Instead of going down, as the Wall street brokers ably predicted, the stock market opened higher Saturday, went up higher still and closed at the high est point of the day. And this right after the adoption of silver plat form and the nomination of a silver candidate. Thus the very first pre- diction of the gold men fails to mature. But there is reason for the failure of the prediction. The Wall street gam blers tried to pull the markets down a week ago, and the only result was that the English gamblers on the other side of the game boungt in the goods at the closing out sale and the next day made nice profits on the New Workers. Wall street was afraid the same game would be repeated.

The Garrnett Ran) Eagle asks: Do you know of a Republican who is doubtful as to Mckinley, whose Re- publicanism has been at par in the past two or three years?' The Topeka (Kan) State Journal replies: "Do you know any party man whose political views have been at par for the past two or three years? That's what is going to save the country. Neither Republicans, Democrats or Populists can be whipped into line any more. People are thinking for themselves"

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- ordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibit at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsapardllas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.

The Lawrence (Kan.) Journal asks:
 Before we go any further in this campaign will some free silver advo- cate answer this question: If the United States by its fiat can make 50 cents worth of silver worth a dollar, why can it not by its fiat make a piece of paper worth dollar?'"
 And the Wichita Kan) Eagle makes reply:
 "The constitution of the United States, article 8, section 5, says: Con gress shall have power to coin money and to regulate the value thereof. Our St. Louis Republican platform adds: By and with the consent of England The fiat value of paper seems as yet unregulated by either the constitution or the St. Louis platform As the constitution declares the United States can independently regulate the value of coin money, and the St. Louis platform adds, not without consent oi England, The Journal will have to gC somewhere else for an answer to its fiat paper proposition. The situation seems to have run down so far as the United States Of A America is nonoornec to an issue of independence and de- pendence. The declaration of 177t and the constitution says you can an6 Wall street says you can't, and there you are."

According to a celebrated anatomist
 there are upwards of 5.0OO.OOO little glands in the human stomach These glands pour out the digestive juices which dissolve or digest the food. Indigestion is want of juice, weakness of glands, need of help to restore the health of these organs. The best and most natural help is that given by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Natural because it supplies the materials need ed by the glands to prepare the di- gestive juices. Because it strengthens and invigorates the glands and the stomach, until they are able to do

After his sudden departure for home following his equally unexpected ap- pearance in Chicago during convention time, the Chicago Record gave the fol- lowing explicit reasons for the latest recorded movement of Horace Boies ot Iowa:
 The colt got out into the big road and could not be caught again.
 The red heifer, with the white polka dots on her overskirt, choked on a too pIenteous mouthful of green truck.
 The Shanghai rooster developed un- mistakable signs of pip.
 The hired man went off Fourth of Julying and returned with a statuesque and imposing jag and declared his in- dependence of toll.
 The roam blow horse broke into the roasting ear patch and fears are en- tertained concerning laundering.
 The scythe needed sharpening and the old dog got into a fight with 8 younger and more peevish canine and was somewhat chewed.
 These are the reasons. It will be seen that while some men have time to fool around trying to be president the Iowa husbandman has too busy ( season of it on his farm to remain away and thereby court accident and | distress.

the east have any conception of the west or the people of the west, and we venture the assertion if the masses of the inhabitants of New England were to spend few weeks travelling through and becoming acquainted with their brethren of the west that they would return to their homes convinced that the west is, in itself, sufficient for a mighty empire, that westerners are broad-minded, liberal-spirited even to extravaganza, intelligent to the point of wisdom that knoweth it's own ne- cessities, and how to obtain these without detriment to other sections or neighbors. They would learn, too, that the people of the west had been studying a political economy that en- braced the whole country, and that their studies were not undergone for recitation within the limits or confines of the natural enemies of the United States, the money sharks of Europe with offices in Wall street, New York city, branch offices in every city and town in the east and headquarters in London.
 People of the east, we call upon you to come and investigate. Visit us in our throbbing cities, our thriving towns and busy villages. Drop in at meal time on our ranches of thousands of acres, on our ranges where for days of travel your progress is barred not by fence, seek us in our mines and on our mountains. You will need no let ters of introduction, no cards for wis iting, and the word Welcome, written everywhere, will be your passport.
 Hate! There is no such word in the vocabulary of the west. We love even our enemies.

WEST AND EAST.

Irrespective of politics, it is the duty of each section of a great country like this to familiarize itself with the wants, the desires, the needs, the re- sources and the power of every other section. Having. such knowledge, then no section could affect sur prise at the reasonable and just de- mands of another section.
 Today the eastern papers are busy circulating false statements as to the attitude and feeling of the west. The west is accused of hatred towards the east. A more nonsensical accusation could not well be conjectured, nor, with anything like proper knowledge of the west, meet with consideration when alleged.
 The west, during long term of years, was, to a great extent, depend ent on the east for the sinews whereby to develop and make known to the world it's richness of resource and abil- ity to return untold profits for invest ment made. These latter were spread upon maps, reflected in pamphlets and emphasized by agents of truth, and as a consequence eastern capital, seek ing new and assured fields was at tracted to this section and it came, to visit, to see the advantages, to be won, to stay and increase.
 The eastern capitalist became not only aware of the resources of the west, and it's splendid field for profit able investment, but he also saw, in order to continue his profits here so as not to disturb the usurious stability of his investments in the east, that the power of the west must be checked. To keep this power from becoming an alarming factor in the making of gov ernment the forces of the east must be constantly on the alert, ready at all times to put its entire strength against any attempt on the part of the west to rise from the condition of debtor in subjection to that of equal of creditor The west must submit to terms and never be permitted a voice in the mak- ing of them.
 The west has been looked upon as the child of the east It has in truth played that part, until now it can nc longer wear the clothes of it's parent Conditions are reversed. The west ex. ceeds in area, in population, in devel opment, in resource, in education, yes and in wealth, on the dump and in tht explorable recesses. It exceeds in ont other material direction, more import ant than all else-breadth of mind power of vision, human liberality Three in one, a trinity not now under stood of the east.
 And it is this trinity of qualified tion that gives the lie to the allega tion of hatred towards any other sec tion of the Nation.

 Tucson Star: Of all legislative en- actments which ought to receive the closest scrutiny of the approving or executive power, such as this, which runs counter to the decision of the highest court, and especially which at tempts to validate bonds issued with out the sanction of law or valuable consideration, should receive not only the veto of the executive, but in terms of the strongest condemnation. The United States supreme court declared the legislative enactments of Arizona, under which certain bonded indebted ness was created, was void, and the bonds issued thereunder invalid. And this congressional enactment attempts to make valid that which the supreme court declares invalid The Star holds that notwithstanding the con- gressional enactment and it's approval by the president, that it's provisions so far as validating those bonds are con- cerned, will not stand the test of the supreme court So far as 1t attempts to make the illegal bond issue valid the law is void or Eoidable.

AMERICAN SUPERIORITY.
We Lead the World in the Application
of Electricity.

Hans Zopke, a German civil engi-
neer, commissioned by his govern
ment to look into the methods adopt
ed in this country for the propulsion
of cars by electricity, said to a Wash
ington correspondent: 81 think
America is far ahead of any other
country in the use of electricity. You
have taken advantage of every in
vention and appliance that the cleo
tricians have conceived, and in this
are leaders of the world. / have made
many reports to my government re-
gardIng the electric roads of the
United States, and now, as my leave
is nearly up, l am furnishing the final
recommendations and observations. l
have been much interested in the ex-
periments with electric locomotives,
and the one used in Baltimore is one
of the marvels of the age. 1t is n great
credit to the General Electric Compa-
ny, and, / believe, is but the forerun-
ner of greater things in the same line.
l have applied for an extension of my
leave in order that I may remain in
the United States to e the develop
ments of the next six months. I be-
lieve that the spring of 1896 will wit
ness some of the greatest experiments
with electricity the world has known.
The principal trial will be in the use
of electric motors on steam roads, and
l feel sure that the result will be sur
prising. My government is much in
terested in the future of electricity,
and is anxious to take advantage of
all modern methods and appliances"

"He was a fairly prosperous mer-

Maj. Henry A. Newman, speaking
of the ext Confederate Home, says: "It
is doing well. There r 1876 old SOL
diers there, who are being tenderly
cared for. We have a farm worth
500, 900 and the old soldiers are sup
ported by the charities of the public.
Last year Missouri contributed S12,-
600, mostly at school meetings, for the
support of the home. This year it is
hoped to raise the amount through
the Confederate camps, of which one
is organized in each county. If every
old Confederate will give a dollar it
will easily support it. If they could
know what a blessed charity this is,
could see their one-armed comrades,
some of them blind and all of them
helpless, they would not begrudge the
aid given them"
