ed Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, for
President, and Hon. Adelai Z Steven

man, a'thorough democrat and endorses
the democratic platform in full.
Mr.. Bryan is of National fame and
the people know him andpove him. He

power in this campaign. The ticket is
an able one and the prospect is the peo-

DON'T CONCEAL,

Smallpox and other contagious dis
eases are too often allowed to spread by
not giving prompt notice of their exis-
tence. We learn that there is small
pox at Roswell and it has spread to
Woodstock. There is a disposition to
conceal such diseases or call them by
some other name. This is great mis-
take, and great wrong to the public.
Any case of such diseases, and any sus-
picions case, should promptly De sub
mitted to some extent, and proper
precautions taken at once to prevent its
spread. The matter is so important
that the legislature of Georgia, in sec
ton 400 of the penal code, has enacted
as follows:
Any physician or other person who
shall conceal case of smallpox. or
variloid, or any modification of the
same, within any incorporated city,
town, or in any county, by not giving
immediate notice thereof to the mayor =.
intendant, or health officer, or ordinary
shall be punished for misdemeanor /"

THE CHAUTAUOUA.

The lecture of Hon. George R.. Wend-
ling, on THE Man of Galilee" at the
Chautauqua last week was the finest
thing we ever heard. 1t was exhaus-
tive in analysis and incontrovertible in
argument. 1t bristled with facts and
sparkled with gems of rhetoric, and
must have strengthened the faith of
every believer in Christ. As an orator
he is eloquent and pleasing.
DR.. Steele proved himself fine en-
tertainer and gave some very instruc-
tive and humorous recitals.
Hon. ALI Taylor had fine lecture.
In composition and thought it was one
of the best delivered during the Chau-
tauqua.
Prof. Charles Lane sustained his repu-
tation as a humorist and he kept an
immense audience in roars of laughter.
Hon. Henry Watterson. of Louisville,
gave very fine and sensible lecture on
money and morals" His conclusions
were sound and he proved himself an
admirable lecturer and philosopher.
Hon. J. g. Camp, Georgia's gifted
son, held his audience in wrapt atten-
ton by his eloquent delivery of Truth
and Shams" He is almost the equal
of Bob Taylor in word painting, and his
lecture is meritorious in every particu-
lar. Those who failed to hear him
missed a treat.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The National Democratic party in
session in st. Louis last week, adopted
the following platform, being con-
densed:
We denounce the doctrine that cap
not derive powers from constitution
and cannot exercise lawful power be-
yond it. Tyranical government will
lead eventually to tyrany at home.
We assert that no nation can long
endure one-half republic and one-half
empire.
The war ended two years ago and
peace was restored. The Republican
party holds domino tion over Cuba and
allows carpet baggers to plumber around
at will. We demand honest fulfillment
of the promises to Cuba.
The republican party seeks to con-
troll. The war crime aggressions against
the Philippines has already cost more
than the profit in trade yet to come.
The republican party imposes on Porto
Rico. Taxation without representa-
tion when extended at the price of
liberty is too high,
We are opposed to the acquisition of
outside territory for citizens. The Cit
liens cannot be governed outside of the
country. Imperialism is the para
mount issue of this campaign
Military is what millions of our peo-
pie have fought over. This country is
no place for vast military estates.
Trusts are fostered by republican
law and protected by republican con-
tributions in return for campaign con-
tributions.
We re-aftirm the principles of the
democratic national platform adopted
in Chicago in 1896. We demand the
immediate restoration of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
We demand the restoration of Ma
tional bank notes, and as soon as gov
eminent notes and silver can be sub
stituted for them. To reform bank
laws are schemes fostered upon the
people.
..e favor construction and continu-
ance of Nicaragua canal by the United
States. Denounce Paunceforte treaty.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the heroic burghers in their struggle
for liberty. We oppose the accumula-
ton of surplus secured by the no longer
necessary war tax.
We denounce action of the republi-
cans in failing to provide states in New
Mexico and Oklahoma. We prom
Use statehood for the territories.
We condemn alliance with Great
Britain. 1t has led to the slaughtering
of liberty in South Africa. 1t is the
of England to strangle lib
erty.

WILL REMAIN.

Rev. j. H. Patton announced to his
Presbyterian congregation last Sunday
that he had declined the call to Will
mington. n c., ard would remain in
Marietta This is gratifying news, not
only to his own church, but to the en-
tire people of Marietta. He is greatly
beloved here, because he is a lovable
man, kind. considerable and sympa-
thetic, ever courteous and charitable,
he meets with hearty greetings where
ever he is thrown with our people. AS
a minister he is able and conscientious
and is doing a grand work here. We
congratulate his church and our people
that he is to remain with us.

IN THE PAST.

The Chautauqua is over, and like
some" banquet hall deserted, the lights
are out and the jewellers are gone. The
gay crowds that enlivened our streets
have returned to their homes, the music
has died away and the songs are hushed.
The town, that was made drunk on
music, mirth and eloquence has sobered
down to the stern realities of business.
But like pleasant dream, the bright
ness and beauty of the Chautauqua will
remain with us. and in the memories of
thousands the Chautauqua with its
feast of reason and flow of soul" will
live. From beginning to end, the pro-
gramme was rich in attractions and
abounded in educational and enter
tanning features. Who will soon forget
the impressive aid sublime sermon of
Bishop H. G. Morrison; the practical
opening address of Governor Gambler:
the beautiful and marvellous word
paintings and wit of eX-Gov. Bob Tay-
Tor; the majestically grand and elo-
quent addresses of Hon George r.
Vending; the sweet, persuasive, philo-
sophical talks of DR.. Willitts; the STIR
ring war notes of General Gordon; the
catchy and witty "reminiscences of
Dixie by DR.. Steele; the songs. banjo
and humor of Polk Miller; the beauti-
ful and sparkling lecture of Hon. ALI
Taylor; the pleasing recitals of Miss
McAfee the humor of Georgia's great
talker, Prof. Charles Lane the force
and erudition of the gifted Henry Wat
terson, and the eloquence of that splen-
did orator, Hon. J. G. Camp? How the
inspiring music Of the Fifth Regiment
band the songs of the Chicago Glee
Club, and the melody of $50 voices,
trained By Prof, B. G. Davis, will linger
with us forever.
The ChautauQua was 8 grand success.
1t did good. Itwas moral uplift in
culture and social prestige. 1t widely
advertised the town. 1t showed that
our people were intelligent, progressive
and enterprising, 1t infused kindly
social spirit, generous disposition and
liberal hospitality.
The stockholders and managers did
their work well and Systematically
without reward or hope thereof finan-
cially. They devoted time and money
to make it an honor to Marietta and
they succeeded. They feel grateful to
the public and the public should feel
grateful to them.
May the next annual Chautauqua be
bigger and better than this one.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says the ticket is
better than the platform.
General Grosvener, one of the builders of the
PLATFORM doesn't seem to think much of it, for
he says that "its spiritlessness and lack of lu-
cidity ana vigor are due to breach of faith OH
the part of the committee intrusted in making

dissatisfaction here with the Republican nation

awkward, lacking the true ring Members of
the administration disappointed because
their plans concerning the platform went wrong.
After the important panks had been fully dis

Two Kinds of Trusts.

Topeka State Journal
In answer to the question: 'Is not the labor
trust as oppressive as any other trust?' the New
York Journal points the difference from its
point of view, as follow:
On the plains it sometimes happens that a
Troop of ravenous wolves surrounds a herd of
buffalo, among which many calves. The
herd punches closely for protection, with horns
to the foe.
Here we have two trusts-ofensive and de-
fensive One is an offensive combination of
greed the other defensive combination of
Distress Is it not right to thin out the wolves
with legislative shotgun, and let the buffalo
60 in peace?
There is vast difference in the money-power
of ten men with million dollars each, and
million men with ten dollars each. Ten million
aires baud together to kill competition, corner
products, reduce wages and restrict supply
million men oppressed by the ten organize for
the maintenance of the right of every laboring
man to a fair share of the wealth he creates
The labor trust does not--nay, cannot-pur
chase congressman, dictate to courts, command
nominations to public offices or plunder pro-
ducers. Labor's time is thoroughly occupied
in self defense.
We have given here few of the differences
between the offensive trust of capital and the
defensive trust of labor. They as far apart
in principle and in practice as night and day.
There is no harm in any trust that has
nothing more than muscle and mechanical skill
for its foundation. Such trusts should not be
confounded with the criminal trusts. Neither
should they be legislated against

BRYAN On the Platform.

Vim. ]. Bryan, speaking of the Republican
platform, the other day, while on the train Ell
route for Chicago, said:
The Philadelphia platform is the best evil
dence thus far gwen OF the deception attempted
by the r apublican party. Taken i'll connec-
ton with the speeches made at the convention,
it shows that the Republican partys platform
of 1896 was deliberate fraud as far as the
promises of international bimetalsm were con-
cerned; that the party's attitude on the trust
question is inslncere; that the party is not will
ling to state it's attitude on the Philippine ques
ton and invite the Judgment of the people.
Nothing was more manifest i'll the convention
than the military spirit, and yet the convention
did not dare endorse the demand of the presi-
den, in 1893 tor a standing army OF 100, 900

The Glory of the BOer Soldiers.

The statement that the Boer is uncivilized
appears to be based upon the fact that he has
maintained government under which property
is protected the most completely at the lowest
rate of taxation in the world, where education
is universal drunkenness rare, divorce unknown
ana where every man lives with his own wife.
Contrast the forces defending the independ-
ence of the Transvaal with those which assail
it, and tell me which is the soldier of civiliza-
ton, which is the exponent of Christianity. 1
will not discuss the moral character of the
British soldier. If anyone wants to get an es-
innate of it from partial and friendly sources,
let him read speech of Lord Roberts deliver
ed some years ago in the House of Lords.
But the Boer warrior is a new revelation to
civilization, profound, inspiration to every
lover of the human race. No Boer soldier has
ever been found with indecent literature and
none without his Bible. He has never stopped
to debauchery and never shrunk from duty.
He has never uttered boastful expression and
never been guilty of cowardly act.
He has reported his victories with modera.
ton and he has acknowledged defeats with can
dor He has never opened day without prayer
or closed one without Psalms of thanksgiving
to Providence. He has asked the assistance of
Heaven with fervor but he has borne its judg-
ment with forttude. His enemy pays his vaor
the sincere compliment of declining to meet
him unless he outnumbers him ten to one, and
he abandons to his protection the wounded gen.
erals who fell while invading his territory.
But above ALL he has rendered civilization the
immeasurable service of proving that a valor
for which no parallel can be found in the his
tory of Greece or the legends of Rome is COM
patible with morality as rigid and virtue as
lofty as those displayed by the early Christian
martyrs.
The world has long believed that morality
was inconsistent with bravery, aud it has toler-
ated license in the camp as the price necessary
to be paid for efficiency in the field. These
Boer heroes have exploded that notion so de-
grading to humanity. They have turned the
camp itself into theatre for the display of
conjugal tenderness, paternal discipline, flial
affection and every Christian virtue which en-
mobiles man, dgnifes cause, glorifes coun-
try. They have shown that good men are bet
ter soldiers than bad men; that morality is not
an obstacle, but a stimulus of courage; that
that patriot can defend his country most effect
lively who worships his God most faithfully. I
can't believe that these Christian heroes whose
PHYSICAL prowess is the natural fruit of moral
lives can be eXterminated by mercirary bands.
If such people can be obliterated, then civil
ization is incapable of defending the best ee-
ment which it has produced. .-Bourke Cochran.
