Eastern Democrats, who, a few weeks
since, could not find words strong enough
with which to express their Reproduction
and scorn of Mr.. Bryan, are now looking
to him, as their last hope, to carry In
diana.
The complaisant Nebraskan has strip
ped off his coat and plunged into the
task laid out for him. But the voice of
the aforetime charmer can charm no
longer. Insincerity kills the most mighty
effort. No man can win votes under the
circumstances surrounding Bryan at this
time. 1t must be a bitter pill for David
Bennett Hill to swallow. the last resort
to Bryan to save a pivotal State to the
dying Democracy, and it cannot be a
very congenial task to Bryan, the effort
he is making under the party whiplash.

APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN.

want to say word to the young men
whose political life is beginning:
Anyone entering business would be
glad of the chance to become one of an
ablished firm with years of success
behind it.
Everything great done by this country
in the last fifty years has been done
under the auspices of the Repubhcan
party. Is not this a priceless asset?
Lincoln and Grant, Hayes and Gar
field, Harrison and McKinley-names Sc
cure in the heaven of fame-they are all
gone, leaving small estates in worldly
goods, but what vast possessions in prin-
ciples, memories, sacred associations! 1t
is a start in life to share that wealth.
In our form OF government there must
DO two parties.
But what young man would not rather
belong to the party that does things,
instead of one that opposes them; to the
party that looks up rather than down; to
the party of the dawn, rather than Of the
sunset?
For fifty years the Republican party
has believed in the country and labored
for it in hope and joy;
Has reverenced the flag and fol-
lowed it;
Has carried it under strange skies and
planted it on far-receding horizons;
Has seen the nation grow greater
every year and more respected;
Has seen the country extend its inter-
course and its influence to regions I'M
known to our fathers;
Yet it has never abated one jot or little
of the ancient law imposed on us by God
fearing ancestors. The Constitution OF
our fathers has been the light to our
feet. Our path is, and will ever remain.
that of ordered progress, of liberty under
the law.
But we are not daunted by progress.
We are not afraid of the light.
The fabric our fathers builded will
stand all shocks of fate or fortune.
While there will always be proud
pleasure in looking back on the history
they have made, the coming generation
has the right to anticipate work not less
important.
We who are passing off the stage bid
you, as the children of Israel encamping
by the sea were hidden, to go forward.
We whose hands can no longer hold the
flaming torch pass it on to you, that
its clear light may show the truth to
the ages that are to come.

Mr.. DAVIS FIGURES.
A Few Samples Showing Their Amaz-
ing Inaccuracy.

Assurance. without pronounced guile,
marks the acceptance letter of Hon.
Henry G. Davis. the octogenarian can
didate of the Democrats for the Vice
Presidency. He expresses his opinions
on political conditions as if they were
original with him, as if he were not Il
human phonograph with a single cylin-
der that has caught the echo of Judge
Parker's echo of the Democratic stunt of
oratory. 1.-The times are propitious for
the reinstatement of the Democratic par
ty in control of the government is the
assertive way Mr.. Davis begins his po-
litical sermon. The November ballots
will be all "amens'' to that.
Who but the Democrats will agree
with him? when the present admins
tration went into power there was large
surplus" he declares. He imagined that.
The Republicans came into power in
1897. Is that the meaning of his pres
ent administration If so, and he means
surplus of revenue over ordinary ex-
penditures, he is in error. Mr.. Cleve-
lands closing year of his last term
showed EXCESS OF EXPENDI-
TURES OVER REVENUE to the
amount of S1S,052.254. The surplus was
the wrong way. The statistics were east
ly obtainable; why should Mr.. Davis
make such misstatement! IL he meant
Mr.. Roosevelt's term, beginning in 1900
with Mr.. Mckinley, there was an eN-
cess in that year Of revenue over eSpendi-
lures amounting to $40, 527 .060. There
fore he is wrong again. In extenuation
it may be said that the Democrats never
We're good nor correct figurers. As, for
instance, again. when he asserts that the
revenues for the last fiscal year were
over $4OOOO,OOO short of the expendi-
lures. He must have been guessing
again. not having authenticated figures.
In 1903 the excess of revenue over ex-
penditures was over 52,OOO,OO0. The
absurdity of Mr.. Davis computations
and comparisons could not be more forci-
bly, shown than when he quotes statistics
to show the cost of running the govern
ment and the army under the Buchanan
regime from 1857 to 1860, when the pop
ulation was 31,21S,O21, and puts it, as
an evidence of his party's economy, in
contrast with our SO.0OO.OOO population

his compiling such figures himself; but

him to issue them without the common.

using his judgment as to their application

ceiye.

The Tong Haks present the only
virile patriotic faction in Korea. But
it is faction now threatening, now
dispersed. now on the war path. now
dissolved among the body of the peo-
pie, now robbing and footing. now
fighting, and now busted with theologi-
cal arguments in a manner SO impos-
sible to western thought, motives and
methods that it is almost impossible
to characterize it.
1t is the more difficult because the
Tong Hak belief partakes of the ma
ture of a religion and of piracy, OF
metaphysical discussion and Of massa-

KEEPING HOUSE IN RUSSIA.
Some of the Difficulties Which Must
Be Overcome.


An Englishwoman residing in the in
terror of Russia thus describes her
housekeeping experiences: las moist
sugar is unobtainable on the steppes.
one is obliged to break up a huge
two-pound or three-pound lump into
pieces and crush in pestle and NOR
tar. l believe that churns may be
procured in big towns, but they would
be very expensive, and the English
residents in country villages, who do
not care for the smolle-ff favored Co.'S
sack butter, make their own by shak-
ing cream in a big bottle. The Cos
sack servants are capital laundry
women, though their washing appli-
ances are somewhat primitive; they
use large, low, wooden troughs to wash
the clothes In and boil them in open
boilers. The system of mangling is
rather curious; first, they wrap the
things carefully around wooden
roller, like pastry pin, then press it
up and down a board scored with
hicks, loosely laid on the table. Con-
sequently, this makes clatter. more
deafening, If less irritating, than the
tuneless squeak of the British mangle.
Although the summers are intensely
hot in Cossack land. yet the mistress
OF the household has less trouble to
keep milk and other foods sweet there
than in England, for every house
above the rank of cottage has its ice
house, which is refilled during the lat
ter part of the winter with huge
blocks of ice brought, perhaps. many
miles across the frozen steppe from
some distant lake or river, in the bull

SHAMEFUL CARTOONS.
Reproach and dicule for the Soldier
and His Uniform.

The campaign caricatursts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt have succeeded in arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the ques-
ton: Is it disgraceful to fight for ones
country?
1t is amazing to see the uniform OF
soldier of the United States army pic
tured in such manner as to imply a
rcproach to its wearer!
1t was once thought to be an honora-
BILE thing for man to resign position,
ease, family. independence, friends and
home, and become n fighting machine to
help uphold the honor and the word of
his country.
There seems to have grown up diff
ferent view of this matter. The earnest
sacrifice of an American soldier is held
by some to be an affair to picture in
such a manner as to arouse contempt and
vulgar smokers in the crowd. The de-
voted soldier facing death for his coun-
try is, with these nameless miscreants, a
sight to be guffawed over, something to
be distorted into a laugh-raising cartoon.
To the laughing hyenas of the yellow
press the stainless sword of Washington
is but n clowns bauble. To them the
stern devotion of soldiers experience
is a farcical episode in mans career,
something to he distorted into thing to

ICONS vehERATeo IN RUSSIA.
Many Of the Images Are Of Wonderful
Magnificence.

Many OF the Images Are ct wonderful
Masnifieenee.
The generation with which the Rus
sian regards the icon, or sacred image
of his particular saint. is survival OF
an ancient belief in the efficacy OF
symbols.
For the most part these icons are
rough paintings upon wood. though
some of them are works of art by
the best of Russian and Greek paint
crs.
After the painting is finished 1t is
covered with a screen of silver or
gilt, with openings through which
only the hands and face of the saint
are visible. This silver is often beau
tifully engraved and mounted with
precious stones.
In the Greek churches of Russia a
great deal of the magnificence of the
decoration is due to thousands OF
these images which hang upon the
walls.
In some of the churches the decora-
ton is SO splendid that even St.
Peters in Rome seems cold in COM
parison.
In the outlying districts the priests
sui MAINTAIN vigorous trade IN
these images, either selling them to
the parishioners. or renting them for
a consideration, which varies with the
supposed efficacy of the icon, or the
ability of the parishioner to pay.
In the home the icon receives first
consideration from the devout visitor.
Upon entering a house the stranger
seeks out the special icon of the es-
tablishment, makes his prayer before
it, and then turns to greet the host or
. hostess.
Innumerable legends are current as
to the wonderful cures wrought by
these images, and by the lower
classes they are prayed to regularly
in order that he who owns or rents
the icon may be rid of his enemies, or
that some other miracle may be per-
formed in his favor.

however, was used for a larger type

They were all loaded at the same time
