The event of the literary year will
be, undoubtedly, the great novel
upon which Count Tolstoy has been
laboring in order that he may de-
vote the proceeds to the Transports

Russian Quakers. 1t is generally
believed by his friends that this
work will probably mark the con-
clusion of Count Tolstoy's literary
career. Not merely on this account,
but because of the subject treated,
it will attract the widest attention,

THE SILVER PARTY.

w uoA JHo luuepeuu61t uON0-
ment which was started in Dayton
in 1892, and which led to the or
ganization later on in that year of
the Silver Party, it was not the in
tention to give any class of men
any special privileges in tue party
nor was it the idea to offer any in
dividual any special inducement to
join the silver league. The people
of Dayton we'll remember when
Mr.. Newlands first visited Dayton
that year that he had some plans
of his own which he thought would
answer the same purpose as our
silver league The independent sill
yer move was very new then. 1t is
true that about SO per cent. of the
voters of this place had signed the
league roll at that time, but nobody
knew whether the move would be
winner or not. Mr.. Newlands
was given an opportunity to sign
our league roll at that time but
thought he could not afford to do it
Just then. He was seeking the
nomination on the Republican
ticket and it appeared to be little
dangerous to do anything which
the Republican party might not
sanction. 1t was some time after
Mr.. Newland's visit to Dayton that
year that a meeting of the Chair
men of the several silver leagues
was called in Virginia City, osten-
sibly to unity the test to become a
member of any of the silver
leagues in the State The tests
were not only unified but were so
modified that Mr.. Newlands joined
a silver league, we believe. So it
will be seen that from the very first
the party had to be trimmed up to
fit Mr.. Newlands. The action tax
ell by the State Central Committee
Of the party this week was dras-
tic measure, but something had to
be done to prevent silver party
nominees from accepting nomina-
tions from opposing parties and
placing themselves in a position
where they cannot help the entire
ticket of the party to which they
profess TO belong. 1t is noticeable
that the committeeman who voted
to GUST the traitors from the party
are the same men who stepped into
the party at its birth, while those
who favored letting them remain
were later converts or personal
friends of the men who had to have
the party fixed little before they
joined it. The Silver Party has
shown to the world that it has the
courage to express its convictions.
1t is not afraid to tell man he is
traitor because he is millionaire,
and those of lower degree who
are flirting with outside parties
had better take the warning that if
they don't want to be drummed out
Of the silver party they had better
change their program.

snain,- sunkcn sshinr Floatea.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat of the
century has been the raising of some of the
Spanish warships which were apparently shot
to pieces at Santiago. 1t seemed utterly i'm
possible to float them because of the terrible
damage inflicted by our guns, but the task has
been accomplished. Diseases of the blood,
stomach and liver frequently wreck the health

cry. But when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
taken, the disordered system is speedily re
stored to its old-time vigor and tone The Bit

tive functions and purify the blood. You can
buy this remedy in any drug store, and under
no circumstances shobld you accept anything
