GENERAL wEAvER's ADDRESS.
He Discussed "Imperialism" I'm the
Criminal Court Room.

AS a finale to the fusion Populist conven-
ton General Weaver spoke on Imperial
ISM in the Criminal Court room last night.
The seats were arranged in wide aisles
back of the railing of the jury box and
about half of them were occupied. In the
audience were eight women. Flavius j.
Van Vorhis leader of the free silver Re-
publicans. called the meeting to order and
introduced General Weaver. The first hour
of his speech was on his subject and the
financial question, and the last half hour
was devoted exclusively to the title of his
address. To begin his argument he read
from a number of works on the Constitu-
ton of the United States. which he carries
in satchel. bearing upon the right Of the
government to govern. He said that he is
a cross between a Boer and Filipino and
declared that his half brother, the Fill
pino. is capable of self-government.
Dewey says the Filipinos are capable of
self-government," remarked the general,
land what are you going to do about
Dewey? He says the Filipino is even
more capable of self-government than the
Cuban. Continuing he said: MY broth
ers, We'll run them off of the stump If they
take sup this question and attempt to bring
IL before the American people.
III speaking OF the integrity, honesty anu
virtues of the Filipino General Weaver
quoted friend as saying Manila was a
clean city until immoralities were brought
into its limits by the American soldier, and
that prior to the advent of the American
army there was no drunkenness in the
archipelago. He said he fought in the war;
but that he had taken vow that so far as
his ability is concerned "Old Glory shall
never float over land that is not free"
He said the Filipino had already been
Christianized. but he wants to be free. and
that il made his heart bleed to hear Metho-
dist bishops speak of extending civilization
with the sword. guns and KragJorgensen
rifles. He said he sincerely hoped that
there was not one in the audience who,
when he knelt at his bedside at night to
pray, woul say o God. preserve me and my
children and give us our rights as free men
% God, help our administration to take
away the rights of the Filipino.

Crops In Nebraska.

There is broad smile on the face
of nearly every farmer in Nebraska,
because of the satisfactory crop con-
ditions in that remarkable state. In
the northwest, drought has seriously
injured the wheat yield. In the
south again there has been more or
less damage, but in Nebraska they
have had seasonable, heavy rains.
and not too much of them.
A full crop of oats and wheat will,
from present indications, be followed
by bumper crop of corn. During
the past week heavy rains all over the
state have put this crop in fine con-
dition, and it may break the record.
The expectation is that great num-
bers of people will go to Nebraska
this fall, when the cheap harvest ex-
cursion rates are in effect. to investi-
gate the country and confirm by act
ual experience the stories of prosperity
so often heard. The tendency is on
the part of renters, everywhere in
the east. to seek homes beyond the
Missouri river. where land is cheap
and so very productive.

THE words of Chinese Gordon to
friend 20 years ago have a curiously
prophetic sound in the light of pres
emit events. Although Gordon's name
is now inseparably linked with Khar-
toum, where he persisted, it is to be
remembered that he won his first
fame in China. From 1868 to 1865 he
commanded the Ever Victorious"
army that crushed the Tapping rebel
lion. To this friend Gordon said that
what Europeans would have to con-
slider was the awful consequences of a
general movement when least expect
ed, in the vast inert mass of hundreds
Of millions of men to overwhelm the
foreign devils whom they hated. The
danger of such an outburst, Gordon
said, became greater every year on
account of the way European states
were harrassing the Chinese with de-
mands for various compensations.
Eventually, he believed. the govern
ment would secure improved weapons
and organize an army that would pre-
vent any more military promenades
by a few hundred foreign troops
through the country. The recent ex-
perience of the expedition under Vice
Admiral Seymour has fulfilled the last
prophecy to the letter.

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 for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation u undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need q
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. II.
