the free list. The above is the record. The rec ord is the best evidence. Will the World-Herald give the same promi nence to a correction of its former statement that it did t.i the article of Sept. 21st? Will it show the facts in the case or continue to deceive it's readers in its effort to elect its editor to the United States senate.

"As a democrat who from boyhood days has Wved his party, I am reluct ant to do anything that would even temporarily separate me from party organization. But the democratic primaries recently held were controll ed by republicans, voting under the leadership of the liquor interests, rather than by demociats; and if we must follow republican leadership then I perfer to choose the sort of republi can leadership I am to have. "In the exercise of this privilege I choose you as my candidate for govern or and I am at your service. Yours truly. Richard L. Metcalf." MR. ALDRICH TO MR. MET CALF. David City, Neb., Sept 19. Hon. Richard L. Metcalfe, Lincoln, Neb. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst, in which you state your intention to give me your support in my candidacy for the office of governor of Nebraska. I regret my inability to express in words my appreciation of your action not alone for the great good your support will do my candidacy, but for the greater service you will thus render the state in the fight now on for civic righteous ness. I count it one of the highest honors of my life to be chosen by you as your candidate for governor and am delighted to accept your support. Your voice and your pen will bring thousands of men to the cause of good government. J I agree with you that the overshad owing Issue in this campaign is as to whether the people or the Ijquor trust shall rule in this commonwealth. That is the question. If we cannot trust the people, whom can we trust? Like yourself, I have nothing per sonal against my opponent, James C. Dahlman, hut I am eternally opposed to Dahlmanism. It disregards law. It pardons the most vicious criminals. It prostitutes womanliood, degrades manhood and damns childhood. It corrupts politic.", destroys homes, fills jails, prisons, asylums and graves with its deluded victims. Therefore, I welcome you and the thousands of patriotic democrats who will follow you and who will fight shoulder with us in this crusade against one of the most stupendous, most thoroughly equipjved and financed conspiracies for the control aud debauchery of the people's government by the liquor trust ever planned in the history of American politics. Your action in placing the cause of the people above your party fills me with a confidence that right will triumph in this contest. I confidently believe that 150,000 vot ers of all political parties will goto the polls next November in this be loved state of ours and cast their bal lots against Dahlmanism and thus en throne the people in the control of their own government. Very truly yours. Chester H. Aldrich. DAHLMAN'S BEST ASSET. The Lincoln Star, a paper opposed to the election of Dahlman, tenders the Lincoln Journal and other mud slinging organs throughout the state aome common sense advice. The Star says: "More men have probably been elected to office by the reaction of unbridled denunciation than have ever been elected upon their merits. There are mighty few newspaper men, and probably no political stump speakers, who have not more than once awaken ed after election to the realization of the fact that they have materially aided in the election of the man they 'tried their very best to defeat, and have done it in over-zeal that led them into a too vigorous denunciation. "Personal abuse of a candidate for office is always resented by the masses, and should be resented. Every can didate's official record, if he has one, is open to just criticism. Every can didate for public preferment is sup posed to stand for something. If one entertains an objection for that which he stands, it is right enough for the objecting citizen to speak out in opposing it "A good many of the well meaning people of the state, including also some of the more vigorous newspapers, have started out as if they may be likely in the end to help elect Dahlmau gover nor by the tone and character of the opposition they are putting up against him. It is not going to accomplish any benefit to the opposition to Dahl man to continue heaping personal abuse upon him. "It is what he stands for that must be denounced if he is to lie beaten. Nothing would please Jim Dahlman any better than to have the radical county option papers keep up the line of comment into which they have entered. He would be willing to pay something for their seeming abuse, for it is a cinch that Jim Dahlmau is a shrewd and sagacious politician. "It is just as well to bear in mind that in the primaries Mr. Dahlman got more votes than any other candidate running for the nomination for gover nor, representing either parly, with the exception of Governor Shallen berger, whose democratic aud populist vote together made a larger total than the vole for Dahlman." METCALF BOLTS DAHLMAN. "Lincoln, Neb., Sept 17. Hon. Chester H. Aldrich, David City, Neb. Dear Sin I intend to give you my support in your candidacy for the office of governor of Nebraska. I have known your opponent Mr. James C. Dahlman, for more than twenty years and would not join in any per sonal disparagement of him. On the contrary, I respect him for certain sterling qualities I know him to pos sess. But his nomination was secured through the active and notorious in terference in democratic primaries of the liquor interests and he represents, admittedly, everything the liquor in terests desire in the way of legislation. He promises to approve a bill repeal ing the 8 o'clock closing law and to veto a county option bill and in every way stands as the frank, outspoken champion of the most obnoxious of all the special interests. "It would be difficult to make an issue clearer than the one that has been forced upon the .cople of Ne braska through the bold and undis guised edict of the liquor trust. It is a bigger question than 8 o'clock clos ing and a more important one than county option. Beside it the personal ities of candidates sink into insignifi cance, "bhall the people of Nebraska surrender political power into the keeping of the liquor trust; shall they put the stamp of approval upon that trust's executed threat to destroy a governor who dared go counter to its wishes?' That is the issue as I under stand it "I respect every man's opinion on this question, but I am unable to see it in any other light than that a vote for Mr. Dahlman is a vote to deliver Nebraska into the merciless keeping of an institution that is responsible for too many tears and too much sorrow THE HABIT CURE. An Emporia man who used to have his share of sickness has been enjoy ing good health for a year or two, and is getting fat, ami assures his friends that he will live to celebrate his hundredth birthday. The plan which restored his health is simple and inexpensive, aud it is not necessary to buy anything in bot tles, at a dollar a throw. "I simply regulate my life by the clock," said he. "Man is a creature of habit, and when he takes advantage of that fact his troubles are ended. I used to go to lied at any old hour, and get up wuuu i ieii iikc it. xmow i re tire to my downy couch at 10 o'clock aud that means 10 o'clock to the minute and get up at C. I used to toss and roll and kick around for hours before I got to sleep. Now I go to sleep as soon as my head touches the pillow, and sleep like an ossified man all night I eat my meals at regular hours, never a minute too early or too late. I have a certain round of duties to perform every day, and I do them according to exact schedule. I have become a machine in certain respects, but it's lietter to be a good healthy machine than a sick human leing." There was a good deal of sense in the observations of this able citizen. Doctors, when they give you medicine insist that it be takeu at regular inter vals. There is no doubt that regular ity in habits contributes greatly to health. Another thing that the wise doc tors denounce bitterly is the American habit of eating between meals, and there is no doubt that it is a bad thing. The humau stomach is a cranky and finicky affair, and objects to being overloaded. If it is permit ted to do its work with an unvarying regularity, receiving refreshments at regular hours, and at no other times, it will behave beautifully. If a man has a good sound industrious stomach he is pretty sure to enjoy perfect health, and he can't have that sort of a stomach unless he lives by the clock. (Emporia Gazette.) FIRST VOTERS. The first voters have a clear duty to perform in the pending election. Lest they forget they should refect on his tory so recent as to hardly seem worth reviving so far as older persons are concerned those who had a part in making it and enduring the conse quences. Only once in fifty years hss the democratic party had lull control of governmental affairs. That four year period should be studied by the young men who have no recollection what happened. They ought to know how democratic success became an instan taneous failure. The country then had no confidence in the sagacity of demo cratic statesmen. Big business con cerns immediately began curtailing their output and cancelling orders for material. Confidence was shocked. When nobody believed in the future of business because the business con cerns did not believe in the democratic party it spelled panic. These young men who are voters now were boys then who had no sense of the gravity of the situation. Do they think the democratic party has learned how to govern since then when it has had no experience? If they think a panic would he a good thing; if they think the jieoplc are living so riotously as to threaten the safety of the country and that they ought to be taught a Iwson in hardship and poverty and suffering iu order to bring them hack to c-couomy in living, per haps there would be some sense in their voting to put democracy in power. Still they .should be very careful of their diagnosis of the situa tion lest I hey mistake a mere tempo rary disorder for a functional disease. We do not believe the farmers of Nebraska need to have another such object lesson. They have come into a period of well earned and well de served prosperity. It would be folly for them to undertake a reversal of policies under which they have made such great progress toward comfort and competence. The young voters should consult their elders with respect to the ability of democrats to govern before they decide to put them in position of power. Fremont Tribune. has something to do with the question, but not much. The tariff is the cul prit They make the point that under sixty years of free trade in England wages have increased 87 per cent and they argue from this that the abolition of protection does not bring down wages. Where they get their figures we do not know. Nor does it matter for such figures are misleading. If in sixty years wages have actually ad vanced 87 per cent, one naturally wonders what they could have been when the rise began, for after these sixty years the workingman of Eng land is still very poorly paid when compared with his brother laborer in the United States. And what the democratic minority fails to say, and which is of the ut most importance, is that in England thousands and tens of thousands are out of work and are on the verge of starvation, and that with two or three exceptions the journals of London as cribe this condition to the free trade policy. The increased cost of living is not unique to the United States. It is felt in England, while in Paris the restaurants that cater to the slender purse are raising the price of the table d'hote because the cost of food is so much higher that they are forced to it Are the wage earners of the United States willing to exchange the protect live policy of this country for the free trade policy of England and take chances under the meagre wage scale of England? (Philadelphia Inquirer.) TELEGRAPH FRANKS NO MORE. Today another of the old-time spe cial privileges passes away, and it is not likely to ever come back. On and after this date the telegraph frank is as valueless as confederate money. Congress so willed it at the recent session, sadly fierhaps, hut in recogni- a? . !! a a won oi me lorce oi puoiic opinion. We are now getting lietter telegraph service than formerly. One valued concession is that permitting a fifty word telegraphic letter at night for the price of a ten-word message in the day time, a privilege that is receiving large use and wide appreciation. But the more corporate interests can be reliev ed of doing something for nothing, the better it will be for that portion of the public that has no sjiecial interests to serve. There have been many thou sands of these franks more or less con stantly in service ami their abolition will add to the legitimate revenues of the companies. Certain classes are still exempt from the provisions of the act. These are the officers, agents aud employes of common carriers and their families. Common carriers are de fined as railroad, express, sleeping car, telegraph, telephone, cable, and oil 1 m pipe line companies; also carriers en gaged in transporting passengers or Eroperty partly by railroad and partly y water when under a common con trol.

This metal Is subject to a remarkable kind of alteration, a species of disease to which It Is liable. When exposed to the air tin undergoes no chemical change, as do Iron and copper, which, of course, chemically combine with the oxygen or with water. The tin, how ever, still remains metallic tin, but gradually becomes gray and dull and falls to One powder. The disease Is "catching." It Infects or Induces the same change In other masses of tin in the immediate neigh borhood. We are told that In a Rus sian Imperial magazine, in place of tin uniform buttons, little beans of powder were found. A consignment of Banka tin sent from Rotterdam to Moscow In 1877 arrived at the latter place In the form of iowder. This alteration Is due to a change in the internal crys talline structure of the metal and Is analogous to the slow transformation of monoclinlc sulphur to rhombic sul phur. As a result, objects of tin of archaeological Interest are rare. Those that have been found have been In the form of earthenware vessels, knobs, etc., which have been found In the Swiss lake dwellings coated with tin foil.
