Ribbons and Flomers

Now being displayed in ali their new
spring shades at prices never as
cheap before. The new combination
OF coloPS, blended together, twisted
and knOtted, for those foreign shape
hats for the ladies makes a wonder
ful difference in the looks and COM
plexiOn of the fair sex, and makes
the fair look faiPeP. A large variety
OF these styles can now be found in
the Millinery Department.
Some ladies have an idea that be-
cause we carry our large stock of
Ribbons in the Millinery Depart
ment that they have to pay more
for them, but this is a mistake. 1t is
simply done by us to have them
near to the Hats, and not have to go
but few feet from one department
TO another. During the busy m1lli-
merry season we are supposed to sell
several hundred hats in a day, and
to save a few feet in travel on each
sale means the saving of miles in a
week.

Bryan In New England,

Mr.. Bryan's visit to New England
last week was notable. With the ex-
ception of some discourtesies shown
him by the students of Yale College at
New Haven, he was everywhere re-
ceived with marked attention, and great
audiences greeted him in Boston
Worcester, Springfield and elsewhere.
But Mr.. Bryan is evidently getting
somewhat irritated, and he is not dis
playing such an angelic temper as
would be expected from a man who is
apparently 80 confident that he has this
nation behind him. On the contrary,
he shows signs of realizing the fact
that he is fast approaching the most
tremendous whipping that was ever adj
ministered to presidential candidate,
and especially to one filed with self
gloriication as is Mr.. Bryan. Some of
his speeches would indicate that he has

The Silver Trust.

We hear a great deal from free silver
orators regarding the trusts, combines
and monopolies that, from their point
of view, illustrate the evils of the gold
standard. But we hear nothing from
them regarding that gigantic trust in
whose service they are--the great COM
bine of silver mine-owners which
stands behind the free-silver move
ment. During the past twenty years
in which the sharp decline of silver
has aroused these wealthy mine-owners
to the Importance of combining to pro-
duce legislation which would raise the
price of their products, this colossal
trust has been in conspiracy to make
the government of the United States
its tool or instrument in forcing their
products on the American people. 1t
has filed the Hobbies of congress with
paid agents, has subsidized many men
of oratorical ability, and has kept
steadily at work filling the country with
free-silver speeches and free-siver lit
erature. The men who compose it
have practically controlled the populist
party and have enlisted in their behalf

become so desperate that he has ceased
to argue and now rests bis claim to the
presidency on the wickedness of the
republicans. Here is what he said in
Springfield: "They say that the silver
craze is dying out. l care not what
they call the silver cause. You may
apply to it epithets as you will, but
tell you that the silver cause will not
die, because truth never dies. You ask
me why know that this cause is true.
[ can give you many reasons, but one
reason is sufficient; this, that every
enemy TO good government is against
free silver. You can know a cause as
you can know an individual by the
company that it keeps" The majorities
in Vermont and Maine show some
thing of how many enemies " the
government has in these states, accord
ing to Mr.. Bryan's view of it, and the
millions of voters who will by over
whelming majorities snow him and the
silver scheme under in November will
perhaps show Mr.. Bryan how cursed is
this land by men who " keep company "
with the gold standard. A very few of
Mr.. Bryan's speeches commend them
selves alike to republicans and demo-
Gratis by their fairness, by their logic,
and by their eloquence; but such drivel
and nonsense as is quoted above shows
that the Nebraska candidate for pres
ident is running short of arguments to
justify his claims and his opinions.

many leaders of the labor organization.
Their paid agents have been indus
triously at work among the farmers,
and among the rank and file of both
political parties, in the vain attempt to
make them believe that the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver was the
sure panacea for all the misfortunes,
real and imaginary, under which they
were suffering. Twice in the history
of this country they have come very
near accomplishing their object, and
only the compromise measures known
as the Bland and Sherman bills saved
the country from free-silver calamity,
Under the Sherman act, however, silver
still declined rapidly, and the enormous
purchase of silver by this government
for three years brought it to the brink
of insolvency, until the act was re-
pealed in 1893 in response to the over
whelming demand of the country. As
final result of this crusade of twenty
years, Iuls sllVer coinolne, WHICH w
tanned temporary control of the ma
tional democratic convention at Chi
cago, has succeeded in nominating for
president one of its hired servants,
who is backed by fusion of the demo-
cratic and populist parties. They are
risking their cause upon final appeal,
not to the good judgment and reason,
but to the class hatreds, prejudices,
discontents and dishonesty of the
masses. The republican party and the
American people, however, have picked
up the gauntlet they have thrown
down and will give them their answer
on the third of November next.

Hopes Built ON Sand,

Any close observer of the daily record
of events since the assembling of the
national conventions last summer must
find it extremely difficult to understand
on what is based the exuberant hopes
entertained by the advocates of free
silver as to the outcome of the present
campaign. Because of democratic adj
ministrative incapacity, republican
tidal wave set in less than two years
ago which swept over the entire coun-
try. The elections of 1894 not only
restored the republicans to power in
doubtful states, or in states where
republican ascendency had been tenn
porarily impaired, but gave to Ker-
lucky republican governor and re-
publican majority in the legislature of
that state large enough to defeat the
reelection of Senator Blackburn. 1t
gave the republicans control of the ma
tional House of Representatives by a
large majority, and gave the republican
party throughout the country an APP
parently easy chance to win a decisive
victory next November. Since the ma.
tional conventions at Chicago and st.
Louis, the record shows that the re.
publican party has remained practically
united, while the democratic party,
especially since the split in the national
convention at Chicago, has done little
more than to keep up its organization.
Prominent men of that party have
fought shy of the presidential NOM
ination, foreseeing their sure defeat.
The party at present is absolutely over
run with contending factions. 1t has
two presidential candidates in the field,
and thousands of its supporters in
former presidential campaigns will vote
for Mckinley and Hobart in preference
to either of the democratic nominees.
The populist reinforcement amounts to
practically nothing and will by no
means offset the loss of the sound
money democrats. Added to this, more
than two hundred of the leading demo-
cratic journals of the country have
bolted and still steadfastly refuse to
endorse the democratic platform or to
support its nominees. Mr.. Bryan has
also been repudiated by President
Cleveland, who was twice chosen as the
standard bearer of the democratic party
and true exponent of it's policy. Mr..
Bryan has the distinction, if distinction
it is, of being the first and only presi-
dental candidate who has isolated him
self from the support of the old and
trusted leaders OF the party. He is the
only candidate who ever sought the
presidency on platform that is dis
timely offensive to the moral sense of
the nation. He is contending against
the best interests of the nation and
against the forces of truth, of honor,
and of right. For these and many
other reasons, the hopes of his follow
ers are doomed to disappointment.

who ministered to the spiritual wants Of
Roman Catholics in Montpelier Among
those who we're entertained under Mr..
HamePs roof, in those early days, was
Bishop Fitzgerald Of Boston. Father O'Sul-
Ivan said he always regarded Mr.. Hamel
as human, living cornerstone OF st. Au-
gustine's church He was always model
OF fidelity, loyalty and generosity towards
the church. He was familiar figure in
the sanctuary, where he had the special
privilege Of attending the altar and waiting
upon the priest. He was looked upon as a
patriarch Of the congregation, and, physi-
cally, morally and otherwise, he had many
OF the qualities that are attributed to the
patrarchs of old. The cause Of the esteem
in which he was held by the citizens Of all
denominations may be found in the fact
that he always had the courage Of his
convictions, and in his fidelity to his re-
ligious belief. He was a living proof Of the
statement that Americans always esteem
and trust man who thus proves true to his
principles. No matter what personal
ideas we may entertain, we always esteem
a man who has the courage OF his convic-
tiOns, be he Protestant or Catholic, SO long
as putting them into practice does not in
terfere with the rights OF others. Such
man was Alexander Hamel.
