The indications are that Hol-
lands Opera House will be crowd
ed on the occasion of Rev. Sam
Jones' lecture Wednesday night,
March Is. And it is safe to say
that no one will be disappointed in
their expectations Of the "Rev.
Sam. The following editorial APP
peared in the Irwin, Pa, Standard
the morning after his lecture in
that place:
"Sam Jones gave his lecture in
Irwin Opera House, Tuesday night.
We heard Jones lecture in Pitts
burg several years ago, and was
then struck by his peculiarities.
He differs from all lecturers on the
rostrum, being different from all in
his style. He is bright, versatile
and original, has a remarkable
easy flow of language, quick in con
ception of thought, sarcastic to the
highest degree, and has the bes
command Of slang of any man liv
ing. All who attended the lecture
were highly pleased with 1T ant
were highly entertained"

HENRY WATTERsoN's VIEWS
Calls Cleveland and Bryan Two Selfish
Politicians

In an interview with New York re-
porter recently Mr.. Henry Watterson of
Kentucky had this to say on national poll
tics:
'Of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan 1 have
said. and have merely this to say, that
they are the upper and the neither mill
stones seeking to grind the democratic
party to their own uses. or to crush the
life out of it. They are two selfish poll
ticians. neither of whom cares anything
about anybody except himself. The one
has been thrice candidate and twice
President. Talk OF a fourth nomination
and a third election Is too wild to be con-
sidered by sensible people and will not
be considered by any nominating conven-
ton. With reference to Mr.. Cleveland,
have never had any other purpose before
me than the vindication of the truth of
history.
Mr.. Bryan is killing himself as a pub
lie force as fast, and as surely as his
enemies could wish. Il he goes on as he
seems bent upon going, he will become
the merest agitator and claimant at once
impotent and vindictive. He had a great
chance to unite his party and be its War
wick. He went into the presidential ring
obscure and poor. has come forth rich
and famous. and he could well afford the
larger ano sweeter role of peacemaker He
will not carry corporals guard with him
into the next convention. and when he bolts
AS he will-there Will be few or none
to follow him.
Have you formed any opinion as to
the next democratic candidate for the
presidency?"
Il rather think the nomination will lie
between German. Parker and Gray. each
In his own peculiar way a strong man.
and that the nominee will be elected. Mr.
Roosevelt has played a clever hand, and
will probably get his nomination to lose
the election. He had better have stood
upon his record. There was too much
'tunneling' In the BrOadways of republic
can politics to bode any good either to the
President or his party. but all the moral
currents and many physical signs and por-
tents seem setting against the republicans.
so that If the democrats be not wholly
bereft of both sense and fortune they will
come back to power in 1904 by an impulse
as mighty as that of 1892 and much more
discernible. for nobody could foresee the
Homestead riots. while even now the hand
writing on the walls Of Wall street is yisi-
BILE to the naked eye" ~ "

themselves as being satisfied with the sit

to have brief talk, in the way of a review
of the political situation. l do not wish just
now to go into details or to give figures.

can depend upon with practical certainty

upon In my own l don't hesitate to say
