DON'T WANT FREE SILVER.

A solid South will not be found
among the supporters of Bryan and
free silver fallacies.
Three well-known and influential
Democratic papers in the South repre-
senting cities and states where the
present "'busy hum of industry"
would be unknown under tariff
other than that provided for by the
Dingley bill, and gold standard
dollar, voice the sentiments of other
journals equally as influential. We
quote from Democratic papers pub
lished in the three great states of
Tennessee, Georgia ana Alabama as
follows:
HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
Why not say frankly, brethren of the
church of st. Bryan, that the issue is
between the silver standard and the
gold standard? Why keep up such a
chat about bimetallism? You used to
accuse the sound money men of being
afraid to march under the gold stand
ard and you are clearly afraid to line
up under the banner of silver, pure
and simple. You know, as we'll as
we do, that your free coinage of sill
yer and gold" and your bimetallism"
are mere aphemisms that, being trans
lated, spell single silver standard af-
ter the pattern of Mexico and China.
Let us at least be honest in the use of
terms. Chattanooga Times dem. J.
WEARY OF FREE SILVER.
We are convinced that the free sill
yer issue is by no means as strong as
it was in 1896. The other two issues,
the antitrust and the nti-expansion
issue, are undoubtedly very strong and
we believe, are growing stronger.
How a platform made up mainly of
two strong propositions and one weak
one will stand before the country re-
mains to be seen. 1t also remains to
be seen how the nomination of can
didate for president who is more
thoroughly identified with the one
weak issue than with the two strong
ones will be considered by majority
of the voters in the United States. -

Low tariff advocates who are fond
of reiterating the thread-bare asser-
tion that protection destroys our
markets abroad should take look at
the figures of our foreign commerce
for the month of October and compare
them with the good old low tariff
days under the Wilson law. The
October exports in 1899 were $126 764,
7S6, while in 1894, the first October
after the enactment of the Wilson law
they were $S3, 653 1871, and in 1896
$4,000, 972. For the twelve months
ending with October, 1899, they were
81, 296, 800, S45, against $500, $40, 2s9 i'll
the twelve months ending with Octo-
Der, 1895, under the Wilson law.

A THIRD TICKET UNNECESSARY

There is but one question before the
people, namely, whether the gold
standard shall be maintained or the
silver standard be substituted for it.
In support of the first proposition the
Republican party stands pledged. In
support of the second proposition the
Democratic party is ready to take all
risks. Where does a secondary sound
money party come in? We see nc
place for it, just as we saw no place
for the Palmer and Buckner party in

WHY THE coNFEDERAcY FAILED

Joel Chandler Harris contributes to
the Christmas number of the Saturday
Evening Post an authentic account of
the daring attempt to warn the Con-
federate cabinet'of the great move
ment whereby Grant and Sherman
were to cooperate in crushing the
Confederacy. How the attempt failed
and why it failed are the subjects of
a chapter of the little-known history
Of the Secret Service. Mr.. Harris
has his facts first-hand, and he has
woven them into story of such alb
sorbing interest that it might easily
be mistaken for pure fiction.

The City Council, of Elizabeth has
passed trolley ordinance in which a
five cent fare to Crawford from
Elizabeth five years hence was a fea-
ture which the Westfeld & Elizabeth
Street Railroad Company refused tc
accept claiming that it could not
afford to carry passengers to Crawford
for less than eight cents including
transfers. Commenting ON the action
of the Council, the Elizabeth Journal
says as to the Councils action:
The sentiment which found ex-
preston among merchants and citi-
zens generally was commingling of
indignation and regret. Some bitter
ly denounced council others deplored
such unwisdom and shortsightedness
while others declared that until the
whole system was abolished and that
of Newark and Jersey City substituted
for it this city could make no pro-
gress.
The people want the trolley, the city
needs the trolley, and for this reason
it is to be hoped that council and the
Wesfield & Elizabeth company will
get together again as soon as possible
and reach a reasonable and equitable
agreement. To this end angry exc
crations would better be suppressed,
and the citizens should see the coun-
cilmen of their respective wards and
try to influence them to act for the
best and most progressive interests of
the city.
All want the trolley. Let all exer-
else themselves to get it upon just,
proper, reasonable and equitable
terms

REV. Mr.. SHELDON SOMEWHAT
MIXED.

At recent meeting Of the Central
Congregational Church Of Topeka,
Kansas, the new church covenant
proposed by the pastor, the Rev. @.
M. Sheldon, the author of the famous
book, In His Steps," abolishing the
Apostles Creed and revising the old
covenant was unanimously adopted
Because of the wide reputation ac-
quired by Mr.. Sheldon through his
book, the first announcement that a
change in the covenant had been pro-
posed by him and would be adopted
by his church attracted much COM
ment throughout the country.
His purpose, as he explained it to
his congregation was to simplify the
covenant so that child might under
stand it. He cited the case of a man
who had some time ago expressed a
desire to join the church, but was
kept back for the reason that he did
not feel that he could conscientiously
subscribe to all the terms of the
Apostles Greed. Mr.. Sheldon con-
sidered his case, and, being convinced
of his sincerity, he admitted him to
the church, reading the covenant with
the creed omitted.
Here is the new covenant without
the Apostles Greed, and the old cove
nant:

OLD COVENANT.

Dearly beloved, called of God to be
His through Jesus Christ our Lord,
you are here that in the presence of
God, and His people, you may enter
in to the fellowship and communion
of your sins; you heartily believe
Jesus Christ as your crucified Saviour
and risen Lord; you consecrate your
selves unto God and your life to His
service; you accept His word as your
law, and His spirit as your comforter
and guide and, trusting in His grace
goodness, you promise to do God S
holy will, and to walk with this
church in the truth and peace of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Accepting, according to the measure
of your understanding of it, the sys-
tenn of Christian truth held tby the
churches of our faith and order, and
by this church into whose fellowship
you now enter, you join with ancient
saints, with the Church throughout
the world, and with us, your fellow
believers, in humbly and heartily
confessing your faith in the gospel
saying:
U6ll6N6 LII OOu, Jue dunGT AL
mighty, maker of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son,
our Lord who was conceived by the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin
Mary; suffered under Pontius PLATE,
was crucified, dead and buried; the
third day He arose from the dead !;
He assembled into heaven; and sitteth
at the right hand of God, the Father
Almighty, and from whence He shall
come to judge the quick and the dead.
believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy
Catholic Church, the communion of
saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life
everlasting. Amen.
Now, the God of peace that brought
again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great Sheppard of the sheep
through the blood of the everlasting
covenant, make you perfect in every
good work to do His will, working in
you that which is we'll pleasing in
His sight, through Jesus Christ to
whom be glory forever and forever.
Amen. - Hebrews viii. 1921. y

Christian that any one who could not
assent to the articles of the Apostles
Greed the simplest of all statements
of evangelical belief would hardly
be fit person to be received into a
Christian Church.

give hearty thanks to God, who by
His Spirit, has opened your eyes to

as Lord, and who has led you to pre-

know them now. or may hereafter
learn them through His Holy Scrip
lures, and to do His will so far as you
may be able through the help of the
Holy Spirit. You do cordially unite
yourself with this church of Christ
and you promise to share with us in
its worship and work, by attending
the. services of the church; by aiding
in the financial and social work of the
church, and by taking upon yourself

church.
DO you so promise?
Now unto Him that is able to keep
you from falling and to present you
faultless before the presence of His
glory with exceeding joy, to the only
wise God, our Saviour, be glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both
now and forever. Amen.

THE HUMBLE BOY.
He Bided His Time and Got Even
with His TOrmentOrs.

Ono midsummer term an unflodgcd,
weak knced youngstcr presented himself
at "A we'll known public school and was
Immediately pounced upon by the boys
and hauled off to be broken in. They prac-
ticed all the usual tricks upon him, and
he bore them mecily-so meekly, in fact,
that the boys were contemptuous and
made scathing remarks about his etfem-
macy and lack of spirit
After this he was taken 20 the lumber
room and sternly commanded to black all
the boots for the following day. The boys
were supposed to attend to their own foot
gear, but the task generally fell to the
lot of the weakest among them, and it
was faVOrite plan to order newcomers to
do the work unaidcd. This particular new
boy received the order resignedly and said,
THANK you, sil, - quite humbly, when
ono of the monitors kicked him and told
him to hurry along He seemed almost
overwhelmed with gratitude for the honor
done to him and promised to discharge
his duty Inanfully if he were only given
sufficient time.
He was therefore left to himself, and
the boys went away in high feather,
thanking their stars that happy chance
had sent such n willing slave to pandcr to
their needs. An hour passed, and then it
occurred to the monitor before mentioned
to go and see how the new boy was getting
on. He threw open the door OF the lumber
room, and sight met his eyes which al
most chokcd him.
The new boy had "a white buckskin
cricket boot in his hand and was busily
covering it with backing.
"Iou big idiot, whatever are you do
ing" screamed the monitor. "Iou' re rub

"Yes, sir, | am, answered the new boy
with studied innocence. That what you
wished me to do isn't it? Tho others arc
black enough, so thought I d get through
the white ones first. Two polished 10

Some Pertinent Questions Tha, Can Al
be Answered With one Reply.

why is it that in Burlington and its SUI
burbs with n combined population of over
1900 there is only one medicinal pre-
paration which gives statements from res
idents to back up its representations?
why Is it that Doan's Kidney Pills do
this In every other city and town of any
importance In the Union?
Why Is it that there arc advertised in
every newspaper dozen remedies and
only one can supply local proof, local en-
dorsation of its claims?
The solution OF the problem is simple.
only one remedy has the curing and tho
staying power.
other remedies make all kinds of glgan-
tic, yet futile efforts to get local proof,
but the attempt ends in producing a stat
mont or two from places, that as far as
Burlington IL concerned, might as well
be i'm the moon.

Heads to the North,

The superstition that human beings
should sleep with their heads to the north
is believed by the French to have for its
foundation scientific fact They affirm
that each human system is in itself an
electric battery, the head being one Of tho
electrodes the feet the other. Their proof
was discovered from experiments which
tho Academy of Sciences was allowed to
make on the body of man who was
guillotined. This was taken the instant
1t fell and placed upon a pivot free to
move rs 1t might. Tho head part after q
little vacillatiOn turned to the north, and
the body then remained stationary. 1t
was turned half way round by one of the
professors, and again the head end of the
trunk moved slowly to the cardinal point
due north, the same results being repeat
oil until the final arrestation of organic
movement. Boston Traveller.
