Extract from w. j. Bryan's
Speech in Kentucky
Danger of imperialism.

I believe that the Republican policy
Of Imperialism is danger and men,
ace to our principles of government,
and l believe that now is the time
when the American people must speak
out against the doctrine of imperial
ism. Do you thirst for the glories OF
an empire? l point you to the history
of this republic for the last 100 years,
and tell you l would not trade the
glory of this republic for the glory of
all the empires that have risen and
fallen since time began. (Applause.)
If you defend imperialism on the
ground that it will pay, tell you, you
can not settle great questions upon
that basis but if you could, you could
not prove that materialism would be
beneficial to the mass of the people.
You can not afford to drag the ques-
ton of the nations policy down to the
low basis of dollars and cents; neither
can you afford to establish the doc
trine that this nation is going to go
forth and civilize with the cannon and
proselyte with the sword. (Applause.)
Do not lay this war of conquest upon
the Almighty. A Republican senator
said that the Lord was in 1t, that He
opened the door of the Philippine is
lands, pushed us in and shut the door.
Uaughter.) Who told him SOP Who
has authority to reveal the plans Of
the Almighty?
A. Voice-Mark Hanna
Mr.. Bryan-Who has authority to
tell us that God has commanded us to
engage in a war of conquest? believe
in God. believe in His influence over
the thoughts and purposes of men, but
you can not undertake to blame God
for every purpose that every man has
or for every purpose that even a party
may have. II l feel in my heart an
impulse to take money out of my own
pocket and give it to some one in dis
tress, will trace the impulse to God;
but II feel in my heart an impulse to
put my hand into somebody eise's
pocket, and get his money for my use,
/ will not lay it on the Almighty.
daughter and applause.) There is
another old fellow that I will lay it
on. daughter and applause.)
am afraid the Republican party has
adopted the philosophy of the colored
man of whom l once read who was
very fond of chicken, but not always
careful about the observance of the
commandments. He said that when
he prayed the Lord to send chicken
TO him the Lord seldom did it; but
when he prayed the Lord to send him
after a chicken, he nearly always got
it, daughter and applause.) I be-
lieve the Republican party has prayed
the Lord to send it after a chicken
(laughter), and it is trying now to
cover up greed and avarice with the
hypocrisy that it is being done for the
welfare of the people of the Philippine
islands.

Left No Space.

A report has gone out from Frank
fort to the effect that the Brownies
are very much dissatisfied over the
arrangement of the official ballot by
Republican Secretary of State Finley.
As arranged, the ballot does not con-
tain square around the party device,
and no space is left for the voter TO
mark his choice. Judge Bulitt called
on Secretary Finley, but was informed
that the error would have to be COR
rected by the County Clerks.
1t is evident the Republican Secre-
tary of State was OF the opinion that
by so arranging this device it would
force the followers of Brown to stamp
under the log cabin, but KeDtuckians
not being of the driving kind, will
more likely vote the regular ticket by
stamping under the rooster.
County Clerks will be requested to
have the device corrected, but since
they, on account of the strictness of
the law, will act in accord with in
structions of the Secretary of State,
there will be but few changes.

aloft yells of defiance and shouts of joy,
Sam Hose, a negro, who committed
two of the basest acts known to crime.
was burned at the stake in a spot IL
miles from here during the afternoon.
Before the torch was touched to the
pyre the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. The negro pleaded pitifully
for his life while the mutilation was
going on, but stood the ordeal of fire
with surprising fortitude Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The mob was COM
posed of citizens of Newman, Griffin.
Palmetto and other little towns in the
country round about Newman and of
yll the farmers who had received word
that the burning was to take place.
Before being put to death the negro
stated that he had been paid $12 by
Lige Strickland, negro preacher at
Palmetto, TO kill Crawford.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.--A telephone

which lynched Strickland, the colored
preacher, captured Albert Sewall, a
negro, who expressed himself to the eff
feet that the death of every negro
should be avenged, and put him to
death. The mob is said to be still on
the hunt for negroes, and it is probable
that two more will be lynched.
PALMETTO, Ga, April 25.-The body
of Lige Strickland, the negro implicat-
ed by Sam Hose in the killing of AL
fred Crawford, was found swinging to
the limb of tree about one mile from
town. The ears and fingers were cut
off and on the body was pinned
placard bearing these words:
'We must protect our Southern

Strickland was negro minister, 60
years of age. Sam Hose, just as the
torch was about to be applied to the
pile of wood under him, admitted kill
ing Alfred Crawford, but said that

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, ana 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 cgused by catarrh, which is
nothinS but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-In a report
to the secretary of war DR.. Victor S.
Clark, sub-director of public instruc-

month can be offered to American
teachers with transportation to the isl
and from New York. The English

through them it is hoped to weed out
abuses and develop some system of con.

course of study containing only such
subjects as are taught in Americans
schools.
AS understood in this country there is
no system of higher education in Port
Rico. The public schools are
Kept Open Twelve Months

In summer only morning sessions arc
held. There is no co-education of the
sexes. No schoolhouses exist on the
island, the schools usually being held at
the residences of the teachers. Only a
part of the pupils have text books. In
many cases the pupils take to the
schools the chairs which they occupy.
The pupils study aloud. About 525
schools are reported in the island and
little over $500, 900 is annually paid for

Hogs and Black Snakes Kill the Ven

The two greatest enemies of the rat

hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug

is intensely rapid. The latter will cir
Gle around his foe and with sudden
dart grasp the venomous reptile by the
neck, so that it has no chance to use
its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze
it to death. A hog, especially if fat.
suffers no danger from the rattlesnake.
He will march boldly up to the coiled
reptile, allow himself to be struck in
his jowls once, twice or three times, as
the case may be, and will then calmly
proceed to swallow the reptile without
concern. The reason for the hogs i'm
munity is due to the fact that the blood
vessels are SO minute and infrequent on
his cheeks, where fat is predominant,
that they fail to take up the poison and
carry it through the porcine system.
Hogs have been used in droves to clear
some of the islands Of the southern seas
Of poisonous reptiles and have proved
successful.
I By remembering two simple facts any
one can distinguish poisonsous serpent
from a harmless one. The venomous
reptile invariably possesses triangular
~ shaped head and blunt nose, while
his tail is correspondingly blunt and
stubby. Any snake that tapers smooth
ly from the middle of it's body to the tip
of its nose and to the tip of its tail as
well, growing slender in gradual and
regular manner, is absolutely devoid of
venom.-New York Press.
