aDueals to Fenr.

The appeals to fear have well nigh
ceased, and yet there is no fact which
we are so compelled to see as the fact
of retribution. The law of retributiOE
works in our. present life. We become
aware of it in our earliest infancy, and
we never become developed in charac-
ter until we have learned to fear that
which is evil and to shun the conse-
quences of sin. There is a sense of
Righteousness in all men, and all men
know that unrighteousness brings pun
ishment. 1t is fair to assume that
what is part OF mans very structure
here will continue hereafter. We may
give up entirely the notion of mate
rial hell, but we cannot give up the
doctrine of retribution. Suffering must
follow sin, and therefore to appeal to
fear is not only legitimate, but it is in
accordance with the structure of mans
nature.-North American Review.

from their standpoint. that the Beers
refuse to stay whipped even If Lord
Roberts is in possession of Pretoria.
The German-Americans, in common
with many other citizens, sympathize
strongly with the Beers in their
.pIucky fight for freedom. and as long
as they remain unconquered the re-
publican party's attitude of sympathy
with Great Britain will be campaign
issue. These people who are fighting
for independence have curious way
of obstructing the designs of imperi-
alism. Great Britain cannot spare
her troops from South Africa for
China any more than the administra-
tion can take its troops from the
Philippines. 1t is really very vexing
to the parties to the Anglo-American
alliance that circum stances make it
so ineffective at this time.

Yes, August Flower. still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
lgrandmothers never. thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervousNprostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action Of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,

there is nothing serious the matter

The Income Tax.

Seme discussion has been raised
concerning the reasons for the omis-
sion of an explicit reiteration CT the
demand for an income tax in this
years platform. The facts are these:
A draft of the platform was submitted
TO the committee on resolutions,
which. as is always the case, went
over it with the greatest care, elimi-
mating every redundant word or
phrase and reducing the whole to the
smallest proportion consistent with
clearness and the needs of the occa-
sion. The Chicago platform was re-
affirmed. The question arose as to
which of the specific demands made
in the Chicago platform should be
again definitely restated. Sixteen to
one came first, and debate upon that
was deferred until the whole platform
had been read over. Government by
injunction was regarded as q clause ap-
pealing directly TO the labor classes,
which could not be omitted without
giving reason to suspect bad faith.
II WAS urged that the income tax was
so thoroughly n democratic meas
ure and was so little antagonized
by any well defined class that it
might reasonably be left included
simply in the general reafirmAtion-
There was some discussion upon this
matter and finally the clause WAS
hracketed aud left for action after the
committee should have finished its
