BREViTIES

The Galveston News tells the country
that it is money that is needed and not
food, clothing, etc.
Mr.. Bryan drove a spike home in this
from a recent speech of his:
mot n man in ten is really bene-
flied by the republican policy, tut that
one is expecting to make the campaign
contributions and then get his money
out of the other line"
The Baltimore Sun says the follow
ing is bad for gold bugs" 1t says:
THE bloated capitalists Of Kansas
to be in distress for want of customers
to borrow their money"
In Delaware the democrats are full
of fight. Speakers are to be heard in
almost every village. Bryan, Steven
son, Senator Blackburn and home
orators will appeal to the peopla.
London guzzles an immense amount
of liquors and beer, etc., but it swal-
lows also AZ, 600, 900 gallons Of milk.
In Georgia in the recent elections the
populist candidates received but a halt
of what they did in 1898.
In Anderson county, S. c., the ne
groes came near lynching a negro
named Prince Maxwell. He was en-
ployed to drive the wife of a negro from
Anderson to her home. He showed him
self in his real character. He Is now
in the hands OF THE sheriff.

Who was hit by this stone hurled so
straight? At the Saratoga convention
Governor Black spoke. He was sue
ceeded by the Rough Rider who is as
vain as a barnyard of ~peacocks and as
clustering as a gale off Boston haTbor.
His theme was political honesty very
scarce article, it may De believed, in
his end of the century. That he was
giving Roosevelt both fists upon his
face is no doubt evident. He seems
to understand the humbug we'll. He
said and it is true and it is we'll put:
81 believe that politics should be as
honest as the church / believe that
the level of political action should be
so high that corrupt influences can
neither break down nor defle it. But
1 believe. too, that honesty does not
consist in profession alone. Profession
without fulfllment is as dead as faith
without work. That man makes a
grievous blunder who believes that
pretending TO have done a thing is the
same as having done it. What the re-
publican party always demands is one
who believes that performance is the
substance and profession the shadow;
| hat TO do and TO be are great essen
tials of human life. and that to say is
but a speck upon the moving tide"

DIR. ALDERMAN BEFORE TULANE.

The address of President E. A. AL
derman LID. at the opening of Tu-
lane University, New Orleans, is a
fetching performance He was re-
revived with most enthusiastic greet
ings, and he made a talk that was
scholarly and happy as the Picayune
described it. It was more. 1t was
practical, wise and thoughtful. 1t ar
rested the attention of h great body
of students, perhaps one thousand in
number, and made friends of them. In
truth while far less rhetorical than
some of his other efforts, it vas sing
ularly artful. He put himself in i'm
mediate touch with the students
talked to them as friend to friend, as
one of them, VINO had not 5 long ago
been with the student class as a
member and still in familiar inter
course with them, and in close sympa-
thy. We could make some edifying
n appetizing extracts. But the best
way to gauge an intellectual effort

In Baltimore they have a small po-
Iitical association calling itself the
Democratic Honest Money League Of
America" 1t issues an address and
~impudently attacks as "deserters" all
of their crowd who refuse to follow
Mckinley. They do not remember
whence they came and how they them
selves are "deserters.". They publish
their seeds in the Baltimore Sun. In
the issue of that very able paper, now
doing stalwart wor against Mckinley,
there are some stanzas on The Cry of
the Honest Money League" The con-
Guiding lines run thus:
Then join US, fellow-citizens, and raise
our flag on high,
We're money-getters all Of US, and
money is our cry.
So hurrah for Money-Leaguegs Gill to-
day unknown to fame),
And hurrah for Colonel Marshall, too.
who gave Us our true name.
CHORUS.
20 we're merchants, and were bank
ers, and were solid mem galore;
We've made a pile of money, and We
want to make some more.
Then away with Fflipinos, and all that
rot, forsooth,
We're just a bioomin' 'Money-Lea-
que and that's the naked truth >

Roosevelt Worked Down

Rock Island. ILL.,, October 5.-Govern-
or Roosevelt, who spoke in this city
and Davenport, Iowa, tonight, thus
closing another day of hard campaign
ing. is beginning to feel the effects of
the arduous York undertaken by him
at the request Of the republican cam
paign managers. Governor Roosevelt,
since he began his itinerary through
the Northwestern states has spoken
from ten to twenty times each day,
closing the days labors usually with a
night meeting. Many of these meet
ings have been in the open air, re-
curing extra exertion on his part. He
has now been on this journey for E.ore
than thirty days and though strong
beyond the powers of most men to en-
dure, he is beginning TO show signs of
distress and a failing voice. He has
been worked numerically by the state
committee Of the different states
through which he has passed If some
relief is not afforded he may be unable
to last to h end Of the campaign

THE mercury stood at four degrees

made the Senate is not bound to act
upon it although the report will have
great weight with them.

The ice men are now certain that
they will be able to harvest more ice

count OF the new well that they have

THE Delicatessen now uses the
entire building of which it formerly
had but the first floor. The rooms
or. the second floor have been fitted
up for private dining rooms for
ladies and gentlemen and small par
ties of friends where they can be
nicely entertained

vented from filing the appointment

ent TO enjoy the lecture.
REGULAR board can be had at the
Delicatessen for $500 per week.
Nothing that will approach it can be
had for the money elsewhere in thi
vicinity.
GoRDoN's lecture was spoiled for
many people because there was alb
solutely no ventilation in the Hall
and the temperature went close to
one hundred degrees. There seems
to be an entire lack of knowledge on
the subject OF ventilation on the
part Of those who have to care for
halls and other places of public as
semblages in this place. The audi
ences either have to roast or freeze
without any fresh air from the time
they get in until they get out. Sew
eral people nearly tainted for lack
of air on Saturday evening.
Use j. G. McVicker's Pansy
Cream for the complexion.
II is understood among people who
know that there is less embarrass-
ment financially among our people
than the average over the state.
Throughout the state fifteen per cent.
of the farms are mortgaged, in this
county probably less than ten per
cent. Of them are encountered, A
careful survey Of this immediate To-
cality will show that in very rare in
stances are there cases where foreclos-
ure would be necessary in case Of a
panic or shrinkage of values. Al
most everyone who is in debt would
be able to pay without selling his
property. Our people are usually very
careful and conservative and do not
undertake enterprises they are not
prepared to carry through.
THE heater at the Public School
building has been out of order for
some DAYS and some of the rooms
were not well warmed. The result
has been that one teacher is inca
pacitated from duty on account of
the chill received and the pupils
were not very warm. The matter
has been remedied. At every stage
the greatest care is taken to look
after the comfort of the inmates and
the attention of those in authority
| is always directed toward getting
the best results along every line.
