In the clear morning of that other land,

In the clear morning Of that other land
In Paradise.
With the SAINT face that we have loved and
cherished
She shall rise
Let us be patient we who mourn with weeping
That vanished face
The Lord has taken but to add more beauty
And a diviner grace.
Resolved, therefore, l. That we ex-
tend our deepest sympathies to those
who mourn so sorely her loss her i'm
mediate family, and pray for them the
consolation of the Holy Spirit, and
2. That we show the esteem we had
for her by recording these resolutions
in the record book OF the society, and
3. That copy be furnished to each
one of her children, and one copy each
to the town papers for publication.

That the democratic leaders are
thoroughly posted on what the repub-
licans are doing and are meeting every
republican move, is made apparent by
the following remarks of one of them
against the prosperity statistics which
are being manufactured by the census
bureau, we will place some hard facts
which Indicate that many classes of
men who have to depend on their labor
for living are not prosperous, Take
for instance the anthracite coal miners
The coal trust has cut down the num-
Der of work days so that miners are ex-
pected to live on three days work a
week. This means that they can bare
ly exist. In New England, some Of the
cotton mills are shut down and others
are running on half time. The silk
mills Of New Jersey are running on
short time, and one OF the big silk
manufacturing companies has, within
the last week, gone into bankruptcy.
We are looking for the scare which
the republicans have intimated they
will give the country, that attention
may be called to the money question.
1t may come at any time, and the small
volume of trading in Wall street indi-
Gates fear there that money squeeze
may be impending. When the west
begins the moving of its crops and calls
upon the east for money to do it with,
and if coincidentally, Russian or any
other European loan should be placed,
making drafts upon our gold supply, q
very little artificial encouragement
would produce the scare which | think
the republicans contemplate.

Now that it has been authenticall,

Now that it has been automatically
announced that Elk Senator German,
now at Saratoga, will return to Mary
land about the middle of September
and take an active part in the campaign
until election day, those republicans
who have been actively circulating sto-
ries of his lukowarmness towards Bry-
an and Stevenson, must feel that they
are very clumsy liars. 1t has never
been donbted that Mr.. German would
do his full duty towards the party that
has honored him in the past and that is
likely to honor him i'll the future.

Evidence continues to multiply show
ing that Illinois will be found in the
democratic column this year. After
expressing his opinion to that effect,
Mr.. w, II, Broad, of Chicago, said,
''There are number of reasons for be-
lieving this, but / am convinced that
opposition to imperialism will have a
greater influence in the undoing of the
republicans than any of the other is
sues. There is big German vote in
Illinois, especially in Chicago, and the
Germans vote in Illinois, especially in
Chicago, and the Germans, almost to a
man, are opposed to the imperialistic
policy of the present administration.
There is also a very bitter factional
fight among Illinois republicans, and
although ~ uocSh OOlhc lhhou w tuS
surface, the feeling is so strong that it
will be impossible for them to make a
progressive and harmonious campaign
in the state. Opposition to the trusts
will also lose the republican ticket a
good many votes, and with the labor
troubles in Chicago and all the suffer
ing that has resulted from them, the
republican orators will find it difficult
to convince the workingmen there that
the eountrp is blessed with an over
abundance of prosperity. "

Very truly your friend,
Z. LEIGH THOMPSON.

Representative VanDiver, Of Mis-
souri,, has been investigating cost of
government by commission, under the
Mckinley administration. Owing to
mixed systems of bookkeeping he has
only partially succeeded, but he shows
that more than two and half millions
of dollars have been directly appropri-
ated for commissions, not including the
Postal Commission, the California De-
bris Commission, or the Mississippi
River Commission. That the expenses
of these various commissions have been
much larger than the direct appropria-
tions is certain, but the treasury gives
no details They are included in items
which appear on the books as for "Na
tional Defense, " "Miscellaneous" and
Emergency" and which aggregate a
total expenditure for the last fiscal
year alone within fraction of twenty
two million dollars
