Bryan VS.. German.

There will be protest in the Senate
against Mr.. Germans leadership, and
the sooner that protest is made the
better for the party."-Mr. Bryan in
the Commoner.
1t is very evident that Mr.. Bryan
does not approve of Mr.. Germans
presidential aspirations. When it is
remembered, however, that Mr.. Cor
man was chosen as the leader of the
Senate democracy by reclamation, and
even with something approaching en-
thusiasm, the statement of Mr.. Bryan,
made in positive terms, that there will
be a otest"-presumably a Demo-
cratic one-to his enactment of the
role which has been accorded him with
such fattering unanimity, would seem
to call for further explanation. What
senator in the Democratic fold is to
lead the forces of revolt, and just whom
will he represent?

Senator TiIlman at Detroit.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina
stirred up hornets nest with mis-
address on the race problem at Detroit
last Tuesday evening. He spoke in
his usual lurid style, and, in the course
Of his remarks referred to some of
Sherman's army as "bummers, chicken
thieves and carpet baggers." This
called forth storm of Kisses, and
for time trouble was feared, but the
tumult finally subsidized and the South
Carolina fire eater was permitted to
finish his remarks. you butchered
the Indians and shut out the China
man." he declared, "but had it been
known by the soldiers who surrendered
with Lee that 1t was your devilish in
tent to act up the negro over the white
man we would have fought you till
now" ".
This is certainly warlike talk, and
vet the Senator's sketch in the Con-
gressionai directory states that he left
school to join. the Confederate army
but was STRICKEN With a "severe ILL.,
ness" which prevepted his participation
in actual hostilities and relocated him
to agricultural pursuits. The Senator
appears to be one of those men who
are fairly peaceful in times of war,
AMI exceedingly warlike in times of
peace. He has, however some notable
advantages over many of the men of
his section. He is honest and out
spoken. He says what many of them
merely think. 1t is very evident that
he would not think of looking for a
good colored man outside of a ceme-
terry. He has long suffered from
negrophobia in it's worst form, and OF
late there have been increasing evil
dences that it is striking in.

The New Birth of Havana.

ment upon the marked improvement in
its affairs that has been brought about
by the Introduction of American meth
DDS of administration. Commenting
upon the present situation in Havana
distinguished American recently
said:
1.-THE streets of the city were as
clean if not cleaner than those in the
cities in this country. 1t is true that
they are very narrow, and do not
make so good a showing as the streets
of our city, but on my recent visit 1
found them much cleaner than they
had been formerly. There is every
appearance of prosperity in the city,
and the people seem contented. There
has also been a decided decrease in
the number of beggars on the streets,
and strangers can walk the thorough
fares without being stopped and asked
for money at every turn. The differ
ence is so great that it is a pleasure to
visit the island now"

because she has good common sense.
If l had two women to choose from,
one having common sense and the 9TH

who is only religious may backslide,

plenty of cause for it, but a woman
who has common sense will not expect

When disease gets into the kidneys il
is just as certain to take person Off as
leprosy, unless it is checked before it
goes too far. IL people just knew the
danger that lurked in diseases of these
delicate organs, they would be as careful
of them as they are of their eyes.
People who have sound kidneys should
understand how to protect and take care
of them. "Blood Wine" is a sure cure
of Kidney Diseases because it removes
the poisons that collect in the blood
through the inactivity of the kidneys.
Mr.. John T. Foster, of Manchester,
n. H. speaks as thousands speak.
"sBlood Wine' is truly most remarkable
medicine. In my case its work has been little
short of a miracle. For some time / suffered
with Kidney disease and Rheumatism, of most
painful and advanced type. Itried aboutevery-

me when | struck Blood Wine I struck the
Rock of Gibraltar. 1t stood my severe test and
conquered my trouble, and today l am well
man, due wholly to this great medicine. To my
mind there is absolutely nothing that will COM
pare with it, and Ihave no hesitation in advising
any one in ill health to give it thorough test"
just read this letter from Mr.. James B.
Mirick, Worcester, Mass.
"As a tonic and invigoranta as well as q specific
for all kidney and bladder ills Blood Wine is
unexceled. have used it and do not hesitate
10 heartily recommend it."
Miss A. Davis, 1856 Washington Street,
Boston, Mass, says:
"For kidney trouble, believe there is moth.
ing better than Blood Wine l have been
troubled with difficulties arising from kidney
disease for years, and have found nothing to
compare with Blood Wine.'"
Mr.. Dan. A. Metzel, 202 S. 9Th Street,
Terre Haute, Ind, says:
"For some years past have suffered greatly
with my kidneys and rheumatism, which at
times almost unfit me for work. Iheard of a

Bangor is coming to a point where
it awakes on Sunday morning with the

Jordan who was shot down by a male
factor, while in the pursuit of duty.
The next week the Deering murder in
Brewer shocked and mystifieu the
whole community. And last and most
fiendish came the attempt to wreck the
house of another police officer and de-
stroy his family by the agency of dy-
Mantle. 1t has been a notable Sc
quence of Saturday night tragedies and
it is hoped that the end has been
reached. However, today wilH be filed
