Judge Overs is admitted to be the
best candidate nominated. II you
want to beat the Republicans. vote for
Overs. 1t may not have occurred to
you that II Stimson remains In the
race he may defeat Judge Overs and
elect Peabody.
The present Democratic campaign
is one OF deceit and corruption. and
am surprised more than l can tell
you, at the stand taken by your news
paper. You may deceive a few Popu-
lists. and. II you do. l trust that the
knowledge that you have deceived
and betrayed your former friends and
allies will be solace to you In the
future.
1t is the plain duty OF every Popu-
list to vote the Peoples party ticket
straight, not only because he believes
in the government ownership OF rail-
roads and telegraphs: In the initiative
and referendum; and the other re-
forms advocated by his party. but be-
cause he owes It to himself to put
his stamp OF disapproval on those
who have stolen our platform. stolen
the corrupt practices of former re
publican administrations in the city
OF Denver, but whenever tested, have
been found wanting.
It IL never wrong to vote for an able
and upright man. and vote Tor
Frank w. Overs is not thrown away.
Respectfully,

Chairman Peoples Party State Central
Committee

outsiders then no kick is coming. but

Mr.. Bryan made one statement Mon
day evening. while remarkable, no
doubt emanated from his heart. He
said the Republican party would be
forgiven for slaughtering Filipinos
providing the members Of the party
would migrate to the archipelago and
leave Democrats to run the United
States This was truthful admission.
Mr.. Bryan cares very little for the spill
ing of blood if it will give him and his
party control. Just think of it. All
of Mr.. Bryan's ranting against i'm
perialism in order to get the people to
stand with him. "All will be forgiven
if the Republicans will only go to the
Philippines so we Democrats can run
this country" The above let's the cat
out of the bag.

A Democrat of long standing re-
marked this morning that for one he
did not swallow what Bryan had to
say. He said he was pretty we'll sat
isfied with existing conditions and
believed in letting well enough alone.
He had one dose of free trade under
Cleveland and did not want any more
of It. And it is quite evident that
nine out of ten feel the same way.
At any rate there is no rejoicing over
/ Bryan's visit as his utterances are
not substantiated by the facts.

personal point OF view. There have been
times when he had to fight for party leader
ship, but that seems TO be past. In the
convention just held nearly every one of
the twenty-one district delegations was en-
thusiastic in his support and it is said
there is only one anti-Hanna man on the
state committee. The convention would
hardly wait 10 hear the chairman, General
Grosvenor, speak, so anxious were the
delegates TO hear Senator Hanna, and when
the latter was escorted TO the platform,
1.-The greatest demonstration of the con-
vention occurred" says the press dispatch.
Special dispatches describe it as a scene of
wild enthusiasm, and say his easy mastery
OF his audience inspired every one with
confidence. In the nominations for state
officers the candidates favored by the
Hanna leaders had swept all before them,
and the senator's inspiring speech estab-
lished his leadership beyond any doubt
The best feature Of his personal triumph
is that II seems 10 have ended the long
fractional fight in Ohio and to have ushered
in an era of good feeling among the party
leaders. In making his personal triumph
coincident with party harmony Senator
Hanna has shown himself past master
of the art OF Cancellation. His continued
leadership in Ohio is now assured, and his
reelection for the senatorial term begin
ming March T. 1905, is beyond doubt
The action of the Kansas convention in
trying to start ''bOon" for the renorni-

emphasizes the universal satisfaction of
Republicans with the administration and
state of disruption and eruption that pre-
walls among the Democracy.

a QUARANTINE PRECEDENT.

Late in the summer of $685. before our
authorities had control OF Havana, and
when there was fear that yellow fever
would spread over the country, one of the
purveyors of epidemics rushed into the
presence of Governor Mount with the fran
tic declaration that there were cases of
yellow fever i'm Louisville and that a quar-
antine should be authorized against that
city unless the executive was willing to
take the risk Of depopulation of Indiana
cities by that dread disease. Yellow fever
is more dread disease than smallpox can
now be under present conditions. Never
theless, Governor Mount did not see the
emergency as wildly as his visitor, who
thought that $4,000 was necessary to guard
Indiana against Havana's disease.
Mr.. Russell Seeds, then representing the
Louisville Courier-Journal in this city, sent
that paper an account Of what had been
told to the Governor. Very naturally the
dispatch caused excitement and indigna-
ton in Louisville. The next day but one
after the dispatch had been sent three car
loads Of prominent citizens of Louisville
and make the protest of Louisville en-
phatic The visiting delegation crowded the
Governors parlors and reached back
beyond the doors. 1t easily satisfied Gov
ernor Mount that there was no yellow
fever in Louisville. 1t was represented that
quarantine against Louisville, even if
there was not case of yellow fever i'm
the city, would be damaging to the bust
ness interests of the city beyond calcula-
ton.
1t is not probable that a quarantine
would have been ordered if the citizens of
Louisville had not visited Governor Mount.
But in view of this incident it seems that
the Louisville Board of Trade has been
hasty in sustaining the officials who have
announced a quarantine against Indiana
when limited inquiry must have satisfied
its members that there is not enough small
pox in this State to cause the slightest ap-
prehension of an epidemic 1t may be
added that if this quarantine shall be en-
forced it will more seriously affect Louis
Vile than Indiana. The people of Indiana
can get along without Kentucky. If the
officials of that State order it, quite as well
as Kentucky can get along without In
diana. Louisville in particular has a large
trade in southern Indiana and probably
distributes its whisky and tobacco through
out the State. AS il is quite possible that |
Indiana cities may resent the action of
Kentucky's Board of Health, Louisville will
be the first to feel the effects of the pro-
posed quarantine.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DAY.

The annual Memorial day, established by
General Logan as commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic in 1865. will be recog-
nized as usual to-day. With the passing
CT the years the exercises have changed,
but the significant feature is that the day is
more widely observed than ii was years
ago, and that al classes of patriotic and
thoughtful people participate in the cere-
monies. In future more and more men who
are not veterans will take part in the ex-
ercises. To-day many Of the most eloquent
addresses will be made by sons of veterans.
and in larger measure the younger genera
ton, with thoughtful reverence, will take
up work which will mean more and more
as the years pass. Not many years hence
there will be none of the men of 1875 to
participate in the exercises of Memorial
day, but it will yet be remembered because
II stands for the great event in history
which made the American people a nation
beyond question. The personality Of the
men composing the great armies of the
Union will be lost sight of, but their i'm
perishable work. like that of George Wash
ington and his men, will be the theme of
glowing eulogy and grateful remembrance
as increasing years shall emphasize the
vastness of the results which their vaIor
made possible.
In the North no public day is so gener-
ally observed as Memorial day The public
celebration of Independence day with ap-
propriate public exercises is by no means
general, although it is a holiday, but there
is reason to believe that the custom of cele-
Drating Memorial day has become so gem
eral in the small villages as well as the
larger towns that it will be continued year
after year indefinitely. The thoughtful peo-
pie Of the country will see the Importance
of one day on which the duties and respon-
sibilities of citizenship can be considered
1t would be a condition fraught with the
possibilities of greater evil for the Repub-
lie should it come about that the thoughtful
portion of the people should not see the
importance of public consideration of the
duties of good citizenship. If that more
perfect union which the trainers of the
Constitution declared it was the purpose of
that instrument TO secure-which means, in
its fullness. the best that can be attained
for the weIl-being of all the people and the
most intelligent and most upright in gov
ernnent-is TO be realized, we must have
days on which to recall the devotion of
those who gave us the Republic and TO
consider our duties in the present.
In the addresses of the day it is fitting
that all honor be given those who kept us a |
nation, but the speaker who stops there
does but half his duty. THAT these shall
not have died in vain," TO use the words |
of the immortal Lincoln, we of to-day must
look well 10 the conditions, remembering /
that civic patriotism and civic duties are as /
imperative in the preservation of our in |
as were the patriotism and valor |
of those who offered life to save the Re |
public.

STRENUOUS SCIENCE.

The story of Prof r. t. Hills experi-
ences in the Island of Martinique and his
own report of his attempt to examine
Mont Pelee at close range read much like
the narrative of daring and well-trained
correspondent the main point of difference
being that the professor shows much
greater technical knowledge than any cor
respondent could be expected to have and
aims at scientific accuracy rather than
newspaper effect. Yet nothing could he
more realistic and impressive than his ac
count, and, it may be added, few men
would have had the courage to undertake
or the endurance to go through with what
he did. 1t illustrates the strenuousness of
modern science and the personal risks its
votaries willingly incur in the pursuit of
knowledge. Chemists. physicians, eIectri-
clans, explorers, aeronauts, experimenters
of all kinds do not hesitate to take their
lives in their hands in the hope of benefit
ing mankind or adding something to the
store of human knowledge Professor Hill

have remained in his study and constructed
his theories on the statements and reports
OF others. He preferred to get his infor

possible. There, after a perilous Journey
