a REPUBLICAN VIEW OF BRYAN

The Washington Post which is Re
publican in politics, pays the following
handsome tribute to the character of
William J. Bryan as a man, a citizen
and a party leader:
Mr.. Bryan is the one Democrat alive
who can develop the party's utmost
strength this year. Not only do Demo-
Gratis give him their. unreserved respect
and confidence; they now recognise his
absolute honesty and his magnificent
leader all is not harmony, but without
him the Democratic party would be an
1ncoherent and heterogeneous mob. He
does not, like Mr.. Mckinley, appeal to
the sentimental side of men. He does
not, again like his distinguished antag-
onlst, win personal affection. He is
strenuous. dominant, compelling He
does not consult or seek advice or lean
upon another. He is a captain, a COM
mander. law unto himself.
-Four years ago he leaped from COM
a party which Mr.. Cleveland had prac-
tically wrecked. In the eyes of the
country at large he seemed an accident
the grOtesque fruit of divided coun-
sells; the product of despair; the caprice
of an idle and a hopeless mood. He was
young; his political experience had been
very brief; his record limited at no
special brilhancy, and his achievements
warranted but very modest expectation
for the future. Nevert heless. he mag
netized ten thousand men assembled in
no similar audience was ever nagne-
tized before, and he did this less by
any gift of rhetoric or trick of eloquence
than by the overwhelming passion of
his earnestness and the irresistible force
of his convictions. He was not the
evolution of a deeD-laid scheme He
was not the result of carefully contrived
conspiracy He was the spontaneous
choice of every Democrat within hear
ing Of his ringing WoFds-within the in
hueRce of his tremendous personality.
The astounding campaign which he
conducted subsequently has no parallels
in the chronicle of American politics
Almost unknown, backed by no party
organization worthy of serious appraise-
ment; without money; abandoned by
the Cleveland faction; ridiculed and
misrepresented; fighting against the
most desperate odds, Including the
Democrats administration, and all its
hirelings and benefciaries. this youthful
stranger from the far west brought out
7early a million votes more than CIeve-
and. with all his eastern nillionaires
SRhind him, had been able to summon
to the polls four years before, and forced
the Republican party to levy on every
Gass Hill in the land for its salvation
No one today affects to hold Mr.
Bryan in contempt. No man at once
intelligent and honest ventures to dis
miss him from the equation of 1900 as a
factor of small consequences. Even the

NO MORE CONTRACTS.
Capital City Brick Company Has
Output Provided For in Topeka.

Mr., Willis Edison, of the Capital City
Vitrified Brick company in speaking of
the ability of the plant to furnish brick
for paving said:'sWe now have contracts
to furnish brick for Mr.. Ritchie to be
used in the paving of the four blocks
on Fillmore street. one on Taylor street
and one on King street. These are the
old contracts and will be furnished be-
fore September l, probably by the mid
die of August. We are sending brick to
Fillmore street now at the rate of $4,000
a day.
I'VE also have the contract for fur
nishing the brick for the sidewalks but
it is impossible to tell just how much
brick will be needed for that purpose.
There will be 10000 feet of sidewalk put
down but the council has not decided
how much of it is TO be brick and how
much stone. We are turning out brick
for the sidewalk and If the entire 10000
feet is laid with brick we will be able
in addition to the contracts already let,
to turn out enough brick to pave four
or five blocks before the first of the
year."

CUBA'S CHARITY HOMES.
Gen. Wood Names a Commission to
Amalgamate and Reorganize Them.

Havana July 10.-Eleven commissioners,
one for each province and five for the is
land at large. have been appointed by
Governor General Wood to superintend
present these institutions are scattered
and small ones are in existence in many
places.
The idea of the commission is to try and
amalgamate the small institutions into
two large homes which are to be estab-
lished in Havana, one for boys and one
for girls. These homes will be both
form and industrial schools where or
phans and waits will be fitted to earn
their own living. After the children have
received education they will be sent
out to work the sugar estates and
farms. When these charities have been
funds will be ample for the purposes re-
quired. Over $l40OO0OO are now at the
disposal of the commission.
An agricultural home will also be estab-
HShed.

ALL HE CAN SPARE.
MacArthur Can't Send Any More
Troops to China.

Washington, July 10.-Gen. MacAr-
thurs dispatch to the war department
is the first official admission of the pur-
pose of the administration to withdraw
additional troops from the Philippines
for the purpose of aiding in the suppress
sion of the rebellious conditions in China.
Outside of the sailors and marines of
Admiral Kempff'S fleet. the only United
States forces now in China are the 1850
officers and men of the Ninth infantry,
which, according to press dispatches,
arrived at Taku from Manila last Sat
urday
The additional troops ordered to the
scene from Manila, according to General
MacArthurS dispatch, will add little
over 1000 to that force. The reinforce
ments consist of two battalions of four
companies, each of the Fourteenth in
fantry, aggregating about 900, and Cap
tain ReilIey's battery of the artillery,
numbering 1S8 men with six guns. The
Third battalion of the Fourteenth in
fantry is now in the United States,
posted at Fort Brady and Fort Wayne.
The Philippine reinforcements should
arrive at Taku by the goth instant.
The transports used for this move
ment are large freight boats and while
somewhat slow are well adapted for the
purpose. They will carry supplies and
stores of all kinds sufficient for an
army of 5000 men fou three months
A depot of supplies will be estab-
lished at Taku and will be provided
with everything necessary for the
maintenance of the troops in active
field service. including a we'll stored
medical supply depot.
General MacArthur's dispatch is in
terpreted to mean that no more of the
troops of his command can be with
drawn at present without detrimept to
the service il the Philippines. 1t also
shows that he was unable to send as
many troops to China as the war de-
partment evidently desired. This is
shown by his statement that Taylor's
battery of the Fourth artillery in Samar
was not available for service in China,
and by the further statement that it
is impracticable- to draw upon the 38th,
39th and 18th volunteers, commanded
respectively by Colonels Anderson, Bull
lard and Sargent. In response to his
request he was urged by the secretary
of war to transfer the troops in Samar
to the department. of southern Luzon.

WELCOME WORDS
TO WOMEN.

Women who suffer with disorders pecu-
liar to their sex should write to DR.. Pierce
and receive free the advice of a physician
of over thirty years experience-a skilled
and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has
the most careful consideration and is of
course, regarded as sacredly confidential.
Many sensitively modest women write fully
TO DR.. Pierce what they would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local
physician is pretty sure to say that he can
not do anything without "an examina-
ton" DR.. Pierce holds that these distaste-
full examinations are generally needless,
and that no woman, except in rare cases,
should submit to them.
DR.. Pierces treatment will cure you
right in the privacy of your own home.
His " Favorite Prescription " has cured
hundreds of thousands, some of them
the worst imaginable cases. It is the
only medicine of its kind that is the pro-
duct of regularly graduated physician.

offer you a substitute. Don't take it.
