BRYAN ON CLEVELAND.

w. J. Bryan devotes page OF the
Commoner to disecting the recent arti-
Gle by Grover Cleveland in the Saturday
Evening Post. He says in part:
The sage of Princeton has for some
seven wears stood outside of the Demo-
cratic party and tossed advice over the
wall to his former associates, but it is
not the purpose OF this editorial to critl.
else his forwardness and presumption.
Its aim is rather to put his advice into
concrete form so that it can be under
stood by the rank and file.
Not only does he want TO return to
the "old.time" Democracy, the DEM
ocracy exemplifed by his administra-
ton, but he wants the platform TO be
clear and unambiguous.
Mr.. Bryan then presents what he says
is the kind of platform Mr.. Cleveland
can stand on, as follows:
l. We believe that platform has no
binding force upon candidates after the
election.
2. Having faith0 in the sanity, con.
servatism and patriotism of Wall street
financiers, we promise to obey them in
all matters that concernithem.
3. If wei can find an excuse for the
issue of bonds, we promise to give the
financiers the::fir chance at them.
4. We are in favor of tariff reform to
limited extent, provided it does: not
interfere with sound money.
5. We agree ito keep on good terms
with the trusts, to collect as large a
campaign fund as the Republicans.
6. We. of course, sympathize with
labor, but oppose legislation which wage.
earners desire.
7. We are opposed to Imperialism
between campaigns.
Finally we are SO proud Of the emf
nently respectable crowd, or rather the
group that joined us in support of Pal
mer and Buckner in 1896, that we hest
tate to open our doors to the rabble.
Referring to Judge Parker, Of New
York, Mr.. Bryan says:
Mr.. Bryan has been busy for nearly a
year trying to ind out Mr.. Parker's
views on public questions, bnt so far has
failed. The nearest approach to clear
and definite statement is that ex Senator
Hill will vouch for his soundness in
every respect. bnt this recalls remark
once made by John Randolph: At the
race track two strangers accosted him.
One of them proposed to wager on a
race and added: "Mr. Smith (the other
strangely will hold the stakes" "But,"
asked Mr.. Randolph, "who would hold
MIR. Smith,"

The city authorities have placed the
school board at considerable inconyeni-
ence and expense by their very unbusi-
nesslike actions concerning the purchase
of the Wishkah street school property.
The city bought the property, and. on
the strength of the sale, the directors
proceeded to plan the buildings made
necessary by the fire and increase OF
pupils. The only thing in tire way Of the
transfer is that the sale was to be for
cash, and the city can only pay in war
rants. When the sale was made,
Councilman Sherwood had parties who
would have taken the warrants, but the
delay in closing up the deal has resulted
in those parties changing their minds.
As the warrants draw per cent into r
est, they present gilt. edged invest
ment, and it seems as if someone with
the money could be found to carry them.

Something OF sensation occurred in
the house of representatives February
% when Representative Burton Of Ohio,
chairman of the committee on rivers
and harbors, attacked the pending naval
appropriation bill. Mr.. Button declared
that more battleships meant more posi-
bilities of war. He said that it was not
political question; that the republic
can party was not necessarily committed
to great navy; and that congress was
appropriating $17s,OOO,OOo for military
purposes "all for war;" The Wash
ington correspondent for The Chicago
Record Herald says that Representative
Dayton, replying to Mr.. Burton, "prac-
tically read him out of the republican
party by quoting all the republican
national platforms since 1884 which de-
manded a substantial increase each
year in the United States navy"

Two FamOus Archers.

A curious lawsuit regarding the own
ership of lands was tried recently II
Ceylon. The trouble originated at NJ
archery competition held by King Para
krania Bahu VI, who ruled over Coy
lon in the fifteenth century, in which
there were two champions who outdis
tanced all the rest and alike hit every
mark that was submitted to them. Thu
king was about to divide the prize wher
from neighboring pond a frog was
heard to croak. The king seized upor
a solution and declared that whichever
could hit the frog. aiming only by ear
should gain the prize. One of the arch
ers transfixed the frog with the arrow
So delighted was the monarch that, he
sides the original prize, he gave to the
winner an estate of 10000 acres. The
claimants in the lawsuit were the de
scendants Of the archer.

A Hcnlthful COstume.

When the Fraser highlanders landed
in North America in 1857, 1t was pro
posed to change the dress on account
Of the cold winters and hot summers.
The officers successfully opposed this
and were ultimately justified by the
highlanders being the healthiest sol
diers in the army. In the campaign in
Holland in 1904 some regiments lost as
many as 800 from disease, but the
Black Watch, which had 800 recruits
in it's ranks, had only twenty-five cas-
ualties, including the killed in battle.

DERUNAi is known from the Atlantic
L to the Pacific. Letters Of conprat-

ing to the merits of Peruna as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every State
OF the Union.
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds
OF such letters daily. All classes write
these letters, from the highest to the
lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Peruna is
the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing
catarrh as their gre est enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony,
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning OF
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds,
is to cheat catarrh of it's victims.
Peruna nor only cures cafarrh, buI

THE MIDDLEsIAN.

In many of the attempts at SO called
agricultural reform the objective point
has been to get rid, if possible, Of the
middleman-the man who has to be
reckoned with in the exchange Of COM
modities between buyer and seller, be.
tween producer and consumer. These
refor1ners regard him as parasite
whose toll taking should be stopped
and the producer and consumer be
brought directly into contact We take
no stock in this sort Of reform. The
middleman, no matter whether he be
storekeeper, grain and stock buyer,
commission man, board Of trade man
or broker. is an indispensable adjunct
of modern business methods. His work
in caring for surplus shipments, in find.
ing buyers, in equalizing prices, is in.
dispensable alike to both producer and
consumer. He is here to stay, like the
trusts, and, like them, needs to be
watched and regulated.

WHY HE rs POOR.

So you are sixty and poor, are you?
Gould not raise $40 to save your life?
Nobody to lend you $40? Well, that's
tough. Had hard luck, you say Now,
see here, old man, is it not just the
logical result of your own folly? You
were bound to have what you called a
good time when you were young, never
saved a cent and spent this month
what you expected to earn next
month. You watched the clock when
you worked for others and always
tried to render the smallest possible
service in return for your wages and
so found yourself out of job when
work got scarce. You never protected
or valued your credit, and five dollar
bill burned hole in your pocket. Yon
married, ana your children had better
never have been born, while your wife,
poor soul. endured every penalty asso1
ciated with sharing the lot of shift
less, unthrifty and lazy man. It is Of
no use to blame the world, your fell
low men, the government or the Lord
for poverty in old age; nobody to-
blame but yourself, and the worst of it
all Is that, spite Of your experience,
could you live your life over again
you would do the same fool things.
