They Do Protest Ton Mnch.

Baltimore Sun:-"There is no i'm
Pc ialism." declares President McKin-
ley in his letter OF acceptance. From
president down to the humblest SPELL
binder and organ grinder the republi-
cans are kept busy protesting that an
evil which does exist in a palpable
form really has no existence. Their
denials are based upon the assumption
that the American people are so dull
witted that they are unable to under
stand the difference between Republi-
can government and the kind Of gov
eminent which has been established
In Porto Rico and which is ultimately
to be forced upon the Filipinos.

Trade Mark LAWS Of Denmark

Consul IngersOll, at Copenhagen. in
a report 10 the state department, says
he deems it of Importance 10 American
exporters to Denmark 10 direct their
attention to the trade mark laws OF
that country. Under the Danish law a
trade mark is granted four months
from the date Of filing the application.
but any person having already regis
tered a similar trade mark in another
country may apply here and the mark
will be registered in the name of the
person to whom such trade mark has
been granted. thA -:gistration upon
behalf Of the DANISH applicant being

whose trade mark has not been regis

A Strange MAlady.

A strange malady is going the roundi
Of north Alabama. says the Atlanta
Constitution. It Is some kind Of Q
germ which is attacking the ear drum
Of the people. causing risings and alb
cesses, which prove very painful and
troublesome. In Birmingham many
people have been attacked by this NAL
ady and much suffering has been heard
of. Gov. Joseph F. Johnston has been
detained at his home in this city dur
ing the past week with trouble in mis-
ears and physicians had to attend him.
Mr.. John W. o'Neill, the popular pres
ident Of the Birmingham board Of
trade, Is now suffering agonies with the
pain in both ears. There are many
other people troubled In the same way.
The germ seems to come with the least
warning and the pain that follows can
only be allayed little until the rising
either bursts on its own accord or an
operation has been performed, when
the pain ceases and the patient recov-
ers. So far the disease has not proven
fatal, though 1t has given the people
whom It has attacked considerable

There is q pretty custom In vogue In

be copied here. During the summer
holidays an arrangement il made By
which little Danes from town and
country change places. The parents Of
town children send their little folks OF
to the country. and receive In ex-

Is that the town children are strength

sights, while the little rustics enjoy
the pleasures Of town life, and the fes-
rivals which are for their benefit. This
exchange system results In 10000 chill

A REPUBLICAN TRIBUTE TO
BRYAN

The Boston Herald is compelled to
the mastery speech he delivered last
week at Indianapolis and to remark
that ii will he Thoroughly read. 1t
says:
The IIeTain. as IS we'll enough
known By this time. does not take the
same view Of the subject discussed that
is held by Mr.. Bryan. and does not
support his candidacy. But to say of
this address that it lacks the quality
of full manliness. intellectual or moral.
would stultify oar Judgment. II is tie
utterance of a robust, earnest. compe-
tent disputant on a high theme Of
craftsmanship. We have no motive
TO overpTdise IL: but our feeling is
that this speech will give Bryan
higher rank among the statesmen Of
the nation than he hrs had before.
The significance Of the speech to
the Republican party is that 1t is high
time for its leaders to quit calling
names and get down to business. II
they suppose that it is in the power OF
money, or party organizations, or art
fully fostered prejudiees. To success
fully oppose the effect OF such an adj
dress on the minds o. the intelligent
plain people who constitute the over
whelming majority of the electorate
of the nation. they will make a mis-
take. Mark Hanna. with all the mil
lions he can command. and sll the I'M
scrupulous machine bosses he holds in
leash. is not a match for a man who
can talk to the American people as
Bryan does in this speech. His OBJ
vious sincerity. frankness and direct
ness will break through and demolish
any fortress Of material politics or
chicanery that can be erected in its
path. 1t will prove a more effective
speech than Senator Hoar's because it
has intense devotion and irdomitable
courage behind it"
Much Abuse OF OIney.

self in 1904. when he will be in his
SEVENTEEN year; he hasn't voted in
Boston since 1895: he wrote a maya
zine article that our national "isola-
ton" was a thing Of the past. and.
consequently. he has no right to think
the acquisition of the Philippines a
blunder; he Is the original imperialist
himself. because he forced England TO
treat a small nation as she would a
big one. Mr.. Olney takes all this

Death OF Professor w. II. Brinkerhof1

AT 1890 o'clock. on Sunday, Nav
y, 1900, the spirit of Professor W.
ii. Brinkerhoff passed from this
world into the one of its eternal
rest.
Professor Brinkerhoff was teach
ing school in district number
three. in this county, where he con
trauted la grippe. Arriving at home
on the 18th of May, he fingered with
his sickness, gradually growing
weaker, until he fell asleep in Jesus.
He was born at Mount Morris,
New York, on September 26, 1887.
When at the age of fifteen, he came
west to Iowa, where he Remained
the most OF his life. His health, and
that OF some OF his family, being
very poor they sought various eli
mates, coming from Salem, Oregon,
to Rlco but two months ago. He
leaves wife and ten children to
| mourn his loss, as we'll as one sister
and three brothers.
He possessed a very generous
heart and exceedingly liberal views.
He was Universalist minister, not
having charge of any particular
church, yet assisting any denomi-
nation with whom he came in CON
tact. His life was given up to
building character in young lives
in the school room. He has estab-
lished schools, as we'll as helped to
build churches. He was always on
the alert to help his fellow men. In
the death of Professor Brinkerhoff
the community has lost such man
as few communities possess.
" shine in tI,a 1iuI,+ of Goa,
His likeness stamps my brow:
Through the valley of death my feet have
And reign in glory now.
No breaking heart is here,
NO keen and thrilling pain,
No wasted cheek, where the frequent tear
Hath rolled and left it's stain.
~
Do forget: Oh, no!
fOr memory'S golden chain
Shall bind my heart to the hearts below
Ill they meet to touch again.
Do you mourn when another star
SHINES out from the glittering sky?
DO you weep when the raging voice of war
AND the storms of conflict die?
Then why should your tears run down.
And your hearts be sorely riven,
For there's another gem in the Saviors
crown,
And another soul in heaven"
