A MAGNIFICENT
DEMONSTRATION

| holy and patriotic thing has been DONE
Idle worknlen gazing silently at the closed
factory noting us snolleless chimneys and
silent spindles; the miner working under
meath the ground; the farmer reaping an
ABUNDANT harvest and receiving nothing
for 1t; the business man who has seen his
substance slip away from his helpless
hands-all these must have been glad. All
the young men of the nation and particu-
larly those young men who, born in pow
eFty, surrounded by shame, have found
their pathway to better things, blocked
by the dead blank wall of caste and pre-
JUDGE, must have been glad. The old man
looking hopeiessly into the future must
ave cried out when the news was brought
to him, 'let my spirit depart in peace,
for mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming Of the Lord But there is no I'M
alleged joy in this world. There were
also those who We're sorrowful. The miser
gloating over the clink of boarded gold
the usurer growing fat on his Ill gotten
gains grinding the faces of the poor: the
gatherers Of pelf, who live upon other
mems labor; all these were sad The
shadow of the coming of Bryan, clothed
in r.ghteusness, fell upon these hosts of
error. The great battle between the army
OF Industry and the hordes of rapacity
was on.

relations between this country and Spain
to the breaking point. Like all that goes
on in Cuba this exact facts of this affair
are somewhat in doubt, but it appears
that the Competitor was captured by the
Spanish navy, and her crew seized,
among whom were several American oiti-
IONS, tried and sentenced to death.
Under our treaty with Spain American
citizens residing in Cuba are to be tried
by the civil courts, unless taken with arms
in their hands when they may be tried
by regularly organized court martials.
1t seems thu Americans captured on the
Competitor were tried before a drumhead
court martial, convicted and sentenced to
death with very little ceremony and
without permitting the accused to make
any defence. This, Secretary Olney, con-
tends is a clear violation of the treaty,
and he asks the Spanish government to
delay the execution until at least our
government can inquire into the proceed
ing. Spain on the other hand is saids to
claim that the treaty does not apply to o
case like this of the Competitor but
was simply meant to cover the cases of
Americans already domiciled in Cuba The
Spaniards were very anxious to- inflict
summary punishment on the Competi-
tors crew. believing that it would put
an end to filibustering expeditions, and
have tcen very reluctant to comply
with Mr.. Olney's request for delay
though it seems now to have been grant
ed. 1t is not too much to say
that if the Competitors crew are exeout-
ed with no more formality than has yet
been observed public opinion in this
| country will be very much outraged and
the desire to help the Cubans very much
| strengthened. Spain could very much
better afford to have Weyler throw up his
| commission than to have this country
incensoa against her by an injustice to
one OF its citizens. Probably the Spanish
government understand that we'll enough
but undoubtedly it is surrounded by a
public opinion which is very bitter
against this country and which hates to
ses any concession made to us. This
opinion too IL densely Ignorant of the
strength and resources Of this country,
and very likely cherishes the idea that
| Spain could easily whip US.

The remark Of Congressman Aitirich
that protection is safe no matter which
one Of the Republican candidates is nomi-
mated, and that thcrel is another Issue,
namely that Of the currency, about which
the country is becoming more anxious
daily, is strictly true. AS far as the nomi-
nation is concerned protection is not really
an issue at all, and it is not going to be
very prominent issue in the campaign
because the Democrats when they passed
the Wilson tariff bill deserted their plat
form and practically admitted that, how
ever they might talk, when they came to
act they were not ID favor of tariff for
revenue only. At most the tariff con-
troversy can be but controversy about
the degree of protection. about how it
shall be applied, and not a radical dispute
concerning the policy itself. But there
bids fair to be direct issue on the
currenoy-an issue between the present
gold standard and its complete abandon
ment or modification. This is the Ques.
ton that is destined to loom up in the
campaign. Trimming politicians would

appetite, could not sleep, could not
walk alone. Puritana made him over
new from head to foot. 1t gave him
sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. J. S.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. 1t gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, more real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " life-is-worth-
living" than a dipperful, a bucketful,
a barrelful of so-called tonics, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources.
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
world.

one drop Of Puritana is real medicine
1t cures. The dipperful is anything,
everything, and nothing, when it
comes right down to a real cure.
Puritana is the prize formula of
Prof. Dixi Crosby, who was for thirty
two years at the head of Dartmouth
Medical College. 1t strikes at the
root of 90 per cent. of human suffer
ing, and brings new strength, new
health, new life through the power
producer of the system. Puritana
makes the heart right, lungs right,
liver right blood right, kidneys right,
nerves right, and health right, because
it makes the stomach right. To any
man, woman, or child who will take
it as directed, Puritana will praeti-
cally give new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands of
people have proved that it cures from
head to foot.

writing was not invented in the time
of David and Solomon: that it had
been in use thousands of years before
Joshua inscribed the commandments
in clay upon the altar at Shechem !;
that Moses was reared in literary
court, surrouSled by an educated
priesthood who wore in possession of
remarkable literary products of an
Older time; that, in the fifteenth and
sixtoeuth centuries Il. c., Asia and
Africa carried ON extensive literary
correspondence by means of tho cunei-
form writing of Babylonia. We know
also that Egypt has left US writings
from the fourth dynasty-a date more
than 1000 Il, q Tho iliterate argu-
mont has gone TO pieces in tine face of
such acts Literature has iiourished in
the earth for more than G,000 years.
Writing was not unknown among civil
lized people after 5000 Is. c., Israel not
ablo to produce such literature as the
Old Testament contains until very late
in history David wrote no psalms,
berauso that age could not have pro-
duced such masterpieces AS are
attributed TO him (Cheynel. Only a
blindfoldcd critic could make such an
assertion. The indications
are that We must very soon reverse the
scale and see how far back we can
locate tho composition of the Old

Have the Rescue Ladies' heard the tale
OF the lnjun chief in the Western vale.
Who thought he'd stop the rushing train
In way that seemed both smooth and
plain?
He rode adown the lonely track
With his lasso carried coiled and slack,
And watched the engine come in view
Watched till the warning whistle blew,
Ana then, as the monster thundered by,
He let his trusty lasso fly
1t slipped right over the great smokestack--
But the train adhered to the lonely track,
And all they found of the mighty chief
Was dangling cord and little jerked
beef
There's a moral fine in this ancient tale,
That shows how easy It's to fail.
When you try to stop with ravcllins
strand
A force that thunders through the land;
And think the danes in their new cru.

Will find themselves on fatal grade,
