A change was also decided upon mi
the declaration regarding the Chicago
platform and the coinage Of silver This
declaration is placed well down In the
body Of the platform, and the Language
Is changed considerably. The introduc.
tory phrase OF this declaration az origi-

1t strikes us that in this great fight.
old State at heart, that we should
cast our vote for the man Of the most
ability, for the man who can meet the
thrusts of such men as Pritchard,
Chanler and host OF other brainy
men in the Republican party. We
need man who can defend the Con-
stitutional amendment and fight force
bills when these opponents OF our
liberties make such necessary Can
Gen. Carr cope with these men in
these great battles on the floor OF the
Senate? All who know Gen. Carr
know that he cannot do SO. He is a
great and successful man in business,
but he is no statesman and would be
but a pigmy in the hands OF these
men.
But should we elect Hon. F. NJ.
Simmons to the Senate we will have
in him a man just as able, just as
brilliant. and with as much ability to
hold his own as any in the Republican
party. 1t is just such a man IS he
that we want to defend our rights in
the Senate, and without man Of his
ability our liberties will be in danger
and the great victory won in August
will result in our degradation and
daily insults to our mothers, wives
and daughters from the very clas.
that We have now made to understand
that the white man must rule.
When we consider these things lei
us by all means vote for the most able
man for Senator, and il we do this We
will be compelled to cast our ballots
for Mr.. Simmons.

HELEN KELLER ON LOVE.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind, She Tells Of
Sublime Emotion.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 7.-Helen
Keller, the deaf, dumb and blind girl,
has overcome tremendous obstacles
and is now progressing well as q
student at Radcliffe. The bulk OF her
preparation for college was accom-
plished under Arthur Gilman's in
structions, aided by Miss Sullivan,
for several years her teacher.
The fineness Of her soul and the ex-
quisite nature of her thoughts may be
seen from one Of the essays written
during her preparation. The subject
was "a Nobleman."
What do mean by a noble man3"
began Miss Keller. Il certainly do
not mean a man of high rank, power
or wealth, as the Romans did, but to
my mind noble man is he who
strives tn attain that which is beauti-
full and imperishable-love.
"Love is the foundation upon
which all nobility must rest. II a
man has love in his heart it will find
it's expression in many beautiful quail
tiles, such as patience, courage and
charity. A noble man is patriotic,
honest and firm; he labors, not for
promotion, but Cor the sake of the
good which his work will bring to
those around him. He is q true
friend, whom all can trust"

A Little Sermon.
rWilAnn NeXS.l

The growth Of the boy or girl into
the pride of the home is q problem
for parents. 1t is thing to be solv-
ed in the home life, for the home life
is that which makes the boy and the
girl what they are in after life, and
fits them for that position in the
world which they obtain, or which
comes to them.
Home loving boys and girls usually
are the best Of the crop, and the prob
lem is how to make home the dearest
place on earth. If the parents make
no effort to make it bright and at
tractive spot their little family will
scatter to points where there is light
and life. The father or mother who
represses the young life of the home.
who is constant wet blanket on all
mirth or sport, need not be surprised
when their younglings spread their
wings and look for happiness outside
that circle of home which should be
the most charming in the world.
Make home what it ought to be and
the boys and girls will be all right.
