Avenue Methodist church, Kansas

against the hats, and the Ladies

down. The men were mean enough
to say that it was because of the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deaf,
ness, and that's by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an
iuhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inf 'med you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in.
aamation 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
catarrah, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

yer movement of 1896 willing to waive
the ratio. and other questions of detail,
in order to bring about the party har-
mony which proved so effective in the
campaign of 1892. it follows as a matter
of course that state democratic conven-
tons can endorse the principles of the
Chicago platform, even when they vote
down every resolution in favor of free
coinage. To endorse the platform of a
national convention is merely to approve
the fundamental principles incorporated
therein, and does not imply the sanction
ing of the advice or directions which
may be given as to the methods through
which these fundamental principles
should be applied in case victory is at
tanned. The principles of jefferson are
invariably approved by democratic con-
ventions, though radical differences may
exist in their platform declarations as to
the way in which such principles shall
be made effective in national legislation.
From this standpoint Of reasoning the
action of the state democratic conven
ton in Pennsylvania is understood, when
it rejected by an overwhelming vote a
resolution declaring in favor of free coin
age at the ratio of Is to /, yet gave it's
APPROVAL to the principles Of the Chicago
platform. The attempt of the democratic
newspapers of the west to gather COM
fort from such endorsements of the Chi
cago platform is decidedly far-fetched.
No intelligent silver man can be deceived
by such If the national de-
mocracy in 1900 wishes to be understood
as standing o n the financial question
where it did in 1896 it will in plain and
unmistakable terms declare in favor of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
and gold, at a ratio of Is to 1, by the in
dependent action of this ation-not con-
fine itself to a general approval of the
principles of the Chicago platform, which
would mean merely that it had retreated
to the policy Of 1S92-a policy which
means bimetallism in the abstract and
nothing in the concrete, the shadow with
out the substance.

views as to the merits of the conflict in
which it is involved.
Yet the leaders of the national democ-
racy-men who prate about the welfare
of the country and who pretend to be-
lieve in majority rule-are today doing
all within their power to discredit the
nation in it's prosecution of the war in
the Philippines, and encourage the enc
my by expressions of sympathy and ap-
plause. The war meets the approval of
the administration which was placed in
power to represent the majority of the
American people. and it's merits must he
measured-not by the visionary theories
Of scheming politicians. but by the prac-
teal results of the future. The demo-
cratic leaders are not only guilty of
moral treason against the republic, but
they do violence to the principle Of ma
jority rule. Next year the voters of this
country will intlict the penalty. .

Ex-Governor Altgeld, who has had
some experiences of his own in a small
way in Chicago, Immediately took up
arms in defence Of the seceders, and ex-
pressed the hope that Goebel would be
beaten in the interests of the free coinage
movement. But Colonel Bryan, who like
wise has had some experience with bolt
ers, felt that he must improve the oppor-
tunity to go on record against such move-
ments. So he came to the parting of the
ways with Altgeld, on the Kentucky
question, and is now doing what he can
to promote the interests of Goebel.
The battle goes merrily on, and what
ever the outcome may be Kentucky will
make things interesting in the next ma
tional democratic convention. The party
feud will not nj with The Fall election.
