HELP THOU MY UNDELIEF

By Louise Chandler Moulton. Because I seek Thee not, oh seek Thou me! Because my lips are dumb oh hear the
 cry
 I do not utter as Thou passest by, And from my lifelong bondage set me free! Because content perish, far from Thee. Oh seize me- snatch me from my fate
 and try
 My soul in Thy consuming fire! Draw
 nigh And let me, blinded, Thy salvation see. If I were pouring at Thy feet my tears, If I were clamoring to see Thy face 1 should not need Thee, Lord, as now
 need. Whose dumb, dead soul knows neither
 hopes nor fears, Nor dreads the outer darkness of this
 place Because I seek not, pray not p'
 heed.

Quigg platform differs from the original in spirit and in language. It is an entirely different document. We do not propose to pursue that controversy further, but we give our readers the opportunity of com pairing the platform which represents and expresses the Presidents views of the Re- publican position and which the Convention supposed it had adopted and the midnight carpentry of Lemuel D. Quigg which was read to the delegates in an inaudible voice and was approved by them in the belief that they had before them the platform revised and approved by their leader and nominee, William Mckinley.

is NOT A CANDIDATE
FOR GONERNSHIP.
Attorney General Crow Will Seek Re
nomination to His Present
Position.

Jefferson City, Mo, Jan. S.-Attor
ney General Grow will not be a candi
date for the democratic nomination
for governor, but will seek renomina
ton to the present position of attor
ney general He will attempt tt
break the record in that office anC
succeed himself
General Crow has good record al
an official behind him, and as an ora
tor and campaigner he has few
equals.
The announcement of his candidacy
was made here tonight by Hon. J
w, Halliburton ofCarthage, a strong
friend of his.
In an interview Judge Halliburton
said: Il am authorized to announce
to the people of the state OF Missouri
that General f. c. Grow will not be a
candidate for the nomination for
governor, but will be candidate for
the position he now holds. The dem
ocracy of Jasper county and the fif-
teenth congressional district feel
proud of the record made by General
Crow as attorney general of the state,
and they are very heartily infavor of
his denomination and will give him
an exceedingly warm and hearty sup
port for that position.
And we have no doubt that the
democracy of the state feels proud of
the record made by General Grow.
Without saying anything in deroga-
ton of those who have filled the office
in the past, | am free to say that the
record made by General Grow in his
office is unsurpassed by any man who
has ever held that office, and he is
one of the kind of men that the party
can afford to renominate. having
filled the office with satisfaction to
the people, with honor to himself and
credit to his party, so that his friends
feel that it is due to him to give him
the denomination, and his friends in
the southwest will use every effort in
their power and all honorable means
to renominate him, and from my in
formation | have no doubt that the
people of the state feel very much as
his friends in the southwest do. and
that the next convention will give
General Crow the nomination to the
office of attorney general with but
little, if any, opposition.

YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT

and, of course, want a democratic
newspaper. THE CHICAGO DIS
PATCH is the Great Democratic
Weekly Newspaper Of the Country.
1t advocates the readoption of the
platform and the denomination OF
William Jennings BRYAN.
There has never been a political
campaign that will equal in import
ance that of the one to be fought
next year. The republican party,
backed by the money power of this
country and Europe. is alert and ag-
gressive. Flushed with the victory OF
three years ago il will seek by every
means in its power to maintain its
supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war
upon their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of a good
sound democratic newspaper. The
Publisher of THE CHICAGO DISPATCH
will send to every new subscriber for
three months a copy OF THR CHICAGO
DISPATCH for ten cents. IL you are
not already taking this great poIiti-
cal weekly. send IN ten cents at once.
You should not only do this yourself.
but YOU should induce all yeur friends

LETTER TWENTY-SEvEN YEARS OLD
The Result of a Joke Started in 1873 by

the Philippines letter on which wa.
this address. E : Nix. MC"ila,

left hand corner are the words: III
not delivered return To +. l.. Mckee
Indianapolis, Ind" Inside OF the let
! ter is one brief line:
"Frieder.dOrff is building a hand
some new house"
This letter was written twenty
seven years ago and has been travel
| ing all over the world ever since. Its
peregrinations are the result OF lit
tie Joke started by Banker Mckee and
". b. Fenton. vice president OF the
National Bank of the Republic OF
Chicago. in 1873 At that time both
were young men in this city, having
come h5re from Madison. Ind. Me
kee was clerk in a shoe store and
Fenton. dropping in on him one day,
informed him of the biggest bit of
news tiat had come from their ma
tive town in a long time. Mr.. Fried
ersdorff is building new house
Other Madisonians dropping IN
from day 70 day brought the same
news, until finally one day Mckee
threw up his hands in disgust Just a.
Mr.. Fenton was about TO repeat the
news item. Fenton thereupon sat
down and wrote out the item, put it
in an envelope and addressed it to
Mr.. Mckee. Mckee in turn PUT it in
another envelope and returned it To
Fenton: then Fenton mailed it to
Bombay. India, addressing it to Mr.
Mckee there. but putting Mr.. Mchee's
return card on the corner of the en-
velope. When it came back to Mr..
kee he addressed it TO Mr.. Fenton at
Hong Kong, China, with Mr. Fenton's
return card in the corner.
Thus the letter has been going for |
over a quarter of a century. and each |
man has wonderful collection OF |
postmarks a. a result of this queer |
Joke. These two men are both we'll |
along in life, and have reached enyia- |
bile position from their humble begin |
ming at the time this old letter was |
started on its travels. During all |
these years. although the two men
have frequently met, they have never
spoken a word about the letter. re-
training, as another Joke. from men
tioning it. The letter has never been
lost during all these years. Mr. No
kee says the travels of that letter
have been an education TO him.
Friday the letter started out again
on its journey to a distant quarter
Of the globe. In a few months it will
probably turn up in the office OF Mr.
Fenton at Chicago.

Standard Oil Trust Adds $50, 100, 900 to
Its Income

New York. Jan. 1.-THE Standard
Oil Company is conducting financial
and stock market operations OF so
vast a scope that it is in need of a
greater income than the $50. 900, 900
ii year which it has been paying its
stockholders. How to get it was
easy John d. Rockefeller simply is
sued an order within the fortnight
that the price OF oil must be raised to
consumers 3 cents per gallon.
This edict was simultaneously pub
llshed at every oil depot of the trust
in the country. OF course. the rise
falls on the consumer.
At the time the price Of oil was
raised. the agents OF the trust inform
ed the public that the scarcity OF the
crude oil compelled the move. They
did not. however. call attention to
the fact that the trust had a mo-
nopoly of crude oil.
The people of the United States
consume 979,0OO,0O0 gallons of oil
every year. The increase of cents a
gallon will compel the people to pay
the Standard Oil Company $40. 100,
900 more in 1900 for their oil than
they did in 1899.
This means that the income of the |
Standard Oil Company will be nearly |
doubled. 1t will be at least $50
10000
During the last two months the
price OF kerosene oil has been raised |
to consumers in this city from = to
4 cents per gallon.
The retail price is now from II to
II cents per gallon. In the poorer
districts consumers are charged IL
cents per gallon. The uniform price
paid by dealers is 10 cents. Those
dealers whose patrons are among
the middle and upper classes are able
to charge from , to + cents profit,
but the smaller grocers say the profit
of cent per gallon does not pay for
the handling.
All dealers have first to pay Ii
cense OF so for the privilege of sell
inc oil.

BOER'S FOREIGN AID.
c ,usin of Lord Roberts Says He De-

and for several years held a commits

science of military tactics better than
they do. Their method of fighting :
that of the open field work: and they
are not shrewd in the science OF sue
cessful warfare.

South Africa and well remember the
conditions there at that time. Things
are practically the same there now as
they were then.
Lord Methuen is certainly an able
officer: and | am at a loss how to ac-.
count for the defeat he sustained and
the manner in which he was led into
the trap short time ago. | am of
the opinion however, that the guides
who were employed by him proved
treacherous and were responsible for
the blunder
The English are placed at a disad
vantage in fighting the Beers, due to
the condition of the atmosphere in
that country In the first place. the
surface of the country is mountain
GUS, but level. There are plateaus
and they are surrounded by noun
tain ranges. These plateaus are very
large, and it is very difficult for an
officer of any army who is not ac
quainted with the conditions Of the |
country to successfully conduct the
campaign. | am of the opinion Lord |

one OF those plateaus. and did not |

and objects many miles away will APP |

i ,ulties in the way of successful wag
lg of the fight by the English.
The Beers have been preparing for
