service won for him the affection and regard Of
the various Secretaries he served under. Cant
belonged to the old school of negroes. and while

much more elaborate. His service in the Smith
sonian began under Professor Henry, who, Cant
always contended, was the greatest American
of his day. No one could have been more kind
and gentle with a servant than was this savan
with his devoted Cant, whom he often affirmed
he trusted as he did himself. Cant repaid his
patrons kindness in every possible way, and
stood guard over his sanctum that he might net
be disturbed by the passersby. who were warned
if they came too near that they must be quiet as
the Secretary was inside.
None of his successors quite equalled Pro

General Simon B. Buckner, Of

candidate for Vice President on
the National Democratic ticket,

s'The advices that I have re-

Goebelism. Bryan, in his trip
through Kentucky, identified
himself with Goebelism and drove
away from his support the real
Democracy of the State. The
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan on the
Kansas City platform is in oppo-
sition to the principles of true
Democracy, and his election
would be menace to civil liberty.

he never will say, he has aban-

it at Kansas City.
IT have said AIr. Bryan is an
honest, If not a practical, man.
What he says he believes he can
do, and will never falter in his
attempt to do it.
He is a dreamy idealist. He
talks and acts and believes, IT
he were President, by q wave Of
his magic wand, as 'twere, he
can make desert blossom; that
he can do away with want and
misery, and make all his sub
jects prosperous and happy. In
other words, that he is possessed
Of the mysterious power that can
make the world an Utopia, if you
give him a chance.

the wages. Why should you de-

the better? And that better

PRESERVE NATIONAL HONOR

Edward S. Bragg, soldier,
statesman and lifelong Demo-
crat, came out squarely Tor Pres
ident Mckinley in a speech at the
Pabst Theater, Milwaukee, on
October 18th. He did more. He
exhorted the Gold Democrats, at
whose solicitation he publicly
made known his views, to do like
wise as a step essential to the
preservation OF national honor.
General Bragg said, among
other things:
''The heart Of this great peo-
pie has always beat loyal to the
government when the war trump
sounded, and has never tolerated,
and will never tolerate, encour-
agement to a public enemy, while
he is robbing, fighting, staying

GERMAN PAPER LEAVES
BRYAN

The German Tribune, Of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, the only Ger
man paper published in that
State, has left Bryan's standard.
The reasons for the change are
that the Tribune believes in pros
perity and sound money, and
that the cry Of simperia1ism" is
false. The Tribune supported
Bryan four years ago. It has q
circulation Of $4,000 weekly all
over the State, and 5000 daily
in Leavenworth.
