missed him from their minds in any such relations. He may become the nominee of some faction of combined Populism and socialism calling itself by some name a party; but he is no more likely than James Buchanan to be again considered by Democrats for the Presidential nomi- nation for he Is in this party sense as dead politically as Buchanan IS physl- cally.
 Probably every man who reads this per fectly reliable Democratic newspaper was aware that the rs1son for the entire lack of serious Democratic opposition any where in the country to MT. Bryan In 1900 was in the main the conViction that he could not be elected, and that It was needful that he and the political and governmental heresies which he did not beget but which he more than any other man fostered and nurtured should be buried in a common grave. never again to come forth to curse with utter lmpo- tency the only political party in this country whose fundamental primary mls- sion is to maintain the well-being Of all the people,
 Then what is the use of this Senatorial anti-Bryan compact story? Why discuss thls Nebraska Populist, alone and now reasor ably quiet in his new barn with his four-hundred dollar blooded heifer and his ridiculous apology for rural weekly newspaper? Why not leave MT Bryan alone with these and with his own reflections upon his manner of ruin ing and almost destroying the party which had down to his wild time so we'll served the people from the foundation of the Republic?

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly every body knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfec- tant and purifie rin nature, but few re- alize it's value when taken into the hu- man system for the same cleansing pur- pose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the bases and im- purities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other Cdorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe catha"tic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- fects the mouth and throat from the poi son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these loZenges will soon +eIl in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweet CT breath and purer blood, and the beau- tv of it is, that no possible harm can re- suit from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: T advise Stu arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow cls, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; ] also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets" su-tf

HE IS STILL DEAD.
HE OF AMBRos1AL LOCKS.

"Jayham" Lewis, otherwise the Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, one time a Popu- Democrat member of Congress from Washington State how,er of the peer less leader" species, and now vice-presi- dent and general counsel of the beet sugar trust. Chicago. is spending a few days flaming the air in the East the enemy's country" of the peerless" one to which he Is graciously lending his beautiful and. accomplished whiskers.
 MT. Lewis has of course suffered him self to be interviewed and equally of course he has taken opportunity to make the customary filings at the best Demo- crats in the country, whom he charac- terizes as Rip Van Wrinkles" and to make his habitual nomination of impos- sible Presidential candidates, praising amongst others for the Presidentcy per son by the name of Hearst.
 Otherwise and in general, MT. Lewis is the first of the discredited ones to come out of the western region of un-Demo- cratic craziness since the general cleo tions, and he conclusively demonstrates that he hasn't learned or forgotten any thing since 1896 Gratuitously and con- siderately he asserts that Mir. Bryan IS not and will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1904 but that there are others; all of which MT. Lewis expects various and sundry persons 10 believe.
 Perhaps Mir. Lewis, who individually Is an amiable and agreeable man, would pardon the suggestion that politically honest Rip Van Wrinkles" are possioly preferable to personally honest political Bill Sykeses."

 The suspension of The Times has been expected for quite long while, Tor IL was clear to men who know anything about the cost of getting out daily news papers that this particular one was not making money that its columns did not show profitable business.
 The Times was started by Stilson Hutchins several years ago as rival Of The Post, which he had sold to former Congressman Beriah Wilkins Of Ohio and former Postmaster General Frank Hat ton. the latter of whom died not great while afterward. Under the management of MT. Wilkins The Post. which was old established, soon became one of the most profitable newspapers in this country as it is easily one of the cleanest and best Its income is now reckoned in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
 Rut it Is said that The Times was nev- CT at any time a paying property. and that only Stilson Hutchins's ample for tune kept it going until he was enabled about fifteen months ago to dispose of it to Frank Munsey. magazine publisher who about the same time acquired The New York Daily News and Who recently purchased the so-called moribund Boston Journal It appears that Mir. Munsey paid $225, ,0OO for The Times. which price astonished newspaper men here and he I.f, uter f11r no a year ago that he had bought for The Times two of the finest presses ever made, costing $9O,OO0 each.

NO ANTI-BRYAN COMBINE.

Words, words, words-thousands of words, paid for at the usual telegraphic press rates plus still heavier other ex- penses-are being wasted today in the purely academic and impractical discus sion of various insubstantial allegations to the effect that the complete elimination of MT. Bryan from all political conven- tions is directly to be credited to a con- cert of action agreed upon months ago by the Democratic Senators.
 Most likely this Is nonsense. At best 1t is utterly improbable. The aVera ge man will be inclined to say 1t is an inn possible story, and it is the average man who governs this country, through the medium of his elected masters whom he used to fond'y imagine We're his servants
 In the first place. many of us believe we know, by repute or in person, some Democratic Senators who have, down to this good Thanksgiving time, ap- pea.red very clearly to lack the Rerstcal feqFase fesh oppose eeres tss leader" Indeed. We know of some of these Senators who have failed Sd far to give earnest that they are one whit less impossibly heretical than the peer less one himself
 Moreover, and which Is of real present. day interest no Senatorial compact to shelve Bryan could have possibly been kept so long secret from those newspa- per workers whose training livelihood, and prime purpose rest in finding out every serious political movement and re- porting the why's and wherefores thereof. Considering this and considering the in- innate personal relations that subsist be- tween various newspaper men and those who more properly perhaps are called public men, we are forced to the conclu- sion that there is no actual foundation for this talk about a concert of Demo- cratic Senatorial action against the per petual Presidential aspirations of MT. Bryan
 Above all, there was no occasion for any such action. There hasn't been a moment since 1he first Monday in Novem- Der, 1900. when serious and thoughtful possible nominee of their party for Pres ident in 1904; they having completely dis
