liam Jennings Bryan to teach the gospel
of apprehension in 1900, said Keo-
kuk man yesterday, for he comes Of
good copperhead stock from what I hear.
They say his father wac nowling against
the war in 1864 as lo01ly as the son is
bowling against our war against the
rebels in the Philippines today
Somebody wanted to know more about
that, and the speaker said ne heard
about it from medical student who got
1T from another student from down
Salem Way in Illinois,
A little investigation by the Gate City
brought out that the student from
southern Illinois is II. E. Wilson, who is
here attending medical college and
boarding at 1904 High street. Mr.. VIII
son was born and raised in the same
county as the demo-pop candidate for
| the presidency, and he and his relatives
are stalwart republicans, chiefly on that
account. He was willing to talk to a
Representative of the Gate City and
said:

congress down home in 1864. which was

the war.
Bryan's father campaigned the dis
igtrlct for congress and made a number

ne used this language:

the prosecution of this urhoiy war.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

In referring to a democratic speech
made in Jefferson by Dies Moines
man, the Bee says: The gentleman
stated that he was a lawyer and in the
habit OF speaking 10 a jury Of twelve
men. This may account for the fact
that the size Of the Jefferson audience
did not disconcert him.
In an article endorsing and iustifying
the expansion Of our nation, the Algona
Upper Des MONIES declares that i'm
stead of our being on the road towards
IA vugnr, commonplace empire, we are
bringing the vulgar. commonplace en-
spires to a higher appreciation OF the
power Of liberty TO expand untilait shall
zone day take the earth. a great event
in the history of the ages is transpiring.
A new century is bringing new resopn-
lsioilities and new opportunities. Those
Who have eyes to see are looking at a
brilliant sun rise. The anti-imperiai-
lists have smoked a lot of glass and are
Hooking for an eclipse. "
The Keokuk Gate City suggests that
the paramount Issue in this, as in
|every other, campaign is the welfare of
the people. No dictum by Bryan or
anybody else can, alter this fact"
The oelwein Register remarks that
.sGroyer was go cruel. That letter en-
dorsing Bryan never came
THE other day his train went on its
way leaving Bryan behind it. The
country will shortly follow the exam
I pie Of that train, says the Davenport
Democrat.
The odebolt Chronicle strikes
straight from the shoulder in asserting
| that Bryan is a dangerous nlan-dR n
gerous because he has no convictions
that he is not ready to sacrifice in or
der to advance his own personal for
tunes. There is not an honest hair in
his head. Altgeld is an ADLER and. q
better man; yet were Altgeld running
for president the country would be hor-

poE.s IDEA OF THE CRAVEN,

Poe,s poem on the Raven is one of
the quaintest in our literature. Where
did he get his idea !? He is at this late
date accused of borrowing. from the
Chinese. 1t is recalled that Poe took
satisfaction in imputing plagiarism TO
several American writers. and now an
English Journal processes to find the
source of his most famous poem in an
Ancient Chinese writer ma med Kai vi
who lived about 100 B. C. The Chinese

that the Monaghan bird is more vols

The bird raised its head and tapped
its wings; its mouth could not articu-

I ventured to interpret its meaning:

Before their armies move to kill

And cross and sullen. yet
He's won his crown of martyrdom
A thousand times, you bet!

CURRENCY DECENTRALIZATION POSSIBLE.
In the popular mind the true effect Of
the currency law OF March. 1900 in sus-
tanning the parity of gold and silver is
little understood. Many persons sup
pose that under the terms of that act
It is possible TO demand gold in ex-
change for silver specie or certificates.
The law does not provide for the ex-
change of gold for silver for the reason
that such course would inevitably
mean an uninterrupted drain OF the.
6earer commodity and a constant in
hux of the cheaper The necessity for
such system of exchange is obviated
by restricting the volume of silver cir
culation within strict limits and by
making that silver the currency of
common and familiar domestic use.
The silver money Of the country being
about sone-fourth of the total. it is pos
sible to maintain shat amount of silver.

there We're free coinage Of silver as
there is free coinage of gold. il would
be impossible thus to maintain virtu-.
al parity between the metals.

the eyes of the treasury department.:
the law does not permit redelnptions of
