Some time since we announced
that Prof. J. III. TAYLOR, who has for
the past four years been at the head
of our schools in this city, had been
employed as superintendent This
was wholly true. but it seems that
Prof Taylor had a string to his ac-
ceptauce. While the schools here
have received bis very best efforts as
a teacher aud superintendent, 1t is
quite we'll known to those who are
best posted upon such things, that
his salary here was not an adequate
compen sation for his ability and use

"DEATH in
THE POT"

Death in the pot" That sentence
condenses the story of a tragedy. A
little family gathering. A fine dinner
cooked in the large copper kettle long
disused, and the entire family poisoned
by the accumulated verdigris. The story
was told by the newspapers from one
end OF the land to the other. But il was
soon forgotten. The moral of 1t is, that
the purest of food, put into foul vessel,
instead of rninistering to life may be-
come minister of death.
IT the stomach is diseased it is like the
poisonous kettle, which taints everything
that goes into it. The symptoms are
irregular appetite, undue fulfness after
eating, distressed feeling in the stomach,
of f1uttering and sinking sensations, pal
pitation, dizziness, ringing in ears, sour or
bitter risings and constipation. Not all
these symptoms may be present at the
same time, but any of them shows dis
ease IN the digestive or alimentary tract.
The intimate relation of the stomach
to the blood, heart, liver and lungs
makes 1t medical maxim in EXPLORING
the causes of obscure diseases to " start
with the stomach" It is upon this
principle that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
Cal Discovery effects so many and such
remarkable cures. It cleanses the stofn-
ach and the system is cleansed. 1t in
creases the ACTON of the blood making
glands, and the body is enriched by the
purlhed blood. 1t strengthens the di-
gestive or nutritive organs and these
strengthen the whole body by increasing
the quantity and quality of its nourish-
ment. 1t carries of the poisonous, effete
matter. In this way It re-establisbes'
health, banishing the bodily aches, which
are but symptoms of the stonach's
condition.
All medicine dealers sell Golden

substitute something else, 1t is because
something else" pays better. Insist

BELMONT REPLIES TO BRYAN.
Declares He Never Voted for Repub-
lfcan Candidate.

Perry Belmont, who was in New York
last night, gave out the following letter in
reply to one received during the day from
Colonel William ]. Bryan:
Dear Sir: / have just received Your let
ter of the 10th instant, in which you de-
scribe those who declared in 1896 that your
election to the presidency on the Chicago
platform would endanger the nations well
fare as the republican allies who masuuer-
ade as democrats between campaigns in or
der to give more potency to their betrayal
of democratic principles on election day /"
MI Belmont then goes on to say that
before answering the unwarranted let
ter he had instituted a suit against a
New York newspaper on account of an al
legged libel, in which he was characterized
as "a higher-priced man than the fioater
who sells his vote for 81 on election day."
and continues:
Your purpose to be equally defamatory
is obvious. Your skill in the use of words
forbids the plea that in your letter you
misused them through ignorance The de-
sign is plain, and were it not that you
have interviewer in your abuse reference
to my opinions upon public questions as
opposed to your own, to the democratic
CLUB or which L am president and to its
proposed celebration of Jefferson's birth
day, 1 should have left your offensive
statements unanswered.
Democratic Club is Loyal.
''The Democratic Club Of New York has
membership of nearly 5000 democrats,
who all hold to the main principles of
democracy, while their opinions may vary
in regard to such political questions as are
not fundamental but merely local or tran
STORY, like many of the vain conceits you
have yourself espoused. But none of these
5000 members is republican. As for my
self, 1 never voted for a republican candi-
date for either a great or small Office.
THE board of governors and the presi-
dent of so large a democratic organization
eLdeavored to represent officially the wish
of the majority, which was that the coming
anniversary of the birthday of Jefferson
should be celebrated this year by the or
ganization as in previous years. To recall
those principles and traditions with which
his name is SO indelibly associated tends to
bring about a revival of democratic control,
which are not transitory.
ITO the explanation made to you that
Individual opinions have not been consid-
ered,' you replied that you do not under
stand how individual opinions can be ig-
nored in a political gathering
Then you proceed to contrast your cpin-
ions with mine, to emphasize their autag-
onism, and finally declare that you and 1
cannot with propriety join In a political
banquet given In honor Of democracy's pa

Might Have Evaded the Matter,

Il might plead a previous engagement as
reason for declining, but that would be
equivalent to saying that | would come but
for the engag cement, but frankness compels
me to add another reason. ] appreciate the
compliment which the Democratic Club
pays ME in extending an invitation, but
do not understand how individual opinions
can be ignored al political gathering. You
are the president of the club and represent
the club before the public Your position
upon public questions was well known in
1896, and your telegram indicates that your
position has not been changed. My position
upon public questions is also well known.
The antagonism between our opinions is so
great that we cannot with propriety join in
a political banquet given in honor of de-
mocracy's patron saint.
Jefferson stood for certain well-defined
principles. If your views are a correct re-
Election of his ideas, / fear that my voice
would sound dfscordant note at your
banquet. If, on the other hand, the Chi
cago platform applies (as 1 believe IL does)
then your conspicuous presence at the JEFF
fersonian banquet would honor the memory
or the worlds greatest democrat.
Their Difference One of Principle.
DO not misunderstood me. You may
be right and L may be wrong, but I take
1t for granted that we are equally conscien-
tious, and I trust that / may not show
myself less courageous than you. You
proclaimed to your fellow citizens in 1896
that my election upon a democratic plat
form would endanger the nations welfare.
You will pardon me if l suggest that a
banquet presided over by you will injure
rather than aid the democratic party.
Il believe in harmoniZing personal diff
ferences, but differences in principle can
not be harmonized, and, in my judgment.
no party advantage is to be derived from
political communion between Jeffersonan
democrats who stand upon the Chicago
platform and the republican allies who
masquerade as democrats between cam
paigns in order to give more potency to
their betrayal of democratic principles on
election day. Yours truly,
'W. J. BRYAN"
