Of Jesus Of Nazareth" in explanation
of the work, jefferson said himself:
1T is a paradigm Of Jesus doctrines
made by cutting the texts out of the
books Tor the Bible and arranging them
on the pages of a blank book in Ger
tain order Of time or subject. A more
beautiful or precious morsel Of ethics
l have never seen"
The compiler omitted everything Of
miraculous nature and confined his clip
pings to the pure teachings of Jesus. He
clipped from all the Gospels using the
verses which make the clearest state
ment where the texts are practically the
same but he inserts texts from all OF
them so as to include the entire teach
ings Of the Saviour. In a clear lucid
form apart from all surroundings OF
the supernatural appear the words and
moral teachings Of Jesus.
Jefferson's Bible is the only one of his
works not published up to this time by
Congress.

That there is greater public interest
in knowing what the Democratic con-
vention at ST. Louis Will do than what
the Republican gathering at Chicago
will do is not better manifested than
by the demand for press seats at he
two conventions.
Generally speaking it is already known
just what the Republicans will DO; 1t
is known who the candidate for Presi-
dent will be, who will make the nomi-
mating and seconding speeches, reason
ably well who the nominee for Vice
President will be, and substantially
what the platform will be.
Yet with respect to the Democratic
convention all is uncertainty. 1t is con-
ceded that the Republican program will
be a cut and dried affair, while 4
matter Of fact every one expects that
there will be some fun and certainly a
great deal of interest in the Democratic
conclave.
Approximately 500 press seats nave
been asked for at the Chicago cOnVen-
ton. The assignment is IN the hands
Of a committee and the press section

More than l 800 seats have been asked
for at the St. Louis convention, and
Charles d. Mann, doo-keeper of the

for nearly six weeks in making the as
signments. The press associations and
the daily papers have asked for approx

 candidate, said it was unconstitutional It was suffered to remain dead letter
 throughout President Cleveland's entire administration We now have a great
 republican general. His name is PhiIander c. Knox. He brought suit under this statute against the greatest railroad combination fin history--the Northern Securities Company-and the
 Supreme Court of the United States has
 just decided that the statute was not
 only constitutional but effective. The

 So much for the records of the two parties as to the trusts. The republican

 nation in any business which is throt- 1 ting the American people and violating
 the law, we shall stand by the American people, and we believe that the intelli- gent American voter will stand by us. Our finances are in excellent condition. Every dollar of our circulation is as
 good as gold all over the world. Our treasury will show credit balance. We have made liberal appropriations for great public purposes They are all Legitimate and commendable and will be approved by the people. Our opponents
 say we have been extravagant. This is not true. This country is growing and expenses will continue to increase.

country will be thrown into panic and confusion, and we shall have a new era of bond issues to restore depleted treasury, as we did in Cleveland's time. The democrats of Connecticut held a convention in Hartford last week. The familiar old bogy of Imperialism was resurrected from the grave in which it had been laid to rest by the American people four pears ago. The tariff which protects American industries and Amer ican labor was denounced as a scheme of graft" and tise party administra- tion was duly declared to be distasteful to the democratic party. We look for that paramount issue"-the panacea for all our ills-the free and unlimited coinage iof silver at sixteen to one, with out waiting for the aid or consent of any foreign nation,-but it has been called on for reform. We welcome and challenge a campaign on these issues if the democrats will only adopt them in their national convention. They are all at sea, both as to principles and candi- dates. They have aspirants enough, but amid the discordant and contending factions of their party there is no unity of purpose. no harmony of feeling, no sanity in action. It will make little diff ference who they nominate. He cannot be elected, for the country knows that no man. however well meaning or how ever able. could give a sane administra- tion of the affairs of this country when he had to rely for support upon party so divided against itself. I congratu- late the republican party that we are inl no such condition as that The people have selected our candidate. His name is Theodore Roosevelt. His address is the White House Washington, D. C., and will so continue for the next four years. He has been long close to the hearts of the American people, but when he succeeded to the post of the sainted Mckinley and consecrated him self to the task of carrying out his pol icies he became dearer to us than ever before. He has been tried in many posts and never found wanting. AS Harvard student; as rancher on the plains; as police commissioner of the city of New York: as governor of the Empire state; as assistant secretary of lilC itdNy, dS OldlOl anu SedsSoiiois etAiN as president, he has discharged every duty and honored every position he has filled. By his integrity. his courage, his industry, his purity of life, his kindness of heart, his great ability and his spot less character, he has won the hearts of the American people and endeared him self to all. He accomplishes results. If coal strike which menaces the happi- ness of the people can be settled by his suggestion he settles it. If a trust is to be curbed, he crubs it. If a canal is to be built, he sees that the best way is
