Bryau,s Love for the People,

In the year 1890 Hon. W. j. Bryan
was the candidate for Congress of the
Democrats and Populists Of his dis
trict. He was opposed by Hon. W. J.
COnnell, of Omaha, who then repre-
sented the district During the cam
paign that followed the two candidates
entered into joint debate, and in his
last speech of the series Mr.. Bryan
made he addressed his opponent and
said: when the poor and weak cry
out for relief they too often hear no
answer but the echo of their cry, while
the rich, the strong. the powerful are
given an attentive ear. For this reason
is class legislation dangerous and dead
ly. 1t takes from those least able To
lose and gives to those least in need.
The safety of our farmers and our Ia
bOrers is not in special legislation. but
in equal and just laws that bear alike
on all men. The great masses of our
people are interested not in getting
their hands in other peoples pockets.
but in keeping other peoples hands out
of their pockets. Let me, in parting.
express the hope that You and may be
instrumental in bringing our govern
ment back to better laws. which will
give equal treatment without regard to
creed or condition. l bid You now Il
kindly farewell

Kausas Corn Almost Ruincd.

Kansas City special: Alarming reports
have been coming to the grain men for
several days about the Kansas corn crop.
There has been no rain in parts Ofthe state
for three or four weeks, and the extremely
hot weather, accompanied with parching
winds, undoubtedly has done great dam
age. Letters from the principal corn cOun-
ties in the state, Jewel, Republic, Smith,
Phillips, Mitchell, Cloud, Clay, Dickinson,
Reno and some others, say the crop al
ready is half destroyed, and will be almost
ruined if rains do not come in the next few
days.
President Kemper of the Board of Trade
says 20 per cent. of a crop is the best that
can be expected with plenty of rain from
now on, and there is no rain in sight.

Irriratiou For Hawaii.

A discovery of scientific interest and
great commercial value has been made on
the island of Hawaii. Immense subter-
ranean streams of the purest water have
been uncovered from l $50 to 5000 feet
above the sea level. This water will be
fumed down to the sugar plantations at
lower elevations, affOrding an abundance
for irrigation. From five subterranean
streams tapped within the past few weeks
the Olaa plantation has secured continue
ous flow of 10000, 600 gallons ever twenty
four hours, more than enough to irrigate
the immense plantation. which is the
largest in the island. The water has
drained from the surface into the subter-
ranean beds of ancient lava flows.
