de ASE! ALL ARE FOR BRYAN. ARGUMENTS OF HISTORY ON SIDE OF CHAMPION. Fhe Ten Commandments, If Obeyed by Veters, Would Result in His Eleetion The Sermon on the Motntain and the Martyrs. The Bryan men have a great ad- Vantage in this campaign. The argu- ment is all on their side. The prece- dents of the past are valuable lessons in their favor. In the great joint de- bate now being carried on the wisdom, and virtue of the past and the wisdom and virtue of the present, are on the side of Bryan. “All the good the past hath had Remains to make our own time glad.” And our orators can use it all. They can commence with the ten command- ments: Thou shalt do no murder. Thou shalt not/steal. Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor’s, neither the land of the Filipinos nor the gold mines of the Boers, Then they can quote the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. : Whatsoever ye would that the Fili- Pinos should do to you, do ye also unto them. They can quote the grand words of all the liberty loving men as they come ringing down through the centuries. They can quote from the declaration of independence and the constitution of the United States—the speeches of | Patrick Henry and John Adams, the speeches and writings of Abraham Lincoln, William H. Seward and Charles Sumner, They can quote from the speeches of McKinley in his ear- lier and better days, and even re- cently he has said some good things, namely, forcible annexation would be criminal aggression, and it is our “plain duty” to give free trade to the | Porto Ricans. No orators in all the world’s history | had such rich fields from which to} glean. The ‘history of the past is | kin\ for Bryan. Dead empires | killed by imperialism are working for | All the patriots of history | am Wallace to Paul Kruger for Bryan. The stars in ing for Bryan is working for | SPANISH WAR PENSIONS.

Notwithstanding all this, Re- publicans claim that they are going to win. Faith may have removed moun- tains, but it never yet carried an elec- tion, . , SOUTH AFRICA, The war in the Transyaal is not nearly over and Uncle Paul has got lots of fight in him yet. He issued another proclamation last week, tell- ing his followers to fight on for their homes, their freedom and their native Jand. There were two brisk skir- mishes last week in which the British lost seven officers and thirty men. It is reported from British sources that Louis Schalkburger and 8,000 Boers have assembled at Machedorp, with a large amount of artillery. Dewet, we know, and alsa Botha, and the British know them also, but who is this gen- tleman with the long name? Is it not ‘strange that so many men should en- roll themselves under an unknown general in defense of a cause that has been so often reported lost? This looks like there were still pa- triots enough in the field to worry Johnny Bull for some months or years to come. In the meantime English soldiers are dying of disease like sheep with the rot, and English financiers are borrowing money abroad to pay the increasing cost of the war. ~ IT. Mr. Hanna made a campaign speech the other day down in New Jersey. In the course of that speech he said: “The time is at hand when every man is called upon to contribute what he can to perpetuate this administra- tion,” Hanna is an orator after all. That was a great truth tersely expressed. He included all the principles of his party in one short sentence. He was talking to trust magnates in the chosen home of the trusts and he told themethat the whole.duty of man con- in a liberal contribution. You must come down, boys, or McKinley cannot come up. There was more force in Hanna’s little speech than in all the platitudes of McKinley and the cowboy eloquence of Roosevelt. So far Mr. Hanna has made the only Re- publican speech that will have any in- fluence in favor of the success of his party. SAD FOR BRYANITES. The sad news comes to us that Ted- dy Roosevelt’s voice has failed and that he can make but few speeches, and they will be short. This is a great ca- lamity—to the Bryan men. His splen- did effort at Minneapolis helped our cause in every state. It made many of the mossback Democrats so mad that In 1899 the pensions allowed were 125 to invalids and 178 to widows, Up to July of this year the numbers allowed 926 to invalids and 888 to widows, bad beef and other-food.—Phil- mes. 1 a total of 1,814 in the two} years. In the 30,981 pensions that have | been applied for a great number are | the widows whose husbands died | lisease in unhealthy camps or from | adelphia Ther ll be a pension granted in | the ne: wo years for every soldier in | the Philippines, and they will all be | deserved. Those that are not killed in | battle or do not die of d se will home invalided for life and the | least we canedo for them is to give | them a pension for their blasted hopes i ruined health. And this will con- | tinue in endless iteration so long as we occupy that chosen home of the | that walketh in darkness | the destruction that wasteth at | day. Sixty thousand additional pension claims for every year we Oc- cupy the Philippines. How do the| people like this aspect of McKinley’s imperialism? Now don’t say that the Nonconform- ist is opposed to pensions, for you will tell a lie if you do. This paper is not only in favor of pensioning every hon- | orably come pestilence and no¢ discharged soldier who has | served in any of our wars, but it also favors granting an old age pension to every man and woman who when they reach the age of 60 years have no in- dependent means of support, just as is now done in New Zealand. But while we are in favor of the utmost liber- | ality in pensions we are not in favor | of carrying on useless and unjust wars n order to increase the business of he pension department. HE REPUBLICAN BULWARKS. White, a former Republican Congressman from Kentucky, has left the Republicans and, gives his former associates an awful, bad name. Mr. White was nominated by the Pprohibitionists as their candidate for governor and a part of his acceptance speech is reported as follows: “Mr. White, the nominee’ for gover- nor, said he could not support Mc- Kinley or Yerkes. He declared that ‘the log cabin’ of the Republican party is ‘the bulwark of assassination’ and that the ‘canteen is a greater curse to the country than the Goebel law is to Kentucky.’” Our dear friends, the enemy, are having heaps of trouble this year. There are hundreds of thousands of desertions from the. grand old party. Many are going to the Prohibitionists because the President protects the army canteen; the anti-imperialisfs tare deserting im vast nimbers; the commercial travelers are frightened at ithe menace of trusts; the laboring men iare leaving on account of-McKinley’s friendship to corporations; the Ger- mans and Dutch are going over to ‘Bryan in multitudes on account of | | Democratic party. they came out for Bryan, and Teddy had to apologize for that speech to keep John M. Palmer from joining the When Mr. Roose- velt said that he didn’t include the Democrats that voted for McKinley in the list of cowards Mr, Palmer felt better and concluded not to bolt Mc- Kinley’s nomination. Teddy will secure the earnest sym- pathy of all the Bryan men in his be- reavement, and they will hope that his swelling speech, so cruelly repress- ed, may not cause an internal explo- sion. WHICH M’KINLEY. Mr. Bryan’s reply to a Republican during his speech at the great meeting at Wahoo last week was very neat in- deed. We extract from the Bee’s re- port: At this point some one in the crowd shouted: “Hurrah for McKinley!” to which Mr, Bryan responded: “Now, I don’t know whether that man is hur- rahing for the McKinley that denounc- ed Grover Cleveland or the one fol- lowing in Cleveland’s footsteps. I want to assure you that I do not object to any one cheering for McKinley, but I think. that you owe it to the audi- ence to describe which McKinley you are cheering for when you are cheer- ing.” (Applause and cheers.) CAN’T SEE. “Webster Davis is doing his new allies little service by his labored ef- | forts to prove that the reception of the Boer envoys in this country showed a secret understanding between our government and that of Great Britain. He fails to show wherein such an un- derstanding, if it were possible, would be detrimental to this country, and he simply calls attention to it to create a sensation out of the envoys Visit.” —Philadelphia Ledger. A candid confession is good for the soul. The Record can not see where- in a secret alliance with Great Britain would be detrimental to this country. CHANGED THEIR MINDS. When Mr. McKinley acquired the bad habit of changing his mind he furnished a precedent for his follow- ers. Many other Republicans are fol- lowing his example. In imitation of the President they have also changed their minds and are supporting Bry- an. Here are a few of them among mary thousaads: Ex-Governor Bout- well, Carl Shurz, Webster Davis, Sen- ator Wellington, Congressman John- son, Judge Hallett, Gamalial Brad- ford, Edgar H. Bancroft and Patrick Eagan, The extensive arid regions of north- ern Mexico are to be irrigated by can- als from aid extended by the federal and state governments. Too Tame for Him. “No,” said the St. Louis man, “I didn’t enjoy the street car ride you gave me. -The scenery was all right and the roadbed good, but it was too tame.” “Tame?” “Yes.

In 1873 a silver dollar was worth one dollar and six-tenths in gold, and in 1896 forty-five cents. Money may de- preciate but there is one standard med- icine, which has not changed in half a century, and that is Hostetter’s Stom- ach Bitters. It always has been the one remedy for indigestion, dyspepsia or kidney troubles.

WEDS A WHITE GIRL, The Bridegroom Was an Aged Negro Who Loved the Bride When . She Was a Child. “Boss, we wants to be married.” Justice Colding of Camden looked up from his desk and before him was an old negro, bent with age, with hair as white as snow and face as black as charcoal. by his side was a young white woman, well dressed, not over thirty years of age. She would not be called pretty, but her features were clear cut and refined. Her voice, too, was soft and well modulated as she asked. “We don’t have to have a license, do we?” Justice Colding is a negro, but, ‘sur- prised at this unusual match, he asked the woman why she wanted to marry a colored man. “Because I learned to love him when { was a little girl,” she said. “He worked on my father’s farm.” The man said his name was Burrell Bland and his intended wife was Eliz- abeth Haines of Philadelphia. He lived on his own farm, near Woodbury. Neither had ever been married. Justice Colding perfermed the cere- mony, at the conclusion of which the old negro took her face between his wrinkled hands and said, fervently: “De Lord bless you, honey.” The woman began to cry and in re- sponse to her aged husband’s anxious inquiry, sai “I don’t care what they say, I love you, Uncle Rell.” Justice Colding received a fair-sized fee fromeshe groom, who left the office with hig face covered with smiles. The bride was softly weeping.—PhiladeIphia * North American. $24.00 PER WEEK To men with rigs to introduce our Poultry Compound among farmers. Address with stamp, Acme Mfg. Co., Kansas City, Mo.

How Mothers may Help — heir Daughters into Womanhood: Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thought- less girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. well-being of her. daughter, children also. . When the youn, she experiences hea, As she cares for the physical so will the woman be, and her girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when aches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and 4 dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly.
