BRYAN on ERRING BRETHREN.
Democrats Out of the Fold May Re-
turn on Repcnting.

MILWAUKEE,. WIS. April 2.-The
Journal prints the following:
''To Editor Milwaukee Journal
Dear Sir,-T am just in receipt OF your
| favor of March 22d. in which you say: 1t
Is asserted here that many Democrats
who voted for Mckinley in 1886 feel that
| they have been trined with by the Re
publicans and are likely to vote the DEM
| ocratic ticket again at the next presi-
! Dental campaign though they may not
be in full accord with the PLATFORM and
ask: What. in your opinion would be
the wise course to pursue toward these
people? In what way may their reafiiia-
tion with the party be best facilitated?'
In reply, would say that | have no
authority to speak for the Democratic
party, and, i'm what | say express only
my own opinion.
81 am satisfied that you are correct in
saying that many Democrats who voted
for Mckinley are disappointed with the
Republican administration, and will vote
the Democratic ticket i'm the future. L
think that the same statement could be
made i'm regard to those who voted the
Palmer and Buckner ticket. The doors
of the party are always open to receive
new additions. whether they be new con-
verts or former members Of the party.
TO err is human. and those who erred I'm

some did in 1896. and yet subscribe to the
platform as a whole.
no DEMOCRATIC HOSTILITY.
81 have found among the Democrats no
provided they recognize that the Demo-
cratic party now has a platform that is
satisfactory to the Democrats.
"A Democrat who comes back merely
for the purpose ofhghting against the re-
affirmation Of the Chicago platform will
not find the party cOngenial. Those who
recognize that they erred i'm 1896 are not
likely to insist upon prominence in the
party management until they have time
to bring forth works meet for repent

they will have to convince their assOci-
ates of the sincerity of their purpose to

"The only unwelcOme guests are those
who deserted in ISL ard SIN claim 10 BE

surrender of the Chicago platform as the
price Of their return. only those who are
willing to stand upon the last platform

next platform. Yours truly.

INTERESTING LECTURE.
What a Black Man Saw I'm a White
Mans Country.

The fair and bazar which is being held
In the parlors of the Norwegian-Danish
M. e. church at Thirteenth and Broad
way is being largely patroniZed The
church has debt of S., 900, and while the
committee having the fair in charge do
not expect to realize a sufficient sum to
lift the debt, a good sum will be secured
In addition to the usual attractions in
the way of fancy articles and light re-
freshments visitors to the fair evenings
are entertained by short stalks by inter
esting speakers.
Last evening Rev. w. S. Brooks, pastor
of st. Peters African NJ 2 church. of
Minneapolis, gave a brief description of
his visit to Sweden and Norway four
years ago under the title of What
Rack Man Saw in a White Mans Couu-
try" The lecture by Rev. Brooks was
in the nature of an unconventional talk
about his trip to Scandinavia, and as he
is negro, and, to the Scandinaviaps in
parts of Sweden and Norway, was a real
curiosity, the story of his visit was rep.eta
with humorous incidents and anecdotes.
On the way over to Liverpool Rev
Brooks preached a sermon to the 500 pas
SengerS on the steamer and also sang a
hymn in Swedish. This accomplishment.
as he explained to the audience last even
ing, lust lit up the boat" and at the
conclusion Of bis musical effort the mas
that niger be-" His description of his
actions and experience at a fashionable
dinner given in his honor after his arrival
in Sweden was laughable, the more so for
the manner in which he related it. In
Stock holm he was granted an interview
with King Oscar, and when ushered into
the king, being unacquainted with royal
etiquette, he gave the king IAN American
bow"
During his tour Rev. Brooks lectured,
through an interpreter, on slavery, and
was, as he stated, warmly received
at all cities and villages where he spoke
The natives had never had the pleasure
of seeing an African-American before
and at various points he was Piled with
questions as to why the palms of his
hands were white and the back of them
black, and If all his people had such
beautiful hair" Rev Brooks admitted to
his audience last evening that ION one
occasion a persistent young lady secured
a lock of his hair as q souvenir
Returning to this country he stopped a
few days at Manchester, Eng, and being
arrayed in peaked shoes, plug hat and
black cape OvercOat, he was pointed out
on the streets as the African prince
This, the lecturer said, made me feel
mighty big until I asked a policeman.
But when he told@me they took me for
a prisoner who had been brought from
Natal, 1 went back to my room quick,
took off my plug hat, and didn't go out
on the streets any more
The fair will close this evening, Rev.

QUICKLY RENOVATES THE
ENTIRE BODY.

Improper food is responsible for many
ailments of humanity.
When one finds sickness impending
it is safer to make a radical change in
the food than to go to self-drugglng.
Your physician would tell you that is
true.
There are times when one needs the
advice and care of a physician. but for
slight disorders the surest and safest way
is to change the food completely
Try, for example, for ten days the fol-
lowing breakfast: A little fruit little if
any sugar., a dish of Grape-Nuts Ga
famous breakfast food and cream, a cup
of Postum Cereal Food Coffee and moth
ing more. Our word for it, you will feel
a distinct gain in health and strength
much as if the whole body had been wash
ed clean and put in first-class order. 1t
is certainly worth a trial If active good
health is worth anything,
