ENFORCE THE LAW.

We charge upon our officers the en-
forcement of the law. No matter what
the law is, if it is law it must be en-
forced, in the interest of life, property
and the community's well-being. If
the law is bad one enforce it strictly
and it will be the sooner repealed. Let
every citizen not only demand OF
officers the execution of all law but
help them. Officew are only men, and
cannot enforce the law without the
help of private citizens. II all the peo-
pie would help enforce all law there
would be very few violations, and very
short, inexpensive terms of court.

DEATH OF MRS. BISHOP.

Our community was greatly shocked
on Sunday morning last on learning of
the death Of Mrs. Sallie Bishop, wife of
our esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr.. A. A.
Bishop, sheriff OF the county. She had
been sick about two weeks with cold,
which did not yield to treatment as
readily as was desired, but on Saturday
it was thought she was some better.
She was suffering from pain on Satur-
day night and the attending physician
gave medicine to alleviate it. Between
one and two O'Clock Sunday morning
she sweetly fell asleep b Jesus and her
spirit took its departure from its ten
ement of clay. The family had but re-
Gently moved into their new home on
Washington Avenue, but the Savior
had mansion above, not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" which
He had prepared for her.
She was in the 25th year of her age
and leaves one daughter, Eunice, sew
Ell years of age. Mrs. Bishop was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert A.
McCollum, of Gritter district. Her
father has been seven weeks on his bed
sick with typhoid fever, and the death
of his daughter was great shock to
him.
Mrs Bishop was a member of the
Methodist church and was a sweet
| spirited, christian woman, a most de-
voted wife and loving mother. Her
sad taking off at so early an age is one
of those mysterious providences we
cannot understand, but God doeth all
things we'll He is too wise to err, too
good to be unkind.
The bereayed husband has the pro-
found sympathy of our people in the
great loss he has sustained.
The remains were carried Monday to
Little River cemetery, in Cherokee
county, for burial. Rev. w. w. Wads-
worth conducted the funeral services.
The pail bearers were Judge Geo.
F. Gober, Col. E. w. Frey, Mr.. J. N.
CAN'T, Col. P. d. McCleskey, Col. J. q.
Foster, and Col. w. r. Power.
Many beautiful flowers covered the
casket as loving tokens OF respect from
| friends.
There comes times in all of our lives
when no word of human sympathy and
coincidence can calm the troubled
breast, and we can but point them to
Him who is the giver of all life end the
source of all comfort and consolation.
There must come to us all times Of be-
reavement, when if it were not for the
fact that, "Hope bends over mans last
resting place bow bright with immor-
tality, and listening love may catch
the rustic of wing" we should be of
| all men most miserable

the business interests are coming out
even stronger against him than four
years ago. Many Democrats who did
not, then vote, or voted for Palmer.
are now out openly for Mckinley.
Many others are not saying anything
publicly, but to their friends are stat
ing that they shall vote for Mckinley.
The indications are that this
latter vote will be large this
year, and especially so in the light of
Mr.. Bryan's statement in speech in
Nebraska last week that he and his
party believes just as strongly in free
trade as it did in 1892 just as strong
ly in free coinage as it did in 1896,
but that there are other things of more
Importance just now. If there is
Mr.. Bryan has failed to present them.
Nothing would strike the nation as
hard as the carrying out of the policies
which Mr.. Bryan says his party believes
in as empathically as four and eight
years ago. Mr.. Bryan may make a
dozen deals with Boss Croker, but they
can hardly carry New York on that
score. Mr.. Bryan's election would
mean the carrying out of the policies
he says his party believes in, during
his term, free trade and free coinage,
which means in practice-FREE
LUNCH AND FREE SOUP HOUSES
AND DISASTER.

ROOSEVELT'S TRIP.

Gov. Roosevelt is now in Utah,
where he is receiving great recep-
tion. The trip of the vice presidential
candidate through the west and es-
pecially through what were known as
the silver states in 1896, has been one
grand ovation. People have turned
out to hear him by the thousands, and
he has made some very telling
speeches And there is every evidence
that the people have been with him.
There has been an entirely different
one to their reception to him, than is
the case with Bryan. 1t has not been
one of curiosity to hear what he would
say and how he would say it. He is
not the catchy orator that Bryan is,
and does not play upon words like the
silver advocate does, but goes direct
at the proposition he has in hand, in
most forceful way. The Roosevelt
trip is proving a great force in crys-
talizing public sentiment through the
west in favor of Mckinley and his
broad statesmanlike policies and good
results well show up from it in No
vember That the Democrats are scared
by the enthusiasm created, is evil
denced in that they discarded the idea
that Towne was heavy enough to
counterfeit the effect, and so pulled
Bryan off from territory east and next
week will put him through the--Dako-
tas in the vain hope of saving his fast
failing fortunes there from complete
wreck. But Mr.. Bryan with his
DOGGY imperialism and demogogic anti
trust features cannot stem the tide
that has set in for Mckinley. He will
do one good thing, however, and that
is he will serve to awaken the people
more thoroughly to the dangers that
would threaten them by his election
and SO help get out larger vote to
help encompass his own defeat.

UNFULFILLED PREDICTIONS.
Two That Bryan Made Which Did Not
Land.

New York Tribune Col. w. J.
Bryan, in his own book on The First
Battle, quotes with assumed ap-
prevail of his remarks made at Balti-
more on Sept. 10, 1896, when he said
''If we win this fight now reform
will begin at once if we are defeated
in this campaign there is nothing be-
fore the people but four years of harder
times and greater agitation, and then
the victory will come. Our opponents
say they want to restore confidence,
but the Republican party cannot re-
store prosperity in this country so long
as that prosperity is doled out to us by
foreigners who profit by our distress. -
Mr.. Bryan was mistaken about some.
of the things he then spoke of. Pros
perity has come, although he still dis
putes its arrival, and confidence has
insisted upon reasserting itself in
degree that was lacking before his de-
feat in 1896 was assured. The orator
has changed his song little but he
has not changed his mind He is still
of the disposition that led him to as
sert at Minneapolis, in the same cam
paign, and as he himself quotes:
1.-THE gold standard means dearer
money; dearer money means cheaper
property, cheaper property means
harder times, harder times means
more people out of work, more
people out of work. means more
people destitute, more people desti-
tute means more people desperate,
more people desperate means more
crime.
Mark the confusion of the false pro-
phet Money is not dearer in Mime
sofa than it was when Mr.. Bryan
spoke these words, but cheaper Times
are not harder. There are fewer peo-
pie out of work than in 1895. There
are fewer people destitute, fewer des-
perate, and, if Mr.. Bryan's logic is
good for anything reversed, there must
have been decrease of crime with the
adoption of the gold standard and the
prosperity that has persisted in follow
ing the right settlement of that ques-
ton
