An interview is credited to Mr. Bland wherein heis made to say that if the Democratic National Conven- | tion in 1896 refuses to declare for free silver there will bea diyision between the eastern and western democracy, and further that the di- vision seems to him to be inevitable anyway. If Mr. Bland is correctly reported, he has not only been very indisereet, but has assumed to lead a bolt against the democratic party which true, loyal democrats will op- pose, no matter in what section of this great government their lots may be cast. Asa loyal democrat, Mr. Bland has that right to advocate any policy he may choose for the adoption by the party convention, but he has no right as a party man to condition his support upon it's action on the silver question. Mr. Bland will find there is a vast differ- ence between leading the silver forces within the democratic party | in an effort to have the party adopt a platform friendly to the white met- al and leading a bolt against that party after it’s platform has been adopted. There are other and to our mind greater questions in the democratic party than the silver question and all of these will be giv- en their proper consideration in the National convention. After the party platform has been adopted, if Mr. Bland is dissatisfied with it's DEMOCRATIC TIMES. The era of prosperity which has tdawned upon our country under | democratic administration of affairs jis mighty good for the people but | mighty bad for republican and pop- | ulist prospects. One year ago when | the financial panic, brought on by republican misrule and extravagance, was at its height, the republicans were jubilant over the “box the * | democrats had broken into,” and as | an honest democrat we must confess the prospects were anything but flattering, considering the magni- tude of the panic and the compara- had to overzome it. But thanks to the action of a democratic congress in repealing pernicious and harmful financial laws of a republican con- gress, and the prompt and effective tration, in the remarkably short period of one year the clouds have rolled away and peace and plenty abound where pale faced want, un- certainty and threatened disaster stalked before. If the democratic party is not suc- cessful in the next precidential elec- tion by overwhelming majorities it will be because of internal etrife and not because the principles of the party are at fault. The financial rock seems to be the only dangerous breaker to pass and we are impressed with the belief that a pilot will be found who will steer the democratic ship clear of this rock. OUR MEROHARTS.

Senator Bledsoe was nom- inated by acclamation and elected without opposition to the senate jand he has made a good record as a legislator and we doubt if the. dis- trict could do better than to nomi- nate and elect the grand old hero of battery fame.

The loss in St. Louis was over) 5,000. But in the face of this disas ter the fact should not be overlook- ed that these votes were rot record- ed for the republican candidates for in the entire state their gain was less than 2,000—no more than the ratio of increased population would give them. Here are some reliable | democratic counties: Bollinger, Buchanan, Butler, Carter, Clark, Cooper, Davess, Howell, Johnson, McDonald, Montgomery. Morgan, Pettis, Phelps, St. Clair, Schuyler, Texas, Washington and Wayne. All the close counties were-lost. A fair test in this state will give the re- publicans about forty members in the lower house and some ten sena- tors. Ifthe republicans can convince 40,000 or 50,000 democrats that it is their duty to stay away from the pollsat the approaching election, then they may hope to carry the state. Such a calamity is not to be} anticipated, however. The demo crats will all be out election day, andthe hungry republicans, who are now within sight of the lunch counter, will be driven back in de- spair. Mark Twain Very Il. Vancover, B.

He is in very poor health, and the voyage is un dertaken in the hope that change of of air and freedom from worry may avert the collapse which appears to threaten him.

CO, SPANISH BUTCHERS. i Thirty-Seven Cubans, Mostly Women and Children Massacred. New York, Sept. 6.—A letter from Juan Maspous Franco, chief of staff under Gomez, commander in chief of the Cuban insurgents, tells a hor- | rible story of Spanish cruelty, thirty- seven Cubans, mostly women and children, being massacred. Tuesday morning a company of insurgents under Jose Rabi took the fortress at the city of Baire, killed nearly a hundred Spaniards and took fifty-six prisoners. An hour later three companies of Spanish troops came up, and after a short but sharp resistance the Cubans fled, leaving the invaders. When the fort had been regarri- soned with Spaniards one of the companies broke loose and began to pillage the city. Commander Gar- rido, Col. Franco states, led the uniformed rioters The Spaniards were wild for the spilling of blood. Every human creature who came in their path was ruthlessly slain. Within five minutes the streets of Baire were deserted by the panic- | stricken natives, but the Spaniards | followed them irto their houses aud | killed them in their rooms. “Age. sex and condition were wholly disregarded by these liveried butchers,” says Col. Franco. “Old and young women, children, even infants, were slaughtered. Shocking indignities were offered to the un- fortunate victims before and after death. The Spanish soldiers stamp- ed on the bodies of those whom they had slain, and ground their heels into the faces of men who were still living.” Senorita Delores Mader, a beauti- |» ful girl engaged to be married, was hanged to a tree and riddied with bullets. Thirty-seven in all were killed. Will be Bailea. Exeelsior Springs, Mo., Sept. 6 — Tke friends of Dr. Geo. W. Fraker do not seem to encounter any trouble about securing names to go on his bond. Some of the most prominent men in town say they would not hesitate a moment if asked. | One of the doctor's most bitter! enemies, who is a physician, remark- that any man would be perfectly safe in singing the bond. The only thing now lacking is for the court at Richmond to fix the amount of bond, and it will be fur- nished. The story that the man may not be Fraker is discredited, eyen by those who doubted it until they saw ee and talked with him. | Ment will be rendered accordi Ogden, Ill, Sept. 5 —The Ogden Brick and Tile factory was destroyed by fire, having been struck by light- ning.

LY KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the eae of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the ref; ing and truly benefici ies of a perfect lax- ing the system, dispelling colds, hes and fevers at permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Hes is for sale by all drug- gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every kage, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered.
