Maeon says Bry­ an's speech of acceptance was like the Platte river--1,000 miles long, and 0 inches deep. Silver is the money of the poor man, say the Popocrats. So it is. It is the money of the poor man of Mexico, of Japan, of China, of India--and you won't find a poorer man anywhere than the poor man of those countries. Spain, it seems, wants the United States to apologiz° for something or an­ other. The truth of the matter is, thin country owes an apology to the civilized world for allowing Spain to pursue so long a career of butchery in Cuba. JohnTt.Tanner says: ^'Contrast Democratic and Republican 'financiering in Illinois, if you please. When,""in 1857, the Republican party came into power the state was burdened with an enorm­ ous bonded debt, which some prominent Democrats believed it impossible ever to pay and they openly advocated its repu­ diation. In twenty-four years the Re­ publican party paid this debt, dollar for dollar, principal and interest.- From the year 1870 to 1892 the treasury was never without a working balance large enough to admit of the payment of every claim in full upon presentation. Audi­ tor's warrants upon the treasurer of Illinois were as good as gold, and ac­ cepted at par, just as the paper of the government at Washington passes cur­ rent throughout the United States. It was left for the Democratic party of Ill­ inois, as soon as they found themselves in power, to reverse this policy, and plunge the state-into--temporary bank­ ruptcy. They are a party.of borrowers, both in the state and in the nation, with 6o little foresight or courage, or both, that they dare not provide the revenue to meet the ntcessarj expenses of the gO 'verment, as voted by themselves. They apparently have no confidence in the permanency of their own tenure of office; but always expect to be turned out at the next election, and think they can gain a temporary advantage by creating a deficit, ^"then .leaving it as a bequest to their political opponents. This is the precise financial record which Governor Altgeld's administration has made for Illinois, and is a striking par­ allel to the record of President Cleve­ land's financial administration at Wash­ ington." BOURKE COCKRAN'S GREAT SPEECH. Bourke Cockran's answer to Bryan was delivered before a va.-t audience at Mad­ ison Square Garden in New York city, Friday evening. It was a masterly ef­ fort. The arguments of the "Boy Ora­ tor" in favor of the five coinage of siver were completely demolished. Mr. CockraD's speech -surpassed any address that he ever delivered in close and philo­ sophical reasoning, in clear statement of those broad and deep distinctions be­ tween the false and true in economic and public policy, and in powerful appeals to the good sense, the common honesty and, the abiding loyalty of Amci ican citizen­ ship. He plainly showed that not volume, but activity of money is the essential thing. To the notion that government can create money, he replied that gov­ ernment creates nothing. To the plea that prices would be raised by cheap money, he answered by exposing in all its nakedness the conspiracy to rob labor of part of its earnings by reducing the purchasing power of wages. Tbrough- Bu tter on the Elgin Board of Trade Monday was steady. Offerings, 8G,880 pounds. Sales, 2,400 pounds at 10 cents, 27,180 pounds at 17 cents. But­ ter last week sold for 17 cents, a year ago 20@10& cents. 16?" Let no reader of the PLAIXDEALEK fail to read every word of the letter of acceptance of Hon. U m. McKinley, whicti can be found in full on the inside pages of this paper. It is a master-piece from be­ ginning to end. Read it carefully. out Mr. Cockran made the condition of the wage earner the test of the Populist theory, 1ST" Wm. J. Bryan's '"invasion of the enemy's country" came to about as in­ glorious a termination as General Lee's invasion of the same country thirty- three years ago. Bryan met his Gettys­ burg in New York and Lee met his in Pennsylvania--that's the only difference. t©°° A newspaper states that a poll of Mr. Bryan's home precinct in Lincoln shows that he will get a minority of the votes of his neighbors. How different at Canton, Ohio, where McKinley lives, On a recent occasion Bryan attempted to deliver a little speech there but was un­ able to say more than ten words on ac­ count of the cheers that rang out for McKinley. I®"After all, the question resolves it­ self into this, even though hundreds of millions of dollars be coined how are the people going to get them? Evidently they can t do so without giving some­ thing in exchange for them. If they have that something to give they can get the dollars now. And there never was a time when a dollar would go so far in purchasing the necessities of life as it will to-day. 1^5^ When you hear a man preach that under the free and unlimited coinage of silver, gold and silver will float side by side on an exact parity, ask him if he would be willing to sign a note pay­ able in gold or its equivalent. Ten chances to one he would refuse. He knows that under such a policy the gold dollar will havealmost twice thepurchas- ing power of the silver dollar. The Financial News Forgery, No publication of the Populists and Democrats has been more widely circu­ lated than a leaflet which purports to giye a quotation from the London Fin­ ancial News of March 10, 1896, express­ ing the opinion that the adoption of free coinage of silver, -in the United States would be disadvantageous to England and helpful to the trade and business of thio country. Millions of this document have been published and circulated by the Democratic and Populist committees and scores ofietters have been received from business men and farmers asking about the character of the paper publish­ ing such a statement, and as to whether any such statement was ever published by the London Financial News. The publishers of that paper say in the issue of Aug. 13 : '• No such article wa« ever printed by us and its whole tenor is directly opposed to the view we have taken of the effect of free silver in the Lnited States." This leaves the question of deliberate forgery to be explained by those who have circulated the document --Inter-Ocean. UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. The administration of the University is placed by law in a - board of trustees; consisting of the Governor, President of the State Board of Agriculture and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and nine members elected directly by the people.' At the present time Chicago gives three members, and I)wight, Car- bondale, Odin, Sidney, Macomb a fid Springfield one each. The internal ad­ ministration is in the hands of President A. S. Draper and the faculty. The University is located in Champaign county, between the cities of Champaign and Urbana, and had is origin in virtue of "Land Grant Act" of 1862, whereby the national government donated large tracts of land to the state for education­ al purposes. A deal of this land has been sold,to get the ready "money, but considerable is still held and yields a rev­ enue. As an inducement for its location in its present posftion Champaign do­ nated a large brick seminary building, 1,000 acres of land and §100,000 in county bonds. It was opened in 1868 '-'to provide for the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life," and the number of students in attend­ ance was 77. The present year the at­ tendance is estimated at 1,000 or more. The University grounds are laid put as a beautiful park, with its various build­ ings artistically placed. About 700acres are taken np and within are located six large buildings: University Hall, Ma­ chinery Hall, Chemical Labratory, Nat­ ural History Hall, Military Hail and Engineering Building,, while on State street, near Polk, in Chicago, is located the large School of Pharmacy building. The University is divided into four colleges, Agriculture, Engineering, Science and Literature, and the departments of these are called schools. The college of Engineering embraces five departments, architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical and sanitary. The college of science is divided into four groups, natural, chen - ical, mathematical and philosopical. The Natural History group embraces botany, physiology, zoology, geology and minerology, nine rooms being devot­ ed to botany and as many, more to physiology and zoology, and the oppor­ tunities for studying biology are unsur­ passed. The collfge of Literature com­ prises thirteen departments. Among' the most interesting features presented to the . visitor are the various museums embracing immense collections of zoolog­ ical subjects, botanical specimens and geological specimens, and lastly the irreat art gallery, with its numerous statues and casts. The Library of over 80,000 volumes and so on. Several musical organizations have sprang up among the students.

By his resignation the department is well rid of an arbitrary martinet, whose unfairness in the treatr ment of the Pension Bureau is a subject of just criticism. Hoke don't like the Union war veteran and it is no wonder that his hostility has engendered hard .feelings on the other side and a mutual dislike all around. l@?"The city of Aurora has run against a snag in its building operations. The city has been endeavoring to rebuild the city hall without borrowing money, and might have succeeded if large portion of the roof had not fallen in the other day. 7his necessitated an additional expendi­ ture, and under the emergency clause in the State law governing cities, the mayor has been trying to negotiate a loan of $13,000 with the banks. The banks will not let the money go. They that they propose to take care of customers, but would loan a dollar John Jacob Aetor himself if he did not to be a customer.

(A voice: "Are you a Demo­ crat? " ) Yes, I am myself that, but you can call me by any name you please. William J. Bryan at Mt. Vernon, 111., March 17, 1896: I am not a Democrat. William J. Bryan at all places and times: "I'm out for votes, a Populist here, a Democrat there, an Anarchist with Altgeld, a Socialist with Tillman. When in Rome I do as the Romans do. I am for William Jennings' Bryan, first, last and all the time. Vote for me!" Cheap Excuraiong to the West and Northwest On August 4, 18, September 1, 15, 29.
