Ii Hung Chang is a fitting repre-
sentative his empire. He can pow
WOW and palaver and in a way set be-
fore the European powers what might
be, but he cannot enter into the least
business transaction with them, nor is
he authorized to pledge his govern
ment to anything. He is only feeling
the way of the Heather Chinee among
the eastern nations in order to re-
port. He is merely a kind of high
muck amuck reporter for his master,
the emperor of the Flowery kingdom.

Hanna carries a very level head I'M
der that big hat of his. His brains
are CORRESPONDENCE large with his
body. He went to New York to do
business for the Republican party,
and he invited all true Republicans
who had anything to say to him to
come forward frankly and say it. He
did not send for any one to be closet
ed with him in a cubby hole, he knew
neither Plat or anti-Platt partisans,
but only Republicans. He accom-
plished his work in a truly business
like way and departed, leaving the
impression behind him that he knows
how to handle his job.

There is a decided disinclination on
the part of those who are enquiring
for campaign literature to content
themselves with matters pertaining
to the currency. There is a marked
demand for figures and facts bearing
upon the tariff and the effect of the
Wilson and Mckinley schedules upon
production, prices and sales. These
enquiries show that the tariff ques-
ton is not going to be thrust aside.
As the campaign progresses it will
come more and more prominently in
to notice, and in the end largely alb
sorb the general attention. This be-
cause it is to the tariff, and not to the
money issues of the country, as at
present they are found, that the peo-
pie must look for relief. There is not
II doubt of this fact coming to the
front prominently.

- The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact,
as rule, they are not. What is want
ed is something mild and sure, such as
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the sue
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number of drug
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In
speaking of this medicine Mr. B. B.
Buffum, of Friendsville, Suspuehan-
ma County, Pennsylvania, says: "We
have used it in our family for pain in
the stomach, collie and diarrhoea, and
found it to be the most effective rem
edy." For sale by all, druggists.

AS this is free silver campaign the
free silver should come into play as
sinnews of war. No gold or national
bank currency should be accepted by
the Bryanites for any political ser
vices. By the way it has never yet
been stated whether the round million
subscribed by the silver syndicates
for the carrying on of the campaign
is to be paid in silver or gold? There
should be nothing left to conjecture
in such condition of affairs as this.
Out with it,

Jones is not the first man who at
tempted to run a political bike and
ditched it before his feet were well
on the pedals. He will find that his
classification of the southern Popu-
lists with the southern blacks is not
popular as his free silver ideas. All
the same Populists have brought the
trouble upon themselves by going
over brains and garments into the
ranks of their ancient enemies and
volunteering to hew wood and draw
water for them.

New England will hold an election,
or at least part of her, in September,
1t will then be seen how much milk
there is in the free silver coconut. 1t
is freely asserted in the camp of the
Bryanites that the farmers of Yer
mont will bolt the Mckinley ticket
and be found swelling the ranks of
the white metallists. On the contrary
the old Green Mountain state is green
in name only and will be found roll
ing up a good majority for the state
ticket. When it comes to the national
campaign they will add to their Re-
publican vote. They always do this.
Vermont is one of those states along
the Canadian border that reaped sub,
stantial benefits during the few
months that the Mckinley tariff bill
was in operation, and they are hun
CRY for another dose of the same med
icine. The silverites may as we'll give
up Vermont now as later on.

THEY HEARD HIM PREACH.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Dr. @. o. Brown,
who was recently involved in a scan
dial in San Francisco, preached Sun
day morning and evening at the
Church of the Covenant. A report
that Rev. J. T. Blanchard's congrega-
ton would refuse to attend because Of
the accusations made against DR..
Brown by Mr.. Tunnel was not con-
firmed by the attendance at the two
services. The number of persons
present when DR.. Brown delivered his
first sermon in Chicago was larger
than usual, and no protest whatever,
so far as can be learned, came from
the congregation.

1t is said that Carlisle having be-
come a pervert to the Bryanite pro-
gram, is about to throw his heart into
his heels and do the double acrobat
act for the benefit of Cleveland. If
Carlisle can prevail upon Grover to
openly espouse the cause Of Bryan, as
preferable to seeing Mckinley elected,
then he will have done that which
will make Growers old guard weep
with sorrowful bitterness. This how
ever is in the books, as also that Da-
vid B. Hill will take the stump for the
ticket nominated at Chicago and en-
dorsed in part by the Populists at st.
Louis. There is nothing more to be
said. If this is to be then Democracy
in it's final analysis simply means
principles be damned" If this is the
residium then it is well for the people
to know it.

That the presence of the chairman
of the national Democratic campaign
committee in st. Louis, at the Populist
convention, taking an active part in
its arrangements, was a mistake is
as plainly seen by the Democrats now
as it was by the Republicans at the
time. There never has resulted any
good to the party thus attempting to
drive bargain for a sell out and this
is not going to be any exception to the
general rule. The aftermath is get

Altgeld has opened his batteries on
Jones, and there is going to be a di-
vision among the faithful in Illinois.
Altgeld had the whole thing mapped
out in his mind, and Jones has spilled
a blotch of black ink over the fair
draught that the Illinois draughts-
man had made. Altgeld has a griev-
ance against Jones' mouth and like
the object of that grievance it grows
no less.

Altgeld is hot over me lack of bust
ness and brains and management that
Jones displays. 1t is no secret that
the Illinois anarchist has been out of
sorts ever since Jones showed what
a poor hand he held at st. Louis. He
charges him with the antagonism
that has been allowed to spring up be-
tween Sewall and Watson and de-
mands that he be called to time. When
it comes to calling Jones down at this
stage of the game, it will be in order
to remember what Lincoln said about
swapping horses while crossing a
stream. 1t matters not anyway, for
Jones will never be able to carry Bry-
an within sight of the White House,
no matter whether he takes the colt
by the tail or not. 1t is all day with
Jones.

NAVY YARD ACCIDENT.

New York, Aug. 21.-An accident,
which caused upwards of 100000
damage, occurred in the Brooklyn
Navy yard Saturday night. The
scene of the disaster was the dry dock,
built about seven years ago. A wave
caused by a passing sound steamer,
which forced itself pass the heavy
caisson of the dry dock and capsized
it, throwing it into the dock and allow
ing the water to rush in. The force
of the water caused the moorings Of
the torpedo boat Ericsson to snap and
the boat was hurled against the end
of the dock, carrying away about -
feet of the afterward end of the dock.

Free silver is the only bond of union
between the Democrats and the Pop
ulists. In all else they are far as
sunder, and in free silver union there
is more apparent than real harmony.
