A PRIZE.

That book, Home Made Contriv-
ances,' is richly worth 81 to everyone OF
our subscribers who gets it. besides
the two papers offered with it,
1t will suggest to every home owner
an hundred ways to save labor and
make things convenient all about his
premises.
1t will save every man more than 81
the first three months after he gets it.
1t is the greatest chance our readers
have ever had to get up club and build
UP our subscription.
In 1892 to 1894 hundreds of our friends
sent us clubs. These men, since that
time have become discouraged. There
is much now in the situation to renew
their courage. Great events are fast ap-
preaching and near at hand.
1t is duty of every reformer to do
something to push our cause. We push
the propaganda work every week. Again
we call upon all our friends to send us
IT, new subscriptions. If you can get
only one neighbor you are doing a
great good. Do not despair. Principles
that are just never die. E. A. T.

came very near being the man Of the
hour.
Since 1896 Bryan has tried to unite
both wings of his party. he denies his
Populism, he has bent tie knee to Tam
many and in 1900 we find his vote enor-
mously reduced. Bryan, as a Democrat,
can never be president or again come
&C near being the man of the hour a. he
did when he was not ashamed Of his
POpulism in 1896.
The man OF the hour who can lead the
united reform forces must renounce all
allegiance to both the old parties and
come out openly against the power Of
concentrated wealth and must refuse
to affiliate with plutes of any party and
he must cut loose from the old dogma
of metal base for money and must take
advanced ground on the question OF
public ownership.
II Bryan had taken this position In
the last election he would have lost very
few votes in the East where Democrats
generally voted for Mckinley, and he
would have gained largely among dis
satisfied Republicans and from all West
ern reform factions.
With Mr.. Washburn, it seems desir-
able to us to hold an early conference
and get such movement started.
Meanwhile the nation will watch for
the man of the hour.
If Bryan expects to be it he must ad-
vance and forsake plutocratic COM
pany. E. A. T.

He Could Not Win.

Bryan could not win. The neonlo
Vi thls country would not vote for man
VINO procured the ratification of the
treaty with Spain, which included the
purchase of the Philippines. and then
howled about imperialism. Thev wou,d
not vote for man who advocated free
silver to catch Populist votes and then
abandoned the issue to get votes of gold
Democrats. They would not vote for
man who doWned David B. Hill and
croker IN 1896 and in 1900 nearly broke
himself in two to get in bed with them
Ihey would not vote for man who de-
nounced trusts and yet had no remedy
Tor the evil excepting to license them.
lhey would not sustain a party which
had as it's head manager !. K. Jonec
who was all hCoped up in the cotton hale
trust. and frozen solid with the Now
York ice trust. They paid no attention
TO Bryans screed about the consent of
the governed when he was stumping for
the Infamous Goebel in Kentucky. or
while the red shirt Democrats were ter
rifying the negroes in North Carolina
and denying the right of free speec;,
throughout the South, and while every
Southern state notoriously denied men
their political rights by fraud, intimida-
tion and ballot box stuffing. Every vote
he got in the East, counting gold Demo-
Gratis, cost him two votes in the West.
where his perfdity to old issues was
understood. He was the weakest candi-
date the Democrats could have nominat-
ed because his attitude on so MANY is
sues was SO inconsistent and because
the people had reached the conclusio,
that Bryan had become infatuated with
the desire for the presidency to such ar
extent that he was willing to and had
compromised his principles.
We may have overlooked some of Bry-
ans weaknesses in the above review. but
we have enumerated enough to explain
his overwhelming defeat.-Review.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.

MORRIS. Mimi, Nov. 21.-John A. Gilti-
nan was found dead in his bed at the hotel
Monday afternoon. AS he was addicted TO
drink. it is thought that he took too much
of an opiate to sober up on. He was "A
years old, and a native of Pennsylvania
Mr. Giltinan had been probate judge of this
county, and was village justice at the
time of his death. He had a most brilliant
intellect, but abused it. He is said to have
assisted Ignatius Donnelly on his books,
and to have worked with l.. H. Stanton on
the life of the great war secretary. He was
an ardent Democrat and during the recent
campaign worked night and day as secretary
of the county committee. His disappoint
ment at the way things went is attributes
by some as the cause of his death. He sat
around listlessly since election day. He was
for several years deputy city clerk of st.
Paul
Thus perished, in the prime of his
life, true and noble gentleman. Brok-
en-hearted over the defeat of Democracy,
to which he attributed all the good quail
ties of his own soul, he went to the grave
with it. l. D.

(Chippawa Falls Catholic Sentinel.)
There is no Christian that can think
OF our Lords personal appearance upon
earth, without attriOuting to him a noble
presence, comely form, majestic ap-
pearance, and countenance filled with
heavenly love, and beautiful beyond ex-
preston, and so he is represented by the
great limners of the medieval ages. But
the early fathers of the church speak of
him in terms far otherwise. "His
beauty" says st. Clemens of Alexandria,
was not in his soul and his actions, but
in his person he was base''
Justin Martyr describes him as being
without beauty, without glory, without
honor" What the writer meant by
these phrases is not easy to explain.
They seem to contradict Christ's own
statement that he was honored Of the
Father. Origin says his body was small
and mishapen and ignoble Terulian
tells us his body had no human hand
someness, much less any celestial splen-
dor" All these patriarchs OF the church
lived near to the Savior's owns time.
And, stranger still, as we learn from
origin, the heather philosopher CELSIUS,
argued from the traditional meanness
and ugliness of aspect of the Redeemer.
that he could not have had divine ori-
gln Other ancients of the church went
still further, and applied to him the say
ing OF lsaias, chapter LIII., V. 4, which
reads: Surely He hath born our infrm-
tiles, and carried our sorrows. and we
have thought him as it were a leper. and
as one struck by God and afflicted" On
the other hand, ST. Jerome will not have
IL that the Son of God could be of low,
vulgar appearance. He says, there was
something starry in the farm which
enshrlned an Eternal Divinity and in
finite holiness" But this is only arer
ment.
1t seems odd that none of the eyangel-
ISIS discuss the personal appearance Of
the Savior We have a description Of
the angel that rolled away the stone
from the sepulchre and of the two men
In white which Mary Magdelene saw
sitting by the place where the body Of
Jesus had lain, but nothing of the ap-
pearance of him, who had died upon the
cross, except that he appeared to her as
common man whom she took to oe
the gardener and did not know that it
was Christ until he said Mary It
would be bootless undertaking to trace
up all that has been written upon tho
personal appearance of the ''Son of
MAN, out we remark that as time rolled
on, the idea of giving him noble aspect
commanding form, and a countenance
1ull OF goodness and benignity prevailed

NOT GUILTY..

Some weeks ago We noted an editorial
in the columns of the Messenger, pub
ished formerly by Frank Burkitt, and
It's tone was so unfair and unjust toward
the candidates on our national Mid
road ticket that we commented upon It
thereto we have received from Hon.
Frank Burkitt the following kindly let
ter:
OkOLONA Miss, Nov. 14.-Hon. f. A.
Twitchell-My Dear Sir: 1t is obvious from
recent article in the Representative you
have overlooked the fact that on the 18th
OF October last l sold my paper and with
the issue of Oct. II, 1900 after continuous
servitude of % years, retired from journal
ism. | am therefore in no wise responsible
for the Messenger article of which you
complain.
With kindest personal regard for Brother
Donnelly and yourself I am still yours fra
ternally, FRANK BURKITT.
Before receiving this letter we had
learned that the editorial was the WORK
of Abe Steinberger, and that Mr.. Bur-
kit was in no sense guilty We are
rejoiced and much gratified to see from
the kindly tone of this letter that Mr..
Burkitt feels that Mr.. Barker and Mr..
DOnnelly were up against a very hard
proposition and that Mr. Donnelly dur
ing the campaign did quite as much for
party success as could have been expect
eel OF sick man. We are sorry to see
so good a man as Col. Burkitt retire
from reform journalism. e. A. T.

the Nonconformist henceforth walk with
