Something Should lie Done.


There ought to be a conference, II not a
national convention, Of the friends of man
and silver. Now or never is the time to
pour forth a ringing and reverberant protest
against the Infamous intrigues of the money
power. Wheat, up, up; silver, down, down.
Now, either wheat is as guilty as gold or
the accursed cohorts of Wall street are pull
ing up wheat with one hand and pulling
down silver with the other. The friends
of silver who wish well to wheat should do
something to maintain the character of the
latter staple. 1t is clear that if wheat
continues to play into the hands of the
money sharks it's character will be gone.
1t is becoming plutocratic by regrettably
rapid degrees. Cannot something be done
to reclaim and save 1t? If it keeps on 60
ing up, it must be. yoked in dishonor with
man-oppressing gold, lined together in the
house of bondage with it, as Captain Gut
tie would say. The farmers themselves
would be corrupted and will be plutocratic
allies Of the plutocrats. If the friends of
humanity and silver don't awake, arise. and
say a good deal in clarion tones there is
only too much reason to fear that the moral
status Of wheat and the pecuniary status
OF the farmers will be established in a way
that will make oetopuses giggle.

make out that they have a second Dart

That sounds very nicely, but the Dart

a great many years ago and the best
lawyers in the country cannot say how
far it is held to apply under present
state constitutions and statutes. The

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.
1t is a somewhat remarkable feature of
the financial situation that there is n
pessimistic feeling abroad in regard to
American securities, as indicated in the
fact that foreign holders of these sccuri-
ties are realizing on them as rapidly rs
possible. In view of the fact that our
securities have steadily improved in
value for some time past and that The
conditions are favorable to their cor
tinued improvement, it would seem that
European investors would be seeking
them instead of unloading and hence
their course, implying a lack of conf
dence, is difficult to understand. or
course one explanation is to be found
in their desire to realize the advance,
but this is hardly adequate or satiSfac-
tory, since the effect of throwing these
securities on the market Is necessarily
to reduce their value, whereas holding
them and buying more would have the
opposite result. 1t would seem, there
fore, that in the natural curse of things
foreign holders of American securities
would keep them and increase their
holdings, If they have confidence in the
coming prosperity of this country End in
the stability of our financial system.
The inevitable inference is that they
have not this confidence, at least so far
as the financial system is concerned.
The fact is noted that the English
papers, which reflect European financial
sentiment, have been filled with unfa-
yorable comments regarding the failure
of the senate to pass the currency COM
mission bill, evidently under the impress
sion that this was meant to be a deciara-
ton against any change in the currency
system. 1t is not difficult to understand
that foreign financiers may attach a
great deal more Importance to a cur
rency commission than is given ii In this
country, but 1t is not easy to comprehend
why the failure OF the senate to agree
to such n commission in the closing
hours of a congressional session should
cause distrust In face of the act that we
have an administration fully pledged to

The declarations of Emperor Nicholas
of Russia and Emperor William Of Ger
many, in which they pledged themselves
to cooperate for the maintenance of the
peace of Europe. cannOt fail to have Il
most r%eassuring effect. The significance
of these deliverances of the two rulers
who are most potent in the affairs of
continental Europe cannot be overesti-
mated. Although made at a banquet
table, they have all the meaning and
force of Il deliberate proclamation on the
part of the governments represented by
these sovereigns and will be SO regarded
not only by their own people, but by the
people of all Europe. 1t was to all in
tents and purposes the announcement of
an alliance between the two empires for
the preservation of peace and there is
no reason to doubt the absolute sincerity
of the utterances of ear and kaiser.
With Germany and Russia united in
the determination that there shall be no
European war there is extremely little
danger of such a catastrophe. No COM
bination of continental powers could pre-
vail against the joint efforts of these
great nations to maintain peace, even II
it be admitted to be possible to form a
combination hostile to their will. The
declarations of the two emperOrs are at
once an assurance and an admonltlo
and they are particularly timely as a
warning to Turkey that she will not be
permitted to provoke a European con
fict. 1t is by no means improbable that
both Nicholas and William had the
Turkish situation in mind when they de-
clared their purpose to maintain the gen.
eral peace.
The world will think better of both
emperors for these ~utterances, which
will exert a wholesome influence
throughout Europe and have a good ten
dency everywhere.

Employment In the Harvest Fields.
ThiCoyo Chronicle.

The mighty harvests of the west are tax
ing the efforts of the farmers to gather
them in, and in Kansas and Nebraska they
are making daily appeals FOR aid. Living
wages are offered and board thrown in, and
yet help cannot be had at any price. Both
states report that they are overrun with
tramps, who say they are men out of work.
They throng the city jails, they sleep in
the parks, they even hold up railway trains,
and protest that they are starving, but they
will not work. In all the cities of those
states are hundreds of men who are unem-
ployed. Some of them are being cared for
by the charity organizations. The cities
are taking care of others. The farmers are
advertising in the daily newspapers for help
to garner their harvests. The employment
bureaus post notices showing that work
may be had in the fields. These appeals
are almost unheeded. The city's unem-
ployed ecorn to take work in the country.

II OF A KIND.
State Convention of the Ne

~ . gu q t''t' 1880
There is to be a three-ringed circus of
democrats, populists and silver republicans
at Lincoln, Neb., about September l, which
will eclipse all previous attractions of the
season in brilliancy, moral splendor and great
acrobatic feats. On that date, to change the
metaphor, there will be more silver stars in
conjunction in the sign of Pisces the Fish
than there have been at any time since No
vember 3, 1896, when the triumphant rising
of the sound money sun- caused them to
scatter in a most unastronomical manner.
At this great and glorious festival there Will
be present Messrs. Bryan, Teller and Towne
in all their silver sheen, besides many minor
glories whose combined refulgence will be
blended in a sort of a milky way, trailing it's
pale beauty across the zenith of Nebraska
state politics. Three conventions will be
held, and each of these will nominate the
same ticket. At least this is the program,
though we can't help remembering that there
were two tails to the Bryan comet last year,
and 1t isn't impossible that there may be three
heads to the Nebraska rocket this year. But

CRoMWELL's WART.

Cai1yle's Anxiety To Have The En-
graver Put 1t In The Right Place.
A curious bit of bother is brought
forward in a recent tale told of the en-
craving of a mark of Cromwell This
mark, which had a clear history of a
hundred years at least, was in the pos
session of Mr.. Woolner, the London en-
graver, and was believed to be the
genuine mask of the Lord Protector.
Carlyle was DESTROYS that this Woolner
mask be engraved for the final edition
of the Cromwell Letters'' and the tale
is that the mask was taken one day to
Carlyle in Cheyne Row, and there the
old Elucidator of Letters, slowly rails
ing his right hand to his skull cap, lift
ed 1t and stood bareheaded in a reyer-
entail attitude In the presence of the
sacred relic. But on examining it, 10.
it was found that Cromwell's historic
Wart, familiar in the paintings by
Cooper and Sir Peter Lely was missing
from the right brow There We're, how
ever, several spots indicating where 1t
might have been. Mr. Carlyle chose
one place, Mr.. Woolner another, and
Mr.. Anderson anotehr, which was sup
posed to be the right one. The trouble.
however was not yet ended. Mr. An
derson happened in earlier years to
have made a. drawing of a Cromwell
mask, which had satisfied Mr. Ruskin,

Disease makes man just as helpless
as if he were tied with ropes. Weary
lassitude makes his muscles useless-slug-
gish circulation of impure blood fills his
brain with useless clogging matter. Eff
fort is distasteful and brings scant results.
The trouble usually starts with the diges-
ton. Too much brain work takes needed
blood from stomach to head and retards
the stoinachs work. The body is not
fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes
a stranger. Loss of appetite is followed
by loss of fes1l-and all for the want of
the right medicine at the right time. Dir.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is for
the man who is losing flesh and vitality.
1t is for the man whose digestion needs
help and whose nerves and brain are
overworked. 1t is the greatest Of all
tonics. No matter what seems to be your
trouble, the Golden Medical Discovery"
will cure it. 1t cures by making the
blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur
nishing food for nerves and brain. Moth
ing has ever been found to equal it, but
dishonest druggists sometimes try to
make you believe that something more
profitable to them is just as good" Do
not be deceived. Get what you ask for.
Constipation if neglected brings with it a train
Of naladies that unfit the sufferer for either the

The Latest Scientific knowledge
on Food and Dire StiOn.

The real cause of most of our diseases
is simply an inability to digest food.
This Induces thinness, weakness, loss
of flesh and rat, loss of vitality, vast
ing away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means con-
slant liability to sickness. Wasting
away is consumption.
If getting thin is what ails you, there
is only one thing to do to get fat.
The only way to do it is to take some
thing which will help your stomach
and stimulate it to do its work.
If you are tired out you do not like
to move your legs and arms. If your
stomach Is tired it does not like to d.
gest; it cannot do its work.
To eat, or even to eat with relish,
does not necessarily mean that one is
being nourished, Strength, vitality
and flesh are the true indications.
Getting thin is a sign that you need
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. You
would not be getting thin if you could
digest your food
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not on
ly contains artificially digested food,
but it will digest other foods in the
stomach.
A single Decent bottle will show
whether or not it is going to meet the
conditions of your case and, if so, It's
continued use may be depended on to
effect cure. All druggists keep it in
stock
