THE CANDIDATE IN 1904.
In the Next Presidential
Campaign.

The announcement from within the
democratic national committee that
another nomination for Mr.. Bryan il
impossible" and that there is IAN
abiding faith in the possibilities of Mr..
Olney" would be important IL we were
in the beginning of 1904; but in Feb
ruary, 1901, it is an idle prediction, ex-
cept that it is injudicious according to
all political precedents.
The pushing forward of a specific
candidate prematurely has been re-
garded hitherto as sinister device,
and more especially does it have that
appearance when, as in this case, the
celebration of Mr.. Olney is accom-
panied with reference to Mr.. Hill as
O. "cheap politician" who is playing
for the nomination." hopelessly as
against the wise and careful Olney."
For his part, Mr.. Hill has made no such
mistake, but has caused it to be an
nounced at this stage that he is not
candidate for the nomination and has
only disinterested solicitude for his
party's welfare. Neither has he put
himself i'm an attitude of criticism OF
any candidate suggested, whether Mr..
Bryan or another. He may be cheap
politician" but he is better versed in
the game of politics than is Mr.. Olney,
If the gentleman from Massachusetts,
Is at all privy to sIch an announce
ment of his candidacy.
Moreover, this pitting of Olney
against Hill, with the bitterness of
feeling which the manner of it is sure
to provoke, may conduce to the benefit
of Bryan rather than diminish his
chances of getting the nomination. In
stead of making his candidacy ''impos-
sible," such talk is likely rather to tend
to his advantage by dividing the oppo-
sition to him.
That the contemptuous estimate OF
the political value of Mr.. Hill put for
ward by Mr.. Olney's friends does not
represent the sentiment of his party
was indicated by the peculiar Ustinc-
ton accorded him by the last demo-
cratic national convention, and since
| the election evidences that his candi-
dacy is looked on favorably in the
| southern states have been npny, more
especially of recent weeks, when a
| proposed visit by him to the south has
drawn from it's newspapers most Hat
tering expressions of regard and con-
| fidence.
| The launching of the candidacy OF
Mr.. Olney or anybody else, moreover,
is a waste of effort. because no signs
of the capitalization of democratic
issue will appear before the session
of the next congress and the elections
for congress which will succeed it in
1902. The character of the issue made
will go far and is likely to be decisive
in determining the character, if not
the individuality, of the candidate to
be nominated for the presidency two
years later. Prudence dictates, accord
ingly, that baekers of any particular
aspirant should hold their man in re
serve until the political situation is
thus clarified. If the democrats should
carry the next congress an issue would
be established in their victory which
would make pertinent the discussion
of n candidate fttest to represent it;
but beforehand the sagacious politi-
clans among them are contenting
themselves with silent though heavy
thinliing.-N. Y. Sun.

Miss Thornleigh wrote of various
messages with serene composure,
which Ivan took, promising to send
them off, while throwing a tri-
umphant glance in the direction of
her two girls.
"Don't be uneasy, my dears. AS we
are in for the carnival, by the de-
cree of Providence, we will make the

A. Korean Prison.

The gate was wide open, and the
courtyard was full of prisoners, and the
surrounding buildings were old and
tottering. I asked the chief, whom one
of the two or three listless attendants
called for us, why the prisoners did
not run away. "Oh," he replied, they
would be caught and beaten againsand
kept longer. Now they will get out
SOON"
But as l looked at them I saw they
did not run because they could not.
The life was beaten out Of them. The
keepers brought the heavy red cord
with a brass hook at the end and
trussed up a man with it to show how
the beating was done and then brought
us the stiff rods with which victims
were pounded over the shins and
thighs until the beaten spots were SIM
ply masses of fostering rottenness.
There was a room, black, foul, leprous,

1t Is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness Is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with pois-
on, and nerves completely shattered by
periodical or constant use of intoxicating
liquors, requires an antidote capable of
neutralizing and graduating this poison,
and destroying the craving for intoxi-
cants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss
of time from business by this wonderful
"HoME GOLD CURE" which has been per-
fected after many years of close study and
treatment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonderful
discovery is positively guaranteed to cure
the most Obstinate case, no matter how
hard drinker. Our records show the
marvellous Transformation of thousands of
Drunkards into sober, Industrious and
upright men.
Wives Cure Your Husbands! Children
Cure Your Fathers This remedy is In
no sense nostrum, but is a specific for
this disease only, and Is so skillfully de-
vised and prepared that 1t Is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that
without the knowledge of the person
taking 1t. Thousands of Drunkards have
cured themselves with this priceless rem
dy, and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having the
"Cure" administered by loving friends
and relatives without their knowledge In
coffee or tea, and believe to-day that they
discontinued drinking of their own free
will. Do Not Wait. Do not be deluded
by apparent and misleading "improve-
ment." Drive out the disease at once
and for all time. The "Home Gold Cure
is sold at the extremely low price of One

guments were made in the case of Ed
ward O'Neil of Ellington against Alfred
d. Cady of Stafford, on the PLAINTIFFS de-
murrer. The plaintiff claims that he con-
tracted to buy the Pomeroy wood lot of
defendant; that he paid him $500 down,
and that on the payment of $500 more he
was to have deed of the lot. 1t Is
claimed that later he made a tender of
the $500, but the defendant refused to
make a conveyance of the property. The
defendant claims that the plaintiff cut off
$500 worth of wood from part of the
lot, and that the defendant could not con-
vey all of the lot, asit was found that the
boundaries were not as he had supposed.

nah Leory for breach Of the peace was
