lism' in 1896. and that they would not
abandon that principle. They felt that
Bryan's candidacy throughout the
west and south would have been weak
ened by the refusal to put specific l6
to ! plank in the platform, and that
was Why they insisted upon that ac-
ton. On the other hand, the leaders
in the eastern states realized that si!-
yer would be a handicap in the coming
campaign. They frankly admitted that
free coinage had defeated the party
in 1896, and they saw no chance OF win
ming this year on that issue.
This seems to define the lines on
which the campaign will be fought. II
will be the same fight over again. and
the republicans will have the ad-
vantage of being able to quote the
declaration of distinguished demo-
Gratis to the effect that the financial
question has been disposed of and that
prosperity has returned to the country
in spite of the gold standard. That the
money issue is the only one that has
been given earnest consideration is
proved by the fact that no other ques-
tion was seriously discussed by the
crowds at Kansas City. The dele
gates cared little for the issues of i'm
perialism. apparently, and while they
will follow the lead of Bryan in attacks
on the foreign policy Of the administra-
ton, it is plain that they will not re-
gard that as the vital issue of the cam
paign.

SILVER WILL NOT DOWN.
Bryan Has Committed Himself and
the Democracy and Cannot
Back Out.

The hope of the mu2wump enemies
of President Mckinley that Mr.. Bryan
would be placed in position where he
could force the silver issue into the
background and make his campaign on
the imperialism issue is not to be graf
flied. Silver is bound to be an impor-
tant issue of the campaign, no matter
how the eastern leaders Of the party
may try to ignore it, and no matter
what Bryan may do in the attempt to
push imperialism 10 the front after the
campaign has opened.
Bryan and his followers have gone
too far in committing the party to free
coinage at the ratio of 10 to l to take
the back track now. Even if a specific
declaration for silver had not been put
into the platform it would have been
impossible to evade the issue. Bryan's
open declaration of his purpose not TO
abandon the principle for which he
fought in 1896, and the avowal by his
followers of their belief in the virtue
of the issue of 16 to /, prove that the
masses of the democracy throughout
the west and south are as fully Gem
mitted to that iss ue now as they were
in 1896.
Furthermore, the discussion al the
meeting of the committee on resolu-
tions at Kansas City shows the senti-
ment of the leaders of the party. he

fought for the principle Of "bimetal-

A Pilfering Bryanite.

Mr. Webster Davis, tie self-consti-
tuted champion of the Boers, who re-
signed as assistant secretary of the
interior because of his dissatisfaction
with the administration, has still fur
ther displayed his dissatisfaction by
topping over to Bryan. He sigualized
his flop by making a speech at the
ratification meeting in Lincoln which
greatly pleased the sixteen to one can
didate as well as the notification com
mittee. Charmed with his oratory,
the democratic national committee
promptly arranged to have him ap-
pear on the stump in various cities as
a Bryan spell-binder. Their enthusi-
asm, however, suddenly cooled when
it was discovered that some of his
Lincoln speech was stolen almost
bodily from one of James A. Garfield's
speeches. 1t was about 16 parts Gar
field 20 cne Davis. 1t is not likely now
that the Bryanites viii be so eager
for che oratorical services of man
who shows such a disregard for the
use Of quotation marks. - Chicago

wonder why it is that SO many
men spend their days working hard
on rented farms, barely. making
enough to get along, with no great
prospect ahead of owning their
own homes, when within a few
hours journey is a land of plenty
Ne ebraska-where all kinds of
grain and fruit can be raised with
the least amount of labor; where
cattle and hogs fed on corn bring a
handsome profit; where the climate
is healthful and churches and
schools abound; where land is
cheap and can be bought on very
easy terms.
Think of this, and if you want
information about the country send
to me for "The Corn Belt"

DEFEAT OF BRYAN.
Prediction of John VI. Palmer. an Old
Democratic Warhorse of
Illinois.

"Mr. Bryan is not an inspired man.

vidually he is clean, and / credit him
with being honest in his opinions, but
at the same tine | cannot indorse
them. Populism has grown wonder
fully strong and wonderfully danger
Gus.
You predict his defeat?"
"Assuredly. The cry of Imperialism
will win him no votes to amount to
anything. It's a false alarm. This
country is not nor are Mr.. Mckinley
and his followers believers in imperial
ism. Cuba will be under self-govern-
ment in little while, and the Fill
pinos will be governed as best the adj
ministration can.
Pray, what would Mr.. Bryan have
had this country do with the islands2
We got them. and we will hold them
as they stand until some better scheme
presents itself for controlling them.
! think myself that the American gov
ernment would be better off without

met all the demands that have arisen
there manfully and honestly.

concerning the welfare of the whole
people, but as between him and Bryan

SO common an ailment the doctors are
putting forth every
effort to arrive at
"es learer under
standing OF it. The time has long gone
by, says writer in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post, since the
grape seed and the toothbrush bristle
were held accountable, and we may
now eat our grapes and brush our
teeth quite without the menace of a
month in the hospital. Medical men
generally agree that appendicitis is
due to the presence of e bacillus. One
of the latest and most ingenious theo-
Ties to account for the malady is that
put forth by a medical man who be-
lieves that it is caused by the habit
of sitting with the legs crossed. Nine
men out of ten-leaying tailors out of
the acknowledgement many of their
sedentary hours with the right leg
crossed over the left. AS the vermi-
form appendix is on the right side it
requires no great stretch of the imag-
ination to believe that such a posture
may cramp and constrict the little sac
to an extent sufficient to cause
trouble. Whether or not this explana-
ton be accepted there can be no harm
in crossing ones legs the other way
about.

Then, the story goes on to say, the

worms, which the lazy angler steals
and thus keeps himself supplied with

monia would finish what the storm has
left. Some substantial shelter must be
had at once for these people. 10 secure
this in the quickest possible way, the
National Red Cross has, with the CO.
operation of the general committee Of
Galveston, obtained estimates Of the
best known architects in the vicinity
regarding the material needed for con
structing houses enough for the I'M
sheltered, suffering thousands. The
estimate includes rough lumber, floor
ing tongued and grooved, window
frames and sash, door frames and doors,
hinges, screws books, staples, brick for
chimneys, squares of three-ply felt roof
ing, 50 kegs s-penny nails, II kegs 20
penny nails, and tools for hundred
carpenters. 1t is believed that Texas
and Louisiana would prefer to furnish
large portion of the lumber. The
other building material and household
goods must come from those States
which produce such articles.
Besides the articles above enumerat-
ed, bedsteads, bedding, chairs, tables,
stoves, crockery, cutlery, ETC., are re-
quired sufficient to furnish at least 700
houses in a modest and comfortable
manner One of the best things that
has yet been done by the Relief Com
mittee was the setting aside of $4,000
for the purchasing of tools, sewing
machines, ETC., for persons who can earn
their own living, but are now unable
to do so for lack Of necessary nipple
ments. While wages were at tirstsvery
eXorbitant in Galveston,-in some in
stances as much as Sl2 day being de
manded for work which ordinarily
brings quarter of that amount
they have now declined almost to the
normal scale. Everywhere the sound
of the hammer and trowel is heard, but
the laborers are far too few. Every
day shows some improvement in the
mass of wreckage: but at the present
rate of progress it will take years to
dispose of it all and find the last rotting
corpse at the bottom Of it. While

half an hour ago seven bodies were
found i'll one heap under fallen build
ing in the most populous part of the
city-traced by the awful odor. OF
course they are decomposed beyond
recognition-but some were identified
by their jewels or garments. One wo-

On the bosom of another was a small
