EDITOR WILLIAM 4. STEAD overlooked
all the abundant opportunities for mis-
sionary work in London and came all
the way across the ocean to effect the
moral renovation of Chicago. The con-
clusion is inevitable that as a reformer
Mr.. Stead is either insinoere or inoompe-
tent. Had he real desire to make the
world better, and had his neighbors and
own people confidence in him, there was
no lack of opportunity for the exercise
of his great ability in good works right
at home. II for any good reason he
failed at home his failure abroad NAV
be confidently predicted. If he had
any measure of success at home the
field in London is greater than in Chi
cago, and the need of laborsrs more
urgent. Editor Stead is making n
rather picturesque exhibition OF him
self on this side of the water, but nfter
he has gone away people will be glad OF
it and will not be able to discover that
he has effected any considerable good
results.

Two disting Japanese bankers
are visiting the mines and smelters of
Colorado for the purpose of thoroughly
understanding the financial policy of
the United States. They express sur
prise that this country does not care to
extend trade relations with Japan and
the Orient by adopting blmetallic
standard, SO as to use it's silver in those
countries that employ silver only as
money. When they have continued
their journey as far as New York they
will discover that it is London that is
debating the financial policy OF this
country and not our own interests.

WITH the Inauguration of war the oc-
cupation Of the traitor is revived. How

to honorable men it is, perhaps, neces-
sary incident Of war. 1t seems that
President Peixoto, OF Brazil, is sur.
rounded by traitors and hedged about
by spies, his own camp being his great
est source Of danger. His plans are be,
trayed as fast as formed, and his enc
mics kept fully posted as to his every
movement. Admiral Mello was enabled
to make his escape from Rio bay be-
cause a traitor revealed to his agents
the location of torpedoes placed in the
river to prevent his going out. A
treacherous member of the crew of the

sailed from New York, wrought sucl

PRAcT1c... Christian charity is being

serve breakfast to tho hungry in the

He says no has secured the pledges of forty
millers in the state to ship their export
flour by the new gulf steamers to Copen-

port thnt wheat cannot be shipped by the

says he has q letter from a responsible
railroad builder Offering to build load
from the British possessions to the gulf

four per cent on the cost. The proposition
will be considered at the next meeting of

The prospect that congress will &C.
complish anything before the holiday
recess is slim. 1t should have staid in
session continuously and legislated on
the tariff at the extra session. As it is,
it will be early spring, apparently, be-
fore the tariff bill is passed. There is
urgent need of change in the time of
convening the annual sessions. They
should begin in Septemb ber Of each year.

DESPITE vicious legislation aimed
against her chief industry Montana
to-day is suffering less hardship from
the general depression than any Of the
eastern states. The fact that more than
80 per cent. OF the entire taxes OF this
state we're collected is one encouraging
evidence that this statement Ia true.

Poisoned By Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives
made miserable through no fault Of
their own. Scrofula is more espec-
tally than any other a hereditary dis
ease, and for this simple reason:
Arising from impure and insufficient
blood, the disease locates itself in
the lymphatics, which are composed
of white tissues; there is a period of
foetal life when the whole body con.
sists of white tissues, and therefore
the unborn child is especially sus:
ceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t
is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by it's
powerful effect on the blood, expels
all trace of the disease and gives to
the vital fluid the quality and color
of health. If you decide to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept
any substitute. 40.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Mr.. S. J. Derrick, who is now
teaching at Rockey Well, is among
US for few weeks. His school is
enjoying vacation.
The weather for the last couple OF
weeks has been all that could be de-
sired for cotton picking, and conse-
queutly, our people are pretty well
up.

Chills and bilious fever. generally.
Business is looking up little, and
our hopes are for very good busi-
ness season this fall.
AS the winter season draws near,
it makes a man shudder to think of
what an ordeal he must pass through
on account of these "slop troughs,' y
called public highways. 1T would
give me great satisfaction to know
shat every man, let him be private
citizen, or Legislatureman, or what
not, who is opposed to a rigid revis,

PEELED to pass his daily existence
along our public "slop troughs," !"

fully convinced of the error Of his
ways. I earnestly look forward to a
thorough change in the road system,
and if I knew that I could be instru-
mental in helping to pluck out this
crying evil from our midst, I would
hardly rest day nor night until those
ends were accomplished.
Some time ago the Home Comfort
Range Co. sent a man through this
country selling stoves. Parties who
bought gave their notes, payable Oc-

that if they could not pay all, the

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

If the writer knows anything
about the amenities of debate in a
newspaper controversy and the prac-
tices that have prevailed in the col,
umns of the Dispatch, as well as all
other papers that ne is familiar with,
he knows of but one instance where
a third party interfered, and in that
case the said third party was Ignore d
by both the others.
Had it not been that Mr.. John r.

get the better of his otherwise good
judgment and caused him to pen

no notice of it, but if such very un-
pleasant intrusions are continued,
somebody may get their feelings
hurt and get them hurt bad. If
"Gladiator's" ''pieces" nausiate, it
would be well to pass them by; or
any one has the right to chop them
up in such homeopathic doses as the
weak digestive power of their own

The articles in question were writ

the way, is looked upon by "Gladia.

which, he has documentary evidence
on file, and not an adversary as Mr..
Shuler's unkind language would
make him believe. Gladiator" has
no desire to argue the free bridge

as Mr.. John R. Shuler has opened
up, but simple justice demands that
his bitter, cruel feelings be hurled
back at him. GLADIATOR.

Alliance ries;e 3: ccsas Grove,


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The Alliance picnic at Cedar
Grove on Saturday last, the 7th inst,
was a success, although part Of the
speakers who had been invited did
not come
The meeting was called to order
by Mr. Luther Sease, who, after a
few appropriate remarks, introduced
Mr.. Joe Caughmau, of Edgefeld
county. Mr.. Caughman made a
ringing speech of abont an hours
duration. He was frequently ap-
plauded, which showed that the peo-
pie were giving him their attention
and that they were in sympathy with
the cause which he was 80 ably dis
cussing.
The chairman next introduced Mr..
Enoch Hite, of the Cedar Grove Al
lance. Mr.. Hite began by saying
that he was only boy, and that we
need not expect much of a speech
from him, but before he had gone
far, we formed an entirely different
opinion, viz: that he might be a
boy in age, but in Alliance works
and needs he was a man indeed.
His speech was something over an
hour in length.
The chairman next announced the
subject which he said we all would
probably be interested in-dinner OF
course. We repaired to the table
where We partook of one of those ex-
cellent dinners which the kind moth
ers and pretty sisters of this COM
munity know so well how to prepare.
After eating to repletion, getting
some water, and-well, the boys had
to talk some with the girls, We again
assembled around the stand to hear
the crowning speech of the day.
DR.. Shuler was introduced, and in
his own gifted manner, presented
the Alliance demands in such plain
and unmistakable language until
every one, I believe, understood their
import. This closed the speaking
for the day, and probably did much
for the Alliance cause in this part Of
the country.
Thus we spent another pleasant
day that will be long remembered.
