every Highly Commended"

From the Wisconsin Christian Endeavor Union for

The Washington Star is to be very highly
commended for the most excellent reports
which it furnished of the International

Illustrations. and during the week cuts of
hundreds of the prominent Endeavors from
all sections of the country were inserted in
its columns. Literature committees could
do nothing better than to secure files of

LAW IN THE BRIBERY CASE

There is a considerable difference Of
opinion among ,awyers regarding the
law in the contempt case.
1t is held by some that the charges
Of ~obstructing justice by means Of
bribing witnesses, is an Infamous act
and punishable as a felony, aud
therefore requir's a regular Grand
Jury indictment. This is a decision
by Chief Justic. Field sustained by a
full bench. On the other hand it is
claimed that bribing a witness is only
a mis- iemeanor, md not a States Pris-
or offense, and therefore can be pro-
cee1ed against oy thu U. s. District
Attorney on "information and belief"
Also that under the Constitu-
ton all proceedings where the crime
charged is a felony, and punishable
by imprison ment in the State Prison,
the indictment must be made by a
gr md jury.
If this Is the correct Interpretation
of the law it nay require another

quer in the field, ever tamely submitted

We will never concede that this repub-

never concede, as the populists pretend,
that 1t is but wrecker's light kindled
by the hands of cupidity to lure the
bark of human folks upon the rocks Of
destruction, disorder and dishonor.
1--WE will never believe that the rec
ord Of the American republic obscures
the horizon of hope to the children Of
men. We will always believe that it
broadens, all over the world, the pros
pect of free institutions for every coun-
try in the world. We will never con-
cede that those stars in that flag are
teardrops rained from the eye of hui
man despair. We will always insist
that, like the stars in heaven, they are
glittering proofs of Gods abundant,
overlooking mercy to men. We believe
that as long as civilization lasts this
republic will continue to lead mankind
in the pathway of honest dealing and
wise legislation. We believe that wher-
ever in the future men may talk of the
country that is greatest, of the people
that are the grandest, of the nation
that is the most prosperous-in which
the men are the bravest and the women
are the purest-we will know the coun~
try of which we speak; we will know
that they can speak of but one; we will
know My country, tits OF thee, sweet

How are these extra dollars to be cir

er found scarcity Of money when con-
fidence existed and credit was sound

Brawny Hands the money Power"
But had almost forgotten the great
argument Of the populists, the one
which Mr.. Bryan has amplified so that
it now may be called his stock argu-
ment, the central point about which all
others revolve, which with its pictur-
sequences and his eloquence has so
marked it that all other arguments
seem commonplace to his hearers, and
that Is the influence of England upon
this country. 1t seems to be an attract
i've statement. When man can walk
up and down a platform before free
American citizens and ask them If they
will consent their monetary system
shall be dominated by any country I'M
der the sun, and work himself up to a
proper degree of enthusiasm, people are
apt to be misled by the character of the
statement and think there is something
in the defiance of money power some
5000 or 1000 miles away.

there Is anything original even in that?
