The speeches Of President Roose-

The speeches of President Roose-
welt on his trip and those of some
Of his cabinet members are at
tracing some attention in political
circles. They are distinctly anti
tariff revision. They tell us that
nothing can be expected Of the
republican party in the way OF
tariff revision legislation in the
next Congress, and it is notice to
the people of the country II they
want relief from the burdens OF
trust rapacity, they will have to
elect q Democratic Congress and
a Democratic administration. The
President in his speech on trusts
at Milwaukee said: "Not only is
the legislation recently enacted
effective, but in my judgment it
was impracticable to. attempt
more" How does he know it is
effective until 1t has been tried?
The prosperity Of the nation has
nothing to do with the prosperity
of the trusts. The trusts have
emerged from every panic and
business depression absolutely
unscratched and flourishing as be-
fore, simply because the tariff was
there and still doing business
ct the old stand.

impregnabiIity of Organism.

From what has recently been
said, the Eastern Democrats are
waking up to a realization of the
popular strength of Mr.. Bryan.
Heretofore they have made many
attempts to overlook him; they
have compared him to the rocket,
going up in a blaze of glory and
coming down charged stick-to
the flash of the meteor. But it
turns out that he is fixture OF the
Armament-a star of the first mag
nitude.
Ne are not prepared tosay wheth-
er or not his doctrines be sound,
or whether or not he compares fav-
orably with Hill, Cleveland, Cor
man. Parker and the others INTEL
lectually; but practically they are
as nothing within his powerful
grasp.
There must therefore, be some
thing in him. If his teachings be
vicious, his conclusions erroneous

force? With many of the most
illustrious leaders of the party
against him, the congested wealth
Of the country his profoundest
foe, the present prosperity OF the
nation standing a perfect monu-
ment to the recklessness and un-
truthfulness of his prophesies, two
defeats for the Presidency OBJ
structing his advancement, he
moves forward with the strides OF
Z q giant, and with the approval OF
six million suffragists stamped
upon his brow.
Mr.. Bryan's overthrow is nc
child's play; he must be reckoned
with, so let's not underestimate
him again. Even his bitterest op.
ponents of the past, hear this
FOOLS talk about his gradual dis.
) appearance with q doubling ear
They observe, as they are bound
to observe, that he cannot be ig.
ncred, holding that which al
i others seek, and without whic.
nothing can be done-the voter.

The fact that President Roose-
welt carries but two secretaries,
one doctor, three stenographers,
three messengers, two secret SER
vice men, one poet-naturalist,
representatives of three press as
sociations, representatives of three
illustrated papers, one Official
photographer, and two telegraph
operators and will make but 200
speeches, rather gives a quietus to
the notion that his Western trip is
to be anything but an unpreten-
tious little outing for the purpose

is not wealth that counts in the
making of the world, but charac-
ter. And character is best formed
amid those surroundings where
every waking hour is filed with
struggle, where no flag of truce is
ever sent, and only darkness
stays the conflict. Give me

poverty that is deep enough, the
love that is great enough, and l
will raise from them the best there
is in human character"

Ancient Spanish Mine.

Word from Frontcras, Mexico, con-
yeys intelligence of the rcdiscovcry
Of the famous Bassachuca mine near
that place, very rich silver mine, of
which tradition has long given an
account, but the site OF which has
been long forgotten and unknown. 1t
was one OF the antigua Spanish mines.
and i supposed to have been worked
by the JesuitS. At the time Of the
expulsion OF that order it was doubt
less covered carefully by its owners,
a. in the case OF the old workings in
the Wandering jew, rediscovered
last year by Mary Lully, with a hope
Of one day returning and reopening
the property. Like the Wandering
Jew, the Basachuca was covered with
timbers. brush laid across them and
earth laid upon the brush. With the
lapse Of time those whose knowledge
of its location was such that they
could point it ont all passed away and
the mine became only Il tradition.
Recently vaquero named Juan
Runez. chasing maverick, broke
through place which had been COW
cred over, the weight of himself and
horse being more than the rotten tim
berS could bear Fortunately. neither
horse nor rider went into the cavern
disclosed. Returning to Frouteras,
he reported the matter to the presi-
dent of the town, who, with a couple of
friends, went out TO investigate. They
found the place where the horse had
broken through, and in little time
cleared away the earth, brush and
timberS, disclosing a shaft leading to
extensive workings, in which they
found rich silver ores. They believe
they have the lost Basachuca.
