Some time ago the Southern railway,
which works in harmony with the Balti-
more, chesapeake and Richmond Steamboa t
Company, announced that 1t proposed to
Baltimore and Norfolk and Portsmouth.
Va. This line would cover exactly the same
route as Is now served by the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company.
The Bay Line people, working in coni,,nc-
ton with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
Company. soon found way Of retalia ting
for what they considered an invasion Of
their territory. and. it IS stated have com
from Baltimore to West Point and Rich
mond, thus going into the territory now
covered exclusively by the York River
Steamboat Line and Southern railway. The
steamers which will be ready for the sum
mer traffic.
AS a matter of fact. one of them. the
Atlanta, has already been completed by
the Cramps Of Philadelphia, and win be
put on the Norfolk route, together with tho
Charlotte From Norfolk passengers and
freight will be carried, by ferry. across
the Elizabeth river, a distance of three
quarters OF a mile. to Portsmouth, which
is now the terminus of the DanyilIe and
Atlantic branch of the Southern railway.
By this route Richmond will be reached
from northern points. and connection can
be made with points further south by Wav
of Selma and Raleigh.
BY the change of route the Southern
railway will have more direct connection
than now, even from Washington to points
south Of Richmond. 1t is intended that
the change will go into effect as soon as
the new steamer. the Atlanta, can be put
In service The indications are that as
soon as the Southern Railway Company
invades the Bay Line territory a new line
will be established by the competing COM
pany. The latter has a number of extra
steamers. and can start q new line at very
short notice.

FORBEARANCE IN POLITICS.

Friction among material objects pro.
duCes electricity, the most powerful
force yet discovered by man. So frlc.
tion of mind upon mind evolves the
best methods and hence the most ef-
feCtiVe agencies for accomplishing re-
rults.
Intolerance is little less than q crime.
1t comes from narrow views of things.
The more one sees the more he learns
concerning the differing elements
among things about him. 1t is that
way in religion, in sociology and poll
tics. The more one man sees of
other men, the better are his opportu-
mites for learning their motives
and interpreting their actions. We
are all frsil enough when we measure
ourselves by the standards of other
men.
If ever there was a time when we
need to bear with one snother's seem.
ing weaknesses, surely that time is
now. The world is passing through a
revolutionary stage. In every civilized
nation there is q feVerish unrest, and
while none have yet seen clearly the
best and only way out, all are looking
ahead for light.
The people of the United States are
in mental turbulence. No man that
thinks but feels that there is a change
coming. Political parties are wrecked,
State Legislatures are unable to agree
and the national Congress is psrslyzed.
All this comes from the universal de-
sire to do that which is best for all,
and from our not seeing things alike.
We all agree on two propositions: (D
There is something wrong; and ~
something ought to be done. Up to
this time the Peoples party is the only
one that has set out to discover what
sils the people and what will cure
them. Soon this new and growing
party will meet in national and State
conventions. Its delegates will 90 up
fresh from the people, each having his
own views of what is the best thing to
do when he gets there. There will be
conflict Of opinion. That is inevitable.
It ought not to be otherwise. There
will be great need of forbearsnce. In
the multitude of counsellors there is
safety. There will be, there must be,
unity in essentials, but there may be
latitude in things not vital. No great
body can maintain itself without some
basis Of union, some one OF more foun.
dstion ideas about which all agree.
Details necessarily develop differences
and this is we'll, for it exposes defects
and crystsllizes the best thought pres
ent.
Aud here at home, in the preliminary
skirmishes of our State campaign, let
rs look far enough toward the enemy
not to fire on our own men. Forbear-
ance Is q virtue.

THE "ISMS" OF THE PEOPLES PARTY.
We are asked many times by old
party men who are not satisfied with
their party leadership, to abandon our
''isms" and take up something that is
practicable.
Let US see what those ''isms" are. 1t
may be said that our party creed is
based on four fundamental proposi-
tions, namely:
First - The earth is the primary
source of subsistence.
SeCond-Lsbor is the source of pro-
duction.
Third-Trsnsportstion is the means
of distributing property.
Fourth-Money Is the medium for
exchanging values.
These four propositions cover the
whole field of human exertlon. These
principles are fundamental. All the
rest are matters Of detail.
We believe that the earth is the law
full heritage Of the people who live on
1t. We believe that every child born
into the world has q right to live here
and to place to earn a livelihood. We
believe in the right of property in land
as In other things; but we do not be-
lieVe that one person may properly hold
more land than he can use while other
men are In need of homes. How to
solve the land question is one Of our
'isms."
We believe that there is work enough
for all to do, and how to get the idle
employed is another Of our ''isms."
We believe that all the people are
vitally interested in securing an equits-
ble distribution Of the surplus produc-
tions of labor. Hence we believe that
transportation is a public function and
that it ought to be performed by public
agencies. How to secure the most per-
feet system of handling our marketable
products is one more ''ism."
We believe that money is the most
subtle and refined of distributing sgen.
cies; that the proper function of money
is to serve public use; and that to
allow private persons or corporations
to issue money and control its volume
and the rates of interest, is to put the
peoples property in the hands of spec
ulators. How to secure the best none
tAry system is still another Of our
''isms.'' And these are all. Every.
thing else is involved in these.
The Peoples party is the only great
national organization that has set out
on living lines. Its ''isms" are so
many broad and deep problems that all
thinking men are now striving to solve.

not declare himself, but refers all in

said he was In favor of the "best

as well as to his silver friends in Kan

York city, an incorporating gold
organ, appears to be well satisfied with
the record which Mr.. Mckinley has
made, That paper, discussing this
subject, says that ''if William McKin-
ley's money views satisfy John Sher-
man, then what friend Of honest money
has any right to doubt, quibble or find
fsult| 1t then quotes the Senator as
follows:

inconsistent with this position"
This is high praise from a distin-
guished source, the MGi1 and EgpreSs
says, and frankly comedies that no fur.

on to say: "The utteranCe Of no Amer
lean citizen can be invested with
greater authority and influence on this
important subject than is this candid
and voluntary statement by our great
Observation-Disclosures, to whose genius
and sagacity the nation Ia indebted for

Living al 700 Fifth avenue is Mr. Thomas
McQuillin, who has been a resident of Sc
Seattle for five years, and is in the employ
of the Union Trunk Line Company. The
poisonous secretions of catarrh had so vi
tiated his entire system that he was almost
physical wreck, until he was restored 10
health by the marvellous power of the Cope
land treatment. He says:
For fifteen years / suffered all the dis
treSSing symptoms Of catarrh of the nose
and throat My nose was stopped UP so
that | had to breathe through my mouth.
My head felt fun, and had severe head
aches. Constant droppings in my throat
annoyed me dreadfully. My stomach be-
came affected, and at last the catarrhal
poisons went through my entire system. l
had oppression after eating, sour stom-
ach and great belching OF gas. My bow
els were stopped up. and my kidneys were
affected. Every winter l was compelled
10 leave my work a quarter of the time,
and was often down with catarrhal fever
a week or more. Doctors appeared unable
TO do anything for me, and / got so that
did not care whether / lived or died. The
apparently genuine and disinterested state
ments of persons cured at the Copeland In
stitute attracted my attention, and | con-
cluded to see what could be done for me.
The result has exceeded my utmost hopes.
My nose is no longed stopped up. nor does
1t discharge. The droppings in my throat
have ceased, and my throat is no longer
sore. My cough is gone. My appetite has
returned, and l have no distress after eat
ing. My bowels are regular. / have been

changes that formerly gave me SO much
