When the late Mir. Goebel was zee t. | ed' to the Kentucky governorship, Fry an wired his congratI- BRYAN'S Iations. That was not RESPONSE all. The legally elect sd
 BILITY. governor was w. s.
 Taylor The democratic returning board found Taylor had bean elected and the courts of Kentucky confirmed his title to the office. The democratic legislature. elec,ed by the Goebel law, canvassed the votes. how ever. and gave Goebel the election Cor- tificate. It was a monstrous political crime, and Bryan advised It. Whan tha critical time came, William J. Bryan went'to Frankfort, al the way from his Nebraska home, to encourage Goebsl and Beckham and the other demooratic candidates on the state ticket in their treason against free government, w@ich rests on the expressed will of the ma jority. In a speech before the demo- crats of the legislature and the beatsn candidates, he congratulated the latter that they had a partisan body before which to try their case. Without his advice and encouragement. there would have been no contest. That Kentucky is now governed and administered by a set of men whom the majority of the voters had deliberately rejected and who are denounced this day by the greater part of the people of Kentucky as robbers and thieves, is due to Will liam J. Bryan who wants self govern ment for the distant Malays, but thinks a self chosen band of schemers are a good enough government for the great state of Kentucky.

A stock company is organizing for the manufacture and distribution of arti- ficial milk on vast scale. Our chem lsts tell us, says the promoter, that the article is just as nutritious as the best cows milk, and we are experimenting With It on babies and sickly persons With most gratifying results in the way or Increase of weight. and so 5H, and We shall embody the details of these ex- periments. with before and aiLer pie lures. in the prOspectuses We are aI- ready getting out. The little factory where We are now making our milk is a most cleanly plant. The water, fat. albumen, casein and sugar which we use for bases are all of the finest quali- ty. Our gass5s-carboHic acid. oxygen nitrogen and sulphureted hydrogen are filtered three times in cur patent gas filter before we use them. Our kreOtin, pepton and tyrOsin are soaked for twenty-fOUr hours in pure spring water tanks. There are other constit- uents besides-I can't give their names aWay-and they. too, are washed with the utmost care. Artificial milk is, all together, much cleaner thing than the natural product.

MIR. LINCOLN'S COLT.

Rev. Mr. Alcott, of Elgin. Illinois. one of Abraham Lincolns Springfield acquaintances, tells of seeing him come away from church unusually early one morning. The sermon coulI not have Teen more than half through" said Mr. Alcott. His son Tad was slung across his arm like a pair of saddl.- bags. and Linc-ln was striding along with long and deliberate steps toward his home. On one of the street corners he encountered a group of his fellow tnWnsmen.

A territorial exchange says that By and politics When has he demon strated it? Was it when he said 'the fathers were opposed to expansion? The Republican the other day showed that all the fathers" from Washing ton down were very much in favor Cf expansion. The fact is, Bryan never was a profound student, if his class mates and professors are to be believed. He never yet mastered a topic. He has a wonderful gift of gab and that is all. Read his speeches of four years go and contrast them with existing con- ditions, for proof of this assertion.

Thus We find that while many pr fess 10 practice the art of literature they raise whiskers or hair on the side and the really significant thing they do is raising whiskers or hair. or both.

KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE THEM.

The doorkeeper at Senator Hanna's room at republican national headquar- ters has discovered a novel way of dis posing of unwelcOme visitors, relates correspondent. The officer has been guarding the door at political head quarters for long time, and is able to discriminate between those who should be It in and those who should be kept out. Not long ago one of the latter class arrived and asked to see Senator Hanna. Busy now" said the door, keeper. Take a seat in the ante room, please Presently another visitor ar rived. He was a poet who had cam- paign verses to sell. The doorkeeper 'sized him up" at once and took him to the door of the ante-room.

One by one prominent men who sup ported Bryan in 1896 are turning their
 backs upon him. One
 WHY of these is eX-Sena or
 STEWART Lee Mantle of Montana,
 QUITS whose bold statement of
 BRYAN. his position attractcd
 widespread attention some weeks ago. Another is A. NJ. Stevenson, who represented the Denver district in the republican convention in 1896 and walked out with Senator Tel Ter. As between "anti-imperia ism," so-called, that is anti-expansion, and free silver, Bryan is in danger of losing several states which he carried in 1896. These men whom we have named arg typical of sentiment in the western states. If it comes to question of abandoning expansion and patriotism. free silver will not induce the mountain states to vote for Bryan.
 Senator Stewart of Nevada is tie latest of Bryan's former friends to r. nounce him. Stewart has been closely connected with the cause of sixteen to one. He was one of Bryan's staunch- est and most eloquent supporters and campaigners in 1896 This year, Sen ator Stewart supports President Me Kinley, and gives good reasons why. To put the matter bluntly, for it is useless mincing words. the senator is entirely disgusted with the vulgar demagogy, the cowardice and the treachery of Bryan's shifty politics.
 Senator Stewards statement is an extremely lucid and forcible presenta- ton of the Philippine question, cons i- tuting the strongest Justification of tn administrations policy and the most convincing proof of the unreasonable and unpatriotic course of MT. Bryan and his following.
 The war with Spain was veheme n.ly urged by the democrats. It was sue cessfully conducted and closed by the treaty of Paris by which the Philip pine archipelago was ceded to the United States. Bryan WIS the m ans of giving the ratification of the treaty the necessary majority. Law. peace and order must then be maintained in the islands. Aguinaldo had. before the war began, headed an ins'Irrectiol against Spain, not for indep ndence but reform of abuses. This Chinese half-breed had sold out months be- fore to Spain for $40O 900 and left the islands. When our war with Spain ba- gan he pretended to favor the Ameri- can side and offered to help America to win. Instead of that he organized rebellion of a section of one of the Filipino tribes. This rebellion has been sustained by the aid and support t of the anti-imperialists, of Bryan and the Bryanites. As Senator Stewart says:
 The so-called anti-imperialists de- clared that the policy pursued by the government to put down the rebellion and maintain law and order in all ter ritories of the United States. without regard to the time when such terri tories were acquired was imperialism and that any use of the army to main tain law and ,order-however ne-es- sary-was ';ililitarism' and that giving aid and comfort to rebels in arms against the United States was main taining the principles of the decllra- ton of independence"
 The mere statement of the facts isi damning proof of the tricky disoyalty and un-Americanism of Bryan and tha anti-imperialists.

ABSOLUTE IN HER HOUSEHOLD.

The position of a Chinese woman in her own household is that which is. or ought to be, occupied oy her sisters in every cline. She is left il absolute control of all domestic concerns and is given far more to say in the expenGi- ture of the family income than is gen orally the case among our lower classes. It is true she owes obedience to her huS- band. but it must be recollected that this is equally so in our own country. The obligation is probably as much re- spected in China as it is here.-Wash- inGton Star.

General Grant is remembered as the

1t is a risky experiment to take man
who has served IN camps and on war

THE REPUBLICAN, PLATFORM.

The Republican platform is chiefly
remarkable for the serenity with which
It runs counter to the Republican rec
ord of the past four years; 1t is intel
ligible only on the hypothesis that the
Republican party means to work tre-
mendous reformation within itself. or
that the platform Is not put forward
in good faith. In short. 1t pledges the
Republican party to do what 1t has al
ready definitely and decisively refused
to do. when abundant opportunity was
given. and It's sincerity can only be
gagged by the reputation OF the Re-
publican party for keeping or breaking
its promises.
With the twaddle about Mr.. McFin-
ley's "flrmness in action" and the new
birth OF freedom Of the Filipino peo-
pie whom we are at present engaged in
subjugating, and to whom the Republi-
can platform does not promise free
dom at any time. however remote, we
need not concern ourselves. We are
all tolerably familiar with what the Re-
publican party has done during its lease
of power; let us see what 1t proposes to
do:
The platform carefully refrains from
mentioning trusts, but condemns"
combinations" with trust characters
tics. and promises remedial legislation.
And yet for the past four years Repub-
lican officials have steadfastly refused to
enforce the Sherman antitrust law, and
the Republican party,with every branch
OF the Government in its possession, de-
liberately declined to enact laws to
effectively restrain and prevent abuses"
by the trusts. and Congress adjourned
leaving the trusts n free hand. This 1t
did on the eve of an election, and with
the country clamorlng for remedial leg
islation on this subject VIII it keep
this promise when there is less outside
pressure?
Not in express terms. but by clear
implication, the platform declares for
the Infamous Hanna-Payne Ship Sub
sidy bill, which was introduced in the
recent Congress. and which the Repub-
leans at that time dared not pass. In
the platform it is sugar-coated to lool,
like solicitude for American trade with
foreign countries. instead of n clear
gift of SaO.Ooo.ooO to ship-builders and
owners.
THE policy of the Republican party
in maintaining the efficiency of the
CIVIL service is commended. though
Republican newspapers have been
roundly denouncing Mr.. Mckinley for
his disregard OF the civil service regu-
lations. he having at one tins removed
thousands OF employees from the pro-
lection of those regulations.
The platform declares that sit will
be the policy of the Republican party to
bring about a reduction of the war
taxes" And yet less than n month ago
n Republican Congress was being bonn
ardcd with petitions from chambers
of commerce and other bodies all over
the country begging that the war taxes
be reduced. That Congress, adjourned
without action. leaving a surplus Of
s7.OOO,O0o per month to pile up In the
treasury during the interim.

and protection OF an isthmian canal by
