STKEET'S BRYAN BANNER.
Another Bryan banner was floated in
the Wall street district yesterday , close
to the one put up by Richard Oroker at
the corner of Rector street and Broad
way. The new banner hangs across
Wall street , from the United Bank
building , at No. 2 , to the building at
No. 7. On the banner , which attracted
great attention as soon as it was up ,
are no portraits , but only these senti
ments :
"If there is any one who believes the
gold standard is a good thing or that it
must be maintained , I warn him not to
cast his vote for me , because' I promise
him it will not be maintained in this
country longer than -I am able to get
rid of it. " William Jennings Bryan ,
Knoxville , Tenn. , September , 1896. "
"The party stands where it did in
1896 on the money question. " William
Jennings Bryan , Zanesville , Ohio , Sep
tember 4 , 1900.
It was rumored at first that the ban
ner had been floated by free silver men
who did not relish the way Mr. Oroker
had left out free silver when he con
cocted his banner for Wall street. This
was not so. Members of the New York
stock exchange and the consolidated ex
change who had noted the omission of
Mr. Bryan's free silver views from the
Broadway banner thought it best to
remedy the omission. Earnest Groes-
beck , a governor of the stock exchange ,
started the fund to buy the banner and
a few of his friends completed the sub
scription. Mr. Groesbeok , who super
intended the raising of the banner ,
said :
"I think it expresses the opinion of
Wall street regarding Mr. Bryan's atti
tude. That banner in Broadway hav
ing somewhat omitted to mention
money views , we thought it might be
a good idea to bring them to the atten
tion of the public. In ordering the
banner I merely clipped out of the
Evening Sun the quotations from Mr.
Bryan's speeches that that newspaper
has been printing each day at the head
of its editorial page. "
The hundreds of persons who saw
the banner after it was floated were
quick to see the point. Chicago Inter-

Manufacturing Co. , of New York have
secured a contract for supplying and
applying their Asbestos Fire Felt Cov

brine pipes at the Havana brewery ,
Havana , Cuba. We learn that they are
sending skilled labor from New York
to carry out their contract and it is the
first instance of this kind that has come
to our notice. There are a number of
new power plants being constructed in
Havana , and the H. W. Johns Manu
facturing Oo. believe in being on the
field with- their skilled labor and ma

JUST VANISHING.
Ah I Where is summer ? 8ho was hero
Just now with shimmering crown 1
Beyond the hill-top she is near ;
Or in the corn-fields brown
Where rustling plumes appear.
This moment she was passing by ,
And glows of radiant haze
And all the gayest tints that lie
O'er coming Autumn's ways
Shone out as she went by.
Not far away the summer goes ,
Her voice with echoing calls
Where'er the singing river flows ,
Where'er a flower falls ,
In each soft wind that blows.
She loiters in the woodland's shade
Where falling , fluttering leaves
With scarlet fleck the peacefnl glade ,
Or out 'midst harvest sheaves ,
The summer may have strayed.
Just on beyond the summer goes ,
And joys of beauteous days
That reached the heart o'er breath of rose ,
Are vanishing in golden haze
As smilingly she goes.
MAUY FRENCH MOUTON.
THE PASSING OF GEORGE FRED
WIIXIAMS.
The rebuke administered on Wednes
day to George Fred Williams by the
democrats of Worcester and the sur
rounding ( /owns constituting the Third
Congressional District [ by the renomi-
nation of John R. Thayer , the demo
crat who supported the Gold-Standard
Act ] was severe and punitive. It sig
nifies that the term of this swaggering ,
would-be boss of the democratic party
in Massachusetts is coming to an end.
It signifies further that the democrats
of the state are in open revolt against
having 16 to 1 made the shibboleth of
party fealty hereafter. They never be
lieved in it as a party , and fewer of
them now believe in it than at any time
since 1896. For its reafflrmation in the
Ohicago platform they do not care a
rap , and they will treat it with silent
contempt or open indignity as circum
stances may dictate. The passing of
that doctrine of fraud and dishonor
means the passing of George Fred Wil
liams as the master of the democratic
organization in this state. Boston Her
