nfain Worker Has More Troubis vita

A prominent New York dentist made
the statement the other day. which he
said was backed BY the highest scien-
tlfc authority. that intellectual pur-
suits play havoc with the teeth ana
that the more a man tolls with his
brain the more likely are his teeth 10
disappear or 10 become diseased before
he reaches middle life. says the New
York Journal.
The reason why people In this coun-
Try have poorer teeth than those Of any
other country In the world "a because
they live at the highest possible pitch
Of nervous pressure. Savage races gen
orally have teeth superior to those Of
civilized races.
There are many manual occupations
too. that have a bad effect on the teeth

Kiss of judas.

Governor Claude Matthews, of In.
diana, has grown caustic. Speaking
of the so-called Gold Democrats, he
says:
Their profession of love for the
Democratic party is bus the kiss of
Judas, and they will deceive no one
but themselves.
There are too many conflicting
motives animating this move. They
are largely personal and selfish, but
there is reason to be amused and
amazed at their effrontery and assur-
ance in assuming the name of Ma,
tlonal Democratic party
The plain fact is that these gen.
tlemen are nothing more than bolters
lending their aid to the enemies of
the party and to secure the election
of Mckinley. They could more prop
erly be termed the Reput can annex /;
for they are but the sideshow for IL e
Republican circus. They professed
to be Democrats at the Chicago con-
vention, but unable to control the
convention or dictate the platform,
forgetting the fundamental rule of
Democracy, majority rule, deter
mined to bolt. 1t matters not what
they may name themselves, the COM
mon sense public will recognize just
what they are-bolters; nothing
more, nothing less.
"The movement sci on foot by the
quartette in this city, Bynum, Will
son, Fensel and Pickens, and pate d
on the back by the Republican party,
will cause no great alarm. They will
play their brief part upon the politi-
cal stage, then-oblivion. They will
not carry with them 1000 votes in

cratic ticket three times that number.

BI-METALISM.

Confidence is fine old Latin woro.
1t means union of faith, but it is Il
word often abused by misuse. In the
coming political campaign this word
will have great deal to do. The
goldbugs will buzz about in glittering
wings singing the song Of confidence
and trying to make the people believe
that the only foundation for conf
dence is in the gold standard, Con-
fence always means faith in some
thing, a p, rson or persons. The gold
men have faith only in gold why?
Is gold greater and stronger than the
United States government? Is a
gold dollar greater than the power
that made the gold dollar? One
might as we'll say that man is greater
than God Almighty, his maker. The
gold dollar is creature of law; the
law is made by the government.
These confidence" men belittle
the government when they are will
ing to have faith in the stamp which
the government plcaes upon silver
that makes it dollars. This is nc
new doctrine; they have been preach,
ing against silver dollars for years
they have been tabooing them; they
have been debaslng them; they have
been throwing them out Of use; they
have been saying to foreign: "Sil
yer dollars bearing the stamp of the
United State mint is not good mon
ey." They have been deceiving the
people; they are trying now to de
ceive people and make them be
