ELI Perkins to Christian Endeavor-

Eli Perkins. who made his fame as a
humorist, showed a depth of feeling and
pathos unsupported by his most intimate
acquaintance, says the Washington Post,
when he stood solemnly a moment in
his Christian Endeavor lecture and said:
Young ladies': l once heard a bowed
down father talking to a careless daugh-
ter whom he loved.

blue eyes and strOking her golden hair,

When your mother comes and begins to
express surprise, go right up 10 her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't mag
inc how L will brighten her dear face.
" Besides, you owe her a kiss or two.
Away back, when you were little girl
she kissed you when no one else was
tempted by your feVer-tainted breath and
swollen face. You were not as attract
i've then as you are now. Through years
of childish sunshine and shadows she was
always ready to cure by the magic of a

which she routed so many bad dreams,

" OF course, she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are, but If you had done
your share of the work during the last
ten years the contrast would not be so
marked.
" Her face has more wrinkles than
yours. And yet, II you were sick, that
face would appear far more beautiful than
an angels as 1t lowered over you, watch
ing every opportunity to minister to your
comfort and every one of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets of sun

face.
She will leave you one of these days
These burdens, If not lifted from her

rough. hard hands which have done so
many necessary things for you Will be

neglected lips, which gave you your first
baby kiss, will be forever closed and those
sad, tired eyes will have opened in eter-

mother, but il will be too late"

n VIII be only after a hard fight. In ST.
louis the Feeling. 10 is claimed. IS strong
in favor OF nominating Senator Teller for
the reason that he can carry the silver
republican states. while Mr.. Bryan can
carry the silver democratic states. The
two together. it is argued. could get a
majority OF the electoral votes. and either
Teller or Bryan would be elected Presi-

We have no doubt that a strong effort

that il viii grow in strength. and that

ticket should be Endorsed. the populst
party would dwindle away and finally

That argument VIII have a powerful IN

We do not believe it viii prevent the in

all the principal populist leaders may not

platform contains the leading populist de-

Looking at the situation as it now pre-

thinking that the Chicago ticket viii be
Endorsed by the popullsts. Two silver
tickets would divide the silver vote

At last the House Of Lords has yielded
90 the demand in England that a man
shall have the privilege Of marrying his
deceased wife's sister. For fifty years or
more efforts were made 20 get a bill
through parliament granting this privil-
eye. bur they we're always opposed so Wig
orously by the bishops and conservative
ehurchmen that they failed. a bin grant
ing the privilege had been passed
by the House o. Commons a num-
Der OF times. In fact. the commons have
never had any particular objection 10 the
bill and Il has always had considerable
support in the House Of Lords A few
days ago. owing largely 10 the efforts OF
the Prince Of wales and other members
Of the royal family. the bill passed the
House Of Lords. II now goes TO the House
Of Commons. where IL Will be approved
as soon as fl can be reached. Thus will
be brought 20 an end a question that has
played no inconsiderable part in English
political and social life, and which has
Afforded considerable amusement in this
country. where there is no legal reason
why a man shouldn't marry his deceased
wifc's sister
II required considerable lobbying to get
the bin through the House Of Lords, be-
cause the bishops the conservative
churchmen and the prime minister were
all against IT. The bill is not as sweeping
in It's provisions as some Of its friends
would like. It relates only to the secular
law. If it should be passed by the House
OF Commons clergymen OF the Church of
England would still be prohibited from
solemnizlng marriage Of man~with
his deceased wife's sister. The canon
law regards such marriages as incestuous.
the bill. therefore. is Of practical in
terest to dissenters only. Still, a step
forward has been taken. and in the course
Of time probably there will be such other
notifications Of the law as viii make II
OF practical interest to members of the
Church OF England.

Candidate Bryan will have at least one
powerful newspaper organ in New York.
The Journal of that city declares for him.
The paper does not undertake to defend
silver recommendation, but AYERS that the
election of Mr.. Bryan is incomparably
preferable to the election of Mckinley
and the return to power of the republican
party. The Journal regards Mckinley as
bound hand, foot and tongue to the most
corrupt combination that ever exhibited
itself openly in an American presidential
campaign" 1t is of the opinion that if
God would turn back the universe and
give the democrats" the day they adopt
ed the platform they would "run a pen
through that portion Of the platform
which embodies the phrase 16 to l." But
since that cannot be. it reminds voters
that platforms do not mean legislation,
and that Presidents do not make the
laws, and advises them to make sure
that the government is not turned over
TO the Hanna syndicate" through the
election OF Mckinley.

New York Journal for Bryan.
From the New York Journal Dem).

In most respects the superiority of the
democratic candidate is so palpable as to
make comparisons needlessly cruel to his
opponent. What, then, is the duty of
American citizens who desire to secure the
best possible government for the republic
during the next four years? Plainly il is
10 vote for that Presidential candidate who
Is manifestly best fitted to administer the
government, and to settle the financial
question through their representative can
question through their representatives in
congress. Gold men may vote for gold cam
dldates, silver men for silver can
didates, and bimetallists for bimetallists
But nobody who realizes what Is at stake
In this campaign can vote TO abandon gov
eminent of the people, by the people. for
the people, in favor of government of Nc
