elections. kThere has been no clear evi
dence that any general change of opinion
| has resulted, although it is the common
belief that there has been distinct ten
| dency toward weakening of the freesil
yer sentiment. Whether there has or has
not been somei change in that direction,
or even if the demand for free coinage had
grown stronger, contrary to the common
| impression, the conventions might be held
| just the same, and attended by just the
same speakers and by quite as many and
perhaps as influential delegates from the
different counties in each State. What
| the convention sees fit TO assert about the
| growth of free-coinage opinion has prop
erly no weight with anybody, because just
the same assertions would be made by the
saue men whether the facts were so or
| not.
1t is therefore evident that the free
coinage people made a serious mistake In
calling such conventions at this time, be
cause they can do no good, but in the or
binary course of evGnts will do some
harm. They cannot help the cause they
are designed to help, because they follow
declarations of opinion on behalf of the
Democratic party as a whole. which have
been quite as emphatic and explicit in
favor of free coinage as 1t was possible to
make them. The whole party having been
committed to that idea In these western
states, it was not possible to elicit any
stronger or more impressive expression of
its opinion by assembling a convention of
those who adhered to the old belief On
the other hand, the very call for such o
convention necessarily brings out some
expressions of opposition among Demo
Gratis, and each of these is readily seized
upon and widely horaldcd, because it i'm
plies change of opinion on the part of
some Democrats who assontcd to the &C
ton of the party as a whole in years past.
The silver men have merely devised a way
to show that even in the western states
they are actually weaker today than they
supposed themselves some years ago. And
although the conventions really disclose
nothing of the actual change within tn e
last few months or within the last year In
public opinion, it is probable that the sup
posed necessity for holding them and the
absence of some who were expected to at
tend them will, on the whole, have an I'm.
favorable influence on the interests they
are meant to support

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAR-
Frs OF MOUNT LEBANON.

We NAV not accept their peculiar relglous
views. We cannot enter into the spirit OF
their sacrifices, and therefore we do not study
their habits Of life
Ills not necessary to believe as they do, but
We can and do respect their sincerity of pur-
nose and the honor and uprightness wnlch
mark all their business dealings.
In one particular the Shakers excel all
other men or classes OF men. This is in the
cultivation of medicinal herbs and plants.
They ave made it study for more than one
hundred wears. They are also expert in ex
tracing from them their characteristic
essences and medicinal virtues. This is their
peculiar industry. Their lives have been de-
voted to it. By it they are supported. They
excel in This branch as do the monks of the
order of ST. Benedict with their famous
lfoueur called "Benedictine."
Now, this life long study on the part Of the
Shakers has not been in vain. They have
accomplished much good. Their medicinal
extracts and cordials are known throughout
the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is probably
the most useful medicine ever given to the
public. It is not cure for all diseases; it
doesn't pretend to be; but one disease it will
cure, and that is indigestion. 1t is not pre-
tended thai it will cure anything else, and a
sufferer has not long to wait to see the result.
| The effect is immediate. Almost the first dose
will give relief and, if continued, a permanent
| cure will follow.
| Every druggist has been sent supply of
| our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and q
copy may be had for the asking. 1t tells all
about the Cordial as well as Laxol, the new
castor oil.

Cordial and see what it will do for you.

REFORM IN BLOODY GuLCH.
How u Eand of Earnest Men Caused Some
Would Isc Lynchcrs to Desist.

He wore q buckskin suit and wide
brimmcd hat. Tho revolvers Mt his belt
locked as il they had seen considerable
use but he was quiet when tho stranger
in tho smoking car drew him into CONVEX
Sation.
Yes, I've been pretty tough he said.
II guess wo all have out at Bloody Gulch,
but we have got over it. Got religion, you
know. a Teller camo through there last
week with gospel cart, and he got all the
boys out and talked to 'em good and hard.
He said lot about how Teller should be
known by his deeds and not by tho bluff
nc puts up. He said his work was what
counted and not the CUFF. So we all got
thinking about what tough critters we
We're, and we made up our minds to try a
now way"
"To be good?" asked the stranger.
"That's it; that's the stuff exactly"
said the man with the big rovolvers. 1--WE
were going to be good and start a regular
old reform wave shooting around the
grlch. There's been lot of lynching out
there, you know, and so we took that In
hand first; made up orr minds that 1t had
got to stop, and stop quick. The boys
don't stand 40 foolin when they get ready
to move; something's got to happen. So
when we heard about tho eastern cities and
their reform committees and their civic
fedcrations, and all that sort of stuff, we
got together and organized little COM
mittee of our own. 1t was a hot one, too,
tell ye. All the boys belong to it that
are any good, and they swore they'd stop
lynching inside of "a hours, and they done
it"
"Organizcd an antilynching league, !
take it, said the stranger
THAT S what 1t was and it was q hum
NOR. We Just waited our chance to ketch
some of tho tough fellers that was taking
tho law into their own hands, and we got
it, We heerd of q lynching that was coming
off that very night. We organized our re-
form committee. Some of the fellers from
the other end of tho gulch had located a
boss thief, and they were going out to
string him up. Well, stranger, "a boss thiel
is u pretty burned mean sort of a critter,
and amt got much uso for 'cm myself,
but religion is religion, and If feller's
got it | reckon he's got to stick to it, So
We went out after tho lads that was going
to lynch tho boss thief, and We caught 'cm
about a mile up the gulch We saved the
''''' gu an" No i'pofcu WIFI
the lynchcrs good and hard-just like tho
gospel fcller said we should"
Were You successful"
You bet we was. They amt been a
lynching in the gulch since that night.
When we want reform, you bet wo get it,
and get it quick and everybody knows
that we mean business. There can't be no
mistake about that
What did you do with the lynchersp''

The Columbia.

The Columbia and the Minneapolis,
her sister ship, which is thought to be
even speedier, are products of the last Re-
publican administration Secretary Ira
cy, In his last annual report said that the
administration was willing to risk its
reputation in naval achievements upon
the Columbia and the Minneapolis and
the battleship Indiana The perfection Of
the Columbia is due largely to Gen. Ira
cy's enthusiasm, but her speed is result
of the work of Congressman Boutellc
who was chairman of the House committee
on naval affairs which authorized the
construction of the crniser and upon his
suggestion insisted upon certain rcgula-
lions requiring a special rate of speed be-
fore acceptance.
