DIsAPPRoyEs ABUSE OF FOLK.
Governor Dockery has told many
persons that the campaign Of abuse
which certain papers are throwing at
Circuit Attorney Folk Is foolish, from
both political and a common-sense
point Of view. He has not failed to
rebuke certain men who have spoken
disparagingly Of Folk In his presence.
1.-THE next election is to be carried y
he has told more than one man, "and
personal abuse Of any Democrat by
Democrats does nothing but furnish
material for the common enemy. 1t
must be stopped.
No matter who is nominated, Gov.
Dockery openly pledges himself to go
into the campaign with the same
energy and vigor that have always
characterized his political life in the
State. He helped to bring about har-
mony in st. Louis when he was run
ming for Governor, and he does not
intend, If he can help it, to permit a
division at the present time.f

Some of our large hog raisers OF the
country have been trying the Snoddy
Remedy for hog cholera and many Of
them say 1t is certain the long looked
for cure for this destructive disease.
Henry Wise, Grover Hill, Ohio, a
large breeder of thoroughbred p. @.
hogs, says the remedy will do all
claimed for 1t.
Albert French, Manager of the
French Creamery, Lebanon, Ohio, says
he had lost 100 hogs out Of 260 before
he had heard of the remedy, but got a
case of it and cured the remaining
100 head, losing but three after be
began giving this remedy.
Geo. S. Prime, Oskaloosa, Iowa, is
President of the American Berkshire
Record ASSN, and is good authority
on all hog questions, says he had used
this remedy five years and that 1t will
do all that 1t is recommended to do.
r. L. Dawson, Eolia, Mo-; l. P. Roy,
Wakita, Okla; o. A. Wells, Ardmore,
Ind. Ter; Bible & Workman, Emporia,
Kan.; r. II. London, Philadelphia,
ILL.,, and hundreds of Others who have
cured their hogs with this remedy say
it will certainly do the work when
properly used. No matter how bad
the disease is raging, they say this
remedy will stop 1t and save almost
every hog yet able to take the treat
ment, and when fed as preventative
1t will keep hogs in thrift in a lot ad-
Joining to lots where hogs are sick and
dying.
Snoddy's book on hog cholera fully
explains how to prevent or cure this
disease, and full particulars of the
Ohio test, all free to any hog raiser
who will send his name and address to

COLUMBIA THE ToRcH-BEARER.
Isolation is no longer possible or de-

God and man have linked the nations
= together.
Our real eminence rests in the victo'
ries of
Peace, not those of war. Last
address Of Vim. Mckinley at Buffalo.
Am / better man than Iny brother
my brother beyond the sea?
Be he serf or slave, or prince or knave,
am ! better man than he?
Because OF a bit OF bunting, because
of its power and place,
Shall / hold in scorn, as lesser-born,
the man Of alien race?
He came from the womb of woman; he
came from the selfsame clay.
In the sight Of God, be king or clod,
what Will his birthplace weigh?
o flag of my heart, love youl o
beautiful field OF blue,
o shining star, o glorious bars, /
pledge my soul to you'll
| wrap my love inyour flattering folds,
and fling it to the wind,
To the South and North l send it
forth, to the East and West In kind.
To the lands that live In darkness, to
the peoples sick with fear,
From thy heart unfurled, to all the
world make my message clear:--
No better l than my brother-no bet
ter this land then thine,
But under the stars and rippling bars,
a gleam Of Hope divine;
And we who herd in the cities, who
/ barter our lives for wealth,
Who fight for the power Of a single
hour, with sin, and scheme, and
stealth.
We, who are all unworthy, we are
blazing a path for you,
And naught can stay the glorious day
when Earth will be born anewl
Be not afraid Of our folly, be not dis
mayed at our greed;
We are children yet, and mayhap for
get the days Of our direst need;
But our prentice hands are forging
fast chain Of priceless worth,
Whose links of gold shall bind and
hold the nations Of the earth.
We are all unskilled in Freedom, but
our eyes begin to see
Dawn family bright, the far-e1 light
Of new-found majesty.
Have patience, o, my brothers, have
faith for little whilel
We shall learn at length that the
truest strength is love that knows no
guile.
If we vaunted ourselves unduly, twas
the pride of an eager youth,
Fired with seal for the common veal,
thrilled with mighty truth.
Out Of the wreck Of ages we snatched
that truth sublime;
1t fires us still, and, by Gods will, 1t
shall, to the end Of time.
1t shall lead and lift us upward to q
sterling strength of soul;
1t shall Danish fear, and bring us near
the freeman's destined goal.
1t shall help to spend the coming Of a
world-democracy-
From greed of pelf, from greed of self,
1t shall give us LIBERTY
