BRYAN BREAKS OUT AGAIN
To Nominate Grover, He Says, Is to
Woo Disaster Rather Than
Victory.

Lincoln, Neb.. May decentralization
and disgrace will be the portion of the
democratic party If Mr. Cleveland should
be nominated, is the opinion vouchsafed
by Mr.. Bryan In a page editorial in which
he analyses 1.-THE Lesson Of 1904 He
said:
THE reorganizers assert that to win is
the important thing, but upon this low
plane of discussion the Commoner is pre-
pared to show that the Clevelandizing of
the democratic party would mean complete
disaster rather than victory A victory
that would betray the people as they were
betrayed by the victory of 1892 would be
more disastrous than defeat, because 1t
would weaken it for future contests"
Mr.. Bryan proved by figures that the
congressional elections Of 1894 showed a
republican popular majority twice as large
as In 1896, pointing out that New York
and New England were most emphatic in
repudiating Cleyelandism. He asks:
How can Cleveland's helping the repub-
licans in 1898 help him in preference to a
republican who agrees with them on every
point? Would democrats feel more kind
~ to him?
Mr.. Cleveland left the party democrat
lied and disgraced by his record. Even
as a matter of expediency. the party can
rot afford to travel again the road be-
tween 1892 and 1885,

The reason that labor is attracting so
much attention at present is on account
Of the growth of trades unionism. That
organized labor has become a factor in
the worlds system Of economy is evident
and society must figure on it in all its
evolutions.

trusts. the policy of merging and form
ing great combines Of capital are develop
Hments Of the past two or three years, and
where capital never met with public at

observed. AS labor organizations affect
capital more than any other thing in the
universe, they also come into the glare
OF the limelight.
There is no more trouble now between
employer and employee than there has been
in the past, nor are conditions any more
serious, but the people are up with the

STRAWBERRIES FOR GoUT.
French Chemists Have Discovered
the Presence Of salicylic AeLA ,
In tAe Fruit.

From an alimentary point of view the
strawberry is variously appreciated.
Some say that it is difficult of digeS-
ton; others, on the contrary, maintain
that it is refreshing and diuretic.
Although it is not unusual to meet
with persons incapable of swallowing
a single strawberry without being at
tackled with nettle-rash, and there is
even a case on record # young girl
having an eruption g. the sight of
Strawberries, it may be remembered
that Fontenelle, who was nearly hun
dred years old when he died, was q
large consumer of this fruit, to which
he attributed the good health which
he enjoyed during his long and bril-
liant career.
But really remarkable example of
the therapeutic value Of the strawberry
was furnished by Linnaeus. After suf-
fering from gout for several years the
illusarious Swedish naturalist was
seized at the end of June, 1880, with an
attack of unusual violence. Having
suffered atrociously, having lost his
appetite and being unable to sleep,
and feeling his strength failing, he re-
signed himself one day 70 tasting some
strawberries which were brought him.
He found them palatable, and ate .
large quantity of them.
To his surprise, and, it need scarcely
be said, to his great sAtisfac ton, his
pains diminished, and he was able to
sleep. His experiment appearing to
him sufficiently precise TO warrant
him in going on with it. he continued
to eat plate of Strawberries daily,
and he improved go much that in few
days he was able to get up and walk.
The gout quickly disappeared, and his
general health became good. During
the four following years gout reap
peared, but in q less aggravated form.
Linnaeus resumed the treatment
which had proved so successful, and
again experienced the same results. He
therefore adopted the preventive
strawberry cure every year, and the
result was that for 20 years he never
had the slightest return of gout. says
the Paris edition of the New York Her
aid.
Nothing more was required TO con-
stitute the strawberry specific for
gout. NM. Portes and Desmoulieres
(of Psrisl have found in ten va rieties
of this fruit the reactions characteris-
tic of the presence Of salicylic acid,
and on carrying this analysis further
succeeded in obtaining this acid in
crystalline form from strawberries.

A company of blind children enacted
the play, Jack, the Giant killer" at St.
Louis recently, reports an exchange Of
that city.
1t was their first attempt in the his
trionic line and was pronounced the
success of the season by the theatsr-
goers. The children belong to the
Missouri school for the blind, and the
entertainment was arranged in cele-
bration of the Institutions fifty-hrst
anniversary,
The teachers made all Of the cos
tunes and trained the performers for
weeks beforehand, The latter entered
into the spirit of the occasion with all
of the zest which more favored chill
dren might have exhibited. The re-
markable feature was the keenneSs Of
perception which they displayed.
Guided by some instinct, they never
made one false step but passed and
repassed each other on the stage and
always found their respective places
without collision. Their movements
were all ease and freedom and grace
and their steps were as firm and full of
confidence as though they had been
blessed with the brightest and keenest
of eyes.
Sightless lords and ladies bowed to
a blind king and queen in courtly
style. blind fairy waved her wand
over their majesties without once
touching their crowns. The blind Giant
Bmnderbore marched in all his terrible
might across the stage with the most
threatening strides and blind Jack the
Giant Killer strutted gloriously up and
down with his trusty sword. 1t was
all done with such astonishing accu-
racy, and never was there a mistake in
word or action. The orchestra which
furnished the music was composed Of
Is blind boys, and the attendants OF
the king and queen numbered some 20
sightless little ones.
So that II was a company which real
ly crowded the narrow stage and made
the excellence Of the performs rec all
the more notable. Aparticularly pret-
ty scene was the part in which Jack
led the Princess and Fairy Good in a
dance which was very much ike the
Virginia reel.
After the play S. NJ. Green, superin-
tendent of the institution, was the re-
cipient Of many congratulations upon
the histrionic achievements of his pu-
pills.
"They can do things and accomplish
good in the world just the same as

ly. "Our motto is this: 1t is the soul
