What a tender morsel that word trust
is to william, Jennings Bryan while
jOurneying through ohio,in John ReclS-
less McLean's gilded private car. In
cldentally he Is attacking Mr.. Hanna
Mr.. Bryan has never forgiven the chair
man Of the national Republican COM
mlttee for conducting such a vigorous
and successful campaign against him
in 1896. Hear him at celIna, Ohio:
with Abraham Lincoln the man
came first; with Mark Hanna nothing
is genuine unless the dollar mark IS
blown In the bottle. When the Repub-
lican party was organized 1t was with
the idea that political convictions were
stronger than party lines. The vicious
dollar mark was not a consideration
then"
This is tlresome enough stuff, but
how Is it that Mr.. Bryan, himself. holds
this same vicious dollar marll' in such
high esteem. Under the Euise of advo-
eating the interests OF the Democratic
party Mr.. Bryan has lectured through
out the country, not exactly for the
good Of the cause alone but for the BEN
eft Of his own pocketbook at the rate
OF $500 or $500 per lecture. It has bean
with him no money, no lecture. Then
how was it some years ago when de-
string petty office he wrote the Hon,
j. Sterling Morton that 1t was not for
the honor but the money that was in 1t
that he coveted the posItIoc. In all his
talk about the degrading touch OF the
dollar Mr.. Bryan himself has beer suf-
fering from a most pronounced itching
of the palm. Give US something new
and original, Mr. Bryan-If you can.

Frank statement,

In connection with the statement
made by Carl schurz at the Chicago
conference Of the anu-expanslOnists
that the present operations in the Phll-
Ippines was 1.-THE Presidents war;" 1t
would be well for the people Of the
country to heed the words Of the Presl-
dent himself rather than accept the un-
founded assertion of a chronic grum-
bier, All through the west the Presi-
dent has been met with the most en-
thuslastic audiences. whose approving
demonstrations cannot be mistaken.
The chief executive has been frank in
every ayowal he has made concerning
the Philippine situation; in no instance
has he equlvocated or shirked the re-
sponslbIlities that have been laid on the
administration. For instance his
speech at'Milwaukee states his position
a. clearly as 1t can be made.
"some people" he said, seem dis
turbed about the Presidents policy. Tho
President has no policy against the will
Of the people. The best policy in this
world for men or nations Is their duty,
and wherever that duty calls We should
follow. we should not halt, we should
mot hesitate. Responsibility born Of duty
cannot be evaded with honor, We are in
the philippines, our nag is there; the
arst requirement. the indispensable re-
auirement. Is peace. No terms until the
undlsputed authority OF the United
states shall be acknowledged in every
foot of territory of the archipelago.
After that comes, then Congress win
make government under the sovereign
" Of tho United States. In no other
way, gentlemen. can we give peace to
the national conscience or peace to thu
world" IN IKE manner, at waukegan,
M, was his response to the wild OUT
burst Of applause that greeted him. and
greeted his Interpretation Of their well
come. II cannot, my fellow citizens"
he said, shave mlslead your purpose
and your conception of public duty. I
am endeavoring. as am bound to DO
BY the constitution Of the United States.
to execute the law in every foot Of ter
ritory that belongs to US. Rebellion
has been raised against your authority
IN a territory that is as much our own
As Alaska or the District OF Columbia
or any territory Of the United States,
and that rebellion will be put down AMI
the authority Of the United States will
be made supreme. Some people say the
President Is carrying ON an unholy war
In the Phillpplnes-an unholy war to
uphold the holy banner Of the free,
which the children carry in their hands
and which represents the sovereignty
Of the republic against those who are
attacking 1t. The people Of the United
States never had an appeal made to
duty which was in vain"
It is well known that the President
was strongly averse TO war with Spain.
He tried every art that diplomacy could
suggest 70 avert hostIlitIes. It was
the people who demanded 1t. and when
be could no longer resist he went Into
The CONFLICT with an earnest determine
tion to carry out the will of the people.
1t Is not improbable that some Of these
same critics who are crying out loudest
against the iniquIty of the Philippine
operations were the most persistent
shouters Of ION to Havana" And
they never carried gun.

PHYSICAL PAIN AS A IEvn1IEa.
An old Surgeon Says That Mental
SufferlnR IA Much Easier 10 Bear.


suHerlnR Is Much Easier to Bear.
New Orleans Times Democrat: "one
frequently hears 1t said" remarked a
veteran surgeon, chatting In his office
yesterday, that mental suffering is a
great deal harder to bear than physical
suffering, but the people who make the
assertion are usually people who know
very little about bodily pain. They have
q vague Idea that a capacity for mem
tai anguish indicates a fine. high
strung spirit, while there Is something
gross about a constituencies to physical
discomfort. Such theory Is pure
rubbish. and the facts IN a general way
are quite to the contrary.
1T Is your thoroughbred, your REIN
ed, highly Intellectual person who is
most susceptible to brute pain. and
your rough, ihlterate, dull-witted fell
low who Is driven to distraction by
tormented mind. / suppose the expla-
nation 10 that the stupid, uneducated
man is unable to bring any philosophy
to bear on his troubles, while on the
other hand the nerves Of the cultured
chap have been sharpened by ciViIi2a-
ton. But as far us my observation
goes, pain. physical pain, is the great
leveller. Be the form what It may

there Is sIng!s human being who can

under long-cont' iued bodily distress.
oh, yes; I know what you are going to
say-that there are invalids and Grip
pies whose temper has been only
sweetened by years OF torture. Such
cases prove nothing, nothing at all.
They think they are suffering continu-
ally. but they are not. There are long
intervals Of relief and quietude.
Take my word for II that pain de-
stroys moral fibre as surely as FIRE de-
stroys wood, and that, by the way, was

coroRADo,s BURNiNG MOUNTAIN
a Glow rC0ai and Gas That Ikts not
Ceased During q Century.

a Glow " Coal and Gas That ll6s not
Ceased During q Century.
Kansas city World: A mountain,
which has been on fre for more than
one hundred years. Is situated Just west
Of Newcastle. Col. SO close is 1t that
Its shadow envelops the town at 81 p.
m. at this time OF the year. and yet the
people hereabouts think no more Of II
than OF the beautiful Grand river which
washes the feet OF the huge pile where
the fire has burned 80 long. To the ten
derfoot, however the glltterlng patches
OF deep red FIRE. where It breaks out
on the side Of the mountain and Is ex-
posed to view. there Is nothing In all
the state quite It's equal.
The IRE is fed by big vein Of coal
which the mountain contains. Just how
the coal became ignlted Is NOT known.
The Oldest resident says It was on fre
when he came, and the Ute Indians,
who once lived there, say 1t was burn
ing many years before the hrst white
man crosse dthe continental divide. The
superstition is that the coal was ignited
by forest hre at an early date in the
present century. 1t has smouldered and
steadily burned until this day. AT night
when the moon is dark is the best time
to see the FIRE. Then It Is that Is resem-
bles the regions Of inferno as given US
in the word painting OF Dante. The
earth covering the coal Is loOsened by
the heat and falls away, exposing the
sheet Of IRE.
The escaping gas probably assists IN
stripping OF the rocks and dirt, and
wherever the vein Of coal approaches
the surface the fire can be seen. The
hrst FIRE / saw was fully 50 feet square,
1t had a peculiar red tint, while the
burning gas coming up at the base OF
the coal vein added bright blue col
oring to the scene. In many places the
surface of the mountain mas sunken,
showing where the fre has burned out
its course.
Efforts have been made TO eEtiDguish
the fire. Some time ago a company
which owns q large amount OF coal
land constructed ditch from a point
several miles above the mountain into
which It succeeded in turning the water
which goes to form Elk creek.
Previously a shaft had been sunken
in the mountain and into this shaft the
water was permitted to flow. The shaft
was soon filled, but the IRE was above
the level Of the water and the enort
was q failure.

The Omaha World Herald takes re.

pine Islands; or. rather denying our
right to them as consequence of the
war with Spain and subsequent treaty.
It says: Dewey did not capture them.
He merely sailed into Manila bay and
destroyed a spanish feet" That's all
he did. He merely sailed in and de-
stroyed the fleet. A very banal occur
renee. Anyone could have done a little
thing like that and not half try. Why,
according TO the Omaha AguInnldlst
Commodore John crockard could have
done the same thing with his wharf
boat cruiser. no. Dewey didn't do u
thing to them. He "'merely" destroyed
Spanish Aeet.
Lots OF Americans who yelled them
selves hoarse for two days in New York
and suffered from patriotic commissions
at night, will feel very foolish when
they read that Dewey merely" de-
stroyed Spanish feet. Really We
thought he had done something that
we Americans could be proud Of. II
seems that we have been mistaken.
We shall know better next time, as We
shall first consult the Omaha World
Herald to find out whether we are RICH.
