BRYAN ON BOLTING.
ADVISES DEMOCRATS OFs OHIO
TO SUPPORT THEIR oAEDI-
DATES AND PLATFORM.
NO COMFORT FOR REPUBLICANS.
Desertion at This Time, he Declares,
Would Only Weaken Reform
Element in the Democrat
ic Party.
NO COMFORT FOR REPUBLICANS.

LINCOLN, NEB., August s. = Mr..
Bryan will tomorrow make this pub
lie statement OF why he discounte-
nanced the bolt of the Bryan Demo
Gratis:
"Whether the Ohio Democracy is
to take its position on the Grover
Cleveland side Of public issues is a
question yet to be determined-a ques-
tion to be determined at the prima-
rles after the people understand the
issue presented. To leave the party
at this time is to assume the battle
lost, and, by assuming 1t lost, help
the enemy. When the fight was
made between 1895 and 1896 we had
an administration to fight as well as
all the banks and railroads. Now,
many who were against us then act
openly with the enemy, and those
who have returned after temporary
sojourn in the camp Of the enemy are
handicapped by the record they have
made.
'aThere is no evidence that the
Democratic voters in Ohio favor a
noncommittal, evasive and amblgu-
Gus platform, such as the Democratic
party promulgated when the Wall
street influences were in control, and
no one should assume the existence
of such sentiment without positive
proof.
QUESTION CONFRONTING DEMOCRATS.
"But the question which confronts
the loyal Democrats Of Ohio is how
best to correct the mistakes made by
the convention and thus rescue the
Democratic party from the control Of
those who would Republlcanize it.
'aThe fact that the platform con-
tains much that is good, together
with the further fact that the
candidates nominated, from Mr.. Kill
bourne down, through the entire list,
have been supporters of the party
ticket in recent campaigns, would
make it impossible to organize bolt
with any promise of success.
'sThe first effect Of a bolting ticket
would be, therefore, to augment the
chances Of Republican success this
fall. The second effect would be to
lesson the influence of the boiling
Democrats in future party contests.
''It is not fair TO assume that the
convention spoke for the rank and
file of the party in repudiating the
Kansas City platform, and those
who leave the party at this time
weaken the reform element Of the
Democratic party and give to the
gold and corporation element greater
proportionate influence in the party
management"

In reference to paying debts the
Shelbina (Mo.) Democrat agrees with
the Mexico LEDGER and says: people
have sold of so much stock that there
is plenty Of money in the country, and
many are improving the opportunity
thus afforded to pay of debts. That Is
right. The first use Of money is TO pay
debts. The man who is free from debt
has one great cause Of happiness.
When one man pays 1t helps others to
pay. All have heard ofone $40 bill that
paid 500 OF debts in one day; it paid
for ten men, by passing from one To
the other and landed in the pocket Of
the man who started 1t. No man who
owes has right to keep money by
him. He should pay and thus keep the
debt extInguIsher busy. There Is
plenty of money II people will only
keep It moving. Some people like tc
hold onto it too well. Keep it paying
till all are paid"

The Glasgow Missoafsan editorially
says: "Mr. Bryan, while in Chicago
last Friday evening, is credited with
saying: Imperialism is still the great
issue between the two political par
ties. The tariff, to be sure, is an inn
portant subject, but to my mind heart
disease is more serious malady than
the stomach ache If Mr.. Bryan is
correctly reported he no longer regards
the silver question as the paramount
issue, but wisely gives it a position
among the lesser issues of the party.
Mr.. Bryan might, with advantage to
the party, give the tariff precedence
over Imperialism, as the one question,
next to the trusts, in which the mass
Of the people are most nearly concern
ed. The Mckinley high protective
tariff and the trusts are twin evils OF
the first magnitude.

THURSDAY,
VESTS TRIBUTE TO THE DOG,
Showing the Effect Eloquence Will
Have Upon Jury.
From the Nashville American.


One Of the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog was delivered by
Senator Vest, Of Missouri, some years
ago. He was attending court in a
country town, and while waiting for
the trial Of a case in which he was in
terested he was urged By the attor-
neys In dog case to help them. He
was paid fee Of $3.50 by the plaintiff.
Voluminous evidence was introduced
to show that the defendant bad shot
the dog in malice, while other evidence
went to show that the dog had at
tackled defendant. Vest took no part
in the trial and was not disposed to
speak. The attorneys, however,
urged him to make q speech, else
their client would not think he had
earned his fee. Being thus urged, he
arose, scanned the face of each jury
man for moment and said:
Gentlemen Of the jury: The best
friend man has in the world may
turn against him and become his enc
my. His son or daughter may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest
and dearest to us, those whom we
trust with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors to their
faith. The money that a man has be
may lose. 1t flies away from him, per-
haps when he needs it most. A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in a mo
ment of III considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on their
knees to do US honor when success is
with us may be the first to throw the
stone OF malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our head. The one

He states that while hauling water
last Monday morning he saw the Craw-

could see the woman pick the child
(who was probably dead by that time

We WIN Fan Back on the Esn.

From the Columbia Herald.
Corn has been dethroned in Mis-
souri,. The chicken is kingl
During the last twelve months the
total shipment Of poultry and eggs
from Missouri has heen sl2,57l, ,4ezs3
This is an increase of almost hall
million dollars over the previous year
The State labor bureau has made some
comparisons with these figures as Z
basis, Aggregating the shipments O
wheat, corn, oats, flaxseed, rye, barley
timothy seed, clover seed, millet seed,
cane seed, castor beans, broom corn,
hay, straw and apples, and the Mis-
souri, hen beats the aggregation $4,000.
Take all the products of forest and
dairy and the barnyard is still ahead.
Combine the values Of the products OF
all the coal mines, the nurseries and
the orchards and the hen is nearly a
half million dollars ahead. Poultry
and eggs equal in shipping value one
fifth the receipts from all the cattle,
hogs, sheep, horses and mules.
The drouth has not affected the hen,
The hot weather has made her fruit
scarce and hard to keep. But she is
still very much alive and in earnest.
The harvest of the barnyard will dc
much to affect the loss of the corn
crop. Poultry has been regarded as
one of the minor items in the farm
products. The drouth may teach Its
Importance and increasing value.

absolutely unselfsh friend that man
can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treacher-
Gus, is his dog. A mans dog stands
by him in prosperity and poverty, in
health and In sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground, when the wintry
winds blow and the snow drives fierce
ly, if only he may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the hand that has
no food to offer. He will lick the
wounds and sores that come in en-
counter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep Of his
pauper master as if he were prince.
When all other friends desert, he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces, he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens If for
tune drives the master forth an out
cast In the world, friendless and home
less, the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that Of accompanying
him, to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies. And when the
last scene of all comes, and death
takes the master in its embrace, and
his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter if all other friends
pursue their way, there by the grave
side will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness, faith
ful and true even in DEATH"
