their rights and the only conserver of
their happiness on this earth OF ours.
Nj. Bryan has affected much sollcitude
for what he is pleased to term the
common people" This hypocrisy has
often been unmasked. The intelligent
worklngmen cannot be insulted with
impunity, and frequently has the as
sumptive impertlnence OF the Demo-
cracy been rebuked at their hands.
The Massachusetts Democrats in
their state convention after condemning
everything they could think Of finally
reached out to far of Idaho and In
serted another 1--WE condemn" plank in
their platform. 1t was so sympatheti-
cally worded that 1T would have
brought tears to the eyes Of coxey. In
the main it denounced "a Democratic
platform always denounces) the pres
ence Of United States troops in the
Occur d'Alene mining district of Idaho,
where strike attended by murder and

world to the situation as an illustration

worllngmen in time Of labor dlssen-
slons."
Now comes Governor steunenberg, Of
Idaho, who is Democrat, and who
was elected by fusion Of PopulIsss and
Democrats, who punctures the shallow
demagogery Of the Massachusetts, DEM
ocrats in one fell blow in a letter, in
which he gays: 1.-THE state of idaho is
responsible for all that has been done
in shoshone county relative to the call
for troops, the arrest, detention and
care Of prisoners, the regulations under
which the mines can and have been
operated from the time OF the InsuFrec-
ton up to the present time. and the
regulation of all matters con-
corning the employment Of men IN

The Bay State Democrats have not
only made themselves supremely rIdic-
ulous, but have given another evidence
Of the unlimited capacity of the party

Southern Awakening.

The southern Democrats are begin
ming to realize the destructive course
the party is pursuing under the teach
ings Of Bryan, who is forever Haunting
the ghostly banner of imperialism. Sem
ator Morgan, of Alabama, combatted
the drifting Of his party on the Philip
pine question from the very start. Ex-
Governor Hogg, of Texas, as was noted
in the IntellIgencer the other day, has
waxed wrothy over the imbeclls policy
the Democrats are pursuing. Now
comes Senator McLaurin. Of South Car
olina, who is very pronounced NJ his
views with regard to the retention Of
the Pacific islands. In letter address
ed to the cotton manufacturers OF his
state, replying to one they had written
him urging the Importance OF securing

permanent entry to China, he refers to
the pre-emlnence of the Philippines In
the problem as follows:

The story printed in several metropol
ltan journals that an envoy of Aguln-
aldo Is now in London on his way to
washington. where he viii present new
terms for ending the hostilitIes in the
Philippines can be taken with many
grains of allowance. Should the Presi-
dent entertain any overtures from this
source 1t would be a virtual acknowl-
edgement of a Filipino government,
which has all along been claimed does
not exist. The FIRST thing AguInaldo
will have to do will be to lay down his
arms, and then talk about terms, Otis
refused to treat with emissarles sent
by the alleged Filipino congress. but
intimated that he might have some
thing to say to any one representing
Agulnaldo as the general commander of
the lnsurgent army. In this position
he was without doubt acting In accord
with the views of the government at
washington.

Their Audience.
Chicago Inter ocean; A man and
woman, giving their names as Rice,
visited jamestown. N. z. about a week
ago. and, representing themselves as
evangellsts, secured quarters at the
clearinghouse of Mrs. j. c. Hum
phrey. The man sung in the streets,
and when a crowd was attracted the
woman would preach. She attacked exc
listing institutions with surprising au-
dacity, and managed to secure good
collection at each meeting. She was so
violent in her abuse Of the clergy,
churches and capitalists, that the au-
thoritles compelled her to desist. After
the couple had left 1t was found that
THE Humphrey boarding-house had
been robbed Of many valuables. A war
rant is out for the arrest of the evange-
lists.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rice were familiar
figures to pedestrians who passed the
corner Of Broadway and Twenty-sixth
streets, New York, at times during the
summer months. Nearly every evening
the couple held the attention Of crowd
at this corner, and the contributions
they received were generally liberal.
The man told his listeners that he was
Texan and had spent much OF his
time on cattle ranges, but had aban.
doHed that vocation to assist his COM
panion In Saving souls" He is six
feet tall, well proportioned, and some
what resembles William F. Cody. He
wore a sombrero and had a pleasant
contralto voice. It was his songs that
attracted the crowds. Mrs. Rice, al
though illlterate. was a good talker.
She was apparently about thirty-elght
years Of age. She was so prosperous
during the last two months of her stay
in New York that she could afford tail
or-made clothes, although when she
first appeared In the street her attire
was at times shabby. She said she was
working in the interest of the true gos-
pei of Jesus Christ, and that the money
subscribed would be used in the interest
Of degraded men and women. Her APP
peals generally met with satisfactory
response. but on one occasion, when
they did not, Mrs. Rice exclaimed:

Strange Star Clusters.

Among the remarkable recent
discoveries of the Harvard Col>
lege observatory is that of the
existence of many variable stars
IN four well~known star clusters
in the southern hemisphere, the
most celebrated of which is the
one called Omega Centauri.
The latest observations show
that no less than three hundred
and ninety variable stars are
contained in these clusters, and
therc may be many more. 1t
seems sufficiently remarkable
that these stars should be as
sembled in such swarms - for in
some of the clusters these ale
almost innumerable-but the
interest is greatly heightened by
the discovery that so many Of
them are unsteady in their Ii sht,
alternately flaring up and dying
down in one another's presence,
like Pickering torches in the
night of space.
