The drift of the free-silver element toward the Populist party is illustrated by the action of the Canton, Ohio, FreeSilver Club, which the other day decided to abandon the Democracy, and not only cast its lot with the Populist party, but advise all other friends of silver todoso. This club, which was denominated the “Bryan Free-Silver ind; of Canton, Ohio,” was.one.of. the. strongest silver organizations in the State last year, and an active supporter of Bryan’s Presidential candidacy. Its renunciation of the Democracy and transfer of allegiance to the Populist party is therefor the more significant. The resolutions which it adopted are as follows: “We have seen the Democratic party this year denounce the national-banking system, trusts and monopolies, and then nominate a national banker, monopolist and member of trusts for Govblemish is recorded. Its location is aoernor of the great State of Ohio, and, if placed in power, this same party will elect a multi-milliovaire, monopolist, bondholder, member of trusts, and nonpronounced and characteristic, as it is resident as United States Senator from} usually a more severe wound that peneOhio in the person of John R.

While a good many people know in a general way of the Bertillon system oaratively few know of the simple method which Uncle, Sam has been asing for a number of years past to keep track of the men who eat his rations and wear his uniform in the regular army. Thesystem employed by the war fepartment might be termed the ‘‘nataral method’’ and is at ouve simple and ingenious. It does away with all apparatus except a vertical measuring rod and a pair of scales. It is known as ‘‘the scar system”? and has been found wonderfully effective. There is an unwritten theory in the army that every man who enlists will at some time or other desert. This is not entirely true, ,but the desertions are numerous enough to make it worth while to keep track of the offenders. In war the penalty for desertion is death, ‘put in peace it-ts-a-long term of tmprisonment, and the subject is liable to punishment no matter how long aterm has elapsed since his offense was committed. Strange as it may seem, the men who desert most readily are the. ones who straightway go back and enlist again, though usually in some remote section of the country. The “recruiting card,’’ as it is called, is big enough to contain two 6 inch outlines of a man’s form, front and rear view, with a good sized border for marginal notes. When the reoruit is stripped for his physical examination, he is gone over from head to foot, and every appreciable scar or permanent skin surately noted by a dot on the card, and its description is written on the margin. The hands and face usually have the greatest number of scars, but those on the body are apt to be the more on the flesh beneath. Moles are also other birthmarks or blemishes ‘ that would not ordinarily disappear with time. The question may arise as to what if marks. .That would be enough to identity him, for in all the thousands of men bore less than three clearly defined scars, while seven or eight is the more Further, so ‘infinite are the chances of and she number and. location of their scars came anywhere near coinciding. — Slum Work In London.
