 Richard Olney, secretary ot state under Cleveland's last administra- ton, is now one of Bryans warm est supporters. Mir. Olney IS the author of the famous thew Mon- roe Doctrine. During the Vene- zuelan controversy he declared to England that "the United States is supreme on the American conti- nent and her fiat is law, and made this the basis for all his ne gotiations. He sees plainly that if Mckinley is elected the Monroe Doctrine will be dead letter, for it will be impossible for us to deny to other powers the right to en- croach on weaker nations when we are engaged in war of aggression and encroachment ourselves. A nation cannot with one arm pro- tect its weaker sisters in one part of the world and with the other maltreat them i'll another part.

It Happened in a Drug Store.

"One day last winter a lady came to my drug store and asked for bottle of cough medicine that I did not have in stock" says Mir. C. R. Grandin, the popular drug gist of Ontario, N. Y. "She was disappointed and wanted to know what cough preparation l could recommend. I said to her that I could freely recommend Chamber lain's Cough Remedy and that she could take bottle of the remedy and after giving it fair trial if she did not find it worth the money to bring back the bottle and I would refund the price paid. In the course of a day or two the lady came back in company with a friend in need of a cough medicine and advised her to buy a bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. l consider that very good recom- mendation for the remedy.'

Trust Onslaught.

Mir. Bryan is not by any means alone in the belief that from now until the day ot election the gigan- tic slush fund collected by Mark Hanna from the trusts will be lav- ishly expended ill overcoming the will of the people by preventing its full expression at the polls.
 For some weeks past Hanna has been hard at work completing the collection of this fund, which az g1egates millions of dollars. In Chicago he held up trust magnates and capitalists with an autocratic resoluteness amazing even to the men whose contributions he com manded. In New York City he pursued a similar course. Out through the West he sent certain big trust leaders to gather in mon- ey for the final onslaught. His cry was that there was danger of McKinley's defeat-the trusts must rally round their Presidential instrument.
 It was for immediate use that Hanna got all this money together. He knows as we'll does as MT. Bryan that if the election were held to-day the Democratic party would have a majority in the cleo toral college and in the popular vote. It is to prevent this that his big slush fund will be employed. Purchaseable votes will be pur- chased. Timid voters at the mer- cy of the trusts will be intimidated to the point of voting against their convictions. Trust money and trust influence will be used to their fullest in MT. McKinley's behalf. It is the trusts against the people. St. Louis Republic.

Roosevelt in his speech i'll St. Louis the other night said that he asked the people to Declare, once for all, that where once the Amer ican flag has been hoisted in hon. or, it shall never be hauled down ill dishonor. ''Let us notice the logic of this spectacular oratory a little bit. How was the American flag hoisted ill Manila? It was by the aid of the Filipinos. We could never have taken Manila with the handful of soldiers we had there, had not the city been hemmed ill on every side by our allies (now our enemies) the Filipinos. The American flag floats over Manila as an emblem of broken faith and deception. To haul it down from where it has no right, to preserve its spotless folds from the taint and stain of imperiaism-would this be dishonor? According to Teddy's code of honor it would, but the American people will clearly show on Nov. 6 that there are points of difference between their ideal states man and this vociferous rough rtdor

A CONGRESS OF FALSE rRBrHusEs.

The congress which adjourned last
week will be memorable in the history
of the country. For the first time in
nearly thirty years both OF its branches
have been controlled by the Republican
party. With a president and congress
that party could have given the country
what it promised in the St. Louis plat.
form. Has it done so?
In that platform the Republican party
pledged itself to promote international
bimetallism. President Mckinley ap-
pointed commissioners who went to Eu-
rope. but while there European nations
were given to understand by a member
of his cabinet that nothing but a gold
standard would satisfy the people Of this
country. The commissioners returned
chagrined and disappointed, and one Of
them, Senator Wolcott, explained why
their mission had proven a failure, and
charged the administration with bad
faith in sending them on wild goose
chase.
The Republican party was guilty Of
insincerity in pledging to promote bi
metallism by international arrangement
and that fact was made manifest few
months ago when, without consulting

Warren Hastings down, English deple-

ly lay much of the present evils at the
door of the most august British ma

In the United States senate on June I,
Mr.. Hale, of Maine, scored the British
government for its neglect of England's
chief colony during the famine, and
declared that she had millions to
destroy republics and only a beg
gar's dole for starving India" He
also declared that the relief sent
to India in 1897 from California,
Oregon, Washington, Nebraska, Kan
sas and Iowa, and transported free OF
charge in government ship, was never
officially acknowledged by the British
authorities. He might have added that
her majesty's government acted with
the same discourtesy when provisions
were sent to starving ireland in Ameri-
can ships in 1847. The British govern
ment OF that day had no sympathy for
its furnishing subjects across the chan
mel, and instead of distributing the food
donations from America among the peo-
pie it placed them in government stores
and allowed its victims to perish. 1t

The result of the battle may be known
before the Irish Standard is in the hands
of its readers. The British will suffer
heavily as they did around the Tugela
when they capture Spion Kop in
northern Transvaal. The war is far
from being over, and from present in
dications the British troops in South
Africa cannot leave for home as soon
as they expected. The Beers will fight
to the last man before they lay down
their arms and bend their necks to the
British yoke. If they manage to hold
out during the rest of the year they
may still be able to retain their indepen-
dence.

ter of Archbishop Ireland to the Duke
of Norfolk. Extracts are published in

informs us that schism OF tremendous
magnitude is on the eve of breaking out
in the United States and that Arch
bishop Corrigan has come to Rome to
make final attempt to avert it. There
was good deal of fun INDUCED in by
the New York contingent over the mat
ter. The Holy Father asked His Grace
of New York if the archbishop of St.
Paul had really in that letter attacked
the temporal power. Archbishop Cor
rigan assured His Holiness that there
was not even the remotest reference to
the temporal power in the letter.

these days." he continued, when money
is paid for dissolution to a hireling

The two former assertions I am not
prepared to dispute, although l trust the
honest and honorable still predominant
among us. But as to the last asser-

days money is not paid for absolution

A Letter from Blake.

Dallas, Tex, June 4.-General ]. Y.
F. Blake, commander of the Irish Brig
ade in the Boer army, was Texas cow
boy in early life and was known as
"Beau" Blake. Alexander w. Robert
son of Denton county received the fol-
lowing letter from General Blake today:
Helpmakkaar, Natal, April IL must
thank you and all my friends for the in
terest you have shown for me and my
welfare as an old Texan of Denton
county.
Yes, am no other fellow but the
Beau" Blake whom you knew so many
years ago. Here / am in the most adj
vanced position on the left flank of the
Boer forces in Natal, surrounded by
mountains and face to face with the
English. Until the war I believed the
English soldier the best in the world,
and now place him on par with the
Spaniard. When I tell you that not
one more than $500 burghers penned up
1900 English soldiers in Ladysmith
for four months, and that it took $4,000
soldiers and 100 cannon to relieve them,
you can imagine how well the Dutch
fight. Five thousand Dutch tried to
stop the $4,000, but failed because they
had but six cannon. 1t cost Butler more
than 5000 men to relieve 1900 in La
dysmith.
We are now 5000 strong along line
forty miles long, holding in check about
$4,000 English. If they had the nerve
they could drive US back but their loss
would be tremendous. This war is to
destroy the liberty and independence of
the Dutch and deprive them of their
gold fields to satisfy Rhodes, Chamber
lain and Miner. He that would serve
humanity best would have hung for their
perfidy the above trio of political rascals.
The Dutch are too liberal, too humane
and too strict in their observance OF the
rules governing civilized warfare to
contend with the English, who abused
the arlnistice, the red cross, the white
flag and murdered wounded captives

The Irish Brigade, which I have the
honor to command, is composed of
Irish and Instantaneous, and Drawer
and more determined lot of men you
will not find anywhere. I have seen
them put to the severest test but never
yet has a man swerved. They will
prove themselves an honor and credit
