Strong in Brain and Drawn.

The average student in an
American College today is a fine
specimen of manhood, physically
as well as mentally. This was
not generally so a generation
ago. The student Of ante bellum
days was, as a rule, mentally
strong, but physically weak.
His brain was cultivated, but his
Drawn was neglected. He was
apt to be round shouldered, mar
row chested, hollow checked
spindle-shanked, and as lean as
the typical Bro. Jonathan drawn

at all comparable in physical
beauty to his sons and grandsons

Just what It Means.

Let US try to put this silver
question plainly, so that any
workingman can understand it.
When you get your wages on
pay day you probably receive
various notes. If you read what
lis printed on them you will find
that they are not all alike. One
says that the United States will.
pay one dollar; another promises
one silver dollar; another one
dollar in coin; but you never
bother yourself about these DIFF
ferences. The notes are all alike
to you, because you know they
are all of equal value.
Why Because thsy circulate
Iinterch angeably and behind them
all is the pledge Of the govern
Iment of the United States to
maintain them all at parity with
gold. And you know that as
long as the present law remains
and is administered as it is now.
every one of these notes is good
for a dollars worth of gold, and
has exactly the value of a dollar
in gold all the world over.
Now what does the free coin.
age of silver mean Z 1t means
that instead of redeem1ng these
notes in gold, the United States
shall redeem them in silver. And
not with a dollars worth of sill.
yer, mind you. but with coin
containing 4l24 grains Of silver,
one tenth alloy, which is worth
anywhere in the world to-day
about SO cents in gold.
That is exactly what is propos-
ed, to scale down the value of all
our currency nearly one.half.
Do you think that would benefit

Bansby Bryan.

Itseems clear that Hon. VIII
liam Jennings Bryan doesn't pros
duce emotional goods except
when the order has been put in a
long time ahead OF the date OF
delivery. His speeches in his
journey from Chicago to Lincoln
by way Of Salem had all the
splendid imaginative power and
robust reasoning of the Omaha
directory. In his address to-
some citizens of Colorado on
Monday he stood upon the heays
en-kissing heights Of thought
and chucked down these words
of doom: +
THE election of Bryan and
Sewall would mean Endorsement
of the policies for which we stand
1t would mean that the American
people think those policies better
than the policies Of our oppon
ents.'

The Farmer
Or Protection vs.. Free Silver.

Or Protection vs.. Free Silver.
The free silver advocates are
being rapidly driven from their
strongholds. Many of their
most favorite arguments have
been assailed and shattered. The
cry that it was more money
that the country needed has
been hushed by Bryan who says
overhis signature that Financial
stringency does not hinge on the
amount of money in circulation. !
They storm around about the
barons of Wall street and the
money lenders but in none of
their speeches have they told the
farmer how he was to get his
share Of the so called free sill
YER The farmers are not be-
ing deceived. They recognize
the same crowd of free traders
who banished our prosperity
and brought on the wreck and.
ruin that has prevailed in the
United States since 1873. The
farmer knows that the cheap
money craze was gotten up by
the same fellows who, three
years ago said this country was
ruined by protection and that
free trade would give US high.

markets and golden age Of

behind their silver cross but
the farmers will not be fooled.

MUST RERJDLATE SILVER

Col. Morrison Declares Himself on the Sill
yer ! Question:
CHICAGO, Feb. s59-Rlans for the
Democratic campaign in ~ Illinois have
been twisted by William r. Morrison.
Through his lieutenants,. William S.,
Forman and William B. . Brinton, Mr..
Morrison sent WORD to the Democratic
state executive committee that the
free silver idea must be repudiated
before they could use his name with
authority as,the Democratic organiza-
tons Presidential candidate More
than this, he insisted that the national
delegates from Illinois must be sound
money Democrats If the State or
ganization, of which Governor Altgeld
is the head, attempts to send silver
men to the national convention, Mr..
Morrison serves notice that he will
come to Illinois in person to lead the
fight against the silver advoca tes.
When the committee met every
member had been informed of Mr..
Morrison's views. They were not
mentioned in the meeting, although
the committee took occasion to give
the presidential candidate slap by
repudiating the action of his chief sup
porter, b. T. Cable. Chairman Hin
richsen and his silver colleagues on
the committee had accepted Mr.. Nor
rison as a presidential candidate, pre-
suming he would not question the
financial views of the national dele
gates or the plank in the state plat
form SO long as he had the support of
the Illinois delegation. The threat
which accompanied his demand left
them in a state of uncertainty. They
were not given time to make plans,
so the committee attempted no big
politics, but confined itself to drudg-
cry.
One Of Mr.. Morrison's friends said
after the meeting that the candidate
intended to make good every word his
lieutenants had told the members Of
the committee Mr.. Morrison will be
merce commission about February 20.
He will call on Governor Altgeld at
Springfield and Chairman Hinrichsen
and try to get an inkling from them
what they intend the Illinois dele
gates shall do in the national conven-
tion. He will remind them that last
year when athey were agitating the
free silver movement he kept silent at
their request and raised no protest
when the silver state convention
adopted an out-and-o out 16 to 1 plat
form. If they refuse to make any
promises favorable to sound money,
Mr.. Morrison told his friends that he
would make Democratic politics inter-
esting for the next few months.

INDIAN LEGISLATION.
Provisions of the Bill Drafted by the
Dawes Commission.


Dawes Commission
WASHINGTON, Feb s. The Dawes
Commission appeared before the SEN
ate committee yesterday and explained
the provisions of bill which the
members are prepared to recommend
for the Indian Territory. The COM
missioners gave the senators to under
stand that the provisions meet with
the approval of the President, and
that such bill, if it shall become a
law, will be signed. They also stated
that the bill had been drawn in such
way as, in the opinion of the Ad-
ministration, avoided conflict with ex-
isting treaties between the United
States and the five civilized tribes.
One OF the provisions extends the
jurisdiction Of the Federal courts over
the Indians SO completely as to leave
nothing for the Indian courts to do.
Another provision declares that no
act OF an Indian council shall go into
effect until approved by the President.
Town sites are provided for.
The Dawes Commission is continued,
and is given enlarged powers. The
Commission is to make up the rolls of
oAio Ahui"us eHCiCleu 10 tllDal rights,
to apportion and divide the lands,
acre OF town lots, among the Indians,
according to value, not SIZE AS soon
as the patent passes to the Indian, the
property becomes his to do with as he
pleases. No inallenable right goes
with any Of the property. The Dawes
Commission is to have charge of the
Intruder question and of all like con-
troversies. In short, the Indians. un-
der the operation Of the proposed act,
will become citizens of the United
States and landholders, and for the
present the Commission will exercise
most of the functions of the govern
ment. apart from what belongs to the
Federal courts.
