Typo as Ammunition.

At the time of the Maori war in New
Zealand a newspaper correspondent
had a strange experience. The pub
fishing Office of a newspaper was close
to the scene of some of the hottest
figb ding. During the struggle the
MaOris ran out of ammunition for their
guns, and, raiding the newspaper Of
fees, charged their guns with type and
stereo blocks. This novel ammunition
proved very effective. One Of the
white invaders was severely wounded
with a patent medicine advertisement
and another was crippled for life by q
church bazar announcement, and tho
editor, who had taken refuge with thu
British troops, had narrow escape
from being hit with one Of his OWE
poems.

Right after the war the Republicans
controlled. the politics Of many OF the
Southern states. This was done BY
means of rascally carpet-baggers and
ignorant negroes. They plundered
every state they controlled, and the
people drove them out and excluded
them from power for thirty years
Three years ago that party again go'
a foothold in the south by capturing
the state of Kentucky. Their first
reign in the South ended in universal
corruption and wholesale robbery
their last reign ended in cowardlJ
assassination. The Southern people
will be no more enamoured with re-
publican government now than they
were a generation ago. The Southern
Democrats are bad enough, God knows
but the Southern Republicans are in
finitely worse.

New York, Feb. 7-(Delaye< 81
Associated Press censors. )-Durnia the
banquet of the Society of the Gerases
ut Sherry's tonight, Mr.. Bryan s.pG nj.
carty entered the hall while Os'ssf r..
Williams, ex-consul at Manila. was
speaking on affairs in the Philippines.
Mr.. Williams defended the Philippine
policy of General Otis and President
Mckinley and closed with an appeal
to continue President Mckinley at the
helm of the state, assuring his hearers
that such helmsmen would bring the
ship to the port safe and sure. There
were loud cries for a speech from Mr..
Bryan and he finally arose and thanked
those assembled for the hearty recep-
tion. He said:
With some of the things the speak
er had just said heartily agree. When
he spoke of governing with the con-
sent of the people and by the people
and for the people and by the people,
I agree with him with all my heart.
But If he means that the people of the
philippines are to be taxed without
representation, then don't agree with
him. l have my own ideas of the des-
TIMES of this country, of what govern
ment Of the people, for the people, and
by the people means. Republicanism
rests upon the consent of the people. l
don't believe God ever created one
nation to cross the seas to seize and
govern another. l agree with the
speaker that we ought to plant the
seeds Of our form of government In
Iall parts of the world. But l cannot
Isee why we should try to give the
people OF the Philippines our form or
government, and if they refuse it shoot
them down, the reason this country
cannot speak out as it should in the
British-Boer war is because of our
Treatment of England for doing what

A Parable.

The Republican argument Is that IL
we don't steal the Philippines, some-
body else will, therefore, let us take
them first. A lady on Twenty-seventh
street had an apple tree loaded with
choice pippins. The boys ON Twenty
eight street said: Let us rob THAI
tree-the old lady has no gun and II
she had she couldn't shoot. The one
BRYAN boy in the crowd said, don't do
It. for 1t would be awful mean. A Nc
Kinley boy replied 1t is all right, for
If we don't get the pippins, those mean
boys down on Twenty-sixth street will
be sure to take them.

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal almost
omnipresent. Peruna is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh
out of its victims. Peruna not only
cures catarrh, but prevents it.

On Wednesday afternoon the city Of
ficials of Duluth and Superior, togeth-
err with a number of friends, went up
the st. Louis river where they spent
the day in general recreation.
Captain J. w. Mann was the host and
his little craft towed a large crowd
which contained the pleasure seekers.
The boat left at two o'clock, and, in
Guiding the families of the officials and
friends there were about 40 persons
on board. After a sojOurn through
Spirit Lake the boat landed at Zenith
Park, where all the party separated in
little groups and enjoyed their lunches.
The boat left for home at $3.50 p. m.
and everything passed off lovely. The
day was pleasant, the crowd happy and
everything tended to make the trip
very enjoyable.
Among those from Duluth in the par
ty were: Mayor T. w. Hugo, Chief

A FOUR.BIT PIECE.

1t is not often that the writer of
these few lines has a four bit
piece about his clothes, SO when
he does, it is an event of conse-
quence, involving serious and
blissful cogitation. The other eve
ming we had the good fortune to be
temporarily in possession of that
much wealth, and on critical ex-
animation found that our four-bit
piece was minted in 1853 which
made it AZ years Of age. This
set us to specializing on how many
glad hearts that four bit piece in
its Al years of circulation had
made. We estimated that it had
probably changed hands about
twice week, or 100 times year.
Upon this calculation it would
have visited and made happy not
less than 400 people, which was
Q very good showing for our
