On June 23rd, 1896, DR..
johnson eulo9ized the Sill
yer Republicans whom he
despises now, in the follow
ing manner:

The silver bolt in the St. Louis
convention is the most significant
event in the history of politics in this
nation. 1t is the first real defeat of
the arrogant money power in this
nation. The gold cohorts felt it.
Notwithstanding their apparent hilar-
ity and seeming confidence sad
gloom prevails everywhere among
them. For once their political ma
chinery failed to coerce the minds and
consciences of free men, Senator
Teller talked to these hardheaded
money men in the committee of reso-
luton, of justice, righteousness and
Judgment to come till they wept like
children. Talked and pleaded and
reasoned and expostulated for seventy
millions of people, and millions un-
born, for justice and equity
There he stood strong in the con-
viction of right, earnest, grand, ma
jestic, yet cool, collected and firm and
plead his cause, and when downed,
retired hero, and henceforth the idol
of the common people of America.
The ball is now open. The first
Dig gun IN ln1S money Ddttle is nTeQ.
The gold army has lost one-fourth or
possibly one-third of it's soldiers. Re-
alignment of political parties on the
money question is reality. The c..
O. Party wall is down and the stream
is pouring through the breach. The
party rs broken and possibly destroyed
in every state West of the Mississippi.
Take courage brethren: Towne of
Our own state is a man of his word.
He is another hero. The flower of
the Republican party in the state is
with him. Ex-senator Hoard, of the
Montevideo Leader, is out in an edi-
torial renouncing the c.. o. P. John
Lind, John Day Smith, F. M. Nye,
Lieut.. Gov. Day and host too nu-
merous to mention ditto.
Willmar tribune., 1900-10-03
On August 9TH, 1896, DR..
johnson wrote this strong
editorial comment on Bry.
ans Chicago speech:

1t is difficult to single out any of
the many forcible ideas that Mr.. Bry-
an so eloquently sets forth, as of
greater Importance. Yet we think
we may safely say that the following
few epigramatic sentences was the
fuse that fired the latent mine of pa
triotis1n in the heart. of his hearers,
and fixed the irrevocable determina-
ton in every mind that Bryan, and
Bryan alone, was the man they were
seeking:
I'VE are fighting in the defence of
our homes, our family and posterity.
We have petitioned, and our petitions
have been scorned. We have en-
treated and our entteaties have been
disregarded. We have begged, and
they have Knocked, and our calamity
came. We beg no more. We en-
treat no more. We petition no more.
We defy the1n.'
AS the sound of his voice died in
the remotest recesses of the hall the
vast convention as electrified leaped
to its feet in one vast shout of
applause. Why so? Ali! It felt, knew,
that the spirit of rs, of P aul Jones,
had spoken to them. And it respond
ed, could not help respond: millions
for defence but not one cent for
tribute'
Listen:
we beg no more!
We entreat no more! y
We petition no more!
We defy them''
This is the trumpet blast that is
sounding the death knell of plutocracy
in America. This is the bugle call
that brought to the standard of him
who uttered it, the rough and ready
Populist, and the polished G.. O. P.
bi-metallist, each vying with each
other which should lead the charge
on the common enemy
This is the blast from Gabriel S
- horn that is raising the dead-patriots
dead of disgust at political hypocrisy
and cowardice during the last thirty

the People this Year.
OLD DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAPTURED
By the People and Once More Imbued
with the Principles and Spirit
of Thomas Jefferson.
The Whele West and South Will Now March
Shoulder to Shoulder to Certain Victory
For the Rights Of the People.

Hurrah for w. J. Bryan! He is the
pride of the West. He is gifted, elo-
quent, honest, and brave. He is the
most conspicuous representative of
the common people, and Divine Prov
idence must have ordained that once,
at least, should honesty and true
worth have its reward.
Mr.. Bryan is probably the most elo-
quent orator in this country. He is
young man, about 36 years old. He
is man of wonderful magnetism.
We met him last fall in Minneapolis
and were peculiarly impressed with
the fact that we were in the presence
of more than ordinary parsonage.
The W1LLMAR TRIBUNE of December
"a, 1895, contained the following
statement of Our impressions of the
man:

heart that beats and vibrates in unison with the

general. Money arithmetic is secondary.

his sphere to his class to the political parties that
stand for his class. as sure as the needle to the

DR.. johnson claimed to be
one of the original discover
ers of Bryan, as witness this
editorial written by him for
the Willmar Tribune, July ID,
1896:
The daily morning journal and courier., 1900-01-03

One of our party cut the tongues out of his shoes, and narrow line of sock was exposed under the lacing. Next day he was bitten there at least hun dred times, and his feet were so terribly inflamed that the shoes had to be cut off. Another man, fireman in the boat crew, got drunk on Alaska whiskey one afternoon, and lay down to take nap in the corner of the engine-room. I noticed him little later, and was horri- fled at the solid brown mass of mos- quitoes that had settled on a small ex- posed section of his cheek and throat. In an hour his face was swollen out of all resemblance to anything human, he was unable to swallow, and was burning with fever. It was week be- fore he was able to be about. I saw a number of cattle near Fort Hamilton that had been made stone blind by stings near the eye The Arctic foot hill mosquito is without doubt the most terrible insect pest in the world. d."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

 | We both went into the house.
 I noticed the couple sitting at small center table with their backs toward me- 1 took seat near the door. They stood up, still with their backs toward me, and the minister began to read the service. I began to look around the roof, taking notice of some pictures that adorned the walls. Of sudden there was a sharp cry, rush of feet, and I found myself clasped in a tight embrace. "Oh, Mir. B., I'm so glad you're alive! I'm so glad to see you!" and he hugged and patted me on the back like big school-boy.
 I disentangled myself, pushed him away and there stood-Will Brush! I was copletely dumbfounded for a moment
 Suffering Moses!" I yelled, when I had found my voice, "how did you get here I wrote, and told your parents you were goner!"
 The minister and the girl stood look ing on with their mouths wide open.
 "Oh, I know, know!" exclaimed Will, joyfully "Mother told me all about it!"
 "Yes, but how did you get here, that's what I want to know?" I roared at him.
 "Oh, I got rescued all right" he ex- claimed, dancing around me like South Sea islander. T got rescued all right! I cut my way through the tim bers near the keeson and came out on the bottom!''
 "YoU did what?" I roared.
 'It's a fact" he returned, quietly. Tt took me about twenty hours to do it, but got through all right. You re- member that broken skin-plank' near the keelson in the forehold?"
 Yes" I answered
 Well, when she went over climbed upon it, and the water didn't come within four foot O me. I could hear the seas pounding her outboard. After a bit they seemed to go down, so I started to cut my way thhrough. I dug first tween the inward seams, but it was awful work. had to go easy on account of my sheath-knife. It was nighttime when I got a hole big enough to get through and I found the sea gone down. I was on her bottom for two days, when I was picked up by brig bound for Boston. Then I went on a voyage to Callao and got back about month ago. I came down here to-day with my girl to get spliced And here am."
 Shipmates, there's nothing more to tell Suffice it to say that Will had the ceremony finished and returned home, making me promise to visit them as soon as possible. I have never seen them since, but received letter from Will year later, while I was in Cal cutta, informing me that they had named their firstborn L~-, after me- Auburn, 23,229."

THE ARCTIC MOSQUITO.

Nothing that has ever been written about the Arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing" said a guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening. T went up the Yukon River in the summer of '96, representing the Alaska and Dominion Trading Gem pany and we struck mosquitoes IS soon as we got Into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species, and their sting is like the prod of a hot needle. They sweep along the val leys in dense clouds, and if they catch q man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children being stung to death, and can readily believe them. When ever we went ashore we wore heavy hat nets, and took the utmost precau- tion, but were certain to suffer more or less

MAGICIANs GENERALLY POOR
 POKER PLAYERS.

A group of old-t time sports were tell
 ing poker stories few nights ago and
 somebody remarked that the elder Her
 mann, the magician, might easily have
 made a fortune had he turned his att
 tention to gambling.
 I've heard that before" said one of the party, chuckling, land 1t always amused me. Why, my dear sir, Alex ander Hermann was one of the poorest poker players that ever drew to a bob tail. He liked a social game and plugg- ed away at it all his life, but he was never anything but raw amateur. Good poker players are born. and it simply wasn't in him. As for being able to manipulate the cards was con- cerned, he couldn't do it. even had he been so disposed, which of course he wasn't He could perform wonderful tricks, but that class of work is some thing entirely different from what is called advantage playing. I have known four sleight t-of-hand performers, and not one of them could do a thing with the deck in an ordinary game. To do successful crooked work in short cards requires not only great dexterity of kind entirely distinct from stage tricks, but also a peculiar temperament. All the men who became famous for that sort of thing in the old days were of the same general type, and when I come to think of it, those I knew looked more or less alike. They could perform feats, but 1t required years of practice and setting every else aside; no professional juggler could spare the time to learn.
 "The best proof that Hermann was with the tricks of the card tab ble is that he was continually being made the victim. He made no secret of the fact that he had been fleeced time and again, and I happen to know per sonally that he was once swindled out of a considerable amount by one of the oldest and stalest devices known to the When the thing was ex- plained to him afterward he was deeply disgusted, but he had never suspected 1t at the time, ,"-New Orleans Times Democrat

CHINA'S NEEDS AND ABILITY.

China needs protection and guidance, even to the point of wise compulsion, at the hands of such Christian nations as are truly interested in her welfare, that she may be preserved In her integrity and enter in earnest upon her career of reform. Though the Chinese national life should disappear for time, the life of the people will continue. There is no lack of virility to perpetuate and multiply their racial type. The Chinese are people of industry and thrift, and in the sharp Ompetition with other races will secure for themselves their relative share in the worlds produc- tions They will prove themselves to be skilful workmen, ready to adapt means to ends, and will make their la bor a necessity in the varied activities of the world. They will be cautious and judicious traders, competing on equal terms with men of other nations. Chi nese students will prove their ability to master and use the learning of the west and finally, we may believe, to contribute something to enlarge the sum of human knowledge The Chi nese language and literature will sur vive along with the race, and will be enlarged and enriched for use as their civilizatio advances, All that is best in the Confucian civilization will be preserved by the Chinese people, and the future Christianity of China will not destroy, but rather renovate, the institutions of China. The Chinese have moral and religious capacities to develop civilization of high moral pur- pose and of steadfast religious life that will not be below the best type of civ ilization that Christianity has produced in western lands-Atlantic

Twas New Years day I was second mate of a ship lying in the hdlbor of st. Johns, N. B. About eight months had passed since I was rescued.

ELECTRICITY AND LEE.

1t has been demonstrated that an
animal killed by electricity may be
brought to life. An ordinary cur
rent does not produce instant death
and if it we're possible to have in
readiness suitable apparatus, con-
sciousness could be restored by the
infusion of defbrinated blood. In a
a like manner, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. the we'll known tonic, infu-
ses life into debilitated bodies, by
revitalizing and purifying the blood.
This wonderful medicine permeates
and distributes nutritive material
to every part of the body, If its
quality or circulation is deranged,
trouble follows. Constipation, dys-
pepsia, liver and kidney disorders
all spring from a weak condition of
the digestive organs, which affects
the blood, and through it the entire
body. The bitters cures all such
disorders and is an excellent spring
tonic.
