Mr.. William Walpo1e, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes: "About three years
ago, there came under my left eye little
blotch about the size of small pea. 1t
grew rapidly, and shooting pains ran in
every direction. l became alarmed and
consulted good doctor, who pronounced
it cancer, and said that it must be cut out.
This would not consent to, having little
faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife.
Reading of the many cures made by 5. 5.
S., I determined to give that medicine
trial and after ] had taken it few days,
the cancer became irritated and began to
discharge. This after awhile ceased, leav-
ing a small scab, which finally dropped
of, and only healthy little scar remains
to mark the place where the destroyer had
held full sway.

The Philadelphia Press says
"To say that the last Legislature

insult to the people; it is as much
as to declare that the people APP.
prove of padded pay rolls through
which personal political retainers

The last Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania fairly represented the Re
publican party of Pennsylvania
under Quay, and the Press only
squeals when it finds the people
are in revolt against such corrupt
gang as has long headed the party
in that State. 1t is not conscience
stricken, as that paper would have

Gives 1t Up.

Hon. Wharton Barker, who made such
a heroic effort to dignity the middle-of-
the road faction as the Populist party,
and was chief engineer in the movement
that eliminated in a call for national
convention to assemble at Cincinnati
September 5th, when and where nomina-
tons should be made for President and
Vice President under the name of the
Peoples party, gives up the scheme as a
hopeless movement. He has heard from
the middle-of-the-road leaders, whose
sober second thought told them that such
a movement was preposterous. Mr..
Barker's good sense and broad experience
of political affairs should have enabled
him to see so plain matter from the very
start, but it appears he could not.
He and other earnest Populists, whose
zeal blinded their Judgment, overlooked
the fact that the position the Populist
party took in the campaign of 1896 must
be sustained till its results are worke
out, and that no new alignment is possible
till then. 1t was a great mistake to fall
into that Watson and few hot headed
former leaders represented the sober sense
of the Populist party. They were and
are to the Peoples party what the gold
Democrats are to the Chicago platform
Democratic party
At the Chicago convention the Demo
cratic party in its national capacity drove
out its false leaders and adopted plat
form composed in all of its essential
features of Populist principles. The con-
vention went back and declared anew for
the theory of popular government and
against the money oligarchy as the
controlling power in American govern,
ment. They did not make a platform
embodying all OF the Populist principles,
and they did not deny any of them. They
adopted the main plank of the Populist
platform and nominated for President a
Populist who had voted for Weaver The
Peoples party could do no more that is
for the present practicable.
The compact of 1896 is still in exist
ence. The Democratic party has not
repudiated it. The party has not had all
opportunity to carry it out by embodying
ing it in law. Some of the old profess
sional boodlcrs, such as German and
Tammany, have shown their old inclina-
ton to straddle and dodge, but the mass
of the party and the strong men in Con-
gress have upheld the principle which is
the browning one of the Populist organ
ization, the money principle. Through
this gate must pass the army of the people.
If the Democratic party desert this the
Populist party can call their armies to
rally to their standard If the Demo
cratic party pushes the fight on this line
and wins it is victory for Populist prin-
ciples and the people. Then if new align
ments become necessary they can be
made divest of all confusion. Such is not
the case under present conditions. The
congressional elections this fall will make
clearer the political atmosphere.
The midroaders have made the common
mistake of politicians, that party name
is greater than party principles A wise
reformer will assist any party that will
adopt the principle lie contends for TO win
that principle.

The Cuba Campaign.

The inexcusable laundering on the part
of the administration at the outbreak OF
the war is becoming more and more
apparent every day. Havana could have
readily been captured the first week OF
the war. The place was we'll nigh de-
fenseless then as compared to the defenses
which have been erected around the city
since, which are now, it is conceded, ten
times as strong as then. For two months
Havana has been entirely unmolested, a
state of perfect peace and quiet reigning
there, which had not existed for three
years before
Blanco assures the government at
Madrid that he can hold the place indef-
initely. This is Spain's principal strong
hold in the western world, and within one
hundred miles of the American coast 1t
is no wonder that Blanco's dispatches
encourage Madrid and give the Spanish
hope. The capture of Havana would have
meant the capture of the whole island of
Cuba. Now it's ten times more difficult
to take, but it must be done before the
war i'll Cuba is ended.
The paper fleets of Spain were a con-
slant terror at Washington and led to the
wholly needless campaign at Santiago, the
easiest place to:defend in all of Cuba and
one of the least useful from a military
view, of any harbor on the island.
Santiago has now fallen at great cost OF
American life and limb, and Havana will
be left to starve out, because Spain is too
weak to relieve it or any other position
which remains in her temporary control
outside the Spanish peninsula. The
heroism and dash of our soldiers is worthy
of all praise. but the Cuban campaign will
be written down by future military critics
as an immense military blunder The
overwhelming power of the United States
pitted against that of decrepit Spain was
and is bound to succeed under whatever
adverse conditions that prevail, either
resulting from natural causes or incom-
potency on lepart ofstrategists so-called.

The Gin rlill in EIkton.

The Cecil Democrat is battling siren
uously for the whiskey party aud licens-
ing gin mills. Its defense of the drunk
ard making business is uphill work and
the articles compare we'll with Toral's
famous letter to Shafter. But the posi-
ton the Democrat is in is about as hard
t. defend as Santiago.
The Democrat does not deny that
drunkard making is about the worst bus
mess that can be entered into, but some
how-but not quite cleaf-it ought to be
assisted by law if it isn't entirely broken
up by law.
The liquor traffic is bad from business
standpoint. 1t is bad for society. 1t is
bad for the community where it exists.
1t is disreputable to all who engage i'll it,
on the speakeasy plan, and for the county
TO take license bride in order to help
give the business a glamor of respec-
liability would be still more disgraceful.
The gin mill is dirty business to ell
gage in with or without license, a.d it's a
dirty business to advocate whether by
licensing or without license. The negroes
of Back street in Elkton are the principal
speakeasy offenders The Elkton author
tiles can break up the speakeasies if they
will try. A couple of genteel appearing
grog shops with cut class decanters and
mirrors would give galvenizing sort OF
gentility to drunkard making but would
not diminish a single speakeasy, for the
slum keepers of the latter would buy by
the jug full from the hotels and sell it in
the slums. They wouldn't have to go to
Newark; that is all.

rlust Choose Sides.

Goldbug papers are proclaiming the
death Of the free coinage of silver, but
statesmen, philosophers and patriots de-
clare free coinage the paramount issue.
The Democratic professional politicians
of Maryland are luffing and filling to keep
clear of declaring that is the paramount
issue of the party, but they may as well
make up. their minds they must choose
between bold, clear declaration and
political death.
The Republican party leaders lodged
for years the gold standard question and
made pretense that they were all in hearty
sympathy with the reconciliation of sill
yer, because they knew the masses were.
They qualified their declaration with
when Great Britain and continental
nations agreed to open their minis. This
was tub thrown the whale, the great
American masses. and was an ackuowl-
edgment that silver was the paramount
issue among the masses whom they
dared not risk too rudely offending.
Even as late as the Presidential CAM
paign of 1896 the Republican party was
afraid to declare unequivocally for gold,
and put all International silver clause in
their platform which they used to hold
the Western element i'll the party.
Since then the Rothschild gold power
has forced the party to drop silver entirely
and declare for gold. There is no longer
chance to hoodoo their party with
international binetallism." The gold
ring has broken the bridge behind them
The leaders of the Democratic party in
Maryland are initiating the Republican:
in playing fast and loose with the money
question. In their county and State
campaigns they are using local issues,
and avoiding any mention of nationa
questions. This policy is a rope of sant
and will result in the party's final defeat
German persisted i'll it till it laid him OF
the shelf, and it will continue to defea
his followers till they are sick it.
III September the congressional nom
nations are to be made and if the ole
German on-the-fence policy is pursued
every one of them will be defeated as they
will deserve to be. Vandiver has sait
as much in all interview that he expects
such result, and he is Germans shadow
This class of Doodle politicians want tc
get back the gold Democrats, and through
their assistance campaign Doodle. If the,
can troll this element back they lose two
reform and silver votes to every gold gud
geon they hook, and the Republican,
will keep enough Doodle in their owl
hands to out bid the Democratic lieu
tenants.
The long and short of it all is the Dem
ocratic party must come out, without any
DISCUSSES or lodging, fairly and squarely
on the money question, and at presen
the reconciliation of silver is the heart o
that question. The Republicans shut
fled and cut on it as long as they coule
but are now solid for the gold side. The
Democratic party cannot longer be on the
Republican gold side and the Populis
silver side without falling between the
two chairs.

Why England Wants the Gold STAN
dard and the United States
Does Not.

England buys from the United States
over $500, ooo, 900 of our products, mostly
farm products, and sells to us about
Soc, 200, 900 of their products. The Eng
lish people want to buy those products as
cheaply as possible, and gold standard
means low prices, because it is intended
to make money i'll circulation scarce.
England in a business sense is wise in
desiring gold standard because she car
buy cheap goods under it. Our people
especially our farmers-are foolish be
cause they are compelled to sell theil
products cheap under it.

looking longngly up into his honest blue

MATTER OF FACT.
He Thought the Poor Girl Needed q
Change from "the Style to Which
She Had Been Accustomed"

He is a young man whose unbounded as
surance has ever been his chief character
istic.
When he proceeded to talk to the practical
old gentleman about marrying his daughter
he was evidently prepared for the usual
question:
s"Do you think you can support my daugh-
ter in the style to which she has been ac-
customed?"
The parent spoke this phrase with the air
Of man who thinks he has uttered poser.

you think your daughter is qualified to make
man good wife,"
Eyes, sir. Her mother and ! are both
practical people and we have given her a
practical education. She can not only read
Greek and play the piano-she practices
three hours day-but she can get good
dinner and make her purchases in market
as intelligently as an experienced steward.
Moreover, her abilities with the needle are

understahdings about her future"

A MODEL COW STALL.
Method of Fastening Which Allows
Much Freedom and Yet Confines
the Cow Securely.

The stall which, in my experience,
has the greatest number of good points
is a modification of the rigid stanchion.
1t is merely small stanchion hung,
at top and bottom on small links OF
strong chain. 1t is Yankee inven-
ton and, like many others of the same
kind, good one. This method of fas-
tening allows much freedom to the
COW and yet confines her enough to al
low of use in large stables. There is no
weight ON the cows neck; she can
turn her head and lick herself as well
as if in the pasture, and yet with all
this freedom she keeps clean if prop
erly bedded. i' @V @'4
And in all stalls there should be a
partition between the cows. This is
