GrandIna's Foot Stove.

The children had been rumaging ir

such funny looking thing a tin boy
set in wooden frame, with little
carved pillars.

"And what's its name?" asked Patty.
''That is foot stove" said grand
ma, looking over her glasses. "Ws

tired of watching his breath make

be to curl up on the seat and take

the minister. and he had taken off his

lie should be stained, and that we

lines of that of George III.:H
Judge Moran scathingly referred to
the policy of the administration to-
wards the Philippine Islands and the
cruelties and injustices imposed upon
their people by the causeless war
waged upon them. He cited authorities
and historical facts to demonstrate that
the position taken by Mckinley and his
advisers is not expansion, III the Ameri-
can sense of that word, butts colonial
ism and imperialism pure and simple,
and as such is IA vielat ion of our Constitu-
ton, of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and of the fundamental principles
of American institutions" In referring
to the new attitude of the Republican
party and Secretary Gage regarding the
gold standard, and their fears for its
safey, Judge Moran said:
IF it has not been secured the Re
publican party in convention assembled
in Philadelphia has put in its platform
a bare-faced lie. If it has not been Sc
cured by appropriate Congressional leg
islation, the Republican party is seek
ing continuance in power on the prop
osition that it was faithless to the trust
reposed in it when it was last given
power by the people"
He concluded his speech, as did Mr.
Zeisler, by appealing to the people to
put forth every effort towards the cleo
ton of William Jennings Bryan, and
so lead back the imperiled nation to
the paths of national honor and virtue.
S. S. Gregory, referring to the cry of
Mark Hanna and the Republican loot
ers that the sole issue is one of pros
perity and the full dinner pail, de-
nounced such hypocrisy as an insult to
the intelligence and patriotism of the
American people.

Grace Carr, of Louisville, to Wed a
British Baronet.
Miss Grace Carr, the one-time Hoosier
girl who is to marry Lord Marlborough,
of Wales, in London, in November, was,
eight years ago, barefoot girl, living in
a cabin in Southern Indiana. The story
illustrates anew that there is no social
glory to which the American girl may not
aspire.
The Carr family formerly lived in Rich
mond, Ind. The father had been a soldier
in the Civil War. The pension allowed
his widow was the only income the family
had. One member was an invalid boy,
who required so much of his sisters time
that they could not go regularly to school.
They removed to Louisville and lived in
house little better than the one they had
occupied in the Indiana town.
A fashionable physician was struck by

DIsREeARDs CONSTITUTION.

Mckinley Has Committed Acts I'M
known to Former Presidents.
There is no denying that Mr.. McKin-
ley has committed a class OF faults I'M
known TO former Presidents. He has
disregarded the constitution by annex
ing foreign provinces without the au-
thority of law. He has employed 65,000
Americans TO massacre foreigners who
had dole him no injury, and to destroy
their homes He has declared war
without notice, upon a friendly people
TO whom he had first promised peace
and cooperation. He has allowed his
subordinate officers to denounce the or
game law which created them as worn
out and of no effect.
He has. in fact, done all the things
which usually precede a coup d'etat,
whether under Julius Caesar or Louis
Napoleoa, and what is unheard of in
history, he has secured a Congress in
ccanivance with BIN. I consider any
man who has not done these things as
more fit for the Presidency than Nc
Kinley, even if chat other man We're
considered capable of doing them.
To tell me that such a man as Ne
Kinley is fit for the Presidency because
his nonelection viii cause a fall of
stocks strikes me as ludicrous. This
might be considered a sufficient answer
for a broker only. Among free and
self governing people il ought to e1-

which Napoleon H. justified his coup
