Tomorrow Is Hallowe en. The Her
aid has bad the good fortune to se
cnre for Its readers an original story
appropriate to the day. written espe
cially for this paper by Mrs. Uisalle
Corbell Pickett whose late husband
General tJeorge K. Pickett was one
of the most striking figures of the
civil war. The story entitled "The
Haunted Chapel" is a fascinating one
and should be widely read.
VALUES OF F .n HIN6 LAND"?.
Mr. Bryan shows bow little of
real thinker be is by asserting that
everywhere farm lands have greatly
decreased in value. This is readily
shown to be an untruth. The abso
lute economic truth is that farm lands
all over the world have been rapidly
equalizing in value owing to the in
fluence of railroads steamships and
other improvements in communication
At the beginning of this century the
only farming lands In this country of
actual value were those of the narrow
strip of tidewater country along the
Atlantic which could be reached by
the little ships that carried their pro
duce acre's the ocean. Iand even so
near as the Shenandoah valley had
little real value because it cost more
than the wheat and corn they would
raise was worth to haul them over the
mountains to the nearest shipping
port. Coon ins were their most val
uable product.
The digging of the Erie canal great
ly increased In value a wide stretch
of lands in western New York and
alone the great lakes. It decreased
proportionally for a time until they
could change their products the value
of the tidewater lands. The develop
ment of the railroad worked an entire
revolution.
When it became possible for a bo
nanza farmer til Dakota to raise a
bushel of wl.eat at a cost of 25 cents
and ship it to Liverpool for another
25 cents farming values not only on
the Atlantic coast but in England
and all over Europe had to shrink
enormously while the price of what
had previously been valueless lands
in Dakota. Kansas and elsewhere.
rose to quotable prices. In the same
way the immensely valuable orange
and lemon-growing lands in Italy and
Spain depreciated and those in Flori-
da and California greatly appreciated
when railroads and steamships broke
the monopoly the Italian and Spanish
growers had of the citrus markets of
the world.
We see all sorts of changes in the
value of farming lands in our own
country effected by the development
of cheap transportation. Great stretch
es of almo.-t worthless lands in Geor-
gia. Alabama. Tennessee. Kentucky
Arkansas. I-ouisiana. Texas and else-
where have become very valuable for
raising watermelons peaches grapes
early apples strawberries and vege
tables. There are small peach or-
chards in the Shenandoah valley that
yield more money product than a whole
county would formerly in corn wheat
and cattle. One farmer at Mount Mor-
ris. N. J. gets $I2.0w a year off thir
ty-seven acres of celery. A half-acre
of Bartlett pears has leen known to
realize $2500 worth of fruit. Iowa the
lands of which fifty years ago. were
hardly worth the entering price of
$1.25 an acre now makes more actual
money off her butter and cheese than
California does from her gold.
When Mr. Bryan wants o make a
demogogic statement he deliberately
shuts his eyes to all the facts clear
as sunlight which are against it.
The assessors" books of the I'nited
States show that despite the terrible
competition which our fathers have
had to encounter from the cheap lands
and pauper labor of the wheat-growers
of Russia. Argentine and the le
vant: from the exceptional advantages
of the wool growers of Australia. South
Africa and South America which the
railroads and steamships have brought
against them in the markets of the
world the general value of farming
property has Increased at n very
healthy rate.
o
DEMOCRATS ON DEMOCRACY.
This campaign has !een remarkable
in no way more than in the large
nunilxT of masterly documents it has
called forth from democrats in which
they explain why they cannot possibly
vote for the nominee of what Is left
of their party. It Is noteworthy that
every democrat who refuses to sup-
Krt the nominee of the "demcrat!c"
party feels called upon to make a
public apology and explanation of his
conduct.
Some time ago The Herald printed
In full the article hy Cleveland's comp-
troller of the currency in which he
presents in succinct and incisive lan
guage the reasons why no democrat
can vote for Bryan this year. There
Is no democratic ticket hence demo
crats who are patriotic and consistent
will vote for McKinley as the only can
didate who stands for what is good and
right In matters of governmental pol-
icy. One of the strongest letters that have
been written during the campaign is
mi! or ex-postmaster general Don M.
Dlikinson. In defining the issues of
the campaign and telling why he will
vot this year for McKinley. General
Dickinson uses these trenchant words:
Since the adoption of the Kansas
City platform and his nomination I
hnve never entertained a thought cf
voting for Mr. Bryan.
1 confess however that in common
with very many democrats. I hoped
for a tim that 1 might with a clear
conscience stay away from the polls.
But Mr. Bryan's speeches particularly
his later ones have 'destroyed that
il'usion and convinced me that I must
vote at the coming election.
I criticise no man of different views
who can reconcile himself to the other
course but as for me. with the light
I have. I am forced to the conviction
that I would be a recreant American
false to my country and false to my
party as well if I should take to the
woods.
I could not be a republican if I
would. rnd I say the creed of democ-
racy with all my old-time sincerity
and faith. But I recognize scarcely a
vestige of democratic principle in eith-
er the Cincago or Kansas City plat
form. The organization is in the hands
of the populists and by these the liv-
ery of true democracy has been stolen
in which to serve all the devils that
make for social disorder.
Mr. Bryan Is preaching the gospel of
hate. Voicing that he appeals to the
envious the discontented the improvi-
dent. th ineonictent and the unwor-
thy idle.
He speaks no encouragement to the
unsuccessful but tells him to lay the
blame at the door of his more fortunate
neighbor and that his sole remedy is
to attack him.
He invariably scaks of creditors as
merciless creditors" and to the debt
or he teaches that his friend who has
loaned him money or trusted him is
his enemy.
When a man fails and becomes de
spondent he does not seek to Inspire
him with the American spirit of per-
Feverance. he does not appeal to him
to be up and doing and to try again
but he tells hi in to stop living ami
that the remedy is to pull down the
more successful.
And there has been no more striking
commentary on the above in print that
the following editorial from the New
York Times a staunch democratic
newspaper of the "old line" the pa
per that did more than any other to
down the notorious Tweed ring and
now once more Hits its voice against
the forces of corruption within its own
party. Says the Times:
"False to my country and false to
my party as well. That is the whole
use. and it could not be better put.
No man can do his country greater in-
Jurv than to assist in placing an In
apable and dangerous man in an of
fice. How can any democrat let the
landers of "imperialism even though
to him they appear real and substan-
tial blind .him to the calamities he
Invites bv supporting for the presi-
lencv. a man of trick and deceit a
pestilent agitator who Is continually
appealing to class hatred ignorance
and mob passion?
The betraval of party involved in the
support of Bryan is equally plain to
view. The election of Bryan wun
its unimaginable consequences of dis-
ster to the well-being and the honor
of the nation would make the name
of democrat so abhorred that no man
would have the hardihood to wear it
The partv would be annihilated by the
storm of public execration that would
be visited upon the authors of the
ruin and usgrace inevuaoiy resumng
from four years of Bryanism at N ash-
ington. Fidelity to party loyalty to the olrt-
time principles demands that demo
crats now vote to keep tne new ano
false democracy out of power.
Defeat alone Is salvation.
o
Bryan's open and active alliance
with Croker and the Tammany gang
is going to hurt him Immeasurably in
the west where Croker's name is
synonymous with all that is unclean
and dishonest in political liossism. Up
In Kansas the republican managers
used Bryan's recent remark at Tam-
many's twelve-dollar-a-plate dinner
Great is Tammany and Croker is its
prophet" to put the quietus on the
democrats. In the hours of the night
after that break of the candidate was
flashed over the wires county after
ounty was placarded with ' posters
ontaining only these words of Bryan's
and the effect on the grand democratic
rallies that had been planned for the
following day was anything but pleas-
nt.
o
It is true there has lxen no great
listurbance of business during the
losing days of the campaign. Bryan-
ites argue from this that business men
re not afraid of any thing bad result
ing from Bryan's election. On the con
trary the fact simply shows that busi-
ness men are not afraid of Bryan be-
ing elected.
o
The Russian government and the
Standard Oil are in an offensive and
defensive alliance to control the oil
trade of the world. The Borneo oil
fields are disturbing them temporarily
but they will soon go the way of all
oil.
o
The prettiest piece of campaign pol-
itics that has happened along this time
is the successful throttling of A It geld
by Bryan's managers. There must le
a whole lot of story hack of Altgeld's
comparative reticence.
o
Willie Waldorf Astor is getting am-
phibious: he can't live in lndon and
he'd die in New York. KI Paso Is al-
ways willing to welcome him if he
will bring some taxable property
along.
o
In the popocratic millennium we'll
all get two-dollar dollars In wages and
pay fifty-cent dollars to creditors;
we'll have a regular jug-handled para-
dise of a time.
o
What is the matter with sprinkling
some of El Paso's streets with crude
oil to keep down the dust? It is cheap-
er than paving and nearly as effec-
tual. o
The Kansas City Journal is auxious
to know whether the country's great-
est danger is from a standing army a
sitting congress or lying politicians.
There is no necessity of swearing
out a search warrant when yon want
to get any information from Roose-
velt. o
Graf Waldersee gets $45000 a year
for being a cominander-in-chief and
curling his moustache like the kaiser.
Jerry Simpson cries aloud that "Kan-
sas has gone crazy and will give Mc-
Kinley a majority."
o
It is a mysterious dispensation of
providence which makes some men
democrats.
Scharz says "Mr. Bryan is four years
older now than he was in lS9fi."
o
Shades of Jefferson. Jackson. Tilden
Cleveland: Is this democracy?
Mr. Bryan can always come to El
Pa.-o and rest his lungs.
Bryan thinks prosperity is a "sordid
argument."
o
Voting by mail is proposed in the
north.

today the last of the survivors of the I
j charge of the Light Brigade at Bala- j
klava is gone. Some tears should be
reserved however as other survivors
may die at any time. For nearly fifty
years the death of Balaklava surviv-
ors has leen patiently chronicled and
it cannot be that the last has now-
passed away.
A reunion of the various notables of
history would be an interesting occa-
sion. Of course it would have to be
j held in a city with an auditorium of
the size of the convention hall. There
is the man who fired the first gun In
the war of the rebellion. He would
probably take up a quarter of the arena
lloor. Next to his section might be
assigned the man who did similar ser-
vice In the Spanish war. The third
quarter would be occupied by the man
who was first at the top of San Juan
hill while the remainder of the floor j
could be given to the veteran who j
held Ouster s horse at the Llttie tug
Horn. Platform seats would by gener-
al consent be reserved fo rthe Bala-
klava survivors although It Is doubt-
rut whether they could be accommo-
dated there. But if room were lacking

A section of the arena balcony might
be set aside for Washington s body

Cervera's fleet coming out of Santiago
harbor would have only the steel gird-

into requisition to accommodate the
person who made the first authentic
picture of the Galveston flood ruins.
HMLOWE EN
The Festival is a Jolly One. ana the
Fun Should Be Free and Uncon-
fined. Hallowe'en is not given the attention
and respect that it deserves. Tor of
II the feasts. Christian and pagan it
is the kindliest for the lover and his
lass. It is really a time for divina-
tions when spirits of the living walk
abroad and magic herbs tell love se
crets.
But the days of kail gardens church
yards cellars attics and big fire
places and candles nave gone by and
with them have gone the background
best suited to the observances of the
evening. Modern steam heating and
electric lighting pocket handkerchief
door yards and concreted back yards
are no setting for witches fairies hob-
goiiltns. elves and spirits glad to help
lovelorn mortals to know their fate.
It is all too glaring too practical
too reasonable and too scientific to-
day to observe the ancient rites of
Hallowe'en but there Is a love of the
mvstic a faint belief in the potency of
divinations left and many will be the
jolly Hallowe'en trials tricks parties
and games and the lover will flirt with
his lass despite the electric lights.
Ghost parties or sheet and pillow
case parties are the only possible kind
for the last night or October. Tha
ghosts must also be marked and the
lights dimmed. Bobbing for apples to
blindfold each person and have him
choose from the thra-e saucers roast
ing pairs of chestnuts and other an
cient devices are not impossible today.
The roasting chestnuts must le named
for a girl and a man. and if they burn
off by itself so will he or she for
whom it is named leave the other.
Fortune telling by palmistry or by
cards Is a ravorlte entertainment for
Hallowe'en parties and a resurrected
Ouija Uiard is an appropriate spirit
for the occasion.
