and was adopted by the Convention
to crafty him. Evidently, it did not
meet with the views of . majority of
delegates. a., when it was read by
Tillman, the applause it received was
from the Northwestern silver States,
the New England States, (uone of
which, it is doubtful, will give Bryan
an electoral vote) and part of Alaba.
ms, Mississippi and Texas. The 9TH
er delegations maintained q silence,
that ''cold-wstered" to large extent
the enthusiasm of the ardent free sill
verites.
Another noticeable feature was the
absence of thought or word regard
ing Admiral Dewey. His name, to
our hearing, was not mentioned once.
Kansas City handled the immense
crowd, numbering 10000, we'll, and
it is not improbable her creditable
showing will bring her the Oonven-
ton again. While people were dying
in Chicago of the heat, a cool breeze
was tanning the brows of the animst-
ed democracy in Kansas City.
The Western people treat sill in a
most cordial and courteous manner.
and were willing at sll times to i'm
part information with g cheerfulness
that sstonished our Eastern friends.
Another matter, We noted, was
that in that immense throng of hu-
manity, We only saw two republicans
and one drunken man. Democracy
and temperance were evidently walk
ing hand-in-hsnd in Kansas CITY
those three exciting days, and may
they continue.

The democrats of the 9TH Congres-

The democrats of the 9TH Congres-
sional district will meet today WED
nssday) and place in the field their
candidate for Congress. The con-
vention will simply be q ratification
meeting of the candidacy of Hon.
James Hay, rs all the counties have
instructed for him and his nomina,
ton will be made unanimously. Mr..
Hays nomination means his election
to third term in Congress. We
think he deserves his third term. He
has made an able aud efficient repre-
sentative, and is 8 recognized author
ity on the democratic side of the
House on matters pertaining to uili-
tsry affairs. His strong fight against
the republican army reorganization
bill brought him in national promi-
nence, and at one time be was men,
toned for the democratic floor leader.
Mr.. Hay is clean man, and his
course and conduct at Washington is
strongly presented in the following
editorial from the Woodstock Herald.
which should commend him to all
voters regardless of party affiliations:
Mr.. Hay has made an attentive
representative. His ability has
placed him in the front rank. He
has always, so far as we have been
able to learn, been prompt in attend
ing to the business of his constituents.
Another very strong point in his ia
vor is the fact that be is sober
man. He does not use liquor of any
kind.
If the people generally knew how
many of their representatives are
drunken sots, and for how much of
their time they areincspsctitated for
business on account of drunkenness
there would certainly be = change in
representatives. Men who have in
charge the property aud the liberties
of the people of this country should
be sober men. 1t would be no worse
to place passenger trains in the
hands of drunken enginemen and
drunken condu ctors than to place
the affairs of this republic in the
charge of such men. Some NAV con
tend that it is their own private aft
fair and personal affair and should
not be inquired into. 1t is not their
personal affair. They pose as the
representatives of this great people
and when they attempt to convert
the Capitol building of the nation
s'dram shop, and indulge in lengthy
periods of dissipation, they should be
discharged and dealt with as are 9TH
or drunksrs. We have now a sober
representative and for one, we would
be unwilling to exchange him for the
most talented drunkard in the dis
trict.

A gold democrat in Philadelphia

A gold democrat in Philadelphia
gives a sound and practical reason
for his support of Bryan this year.
The next Congress, he says, will
be gold Congress whether demo.
cratic or republican; but even if it
were not, let us elect a President
with a backbone who is wrong on
one question in preference to one who
is figurehead and who is right only
one question, aud is not sure of STAY
ing right over night on that unless
Hanna says so.

The Norfolk Landmark, one of
Mr.. Bryan's most vigorous opponets
IN Virginia four years ago, is out for
the democratic ticket this year. 1t
takes the ground that in spite of the
platform utterance for silver, sit
would be better for the country for
Bryan and Stevenson to be at the
head of the government than McKin-
ley and Roosevelt" The fundamen-
tai principle of human liberty, it
maintains, is of more Importance to
the people of the United States than
any question of finance, however Sc
rious.

The agony q mother suffers send
ing her son to war, says Harper's Ba-
Ear, is the measure of her hope in the
thought of welcoming him back.
Boys in blue are returning from the
Philippines. And this is how they
come: The army transport Grant,
lately arrived from Manila, brought
II insane soldiers; l25 soldiers in
irons, prisoners; 1913 sick soldiers.
The bodies of three others, i'll at the
start, had been cast into the sea.
What of the despair in the women's
hearts "when Johnny comes march
ing homer" The irony of war ap-
pears in the wrecked manhood that
survives. And the drain upon Amer
lean manhood is to continue. Cen
eral Otis has stated to the President
that the United States cannot safely
reduce its forces in the Philippines
for long time to come. Surely,
those innumerable islands, populated
by heterogeneous race, are not worth
the lives of the American boys, now
being sacrificed for them.

The Chinese Horror

The late reports from China dissi-
pate almost entirely the faint hope
that, with the exception of the Ger
man murdered Minister, the lega-
tons at Pekin are safe. IL the re-
ports telling of the massacre are true
1T will be the most horrible chapter
In the history of the both century.
One will shudder at the lifting of
the veil, that hides the barbarities
prscticed by those heather TO wipe
out the legations.
Reports state that the Boxers ar
tillery leveled the walls surrounding
the legations and then the torch was
sppiied and sill were killed. 1t is
said that husbands killed their wives
and children to save them from the
cruel atrocities of those madden
heathens, and that men were dragged
through the streets by their necks,
and thrown In csldrous of boiling wa.
ter. The number of Chinese troops
are beyond estimate.
The whole world is now uniting
with Germany in cry of revenge.
aud the powers are modelling troops
to quell the anarchy now existing in
China. The Chinese government is
believed to be- quietly abetting the
cause of the boxers.
That the Chinese eau fight des
perstely and successfully with mod
ern weapons was conclusively
demonstrated last Friday, when they
repulsed with considerable loss g
body of European. American and
japanese troops, numbering 1000
men, Who had attacked the native city
Tientsin. In this engagement the
American soldiers fought with their
usual bravery and their losses were
severe. Col. Liscum commanding
the Ninth Regiment, was killed. and
several other American officers were
wounded. The European and Jap.
anese troops engaged in the attack
also sustained heavy losses

Is 1t Right
FOR AN EDITOR To RECOMMEND PAT
ENT MEDICINES:

From Sylvan Valley News, Brew
rad. n. {.
1t may be "a question whether the
editor or newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend amy of the VA
rious proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet Ms preventive
of suffering we feel it duty 10 SAY a
good word for Chsmberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoes Remedy. We
have known and used this remedy in
our family for twenty years and have
always found il reliable. In many
cases q dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while u ply
stefan is swsited. We do not believe
in depending implicitly on any med
icine for cure, but we do believe
that if bottle of Cham berlain's Di-
srrhoes Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years For sale by W. Richardson.

Hsrper's Bszsr is wsging an inces-
SAINT warfare on trusts, and it's solid
articles are frequently reproduced in
the antitrust papers of the country.
One of the latest points it scores in a
recent editorial is, 1.-The matter of
increased costs is not the most dan
gerous feature of the trusts. Far
more serious is the fact that the field
of opportunity for the growing boy
is almost entirely removed. The
chances for individual effort are re-
duced to minimum. The individ-
ual enterprise that is possible under
q reign Of trusts is a resort to the
economic conditions of the barba-
rians. The alternative is serfdom-
clerkship, if you will, a managerial
position at handsome salary in the
trust concern perhaps, but he is the
minion of the sugar king, the coal
baron-the trust that employs him.
He is the creature of the trusts, with
no hope, no future in which he may
be master of himself"
Thus, the young men of the coun-
try will readily see from the forego-
ing paragraph how important it is
for them to support the democratic
ticket-the real and avowed enemy to
all criminal corporations. Don't let
yourself be carried away by the en-
thusiasm of Roosevelt. The trusts are
trying to elect the ticket he is on,
therefore, his election means more
liberality to these grinding monop-
olies, and less chance to the indivld-
ual effort of the young man.

In 1896 there was published list
OF the leading democratic papers in
this country which refused to sup
port the Chicago platform. They
numbered more than seventy. 1t is
notable fact that today it would
be hard to find as many as seven
that will take like position in re-
gard to the Kansas City document.

The Wheat and Corn Crops.

a recent Government report ssti-
mates the wheat crop of the United
this year at 51O,000,OOO bushels, y
decrease of I09,0OO,OOO bushels from
the June estimate. The Drop las t
year was about 547,00O,0OO, so the
crop of 1900, if the department. es-
Innate Is correct, is consid-
erably less than that of
1899. The falling off has been in
the spring wheat, mainly in the Da-
kotas. Reports from the wheat
counties of Ohio, Indiana show a
very small crop in those States. In
Kansas the crop is enormous.
The outlook for good prices for
our wheat and steady foreign de-
mand are most encouraging. The
drouth In India has converted one of
our formidable competitors into a
customer, and the indications now
are that more soldiers will be main
tanned in the field during the next
twelve months than for long time.
The South African war still holds a
large army in the field. The
troops in the Philippines will probab-
ly be kept up to the war footing for
long time to come. A great army
of Americans, Europeans, and Japa-
nese is gathering in China without
any outlook for its disbandment. 1t
requires much more bread to feed an
army than the same humble of men
consume at home, and the Cover
ment is always liberal buyer. The
outlook for the American farmer
this year is decidedly bright.
The armies in the field will need
meat as well as bread, and this will
afford the farmers a good market for
their corn crop inverted into beeves.
The corn crop in the middle West is
reported to be enormous almost be-
yond precedent.
