clared that they shall be branded as
traitors. and shall not come back
Speaking with reference to the flnan-
cial plank adopted at Kansas city.
Mr.. Morton offered this illustration of
its fallacy: Here in Nebraska city, a
place of 10000 population, the banks
carry a deposit of over million dol
lars constantly. Eight miles west, in
the village of Dunbar is a bank of
$40 900 capital which has $4,000 Of far
mers' money on deposit. Last week
money was loaned on land adjoining
some of my own for three years at sim
pie interest of per cent. on a valua-
tion of more than $50 per acre, and l
saw that same land begging for a
purchaser at $3.50 an acre not long go.
Under the gold standard that land has
become so dishonest as to increase It's
purchasing power so that now one acre
of 1t will buy 100 gold dollars, and
when I saw it sold first one acre would
buy only one dollar and quarter.
According to the economies of Bryan
archy, this land, with a constantly in
creasng purchasing power, is the
enemy of the poor and a menace to
society. According to the Democratic
platform, good honest land should
never appreciate in value, nor should
any other honest thing"
Mr. Morton is more worried over i'm
perialism i'm the Democratic party than
in Washington or the Philippines. "IC
the Kansas City convention" says he
"had exercised it's own judgment If 4
majority of the delegates had acted
according to their own convictions,
Bryan and silver both would have been
shelved. 1t is a singular fact that the
only convention ever held in the uni
ted States which was absolutely gov
erned by an autOCrat and operated en-
tirely under his orders should proclaim
opposition to imperialism as the para
mount issue of a political campaign"
The proportion Of Mortons to Bryans,
of thinking men to emOtiOnalsts and
zealots, in the Democratic party is
bound to increase as the campaign
progresses, and the former will not
train in the same party with the lat
ter.

THE NEWSPAPER.

From the National Printcr-Journalist.
The Rev. r. b. Pullman in a recent sermon
at Pilgrim Congregational church, Providence,
r. l.. showed that he had studied the newspa'
per con,cicutiou,ly and to some account lie
said among other things:
'Thc newspaper influences our daily lives.

that which il contains ! venture 10 say that
most readers give themselves into its control as
they would 10 no other master. The average
religious man, l venture to say, deyotcs more
time to the newspaper than to the Bible and
it has a more direct effect upon his actions than
does the Holy Book.
"Whcn we consider the newspaper we find that
it is made up OF a combination OF mind aud mat
ter that surpasscs flight of the Imagination. All
the world pays tribute TO the newspaper. How
few of the readers stop to think Of the host Of
hands employed and the lives devoted to the
filling Of its columns, Its enterprise is one Of
the marvellous things Of the century,
"The best paper means the best man, and the
best man must be as pure as the purest, as brave
as the bravCst and as noble as the noblcst, The
man who prints a newspaper simply for the
money that there is in IT, is as rccreant 10 his
trust as the minister who writes sermons simply
for the salary he may get by so doing. The
pulpit Judas will be more comfortably off in his
allotted place than that editor VINO uses treach-
oruusly the power which belongs to the high
office Of responsibility of the newspaper A
newspaper which is a blessing TO a community
will so live ON earth and so deal with facts that
all the facts OF life will be used to the best
advantage to make good lives in the community,
Undoubtedly human life needs some moral sew,

sttute that system. A newspaper should be
dominated by the highest ideals as TO morals
and should have as its basis reyerent fear a
God, and a full understanding of His will. II

In the Nature of Retribution.

Y f THE REPORT from st. Peters,
burg as to the fate of the Rus
Il sian minister to China and his
wife is true, it auEments the in
demnty which China will have to pay
and intensifcs the regret that the
powers did not take earlier and more
decisive steps to protect their repre-
sentatives at Pekin. Minister Con-
gers communications show that all
the foreign ministers foresaw the an
ti-foreigncr uprising, although it does
not follow that they appreciated fully,
until too late, it's bearing upon their
own fate, or that they made any re-
quests of their home governments
for protection which were not an
swered to the limit of possibility when
once the magnitude of the danger was
Comprehended.
Horrible as is the st. Petersburg re-
port, the verifcation of which doubt
less means also the doom of every
American in Pekin, 1t does not essen
TALLY alter the task of civilization.
On the contrary, it illustrates more
wildly than before the impossibilty
of bringing about order through n par
ttioning of China, and emphasizes the
necessity OF ruling the Chinese hordes
through cooperation with and re-en-
fOrcement of the best native element.
No intelligent mind can doubt that
had Chinese territorial integrity not
been threatened, and especially had
not forcible thefts of sovereignty or
paramount influence IN China been
consummated outrageously by certain
European powers from time to time,
taking advantage of Chinas political
weakness, there would not have exist
ed the means of exciting the Chinese
rabble into such frightful frenzies as
have characterized the Boxer uprising.
No Chinaman is so ignorant or super
stitious that he cannot in time be won
to friendliness by kind treatment; but
where the presence of foreigners is
aggression and spoilation the mater
ials of revolution accumulate rapidly
and need merely a spark to deyelope
into a blaze.
Nothing which any European power
has done in China justifes the excess
es of cruelty alleged to have been
committed by the Chinese anarchists
1t is necessary to the peace of the
world that these excesses should be
punished and their recurrence guarded
against to the utmost of civilization
ability. But blind vengeance cannot
further this end. The fault is not
wholly with the Chinese, and it is time
that the powers should realize the ne.
cessity of going into China clean hand.

he said: "The man who can drink

Great Joy was created n few days

appearance of report that eX-Presi-

report been true. it would have sig

ascertain how the experiment of wo-

vary, the woman differing from the
man in the opinion that upon the
whole the state has benefited; but
upon one point they strkingly agree.
that the quality of the women who
take an active interest in political
