leading goldbug journalist. the Repub-

of the American revolution. In testi-
mony taken before a committee of the
house Of commons "to inquire into the
conduct Of the war" Major General
Robertson deDosed that he had been
twenty-eight years in the royal service
in America, and that General Lee had
informed him that half the continental
army was from Ireland
These facts are not well known. They

Germans know the meaning of mill

CAMPAIGN RENEWED.

After the money power took formal
possession of the Republican party in
1896, placing "the Cleveland iron king"
in control, a local Republican organ
declared that a majority of the dele
gates TO the convention had been
bought outright, like herds of cattle. %
1t likewise warned the Democratic
party to be on its guard, saying:
We elve the Democrats notice that if
money can compass the defeat of the sill
yer candidate on the silver platform at
Chicago, the money will be forthcoming
The same confession and the same
warning might be repeated this year,
for the same brutal aggregation ct
brokers, bankers and corruptionists'
are in control of the Republican ma
tional organization; and the same at
torneys of the money power" are max
ing frantic but futile efforts to get
some hold upon the Democratic dele
cations. But the oracle is silent. 1t is
ready to applaud the brutal aggrega-
tiOn." and its daily prayer is that BIZ

show no quarter to goldbugs or trim
mers. It will, without the shadow of a
doubt, readopt the chief features of
the Chicago platform. No backward
step will be taken in any point, espec-
tally with regard TO the money plank.
1t will be reaffirmed. The abolition of
national banks of issue will again be
demanded, and so as to show the peo-
pie that the Democratic party means
business. Bryan viii again be named as
the standard bearer.
The adherents Of the Chicago plat
form viii come into the convention
with a solid south and a solid west
Bryan is assured of a nomination, and
this, the politicians Of all parties agree
is equivalent to q declaration for indie
pendent bimetallism at the old ratio.
But the west and south are not alone
Bryan has the delegations from all the
Atlantic and New England states, from
the states of the middle west and the
northwest, from everywhere, in fact
and his nomination viii be by acclama-
tion.
There win be no potent voice for the
gold standard. There viii be no per
ceptible opposition to the free coinage
policy of the candidate. The money
power which controlled at Philadelphia
will have no place at Kansas City.
The platform was made, SO far as The
issues were presented, four years ago.
The campaign has been on since the
4th of November 1896.
There have been desertions and con
versions. But the Democratic party
has been gamer in the main. American
ism has given it more than Toryisn
has taken away.

No one was killed and the brewery was

that they were engaged in a legitimate
calling and should not be made the target
of pulpit imprecations. as it injured the
social standing of themselves and fami-

Where He Was From

(From the Columbus Dispatch.)
Colonel W %. Tolfords ability to rec
ognize a good story is as well known as
his ability to tell one, and this fact en-
ables him to bring back a fine assort-
ment every time he returns from trip.
Among those he brought back from
Washington last week is the following:
In the national capital the federal con-
stitution is regularly violated to the ex-
tent that col0red people are not enter

ored mulatto wandered into one of the

The eastern press, almost without ex-
ception notes the absence Of enthusi-
asm at the Philadelphia convention.
Delegates listened to the proceedings
in an apathetic. listless way, realizing
that the work Of the convention had all
been settled by Mark Hanna, and that
they were of about as much use as the
wooden chairs. So completely did Han
ma dominate the trust agents. eorpOr-
alton attorneys and federal Office hold
ers who made up nihe-tenths of the
delegates, that RoOsevelt's nomination
was regarded as impossible until the
boss gave his consent. Such is the
Hannaesque brand of popular govern
ment.

1t has often been remarked that chill
dren should not be permitted to eat
bananas, because they are not nutri-
tious and are hard to digest. Scientific
banana-eaters have discovered that
this delicious fruit contains 2 per gent
of water, PA per cent of heterogeneous
matter and % per cent of sacharine
substances. It is the p per cent of
sweets in the banana which makes
it nutritious food. A Mexican chem
ist has been comparing bananas with
wheat and potatoes for food and has
arrived at the conclusion that for the
same space and under the same condi-
tons of cultivation the production of
bananas is forty times that of pota-
toes and 100 times that of wheat. He
has figured out that an area of land
which will raise enough wheat to feed
six men will produce enought bananas
to feed $50 men. The only things to
raise on farm lands are sugar beets and
bananas. it would seem.
