Change OF Front Means Defeat.
That there is strong effort be-
ing made to substitute some other
than the money question as the
leading issue in the platform of
the Democratic party must be APP
parent to everybody. The Demo
orats wLo defeated the election of
William j. Bryan, either by voting
for William Mckinley. or by sup
porting the so.called gold Demo
cratic ticket, are at the head of this
movement and are fully aided and
abetted by the entire Republican
press and party leaders. The sue
cess of this effort means the inevi-
table defeat of the Democratic par
ty and the full triumph of the gold
standard, bank money policy, to
which the Republican party stands
pledged.
There is no room in this country
for two gold-standard parties, and
the party in power has the full sup
port of the money power Three
fourths certainly moro than one
half of the six million voters for free
silver in 1896, would refuse to fol-
low the Democratic leadership that
would betray the traditions of the
party and tho declarations of it's
platform in 1896, and the over

B. Fay nIilIs Speaks out.


roast from the celebrated evange-
list, Rev. B. Fay Mills. In an adj
dress at Boston theater few days
ago Mr.. Mills took occasion to
speak his sentiments very vigorous
ly on imperialism. 1t shows the
trend of thought among the best
intellects of the country. Follow
ing is an extract from Mr.. Mills
address:
"The time has come for the peo-
pie to speak with no uncertain
sound. [ regard this war against
the Filipinos as the greatest Grim
inal blunder of our oountry's his
tory. We have made other mis-
takes, but nothing 30 colossal as
this. There is no reasonable excuse
for it. Practical justice and sym
pathy would have made it impossi-
BILE; half the consideration we have
shown Cuba, would have postponed
violence indefinitely, even kindly
official messages might have prs-
vented our shame. y While
1 do not depreoiate the mobility of
our officers and soldiers performing
their unwelcome task. l would rath-
er take my chances of immortal
honor with the massacred patriots
of the armyof Aguinaldo than with
our brothers who are Staying them
under what used to be the starry
symbol of freedom from oppression
and the independence of II nation
for unwelcome government of ty-
rants of another land. M [ say
to President Mckinley that he can
not honorably shrink from active
responsibility longer, that his adj
ministration will be glorious or in
famous as he settles this Philippine
question in accordance with bur
baric principles or the spirit of
human brotherhood. Must we go
shame faced and red handed, to the
conference at The Hague, traitors
to our selves and humanity? No,
thousand times no. 1t isnct yet
too late to be kind and just. Let
us pay our Philippine allies as we
pay the Cuban soldiers. Let us
welcome their chiefs as brother
councillors with respect and honor
Let us confess our grief, our error
and shame"

A feature of the April issue of
Harper's Magazine which is de-
serving of special notice is the
work of the artists who have illus
trated the current installment of
"The Spanish American War;" by
Henry Cabot Lodge. Rufus Fair
child Zogbaum contributes two full
page drawings which iare fully up
to the standard which has won
for him an international repu-
tation as a war artist. "Cutting
the Cables under Fire at Cieunfe-
gos," is especially to be praised, as
it gives a mcstlifelike presentation
of one of the bravest deeds of the
whole war. The other illustration
by Mr.. Zogbaum shows "The Land

Story OF a Slave,

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters. she is wonderfully improv-
cd and able to- do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, DackRche,
fainting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by G..
