WHAT FOOLS.

At Kinley Junction, Ind, Henry
Winstead and John Barnes have made
wager. If Mckinley is elected
Barnes is to get down on his hands and
knees in Winstead's orchard and en-
gage in butting contest with a South
down ram that has a record of knock
ing hole through a wall maze of three
inch oak planks. In case of Bryan's
election, Winstead will drink three
pints of hard cider while standing on
his head in an empty flour barrel.
At Burr Oak, Mich, Arthur Will
liams has entered into a written agree
ment to support George Stephens
mother-inlaw during the rest of her
natural life if Bryan is elected presi-
dent next fall Should Mckinley be
reelected, Stephens is to publicly
twist the tail of vicious mule that
Williams owns, repeating the perform
ance every day for three weeks or until
the twister is permanently disabled.
In Illinois Horace Wilkes, of Peru.
and Walter Cartwright, of LaSalle,
have made an election bet which is
strange, but true. Wilkes, who is an
ardent republican, agrees if Bryan is
elected to give up his present business
and hire himself to Cartwright as
nurse for the latter's twin babies. now
six months old, at salary of 80 cents
week in silver, continuing in such
service until voluntarily released by
his employer. Cartwright has signed
articles in which he promises if Nc
Kinley succeeds himself as president
to look after Wilkes furnace and keep
his sidewalk cleaned next winter with
out remuneration of any kind. Fur
thermore he is to have the right side
of his head and face shaved twice a
week for four years, but the left side
is to be touched neither by shears nor
razor during that time.

TRUE ECONOMY.

Economy isn't stinginess, by any
means. There is no niggardliness about
it, but there is care and prudence, two
fine qualities yielding large returns to
their possessor.
Economy is getting the greatest good
of any expenditure, large or small.
Now, this does away with the idea that
the expenditure must necessarily be
small. One may be economical and yet
spend his last penny.
By watching carefully the little, pro-
yokingly little, crevices through which
many pennies lose themselves away
from US, we can save enough to allow
US to purchase something real good
Economy doesn't mean to strip one s
self of any desired pleasure, but it does
mean to mend the holes of carelessness,
that somehow wear into the fabric of
our everyday lives, and see that there
is no useless wastage.
Away back in the days of old, when
Christ taught by precept the true mean
ing of what we often now read too care
lessly, He taught, among other things,
the true economy. He said to the dis
ciples, gather up the fragments that
| remain, that nothing may be lost" He,
who at a word could command food
enough to feed the universe, was so
careful of that which remained of his
bounty. 1t is true economy to pay out
| money for good article, but not econ
omy to pay out half that money on a
poor one. 1t is true economy to buy
what is needful, and the opposite to
pay for what one does not require even
though half the sum it was worth was
asked for it. 1t is true economy to
hire help and try not to do all there is.
The interest of money thus expended
will end in unshattered nerves, a sple :
did digestion, an elastic step, and
| more than all, continual interest in
life and the living. 1t is true economy
to utilize the little minutes as they fly.
A thousand of those little minutes
added together make sad wastage if
not made good use of, and one can save
everyone if so minded.
Be thus economical in little things.
Save to give and give to save, and know
that it is ds much virtue to be truly
economical as it is a crime to be miser-
ly. Save your money that you may
have it to spare when you need it, and
use your time profitably, so that if
dark days come the interest on such
investments will tide you through.

ORGANISMS.

Ii, in this country, where the people
have the right to vote, Republican
leaders dare not take the side of the
people against the great monopolies
which have grown up in the last few
years, how can they be trusted to pro-
tect the Filipinos from the corporations
which are waiting to exploit the islands?
A small standing army and we'll
equipped and we'll disciplined state
militia are sufficient in ordinary times
and in an emergency the nation should
IN the future as in the past place it's
dependence upon the volunteers who
come from all occupations at their
country's call and return to productive
labor when their services are no longer
required-men who fight when the
country needs fighters and work when
the country needs workers.
Imperialism would be profitable to
the army contractors; it would be
profitable to the ship owners, who
would carry live soldiers to the Phili-
pines and bring dead soldiers back; it
would be profitable to those who would
seize upon the franchises and it would
be profitable to the officials whose sal
aries would be fixed here and paid over
there; but to the farmer, to the labor
ing man, and to the vast majority of
those engaged in other occupations, it
would bring expenditure without re-
turn and risk without reward

the party's position upon this subject
in unequivocal terms.
The currency bill, which received the
sanction of the Executive and the Re,
publican members of the House and
Senate, justifies the warning given by
the Democratic party in 1896. 1t was
then predicted that the Republican
party would attempt to retire the
greenbacks, although the party and
It's leaders studiously concealed their
intentions. That purpose is now plain,
and the people must choose between

sued and controlled in volume by the
government, and national bank note
currency issued by banks and con-
trolled in their own interests. IL the
national bank notes are to be secured
by bonds, the currency system now
supported by the Republican party
involves permanent and increasing
debt, and, SO long as this system
stands, the financial classes will be
tempted to throw their powerful infu,
cnce upon the side of any measure
which will contribute to the size and
permancy of national debt. 1t is
hardly conceivable that the American
people will deliberately turn from the
debt paying policy of the past to the
dangerous doctrine Of perpetual bonds.
After discussing the income tax, the
Nicaraguan canal project, the Monroe
doctrine, the demand for arbitration
between corporations and their en-
ployes and other planks of the Kansas
City platform, Mr.. Bryan concludes
his letter as follows:
The subjects, however, treated in
this letter, important as each may
seem in itself, do not press so imper-
atively for solution as the question
which the platform declares to be the
paramount issue in this campaign.
Whether we shall adhere to, OF aban-
don those ideas of government which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations, and given to its history
its peculiar charm and value, is a
question, the settlement of which can,
! not be delayed. No other question
can approach 1t in Importance; no 9th
er question demands such immediate
consideration. 1t is easier to lose IL
reputation than to establish one, and
this nation would find 1t a long and
laborlous task to regain its proud posi-
tion among the nations, il, under the
stress of temptation, it should repudi-
ate the self-evident truths proclaimed
by our heroic ancestors ana sacredly
treasured during q career unparalleled
in the annals of time. When the doc
trine that the people are the only
source of power is made secure from
| further attack, we can safely proceed
to the settlement of the numerous
questions which involve the domestic
and economic welfare of our citizens.
Very truly yours,

Exhales from children as fragrance from
flowers. The little lips are always puck
cred to give or take kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
its fairest and sweetest proportions. In
cliildless homes the kiss of wife and
husband grows formal, and presently is
neglected the springs Of love in the
heart become choked for want of use
and exercise. Childlessness is a great
sorrow to many women. It is like a
curse from Nature, who bids all crea-
lures to be fruitful. II is not curse
but misfortune. Often the conditions
which cause childlessness are removable.

1.-The Issues Discussed.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1S-Mr. Bryans
letter accepting the Democratic NOM
ination for President is substantially
as follows:
Hon. James D. Richardson, chair
man. and Others Of the Notification
Committee Of the democratic National
Convention -Geptlemen: In accepting

half of the Democratic party, beg to

by tho voters who gave instruction to

which rest upon the chief magistrate

reaching effect of the questions involv-
ed in the present contest.
In nv letter of acceptance of 1896
made the following pledge:
so deeply am impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested by
the constitution in the chief executive
of the nation and with the enormous
influence which he can WELD for the
benefit or injury of the people, that
wish to enter the Office, if elected, free
from any personal desire, except the
desire to prove worthy of the conf
dence of my countrymen. Human
Judgment is fallible enough when un-
biased by selfish considerations. and,
in order that may not be tempted to
use the patronage of the office to ad'
vance any personal ambition? l here
by announce, with all the emphasis
which words can express, my fixed de-
termination not, under any circum-
stances, to be candidate for re-elec-
ton, in case this campaign results in
my election"
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands nv cordial and unquali-
fed approval. 1t courageonsly meets
the issues now before the country, and

administration proves conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
the desire or ability to deal with the
question effectively. If, as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Republican leaders, that
party does not intend to take the peo-
pies side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condem-
nation of trusts to be found in the Re
publican platform is designed to dis
tract attention while industrial despot-
ism is completing it's work. A private
monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defense can be made of an indus
trial system in which one or few
men can control for their own profit,
the output or price of any article of
CutltC SUCH IL SYST
! the consumer suffers eHtortun, the
producer of raw material has but one
purchaser, and must sell at the ar
bitrary price fixed; the laborer has
hut one employer, and is powerless
to protest against injustice, either in
wages or in conditions of labor; the
small stockholder is at the mercy of
the speculator, while the travelling
salesman contributes his salary to the
overgrown profits of the trust.
Since but small proportion of the
people can share in the advantages Sc
cured by private monopoly, it follows
that the remainder of the people are
not only excluded from the benefits
but are the helpless victims of every
monopoly organized. 1t Is difficult TO
overestimate the Immediate injustice
that may be done, or to calculate the
ultimate effect of this injustice upon
the social and political welfare Of the
people. Our platform, after suggesting
certain specific remedies, pledges the
party to an unceasing warfare against
private monopoly in nation, state and
city. / heartily approve of this prom

Big Remonstrance Submitted Last
Night-CounciI Meeting.

Nigbt-CounciI Meeting.
A remonstrance, signed by 103 prom
ineut property owners of East Market
st., representing three fourths of the
property fronting upon the street, was
presented in the city council at Mon
day nights meeting. The petitioners
are opposed to the citys contracting
for lighting the streets with gas lights,
as was recommended by the Board of
City Commissioners, Monday. The
signers to the remonstrance state that
| they are not in favor of going back
| to the old system of gas after the
Northern Ohio Traction company has
spent so much money in improvements
on their electric lighting plants in or
der to furnish the latest and most i'm
proved service in street lighting.
In addition to this the expense of.
lighting the street by gas will be in
creased at least three hundred dollars
per year. 1t will require the placing
of many posts that. will do much to
mar the beauty of the street
The remonstrance against the light
ing of the street by gas, and in favor
of the present electric lighting system
being maintained, reads as follows:
To the City Commissioners and the
City Council of Akron.
We. the undersigned, owners of
property abutting on East Market St,
being informed that The Northern
Ohio Traction Company, at an outlay
of many thousands of dollars, are
about to perfect and greatly enlarge
it's electric lighting pant and system
SO as to increase the Illuminating pow
er of its present street lights fully one
fourth, and remedy the defects of the
present service, making such service
.cuilal to the best in the country; re-
spectfully petition that there be no
change adopted for Lighting said street
with gas instead of electricity, as such
change would be step backwards and
result in placing more posts upon the
street than are now used, and be 9TH
erwise Objectionable.
The remonsrrance was referred to
the Light committee.
A resolution was then read, which
had previously been recommended by
the City Commissioners, contracting
with the Welsbach Street Lighting
company, for lighting with gas, East
Market ST., from High st. to Case ave.
This resolution was also referred to
the Light committee.
NEW QUARTERS.
The committee appointed two weeks
ago to consider the matter of securing
suitable quarters for the Council meet
ings, reported that it could find no
place more convenient for the time
being than the present one, and recon-
mendcd that new desks and chairs
for the Councllmen and newspaper
reporters be purchased and placed in
position in the present quarters
Councilman Brady stated that If many
desks were placed there 1t would in
convenience the officers in conducting

quarters be secured for the holding of
