CONVERT STORIES TO ORDER,
Why Some Small Publishers Have
Gone Over to the Repub-
1fcan Side.

One of the ready-made editorials
just now being extensively circulated
among the rural press by the Hanna
campaign committee contains the
statement that no less than 30 news
papers in the state of Minnesota
have abandoned Mr.. Bryan" since
the beginning of this campaign and
gone over to Mckinley. The demo-
cratic national committee has been
at some pains to investigate the facts
and is able to state without reserva-
ton that this is almost wholly I'M
true. AS a matter of fact, not more
than two of the English papers in
Minnesota have made this change,
and in both of these cases there was
also a change of ownership under
circumstances which give no political
significance to the transfer. On the
other hand, five English papers in
Minnesota have changed from Nc
Kinley to Bryan, making net gain
for the Bryan cause of three English
papers.
1t is unhappily true that some of
the foreign newspapers, most of them
of small circulation, have succumbed
to the Establishments of the Hanna
treasury. At least some of them who
were formerly in poor circumstances
have of late raised the Mckinley ban
ner and at the same time shown signs
of unwonted prosperity.
1t is well enough to confess that
al committee is not able to follow Mr..
Hanna, not having at command the
purses of the trusts, railroad pools
and other beneficiaries of special priv
ilege as Mr.. Hanna undoubtedly has.

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

The democratic landslide is be
ginning early this time, and it looks
as if Hanna will not be able to head
it off, even if he had slush fund

When the advocate of a high
protective tariff admits that the home
manufacturer is able to undersell the
manufacturer he asks to be protect

the high protection idea.-Omaha

The republican party represents
the trusts. 1t represents all consol-
idations of wealth, whether industrial
trusts or combinations of capitalists
to control the moneyed centers of
the country. In plain English, the
republican party is the money party.

Traveller.
The administration is working
every branch of the government at
high pressure in the interest of the
republican party. The post Office de-
partment is particularly overworked.
It's activity is especially marked in
the direction of refusing second-class
privileges to publications unfavorable
to the reelection of Mckinley and
facilitating the circulation of those
that are friendly.-N. Y. Journal.

The stories Of our troops Iootinc
tne treasures of Picking and attack
ing the natives in the streets sound
very much like warfare in its mos,
repulsive form. The administration
seems to have no idea except to drift
along and keep the people in ignor-
ance just as it did in the Philippine
campaign.
There is . strong popular feeling
that II the administration has not
already been committed to a policy
OF imperialism it would bave found a

taken our troops out of China so
promptly that there could be no

The war tax comes home to the for

OF his native country, where every
thing was taxed, even to the number
of windows and doors in a house.
With one-third of our revenues al

THE BIRDS OF CHINA.
Some of the Feathered Creatures o
That Country Are of Re-
markable Beauty.

For centuries past the nations Of
The west have recognized that China
produced certain things which were
unmatched and unknown elsewhere,
but naturally the living treasures of
the country did not find their way
elsewhere as soon as the silks and the
tea. How eager those merchants who
found the sea passage to China were
to bring over those fine birds is
shown by the very early date at
which they were taken on board ship,
Vasco Da CANA only found the way
to India around the cape in 1497. Six
teen years later the Portuguese had
acclimatized the ring-necked pleas
ant, the far eastern lorm o. our COM
mon pheasant, in the island of ST.
Helena. where probably Mr.. Cronj e will
have the pleasure of dining off de-
scendants of the birds then planted"
for they throve greatly.
Fernandez Lopes, who deserted from
the army of Albuquerque at Goa, was
exiled and banished with a number
of negroes to st. Helena and supplied
with roots, seeds, poultry and pleas
ants" When the Elizabethan ex-
plorer Cavendish visited the island in
1888 he found these ring-necked pleas
ants in great abundance there. In 1878
they were still very numerous, and
not in any way altered in plumage
from the indigenous stock of north
China. Recently the same bird has
almost replaced our common pleas
ant. America has also imported it,
form of Chinese immigration which
is highly popular. A list of nine
states was recently given in which
the Chinese pheasants are thriving and
increasing, often with state aid and
protection. In Oregon it is said that
the golden pheasant is also estab-
lished in wild condition.

bOrO
Dear Sir: l have noticed in the papers
how much the people liked rural delivery.
There are over 20 families in the east part
of the town and in Vernon that have to
get their mail at Brattleboro, a distance
of from FIVE to nine miles, and not always
sure of getting it. When the office was
always received on Friday, now 1t is not
received until Saturday, and sometimes
it is most a week old on its arrival:
How would those that are rejoicing
about the free delivery like to have their
city paper nearly week old when re-
ceived?
ters in the afternoon could answer them
the next morning, and now they don
go out until afternoon and have to stay
In Brattleboro over night. One could
put in drop letters from one part to the
other and receive an answer the same
day, and now drop letters have to go to
Brattleboro and back. AS far as we can
learn no post office inspector has been
in this part of the town to look the route
over. l saw one in Guilford village with
the Brattleboro post master. In answer
to my objections at having my mail left
beside the road out of sight of any house
why don't you have box put up in
he did not know anything about the
route as Miss Brown lives one-fourth
of mile from where the mail is delivered
and off the road. There seems to be a
feeling that the mail in this part of the
town is of no consequence. There are
many heavy taxpayers here and in YER
non and 1t seems hard to pay such taxes
and be cut off with such poor postal
communications with the outside world.
These same conditions exist beyond the
centre of the town.
The post offices in town had to be closed
before they could get families enough to
patronize the rural delivery, and now IL

the grand old historic name and be called
Brattleboro rural delivery No. 8? Quite
a downfall to be attached to the tail end
of a kite and the kite named Brattleboro.
There are those that say as long as
they live in Gutlford that Guilford shall
be on their mail.

A Knight TempIar Praises Peruna
And Says, "I am Better Than Have
Been for Twenty Years."

Colonel t. P. Moody, prominent

Colonel Moody in the costume of the
Oriental Consistory Masons, 32d degree.
In n recent letter from 5000 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, Mr.. Moody says
the following:
"For over twenty-five years suffered
from catarrh, and for over ten years I
suffered from catsrrh of the stomach
terribly.
VI have taken all kinds Of medicines
and have been treated by all kinds Of
doctors, as thousands Of my acquaint-
ances are aware In different parts Of the
United States, where 1 have travelled,
but my relief was only temporary, until
little over year ago started TO take
Peruna, and at the present time am
better than Ihave been for twenty years.
1.-THE soreness has left my stomach
entirely and ! am free from Indigestion
and dyspepsia and viii say to ar who
are troubled with cafarrh or stomach
trouble of any kind, don't put II off
and suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away and keep II up until you
are cured, as you surely will be If you
perseVere.
My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die, as
they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with theresult
that she is better now than she has been
in years, and her cough has almost left
her entirely. The soreness has left her
lungs and she is as we'll as she ever was
in her life, with thanks, as she says, to
Peruna. Yours very truly,
T. P. Moody.
Catarrh assumes many forms and at
tacks many organs. Colonel Moody had
catarrh Of the stomach, while his wife
had catarrh of the lungs. Both were
cured by Peruna, simply because catarrh
is catarrh, wherever located. 1t may
attack one organ or another. 1t may be
chronic or acute. 1t may cause one a
slight Inconvenience or great suffering.

Williamson failed at goal. The remainder
of the half the ball was near the centre of
the field, Brattlebor0 failing to score on
