A Philadelphia paper has been publishing
the. views Of some Of its citizens on the
possibilities of the coming century, and
among them is this interesting opinion:

century will be the establishment Of free
intercourse with the spirit world. The
twentieth century will rob death OF its
%terrors, the grave of it's mysteries" Dear,
dear; with this in prospect we shall all
want to live as long into the century as
possible. Or-come to think of it-shall we?
Do we really want to communicate with
the spirit world so much as some of us pre-
tend?

Help the Cause.

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed with the victory Of three years ago
it will seek by every means in its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By q
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.
The Chicago Dispatch is Endorsed by
William Jennings Bryan and other
democratic leaders.
