Why 1t Will Win.

ss~Ss1sss&SSs>
On the whole the chances
for a Democratic victory appear
good enough to infuse all needful
courage and enthusiasm into the
campign for the Constitution
against the trusts. Platform and
candidates are of character to
inspire confidence. The party is
more harmonious and united than it
has been in years. Its opponen; is
less SO than has been the case in a
long time. Outwardly the iron dis
cipline of Hanna secures the appear
ance of an unbroken front; but
there is deep-seated trouble behind
the scenes. The middle Western
Republicans are still angry over
Porto Rico, and Mr.. McKinley's
departure from sour plain duty" in
violation of the Constitution. The
harboring of escaped fugitives from
justice under indictment for capital
offenses by Republican governors,
is resented by decent men in the or
ganization, and there are other riffs
within the Hanna machine lutte
which, properly encouraged and
wedged open, ought to make
triumph of the American people
over their enemies at the polls in
November, a matter not of proba-
bility, but of certainty.

the American 1eGationsrs--on the
the ground that there was no Estate
Of war" between this country and
China. the @meute being merely a
rebellion which passed for time
out OF the Chinese governments
control. Seventy millions and more
Of Americans would feel such an
arrangement as . stain on the ma
tional character, and would de-
mand that, state Of war or no state
of var. keen and condign retribu
ton be inflicted ON the Celestials.
But the suggestion of such COW
ardly arrangement IS probably the
work Of an enemy of the. admins
tsation and has NO foundation in
fact. What we have to do is to
hurry troops with all available ex-
petition to China, and to hurry
them there in large numbers. Two
or three regiments are of no use for
the work ahead of US and the Euro
pean powers. Twenty or thirty
thousand of the United States
troops now in the Philippines
should be at once transported to
raku, and be IN readiness to join
the rest of the army of invasion
when, six or eight weeks hence, il
marches to administer to the Chi
nese the punishment which they SO
richly deserve.
There can be no thought of com.
pensation; nothing but fierce and
swift vengeance will atone for the
diabolical massacres and outrages
of which the yellow fends have
been guilty.

G/YE Us Il REST.

Now comes DR.. Francisque
Cro,ie, of Paris, with some very
CHASTITY statistics on consumption.
The learned gentleman is authority
for the statement that one-haIf the
population of the United States are
infected with tuberculosis. Says
DR.. Crotte:
is really known-that is to say, that it has
taken development and is spreading with
alarming proportions. To look at the stats
tics in Europe is enough to give us shud-
der when we see that in England. espe-
cially in London, about IS per cent of the
population are suffering from this terrible
scourge; in Russia. 30 per cent; in Ger
many, about IS to 40 per cent; in France,
80 to 40 per cent; in Italy and Spain, s. to
40 per cent, and in America, so per cent.
The publication of statistics and
the contagious character of COZ
sumption have greatly alarmed
skittish folk and as a consequence
fanatic al sanitarians have proposed
some Of the most radical measures.
A scientific writer in the Sanitarian
suggests that it would be proper to
appoint a committee in each county
to physically examine every citizen
and take measures to protect the
healthy portion Of the community
Some months ago panicky doctor
in California proposed that that
State establish strict quarantine
against persons afflicted with con-
sumption. Another fellow wanted
TO subject all matrimonial asPirants
to severe physical examination.
Other measures equally ridiculous
have been proposed in other States.
Without wishing to- be understood
as offering our opinion in opPosi-
ton to the scientific judgme of
learned scientists we are inclined
60 think that little common sense
and less talk about microbes

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale OF any medicine In the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else tor Indigestion or
Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration of
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
Indigested food, regulate the ac-
tis'n of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with

On Which Side?

Teddy Roosevelt, the Republi-
can candidate for vice-president, Is
not only = great fighter but is an
author Of distinction. All are
familiar with his celebrated hook,

ing only one of the many wonder
ful things done by this fearless New
Yorker while leading the unterrifed
hosts into the very Jaws of death.
1t appears that Roosevelt has un-
dertaken to write about the life and
character of Thomas Benton and in
the truth as well as he did in his
story of the Cuban campaign.
OF course in writing what he didn't
know about Thomas Benton, Roose-
welt could not resist the temptation
to repeat a number of SANDERS
against Jefferson Davis and other
Southern men. So long as Roosevelt
confined his literary efforts to the
stupendous task of convincing the
world of his greatness no one Sc
7r,ously objected to his INDUCING in
SO harmless Past-time, but when
he stoops to the level of common
traducer and malevolently invades
the tomb to resurrect vile aud in
decent ISLANDERS he meets with the
indignant Reproduction of truth

On the 18th, 1000 of the allied
troops. consisting of Russians,
French, Americans, British and

as no force was ever known to meet
with from Celestials before With

aim-the Chinese poured such
hail of death upon the storming

make a retreat to Taku. They un-

Candidate Bryan accuses tne
Republican party of putting the aoA-

Mr.. Bryan is right. The kepuD-
lican party, by adhering CONSISTENT
1y to the policy Of giving Protection
to American industries and thus Sc
curing plenty of work at good "ag-
es to American workmen, has put
the dollar before the man-rlght dl-
rectly before him where he can get
hold of it. The saving bank rec
ords during the last three years and
half of Protection prove that the

slow in gathering together the dol

IMPERIALISM IMPOSSIBLE.

Among the provisions of the Fed
eral Constitution which bear upon
this matter is paragraph twelve of
section eight, article one, which
among other things gives Congress
power, - o r. 90 IL. =
s ~ TO raise and support armies,
But no appropriation of money to
that use shall be for a longer term
than two years"
Thus the people through their
representatives in Congress have
complete and absolute control over
the army. They hold the purse
and in so doing they hold the
sword. = Imperialism in the sence
in, which Mr., Bryan uses the term,
is an impossibility. The Constitu-
ton prevents it. Imperialism with
out an army or an army without
money to pay and support it is a
uagary Of Democratic imagination.
We can never have any more i'm.
perialism in this country than the
people s.see fit to authorize from
time to time. Whenever they wish
to modify or reduce our. military
strength or activity, the matter rests
wholly with the people. Even

HOW TO SAVE SCHOOL-CHILDREN.

In the October Lad1eS' Home
Journal Edward Box takes up the
cudgel again against the examining
methods inflicted on school children
and urges as a step toward a reform
Of the abuse that every parent who
has, a child at school will send a
note to the teacher that, under no
circumstances whatever, will the
father and mother permit any home
study by the child, 49,,
This may seem to be very sim
pie thing to do he contends, ",but
often the simplest things are most
effective. . If the teachers of this
country should, within the next
month, receive thousands of notes
from parents to the effect pointed
out, which they could-and I, can
speak for hundreds of teachers when
l say that they would gladly do so
hand to the heads of their schools,
it would practically mean read
ljustment Of the entire system Of
study. This may be better under
stood when it is realized that the
entire system Of study during
Eschoo1 hours in many of the schools
is so arranged as to allow for some
of the work to be done by the PIT
pills at home. Let this taken for
| granted home study be stopped,
and change would at once have tc
Ebe made. The studies at school
cannot be increased in number, fol
Iarready there are to many. The
school hours cannot be heightened
because the tide has set in to short
ensthem. Hence, some studies would
1have to be thrown out, if home
study were eliminated, And this
| is the result desired"
