:" or course. as is well known, that pro-
test was unaavlling. 1t was then that
Bryan made the speech that nominated
him., ending with this rhetorical fight:
I'VE shall answer their demand for the
gold standard by saying to them: You
shall not press down upon the brow Of
labor this crown of thorns. You shall
not cruelty mankind upon a cross Of
gold Among the sixteen protesting
Democrats was David Bennett Hill, Of
New York. He was ominously silent
during the campaign four years ago.
This year he thought he saw some hope
of killing off free silver. and journeyed
TO Kansas City to use his powers of per-
suasion on the members Of the commit
tee on resolutions. But this same man
whom he refused to support in 1896 was,
II anything, more powerful in 1900. and
with the 'dogmatlc air Of dictator In
sisted on the reailirmation of the free
coinage Of silver, else he would not be a
candidate. Bryan's position was amply
fortified in the following plank that was
adopted by the Kansas City gathering,
as follows:
We rcaflirm and indorse tho principles
OF l. the national Democratic platform
adopted Mt Chicago In 1896 and we reltcrate
the dtmand OF that platform for an Amer
lean ifluancial system. made by the Amer
lean people for themselves. which shall re-
'storesand maintain L bimetalllc price level,
and as part OF such system the immediate
restoration OF the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold Mt the present ratio

So,he stands before the people to-day
committed to his pet fallacy In stronger
language than he did four years ago.
Mr.. Hill, however, is not pursuing the
consistent course he did in 1896. Worse
than. all he fairly grovelled before the
most corrupt boss this country has ever
known for the purpose OF making good
his party regularity this year, and the
years to come. With these facts before
them we do not see how the people who
hear Hill talk now can place any conf
dence.:in his pleas for the election Of

KIND WORDS AND DEEDS.

To speak a kindly word of CON-
mendation or encouragement may
be very little thing for you but
a very helpful thing to the one to
whom it is spoken. Never a day
passes without bringing you op-
portunities for such service to
others. Does a day ever pass
without you improving such an
opportunity? If SO, you have
reason to reproach yourself with
the omission, and others have
reason to regret your failure. In
asmuch as you did it not, you
failed in your positive duty.
Doing kind act instinctively
may cost very little to the doer,
while it brings help and cheer to
the heart of one who in turn is
enabled to minister to others in
need. On Monday morning, in
the busy crowd thronging Broad
way, above Wall Street, New York,
an elderly gentleman with heavy
valise in hand stood on the eastern
side Of the street, hesitating to
cross through the passing cars and
carts and carriages. His very
hesitation was depressing to him,
as he thought of the days VIXEN
such a scene Of intense action was
but an Indictment to him, and he
shrank the more from the special
duties that awaited him the coming
day and week. A young man
hurrying on in his duties observed
him and stopped to say, ''Can [
give you help in crossing the
street, sir?" And with this he
took the other and guided him

opposite sidewalk as the elderly
gentleman spoke hearty word of
thanks the two separated, and went
on their opposite paths. That
young man little thought how
much he had done for the Master
in that simple act of kindness.
The one helped and cheered had
not only been brought safely on
his course, but had been strength
ened for a special work he had to
do, and was prompted to ask Gods
blessing on the one who did the
loving deed, and to make use of
the incident to stimulate others to
