Montevue in the Past and What
We Hope For the Future.

In the appointment of the Board Of
Charities the responsibility for the
good government OF the institution
must r, st upon the Republican men,
bers. That there has been consider
able complaint about the management
of this institution there can lie no
question, and that the people will be
more interested than heretofore in its
new government there can be no ques-
ton. 1t has been stated that the
board has refused to recognize the
rights of the superintendent, or in
other words have taken the rights of
the superintendent from him and
placed them all in their own hands.
Let this be as it may, the responsibility
must rest upon some recognized head.
If the superintendent is unfit for the
place, if he is man Of i'll temper and
INDUCES in vile language and pirates
about his Independence, he is not q fit
man for the place and should be made
to understand his position. If, on the
other hand, he is expected 10 bring
about reforms or be charged with the
management Of the institution, he
should be given such authority as to
enable him TO properly carry out his
duties. 1t is most gratifying to state
that under Democratic rule and with
Mr.. Derr as superintendent never was
there a complaint of unkindness or
neglect and never were the surround
ings of the institution kept in such
thorough repair. Look at the roads
to-day under the present administra-
ton as compared to what they were
under perintendeat Derr and DEM
ocratic board. We trust to find a new
departure in this institution. 1t is the
home of our own poor and should be
up to the highest standard. We shall
pay special attention to the matter and
shall most certainly speak of things
just as we find them. We hope for a
first class administration in every
respect.

Transvaa1 War Has Lasted
Four Months.

LONDON, Feb. 12-To day sees
the beginning of the wars fifth
month. Charles Williams, the
military expert, says:
"After all this interval our
fine, big army, instead of being
free to maneuver in the field, is
tied by the left leg to Kimberly
in order to please Cecil Rhodes,
and by the right leg to Lady
imith in order to please Joseph
Chamberlain. Yet neither town
has the very smallest military
value.n
Although the British will soon
have 200, 900 men in South Africa
the Daily Mail and other papers
are still asking for more troops.
The stoppage of shipments of
gold and diamonds resulted in ex-
ports from Cape Colony last
month valued at G251, 1872 (about
81, 255, 91O), as against 60, 1872, :

Not only is it necessary for the

The hands should be thoroughly

the health of the hand. Then

Good Advice to Mr.. Bryan-Will
He Stop and Consider.

MIR. Bryan is still making his tours
throughout the country, and as a rule,
he has been met by enthusiastic
crowds, and naturally believes that the
great body of the people are with him.
Mr.. Bryan should, however, bear in
mind, that he had equally enthusiastic
meetings in every State in the Union
during his last campaign and notwith-
standing this fact was defeated for the
presidency. 1t seems to be al esiao-
lished belief that Mr.. Bryan will in all
probability be the unanimous choice
of the next Democratic National Con-
vention for President of the United
States. That the platform will be sim
liar to the famous Chicago platform
seems likewise equally certain. A
charge no doubt will be made iu the
radical clause regarding the United
States Supreme Court. as this was the
product Of Mr.. George. Expansion
and antitrust as well as a clause advo-
eating the election of United State
Senators by the people, may also find
a place in the platform. Some good
advice has been given Mr.. Bryan by
the able articles recently published by
the Baltimore Sun, and some forcible
remarks have been made by the elo-
quent Bourke Cochran, urging Mr. Bry-
an to l. the dead issues of the past be
forgotten and confine himself to the
living issues of to-day. If this advice
is followed, it simply means uniting
the Democratic party in every section
of The Union. 1t means conference
of all our old leaders; il means the
masses as well as the Democratic capt.
talists ia ling in line, shoulder 10 shout
der, uniting in common Cause against
q common enemy. No one asks Mr..
Bry an to surrender any of his princi-
pies; no one expects him 10 humiliate
himself in any way, but great states
men in the past have abandoned theo-
ries and delayed bringing great princi-
Piles to the front, simply that victories
may be won, which after all secures
the triumph of the ISSUES most desired.
IT Mr.. Bryan dos not wish to play the
role of dictator, let him take counsel
with the leaders of the party. Let
him listen to reason. Let him devise
means to wipe out the administration
in power and he will be backed by a
united party, which means success to
the great body of American people;
and further it means his success, his
triumph and his election as President
of the United States. We learn that
Mr.. Bryan wants an early convention,
even before the meeting of the Repub-
lican convention. Many fhis friends
think this unwise. 1t may be possible
that the gentleman is unable TO rea-
lie that there is safety in the advice
Oftrnsty friends and the constant ova-
tions rendered him, may after all, af-
feet him, as 1t has others, by making

hands of the party to secure much
needed benefits. for the people. These
are grave questions for the consdera-
ton not only of Mr.. Bryan, but for the
leaderSof the party all over the coun-
try Good advice has been given. We
do not believe that the people want the
Mckinley administration continued.
Here is our chance for success. Will
Mr.. Bryan and his advisers stop and
consider? Let us hope that they will.

To be bound hand and foot for years
By the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George d. Williams,
Of Manchester, Mich, tells how such q
slave was made free. He says: "My

that she could not tuin over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm.
proved and able to do her own work"
