Robbed the Grave.

A startling incident of which Mr.. John
Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject,
is narrated by him as follows: Il was
in a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back and
sides, no appetite-gradually growing
weaker day by day. Three physicians
had given me up. Fortunately a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters,' and 70

The Appleton Failure.

failure of ID. Appleton ~ Co. calls
particular attention il thc enormous
proportions which the practice of
selling books to he paid for in in

has outstanding nearly a million
OF dollars in accounts of this sort
which il will doubtless be able L.
collect in time, but which cannot
be relied upon for the taking up of
notes due tomorrow or next week
or month,

1t would hc a great misfortune
To the reading public if the house
of Appleton should 90 out Of cx-

A STUDY of the southern long
leaf pine has been begun by the
division of forestry. A brief ex-
animation last fall proved many
prevailing ideas regarding this tree
to be mistaken. The rate of growth
was shown to he comparatively
rapid and resistance to fire far
greater than is commonly believed.
These discoveries suggested IA fuller
investigation for the benefit of
lumbermcn. The chief object will
be To determine the length of time
which must elapSe after logging be
fore another cut can be- made. Such
knowledge will enable owners to
decide whether it will pay to pro
tect logged-otf lands from fire and
keep up the taxes for the sake of
subsequent crops.

From both Washington and OF
tawa come intimations that the
joint high commission, to patch up
all misunderstanding between the
United States and Canadian gov
ernments, will soon solemnly re-
assemble for business. As it took
the last session of the Joint high
commission just six months to ac-
complish nothing, the forthcoming
session will probably consume
about one year as the right length
of time to justify the continuance
of its members on the respective
salary rolls of the two governments.
Obviously nothing is to be gained
by rushing matters.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

Republican Theories.

Judging from what is appearing
in the Republican newspapers the
Republicans seem to be informed
better than the Democrats them
selves are as to what the coming
Democratic national platform will
be. They say that the platform
will differ radically from that
adopted at Chicago, and that Mr..
Bryan will have no voice in max
ing it. These papers also say that
the eastern and southern Demo
Gratis have got together and will
make a platform to suit themselves.
They do not approve the platform
recently adopted by the Nebraska
Democrats. 1t contains too much
Populism. 1t is admitted that it
was the work of Mr.. Bryan, or at
least had his approval, and that is
one reason why they will not per
nit him TO have a voice in making
the national platform.
1t is not stated just what the
eastern and southern Democrats
will put into their platform, but it
is limited by these Republican
newspapers that it will have moth
ing in it to which gold Democrats
objected in 1896. 1t is intimated
that these eastern and southern
Democrats are after harmony in
the party. In other words they
are willing for Mr.. Bryan to have
the nomination, provided he will
abide by their judgment as to what
the platform should be.
1t is very evident that these Re-
publican newspapers are not well
posted upon this subject. The
Populists and silver Republicans
could not be retained with a plat
form silent on the silver question;
and it is pretty generally admitted
that they are worth more to the
Democratic party than the gold
Democrats.
1t is possible that there may be
Il great deal of opposition to a plat
form similar to that of 1896 when
the convention meets ut Kansas
City, but such opposition will not
be strong enough to control the
convention. 1t is not well founded
that a majority of the next nation
al committee will pc against the
leading declarations of the plat
form of 90.
1t is generally conceded that the
next national convention will
nominate Mr.. Bryan for the com
ing campaign, and if Democratic
leaders are willing that Mr.. Bryan
should be the candidate they should
be willing for him To outline the
platform on which he will max
the race.
These stories that Mr.. Bryan
will be only tigurchcad, and that
eastern and southern Democrats
will only permit his nomination
under certain conditions have real
~ very little foundation and are
hardly worth considering.

Shall the democracy win or al
most win" in November? Will the
record show party failure or sue
cess? The Democratic leaders must
decide this question when the
Kansas City convention meets.
They have an opportunity this
year To elect a Democratic prcsi-
dent through the restoration of
Democratic unity. Will they make
the most Of this opportunity or de-
liberately abandon it in a wild
goosc chase after silver Republicans
and Populist votes If the result
next November shows that they
are still in the almost won class
they will have only themselves
to blame. \ majority of the people
are ready to follow their lead on Il
