the Professional Woman's League OF

President Of a club which made its sole
object the reading Of new novels, espe-

branch clubs which shall preach the
gospel of progressiveness In literature,
for she declares that the idea that all

old k e Universities are
largely to blame for this false impress

Silk Underwear Not Heaithful.
Opinions differ as to the comfort de-
rived from the different materials from
which underwear is made, but there il
n thing, says a medical contempor-
airy, which admits Of no doubt, and
this is that while silk Is exceedingly
warm, soft and pleasant to the flesh,
1t Is at the same time by no means the
healthiest substance for the undergar-
ment. In proof Of this, practical OBJ
servation has demonstrated that silk
stockings will make the toughest and
healthiest feet moist, wet and tender,
until walking becomes painful. A silk
scarf worn around the neck next to the
skin will, In nine wearers out of ten,
produce sore throat. Silk makes the
neck hot and moist, and the first stray
breath Of cool air that strikes the skin
feels like a drop of iced water, and will
produce q cold. Silk seems to have
the faculty, as contrasted with wool,
Of opening the pores and melting per-
spiration; and If it will do this with
the feet and neck there Is every rea-
O to believe that it will produce equal
susceptibility to cold when worn about
the chest and limbs. Those who wear
silk stockings invariably have tender
feet. The rule that applies to the male
applies equally to the female. Silk UNI
derclothing may be very comfortable,
but perhaps the advocates Of dress re-
form would do as much good If they
would discuss carefully the hygienlc
value Of the material, as well as the
cut and style, Of the undergarment.

"THREE state conventions, the
democratic, populist and free-silver
republicans, meeting in state con-
vention in Ellensburg, send con-
gratulations, and promise you the
electoral vote Of the state"
This is the telegram received by
Bryan from Washington. The peo-
pie are falling in line for the peo-
pies candidate. They have had
their eyes open to the plans Of
Hanna and his helpers, the Wall
street millionairs, Mckinley is a
very good man, but he is in awfully
bad company. He would naturally
make a good run, but the people
have no confidence in his hackers
the trusts, combines and monop-
olies. Many people would not
mind having Mckinley for presi-
dent, but they do not want Hanna.
The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1896-08-20

INAsMUcH as both ofthe opposing
parties in Alabama are equally in
favor of the free coinage Of silver, it
might be possible for either side to
win a victory at the polls without
the result having any significance.
But if the democratic ticket has
gained an increased honest vote,
which seems to be the case, the re-
suit is highly signicant. The fus-
ion between republicans and popu,
lists is frmer and stronger in Ala
bama than in any other Southern
state, and the hostility between
populists and democrats is as bitter
as it is in Texas. If in spite Of
these adverse influences, the cleo
ton shows that the democratic
ticket has won back any number
Of populist voters, then it is only
reasonable to infer that the same
result may be expected in other
Southern states. From this point
of view the Alabama election would
indicate a solid South for Bryan,
with the possible exception Of some
of the border states where the race
question is not a factor.--N. Y.

No argument is too low for
Hanna and his subsidized press to
wage. He is trying to make the
soldier vote solid for Mckinley. In
doing SO, he does not attempt to
prove that free silver will be bad
for the country at large, but that
it will be bad for the pensioner in
particular, by decreasing the value
Of his pension. Hanna is making
a fearful mixture ofloye Of country
and love of self.

HANNA IN EVIDENCE.

THE republican politicians seem
to be singularly blind to the. effect
upon their canvass of Mark Han
mas prominence and the affiliations
which he naturally seeks here
in New York. This mushroom
millionaire boss is organizing the
Mckinley campaign as he would
organize an iron trust. He goes to
Pierpont Morgan for aid and ad-
vice as to checking the silver move
ment which that eminent financier
did more than any other man to
create. He has installed Matt Quay
and Powell Clayton as lieutenants
and appointed an executive COM
mittee of rich and experienced fat
friers. All this renders unneces-
sarily absure the claim that the re-
publican party represents in this
election all the honesty, patriotism
and moral sentiment Of the coun-
try.
Have the republican leaders for
gotten the millionaire banquet
the "Belshazzar feast"-that de-
feated Blain in 1884 at the last
moment. They retired Payne from
their executive committee this
wear because he was obnoxious to
the labor unions. Do they lack
the discretion or the power to keep
Hanna, with his money bags, his
fat-friers and his professional cor
ruptionists, out of sight as an Of
fense to the moral sentiment and
the political sense of the COM
munity.
The combination that is direct
ing the Mckinley campaign is
really working effectively fofBryan.
Republicans who know what is
operating on the minds of the peo-
Pile must be conscious of this fact.

Our republican friends seem
much horrifed at the undignified
canvass that Bryan is making, and
proclaim that Mckinley will make
no speeches, but will be in all
things dignifed, whatever that
may mean. A few brief speeches
to enthusiastic gatherings along
the route are enough to out
rage republican ideas of pro-
priety, but the wholesale con-
tribution of thousands Of dol
lars from Wall street to help
Hanna buy the presidency for Nc
Kinley, does not offend their ideas
Of decency. There is nothing
improper in Bryan speaking to peo-
pie if they want to hear him, but
there is something criminal Las well

THE dispatches never tell where
Hanna, McKinley's manager, has
kind word for the farmer. He
never has any. He consorts with
millionaire politicians and frequents
the dens of Wall street. Never
before in the history of American
politics, have the lines been SO
plainly drawn between the rich
man and his poor neigh Dor. Nc
Kinley, Notwithstanding his great
personal worth, is forced to become
the candidate of the moneyed aris-
tooracy, while Bryan is the popular
and eloquent defender of the
masses. Countless thousands of
gold, hundreds Of banks, boards Of
unscrupulous political managers,
with all their combined influences,
are seeking to defeat the champion
Of the American workmen. This
is desperat struggle. The enemies
Of the people are no longer trying
to hide their work, but are openly
making bold and desperate at
tempt to trample upon the dearest
interest Of the masses. This is not
plitical fight, but fight Of the
combination Of wealth against the
people. Let the farmer, the
mechanic and laborer vote for his
home, his family, his country.
Let Hanna and his republican
democratic boodlers be forever
beaten. Let the people, who made
this country by their industry,
keep it by their votes.

The republicans, amazed at the
successful fusion Of the free silver
elements in all parties, are trying
their best to bring discord among
the Bryan supporters. They court
fusion with Southern populists to
beat the democrats, but denounce
fusion between democrats and
western populists. The republic
cans were never consistent in but
one thing, to thwart the peoples
will. Sensible populists will not
let the republican scheme turn
them from the path of duty.
