BRYAN's VOTE.

David McGregor, III the De
cember Forum, says: ave exult
in the great maiorities against
Bryan which were recorded in
Chicago and New York and
Brooklyn, But when we look Ut
the enormous number Of voters
that deliberately cast their votes
for hin, when we reflect that
without money, without flags or
professions, deserted by the lead
ers, deprived of effective orators,
despised by the intelligence of the
community, the humble followers
Of Bryan mustered 1900 strong
in such a city as Brooklyn, 5000
more than supported the last
democratic candidate for mayor,
we cannot look forward to the fu.
ture with serene confidence"
Well may the gold side tremble.
With all the trusts and money
against him; with all the large
newspapers OH the side of Nc
Kinley; with the cry of "anar-
chists," TRAITORS" "repudiators''
ringing in his ears, Bryan polled
over 100000 votes. He is the
strongest man in America today,
and without the aid Of money on
either side can command two
votes tc<McKinley's one.

CoNTENTED AND HAPPY,

The easy contentment Of the
old time country press is thus
happily described by the editor Of
the Lawrenceyille, Pa, Herald,
who says:
"This paper will soon be six

of living without either food or

so sure of his future that he
doesn't care whether he lives at
all.
"We've come out on our old
hand press week after week with
cut money and without price.
We print a good newspaper, hold
our old subscribers and get a new
one occasionally. We are happ,
and cohtented. We may not
have much TO live for, but, owing
to the uncertainty of the frture,
VIC have nothing whatever to die
for. We believe that our cheer

Of our paper. If you want to

TRUSTWORTHY FRIENDS.

The Richmond Times pays a
deserved tribute to the fidelity

porter went toljail rather than

commenting on the above the

says:
That while II is the business

he is the last man in the world

liz does rot seem to understand

SPAIN REsENTs RECOGNITION

A cablegram from Madrid,
Spain says: madrid newspa,

proaches. The strongest feeling
prevails against any intervention

Of course Spain fears that this

The shepberd and His Sheep.

A gentleman and his wife
travelling in the Holy Land,
while resting by the roadside be-
came interested in a shepherd as
he sought to lead his flock over a
stream. In vain he called to bis
sheep to follow him through the
shallow waters, and again. and
again he coaxed them on. They
would come so far and no farther.
At last,as a final resort he caught
little lamb and bore it TO the
other side. Immediately the dam
followed, and then the entire flock
crossed safely to better pastures
nd cooler shade. There was a
lesson in that little incident fol
the two. travellers. 1t had been
necessary in their case, too, thai
the Good Shepherd should beai
their only child across the streau

TOO MEAN no BE CALLED MAN.

TOO MEAN TO BE CALLED MAN.
A hypocrit is the most despi,
cable of all men. TIE very
name itself carries with it all
that is Objectionable to God or
man. An insignificant human
being, who thinks he is smart
Ell, ugh to fool man and deceive
the Great Ruler of this universe,
is too small, too low and con
temptable to bear the name Of
man-who, we are told in the
Great Book, was made in the
image OF God Himself, Yet we
meet them almost daily in the
walks of life.
There are men who draw ths
cloak of self righteousness
around them and from behind
its folds try to strike blows that
will completely annihilate and
wreck the lives of those who are
not so fortunately situated in
this world. Such men are more
poisonous than the rattle snake.
They are meaner than the man
who buries the dagger to its
hilt in the bosom of a friend
while he is off his guard.
1t is the motto of these men
to rule or ruin, and, while their
own heart is a sepulcher filled
with dead mems bones, they are
ever paradlng the faults and
mistakes of others before the
world and stand ready at any
time tc crush those whom they
cannot rule. Such a spirit is

they will be given plenty OF
time to brood over the fact that
they were not the only men that

"man's inhumanity to man
causes countless thousands to

HIGHER EDUCATION AGAIN.

efforts 10 get the state to reduce
its appropriation to higher edu-

the Recorder has the following:

Why is the principle Of state

has done much to christianize
the world? OF course it does,
and that being the case why is
the "principle" wrong" when
the state wishes TO give a few
thousand dollars to be spent in
raising humanity TO a more
lofty planet How can the Re-
corder dare say that the "prin~
