During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and mer.
chants of Clay, Clay Co., w. Va, struck
his leg against a cake of ice in such a
manner as to bruise it severely. 1t be-
came very much swollen and panied him
so badly that he could not walk without
the aid of crutches. He was treated by
physicians, also used several kinds of lin
iment and two and half gallons OF
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing gave
any relief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought almost a
complete cure in weeks time and he
believes that had he not used this remedy
his leg would have had to be amputated.
Pain Balm is unequaled for sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale by E.
T. Reynolds, druggist.

The Dollar Above the Man.

If you Republicans want to get good
view of the change that has taken place
in the Republican party place the heroic
figure of your martyred President, Lin
coin, at one end of the Republican party
and the present chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee, Marc Hanna,
at the other end and look at the toboggan
slide that leads to the bottom.
I repeat that today the Republican
party has reversed the doctrine of Lin
coin, and that today in the eyes of the
Republican leaders the dollar comes first
and the man afterwards, if at all.-W. J..
BRYAN.

PlutOcrat.

A man is not plutocrat merely be-
cause he is rich; nor is it necessary to be
rich in order to be plutocrat.
Plutocracy is a government in which
wealth is the governing power. That is
the meaning of plutocracy-goverment
by wealth.
A man is plutocrat who supports and
advocates government in which wealth
is the governing power.
According to the above definition the
United States is dangerously close to a
plutocracy. And there are thousand
poor plutocrats to every rich one to be
met with on our streets.
The question does not turn on mans
possessions, but OH the plan of govern
ment he advocates and supports.

Democrats who were befogged with the
Cleveland fasco, tariff REFORM" have
not yet collected their senses, and con-
tiBue to believe-or try to-that repeal of
the tariff laws would be a panacea for
about every evil of nlisgovernment. Even
our astute Cecil Democrat, which cham
pioned the whiskey cause and is sponsor
for the goldbug fraud, continues in the
ancient faith of the Stuffed Prophet and
says :-"Knock the shackles off of trade
by sweeping away protective tariff laws,
and trusts will crumble and disappear"
A repeal of some of the prohibitive
duties would doubtless help to weaken
some of the trusts, such as the tin and
steel rail trust, but it would not touch the
greatest of trusts. The natural lnonop-
olies, the sugar trust, TIE Standard Oil
trust, the International money trust-this
class of trusts are all indepedent of tariff
laws. They require other remedies

Macarthur and General Lawton are
closing in on Tarlac. Communication
with distant points is impossible except
by means of the government WIRE
which is crowded with official Dusl-
ness.
General Macarthur took Bamban
yesterday. This is supposed 10 be the
strongest position held by the Filiplnos
except Tarlac. The brief OF
the engagement received indicate that
the rebels fought according to tier re-
cent tactics, %retreating after firing a
few volleys.
one officer of the T~hirty-sixth regi-
meut is the only American reported
killed. General Macarthur began his
advance at daylight. Colonel Smith,
with the Seventeenth regiment on the
right, Major Bells command and the
Thirty-siNth on the left, and the Ninth
i'll the enter. Colonel Smith encOun-
tered n small force at q o'clock, easily
dispensing the rebels.
Major Bell secured a position on the
mountain. from which he poured an
enfilading fire from rifles and Hotch-
kiss guns on the line of the enemy.
The FilipinOs stood the fire for twenty
minutes and then retreated to the
mountains. General Macarthur enter
ed Bambnn at 10 O'Clock and Colonel
Smith occupied Capas, the first town
beyond.
General Lawton's headquarters are
still at Cabanatuan.
The Americans are continuing their
advance so rapidly that the insurgents
have not the time necessary to destroy
the railroad.
Aguinaldo. the elusive chief of the
Filipino rebels, has succeeded again in
escaping from the American forces
sent against him. General WhCaton's
division had landed at Lingayen, to
move south, while Generals Lawton
and Young moved north from Angeles,
the plan being to crush AguinaldO, who
was supposed to be at Bayambang,
near LingayCn, between the two forces,
But the rebel slipped away into the
mountains. Lawton's troops reached
Tarlac yesterday, the commander be-
ing at Cabanatuan, while Young is
moving from Mabalacot.

one day received n call from an aged
Buddhist. He was 90 years old and
very decrepit and almost blind. Like
all others of his religion he looked for
n reincarnation in another body, after
he died. according to his merits, and
this is his list of merits as he told it
to the missionary: 81 have climbed
Adams Peak twenty-six times; | have
visited the Temple of the Tooth seven
times; l have caused several Buddhist
books to be copied and given to the
priests, II l have never killed an
animal. except n few fish that l
caught. So you see | have plenty of
merit, II shall be born well in my
next life" This old man had not done
good to any human being, and his
faith appeared to be mostly faith in
himself. Ceremonial religion furnish
es few examples more characteristic
or more hopeless.
