Treating All Alike.

Chairman Clay has put himself on record
as being in favor of giving the republicans
and populists an equal chance with the
democrats in looking after their interests
at the ballot box. He has no power to say
who shall be managers and clerks of cleo
tion in the different counties. That is a
matter which the county authorities con-
troll. but, as the head OF the democra tic
party. he will recommend that there be a
fair division of election managers and
clerks. We called attention yesterday to
the action he has already taken in refer
ence to the application of the populists
for representatives at the ballot box in the
state election-action which ought to salts.

Mr.. Buck, the chairman OF the republi-

and upright men. Il will. during

Your eyes seem all right" the colonel
said. Now, what it is-down on your

story.
Colonel, I met a man up here this

he gave me one for countin' the fish.
There was seventeen, barrin' three which

The Chemistry of Character.

From Lizzie Doten's Poems of Progress"
John and Peter and Robert and Paul;
God in his wisdom created them ALL
John was a statesman and Peter a slave,
Robert a preacher, and Paul a knave.
Evil or good, as the case might be,
White or colored, or bond or free;
John and Peter and Robert and Paul;
God in his wisdom created them ALL
Out of earth's elements mingled with
fame,
Out of life's compounds of glory and
shame.
Fashioned and shaped by no will of their
own,
And helplessly into life's history thrown;
Born by the law that compels men to be,
Born to conditions they could not foresee,
John and Peter and Robert and Paul;
God in his wisdom created them all.
John was the head and the heart of his
state,
Was trusted, and honored, was noble and
great;
Peter was made meath life's burdens to
groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was
own;
Robert great glory and honor received
For zealously preaching what no one be-
lieved;
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took
his fill,
And gave up his life to the service of i'll.
1t CHANGED that these men in their pass
ing away
From earth and its conflicts all died the
same day,
John was mourned through the length and
the breadth of the land;
Peter fell meath the lash in a merciless
hand;
Robert died with the praise of the Lord
on his tongue,
While Paul was convicted Of murder and
hung.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul:
The purpose of life was fulfilled in them
al.
Men said of the statesman, How noble
and braver'
But of Peter, alas. "He was only slave:''
OF Robert, otis well with his soul, 1t is
well;'
While Paul they consigned to the tor
ments of hell.
Born by one law through all Nature the
same,
What made them differ and who was to
blame?
John and Peter and Robert and Paul;
God in his wisdom created them all
Out in that region of infinite light.
Where the soul of the black man is pure
as the white;
out where the spirit. through sorrow
made wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies:
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith OF the God-given
soul;
Who shall determine what change may
befall
John and Peter and Robert and Paul?
John may in wisdom and goodness in
crease;
Peter rejoice In an infinite peace:
Robert may learn that the truths of the
Lord
Are more in the spirit and less in the
word,
And Paul may be blessed with a holier
birth
Than the passions of men had allowed
him on earth.
John and Peter and Robert and Paul;
God in his wisdom will care for them all.

Brooklyn Citizen. He had just told a story
which he considered good, and had laugh

deep, gruff voice:

thing as carrying joke too far
Il don't see that the aphorism applies
here" answered the reconteur.
1T does apply just the same,", was the
stolid rejoinder. 1T was told by Adam
when he was trying to amuse Eve"
But Adam didn't have any mother-in-

Great Britain they discovered that it had

a rock-ribbed mountain of truth alongside

senator Tifi1iaS's manifesto.
From the columbia Is. O. State DEM

Senator Tillman seems to have become
quite reckless. He seems to think that
his preference is one to be acquiesced in
without question. He seems willing to
coerce those who do not agree with him
that John Gary Evans should go to the
Senate 1t is dangerous experiment that
he has made. We think he presumes too
far on the devotion Of the reform" party
II the reform" papers which we quote
to-day express anything of the feeling Of
"reformers" 1t will not be easy for him to
command on this occasion a blind sub
servience. The worst part of the business
is that when peace seemed TO have come
to the state, the influence of Senator Till
man should be cast in favor of renewal
OF prejudice. factlohalism and political
ostracism.

The people generally will regret to hear
that Congressman Crisp's health is too
poor to permit of his taking an active part
in the campaign; not that his services
are urgently needed to insure the success
of the democratic party in the state, but
because they like to hear him speak, and
are sincerely sorry that he is not in rug

NEW YORK, Oct S.-The news of
Du Maurier's death in London this
morning, was received with profound
expressions of regret in literary circles
of this city.
1t had been known for a year past
that the noted artist-novelist was not
enjoying the best of health, and those
who knew him intimately and had seen
him abroad, had expressed the fear
that his utter collapse might come at
any moment. He was Q. most devoted
student-in fact slave to his art.
Although he never visited the United
States many American literateurs knew
him personally, and those in the city
today were greatly shocked when they
heard of mis- death. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that he had overworked
the lamentable fact that it was in the
heyday of his career that the versatile
genius had passed away.

Were Held There.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, Oct s.
Two meetings We're addressed here by
Mr.. Bryan tonight, the first in a big
tent erected in front of the court house
and the second in the opera house.
Both places were crowded.
After the meetings, Mr.. Bryan re-
tired on his special car, which was at
tached to the regular train on the
Northwestern, leaving for Sioux City
at LAS a. m.
There was nothing new in the first
speech.
In the course of his remarks at the
opera house he said:
we have to depend largely upon
clubs to carry this election. 1 think
that the club is of more Importance
in this campaign than it has been in
recent years. The silver clubs must
do much upon our side to offset the
club that employers hold over their
employees. (CheerS.l If some foreign
enemy We're to approach our shores ]
could go among these people and could
enlist men who would be willing to de-
vote not only q day, but months, and
even years, to repel the invaders. To-
day we are in the presence of the in
u
a foreign financial policy. It is invad-
ing our shores, and 1 appeal to you to
enlist for one day-election day. This
gold standard that is worshipped by
those who dare not proclaim the god
which they worship; this gold standard
which is secretly advanced at every
possible moment, and yet with all its
advances under cover and behind a
mask. this gold standard is today
threatening the American people. /
want to ask the silver clubs of Iowa,
as have already asked the silver clubs
throughout the United States, to dc
one thing that viii prove their loyalty
and aid our cause. We are making a
poor mans fight. We have not money
even for legitimate campaign expenses;
but. my friends, we have zeal on ou1
side, and zeal is worth more than dol
lars in such a fight. l want to ask the
free silver clubs in Iowa and every sill
yer club in the United States to meet
at the polling place on election morn
Ing and give the whole day to work
for free silver. (Applause.) Mr. friends
this is but a little request, and yet il
the members of the clubs will comply
with it, it means much for the cause
of bimetallism.'

M. Nichols of Sundance, until recently
one of the Republican leaders Of the
state, spoke for silver. He created a.
sensation by sending an affidavit made
nv Daniel L. Van Meter, candidate Tor
elector on the Bryan fusion ticket. Van
Meter charges William o. Owen, audi

bribe him to decline the nomination on

nation to be sent to the secretary Of
states office one minute before midnight
on the night of october s, when it would
he TOO late for the Democrats to fill
the vacancy, thus knocking out the

affidavit, says Owen, who is surveyor,
stated that in the event Mckinley
should be elected, he was assured OF a
big surveying contract and offered him
a half interest in it and transportation
over the railroads of the state II ne
would comply with the request.
