have noticed that the echo re.
turns with varying tones of force
from different echoing substan-
ces. The side of a house gives
back a strangely different echo
from the side of hill, and the
same is true in contrasting the
rocks of a mountain and stretch
of woodland.
Such a truth of nature has
comfort in it for those of us who
are always looking on the hope
full side. Is it not true that we
who testify by our words OF our
lives to that which we consider
truth, often fail to catch just the
response from others which we
would like to get But they are
not deaf; they have heard what
we have said, and if they them
selves are lovers of truth there
will come back in some form or
another the echo of our testi-
mony. 1t will be changed be-
cause it will have impressed an
different individual from
ourselves. We cannot by word
or mouth or will of mind change
the characteristics of those who
are around us. We have done
our duty when we have given

We echo them. The knowledge |
If the world is echoed knowl-

lave a message to the world,
hout it out. Your voice may
lot be just as sonorous as that

will be as pure as his if you are
houting your message the best

is only waitine to be absolved,
by the expiration of his present
term, from his obligations with

Government reports issued last
week announce that the price Of
a majority of the necessities Of
life are cheaper. While beef,
mutton, lard, butter, wheat,
corn, oats and sugar and vege,
tables have gone up, other nee.
essities like pig-iron, leather,
copper, tin spelter, and hair
cloth have gone down. All that
the workingman has to do now
is to accustom himself to making
a dinner of these last named ma
terials, Rent costs him more
than it did, but he never could
buy a steam yacht or an auto
mobile, cut flowers, or silk I'M

The smallness of the crowd and the

were commented upon. Though about
500 influential Bourbons were invited
to lend their presence as vice presidents
of the meeting, only twenty-nine ap-

The gallery Of the theater was prac-

untitled seats in the parquet and dress
circle.
Music by a band preceded and fol-

withstanding the smallness of the au-
dience, was pronounced a success by
those Democrats who took the trouble
to be present.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
HAPPIEST MAN IN UNCLE SANS
NAVY.

II am the happiest man in Uncle
Sans navy. / must have got the piles
from always sitting on the guns, for
! have to get on them to clean them,
as 1 am first-class gunner's mate In
the after turret.
i could not do any work when
had the piles; my shipmates did it for
me. / certainly was in bad condition;
to-day there is no man aboard the ship
in better condition than l am, and /
can certainly thank Pyramid Pile Cure
for the world of good it;has done me-.
1 used so many different medicines and
spent lots of money until / used this
remedy; it is the only one of the whole
lot that did me any good.
"The first box nearly cured me, and
I don't think / ever felt happier in my
life, that l thought 1 got the real stuff
at last. To make sure of a cure l used
a number of boxes. also two boxes of
Pyramid Pills and one and one-half
boxes of Pyramid Ointment, and I still
have four boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure
left, that 1 keep in case l meet anyone
that is a sufferer of piles. l thank
Pyramid Pile Cure a million times"
Julius A. Koester, Z. S. Flagship Kear-
sarge
The wonderful cures effected by this
remedy are subject for remark among
members of the medical profession
everywhere A little book describing
the causes and cure of piles is publish
ed by the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall,
Mich. and we advise every sufferer to
write for it. It is singular fact that
one out of every four suffers from
this distressing complaint. and another
peculiar feature is that it is no re-
specter of persons, attacking both those
of high and of low degree, the laborer
and the millionaire, the scrubwoman
and the lady of fashion. We have
pleasure in recommending Pyramid
Pile Cure to all such, as it possesses
merit, and since it is sold by all drug
gists generally for the low price of fifty
cents package a prompt and speedy
cure is easily within the reach of
everyone

COMMITTED ACT OF WAR.

"The display of force made by the
present Republican executive which
prevented Colombia from landing her
troops upon her own soil for the sup
preston of domestic disorder was vio-
lation of the rights of friendly Eover-
eign, was a breach of the treaty be-
tween the United States and Colombia.
under which the recognition of the SOW
ereignty of Colombia over the isthmus
of Panama was sacredly stipulated,
and was a breach of that provision of
the treaty which compelled the party
having a grievance to state its grieV-
ance and exhaust all other means or
redress before resorting to force.
"Thls display of force was an act of
war, even though the consequences
were bloodIess, and constituted viola
.tion on the part of the President of the
constitution of the United States, which
gives to Congress alone the power to
declare war. This action violative of
international law, of treaty obligation
and of the constitution of the United
States, was as unnecessary as 1t was
brutal. Continued diplomatic negotia-
ton would have finally secured to our
Government the possession of the Pan
able to the two contracting parties.

he is against foreign wars needlessly

exploitation, corrupting and expensive
as it is, and because he is an earnest
and a true protector of the Demo-
cratic faith as handed down to us
from Thomas Jefferson. And we
stand against Theodore Roosevelt.
