But are the farmers so wonder

would have the people believe?
Compare the slight advance in

to pay the protected trusts for
almost every article they buy.

Where, then, has the farmer
reason for thanking Mckinley:

that Mckinley did bring the sun.
shine and the rains which gave
him abundant crops, he must
know that the policy Of the repub.
lican party has been to enact
legislation which shut out the
farmer Of the country from the
benefits of competition. He is
not blind to the fact that the re-
publican party has forced him to
submit to wholesale robbery from
the protected manufacturers and
from even more merciless pillage
at the hands of the trusts, which
are the direct progeny of protec-
ton, of which William Mex inley
is the high priest, and Mark
Hanna the patron, friend and
beneficiary.

.AN OPEN ISSUE.

At Chicago OH Monday of last
week Bryan took issue with Presi-
dent McKinley's declaration, made
1T Minneapolis that the United
States ought to retain the Philip
pine Islands. He charged the
president with having repudiated
the source of government as de-
scribed IN the Declaration of In
dependence. The presidents re-
cent speech at Minneapolis, said
Bryan, marked an epoch in history.
He characterizes it as the first
address ever made by an Ameri-
can president that repudiated the
people as the origin of government.
He says: president Mckinley,
in his speech at Minneapolis,
stated that he believed the United
States should permanently retain
the Philippine Islands, and in the
course of that speech he repudiat-
ed the source of government as
described in the Declaration of
Independence. Near the close of
this part of the address this
sentence occurs: Il feel assured
that congress will provide for
them (meaning the Philippine
Islands), government which will
bring them blessings, which will
promote their material interests
as we'll as advance their people in
the paths of civilization and in
telligence.'
eff we change the word Con-
gress to Parliament, and Philip
pines to Colonies, the reconstruct
ed sentence would exactly express
the sentiments Of King George in
revolutionary days. Again if we
the word Cortes for
Congress, and che word Cuba for
Philippines, that sentence would
express the sentiment of the
Spanish monarch when we inter
fered to put An end to centuries of
and tyranny.
every king, every emperor,
every despot confidently believes
that he and his government will
provide for his subjects govern
ment that will bring them bless
ings, promote their material in
terests and advance them in the
paths of civilization and intel
ligence.''
"Most of the kings, emperors
and despots have asserted that
they feel under divine obligation
to provide for the blessings, etc.,
of their subjects. The Declara-
ton Of Independence, however,
asserts that the people need not
depend upon the benevolence of a
foreign king, emperor or despot,
and it might have added congress
or the president, for the blessings
Of good government.
Governments derive their Just
power from the consent of the
and from no other source.
The presidents speech marks an
epoch in history. It is the first
ever made by an American presi-
dent that repudiates the people as
the source of government.
in this abandonment of
the principles Of the Declaration
Of Independence, he voices the
sentiments Of the American people
remain to be seen. AS he says,
congress is the servant of the
people. If congress attempts to
to repeal the Declaration of In
dependence, the people will have
a chance to commend or repudiate
its action in 1900.

WONDERFUL cEYsER AT WORK
mia spouter That Throws Water
 800 Feet In the Air.


 From the Scientific American: The people of southern California have re- gently been favored with one of the most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on record-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes of a community fa- miliar already with instances of what nature can accomplish when it sets out to do something out of the common. Southern Californians are so used to shocks of earthquakes, ineipient yolca- nces, or threatened tidal waves that it takes something extremely eruptive to C. .r'I their ordinary eomposure, but i.s SIC ssful effort of rural rancher is. l.is 2earch for water with which to l5 e his fields, parehed with long dicrsh, has turned the gaze of the whcle state toward the little town of Whittier,a hamlet located in the neigh borhood Of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago farmer named Myers, living at Santa Fe Springs, began sinking an ar tesian well. Others in the neighborhood
 
 flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet, and MT. Myers hoped for a successful issue to his enterprise By slow stages the drills descended until a depth of 300 feet was attained. This was on Sun- day, May IA A drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping a good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. A ten-inch pipe had been sunk some dis tance, and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make. it's expected appearance. The heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when, after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, aeeompa- nied by jets of muddy water and out drill itself made it's appearance, foii- lowed by a grand column of water, which forced itself higher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 800 feet. The flow was accompanied by vast quantities Of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied, burning with q strong blue flame. Oil in considerable quan- titles was mixed with the flow The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was. appalling to the last degree. No geyser Of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity. The column of muddy water was like great pillar, extending almost to the clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ex- erted was equal to thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active, though some diminution of the force exerted Is be- ginning to be apparent. The flow of water is enormous. and, the country being fiat, some difficulty is appre- hended in it's control.

CONVICT ISLAND.
Where the Worst Type of Criminals
 Have a Chance for Reform.


 Since 1858 the Andamans, a group of thickly wooded islands toward the east side of the Bay Of Bengal, have been used by the Indian government as penal settlement for life convicts. There are about 12,000 conviets In the settlement at Port Blair, which is conducted as a practical reformatory for the reform of the criminals. Every convict knows that his treatment de- pends (after a certain preliminary pe riod of severe discipline) entirely on himself He also knows that good be- havior will Of itself commute the life sentence to one of twenty years. A large number of the convicts are men respited from death sentences. The newly arrived convict is placed in the cellular gaol, where he is solitary alike in his cell and during his daily walk around the ring for exercise. At the end Of six months he is transferred for where he 1abors in a gang during the day and sleeps in a separate cubicle at night For the next three years he is locked up in barracks at night with prisoners of the same class and kept hard at work all day. After this pe- riod the severity is eased down, the tasks are not so irksome and his ca pacity is studied in the employment given to him and he begins to earn 8 small allowance which he can either spend on little luxuries or put into the savings bank. At the end of ten years he is eligible for ticket of leave, with liberty to earn lis living within the island settlement in his own way. He can live in his own house, farm little land and move about within a consid. erable area unWatehed. He can send for wife and children, or, if bache- Tor, marry a convict woman. At the end of twenty years. if of good be- havior, he obtains an absolute release, with free conveyance to India to make a fresh start as free man.

 An TnteresfiDg Discovery.

An interesting discovery has reward ed the researches of officials at Hamp- ton Court palace, London There has always lurked suspicion that the walls of the famous Queen Anne's drawing room. which is in the center of the east wing of Wren's famous building, contained more than the sec- ond rate portraits of the Georges. Never however, was 1t supposed than an inn portant work by that once famous dec orative artist, Verrio, had been con- cealed from the public eye since 1735, owing to a stupendous act of vandal- ism, which, it is presumed, was car ried out by Queen Caroline in 1735, probably to prevent the apothesis of Queen Anne from meeting her eyes in her drawing room when she became traordinary act of the paper hanger Of that time, who, in covering up Verrio's work, scratched on his name and the date of the paper hanging Ipstaking down some of the portraits of the Georges, which were intended for Keu- sington palace, it was noticed by an official that the top right hand corner closed to the ceiling seemed abruptly cut off from the general scheme of the beautiful ceiling. which everyone had seen and admired, and which repre- sented Queen Anne in the chariot of Justice, dressed in purple lined with ermine. Over her head is a crown, held by Neptune and Britannia, while surrounding and floating in the clouds are various allegorieal figures repre- senting Peace and Plenty, etc. The discovery now made shows that the whole of the walls were originally painted by Verrio in the same manner. the subject being Queen Anne's apotheosis as Queen of the Sea in the four great quarters of the globe.

London Family Doctor: Dr. De Becker has found salicylic acid val-l uable agent in pneumonia, believing that it acts on the infiammatory proc ess in the lungs, and shortens the at tack or abates it.
