Wealth the Enemy of Liberty.

Extract from Ex-Governor Altgeld' s
speech at Omaha:
Republican institutions cannot live
amid these conditions. Wealth has never
been the friend of liberty. Concurrently
with the progress of these changes we
hear the snarling voices of men who
deride the doctrines of Jefferson and Lin
coin that made our country great and
might. Already we see magazine articles
urging the establishment by law of a per-
manent aristocracy in our system of gov
eminent, and from high quarters we hear
a demand for Hamiltonianism Hamilton
believed in monarchy and aristocracy
bottomed on corruption. He was in love
with the English system as it existed in
the last century, thoroughly rotten from
top to bottom, and he labored to trans
plant whatever he could of that system.
He once said to John Adams: Purge the
British constitution of its corruption and
give to its popular branch equality ofrep-
resentation and it would become an i'm
practicable government. Bnt as it stands
at present, it is the most perfect govern
ment that ever existed" He did not
advance single new thought, did not
promulgate single new principle; and
he sneered at the idea that the people
were capable of self-government.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inAamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrr,
which is nothing but an ,Hlaamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

A Bryan Anecdote.

VIM. J. Bryan in his great speech at
Denver recently told the following anec-
dote:-"The trusts are growing they are
increasing i'll this country. A man down
i'll our town who appeared there with
before the curtain rose. He said he was
glad to say to the people there that pros
perity' was restored, he was glad to say
that confidence had returned, and he said
when he heard that confidence had re-
turned, that he looked in the dictionary
to find out what confidence meant. He
found the first definition of confidence
was trust, and then he said he knew that
conf lence had been restored"

cit is significant that the advance in
staples which began fortnight ago has
suddenly ceased Wheat fell S cents a

this very nearly wiped out the advance

Provisions do not advance; coffee is very
low and sugar rose very slightly OH a re-

Attacks the Americans.

The yellow bellied army of Aguinaldo
attacked the Americans at Manila on
Saturday night and severe lighting con-
tinued on Sunday. The Filipinos found
before Suday night that it was different
$ thing fighting Americans and fighting
Spaniards.
This attack of the Filipinos made the
ratification of the treaty certain, which
hung in doubt before.
When the bottom facts are ascertained
the proof is convincing that McKinley's
besitating and uncertain policy is the
main cause of the present Filipino trouble
and CT the opposition in the Senate to the
treaty ratification. A clear annunciation
by the President that the policy of the
United States was to treat the Philippines
as Cuba was treated would have disarmed
opposition in the Senate and prevented
the outbreak at Manila by the Filipinos
The strangest feature about the Sena-
torial treaty contest is that the Democrats
should have been fooled by German who
is working i'll the interest of the banks
and Rothschilds' financial policy and 20
crafty his spleen. To defeat the treaty
and force the call of an extra session was
doubtless the desire of the money cliques.
If an extra session of the Senate was
called the pressure would have been put
on the President to call both houses, and
the bank party would have had all sum-
,ner to get their infamous bill passed for
placing the government under their man.
agement.
Any one who has studied Gormau's
cold blooded and vindictive nature and
his close alliance with the goldbug ele-
ment must reach this conclusion. To
split the Democratic party is also a part

Germans Company.

The following item of news comes
through Holland" the Philadelphia
Press New York staff correspondent, a
reliable newspaper man:
Croker has organized corporation
designed to secure control of the trucking
business of New York and Brooklyn. He
has au indirect association with Joseph
Letter. He has brought into the corpora
ton some distinguished Democrats like
Senator German and some able business
men like Roswell Flower.
''If the purposes of this corporation are
consummated, it will have the vast income
which the trucking business of this city
brings. 1t is said that it costs S., 900, 600
a year to cart coal alone, and that is only
one item"
Germans machine is intact in Mary
land, and the party depends OIL him as its
directing head. 1t will be seen that there
is little or no hope of the Democratic
party in this state adopting the National
platform and every prospect of its re-
naming in the goldbug camp.

Aguinaldo'S War.

The attack on General OTIS
army in Manila last Saturday night
by the mob of Filipinos composed
of various tribes of half civilized
and savage natives, proved severe
but instructive lesson to that bonn
bastic "patriot, +" the "Sitting Bull"
of the Tagalo tribes of Luzon. The
mob army of that bumptious chief
was scattered like chaff before the
wind, 1000 of the natives being
killed and wounded and numbers
of them captured. They ran like
rabbits from cane brake to cane
brake after the first charges of the
troops, and were scattered for ten
miles out from the city. Aguinaldo
declared war against the United
States after his "army" had been
scattered. About $50 Americans
were killed and wounded in the
battle.
The fuss that has been made over
Aguinaldo is little less than farcical
in the light of his recent exploits,
which prove he is little more than
an educated savage, full of guile,
deception and treachery. In the
city of Manila the natives were pre-
pared for the outbreak with knives
ready to assinate the Americans,
who were on the alert and the first
attempts were met by revolvers,
and few Filipinos shot in theil
tracks soon put a stop to the knife
game, which is the sum and sub
stance of the Spanish civilization OF
800 years.
The doughty Filipino "patriot''
placed a company of bow and
arrow men of tribe with an un-
pronouncable name in the front Of
his lines before battery of artillery
of the modern style. The chief OF
the bow and arrow company had a
leg broken and was captured by the
Americans. He declares he will
get even with Aguinaldo after he
gets out of the hospital, for placing
him and his tribe where they were
sure to be killed.
This attack on the American
lines settles the question of Phil
ippine republic and also fixes the
status of the Philippine question
for the immediate future.
In the course of human events
the United States mas fallen heir tC
this Spanish estate of filth, barbar-
ism and neglect of decaying Latin
civilization and must take up the
cross and make the best they can
out of it.

What Farmers Pay for the Gold
Standard,

Before silver was demonetized wheat
was rarely less than 81 bushel, and gen.
orally more. Then the farmer got 500
for 100 bushels of wheat. Wheat is now
about IS cents bushel. 500 will now
buy TAT bushels of his wheat. The farmer
is paying AZ bushels out of every 500
worth he sells for the luxury Of enjoying

1t was in 1869 that Gen. John y. Lo-
gan. then commander in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, announced
MAY 30 as the day on which the graves
of soldiers should be decorated, anG
from that time until the present that
date has been known ard observed as
Decoration day. Before then flowers
were placed on the graves of the sol.
diers of both north and south at differ.
cnt dates during the early spring, but .
general observance of any specific day
for this beautiful custom of honoring
the memory of our dead was not known
until Gen. ogan issued his order nam
ing May 30.
There is, however, n controversy
about the fact of the custom original
ing in particular locality, some claim
ing it sprang up spontaneously in al
most every section of the country at
once. while others say it was the wom-
en- of the south who first went to the
graves Of their fallen soldiers and
placed flowers upon the mounds. The

APPROVE OF PLANS.
French Government Passes on De.
signs of American Buildings.
To re Five Buildings I'm Main
Grounds and Two In the Bois de
vincepne,, the ANNEX to the
Exposition.

Ferdinand W. Peck, commissioner
general of the United States 10 the Paris
exposition of 1900, has returned to this
| country.
When asked about the results of his
trip to Paris, Mr.. Peek said: =
During my brief stay in Paris much
was accomplished for our American ex-
hibit in 1900. This is the formative
period of our task. The plans of al
the United States buildings have beer
approved by the French authorities,
though many changes were made in
them to conform to the requirement $
of the French government and to meet
the limitations of our appropriation.
Work upon these buildings will begin
Immediately. There will be five build
ings in tho main grounds and two in
the Vols de Nincennes, the annex to
the exposition. which will be made Il
most important part of the whole. Our
national pa viion will be the only en-.
pensive budding I'VE will construct.
Thi; will lie on the bank of the Seine
alorgside of the structures of about 80
other nations, with Austria on one side
and Turkey on the other. Our other
buildings will be annexed to the main
structures built by the French admin
istration and will be for exhibit pur-
poses only.
"These will include annexes to the
main agricultural building adjoining
the American section. an annex to the
manufacturers building in the Quin-
cenccs, an addition to the forestry
building, also to the merchant marine
building. in which water transporta-
ton models will be exhibited, with
our weather bureau, etc.
AT Nincennes we will build struc-
ture for American machinery in opera
ton and a building for our life-saving
service. We will divide with the French
exposition company the cost of the
building for railroad exhibit and for
automobiles. We secured n site upon
which orr bicycle manufacturers will
erect beautiful structure.
The Bots de Vincennes is about six
miles from the main grounds and will
be very accessible by railroads and by
the Seine river, connecting with tram
way for one mile. which latter route
will be known as the American route,
the boats and cars carrying the Ameri-
can flag. believe very large proper
ton of the visitors to the Paris expo
sition will go to Nincenpes, as it will
be made prominent and most attractive,
and the trip, especially tie river route,
will be delightful"
