AS TT WAS IN ATHENS.

The story of Grover Cleveland brings to mind events which happened in the classic city of Athens nearly twenty ed The Just" because of his unswerv- ing honesty and integrity. had the mis- fortune to offend a clique among the Athenians led by a man who was as far below Aristides in the nobler ele- ments of Greek manhood, as he was above him in the tricks by which some men win popular favor. Through the machinations of this rival Aristides was banished by the Athenians. one of whom gave as a reason for voting for his banish- ment that he was tired of hearing him called The Just" That title was constant reproach to the rival and his followers. He was banished under ten-year sentence. but at the end of six years was recalled and the people gave him greater honors than he had enjoy ed before his banishment. They realized the error and injustice of their decree and made ample amends for it.
 MT. Cleveland enjoyed the respect and confidence of the American people. They knew him to be honest fearless and absolutely ineorruptible, and they believed in him. But it was his good or i'll fortune to incur the enmity of politicians who could not use him, and who hated him for his integrity and courage. They seduced the people and misled the Democrats. causing them to turn their backs on their strongest man and blindly follow q blind leader who promised what he could not per form and whose strength lay in Il boundless stock of oratory to bolster up a weak cause. Cleveland was ban ished and another tried to take the place which he was not big enough to fill
 Now the story of Aristides and the Athenians is repeated. Cleveland has been recalled-not to the active leader ship of the Party, because he set his face against it--but to his proper place In the estimation of the true Democrats of the land. Had not another eminent New Yorker been endorsed so strongly and had not MT. Cleveland so positively forbidden the use of his name, we Verily believe he would have been nominated and elected. But 1t needed not that to reinstate him in the hearts of the people. They have seen that he was right and they were wrong and they admit 1t. The spontaneous Dutburst at the mention of his name al St. Louis was as genuine as 1t was sig nificant. It was one of the incident: which mark the return of Democracy to sanity. It was an evidence tha Clevelandism has been recalled iron banlshment and Is again in power. l Parker is elected, it will be becaus the Democracy represented by Grove Cleveland again holds the rudder. Trutl and right will always triumph in tn end.

TRAGIC INSOMNIA,
""reesous Rage Caused by Lack ef Sleep Proves Fatal to Two
 People.

fearful tragedy recently occurred m Pnlladelphia where a prominent chemist shot both his wife and himself aiter a desperate struggle. His phy- sicians are reported as saying that the iIoie anair was due to mental de- ransements caused by sleepiessness.
 Many suffer from this cause without knowing how to obtain relief while their condition daily grows more des- perate. All such will read with inter- est how MT. Thomas Hessian. of South Hampton, N. H., finally succeeded ,n ridding himself of an attack of insom- mia which baffied the skill of his phy- sician.
 MT Hessian is farmer and is in the napi, or retiring very early. It was in April, 1903. that he found he could no longer get the sleep that he needed to fit him for his days duties.
 T would turn from one side to an. other in bed," says MT. Hessian but could not get over fifteen minutes sleep before I was awake again. an1 | when I got up in the morning I was
 more tired than when I went to bed at | night. I consulted physician, who
 said had insomnia He prescribed | for me but his medicine did me no good ! and I began to feel that I would have | to give up work altogether.
 While I was in this miserable state | and utterly discouraged, I chanced to | see an advertisement of Dr. Williams
 Pink Pills for Pale People and was so impressed by the evident truthfulness | of the statements made that made up | my mind to give the remedy trial. Tt was in June that I took my first dose of the pills. Before I had finished
 the first box I noticed slight improve | ment in my condition. and as I contin-
 ued to use the remedy the benefit be- came more marked until, when the fifth
 box was gone I could enjoy sound.
 restful sleep and wake up in the morn-
 ing refreshed and ready to take up
 my work with my old time energy. My
 health has since remained excellent;
 have a good appetite. strength to do a
 hard days work and ability to sleep
 soundly and to wake up in buoyant | spirits"
 | Insomnia ultimately wrecks health completely and renders the victim un- | fit for any mental or physical work. It's
 earliest manifestations should be re- | garded as a grave menace and should l be checked at once.
 l Dr. Williams Pink Pills are a safe
 as well as an effectual remedy. They | contain no opiates, but furnish elements

Does Not Sound Sincere.

Lexington, (Ky.) Herald
 When MT. Bryan in his statement has given his four apologetic reasons for supporting the ticket. he proceeds at much greater length and with more zeal and zest to set forth objections which he reserves to the ticket. He fancies that the party is under the con- trol of Wall Street; that Democratic victory will not mean progress on eco homie questions; that Parker will pur- sue a course similar to Roosevelt on the trust question; that there Is doubt concerning Parkers disposition con- ceI ming labor questions, and that Par ker's nomination was the successful outcome of a plain and deliberate at- tempt to deceive the party.
 This does not sound like the talk of a gentleman who will give Parker and Davis sincere support It looks more at the very outset of the campaign. This initial statement of MT. Bryan is mere likely to be quoted later on by Populists and Republicans than by the Democrats who will try to elect Par
 ker and Davis.
 But we are willing to believe that MT. Bryan is still sore under the sting of his failure to get a candidate exact ly to his liking al St. Louis. In due time he may yet bring himself to some genuine and effective efforts to induce poses to vote himself. MT. Bryan's vote is one vote and no more. If he desires to stand with the rank and file of the Democracy he must do more than vote He must get to work for the
 ticket in a spirit very different from | that betrayed in his initial announce | ment.

THE BARBER AND THE NEGRO.

well, IL ndS DTOhen lOOSt TlSul uHutT the eyes, and nose, of the great mogul of mixed politics. We mean the race question. Right in the sacred purlieus of oyster Bay, where the door of hope is supposed to stand wide open at all hours of the day and night, where q negro is supposed to be as good as Q white man, or possibly little better, and where it was not thought that race prejudice would dare to raise its head, it broke out good and hard last Satur- day.
 From the report which comes from Oyster Bay 1t seems that that one Rev. James T. Gaskin, gentleman of color. wanted a Saturday night shave. He wanted a smooth face in order that when he ascended the pulpit on Sunday, his ebony skin should shine in all its glory and darkness. Accordingly, he entered a white barbering establish ment and demanded a shave. Then there was something doing, and the re- port says:
 Newport stepped tip to him and said:
 I'm sorry sir, but you cannot be shaved in this shop"
 Why not?" asked the negro.
 Because" said Newport, your color is against you"
 The shop was filled with patrons, and Gaskin turned to them.
 Are you gentlemen going to allow a Christian man of character and just because of his color?' he asked.
 The spectators made no reply.
 By this time Newport had stepped toward the negro and told him politely he could not be shaved there and asked him to leave the shop.
 T insist, sir, as a Christian and a gentleman that l be shaved said the clergyman.
 T insist, sir. as proprietor of this shop that you get outside" replied Newport
 The next moment the clergyman found himself out on the walk. New port had practiced football tactics on him. The negro declared the proprie- tor of the shop took a policemans club from behind a mirror and threatened to strike him.
 That is a brief account of the incl dent. but it is enough. The man and brother, who only demanded to be treated just like the white trash, was
  negroes of the place were mad and talked of carrying the case before the President. Just what he could do wt are not appraised. We have not learn. l ed that his word Is supreme in tho town. If 1t Is. we suppose Barber | Newport will be ordered to keep oper | shop in future or incur the wrath o l the great .broncho buster and have hi! shop incontinently closed. unless he vii agree to shave and shampoo all th' Presidents odorous colored friends. I l he does this, of course he will an' should lose the patronage of all decen white men. so he will be in a predica ment for a fact. The preacher him self denies that he favors anything lik social equality but thinks a barbe should shave black faces and dres kinky hair regardless of race, color or odor. Let us add that we admir- this barber's taste and spunk. Tn white people should see that he lose | nothing by it.

MIR. BRYAN'S STATEMENT.
The Democratic Papers are Roasting 1t
 Working for Defeat.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 MT Bryan concludes his announce ment that he will vote for Parker and Davis with these words:
 AS soon as the election is over shall, with the help of those who be- lieve as I do, undertake to organize for the campaign of 1908, the obect be- ing to marshal the friends of popular government within the Democratic Party to the support of radical and progressive policy to make the Dem ocratic Party as an efficient means in the hands of the people for securing re- lief from the plutocratic element that controls the Republican Party and for the time being is in control of the Dem ocratic Party. This plan of organiza- tion will be elaborated soon."
 This is merely corroborative of what The Courier Journal has already said that it is the one wish of Mir. Bryan that Parker and Davis shall be defeat ed, and badly defeated. That accom- plished, it is MT. Bryan's hope that the party will again turn to him for its nominee in 1908. MT. Bryan will vote for the ticket he assails. but only for the purpose of regularity"
