Cannot Hurt Anything That's Right.
Our Home

In his great speech before the Chi
c&go convention in 1896 William j.
Bryan said: Leave our farms, and
your cities will sprin~ 4, again as if
by magic; but destroy our farms and
the grass will grow in the streets OF
every city in this country Every
man who makes his living by the
sweat of his face will always appre-
ciate this eloquent comparison by its
great author. Mr.. Bryan stands to-
day temporarily defeated by the party
that he affiliates with. The principles
that he advocates may have tenden-
cy to produce a conflict between labor
and capital, but the principles are
eternally right and if crystalized into
law they can not hurt anything else
that's right.

There isn't a line in the Republican
State platform that means better
schools, better morals. better condi-
tons, better care for the unfortunate
classes. Why should a Republican,
who has wife and children, remain
in party that makes such an appeal?
Why should he not rather share with
his Democratic neighbors the selection
of officials and secure a voice in the
government of the State?

The speech of Judge Parker accept
ing the nomination for the Presidency
rings clear and true in it's eXpression1
of Democratic principles and its pre-
sentation of the issues of this years
campaign. 1t is admirable in eVelc
line and every word. The excellent
impression which the Democratic NOM
inee had already made upon the parG
and the country is sure to be strength
ened upon the reading of his speech
of acceptance. and the Democrats viii
enter with enthusiasm upon the cam
paign, confident that in Judge Park1s
they have a nominee whose candidacy
will grow steadily and certainly with
each passing day until it finds consum-
nation in victory.

And the bee? He was hopping mad

A queer story comes from Portos.
near Valonce, in the Department OF

Clementlne fell into catalentic
trance SO profound that her ncigh-
bors made preparations for her il

Clomentine was laid out in her best

near her, and crucilx and piece OF

the bed.

the dead woman sat up on She bed.
She looked wildly round her, and
then got down and walked round tie

1t is difficult to say whether tho de.

so panic-stricken that she leaped out

were issued for a second funeral, but
