EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Colonel Bryan is trying to show a
clear title to the antitrust policy. But
he does not make an utterance that
fails to bring him up to republican
platforms, messages Of republican gov
errors, action in Congress and resolu-
.tlons everywhere expressive OF hostili-
ty to trusts that injure industry and
are improper in their scope. The New
York Sun says that Bryan has got hold
OF everybody's issue, and Bryan cam
not put his private label on lt-Buffa-

ganik e a stliird rem bllean ,organ izatipn.
This forenoon there was conference
between union republicans who are
willing to waive their loyalty to Ad-
dicks and regular republicans who are
willing to relegate the choice Of United
states senators to the republican voters
of the state. The conference adjourned
to a late hour this afternoon. What
will result from these conferences is a
matter Of conjecture.
Assuredly it is only by trying to get
together that there is any chance Of
harmonizing; and every republican
voter should be a jealous harmonizer.

audience was that His Excellency is
delightful play. Miss Ethel Barry
more as the adventures, more charm
ing than naughty, showed marked i'm
provement in her art and looked more
beautiful than ever. Miss Charlotte
Crane, as Ethel, with whom all the
men were in love, was a delight, and

elderly aunt Among the men In the
cast were Joseph Holland. Edward See,

tlie Most suitable Christmas Present

AT this season Of the year every
oae is racklng his brains to dis.
cover the most suitable present to
bestow on friends both present and
absent The many articles that are
displayed but add to the confusion
and ten to one the wrong present IS
selectei and sent. The effect on the
recipient can be better imagined
than described.
There is one thing that can al
ways be sent however with perfect
good taste and that is box of
chocolate or bon bens. This present
is always the correct thing and it is
always appreciated at full value.
Inquiry among local dealers shows
that there is heavier run on Rey-
mers chocolates and bon bons that
there are on all others combined.
This they explain by reason of
the superior quality Reymer goods
They are the best and are ad-
mittedly to be so by the people
who know good candy when
they taste it. This candy is put up
in boxes of any size suitable for
mailing of for instant delivery. The
way that it is put up adds to it's at
Effectiveness and makes it even more
delightful and dainty than it would
be if less care were taken with it in
preparation for market.
All the dealers in town handle it
and they are increasing their orders
on account of its great and growing
popularity here.
