THE CAMPAIGN OF 1900.
Ex-Governor Stone Makes Some Guesses at
Bryan's Election.

EX- Governor Stone of Missouri, has
contributed paper to a current num-
Der of the Forum on '"The Campaign of
19OO," the chief interest of which is to
be found in his guesses at Mr.. Bryan's
chances of election.
1t is conceded by Mr.. Stone that in
1896 Mr.. McKinley's plurality over
Mr.. Bryan was upwards of 600, 900
votes, and that the formers majority
III the Electoral College was 95 votes.
If these figures should be considered
without prejudice they would, in the
absence of any visible sign of such a
change of public sentiment as to pres
age political revolution throughout
the country, seems determine that Mr..
Bryan's chances of being elected Pres
dent i'll 1900 are very much less, not
greater, than they were in 1896, and
that they are, in fact, nil.
If Mr.. Stone does not know he
should know that during the last four
years so great has been the growth of
the anti-free silver sentiment in the
West, more cOnspicuously than in the
East, even, that Mr.. Bryan is certain
to loose the votes of vast numbers of
citizens who voted for him in 1896.
The sO-called silver States in the West
have, i'll one election after another,
demonstrated that it is the gold stand
ard of monetary value, and not the
proposed silver standard, which has
found increasing popularity with their
people. .-Pu6Lic Lcdgcr.

cratic candidates are confident and the
Ford men were claiming 36 of the 65

would make Peter J. Ford the candidate

is question that finds few entirely

served, and the leaders find them

Bryan has given pledge to aban-
don the sovereignty of the Philippine
Islands and Irrender them to Agui-
naldO and his followers. The pledge
necessarily induces the rebels in arms
against the United States to continue
their efforts until after November
in the hope that their friend will be
chosen President. Minister DENLY
and others have pointed out this effect
of Bryan's pledge. AS the late Gen
eral LawtOn said, our soldiers in the
PHILIPPINES are being slain as the result
of treason at home. But Bryan's open
efforts to encourage the rebels exceeds
anything before known in that line.

Extra strain needs extra strength.
When a man begins to add to his hours
OF labor, and subtract from his hours
OF rest, he is putting an extra strain on
brain and body. In such cases many
men make the serious mistake of using
stimulating liquors, or alcoholic medi-
cines. These can only injure The spur
forces on the horse, but does not
strengthen him. Stimulants are only
spurs. The need of the body IS
strength. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is invaluable to overworked
men and women. It strengthens the
stomach, increases the blood supply,
nourishes the nerves, and gives vital
power to brain and body.
There is no alcohol in vGolden Med
ical Discovery" 1t contains no opium,
cocaine or other narcotic. II is strictly

SENATOR MASON'S ISSUE.
Money and Imperialism Fade Into Insignifi.
ance Compared With the Tariff.

The paramount issue in a mans
mind is plainly what he chooses to
make it. The Republican Convention
said it was the money question, the
Democratic platform asserts that it is
imperialism, and Senator William E.
Mason stoutly declares that it lis neither
of these, but that good old companion
of our political boyhood-the tariff.
''The money question and imperial
ism, 'he says, ''fade into insignifance
when compared to the question of
giving employment to our tariff. The
full dinner pale tickles the fancy of
the rOtund Senator from Illinois, and
will, he thinks, few days before elec-
tiOn supersede the repeated and re-
sung old campaign chestnuts," such
as whether or not we should retain the
Philippines and the preservation of
the gold standard, will "take posses
sion of the people" and will re-elect
Mr.. Mckinley. When the working
man, in the Senators opinion, sees
how much more dinner there is on his
plate now than there was four years
ago, "the more profound and high
sounding questions of international
law and coinage and weights and meas
ures will flee from his mind like tale
which has been told.

There are women who feel something
