If Bryan Were President.

II Bryan were President, what
would happeng This eau only be sur
missed from what happens when Mr..
Bryan is only a candidate for Presi-
dent. In this light, there would be
no doubt about what would hap
pen were Mr.. Bryan President.
First, we would have Mr.. Bryan do
ing all he could to defeat the gold
standard and create the free silver
standard, claiming that his election
meant reversal of the sentiment of
the country on the money question,
and undermining confidence and Gre
ating business scares. We would
then see the gold Democrats begging
him to desist and imploring the Re
publicans in Congress to save them
from the frightening effects of Bryan
in the White House.
We would see the Southern Demo
Gratis begging and imploring Mr..
Bryan to cease his anti-expansion
rant and schemes, and quit opposing
the south's only avenue to CONNER
cial regeneration and salvation.
We would see the Southern cotton
growers begging Bryan to change his
announced Chinese policy because in
the markets of China lies the only
future for cotton, and, in the future
of cotton only, as in the past, rests
the prosperity of the Southern
states.
In fact, in nearly all things, there
would go up from the Democratic
heart an agonizing cry of Don't
There would be rush of Democrats
to the Republicans to save them from
the consequences of their folly in
electing Bryan, and the country
would be treated to the spectacle of
the Democrats who are opposing Re-
publican policies and principles and
/ acts, (much of the opposition only on
the ground that they are Repub-
licans) opposing the things they sub
stituted for them. 1t is vastly better
for the Democrats, because it is vast
ly better for the whole country, to
let things remain as they are.

4 Community Matter.

In this season OF bountiful crops, in
this, the gaden spot of the world,
where the earth brings forth her gifts
in glorious and generous profusions,
there should certainly be found
enough to spare morsel fort he starv-
ing, dying millions in that sun
scorched land far across the sea.
There should be some sort of a sub
stantial response to the efforts being
made by few people here to secure
subscriptions for relief fund. Its "a
question over which argument is I'M
necessary. The mere fact that sixty
million people are starving and the
pitiful sum of two cents will save a
live for day, is sufficient to cause
any we'll thinking person to act
promptly and with no niggardliness
of spirit. An effort has been made in
a desultory sort of a way in the past
to arouse the comm unity in this mat
ter, but the response has been any
thing but satisfactory. A special
effort is now being made and no one

To n far greater extent than usual
this years election is going to be a
test of good sense, the intelligence
and sense of the American people.
There is not fair minded, honest
and intelligent jury in the world but
would decide upon truthful presen-
tation of the facts, that the interests
of the American people require the
continuance of the Republican party
in power.
The vast body of voters who will
cast their ballots next November is
such jury, and there is no danger
that it will be misled by the efforts of
Democratic conventions, speakers or
newspapers to befog its mind and to
misstate the facts as they exist.
And that is why President McKin-
ley will be reelected.

SINCE the 4th of March, 1897, Con-

Of fortynine ships, with total dis
placement of PAS, 484 tons. This in
cludes eight battleships of the first

ampled record, and it could only have
been accomplished by Republican

William Jennings Bryan is more
then the candidate of his party. He
is the party. Democracy must, there
fore, stand or fall as measured by the
test of Organism. The platform has
been conformed to Bryan, and to
that end the past policies of the
Democratic party have been cut and
carved to suit the Nebraskan contigu-
ration. There is very much that is
attractive and admirable in Mr..
Bryan's personality; but he is not a
Democrat. He is Populist. His
election would be triumph of social
istic tendencies in so far as he should
be able to impress himself upon the
legislation of the country.

Vyhy Mckinley Will Win.

President Mckinley will win in the
coming Presidential election because
his candidacy is in accordance with
the spirit of American institutions
and of American progress, and also
because he represents the material in
terests of the American people.
The Democracy is on the wrong
side, it is on the improbable side and
it is on the untruthful side.
There is not one of the main issues
presented by the Democracy upon
which it ought to win, and there is
no better proof Of this than the fact
that it does not state any one of these
issues fairly, clearly and honestly.
What a tissue of fraud and misrep-
resentation is the cry of imperialism.
There is no imperialist in this repub-
lie. The Republican administration
is working out the problems which
have been brought before it with rare
skill and success. The difficulties are
great, the dangers are many, but fail
ures are few. In the great majority
of cases it is doing not only the right
thing, but the only thing possible I'M
der the circumstances.
And under the general title of I'm
perialism,n there is a lot of minor is
sues upon which the attitude of the
Democracy is just as unreasonable
and just as insincere as upon the
main point. What utter folly to ex-
alt Aguinaldo as patriot; what ig-
norance to claim that the Filipino
nation" is fighting for its liberty;
what disregard for facts in denounc-
ing the civil government of Porto
Rico as an injustice and cruelty to
that island. What demagoguery
there is in picking up every trivial
shortcoming of administration, the
small amount of spoiled supplies, the
defalcation of a post Office subordinate
in Cuba, the rash act of some lieu
tenant in Luzon, and making these the
basis for an attack upon the charter
and the honor of the American War
Department or the people of this coun-
try.
In the attitude of the Democratic
party toward the trusts the same in
sincerity is apparent. They are fer
tile in wholesale denunciation and
threats, but they propose nothing
that is practicable and that would
stand the tests of court decisions.
The careless who would take their in
vectives at face value might suppose
that Democratic success would be fol-
lowed by the Establishment of trusts
from the land, if he did not stop to
think that such Il wholesale revolu-
ton of economic conditions and meth
DDS is impossible, and if it were
possible it would be destructive to
the calamitous beyond measure. But
Democratic speeches and platforms
are not intended for the voters who
stop to think.
The attitude of the Democratic par
ty on financial matters is absolutely
insincere. The members of the party
are greatly at variance upon this i'm
portant matter, and it is impossible
for them to present coherent and
honest policy. To the West they
must present a silver shield with a
steady disregard of facts and posi-
bilities; to the East the silver side
must be carefully concealed or treat
ed as of small Importance; while at
the same time the Populists must be
consolidated with tolerance of their
fantastic theories of an irredeemable
paper currency and the uselessness of
metallic money of any kind.

BAPTIST CONVENTION
This Grea. Body of Religious People
 to Meet at Hot Springs.

On next Friday the Southern Bap- tist Convention will convene in the city of Hot Springs. This is great compliment to Arkansas, as the Southern Baptist Convention is the greatest body of religious people that meet in convention in the world.
 We would be glad if many of our people could attend and see the grand convention of learned men maLy Of whom are governors, judges of fthe supreme court, bankers, and business men and ablest D. D.s in the land. The convention will not be ruled, except by a vote of the members. We all understand that the Baptists stand for democratic rule--a rule by the people or rather by the membership. We may not wonder at the great power and strength Of the Baptist when we re- fleet that Mir. Bancroft in his "Histo- ry of the United States calls atten- ton to the fact that Thomas Jeffer- son obtained his first ideas of Re publican form of government from a little Baptist church in Virginia.

An Ancient Belief.

The ancients believed that rheu- matism was the work of q demon withina man. Any one who has had aK attack of sciatic or intlam- matory rheumatism will agree that the infiiction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pam Balm would cast out demons, but it will cuse rheumatism and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times it's cost. For sale by V. l.. Dewoody < Co.,, druggists.
