is IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard,
y. G.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market. yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it Il duty to say good word
for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarilloea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly ON amy
medicine for cure but we do believe
that if bottle of Chamberlain s
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept ON hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of physician would not be required At
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale every

A REGRETTABLE INCIDENT.

1t is very much to be regretted that
anything should have occurred in con-
nection with the Dewey celebration to
create unpleasant feelings and produce
irritating controversy. The treatment
Of the union veterans, while perhaps not
SO grave u matter as the commander
in-chief of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public thinks, was certainly a blunder
and undoubtedly everybody who can
look at it fairly and without prejudice
will take this view. The veterans
should have been given the head Of the
parading column as an honor rightly
theirs on such an occasion. The recep-
ton to Dewey is not distinctively a
naval affair. 1t Is a demonstration Of
popular esteem in which all participate
and the union veterans are representa-
tives of our greatest military achieve
ments and glory. Moreover, Dewey him
| self is a union veteran, who did gallant
service in the civil war. 1t is not to be
doubted that he would be we'll pleased
to see the other veterans properly recog-
nized in connection with this reception.
The assertion Of Commander Shaw
that the treatment Of the Grand Army
men was intended to be an insult may
be u~nwarranted, but whatever the mo-
tive it was a mistaken one, and those
who are responsible for 1t should be
made to realize this. The occasion is
peculiarly one in which the union vet
Grams should have a prominent part, and
their resentment at being denied this is
| entirely justifiable.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-09-28
or WHAT
A Specimen of Bryan's False Asser'
lions on the stump.

New York Times.
Colonel William j. Bryan, in his speech
opening the Nebraska campaign, is reported
by a friendly newspaper as having provoked
a sympathetic audience to laughter ana
applause by declaring that after Mckinleys
election, Things got SO bad that many
people thought l was elected" Stimulated,
possibly, by that acclaim of the multitude
that for him has so great a power to fasci-
nate, he went on to declare that during the
six months succeeding the election OF Nc
Kinley more banks and business houses
failed than in the corresponding period Of
the previous year.
Why did Colonel Bryan say that? Did he
make this assertion about the number Of
failures during the first six months of 1897
because he believed it to be true and that
1t was an important truth to be
Gated to the 10000 at O'Neill? What are
the facts? The number of failures during the
first six months following McKinley's cleo
tion was S,O62. This appears to make the
number of failures in the six months re-
ferred to by Colonel Bryan 1,241 less than
in the six months referred to by him as being
so much better. We might as we'll add that
the liabilities of those failing in the first
six months of 1896 were $97, 1863, 6s2, while the
liabilities of the failures in the correspond
ing period in 1897 were $91, 692, 1877.
A mere glance by Colonel Bryan at easily
procured and trustworthy statistics would
have made it impossible for him, If a truth
full man, to make such a Misrepresentation,
and we do not believe that the $1,000 who
heard him make this unfortunate speech at
the beginning of the Nebraska campaign will
think better of him for it. We are inclined
to think that Colonel Bryan made his COM
parison ignorantly. Even an inspired leader
cannot know everything.
The Nebraska opponents of Colonel Bryan
have been supplied by him with a cudgel
that should be used with energy and per-
sistency. Colonel Bryan has been regarded
as a man who intends to be fair. In order
to be fair about statistics one must be &C
quainted with them. And when it is shown
that the average liabilities in failures de-
creased from $14,992 in 1896 to $11.559 In
1897, and that it was $40. 722 in 1898, it will
be incumbent upon Colonel Bryan to admit
that he did not know what he was talking
about, or that, knowing, he stated what he
knew to be not the truth.
