CHANGING THEIR TACTICS.
Brynnites Are Taking Shy NJ the
Courts.

New evidence Is furnished every few
days that Organism is becoming more
and more radical and revolutionary. IT
am more OF grccnbacker than any
thing else" says Henry George. "Ali
the friends OF Bryan are with me in this
fight. The silver question Is a mere in
cident, and / stand for the great prin-
ciples back of the Chicago platform"
That most OF the influential friends OF
Bryan are with George in his present
crusade is plain from the endorsements
he has received from Tillman and tho
majority of the members OF the demo-
cratic national committee who have eN-
pressed themselves regarding his can
didacy. George is within the bounds OF
truth in these assertions.
What are 1.-THE great principles back
OF the Chicago PLATFORM" Greenback-
ism, George in;imates. is one Of them.
md probably he is right. That was the
leading plank in the platform OF one OF
the three parties which supported Bry-
an last year, the populst party. George
Is n collcctvist, and so arc most Of those
who supported Bryan last year and
nearly all Of those who are favoring
George this year. lie wants the land
"nationalized." Perhaps Bryan will not
go so far as TO indorsc the single tax yet.
but il is safe 20 say that he is In favor OF
the naturalization" of railroads and
telcgraphs. One of Bryan's parties. the
populist. had this among the list Of its
demands last year, and had II in 1892,
when Bryan voted its ticket and took
the stump for it's candidate.
OF course a general attack upon the
courts Is demanded by the great prin-
ciplcs back OF the Chicago platform"
That platform directly assailcd tho
courts. but IL Is evident That the men
who framed IL have q greater grudge
against the courts now than they had in
1896. Altgeld's speech In Philadelphia
On Labor day and Bryan's speech in ST.
Louis az the same time are evidences of
this feeling of hostility to the courts.
The Bryanite platform OF 1900 will go
farther in opposition to them than that
Of 1896 did. Some Of Bryan's followers
last year demanded the abolition OF the
supreme court and OF the entire federal
judiciary. The only courts they would
/ have are the state courts. The judges
Of every one OF these they would have
elective, and tho terms would be short
ened SO MS TO bring the bench closer 10
the people" There is n very strong
nntagonism too, among powerful Gle
ment Of the Brynnites 70 the senate and
I strong desire TO have a one branch
congress like Frances i'm the old revo-
\ lutionary days. Not all Of these 'od-
vanced" notions may get into the Fry
ante platform OF 1900, but il is safe to
predict thnt that delivcrance will be the
most fearfully and wonderfully con-
structed proclamation Of principles ever

speech-that this large and busy coun-
try must have more money, that It's
circulating medium must be materially
increased. lie declares with great en-
phasis and melodramatic gesticulation
that il we do not get more money into
circulation he will continue 10 express
his profound displcasure az the situa-
tion-whenever he can get town To
purchase an installment OF his oratory

But our enthusiastic young friend,
Mr. Bryan, has been so busy telling US
what he wants that he has entirely
overlooked the fact that we have been
carrying out his directions in most
remarkable manner. lie has been tak-
ing from $500 TO 81 800 out Of circulation

Mr.. Mcintosh reports that last
week a syndicate of English CAPT

the Warren meadow for SOC, 900 and
will at once put in an extensive

PECULIAR ORE.

Denver Republican
A few days ago George Aggers OF

of ore from his lode claims on the

sents peculiar and extremely in
teresting phase of naturalization.
The ore is heavily impregnated
with copper, both in pyritous aad

groups of disqualification the gold is
observed in the native form. In
other parts of the ore gold is very
readily seen in the planes of frac-

The vein from which this ore was
taken is. from three to four feet
wide, and the streak in which this
peculiar formation is found is from

I contracted chronic diarrhoea. 1t

dozen different medicines and sew
eral prominent doctors without any

friend sent me a sample bottle of

l bought and took a 80 cent bottle;
and now can say that l am en-

about as to be almost temperate.
Acrossfhe sonth of Salmon river
the ascent leads to greater heights
than on the north. There is moth
ing but a trail through here and
after leaving the breaks we also
left mankind for a few days. The
trail runs through the Devils coun-
try, as one need not be told from
the copper color that stains every
rock and boulder within sight.
This is most interesting, varied
and picturesque section and the
early morning rides through the
deep piney woods were filled with
increasing delight and charm. The
start would be made while the
great trees were still shrouded in
grey and mist and before the sun
rose red and purple over the
neighboring snow banks. We rode
through those dense solitudes al
most solemnly, for beneath tn ose
heavy branches who has not felt
in some degree the plaintive grief
they seem to voice? Their silence
is like none other; their quiet more
eloquent than song or sermon;
their voices when the wind sways
their plumy tops is like the sob OF
human sorrow. Through it all one
seems to feel the presence Of God
whispering through the leaves,
slumbering in the canyons or muf-
fled in the tall and waving reeds.
The air is resinous and balsam,
crisp and sweet as the breath OF
babes. The red sun is painting
great bars of gold across the curl
ing mist that rises from the little
stream far, far below. The giant
peaks of the Seven Devils stand out
in cold and isolated splendour while
sunlight and shadow are playing
caprices along their hoary sides.

EASY TO KEEP WELL,
Some Of the Conditions Necessary
to Perfect Health.

The first great essential for good
health is pure, rich, nourishing
blood. 1t must be admitted AS
beyond question that no medicine
has such record of cures as
Hoods Sarsaparilla, "the one true
blood purifier 1t is literally
true that there are hundreds of
people alive and well today who
would have been in their graves
had they not taken Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. 1t is depended upon as a
family medice. and a general regu-
lator of the system by tens of
thousands of people. Now these
facts simply prove the Importance
of having pure blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla makes the blood pure.
THIS Is THE SECRET
of its great success, and it's un-
equaled record of cures is due to
the fact that no other medicine has
ever equaled it in this respect. 1t
gives to the blood richness and vi
tality and enables it to carry on it's
work Of giving nourishment to the
organs of the body. When this
is done the cure is already begun.
The stomach is toned and strength
ened, appetite is restored, food
ceases to cause distress, sores are
healed, eruptions disappear, and
there is a new feeling of returning
strength and vigor.
All this happens because the
blood is enriched and purified.
Therefore keep the blood pure. 1t
may be done with Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and experience proves that
no other preparation equals Hoods
Sarsaparilla in blood purifying
power. Experience proves that
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures when
