Bryan makes show of answering
the charges against his being in the
pay of the silver syndicates by repel-
ling the accusation as ungenerous and
and offering to show his memoranda
of all monies received for lecturing
since he left his place in congress be-
cause his constituents turned him
down. This is like a man charged
with stealing apples, producing his
butchers bill to prove that he paid
for his provisions, hence could not
have stolen apples. Great defence.

Some years ago wnen suffering
with an uncommonly severe attack Of
diarrhoea, Mr.. w. B. Guinnip, of At
co, Pa, received through the mail a
sample bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
says: 81 found it to be one of the
most effective remedies / ever used.
1t gave me almost immediate relief.
1t has no superior and I think no
equal. No bad effects follow the use
Of this remedy. 1t is pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweet
ened. Children like it. 1t never fails.
1t is the most perfect remedy ever
produced for bowel complaints" For
sale at 25 and so cents per bottle by
all druggists.

The United States has always paid
its bonds in gold coin or it's equiva-
lent. All of the war debt has been
paid in this way. A portion of it
was paid by the sale of bonds bear
ing lower rate of interest, but we
eXacted from the purchasers of, these
bonds gold coin or it's equivalent, even
while our notes were below par in
coin.-Senator Sherman's Speech.
About $S47, 100000 of these securi-
tise are now outstanding, of which
$262, 100000 was sold by, this admin
istration, and paid for in gold coin.
1t is one of the objects of those who
advocate the free coinage of silver to
force the government to pay these
bonds in silver coin reduced in value.
1t is harsh to express this opinion of
a measure favored by many good peo-
pie, but 1 cannot regard it in any
other light but as both a fraud and a
robbery.-Senator Sherman's Speech.
We cannot by law fix the value of
either metal or coin or of any of the
articles that enter into the wants of
life. The great law of demand and
supply affects the value as it does
iron, copper or zinc. All have fallen
in market value by means of new dis
coveries and improved methods of
production.-Sen. Sherman's Speech.
There have been a great many bat
ties fought against gold, but gold has
won every time. Gold never has COM
promised. Gold has made the world
respect it all the time. The English
people once thought they could get
along without gold for awhile, but
they had to come back to Ex-senator
Sherman's Speech.

SINS OF OMISSION.

olANo vi OMloS)lO&N.
1t seems to be generally agreed that
the sins of commission on the part Of
Hon. William J. Bryan on Wednesday
evening of last week were sufficiently
fragrant to claim the undivided atten-
ton Of the people for a considerable
part of the campaign. Nevertheless,
his sins of omission warrant passing
notice. 1t is true that in opening his
ten thousand-word essay he said: 81
shall at future day and in formal
letter touch upon the issues presented
by the platform" But by what right
did he evade every issue savetwo, and
practically every issue save one?
The candidate announced theatre
cally when he set out for New York
that he was about to open the fight
in the enemy's country. To do this it
naturally was essential that he meet
the enemy on his own ground. That
ground is the National Republican
platform. New York looked to him
for a dissection of the document
adopted at st. Louis. What was the
result? Unfortunately for Mr.. Bryan,
we learned in detail his views on the
free silver question, and we were
made familiar with his reasons for
advocating an income tax. But what
does he think of the tariff and recip-
rocity, of the upbuilding of our for
eign policy, of the Armenian massa-
ores, of the Monroe doctrine, of Gu
ba's fight for independence, Of the in
crease in the navy, Of restriction in
immigration, of civil service and bal
lot reform, of lynching in the south,
of national arbitration, of the Free
Homestead law, Of congressional rep
resentation for Alaska, of legislation
for the control of intemperance, and
of the increased recognition of woman
as an industrial and political factor.
Here are seventeen planks out of
nineteen which the popocratic candi-
date wholly ignored in the enemy's
country. If he was under no obliga-
ton at that time to review the entire
Republican platform, he was at least
under moral obligation to defend in
its entirety the platform on which he
was then infirmally accepting the
nomination for president. That instru-
ment not only makes declaration as to
a majority of the subjects quoted, but
in addition takes radical ground upon
sundry other matters.
Considering the outcome of the
Madison Square garden effort, there
fore, it may be said that Mr.. Bryan
occupies the unique position of having
read himself out of the white house
before the country is made familiar
with his views upon more than one
tenth his party's platform or that Of
the enemy. This is a masterpiece of
political agility, and renders wholly
superfiuous his promised letter 70 ac-
ceptance.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

1t is not every Democrat who can
afford like Perry Belmont and Bourke
Cochran to speak his honest mind up
on the present departure on the part
of the national Democracy. Party
lines do not hold with wonderful ten
acity, and the Republicans must
possess the grace of patience. There
is no doubt that the free silver pen
dulum is swinging every day a little
nearer the extreme of it's arc, and
then the reaction comes.

The Republicans Of st. Louis seem
to be certain that the state will fall
into their hands in November, but
they are a little shaky as to their
electoral ticket. 1t is hardly to be
expected that that great Democratic
state would change all at once, 1t
would make it sick. A little at a
time until the old Bourbons get ac-
elimated to the new order and then
more of it.

The general opinion as to Nansen's
return from his great arctic explora-
ton, is that he got out of a tight place
by sheer good luck. His situation
was perilous in the extreme, and but
for the dogs of Jackson's expedition
he would not have met Jackson, and
had he not meta rescuing party he
would never have returned alive. His
return will encourage more fellows to
try and hunt for that fatal pole. 1t
is more murderous than a Polish pike
on a stick.

Strikes, cutting down of wages,
closing of large plants employing
thousands of laborers, all these are to
be expected within the next few
weeks. The entire industrial and
commercialworldi is upset, and there
will be no settlement of it, until this
election is settled for good. A victory
for sound currency and all else that
is represented on the Republican plat
form will be followed by a resump-
ton of all industrial movements, be-
cause it will create confidence.

Kentucky is in the thick of the fight

and unlimited coinage. Breckenridge
is denouncing the policy advocated by
Bryan and put forth at Chicago as
not only undemocratic, but opposed
to every interest of the people. He
regards the possible election of Bryan
as the greatest calamity that threat
ems the nation. There is unfortu-
nately no danger Of the threat being
carried out

Northern Louisiana is a drouth
stricken region. For four months,
until just now, there has been no rain
and corn and cotton are practically a
failure. This state is bad enough,
but it will harvest on an average more
than half a crop of corn and cotton
will be fairly good. 1t is hard for the
man who kicks not to find some place
worse than that he kicks about, at
least this is true of the Texas kicker
who is seldom justified in his trilby
antics.

BICYCLE BOATS.
Michigan Man Turns Out q Novel Craft |
for Pleasure.


Something new in river craft will
soon make its appearance on the Poto-
mac. 1t is called the hydrocycle by the
scientific, and river bicycle by ordinary
mortals. 1t consists of two cigar
shaped galvanized steel cylinders, each
containing eight alright compart-.
ments, and built on the plan of cata-
maran. These cylinders are is feet
long and 12 inches in diameter, and at
the stern of each Is fsh-tail rudder,
easily operated by the person propelling
the boat. The floats are securely fast
ened together by steel bars, on which
rests the framework of the craft. This
consists of wheelhouse, a bicycle seat
and handle bars, and an easy chair in
front. The boat is propelled by a
double wheel, each containing eight
paddles, which alternately strike the
water. They are made of galvanized
steel and are counterparts of the old
time paddle-wheel.
1t is operated in the same manner that
bicycle is propelled. The operator
mounts his seat, places his feet on the
pedals, and when they revolve they
move an endless chain around a
sprocket, which in turn drives the pad
die.
The speed of the boat is ten miles an
hour.
The inventor Of the hydrocycle Is L.
v. Moulton, Of Grand Rapids, Mich, and
ten boats are now being constructed for
the Columbia Athletic club. The boats
cost 500 each.

= The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as rule, they are not. What is want
ed is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number Of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine Mr.. b. B.
Buffum, of Friendsville, Suspuehan-
