THE PRESS AN EDUCATOR.

Some years ago, T. v. Pow DERBY,
general master workman Of the Knights
Of Labor, said:
s'If every laborer and every manufac-
turer would read daily a good paper and
keep posted on the topics OF the time, l
feel certain there would be less trouble"
Indeed, there would, and the COM
pliment to the press may be accepted
without the smallest blushing. The
first business Of the newspaper press 10
to give the news, and that every man
ought to have. The next Is to make
such comment on the news as seems to
be just, and we venture 10 say that In
nine opt of ten cases this comment IL
usually formed by men who have no
personal interest in the matters at Issue.
1t is the busin ess Of these men to Judge
and to be fair In their Judgment
While they have not the Official author
ity of the bench, they at least have
its impartiality, and 10 many cases its
ability as we'll. The daily press gathers
to itself experts in law, in philosophy, in
science. in theology, in art,in the drama,
and in all the lighter pursuits Of life.
The time will come when it will devel-
op these specialties to a far greater
degree than it does now; and the time
will likewise come when the mar who
does not read the daily paper will be
looked upon with the contempt or pity
that now belongs to the individual who
cannot read at all. 40 employer with

The great trouble W it'll the daily news

cigar or a glass of beer. 1t is flung
in the face Of ignorance and intelli-
gence alike, aud neither gives it half

1S96.-Snow, rain, sleet, all kinds O

his company-Burllngton railroad Tof-

blacksmith shop and out-houses are

A RECORD.

Though defeated for the presidency
yet the fame Of VIM. J. Bryan will b.
secure. When all the passions of thi.
campaign shall have passed, men will
pick up the story Of it with wonder and
admiration for the man who, as the
evangel of the workers and of the pro.
ducers of this country, started out, al
most single-handed, to fight the COM
bined wealth and influence of the
country, and made such a fight as never
was dreamed Of before in the history of
campaigns. Scoffed at, sneered at,
Jeered at, he went everywhere, and in
every place, with a splendid confidence
waged the fight; talking to the people,
shaking hands with the people; max
ing ten to a dozen or twenty speeches
a day, and retaining all his confidence,
all his radiant hope to the last. He
has gone down to defeat In the cam.
paign, but his will be the triumph,
after all.
In the current Century is an article
from the pen of a brother general of
Grants, which tells the story of
Grants rise. And in war the record
was a little such as Bryan has made in
peace. He fought battle after battle,
and every fight was a victory, but he
was pursued with the doubts, with the
trickery, with the anathemas, Of men
who ought to have beer his friends
from the first. Indeed, that opposi-
ton to him never ceased for one
minute until the terms which he die
tated at Appomattox showed that he
was not only a general, but a states
man born a mar who knew first how
to conquer a great war, and theE how
TO dictate terms of peace which should
be effective in winning the love Of his
former enemies and which at the same
time should be a protection for those
enemies against the Vaccinations of all

further punish them after they had
laid down their arms. Bryan's meet

None But Ayers at the Worlds Pair

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the Ok
traordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hiblt at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers of other Sarsaparillas
sought by every means to OBTAIN a
