Mr. Brysn;s speech at Indiana oils

emphasizes it and vindicates it. But

any abandonment or abatement OF the
frankness and sincerity which have
always distinguished him would be
little short of a national calamity.
We need not accept Mr.. Bryan as an
infallible or even as sound authority
on economics to acknowledge that his
integrity, his truthfulness and abso-
lutte sincerity have been among the
most salutary influences of this gen
Grafton on our political life.
In this open fight for liberty surely
every anti-im perialist should be ready
TO bear his part. Hesitation to avail

can be made effective through distrust
Of the leaders views on economic
questions not now in issue would be
IS senseless as hesitation to employ q
surgeon on whose skill depended the
sole prospect of life, through dislike
of his religious beliefs.
The best evidence of our capacity
to deal with the issues of 1902 or 1904
whatever they NAV be, is TO deal in
teIligently now with the issues OF
1900. Ga that issue Mr.. Bryan stands
for Justice. liberty and the constitu'

The Very Idea !

II is indeed sad to read the reports
from Porto Rico and to note the
thankless character of the people of
that island. Because under the new
American tariff they find themselves
in a state of business depression
which impOverishes the many and en-
riches the few, there is great, wide
spread feeling OF bitter dissatisfac-
tion throughout Porto Rico. Rents
have gone up, food has gone up.
about all the necessaries of life have
advanced in price, and yet the people
of Porto Rico grumbie. They keep
harping on the promise made by Gen.
Miles, that they should be governed
under the constitution and with the
liberties enjoyed by the American
people. and they point with strange
indignation to the fact that thev are
subject TO impoSitious and taxes that
were never before levied upon terri
tory of the United States. They have
the American flag over them. but in
stead OF being thankful for that they
insist that II should be allowed TO
mean TO them just what il means to
the people of Arizona and Oklahoma,
preposterous demand indeed ,-Bos-
ton Advertiser.

MEDICAL TREATMENT FREE
For Three Months Ia offered to All In
vaIids Who Call Upon the British
Doctors at No 1909 Second

stitute have. at the urgent solicitation
! of large numb of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in

cided TO give their services entirely

cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now

not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is TO become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
ficted, and, under nc condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before Sept. i.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities. and guarantee q
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer. varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
