A few days ago Joseph b. CheadIe saw
fit to assail DR.. a. II. Lands, of Logans-
port. in a speech at Ladoga, by saying that
he was never at any time in the United
States service. Dr. Lands is not a candi-
date. but his son is Cheadle's opponent. He
made the assertion in order to brand the
editor of the Charlottesville Journal as a
liar because he said that Charles B. Lands
was the son of a soldier. Now, as a mat
ter of fact, DIR. Lands was assistant
surgeon in the Thirty-fifth Ohio-one of
the most gallant of soldiers. He was TAX
en- prisoner at Chickamauga while in
charge of a hospital and taken to Libby
prison. At the battle of Kenesaw mountain
had his leg broken and crushed by "a can
non ball. He came out of the service a
broken man. For years he has been an in
valid and now he is confined to his room
and helpless because of injuries received
in the service. And this faithful soldier
Cheade goes out of his way TO assail Gen.
Fl. V. Boynton. who was colonel of DR..
Landiss regiment, writes a scathing letter
about this matter, which must make
Cheade very uncomfortable if he has not
lost all sense of shame. Several years ago
a Democratic candidate sneered at the rec
ord of his opponent as soldier. The late
General Manson heard of it and was so in
dignant that ne notified the candidate of
his own party that If he repeated the at
tack he would feel il to be his duty to a
comrade to denounce his candidacy. Every
veteran should turn his back upon Joseph

1t seems impossible that Mr.. Shively, the
Democratic candidate for Governor should
so far forget himself as to assail a class
of American citizens for their religion
There is, however, no doubt that he re-
ferred to the men of the Hebrew faith in
this country as hook-nosed Shylocks. This
is an insult to a large number of citizens,
many of whom are public spirited and
as patriotic men as can be found in the
country. To their great credit it can be
said that they take care of those who
might be paupers, and that as a rule they
are peaceful and laws hiding citizens.

Now is Bryan moving eastward
On a hurricane of language.
Sweeping all the earth with speeches,
Driving dry the Mississippi
With his whiZzing talk tornado:
Filling all the air with mouthness,
Filling al the earth with chinness,
Filling all the sea with jawness.
Filling all the sky with wordness,
Loading every vale with language.
Piling high the hills with utterance,
Giving off his oratory
As onion drops its peeling.
Caulking all the cracks of silence
With his eloquential stuffing.
Hurting great spellbinding carloads
OF his many-worded thinklets
At an unoffending people;
Scraping down the stars of heaven
To be used as punctuation
Marks i'll his magniloquences:
Never stopping for A moment.
Comes he eastward in September,
On a hurricane of language.
On roaring tide of language.
On tidal wave of language.
On an autumn flood of language,
In wild stampede of language,
In reckless mob of language.
Down cataract of language;
Rushing. roaring, pounding. crashing,
Slashing, smashing, smoothing, sounding
Shaping. slamming stopping. swiping
Whoopmg. whopping, whanging. whizzing
Language, language, language. language

The project which has been announced
of new alliance, composed of Great
Britain, the United States and Italy to
discipline Turkey will not do. Such a
scheme is contrary to the traditions of this
country. We want no entangling alliances
with European governments to carry out
any line of policy in respect to any part of
Europe. 1t belongs to Great Britain, Rus
STA and Germany to discipline Turkey or
wipe it off the map of Europe. Such an
alliance as is proposed would involve us in
difficulties. The Monroe doctrine is the true
one, and it should be lived up to. To join
European nations in suppressing Turkey
would be virtual abandonment of the
Monroe doctrine, the observance of which
has kept US out of foreign complications.

The New York Financier has among other
bond department. showing the proposed
and actual issues and sales of State, county
and city bonds in all parts of the country.
Statistics complied from this statement
show that since the date of the Chicago
convention not less than 81, 100000 of town,
county and various other forms of indebt-
edness have failed of sale because of the
stringency caused by the silver agitation
and fear that the bonds might be paid in
a deprecated currency. The Financier,
commenting on these facts, says:
The average monthly sales of bonds
previous to the Chicago convention was IN
the neighborhood of 5000, 900. The proceeds
of these bonds was spent. of course, in I'M
provements of various kinds, furnishing Ia
Dor with constant employment. But since
the blight of free silver has spread over the
all its branches. Sewer pipe manufacture
ers for example, finding it impossible to
sell their product have laid off hands, and
so with the dozens of industries which find
their greatest profit in municipal work
Thus the whole country has been unfavOr-
ably affected and the circulation of millions
of dollars in trade channels has been cur
tailed. There is no reason to look for a
change until after November. In case of
a sound-money victory there will be some

Bryan Need Not Worry.

New York Sun Dem.)
Mr.. Bryan will find that folks who work
for wages or salary are not tender wards
who require the assistance of q venerab BILE
sage like himself to protect them. They
can take care of themselves. and they are
not especially fond of being patronized,
even by Populist candidate for President.
Mr.. Bryan is always on the watch for OPP
pressors of labor. This is only natural in
young man who is striving to elevate the
condition of labor by shipping some IL per

A WORD OF WARNING.

The Republican danger in this and other
states is overconfidence. The Journal said
so after the Vermont election. and now.
after the astounding result in Maine. it
emphasizes the warning against overconfi-
dence. This warning is not made to MEM
beers of committees, but to every man who
believes that it is of the utmost Importance
to the country and to the welfare of the
people to bury Organism in a very deep
grave There is a temptation to cease the
close canvassing and to devote the time to
congratulation and expressions of conf
dence. and generally in ''whooping it up. =
as if the victory were won. Close individ-
ual work is not nearly so eXhilarating as
cheering in big meetings and talking about
victory as if it We're already won.
Every man who believes in the impor-
lance of Republican success is here APP
pealed to, no matter what his vocation, to
do all in his power to secure the individual
voter to pledge himself to vote the Repub-
Hcan ticket. Let him run over the names
OF his neighbors and associates and see if
he cannot recall one who has not expressed
himself as to a choice for President. Make
lists of voters whom in your opinion. it
will be we'll for some one to see. and give
their names to those who can reach them.
Do not waste time with those persons
who think they have been specially or
dained to champion the scheme of the sill
ver-ninc owners. They cannot be changed.
They are beyond the reach of facts. Con-
fine all efforts to the silent voters who may
yet be in doubt. If possible, speak to one
of these silent ones every day. Ten thou
sand men who quietly but perSistently
work upon those with whom they come in
contact will accomplish more than commit
