It Stands for Equal Justice and Good
Order.
Mr.. Bryan performed both patriotic
and political duty in calling attention
in recent speech to the democratic
position on the great questions which
are now fretting labor and causing
needless alarm in some unusually calm
minds.
After pointing out that the party took
strong ground in its last national plat
form against the too free and hasty use
of the restraining power by the courts,
Mr.. Bryan said: Those who have sug-
gested the burning of property and the
destruction of life as a means of settling
labor disputes do not understand the
genius of our institutions. The Ameri-
can pople are law-abiding. When the
laws are bad they change the laws"
In this observation the Nebraskan
gave expression to the conservative force
which is guarantee of the perpetuity
of American institutions. That unfor-
tunate class of persons who see danger
to these institutions in the acts of
judges who may interpret the laws un-
justly or in the errors of other officers
NAO may AAAShSS bASAA PcNCAs
as Mr.. Bryan says, a lack of understand
ing of the spirit and active force of our
governmental machinery.
The ballot is in the hand of every
American citizen above the age of 81
years. He can use it to correct every
abuse of power and every injustice inn
posed by the strong upon the weak.
If it be government by injunction"
to which he objects he can say so at the
polls. If enough people agree that his
objection is well founded, the cause of
complaint will be soon removed. The
party doctrine on this question was in
tended to emphasize the fact that this
is a government of the people and that
they have not only the right but also
the power to apply the remedy to any
wrong use made of their machine by
those intrusted with its management.
The declaration is only in line with the
contentious and teachings of democracy
from the days of Jefferson. There is no
anarchy in democracy. There is moth
ing in its traditions or in its creed which
counsels violence for the correction of
public or private wrong. There is moth
ing but equal justice and good order in
democracy, and those who interpret its
character in any other way do not un-
derstand the genius of the party of JEFF
ferson and Jackson.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

winding Up of an EnEIishman.

1t was a shrewd observation of one
of the keenest critics of the Anglo
Saxon mind that ever lived, Cardinal
Newman, that it takes an immense time
to wind up an Englishman to the level
of dogma-that is to say, to get him
20 understand what a dogma is. what it
involves, what it necessarily asserts, and
what it unavoidably denies. Often
when, after great toll, with pulleys and
hoists, encouragements in front and
goads behind, the Englishman's bullet
head slowly appears almost on the level
of the ground, something goes wrong
somewhere, and down he falls to the
very bottom of the pit, and the work
of winding him up has to be begun all
over again.-''The Law of Employers" J."

Heap kyuse," was the boys reply,
and they understood. 1t was not the
lone rider, but a band of Sioux bent
upon mischief.
Little Kyuse seized his rife, slipped
out, and the two men followed him. To
guard against surprises of this sort
Whipsaw had dug short trenches, deep
enough to hide a man, all about the
cabin, and now, to his surprise, Little
Kyuse planted himself in one of these
holes. Without a word the two men
took places, one to the right, the other
to the left of the boy, and waited. When
the robbers had reached little sag in
the desert, some 500 yards from the sta
ton, they dismounted, and now came
creeping upon the lonely cabin. One
came crouching so close to Whipsaw
that he could almost have reached him
with his rife barrel. The trapper was
sore afraid that the boy or Bob might
open fire, for how was this child to
know that he was waiting for the band
to assemble near the cabin door before
attacking them? But Little Kyuse was
as wise in his first fight as a white man
would be at 81. The clouds were
breaking, and in the starlight they
could see the Sioux, six of them, near
the cabin door. They listened-one of
them pushed the door open. Now an
Indian went in, came out moment
later, and they all filed in at the very
moment that Whipsaw was about to
open fire. Instantly he changed his
plan. They would charge on the cabin
Sol he iah
numbered them, even counting the boy,
two to one. Without a word Whipsaw
got to his feet, and instantly his COM
panions were at his side.
Bob held his rife, the trapper laid his
upon the ground and held a siX-shot re-
voIver in each hand. 1t was to be close
and rapid fighting; he would empty his
six-shoOters and after that the knife.
Little Kyuse grasped his rifle with IA
shots in the magazine, and he knew how
TO work it, too. There was no word of
command, but as Whipsaw leaned for
ward they all started double quick for
the cabin. Ten PAGES from the door
they stopped, the boy still sandwiched
between the men. The Sioux must have
heard them, for now they came pour
ing out. Before they had gained the
open air the little party opened fire.
Two of the Indians fell, and the others
returned the fire, but with bad aim.
Another round from the white men and
two more Sioux bit the dust. Bob was
pumping his rife when a ball from the
cabin door shattered his right shoulder.
Dropping his gun he pulled his six
shooter and continued to fight. Hav-
ing emptied both of his reSolvers, Whip
saw slammed one of them into the face
of Sioux, who came for him with a
knife. The two men began fighting
hand to hand now, while Little Kyuse
kept pumping small shot into the other
remaining Sioux. Seeing Whipsaw
hard pressed, the boy began to watch

suLTAN's WIVES BATHING.

How They Take Their Only Amuse~
ment Described by n Woman.
It has remained for a German news
paper woman to penetrate into the mys-
teries of the sultan's harem. For the
first time an outsider has entered the
baths attached to the imperial harem.
The newspaper woman is Adele Stern.
How she managed to get into the sacred
precincts of the baths she does not say
in her account, but she gives very in
teresting description of their interior.
This is what she says:
''The bath is for the Turkish women
what the theater and concerts and balls
are for the European. It is the only
recreation and amusement the poor
creatures have.
upon entering the first apartment
was struck at once with the oriental
splendor of the room. The place is used
as a disrobing chamber. When I en-
tered was greeted by the shrill chatter
of half a dozen of the suHtan's wives or
concubines. They smoked, rouged their
cheeks, nursed their babies, and talked
as only Turkish women can.
"a sort of chaperone sits on a little
dais. She takes change of the imperial
jewels and trinkets. She is pleasant
faced woman, and everybody who enters
she greets with 'Guleh, guieh, gelrinis,
come back smiling
along the walls are low settees. In
the middle of the room stands mag
nificent Turkish clock. Near by is a
mangel, an open metallic stove, from
which comes daintily perfumed heat.
On the top is big bronze pot, in which
delicious mocha is being brewed. At
every other step is sort of cradle in
which rest from one to three children.
THE cradles are marvels of simplic-
ity They consist of pillow which is
suspended at each end by rope, the
ends of the ropes being fastened to con-
venient pillars. The children are placed
on the pillow and tied to it by means of
silken scarfs. There they sleep while
their respective mothers gossip and
bathe.
"The dolce far niente of Turkish fe-
male life can nowhere be better studied
than in bath. The women of the
harem enter the bath early in the morn
ing and spend from an hour to the
whole day here.
"And now to the bath itself. It is
veritable fairyland. The soft, damp air;
the white marble, the perfumed steam.
all help the illusion of being in some
Mike land. Right before me, splashing
in the water, are two nymphs. They are
superbly beautiful young girls. Their
immense black eyes glance sadly at me
from beneath mass of raven black
hair. Their forms are exquisite, white
as the alabaster surrounding them, and
with skin as soft as the richest velvet.
''At this moment am accosted by an
elderly woman, whose arms are mus
cular in the extreme.
'Mascallah!" she cries. Translated,
this means: oh, thou wonder of God!'
Just why she considers me in this light
! do not know. Without more ceremony
she takes me, plunges me into the wa.
ter, rinses me, soaps me, and finally
places me fiat on the stone couch. Then
begins the massage.

Fight for a Trees Life.

The Oldest tree in the great botanical
garden, the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris,
is an acacia, planted 23o years ago. This
tree is covered with wrinkles of old
age" and supported on 'crutehes." It
has, with difficulty, withstood recent
tempests. Its wounds have been GOV.
cred with plasters, and its failing trunk
and branches bound and stiffened with
rods and braces. A determined effort is
being made to save its life, and much
qualification is expressed because it has,
this season, once more put forth leaves.
But the managers of the garden have
posted bulletin announcing that an.
other tempest viii be likely to end the
old trees career.-La Nature.

for a chance to use his little rifle. Bob
succeeded at last in stopping his man,
and then fell weak from loss of blood.
Whipsaw had been shot and badly cut,
when his antagonist paused to get ad-
| vantage. Instantly Little Kyuse
showed his rife as near the SiouX's left
side as he could get it and pulled the
trigger, and the big, bad Indian sank in
a heap.
Thus did Little Kyuse reward the
white trapper for his tender care and
avenge the death of his father and
mother, who had been killed by his cap
tor, the Sioux.
In the sag not far away they found
the horses that the robbers had ridden
and the express pony, with the pouch
still on the saddle, standing in bunch
their brides tied together.
About a mile up the trail they found
the body of the rider, stiff and cold
with a bullet hole in his head, and car
ried him back and buried him, and there
wouldn't have been a soul at the funeral
only for Little Kyuse.
The next day, when they were cache
ing tne cdEcdSSeS VI the ueau InulanS.
Little Kyuse shocked and surprised the
white men by constantly clubbing and
kicking the corpses. OF sudden he
gave yell and seized his rife, and be-
gan emptying it into cae of the dead
Indians. Whipsaw took the gun away
from him.
See! See." cried the boy, pointing
at the Sioux, and the trapper recog-
nized in the object of the boys wrath
the hideous features of the scar-faced
Sioux who had sold the child at whose
hands he had, in his own good time,
been taken off.-N. Y. Sun.
